CLEVER CRACKSMEN

Robbers Evidently On n Hurry, az
They Leave $4,000 Lying
Around LOOse.
SALEM, ILL, February 14.-The greatest
excitement prevails here over the robbery
of the National bank last night. The
cracksmen got in the neighborhood of S25,-
600 in cash and seen rites. The vault of
the bank in which the safe is located was
thought to be secure, but it looks as though
the robbers found little trouble in breaking
into it. The safe proper was "cracked" In
the old-fashioned way, by the drilling Of
holes and the use of gunpowder and fuse.
The safe was badly wrecked. The money
taken was mostly in bills. The robbers
must have been in a great hurry, as they
left quantity of gold pieces scattered on
the floor of the vault and overlooked at
least SIC, 900 in currency and securities.
All was confusion at the bank this morn
ing, with the bursted safe and shattered
vault, papers, checks, etc., scattered about and
hundreds of depositors demanding admls-
sion to ascertain the amount taken by the
robbers. A notice sent out bv President
Martin and Cashier Marshal was posted on
the bank windows and the announcement
that the loss in cash would not exceed $10,-
900 and that the bank would be opened for
business had the effect of dispensing the
crowds.
Officers are now securing the country for
the robbers, but they and the bank officials
are all at sea as to the identity of the crimi-
nails. 1t is generally conceded that the job
was done by expert cracksmen.

DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.

MIR. Carnahan's Views ON the Indifference
Shown Mr.. Carnegie's Proposition BY
Common COuncil-Site suggesters Prov
ing to be the Bane of His Existence.
During a conversation with Mr.. Carnahan,
last evening, in reference to library and
other matters, the worthy gentleman took
occasion to remark that he felt disappointed
at the manner in which the Carnegie PROPOSE
ton had, or rather had not. been received by
Common Council. Mr.. Carnahan said:,
cannot conceive how the members of that
Dody can treat Mr.. Carnegies magnificent
prOHer with so much indifference. 1t seems to
me tnat more respect would have been
SHOWN the gentleman If they had met
and refused the gift. but to coolly absent them
selves in such numbers that a quorum
could not be found is simply scandalous. The
worst feature of the matter is that there is very
little Likelihood of meeting next Monday on
account OF the election taking place the next
DAY: hardly dare imagine what Mr.. Car
negie's feelings must be. am certain that he
must suffer some disappointment at the want
Oh respect shown him.
It there is any one in this vicinity tired
OF life, let that particular person go out to
Mr.. Carnahan's house and suggest library
site. When Interrogated in reference to one
proposed yesterday he looked wrathfully at
@1AS AAoEA1Oh representative OfSE
spectacles, and after long pause answered
the question with one in return:
Is that the latest? Are you quite sure that is
the very latest? l ask the question because
everyone meet has new one to propose; and
that before there is any reason whatever for
suggesting site. Why, my dear sir, inasmuch
as Councils have not as yet determined on the
matter, and that no idea or plan of building
has been thought of or considered, what's the
use of site until you know what you are going
to put on it. Yet. it seems that everyone that
Is able to read or has heard of the library has a
site to propose, and in most cases that site is
In mis- immediate vicinity. My life is pestered
out OF me with people who have sites to pro-
pose. They haunt me in the Office and they
call on me at my house at all hours of the day
and night: in fact every man who has back
yard thinks the library ought to be located on
1t. Goodness only knows 1 am sorry have
ever had anything to do with it, as have had
but little rest since the thing was proposed
Some OF the Lawrenceville people are
coming forward with suggestions. Among
the more notable may be mentioned the
Arsenal grounds; the site of the st. Johns
Episcopal Church, which, it is said, can be
purchased at reasonable figure; tract of
vacant land belonging to DR.. G. G. Clarke, at
the corner of Forty-fourth and Butler streets,
who, it is rumored, would make a donation
of 1t, and many others too numerous to
mention.

A HOLE IN THE SURPLUS.
The Deficiency in the Pension Department
Amounts TO S21, 500, ,OOO-work of
Preparing the Urgency Ap.
DroprIatIo7 Bill,

WASHINGTON, February 14.-The prep
aration of an urgent deficiency appropria-
ton bill has been begun by the House Com
mlttee on Appropriations. The largest item
In this deficiency bill will be about $21, $780,
OOO on account of pensions. This large def
cheney, however, does not indicate such a
great increase in expenditures for pensions
as would seem to be apparent on the face of
the statement, the expenditures for the year
ending July next, being, with this def
cheney appropriation included, about $97,-
OOO, 900 against $95, 900. 900 last year.
-, After the appropriations for pensions for
the present fiscal year had been made on
the basis of the regular appropriation for
the previous year, it was found necessary to
make deficiency appropriation of about
y, 600 Tor the previous year. Subse-
quently, it was found that even with this
deficiency appropriation the expenditures
would exceed the appropriation.
The Commissioner of Pensions, waiting
until the present fiscal year had begun, drew
on the appropriation for the fiscal year be-
ginning for almost 81, 900, 900 to paw pension
claims accruing during the previous year,
the effect being really to lessen the appro.
priation for the present fiscal year by an
amount approximating $1,000, 900.

WASHINGTON, February 14.-An au-

patches some time ago with regard to the
Gubernatorial candidacy of Congressman
Osborne, which included a denial of the
rumors that he proposed to run as an inde-
pendent candidate in the event of
the State Convention nominating some
other candidate. Since then these
rumors have been repeated IN an irresponsi-
BILE way, and to-day Mr.. Osborne was asked
by The DISPATCH correspondent whether
he had changed his mind on this point. In
reply, he said: "The only Pittsburg news

nYrorAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1sPArozi

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, February IA
Right upon the declsimer OF any political
outrages in this State by Florida's Senators,
comes the news of murder most foul upon
the person of United States Deputy Mar
shal, W. B. Saunders, who was killed at
Quincy last night, Wednesday United
States Marshal j. r. Mizell and Deputy
Marshal Langford left this city for Quincy,
where they met Deputy United States Mar
shal W. B. Saunders, who had come there
from Dsfuniak Springs, his home. They
were there to serve subpenas upon jurors
and witnesses to attend the next term Of the
United States Court at Tallahassee, which
conTenes on the 9th instant, anu also to ar
rest negro for violation of the postal laws.
A FATAL RIDE.
While at The hotel, it is said, W. NJ. Nc
Farland and a man named Mitchell called
upon the officials, and in a pleasant and
joVial manner conversed and drank beer to-
gether at the invitation OF the two citizens.
About 2 o'clock Mcfarland and Mitchell
and another gentleman invited the officials
to take ride out to the tobacco farms.
Marshal Mizell bad taken a ride with an
old citizen and did not go, as he was sus-
pieious that threats had been made, but
Saunders did, with Mitchell and McFar-
land. In about an hour after $3.50 P. M. ,
Mitchell returned with Saunders dead
body. He mad been shot just below the
right ear through the heal. The body was
placed in the Court House and Mitchell was
arrested. Mcfarland had not been found
up to dark.
No explanation of the murder was made
so far as our informant knew. An inquest
was to be held this morning. Colonel j. W.
Malone invited the two other officials to his
residence, where they took supper, and by
advice of friends they lett for Jacksonville
at P. M, arriving here this morning.
THE PROBABLE CAUSE
During the Farmers Alliance meeting
here, about month ago, Mcfarland was in
Jacksonville, and was arrested by Saunders
on a charge OF conspiracy and held in s., 900
bail for appearance. This is said to have
made Mcfarland very angry at the time.
The conspiracy is said to have consisted OF
an attempt to prevent Saunders at one time
from executing legal process IN Gadsden
county. Saunders leaves a wife and
two children at Defuniak, where he
had resided for number of years. He was
a member of the last Legislature, being
elected as a Republican from Walton coun-
tY He was aggressive and brave, and at
times imprudent in talk, though a good
official. He was 80 years OF age, 6 feet 2
inches high, weighing 200 pounds, well pro-
portioned and apparently man Of much
strength. -
His body will be sent to his home for
burial. Marshal MIzell is much affected
by the tragedy, and has little to say. He
wired full report of the murder to the At
torney General, and it is expected thorough
steps will be taken to bring the perpetrators
to Justice.

There is nothing to be gained by such a pro-
