The Fall City TobaccOi Bank Rob-
berry.
LOUISVILLE, March ll.-Olher special
deposits in the Fall City Tobacco Bank,
robbed Sunday night, are found to be
missing to-day. Among them were ten
bonds of the Louisville, Cincinnati &
Lexington Short Line Railroad, numbers
from 1893 To 200, inclusive OF one thou
sand dollars each; also from 1876 to l4O.
inclusive, and l49 and l60 Jacksonville,
Madison & indianapolis Railroad first
mortgage bonds, $1,000 each; also, from
1897 10 1888 Of Jefersonville, Madison &
Indianapolis Railroad second mortgage
bonds, $1,000. All the Jacksonville
Railroad bonds, Short Line Railroad
bonds, and New Albany city bonds are
missing, amounting probably TO over
100000. It seems that the burglars
selected all the securities which were
easily disposed Of In the East, leaving the
local bonds and securities scattered over
the floor Of the vault. The work was
evidently done by professional burglars,
most skillTul and scientific In the busl-
ness. A further examination oithe vault
to-day reveals the TACT that q previous
effort had been made to burgllrize the
bank in the same way. An iron wedge
had been driven in the corner OF the
inner casing; also small hole cut through
the top. Tho wedge was rusty and the
hole filled up with putty, Il Is supposed
the attempt was made some months since
and rellnquished for lack Of tools, but the
same parties returned well prepared and
completed the work.

Plan for Paving the City.

The First Branch Of Council last even
Ing concurrd in resolution passed by
the Second aE a previous meeting, raising
. gpccIal committee to consider the ex-
pedicncy Of asking for legislative authority
to provide for paving the city by the fol-
lowing method: Whenever two'thirds
of the owners Of lots fronting on an IN
paved street petition Council, tho street Is
to be paved by the city, oue.half the cost
TO be borne by the lot owners in the pro-
portion Of their street frontage, to be paid
BY them 10 four equal annual installments;
the other half 10 be borne by the city,
The present value Of all existing pave
ments to bO estimated, and one'half TO be
charged to property owners according to
frontage thereon, to be paid, as in the
other case, in four equal annual Install
mentsi themoney derived from such in
stallments 10 be devoted to payment on
tue city's share OF the cost Of paving the
streets yet unpaved.
Tho pavement question for this city is
one Of no little magnitude, and the fore
going plan, while about fair as between
property owners, seems TO promise more
adequate results than any yet suggested.
1t would furnish assurance that whenever
the work o! paving any particular street
was undertaken 1t would be completed,
and we believe that with certainty ot
this before him, tho property owner
would pay the levy much more cheertully
and with better assurance Of speedy re.
turn In the enhanced value Of his prop.
eEty than he would pay taxes for gen.
eral fund to be expended in patchwork
or at the whim ot council or their com.
m,tee In such localities as they might
choose. We trust the special committee
on this subject will give the plan pro.
posed their early and favorable consider.
