BOLD BANK ROBBERY


LONDON. February IA decided
sensation has been caused IN The city
to-day. a bank robbery was committed
in broad daylight. A StyliShly dressed
man accoSted in the National Provin-
cial Bank OF England, No. ll2 Bishop
gate, a clerk from the London branch oi
the Bank of Scotland. The clerk from
the last mentioned bank was standing
at the public counter of the National
Provincial bank IN the act OF making a
deposit OF money. When spoken TO by
the stranger the clerk turned toward
him and replied To his question. while
the conversation, which only lasted a
moment or so. was going on, man
who was evidently an accomplice Of the
stylish stranger Snatched from the
clerk wallet containing bonds and
checks representing many thousands Of
pounds and ran out Of the bank. He
has not been captured.
The two thieves who so cleyerly re-
lievcd Mckenzie, the clerk, OF the sat
chel containing Gll,l90 in Bank Of
England notes, are described 10y the
pOlltt dS uflUS uuu'-ilh' W th' ~
treme. They had the appearance Of
fashionable young men about town
who had plenty Of means aud leisure
The police officials who are inyeStigIt-
ing are Of the opinion that the two bank
sneakS are expert American thieves who
have watched Mckenzie for weeks.
The Bank OF England notes are easily
disposed. So that there is not much
chance Of the capture Of the thieves.
The police claim that this j. the big
gest haul" of money made by bank
thieves in generation.

DISASTROUS FLOOD OVERTIKES JOBNSTOwN
WITH TEE WATER STILL RISING.
Hundrsds Of People Driven From Their Homes By
The Advancing PlOOd-Al the Bridges But
One Have Been Swept Away-PsOpls
Fleeing 10 the High Grounds

JOHNsTowN, PA, February l6.-The
heavy rains OF last night aud this morn
ing have raised the Conemaugh and
Stony creek bank full.
Three bridges on the Conemangh. the
Point bridge, the Lincoln bridge and the
Woodvale bridge, gave way before the
vast quantity Of water hurled against
them, and were entirely destroyed.
A new bridge was ia course Of cree
tiOn on the site Of The old Lincoln
bridge, and the huge iron beams went
down with the old structure. The new
beams will likely be- found in the river
Il few rods below the bridge. The old
structures destroyed were erected short
ly after the flood.
The present food is the largest since
May 81, 1859. The rain is still pouring
down at an alarming rate.
LATER-The Cambria bridge is still
standing, but is liable TO go at any mo-
ment. All the wooden bridges on the
have gone, and the only
means of communication with the low
er part of the city and the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad is by the Cambria Iron Com
pany's railroad bridge. Traffic by wag-
on has been completely cut of. The
water is still rising, and Il disastrous
flood is imminent.

were brought to this city.
The members of the Stock Exchange
this afternoon voted unanimously to
