MILES OF WHEAT DESTROYED.
Twenty-Six Thousand Acres of Grain Swept
Away by Overflow.

San FRANCISCO March 19.-The breaking of
the levee at Roberts Island near Stockton, Cal,
last night destroyed q, 900 acres of wheat, val
ued at $780, ZOO,
The broken levee was one of the largest on the
island Before the break occurred the middle
section of the levee cut in hopes of relieving
the cross levee, but the relief came too
late. The water did not run off fast
enough to take off the pressure
A sudden heavy rush of water was made, and as
it swept down the island on its way toward the
lower section, the immense fields of tall grain
disappeared from sight, transformed into one inn,
mense lake. The Inhabitants quickly huddled
together what they could carry off in wagons
seeking refuge on the lower section
Arrangements will be made to take them ashore
should the lower levee give way. In the mean
time every effort viii be made to strengthen it,
Horses and cattle stampeded. wild with fright
breaking across toward the dry ground of the
lower portion. If the lower Ievee reaks the
loss will be fully 81, 900, 600.

THE ST. LOUIS EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Additional Proceedings Against Tiller-HOw
the Robbery Was Executed.

ST LOUIS, March ia warrant was sworn
out this morning by f. NJ. Norman. general
manager of the Pacific Express Company, charg-
ing Prentice Tiller with having robbed the COM
pany of $4,000 Tiller still refuses to implicate
anyone else in the robbery. but the evidence
against George McFadden is regarded as very
strong.
1t is now ascertained that Tiller and McFad-
den occupied a room in house at Alb Morgan
street, only three blocks from the express Office
for one week before and three days after the
robbery, and that neither disguised himself nor
made any special effort at concealment both be-
ing repeatedly on the street. Here is where the
money was prepared for shipment. On Tuesday
night Mcfadden started for Chicago with q
leather trunk containing most of the money
ana on arrival there, shipped it to Milwaukee,
directed to John Payton. Tier followed on
friday night, but on the Wednesday previous
ne shipped $2,O0 silver coins to Kansas City,
addressed to q fictitious name, with orders to
keep till called for. This has been recovered by
the express company. The Morgan-stroet house
was occupied by NJ. T. Burton, who identifies
McFadden as the man who rented the room to
him under the name of Taylor and Identifies
Tiller as the man who occupied it with Nc
Fadden. After the robbery was committed the
express officials claim to have positive proof
that McFadden left here with the leather trunk
and was in Chicago on the 9TH inst He returned
here late in the week. and on Sunday night
following started for Sherman, Tex They have
no doubt of being able to prove his completely in
the robbery.
warrant was sworn out against McFadden
this afternoon and he was placed in Jail, occu-
pyng a cell with Tiller Later in the afternoon
he crushed & glass vial he had in his pocket by
stamping upon it. and while eating supper
mixed the pounded glass with the food and swaI
lowed it. About hour later Tiller reported
the matter to one of the Jail guards and Dr.
Dorsett, dispenSary physician was Immediately
summoned, who gave AlcFadden a strong emetic
but he vomited no glass. showing the food had
been digested. He is still in Jail, and at last ac
counts was not suffering but DR.. Dorset says
inflammation of the bowels will probably set in to-
morrow and prove fatal This act is regarded as
deliberate attempt at suicide, and is considered
complete evidence of his connection with the
robbery

Obsidian Black Glass.

A chemist of this city is said to have rediseov-
cred the lost art of making articles from obsid-
IAN q species of volcanic glass, among them
black mirrors, which are used in the making of
astronomical instruments. His attention was
first directed to the subject in 1879 while on a
visit 10 Pompeii Here he found fragment of a
statue IAN ARM made from obsidian, and its
evident knship to the lava, there SO abundant
led him to think it might have been made there
from. Bringing away with him his trophy and
q quantity of lava, he began an investigation and
a series of experiments which finally led him to
a knowledge, not only of the component ele-
ments of obsidiau, but also as to
how it might be reproduced by artificial
means. His first successful melt
was made in this city, in the latter part of 1881.
He made number of ornamental articles and
and several slabs of the new glass, went to New
York city and set up small furnace for It's man
ufaeture. He one day visited well known
manufacturers of optical lenses Mr.. Weiskopf,
and asked what he would charge for polishing u
slab of it. Mr. Weikopf wanted to know what
it was and when he got the information CURLY

the terms were accepted and day was named
when the work would be completed When he
called for it, Mr. Weiskopfs brusque manner was
