HOTEL ROBBERY.
Cash Drawer Robbed. but the Safe Not
Blown Open.

Saturday night thieves entered the Linn
Hotel, at Belmont, Belmont county, Ohio,
and stole $40 in small change out OF the
money drawer, and made an unsuccessful
attempt to blow the safe open. Yesterday
Mr.. Frank Linn, the proprietor, was inter
viewed in this city by a REGISTER reporter,
and the following information was CLEAN
ed. Mr. Linn noticed several strange men
in his town Saturday afternoon, one of
whom bought a bottle of whiskey at the
hotel bar. The family retired to bed about
10 o'clock, and about an hour afterwards a
transient boarder came TO the hotel intoxi-
Gated. About II o'clock Mr.. L. heard quite
a commotion in the hotel office, but paid
no particular attention, thinking the
boarder had been out relieving his over
charged stomach. Sunday morning upon
getting up he could not get into the office.
Going outside he found nearly all the doors
of the house securely tied with ropes, aud
upon getting into the Office through win
dow, discovered the robbery and also that
the burglars had taken the trouble to saw
boards off the proper length TO fit against
the doors and completely lock them. The
thieves entered the building through
the window. Two holes were drilled
in tie safe door, but for some reason the
explosion did not open the safe for them.
Had the burglars succeeded in opening the
safe large sum Of money would have been
secured. Tue robbery was certainly was
planned by old hands at the business. The
men had stolen three fine horses before en-.
tering the building ana had them tied
close to the hotel, TO use in case they We're

which the John Brown rebellion came
to an end. Ii is in the Government
reservation, which lies close to the rail-
read track on the strip of lowland between
lie hills that make up Harper's Ferry aud
the river. The armory stands in ruins, as
il did in the war days. The remaining
buildings within the enclosure, except
John Brown Fort, are in dilapidated
condition.
The Fort Itself
is in q fairly good state Of preservation.

These Government grounds, and espec-

John Brown Fought Against fsfe'
have q rare historic interest. Their pres
emit neglected condition is disgrace TO the
country. 1t is doubtful whather the site
will ever be used for Government pur-
poses again. The armory would in any
event, have to<be entirely rebuilt. Prooa-
bly, the best thing would be to pull down
the ruins, remove all the buildings from
the enclosure except the historic fort and
restore that as nearly as possible to its con-
dition at the time OF the John Brown re-
bellion.
when the Grounds Were Turfed
and the wall was painted, the Government
would have nothing to be ashamed OF. Al
ter working this transformation, possibly
the ranks OF the army might be depleted,
without imperiling the existence OF the
republic, by having soldier take charge

The fearful storm, central in Iowa." as
the weather bulletin had it, and which
played such havoc in Ksnsas City on Sun
day, must have been responsible for the
touch of it we had yesterday. 1t opened
with slight drizzle in the morning, but
tie afternoon cleared the sky ard
brought a fine merry day. Toward
dusk the temperature changed from
cool to close and sultry, and
fierce storm began to brew. During the
day the barometer fell full inch and
great electrical disturbance in the atnos-
phere was apparent. Before the storm
burst, the air became almost ST tiiug and
the clouds hung low and threatening. The
rain came about 6 O'Clock, and such au-
other night the oldest inhabitant scarcely
remembers. 1t blew great guns aud the
rain fell in torrents, while vivid and
binding sheets of lightning and the heavy
artillery OF the thunder were incessant and
