WANTS THE HOG IN GERMANY.
Armour Trying to Raise The Embargo on
Our POrkGrS.
PROPOSITION SAID TO Be PENDING.
What is Supposed VIII be the Next Step
After the Toileston Yards In
corporation.

CHICAGO, July 2s.-Speaking Of the incor-
poration Of the Tolleston Stock Yards Com
pany in New Jersey The Journal" says;
The key to the riddle will DO found when
the object of Mr.. Armours visit TO Germany
becomes known. That gentleman, who osten-
,ibly left on his vacation, has it is claimed,
been in constant Communication with the
German officials relative TO the raising Of the
embargo on tho American hog. Although
the information cannot be considered official
unless coming directly from Mr.. Armour still
it comes through man who is close TO him.
In his negotiations with the German
officials Mr.. Armour has agreed, 1t il claimed.
10 do the following Provided the embargo is
raised he will first of all. establish plant at
Tolleston, Ind. which for point of cleanliness
cannot be excelled anywhere Secondly, he
will pay the salary of an inspector:
10 be stationed at the yards. and
To- be appointed by the German Gov
eminent. Thirdly. in order that there
can be no chance Of contamination, he will
ship the hog products 10 Germany in special
line of steel vessels In order 10 do this 10
be necessary TO widen the Weland cansl or
some other such communication with tue sea-
board
Mr.. Armour asserts that the money for
such q project would be forthcoming imme-
diately upon the raising of the embargo on
the American hog.
1t is understood, contrary TO all reports, that
the report of the stock yards inspector lately
sent over by Germany was against the posi-
bility of perfect cleanliness from the stand
point Of the German Secretary so long as the
yards remain as they are.
Such a great trade as would be built up by
these means would require an immense
plant of its own, and would there
place without absolutely uullifying the use or
the present necessity for the original site. In
other words. tine new site could, in q great
sense. be used for the preparation of the pro-
duct for export and the old one still maintain
lis Importance because of the growing de-
mand for homo consumption

FARMvILLE, Va, July 2s.-[Special. There
were three robberies-at S. w. Paulette's to-
bacco factory, Gillian d Dunnngtons to-
bacco factory and the postoffice-in town last
night Persons living in the vicinity Of the
pOstoffice were awakened about 2 o'clock by
an explosion and 4 crash of falling glass,
which caused them to go 70 their windows to
see what was the matter. when they heard
swearing and the trampllng OF feet upon glass.
Some of the men ran down to the street and
found two of the big window-g glasses Of the
pOstOffice broken, the door alar and the tunes
Of powder or dynamite III the air.
Knowing that something was wrong one OF
the men went for the postmaster, MIR. ,. Is.
Mckinney, who came down IN all possible
haste and found that the street door had been
forced open. the room filed with powder or
dynamite smoke. the safe badly blown up.
hole having been drilled from the top and the
door blown off. about one hundred and
twenty-five dollars gone, and eleven dollars
and eighty cents IN change with registered
letters scattered around over the floor. Mr..
Mckinney next examined his dry-goods store,
which is connected with the postotfice by an
inner door. and found his cash drawer lock was
picked The burglars did not disturb large
safe. containing eight hundred dollars worth
Of stamps in the Office. nor the daily money
drawer. though they may have known that no
money of any consequence was left in there
after closing hours.
The robbers forced open the door Of Mr..
paulettes factory and opened the safe with
out the use Of any explosive and took about
hundred dollars
They got through the window Of Gillian Il
Dunnington's factory and attempted TO open
the safe, but did not II could not do so, how
ever, if they had there was not more than ten
dollars in it.
Evidently these TWO robberes were ac-
complished before that of the postotiice, and
Gillian & Dunnington's safe was not finished
because they were afraid daylight might
overtake them before they could finish the
postofice Job. Several persons who were
awakened by the noise saw them standing
at the postofice, and in fact, spoke 70 them.
but thought that they were some Of the boys
around town. II is not known how many
men we're in tho gang. but two rather sus-
picious men have been noticed about town
ever since Saturday who are thought TO be
the leaders One WAS about five feet SIX

Of his performances there a committee Of

Cured. by which one hundred and twenty
