DEPART MENT STORE. 11 JESSE JAMES ERIE. Robbers Enter a Bank in a Hew Hampshire Town in Broad Day. CASHIER KILLED AND VAULT LOOTED. Crimp; Committed in the Busiest Part of the Day, But was not Discovered for Several Hours The Cashier Knocked Sense less and His Throat Cut Officials Scouring t h k Country. A special from Sotnerswortli, N. H., savs: While resistino; the entry of two desperate and determined robbers and daring a futile struggle to protect $150,000 or more in money and securities in the compartments of the open vault oi the Great Falls Nation al Bank, of Somers worth, Friday afternoon, Cashier Joseph A. Stickuey was murdered near the desh, which he had occupied for years. ransacked the vault. After " killing Stickney the murderers ransacked the' vault and fled with all the cash it cons ained with the exception of a ive dollar gold piece. As near as can be estimated about 6,000 was taken, but it is impossible that the loss will considerably exceed the sum, as no one but the dead cashier knew the exact amount that was in the institu tion at the time. The robbers, after knocking Stickney down with a black ack, cut his throat. The most remarkable feature of the rob-. jery is the lact that $100,000 in bonds of the United States, which were kept in one ot the drawers of the big vault, and which the robbers evidently ex amined hastily, were not taken. Neither was any of the negoti able paper and securities of the jauks; in fact, nothing is mis sing except the cash. No one was aware that there was anything wrong at the bank mtil neatly 2 o'clock, or an lour alter tne murderous work was done. I he perpetrators had ample time to escape. scouring the country. This evening scores of deputy sheriffs, marshals, police and citizens are scouring this sec tion of the State and Maine, which from that city is just across the Salmon Falls river. Had the robbers been appre hended soon after the murder and robbery became public, it would have been difficult to pre vent a double lynching in the Granite State. The murdered man, in addition to his position as a cashier and director ot the Great Falls Bank, was its treas-. urer. It is not known exactly what time the bank was entered, but it was evidently between 1 and 1:15 o'clock, as two men, strang ers, were seen going up the hill not very far lrom the bank at 1:20 o'clock. Mr. Frank B. Reed, a local merchant, was the first to dis cover the crime. He went up the staircase of the bank build ing at 2 o'clock and found the thick plate glass in the hall door of the bank completely shattered. He was considerably alarmed, and without waiting to invest gate he hurried from the build ing and notified City Marshal Eaton. The-latter responded at once. A DESPERATE BATTLE. They broke in the door and then found evidences of a des perate struggle. On' the floor in a great pool of blood was the lifeless body of Stickney. His head had been nearly severed irom his body, the robbers hav ing cut his throat. The head was marked with several deep gashes made by a heavy black- jack and the skull was fractured. The body was covered with blood and the walls aud furni ture bore additional evidence of the terrible deed. ' Stickney had died fighting desperately. A CLEW found. The first clew was obtained from Mrs. Joshua Smith, who lives near the bank, and Dudley Cheney, who was passing on the street, wdio reported seeing- a man of dark complexion, hurry up the hill, carrying a bag heav ily weighted over his shoulder. Mr. Cheney saw the man throw the bag behind a stone wall, change some of his clothes and finally get into a buggy, driven by another man, which started up the hill. The bag was also taken. Other people reported seeing the buggy and in West Rochester a dark sorrel horse and buggy were observed headed for Sal mon Falls river, which forms the Maine State boundary. That outfit has mysteriously disap. peared despite the fact that the whole section thereabouts wns being searched Friday night. Mr. Stickney 's family consist ed of his wife, a son and two daughters. He was wealthy and well known in New England banking circles. He had been cashier of the Great Falls Nat ional Bank for over twenty -five years. j Later. A special from Mon treal, Canada, says: Joseph E. Kelley, the murder er of Cashier Stickney ,at Somers worth, N. H., has been caught. He admitted that he had com-, mitted both the murder and the robbery, and says he had no ac complice. He vehemently ins sisted, however, that he had no intention of killing the cashier, but that he had to do it because the old p-entleman recognized him. After telling Mr. Stick ney with blows on the head, when the cashier showed signs of resrainin consciousness, he regaining consciousness, slashed him with a knife. CORBETT TO FITZSIMMONS. The Defeated Chamuion Chai- lnges the Victor at Carson. On Tuesday last, the 20th, James J. Corbett formerly chal lenged Robert Fitzsimmons to meet him once again in the prize ring, aud deposited $5,000 as a forfeit. The challenge was as follows: "I hereby challenge you to box me any number ot rounds for the championship of the world, under the provisions of the law, before the club offering the best inducements. "As it would be a violation of the law to propose a side stake that is a detail that may be sat isfied at your pleasure. "As an evidence of my sin cerity, however, I have to-day deposited the sum of $5,000, which I invite you to cover, and name a time and place to meet me aud arrange the final de tails." James J. Corbett. FITZ WILL NOT ACCEPT. Fitzsimmons has declared that he meant to pay no attention to challenges from Corbett or any one else for a time as he had earned a rest and meant to have it. He added, however, that he proposed to follow Corbett's ex ample as dictator of the prize ring and his reply wras that the latter should earn a reputation of a fighter instead of a boxer before he presumed to challenge him. A Color Line at Annapolis. It looks as if the life of the colored boy recently appointed as a cadet from Ohio to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, is not going to be altogether happy while he is in that institution, already the white cadets have begun to show their displeasure at the appointment, audit will be interesting to note the result. Couo-ressmau Shttttuce, who made the appointment, says he will stand by the boy, whereas the cadets ay if he comes to the Academy "he will have to flock by himself," and that the length of his stay there will depend very much upon the amount of that kind of business he can stand.

Many Counties Flooded and Every Boat is Bearing Refugees From the Inun dated Districts -The Gen eral Situation Through-, out the Delta is Repoti. d Encouraging. The crevasse in the Bitrirs levee, La., about six miles be low Vicksburg, Miss., was 1,700 feet wide at the last reports, aud rapidly widening. The water is rushing 'through with a roar like Niagara, and all day loug refugees have been fleeing to Vicksburg with their stock and other property. The wate. was fifteen feet deep against the les vee when it broke aud the men who were on the spot say that it poured through in vast circular masses or whirlpools 20 feet high. A large part of Madison, Ten sas, Catahoula and Concordia parishes wrere overflowed by it and the resulting distress will be very great. The number of Ref ugees in Vicksburg has been larjreiv increased and tliey are coming on every boat. The wa ter flooded the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific railroad in a few hours, and trains west of that place are abandoned in consequence. NO LOSS OF LIFE. All the convicts were at work on the levee when the crevasse came, but have been safely put on board a steamer, and so far no loss of life is reported in the vicinity of the latest outbreak. The outflow of water at Biggs will do much to relieve the le vees on the Mississippi side. It will also hasten the passage of the flood through the Mississippi delta, thus ensuring a crop in that rich valley. There are many weak spots reported in the Louisiana levee, and another break may occur at any hour. MORE E NCO U R AG I NG . Throughout the flooded Mis sissippi delta the situation is more encouraging. The back waters are slowly falling, passing through the Yazoo into the main channel north of Vicksburg. At Helena- the river has fallen nearly five feet since April 4th. In the northern part of that city, which has been under water for more than six weeks, the water has fallen sufficiently to allow many people to move back into their houses. The water inside the southern par', of the city is fast disappearing by means of gigantic pumps, which are kept running night aud day. At Cairo, Paducah, Cincinnati and Louisville the river contin ues to fall. A large amount of supplies were forwarded to Mem phis April 17th. The steamer Harbin carried provisions aud food up the St. Francis river to supply the relief stations estab lished there. Lieutenant Carn ahan went on this trip to super intend the distribution of sup plies. Advertising for a Stray House. (Pittsburg Chrouicle-Tclegraph.)

The Soldiers Dust Deposited In side the Sardophagus at the Monument. The body of General Gra?;t was removed last Saturday after noon from the temporary tomb which Ins sheltered it for nearlv twelve ears, to the imposing mausoleum which is designed to be its permanent resting place. The interest of the public in th? event was attested by the p: ence of several thousand peopl , although the hour for the re moval had not been previously announced. There were four wreaths and a sheaf of wheat on the lid of the cedar box containing the casket. There they had been for nearly twelve years, but were in a remarkably good state of preservation. Directly on top of the casket and inside the lead casing was a neatly planted wreath of oak leaves. Colonel Grant, who was in the outer iuclosure, had asked for this several times, and when it was reached it was lifted out carefully aud wrapped up. Col. Grant explained that his dauglu ter, Julia, then a little girl, had made the wreath herself at Mt. McGregor. Why Troops are Leaving Cuba. It is asserted that Spain is more anxious to settle her Cuban troubles just now than she has been at any period since the outbreak of the war in the is land, and the reason thereof is not difficult to understand. The Madrid Government in the first place is rapidly approaching a crisis. On June 1st next it will be called upon (o pay $50, 000,000 in interest on the public debt, and not a dollar is avail able for that purpose. Effort after effort has been made to negotiate loans without success, and in the face of this condition of affairs the war in Cuba is piling up additional debt against her in sums which foot up many millions. Added to all this the war between Greece and Turkey further in creases the difficulty Jo negoti ate loans, for under the con ditions which now prevail in Europe, money is needed at home by every nation and none have any to loan. But this is not all. There is . 1 n . qreat unrest tlirougiiout tne Kingdom, and the Carlists, un derstanding this, have taken ad vantage of the fact aud arc or- 2anizinr their forces for another upiising. Indeed, of all Spain's troubles, without and within, the greater danger now appears to be nearer at home than Cuba, aud the belief prevails that it is for "this reason that the home Government has o.dered the withdrawal of certain troops from the islands.

Proposition to Lease 212,840 Acres of Swamp Land IN EASTERN CAROLINA Association of Northern Club Men Want to Establish a Winter Resort Near New Berne. (NewsJi Observer) An application has been re ceived by the State Board of Ed ucation from Favette C. Giles, of Turf, Field and Farm, Park Row, New .York, who desires to lease 212,840 arcres of land in Eastern North Carolina, for the purpose of completing an associ ation of Northern gentlemen for a game preserve and winter re sort. Mr. Giles, in making this ap plication, is acting in behalf of the "Field and Shore Associ ation," which was incorporated by the last Legislature. The objects of this association, as set forth in these articles of incor poration, are the preservation, importation, breeding aud pro pagation of all game animals, birds and fishes of both Europe and America, which are adapted to the waters of the State, aud 10 the different sections where the occasion may operate; the affording of facilities for hunt ing, shooting and fishing, on its grounds to its stockholders, and the issuing of permits to others, subject to its rules aud regula tions; the cultivation of forests, furnishing its stockholders and otners witu agreeable summer aud winter resorts, respectable hotels, cottage houses and any thing necessary or proper for their accommodation. The headquarters of this association are to be at the city of New Berne. In his proposition for leasing this preserve, with au option of purchase, Mr. Giles sets forth that large bodies of land are necessary for game parks for deer, bear and other game, be sides fields for good quail shoot ing, and seacoast and lakes for ducks. These, of course should be easily and quickly accessible by water and land from head quarters, and they must be adapt ed to the purpose for which they are intended. On behalf of the "Field and Shore Association," as lessor, Mrs. Giles asks for a lease of certain lands aud waters belong ing to the Board of Education, for a term of ninety-nine years, with an option of purchase at any time during the lease upon all these lauds aud waters, or upon any undivided part thereof. The purchase price ofiered is at the rate of fifteen cents per acre, for the amount purchased, for both laud and water. The am ount of annual rental to be paid by the lessee, for the first two years is to be the nominal sum of $10 per acre. For the re maining ninety-seven years the annual rental is to be 5 per cent, upon the amount the lands and waters leased would ams ount to, computed at the rate of 15 cents per acre. For instance 300,000 acres at 1 5 cents per acie would amount to $2,500 per annum for rental. The lessor does not, however, propose to pay any taxes except for such permanent improve ments as may be put upon the property. This lease is to con fer upon the lessor all the rights and privileges of ownership in and over these lands and waters, including the right to cut and sell timber aud wood. Mr. Giles says his association intends to bring into the State many hundreds of the wealthiest men from New York, Boston, Chicago and from all sections of the liast and Middle States. They will be men who will have capital and will make such in vestments iu the State as they deem advantageous. These lands comprise eight tracts, as follows: 1. Carteret county open lands, between Core Sound, North River and Neuse River, comprising ioG,ooo acres. 2. White Oak Swamp iu Ons low and Jones counties, 90,000 acres. 3. Long Lake in Jones county, 1,280 acres. 4. Ellis Lake, 3,000 acres. 0. Catfish Lake, 1,000 acres. 7. Catfish Pocosin, in Jones and Craven counties, 8,000 acres. Dover Pocosin, in Jones county, acre age unknown. To Care Constipation Forever. Take Cascarets Candv Cathartic 10c or 25c It C C. C. fail to cure, druggiaU return! money. e .1 '4 - Under the Weather.
