No Clew TO the Thieves.
a BANKS HEAVY LOSS.

LONDON, Sept %. The banking
world of this city has just been startled
by the announcement that an important
bank robbery has taken place in the
city. The institution that has suffered
is the London and Westminster bank
Qimited), No. Al Lathbury, f. c.,
an important establishment having
over fifteen branch houses in this city
The money stolen, it would appear,
consisted of a large parcel of bills re-
mitted from the country banks to the
London and We minister bank. The
thief or thieves must have eleverly
watched for the proper opportunity
to accomplish the robbery and to have
gained access to an apartment
near the main entrance to the bank
This apartment was easy of access
from the street, and the parcel of bills
is supposed to have been stolen while
the bank officials were busily engaged
in another apartment in going over the
accounts of last weeks settlement.
Both Mr.. William Astle, the town
manager of the bank, and Mr.. Ill. +.
Bilinghurst, the country manager,
decline to make any statement for
publication as To the actual loss in
Cured by the London and Westmin-
ster bank, but it is currently reported the
amount stolen is not less than $3.50, 900,
and that it may amount to as much as
81, > $50 600. The bank officers, the city
police authorities and the criminal in
vestigation department of Scotland
Yard are putting forth the utmost ex-
ertions in order to effect the capture of
the thieves.
Notice of the robbery has been sent
to the police centers throughout the
British isles and on the continent, and
the sailing of every passenger vessel is
being watched Notice Of the robbery
has also been sent to all the banks upon
which the bills were drawn, but the
police theory is that no attempt viii be
made to change the bills in this coun-
try, but that the thieves will have re-
course to the continent, where the
presence of SO many wealthy travellers
from England and the United States
makes such transactions easier than in
this country.

About two years ago, after suffering

discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, ! saw by an advertise
ment in a Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM

Ayers Sarsaparilla. / then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased 10 state that it has effected a
complete cure. / have since had no re-
turn of the disease. Mrs. Il. Irving

"One year ago I was taken i'll with
infiammatory rheumatism, being con-
fined to my house six months. / came
out of the sickness very much debili-
tated, with no appetite, and my system
disordered in every way. l commenced
using Ayers Sarsaparilla and began to
improve at once, gaining in strength
and soon recovering my usual health.
l cannot say too much in praise of this
well-known medicine" - Mrs. l.. A.

we'll known plunger who is known
throughout the country as "Pittsburg
Phil" gave the ring at Sheepshead Bay
today A scoop" that will long be re-
membered by bookmakcrs. as it was the
heaviest blow dealt that fraternity in
many days. "Pittsburg Phil" had his
! colt. King Cadmus, entered in the Sap
phire stakes. which was the second event
on the card and was for two year olds
with twelve starters.
In betting Lew Weir. from the stable
of Ed Corrigan, was the popular selec-
ton, while King Cadmus, who had
opened at 20 to l, receded to 30 to |.
Then it was that Smiths commissioners
got in their fine work. Every one of the
ninety seven bookmakers on the line
were handed sums ranging from Sl5 to
500, and SO much was the colt despised
that the "bookies," whose limit is known
to be but so, took hundreds. Cadmus
won and right after the race the scene
in the ring was all commotion, the only
persons, perhaps, in the whole gathering
to retain their senses being "Pittsburg
Phil and his gallant lieutenants.
To them the race was no surprise and
they set about to collect their winnings
in manner that was exceedingly cool
1t is estimated that Smith is from 3d.
600 to $4,000 winner by his colts vic
tory. He backed him in the west as well
as at the track ard at good price
throughout. Taral got $1,000 for his
! riding.
