The kEEsEvILLE BANK RoBBERY.- The
Keeseville bank has offered a reward of
twenty thou and dollars for the return of
the property of which it was robbed, last
Saturday. Thus far. not the slightest clew
to the robbers has been obtained. though
skilled detectives are now working up the
case and may perhaps get at the - true in
wsrdness - OF the affair The robbers were
certainly masters Of their profession, for they
made not n siagle mistake from beginning
to end. They bound the wstchmen, blew open
the vault and the spherical safe 1.-THE latter
claimed to be absolutely burg
made clean sweep of everything valuable,
walked out of the bank in broad daylight,
and made their escape in such a manner as
to leave not a trace behind. Not two hours
after their departure kilograms were sent to
all the Offices in this part of the country,
and officers of the law were despatched in
every direction, but nothing whatever could
be discovered.
So terrific was the force of the nitro
glycerine explosions that quantity of
paper in the vault was blown into pulp,
and the tn cOin-bCxes show perfect
impression, or cast, of the money they con-
tainec-and this was the only Indication of
wealth that could be found. The vault and
safe were completely demoralized and are
now "total wreck" That the ex-
plosions were unhesrd in the village is
due to the fact that there are few residences
in that locality, the nearest house being
separated from the bank by the Presbyterian
church, solid stone structure. The river,
too. was very high and its noise of course
had tendency to cut off other sounds.
