A Kentuclsy Bank Robbery.

LOUISVILLE, May 3.-A Cottrtsr-Jourl
Paris special says: Some weeks since th'
Clearing House at Louisville notified tht
Kentucky banks that four expert Chicago
cracksmen, VIM. Mitchell, VIM. Reid
James Pierson and AL. Better, were in the
State and to keep look out for them,
There has evidently been failure to dc
this.
This morning upon the opening Of the
Citizens Bank, the cashier discovered
that the vault had been entered. An en-.
trance was effected by the cellar OF the
house in which the bank is situated.
The house had been unoccupied for sew
eral weeks and the burglars had all day
Sunday, besides Saturday and Sunday
nights, to work unmolested.
The vault is q poor one, made OF brick,
and the failure Of the burglars to enter the
main safe can only be attributed to their
being scared of, as they left magnificent
kit OF tools behind them. A box contain
ing 500 and package containing SIS, 900
in bonds was taken; $1,000 Of the bonds
are OF the Cincinnati Southern, an1 be-
long to Mrs. O. S. Brent, this city; s., ,500are
Carlisle, KY, bonds, the property Of Mrs.
John Marshall, OF Coyington. Payment
can be stopped on the latter, but the bank
officials say the Southern bonds can only
be regained bya compromise with the
burglars. Its supposed the parties men,
toned in the foregoing are the guilty ones.

"Asstated, there Is at at present oil cash

tional silver coins and OF nickel and minor
coins, about S23, ,0O0, 900, which would not
be available for the purchase OF bonds,

mined by Congress. deem the mater
Of advertising in advance the amount OF

the bonds and to dictate terms to the
Treasury. Under the existing method Of
making purchases 1t is understood by all
that the surplus revenues OF the Govern
ment will be paid out from week TO week
in the purchase OF bonds, bids for which
will be received up to noon OF each
Wednesday, at the Sub.Treasury, in New
York.
''The amount OF bonds to be purchased
is not made public until after all the bids
are In, thus preventing any combination
to compel the Treasury to pay exorbitant
prices for the bonds. II is we'll understood
that the Department reserves the right TO
reject all bids, should the prices be con-
sidered unusually high, right which
would be surrendered under the present |
bill. know OF no reason for making any
purchases OF bonds beyond the amount OF
the surplus resources, and for this pur-
pose the Treasury has sufficient authority, |
while the present method OF making the
purchases Is probably as advantageous to
the Government as any that can be devised.
