Topeka, July 5.-Last night about 10
o'clock grasshoppers stopped the Rock
Island passenger train east of Limon
Junction, in Colorado, and about fifty
miles west of the Kansas state line.
They covered the track for distance of
five miles and the wheels of the engine
rolled helplessly. Another engine was
procured at Limon which pushed the
train through the five-mile column, TAX
ing. two hours to accomplish this, even
with two engines. These grasshoppers
have been Matching out for two weeks,
and are not yet matured enough to
rise. Fears are entertained that they
will be able to rise before the corn is
hard enough to be safe and be blown
into this state by northwest winds
from the mountains. They were in such
quantities they covered rails. 1t is not
known how much territory they extend
over.

Bold Diamond Robbery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. July Sc. Wig
gers, one of the leading jewelers. in this
city, was robbed of diamonds valued at
$4,000 by an unknown man. The rob-
berry was very bold one, and although
it was committed in daylight when the
street on which Mr.. Wiggers' store is
located, was crowded with people. the
robber quietly walked away and disap-
peared before Mr.. Wiggers discovered
his loss. While Dr. Wiggers and his
colored porter were alone in the store,
the two clerks being absent at dinner, q
young man walked in. called for and OBJ
tained q watch which he had left to be
repaired about an hour before. He re-
quested Mr.. Wiggers to show him some
silverware, and was conducted to the
year Of the store, where he examined the
stock but made no purchases. He then
walked out of the store. Mr.. Wiggers
soon afterward found thata jewelry tray
had been taken out of a showcase and
placed on the floor. The tray
was one in which the diamonds were
displayed, and the entire lot, valued at
SO, 900, was gone. The tray contained
cluster and solitaire diamond rings, ear
rings and studs. Mr.. Wiggers made a
hasty search, but could not find the
young man who had asked to be shown
the silverware. Mr.. Wiggers thinks
the man was a confederate of the
one who committed the robbery, and
that they had planned for one to in
speot the silverware while the other
slipped into the store, removed the dia-
monds and left before the other man
had finished his inspection of the goods
in the rear Of the store. The police were
quickly notified, and officers were sent
in every direction in search of the two
men. This is the first big diamond rob.
berry committed here since 1876 or. 1877,
when two men worked the same game in
the store of Oates q Pohlman, and Sc
cured diamonds valued at $40, 600. They
were afterward arrested in distant
state, brought back here and given a
long term in the penitentiary.
