Additional Particulars OF the Bank
Robbery at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, March 11.-Other special
deposits of the Falls City Tobacco bank
robbery Sunday night, are found to be
missing, among them are ten bonds OF
the Louisville, Cincinnati and LeXing-
ton Short-line railroad, Nos. 1913 to 202,
inclusive, Of $1,000 each; also l35 to 14C
inclusive, and 149 and $50 Of the Jefiar-
sonyille, Madison and Indianapolis rail-
road first-mOrtgage bonds $1,000 each;
also 1527 to 1888 of the Jeffersonville,
Madison and Indianapolis railroad Sec
ond-mortgage bonds, $1,000 each. All
ofthe Jeffarsonville railroad bonds, short
line railroad bonds, and the New Albany
city bonds are missing, amounting prob
ably 10 over S1O0, 600. 1t seems the burg
lars selected all the securities that are
easily disposed of in the east, leaving
local securities scattered over the floor
of the vault. The work was evidently
done by professional burglars, mOst,skill-
ful and scientific in the business. Furth-
er examination of the vault to-day re-
veals the fact that previous efforts had
been made to burglarize the bank in
some way. An iron wedge was driven
in a corner of the inner casing, and also
a small hole cut through the top. The
wedge was rusty and the hole filed up
with putty. Itissupposed an attempt was
made some months ago, and relinguished
for lack of tools, but some parties re-
turned well prepared and accomplished
the work.
Driver, the Wife-Slayer, 40 be Rung.
CHICAGO, March II. - John Mason,
the counsel for VIM. Driver, the con-
victed murderer, who is sentenced
to be hanged here on Friday next, last
evening notified the jaler and his un-
fortunate client that Judge McAllisteI
had granted a writ of supersedeas in the
case. A dispatch TO the Associated
Press from Ottawa, Illinois, states that
Judge McAllister refused the applica-
ton. 1t appears that the application
was made on Friday last. Yesterday
morning Judge McAllister sent Mason
by express the papers in the case, to-
gether with an opinion refusing applica-
tion for writ. Mason did not open the
enclosure at all, but sent them by special
messenger to the clerk of the supreme
court at Ottawa, to whom he had tele-
graphed that he had an order for the
writ. The clerk on opening the pack
age found that writ had been refused.

can has 8 special from Jefferson City
which says it is understood there that a
memorial was drawn up at the Planters
house, Sunday, by several leading Dem

lege5 and elections at Washington,

members ia the rotunda, and who were
Phelps men, that Bogy would give ten
