New Orleans Banks Claim to Be the Victims et Anti-Lottery Se- cret Agents. New Orleans, Nov. 9.—For some {time past depredations upon the ;mnailin this city and section have | been of constant occurrences. While ; business houses have suffered to some extent, the larger share of an- noyance and loss have fallen upon the banks, which seem to be the es- pecial objects of attack on the part of the thieves. The New Orleans National, the largest bank in the city, having 16 per cent, of the ag- gregate deposits of all banks in New Orleans, has suffered so severely that afew deys ago the directors decided to appeal for relief to Post- master-General Wanamaker. A let ter was addressed Postmaster Eaton of this city giving full details of the long-continued and constantly in- creasing series of robberies, and ask ing for relief at the hands of the department at Washington. The rifling of the letters of the bank be- gan immediately atter the passage of the anti lottery postal law, and has continued without cessation te the present time. As an illustration the case of the Union Bank of Key West is men- tioned. The Key West Bank first remitted a check to the New Orleans National Bank, which wae never re- ceived It then sent a duplicate which sbared the same fate, and Hermosillo, N. M..

In the meantime the rear brake- man, understanding ihe situation, rushed back to the junction and got help and an engine. The engine and posse at once went to the scene andthe rebbers fled. The train went on to Milwaukee and the fast mail train which leaves Chicago at 3 a. m. picked up the safes and carried them to Milwaukee.
