Couitet and Nicholas descended in all haste in the
same direction, ana searched everywhere in th3
hope Of hearing cry or moan to indicate that some
had survived the catastrophe. They at last per-
ceived an arm. At great risk to themselves they
reached the spot and dragged out from beneath the
blocks dead body, the skull crushed and the breast
lard open. They laid 1t on the snow and resumed
their search, but found nothing more.
They resolved TO descend and announce to the
sister and to the other families that there was no
hope beyond the faint one of finding on the follow
ing day the three other bodies buried In the ice.
They reached the ds-Mulets, where Miss Ark
wright had been left, and informed her that it was
useless TO wait any longer and that she herself must
without a moments delay, descend with them. The
writer of letter from ChamoUn says:-
Imagine the scene that took plnce-the lamenta'

Oh, mother let the candle burn,

His slow and weary footsteps homeward,
He'll turn away, and stay beside [ward

Then, mother, light him home again,
And greet him with pleasant smile;
Oh, try to wash away the stain,
And bring him from among the vile.
But if the light be burned tonight
The night be cold, and dark, and gloomy,
Speak gentle words, though dearly bought,
For they can quell the fierce and stormy.
Then, if he scorn your gentle words,
And say he's still among the number,
Just think of little singing birds,
Thatscarcely cease their songs for slumber.
Then, mother, light him home sgain,
And greet him with a gentle word;
Oh, seek to drive away his pain,
And draw him from the drunken herd.
And, mother, when leave these cares,
For ere the dawning of the morning
I'll tread path among the stars,
And gaze upon this world of mourning,
If then, dear father cannot see,
Oh, greet him with heart that'a loving,
And gently point him up to me,
And tell him there his Annals rowing.

ANOTHER GREAT BANK ROBBERY.

For several years past the firm of Crocker,
Wood d Co., ship chambers and commission
merchants at No. 90 South Street, have kept
their money and securities on special de-
posit in the vault of the Marine Bank, at
the corner of Wall and Pearl Streets.
Fearing that 1t might be stolen, the firm
directed that no one but themselves should
have access to the box, and, in order to
secure its greater security, placed it in a
compartment in the vault with five or six
others, and paid the porter of the Bank a
small amount to take especial care of it.
On the first inst, Mr.. Wood, one of the
firm, took from the box 1915 in gold, and
replaced the receptacle in its usual position.
AT that time the box contained $10S, 900
worth of United States bonds, $3.50, 900 in
railroad stocks and a small amount in gold.
On Saturday last Mr.. Wood again visited
the Bank for the purpose of procuring some
of the securities from the box, and was sur
prised to find that il was not in its usual
place.
He called the porter, and search was
made, but no trace of the box could be found.
It was barely possible that the senior part
ner, Mr.. Crocker, might have removed it to
some other place OF safety, and he, being
out of town, was at once telegraphed to on
the subject. He replied that he knew moth
ing of the securities, and the inevitable con
conclusion was that the box and its valuable
contents had been stolen by some adroit
thief In what manner this was done 1t is
impossible to say.
The police authorities were at once com
municated with, and Captain Young, of the
detective force, accompanied by detective
Radtord, visited the bank All of their in
quiries have thus far proved fruitless, none
being able to throw any light upon the case.
from the statement OF Mr.. Wood, however,
1t would appear that it was not such difi-
cult matter to rob the vault, he and other
depositors having free access to it at all
times during business hours. II would be
an easy matter for thief knowing this to be
the case, to have walked through the bank,
descended to the vault, and, taking any Of
the boxes placed there by the owners in
fancied security, make his escape with it,
To illustrate how easily a theft could be
committed by an adroit operator, Captain
Young gave hint to Detective Radford, and
that officer mingled with the crowd In the
bank, and watching his opportunity caught
up tin box containing large amount of
securities, from one of the counters and
placing 1t under his coat, proceeded as far as
the street door without being discovered.
He then returned and replaced the bog from
whence he had taken it, much to the >surprise
of the officers and employees of the &ank
The securities being left in the bank as a
special deposit, the loss will fall upon tho
persons owning them. 1t is stated that a
considerable portion of the stolen property
was owned by friends of the firm, who ht d
| placed it in their care for safe keeping A
reward OF $4,000 has been offered for the
recovery Of the property.
