Must Stay in Prison.

Si)ecldl 10 the GlOpe-
CLEVELAND, o., Feb. 16. - When
Mrs. Josephine Ammon, the wealthy
Euclid avenue lady, was committed to
the county Jail for contempt of court in
refusing to reveal the whereabouts of
the heiress Josephine Biann, she based
her hopes af release OH the fact that
Probate Judge Tilden was soon to va
cate the office, and that his successor,
Judge White, would remove the OBJ
noXiouS guardian and thus permit her
70 open her lips. To-day Judge White
decided that Miss Blann must be pro-
duced in court before any steps can be
taken for the changing of guardians.
This means that plucky Mrs. Ammon
must remain prisoner in the county
Jail until she chooses TO change her bar
ren quarters there for her luxurious
home on the avenue by answering the
questions of the court as to the hiding
place of the missing heiresS, or, which
would amount to the same thing, pro-
ducing the young girl i'll court. Mrs.
AmmOn declares that she will never do
this, and SO far she has withstood the
entreatieS of her family friends and
LAWYERS combined

WORRIES THE CANAL MEN
Northwest Grain to Get Into New
York Over the Canadian Pa

Northwest Grain to Get Into New
York Over the Canadian Pa
cific.
ALBANY, y. Y, Feb. 16.-The senate
heard great deal yesterday about the
plans of the Canadian Pacific Railway
company to establish a branch to New
York city. From the talk of the sena-
tors it was plain that network of rail-
ways has been surveyed in the northern
part of the state. Buffalo, also, it would
seem, is afraid that part of her great
grain trade is in danger of being di-
verified to New York and Boston by
these railroad schemes, and it is re-
solved to fight them. The debate was
brought on by bill of Senator Erwin.
authorizing the Schenectady & Ogdens-
burg Railroad company ito purchase,
own, hire and operate floats propelled
by steam, bargeS and boats in convey
ance of railroad cars, passengers and
freight in the traffic business of its
railroad" Mr.. Erwin explained to the
senate that the coming spring the con-
struction of railway to be known as
the Schenectady d OgdenSburg would be
begun. When it was finished it would
run from Schenectady in the Mohawk
valley, to Ogdensburg, on the st. Law
renee river. The company desired the
right to buy floats for the conveyance
of freight and passenger cars across the
st. Lawrence river from Ogdensburg to
Prescott. At Prescott it is expected
to get many passengers and
good deal of freight from the Canadian
Pacific. Reaching Schenectady the pas
sengers and freight would go over the
lines of the New York Central railway
into New York. Mr.. Laughlin thought
he saw in the bill an attempt to grasp
some of Buffalo's vast grain trade with
the West. The bill as he read it gave
the Schenectady Il Ogdensburg right
to buy lake prOpellerS. These propel-
from Chicago to Duluth through the
great lakes and the Welland canal to
the st. Lawrence river and thence to
OgdenSburg. Thus grain would pass
by the port of Buffalo and would not be
sent over the states canals. The bill
therefore was inimical to the inter-
eStS of the Erie canal. In concluding
his speech Mr.. Laughlin moved that MIR.
ErWln's bill should be recommitted to
the railroad committee in order that
residents of Buffalo and other canal
men might be heard in opposition to it.
Mr.. Erwin resisted the adoption of the
resolution ana expressed the opinion
that Buffalo had better reduce the
charges of her elevators before she I'M
dertOok to criticise other people. He
denied that the Schenectady d. Ogdens-
burg railway intended to run prOpellers
on the lakes. This right, he said, was
now possessed by the Lake Champlain
IL Ogdensburg, and they did not find it
a profitable business. After several
senators had expressed desire to look
over the bill, Mr.. Erwin consented to
action upon it being postponed for two
weeks. Meanwhile the opponents of
the bill will be heard upon it.

BANK ROBBERS.
A Bold Bank Robbery in a Vii
Iage in Texas.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. ia special saws
that the city of Cisco, Texas, was thrown
into excitement by bold bank robbery
at about O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
At that hour c. c. LeveauX, cashier,
and L. r. Blake and NJ. 3. Owens were
in the bank, when man appeared at
the cashiers window and demanded the
banks cash. Three other men appeared
at the same time and took the three
bankers in charge, while the first col
lected the funds of the bank, about
$4,000 in cash. Mr.. LeveauX's move
mentS were too slow to suit the robbers.
when ordered around, and he was
severely beaten on the head. The rob-
bers locked the bankers in yard back
of the bank building, and jumping into
wagon fled down the street, saluting
the astonished people with volleys from
their revolvers and displaying the bags
of ill-gotten gain. The cashier was the
first to free himself, and rushed into the
street, explaining the cause of the
racket. In short time Marshal Thomas
and posse were in pursuit. The men
were unmasked and an accurate descrp-
ton is given, from which the authorities
think they know the men.
