INTERESTING RELICS.
The Tools Used in One of the Great Bank
Robberies of the Age.

Robberies of the Age.
Until recently there was stored in tho
big vault of a Dearborn street safe and
lock company set of burglar tools that
figured in one of the boldest attempts at
bank robbery that has been recorded
in many year.
About ten years ago fifteen expert
safe burglars conceived the grand plan
of robbing the Louisville National Bank
at Louisville, KY, and getting away
with about 1000, 600 in cold cash stored
away in the banks vaults. They went
about the hazardous undertaking syste'
matically and carefully. They had a
leader, trained e-blower, who had
cracked dozens of safes, and he occupied
a full month in laying plans, perfecting
means of escape, and preparing his tools
with which to open the avenues to the
golden treasure. Although there were
fifteen men in the gigantic conspiracy,
but five were to do the actual work, the
balance were to be on watch at different
points. The orders were to silence all
passers by or watchmen who discovered
any thing, but to do tho work with as
little noise as possible, using revolvers
only as last resort.
The burglars got to work about eleven
o'clock in the night, having captured two
watchmen, chloroformed them, and
slowed them quietly away in rear
alley, where two confederates watched
over them. 1t took two precious hours
before the daring men got into the
building, they being compelled to saw
through some immense window-bars.
About 1:30 in the morning they got at
the doors of the big vault, where paper
money, gold and specie, to the value OF
over 81, 900, 600 were stored. There were
about four inches of solid chilledsteel
to bore into before charge Of powder
could be successfully inserted and
touched off; but these men accomplished
all this, and at about four o'clock in the
morning there was a dull roar, the
building shook, and heavy piece of the
vault door flew off and crashed to the
floor. A golden stream flowed out OF
| the orifice, and the thieves crept back
to where the treasure was, and began
| filling the heavy canvas-bags they had
brought with them. They secured in
all about $4,000, this being all the
money within reach, the hole in the
vault door not being large enough to
| admit a man. When they had gathered
all that they could the intruders started
out. They were met at the point where
they entered by a half-dozen detectives
who captured the whole lot. At the
trial it developed that one of the burg
! lars was detective, who had learned OF
tho gangs robbing scheme, and had in
| gratiated himself with them, finally be-
coming one of the crowd. The com
! pany that furnished the vault that was
| blown open secured the tools the burg
| lars did their work with, and exhibited
| them as an advertisement in their bust
ness, the claim being made that with
the charge of powder the burglars use(
half the building ought to have beer
torn down, while in reality but com
paratively small piece of the vault dool
was wrecked. Chicago News.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER,
Body Of a Wealthy EngliShman Found
a Room Of a Hotel.

New YORK, Nov. 2.-The story of Ben
well, who was lured to this country from
his home in England and murdered snear
Niagara Falls by Reginald Birchall, says
the World, seems to have a parallel
in the murder of James Fl. Edgar, wealthy
but innocent old Englishman whose body
was found in room in the
Getty House at Yonk"rs last MoTday.
For four days the death of the old
gentleman was mystery. Why he uegis
tered under the name of Smith is hs.pI 10

murdered is positively declared by Perrin II.
Sumner, New York stock-dealer and real
estate speculator. All that is known
of the antecedents of the dead man is
told by Sumner. Sumner had many
financial dealings with Edgar and
has a wife and children living in London;
but | have not heard anything from them
yet" The mysterious disappearance of
James IL. Edgar's alleged nrphews is the
only thing against them thus far. but
that is enough to make their whereabouts
matter of no little interest to the authori-
ties. Summers career has been an interest
ing one. He is about so years old and was
in 1888 arrested in a civil suit brought
against him by Daniel M. Davidson
TO recover $4,000, which Davidson says
he obtained through fraudulent schemes
of Sumner in connection with the Index
Gold and Silver Mining Company
of Colorado, but lie was released after he
appeared for trial. Other charges of fraud
have since been made against him here and
in New Jersey. but his son Arthur says he

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
A Survey Of the Political
Situation.
Republican Belief That Protection Will
Win The Fight.
Progress OF the Campaign In The Various
StateS-Where Pronounced Gains Are
Likely to Be Made.
Special to THE MoRNINo CALL.

WASHINGTON. Nov. q Edward G.
UBrien, Assistant Secretary Of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, has received
letters from every section of the country
giving the political situation in the respective
STATES up to date. Mr.. O'BIien says: 1.-THE
next House will be Republican by from seven
to ten majority. We are not telling the dis
tricts in which we will make gains, but from
my reports will state that the Republicans
will gain largely in the North and West,
and our gains will be due to the Mckinley
Tariff Bill. Our most pronounced gains
will be in Indiana. We will greatly sur
prise the Democrats in that State.
THE FIGHT IN OHIO.
Then again we will get more in Ohio
than was intended we should have by the
gerrymander. You know at first it was
claimed by the Democrats that we could
only have five members out of twenty-one,
while Ohio is really Republican State.
But now the Democrats concede US, l be-
lieye, ten members. That in itself is Re-
publican victory The people of Ohio, ]
believe. will not sustain the unjust gerry
mander.
'We will have solid delegation from
Connecticut. We have three of the four
now. Ii we got all the Southern districts
that have Republican majorites then the
House would be Republican by at least
twenty-five majority In Illinois l don't
think We can make any gains, but we will
hold our own there.
IOWA AND NEW YORK.
"The Democrats have placed lots of money
in Iowa. but 1 don't think there is any
chance for the Democrats in that State.
The Republicans are liable to have big
surprise in New York, because Of the new
ballot law. Our greatest loss, however. will
be on account of patronage. The Repub-
licans will hold their own in Minnesota.
California and Montana, although Carter
has hard battle to fight. In fact, we will
not lose in any of the Western States.
Il talk thus confidently of success because
of reports received from Republicans on the
ground. OF course they may be prejudiced
and the reports sent me may show bias in
favor of the party, but on the assumption
that my information is correct, | say that the
next House will be Republican. Early in
the campaign, just after the adjournment of
Congress, the advance in prices had most
depressing effect on quite a number of Re
publicans, but they soon rallied as they saw
through the Democratic trick. / don't think
the people will be humbugged by the cry Of
Il igil pricas'o
