Sp rited Fight Between
Bank Robbery and Lo-
cal Authorities.
MUCH POWDER BURNED.
Several Persons Were Shot During the
Battle—The Desperadoes Were Overcome
and Placed Voder Arrett-Olliccrs Are
Convinced They Are the Men Who Bob-
bed the Griswold, Iowa, Bank—Citizens
and Officers Joined In the Battle.
Council Bluffs, Feb. 25—A spirited
fight between bank robbers and local
authorities occurred this afternoou, in
which several persons were shot and
mnoh powder barned. The offioers
bad been notified to watch for the men
who this morning robbed the Griswold
Iowa, bank. Jaat after dusk an officer
notioed a man in the office of the Kiel
hotel, who answered the description.
Four offioers therefore entered the
offloe and invited the snspeot to go to
jail. As the five men left the hotel
two other hotel guests arose and fol-
lowed, keeping several yards behind.
Just as they reached the steps of the
oourt house O’Brien dropped behind,
telling his prisoner to walk in front.
As he did this the'two men following
the party oommenoed firing at the offi
oers. Pulling their guns, the offioers
returned the fire, the prisoner and the
two strangers separating from the offi
oers and shooting as they ran. Some
minutes the fusllade was kept np,
citizens and other officers joining in
the battle until the desperadoes were
overcome and placed under arrest and
taken to jail where they gave the names
of John Riley and James Wilson.
Deputy Sheriff O’Brien was severely
wounded, a bail in the abdomen lodg-
ing near the spine. Riley was hit in
the groin, the ball penetrating some
two inohes. The third man esoaped,
pursued by a posse. Search at the jail
yielded a largo number of postage
stamps, a quanty of small change, con-
vincing the officers that they have the
right parties.
Mortoimon Soulier), on a passing
street oar, was struck between the eyes
by a spent ball.
Atlantic, Iowa, Feb. 25—The First
National bank of Griswold, Gass conn
ty, was entered last night by burglars
who blew open the vault, doing over
$3,500 damage. The noise was so great
the bnrgl&rs made a hasty departure.
Over $400 werth of stamps belonging
to tha postmaster and $120 in nickels
and probably other valuables were
taken, but the wreok is so great it is
impossible to tell what was stolen.
Frefinrlok Dcnglaok’ Funeral
Washington, Feb. 25—The funeral
of Frederick Donglasetook piece today
at the Metropolitan church, whioh was
crowded. “Rock of Ages” was ren-
dered by the oholr, followed by the
reading of the 90th Psalms by Bishop
A. W. Wayman, D. D. The funeral
sermon was delivered by Rev. Dr. J. T.
Jenifer of the Metropolitan church.
Dr. Jenifer said: “Douglass was a
ohristiau. He broke with the Ameri-
can ohurch and with the American
ohrietian dogma and held Christ to be
above oreed and above the church.
In this terrible soul conflict he blan
dered into bewilderment, but his de-
liveranoe came and he has often spoken
to me of the joy his soul bad in God.”
Tributes were paid by Rev. II. T.
Stevenson of the Auaoosta Baptist,
ohnrob, and Dr. J. E. Rankin, presi
dent of the Howard University. John
Hutchinson, of Boston, an old friend
of Dor glass, sang a hymn by special
request of Mrs. Douglass and was fol-
lowed by Clement Haentjens, minister
from Hayti. Remarks followed by Mrs.
Susan B. Anthony, who read a letter
from Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Mrs.
May Wright Sewall, president cf the
Woman’s Connoil now in session in
this city, also 6poke. The olosing
prayer was offered by R*v Anna
Shaw. _

ChiclGO, Feb. 25—The Atchison
road has given notloe that beginning
Wednesday next it will reduce one way
rates from Los Angeles east by $2 50.
The oat is openly made, according to
the Atchison because other lines have
for some time been making it In con-
nection with the sale of tickets over
the Texas Pacific road. The out has
been diverting business from the
Atchison and that road has made up
Its mind that it oonid not
longer stand suoh conditions. Tho
action of the Athohson has been a
heavy blow to the western trunk
line (ommittee just as It is prepared
to go into aotive operation. All con-
nections of (he Texas Paoifio deny In
the strongest terms that they have had
any share in the out, and the Alton,
one of th# lines accused of being in
with the Texas Paoifio has shown con-
clusively that it has notfead a Texas
Paoifio tioket within the interval In
which the out is said to have been
made. All manner of heavy pressure
Is broughtupon the Atchison to induoe
it to rescind the action, but so far
nothing has been accomplished.
The Bond Allotments.
New York, Feb. 25—A great majori-
ty of the New York bidders for the
now 4 per cent government bonds <are
very muoh disappointed at the result
of allotments made by the Belmont
Morgan syndicate. Few, if any appli-
cants, it is said, received more than 50
per cent of their bonds, many not more
than 10 per oent and a large number
reoeived notice to this effeC::
“We regret to say owing to the
amount of applications for United
States 4 per oent bonds under our cir-
culars, we have beeu unable to allot
any bonds under your application.”
This was signed by Belmont & Go.,
and Morgan & Go. It Is alleged no
bonds were allotted Wall street brok-
ers who might want them for specula-
tion. The syndicate has decided to
withhold all information as to amounts
and therefore the facts of the oase can
only be obtained by piece meal from
would be subscribers. Ic 19 generally
accepted that those who offered gold in
payment for bonds reoeived the most
consideration.
There Is a prevailing Impression that
a large percentage of the bonds were
allotted abroad and borne bidders sac-
rificed to foreigners for the reason it is
to the interest of the syndicate that
gold be brought from outride the Unit
ed States.
The syndicate today deposited $1,300,-
000 gold in the sub treasury in antiol
pation of more gold now in transit
from Europe.
The bonds ^opened here today 118
bid, 11934 asked and are now 118)4,
offered at 119.__
The House.
Washington, Feb. 25—The general
deficiency bill, the last of the regular
appropriation bills, passed the house
today.
Almost the entire day was spaut in
disoussing the amendment to pay
Great Britain $425,000, the amount of
damages agreed upon by Secretary
Gresham and Sir Julian Paunoefote, to
be due that ooantry under the award
of the Paris arbitration tribunal on
aocount of the seizure of some twenty
Canadian sealers by the United States
previous to the modus vivendi of 1892,
The amendment was strongly at-
tacked by Gannon, of Illinois, Hendsr
son of Iowa and Hitt of Illinois, on
the ground that the amount was un-
reasonably large,-that some of the ves-
sels were owned by oitlzens of the
United States and $375,000 was for con-
structive or speculative damages (the
estimated oateh). Only $31,000, they
contended, was due to Great Britain.
Breokinridge, MoOreary, Hooker and
Dlngley supported the amendment,
maintaining that the government, no
matter how bad a bargain, must carry
out the awards of the Paris tribunals
in good faith. Dingley declared that
it was preferable to pay Great Britain
$425,000 than to leave the assessment
of damages to an empire appointed by
a foreign power.
The amendment carried in the com-
mittee, but was defeated in the house
112 to 143.
Some exoitement was oansed by an
effort to strike oat in the house the
appropriation for an extra month’s
salary for employes of the bouse and
senate and theolerks of members, but
it failed and the amendment prevailed
143 to 108. Motions to reoonsider and
to recommit were voted down as
promptly as offered until the oppoel
tion dwiudied to a point where it could
not get the ayes and nayes. Then they
surrendered and the bill passed.
The Senate,
Washington, Feb. 27—Tho senate ia
now working day and night on the ap
priation bills in order to complete them
before the session doses. The sundry
civil appropriation bill was considered
with little interroption or delay from
11a. m. to 5:30 p. m , and again at the
night session. The item of $150,000 for
purchasing the historic property of the
late James G. Blaine, in order to pre-
vent its use for other purposes, ooca
sioued a sharp debate, but wa9 finally
agreed to. ©Iher senate amendments
were agreed to during the day lnolud
lng an appropriation for a temporary
federal building at Chicago, of $200,-
OCO, and for beginning the new govern-
ment building at Chicago, $400,000.

Fitzsimmons Acting Ugly.
Cleveland, Feb. 25—A local paper
prints a 9tory of a quarrel between
Pugilist Bob Fitzsimmons and his
manager, Captain Glori, whioh came
near resalting in bloodshed Saturday.
The cause was the payment of a per-
sonal bill of Fitzsimmons’ whioh Glori
said shoald not be paid with theatrical
money. This angered Fitzsimmons,
and he threatened to wipe the floor
with Glori but a movement as if to
draw a revolver by Glori, put a stop to
Fitzsimmons’ aoger, and he refrained
from exerolslng his strength against
his manager. It is said Fitzsimmons
has been acting ugly of late nud it is
rumored that he and Glcrl will sepa-
rate in a couple of weeks. Fitzsim-
mons brother lu law will then manage
tho 6how.__
