Warner closed his teeth on the ear of his assailant and bit off a large piece. He was getting the best of the robber when the uiitn with the bandaged hand came to his companion's aid. The robber struck Warner over the he.wl with a billy, which compelled him to loosen his hold on the other thief. While he lay dazed from the blow, a revolver was thrust into his mouth anu discharged. Fortunately the bullet struck a tooth, which changed its courso, and It drilled a hole in Warner's cheek. The lenden missile went clear through his check, and Imbedded itself iu the floor of the basement. The two desperadoes then bent Warner over the head with short, loaded clubs until he was dono for. They left hiui lying in the basement, and escaped by the door throujih which they entered the place.  Chicago, Sep. 12.— Harry Warner, night clerk in the drug store of K. H. Hob royd, ha# had 11 terrible struggle for his life with two daring robbers, lie was shot in the month and then beaten on the head with billies until the thieves left him, as they supposed, dead. He was found lying iu a pool of blood, uuconscioua. The cash register iu the store had beeu rifled, and ■n attempt had been made to rob the wife. From Warner the thieves took $20 after he bad been beaten Into insensibility. He was awakened by a night call and admitted two men. After lighting the gas he was confronted with a revolver and ordered to hold up his bauds, and on complying one of tlio robbt'rs told him to put his hands in a rope loop held before him. He decided he would as soon be shot as to be Ixjund and gagged, and he Inserted only one of his hands, with the other hand ho made a drive at the robber's face, knocking him over backward, and he rolled down tho stairs to the Iwttoni. in the basement. As he fell he kept a hold of the rope nud the loop lightened on Warner's wrists. The clerk was dragged down with him and when they landed at the but torn Warner was on top. Corner Boom Hotel Paatell Bnilding, CLAYTON NORTH, THE ORIGINAL AND POPULAR ONE PRICE CLOTHIER, Maximo Mora, in whose name the claim is filed, is a venerable and honest Cuban gentleman, over 80 years of n«o. unable to speak more than a few words of Kngliah. It is asserted that he took out papers as an American citizen chlelly for tlto purpose of savin# bis large property In Cuba, valued nt several millions of dollars,from confiscation by the English Government on the ground of his alleged sympathy with tho Cuban revolutionists. In this object he was unsuccessful. His properly was forfeited, and this claim was brought against Spain in his name as an American citizen. It is also asserted that Mr. Mora now retains only a few thousand dollars of persona! interest in the claim. Rightly or wrongly, the Spanish Government is firmly imbued with the impression that the question between Sonor Mora and itself is one lietween a government and one of its own subjects, in which tho United States has no proper interest. Mr. Morct, the Spanish Minister, who made a provisional agreement for a settlement of the claims, subject to the approval of the Cortes, was compelled to retire from oftlco on this account. In a public debate in the Spanish Cortes it was stated that the Moret agreement was procured by representations by persons claiming to represent the Mora claim that Senators of the United States were no much interested in this matter that they were willing to approve n liberal reciprocity treaty with Spain provided the Mora claim was paid. These accusations were so openly made that Perry lielmont, when Minister to Madrid, peremptorily refused to follow the instructions of the State Department by further pressing the claim upon the Spanish government, and in this course he was followed by his suaaCssor, ex-Senator Palmer, of Michigan. Altogether the Mora claim has apparently much more in it than appears on the surfnce and somo interesting developments are expected. Washington, Sep. 13.—There is another side to the Maximo Morn case against the Spanish government, a bill in regard to which is before Congress. On the fare of the pa[>ers no rliim could make a stronger showing. Congress has passed repeated resolutions urging its payment. The State Deparment has more than once instructed our Minister to press for a settlement, and an agreement wns once actually entered intc by Spain for its settlement on a basis of $1,500,000. . pa PTTBraCSTJ 1* JSkJ E.

It is said that the tags on the cases, and even the hlllaof lading, have beeu changed by some one connected with the railroad.

When the undervaluation of Mets'a tobacco was <liacov$ral a few months ago, it is asserted that several customs offlctala were active in preventing suits being brought in the United States Court for the forfeituro of seized tobacco. These officials will now lie called upon to explain their action, an Secretary Carlisle has given Instructions that their testimony lio taken for transmission to him. TIm department officials are determined to alft the matter to the bottom and to punlah such persons as have assisted in defrauding the government.
