BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.
Burglars Attempt to Rob the Safe in
DIR. Stones Office.

A bold attempt at robbery was frustrated
yesterday forenoon through the presence of
mind of domestic in the employ of DR..
George H. Stone.
Between 10 and II o'clock six white men
called at the Office of DR.. Stone and inquired
for him. The servant was sweeping the
front office at the time. She replied that
the doctor was absent and would not be in
until about IL o'clock. They said that they
would wait for him and passed on through
the front room into the doctors private
Office. Directly one of them, complaining
that she was making too much dust, closed
the door between the two rooms. When
she finished busting and went to open the
closed door she found it had been fastened.
Going out and around on the other side
she looked in through a window and saw
Two OF the men examining the drawers III
the doctors private desk, while the other
four were kneeling down on the floor trying
to work the combination of the safe She
told them that the doctor did not permit
any one to disturb his SAFE and they replied
that 1t was all right, and that he knew
them, or words of that import. She again
repeated her caution, and they unlocked the
door, went out, and have not been heard
from since.
The servant said they were dressed in
country garb, and that one had a deep scar
on his face and finger was missing from
the hand of one of the others She would
be able to identify them, she said, if she
should see them again.

Masonic Hall.

Finding the Corner Stone of the Old
Masonic Hall.
The cornerstone of the old Masonic build
ing on President street was found yesterday
in the southeast angle of the basement wall.
1t is a block of limestone, and is about 10
by 10 inches In dimensions. with a hoeabout
three inches square in the center. 1t has no
inscription on it, and it was covered by a
slab of the same material 1t contained
only an old English half-penny and an
American cent. 1t showed no signs
of having been disturbed since
it was placed in position in
1899. Evidently the "brethrenn did not
want to bury anything valuable. The north
eastern angle of the basement wall had been
partly dug away That was done when the
brethren were searching for the corner
stone when they gave up the property thir-
ty years ago. Under the terms of the deed
of sale of the property by Solomon's Lodge,

time a clerk i'll the MORNING NEWS count

a case before the Court of Appeals at Louis

court for ten years. The case was decided
in his favor on Dec. II, two days prior to
Mr.. Jones' death. Last week the lawyers
for the defense applied to the court
to have the decision set aside
on the ground that Mr.. Jones
was dead at the time the decision was rem
dered, alleging that he died on Dec 10, 1886.
Mr.. Jones' lawyers sent to this city for evil
dence to prove that he died in 1887, as was
the case, and aflidavits were sent off yester-
day to that effect Mr.. Jones left only one

young lady, and it Is hoped that she will
have no further difficulty in getting what
her father SO stubbornly contended for dur
