2 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1893—-TWELVE PAGES. LATE NEWS BY WIRE. BOLDEST ROBBERY IN YEARS. A Railway Company Treasurer bagged in His Office in Chicago. CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—John A. Drake, treasurer of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa Railroad Company, was sandbagged and | Fobbed of $20,000 in the office of the company on the ninth floor of the Rookery building at 7 o'clock today. Mr. Drake had the money in a little hand | satchel and was preparing to go out on the | Yoad to pay the employes. He had first | placed the cash in the valise and was about | to leave the office when two men stole up behind him and felled him to the floor by several hard blows on the head. The treasurer was knocked nearly in- sensible and ere he could move a finger in defense, he claims, the thieves tore the | satchel from his hand and rushed out of | the office, slamming the door as they went. They rode down in an elevator very unconcernedly and made their escape. Mr. Drake notified the central station as | soon as possible, and by 8 o'clock every de- tective that Inspector Shea could spare was put to work on the case. It was the most daring sensational robbery that has | Occurred in Chicago In many years. Occur- | ring, as it did, in one of the best-known of- fice buildings in the city. right in the very heart of the business district, the crime caused the greatest excitement. | The early hour selected by the thieves is all that prevented their immediate capture. | ————__ INSTALLED AT BUFFALO.

It Will Probably Exonerate Miss Jen- nifer—No Injuries Found at the Autopsy—The Evidence. In a little back room in house 1124 New Jersey avenue northwest this afternoon Deputy Coroner Schaeffer, assisted by Dr. | R. L. Gaines, made a post mortem exami- nation of the remains of Moses Stephens, the ten-year-old colored boy whose mother! swore out a warrant charging his teacher, Miss Sarah Jane Jennifer, with having in- flicted severe punishment on her boy. This | alleged assault was charged to have been committed in the latter part of September, soon after the opening of school. Miss Jen- nifer teaches in the Slater building on P street between North Captol and Ist streets northwest. room a few days. During former years the boy had been an unusually bright scholar | in his studies, but when in Miss Jennifer's school durng the few days he appeared drowsy all the time, and was so inattentive to his studies that she had to remind him a number of times that he would have to pay more attention. On the day of the alleged assault, it became necessary for the teach- er to speak to him, and she made him walk to her platform and there she required him to sit down. It is charged that she took the boy by the shoulders and in using a little force to seat him pushed him with such force that he sustained an injury to the spine. Dr. R. L. Gaines attended him. He found a contusion of the back when first called. The patient soon became worse, and at times seemed to suffer from partial paraly- sis, and was unconscious. The mother of the boy became alarmed and swore out a warrant for the teacner. Lawyer Carrington went into court as counsel for the teacher and did his best to get a trial for his client, but Judge Miller declined to hear the case because of the serious condition of the boy. Tne case had been set for next Saturday, but the death | of the boy takes the case out of the juris- diction of the court. | When the boy was first taken sick he was a large, healtny looking lad, but during his | several weeks of conunement he wasted | away to almost nothing. whe Autopsy. The autopsy made this afternoon was an Interesting one. The brain was abnormally |targe and was pear shaped. It was badly | congested and tne doctors concluded from | the examination that the brain and spine had been diseased for many months and | they thought the brain had probably been diseased during infancy. There was an en- Ure avsence of any evidence to show that the boy nad been injurea py a fall or blow. At 2 o'clock tuis aiternoon Coroner Wood- Ward neid an inquest im tne case at tne second precinct stauon. Miss Jennifer, wno had been nouned of tne inquest, was pres- ent at te nearing. | sur. Carringion present looking after the interests of his cuents. A number of boys and giris, pupiis in the school, were in attendance as witnesses. Mrs. Stevens, mother of the boy, was the first witness examined. She said that her boy was taken sick on the 27th of Septem- ber. When she called him down stairs at 6| o'clock that morning he said he had the| | cramps and she gave him a dose of medi- |cine. Witness told of statements made to | her by children concerning what had oc- [curred in school. She found finger prints |on his shoulders and a bruise on his back. | ‘The latter injury looked like it was made | by his suspenders. In describing her son's sickness she said he shduted, moaned, cried and praved. Dr. Charles B. Purvis testified that he made an examination of the boy, but failed to find any bruises on him. He told witness that his teacher had not punished him. Witness thought he had cerebral spinai| meningitis, the result of idiopathic causes. Patrick Lee, one of the pupils, twelve years old, was called. He said that Miss/ Jennie caught Moses and himself by the shoulder and sat them on the platform. She_| 4! sat them down easy. The witness was on the stand when this report closed. The verdict, it is thought, will fully exonerate the teacher. —__ IN HIS OWN BEHALF. | Thos.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. a Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Nov. 15.—The bears show no signs of fatigue, and still control the busi- ness of making values. The extreme dull- ness makes depression easy, and no re- sistance is encountered except that pro- duced hy the bears themselves in an ef- fort to cover. Opening prices were, in the main, strong, with occasional gains, but the character of the trading soon became irregular, owing to a diversity of opinion in regard to certain securities that some con- sider over-sold. There was no news, and fluctuations had no significance beyond re- flecting the temporary mood of the room at Manhattan was sold down to 126 3-4, by traders without any special reason, and Western Union declined 1 1-4 per cent to 86 3-8, leaving the remainder of the regular list practically unchanged. The industrials were comparatively ac- tive, Sugar again being well to the front, with a loss of 1 1-4 per cent to 9% 1-4. Chicago Gas made steady gains to 61 1-4, | = was strong within half a point of that price. Distillers was strong at an advance of 1-4 per cent, prompted by a renewal of the new pool theory. London continues to improve opportunities for securing bargains in our bond market, but has lately held aloof from active par- ticipation in stock transactions. Advices from that side indicate a willingness to subscribe liberally to the latter cause on a broader market in which intrinsic value will have some weight. Sterling continues firm, with rates nom- inally quoted at 482 1-2a48% 1-2. Bankers pre- dict an advance in rates, owing to the scarcity of commercial bills and the limit- ed volume of business. Money rates were unchanged at 11-2 for call and 5 and 6 for time accommodations. The clearing house statement reflects an average amount of business and reports ex- changes, $89,876,864; balances, $4,459,738, and subtreasury’s debit balance, $723,400. The Central Traffic Association meets in Chicago today for the purpose of discussing rates and adopting a scale for the govern- ment of the several roads comprising the association. Indications now point to a probable ad- vance in transportation rates for grain. The slight rally incident to delivery hour was taken advantage of to renew selling, and prices yielded easily to every effot Tariff conjectures applicable to sugar were abundant, but parties credited with inside knowledge say that no tariff legislation now hinted at will materially impair the company’s earning capacity. Union Pacific’s earnings for the week of September, just announced today, report the gross earnings for the whole system, $8,086,922, a decrease of $1,498,295, and net earnings, $1,198,014, a decrease of $840,453.
