ROBBED OF RELICS.
Masked Burglars steal VaIuabIes
Worth Thousands of DoIIars

TARRYTowN, Y. Y, Jan. GA gang
of six masked burglars robbed three houses
in North TarrytOwn last night. Their
most successful raid was upon the house of
the widow of Gen. Henry Storms. The
only persons in the house were Mrs. Storms
and another lady. The burglars terrified
them with threats of instant death. and al
most smothered Mrs. Storms with a pillow.
They then ransacked the house, and carried
away everything they could lay hands on.
They carried away the service of silver
plate weighing 800 ounces, which was pre-
sented by the brigade of cavalry to
their commander, Gen. Storms. besides
other articles of high value to the family as
relics. These include pair of candle
sticks, very massive, which were brought to
this country just after the close OF the war
of Independence, and a silver-hilted sword
which Gen. Scott carried at the battle OF
Lundy's Lane. They also took another
silver-hilted sword, set with gems, which
once belonged to Gen. Marsena. and was
used by him in the Italian campaigns,
christening cups of silver, apostles spoons,
and all the accumulated sllverware OF three
generations. The burglars, In addition ia
the above, took all the money and family
iewelry they could find; lot of bric-
a-brac and antique cut glassware. The
property stolen was valued at many thou
sands of dollars. The thieves made a clean
sweep and 1t Is feared they took without
examination and may destroy many Curl
Gus relics of no intrinsic value, which wers
stored with other articles, that may be
melted into bullion. The other honses
entered were those of James s. See and ri
+. Lumbard. In the former they assaulted
Judge See and secured his watch and many
other valuables. From the latter they took
large quantity of silverware. Every
effort IS being made to capture the robbers.

TIE WAREHOUSE LAW.

The farmers up in the neighbOrhood of
Battle Lake are evidently in earnest in a
demand for an extra session of the legisla =
ture. The resolutions adopted by their al
lance yesterday. tell in language which can
not be misunderstood the reasons why the
governor should call an extra session. IL
fact, the proceedings of the meeting at
Battle Lake develop some interesting feat
ures regarding this matter For instance,
the representative from that county says
that he had a letter from the governor stat
ing that lie would call an extra session i'm
case the warehouse commissioners requested
it. When pinned down to it yesterday by
the Battle Lake farmers, the commission
ers admitted that the law was defective
and that they did not want to see another
wheat crop gathered without change in
the law. And yet they are too modest to
request the governor to convene the legisla-
ture for the purpose OF effecting a change in
the law. Modesty Is most charming
quality, but there are times when 1t should
be q discerning grace. And one of the
times is when a public official is charged
with the high duty of protecting the public
interest 1t will be observed that the mill
ers and the railroads are not too modest to
take advantage Of the defects in the law to
nullify the spirit of it and to set the COM
missioners at defiance. If the people
can't be sufficiently protected by the
law with its existing provisions,
then the commissioners might be

The Knife and pistol

LONDON, Jan. 22.-If the National
League is proclaimed in Ireland the central
executive Of the organization will be located
in England. The st. James Gazette says
it is known that there is a resolute body of
men behind the more peaceable members
OF the Irish National League, who are de
termined TO resort to violence unless the de
mands of the Parnellite party are conceded
by parliament. 1t is also known, says the
Gazette, that among the Irish members of
the house of commons there are several EN-
plOyes of O'DOnOvan Rosa. The govern
ment is aware that miscreants have elahora-
ted plans TO perform deeds of violence, and
that they have selected a particular part of
England in which to ply the knife and the
pistol, discarding dynamite. which the al
legged plotters regard as q laundering me-
dunn.

The Judge Decides No Case Has
Been Made Against Him.


Been Made Against Him.
SPECIAL to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-The arguments on
the motion in the Board of Trade Telegraph
case were concluded to-day before Judge
Moran, who in very few words decided
that no case had been made by Directors
Ball and Brega, and denied the relief asked.
Messrs. Ball IL Brega sought to have Edward
5. Stokes enjoined from voting 3s7 shares of
stock which he holds at the stockholders
annual meeting at the Grand Pacific to-
morrow. They set up as their ground for
the request that Stokes had come into pos
session of the stock irregularly, the secre-
tary of the company having failed TO insert
presumption clause in the certificates and
the board of directors having had no time
to pre-empt the stock. II was agreed that
Mr.. Brega represented majority of the
holders of the stock outside of
shares held by Stokes, and that
when Stokes secured his shares there
was an operative provision in the bylaws
not having ever been used, sales of stock
being regarded as Out-and-Out. absolute
sales, that there seemed TO be no objection
on the part of Ball and Brega to the
stocks being voted, only an objection to
Stokes voting it. and that whatever may
have been the mistake of the company's
secretary, the company had never intimated
before Stokes purchase that it desired to
pre-empt and Stokes was therefore not TO
blame for somebody else's oversight.

the streets tonight that the Chicago, st.
Paul. Minneapolis 81 Omaha railroad has
bought the Ohio Coal company's dock. val
ued at about $3.50, 900. Nothing definite
can be found out here. but what lends color
to the report is that it has been understood
that the Ohio Coal company has wanted to
sell its property here for some time, and
to-day the Chicago, st. Paul. Minneapolis
& Omaha company commenced building a
spur track, running from their main track
into the focal company's dock. If this sale
has been made, it will be the largest of the
kind that has ever taken place here, and
will give the Omaha company the finest
piece of dock property in Duluth. which,
besides giving them large coal dock. leaves
plenty room to build four large warehouses
and elevators.
