pany at their works at Emery's,
the next station beyond that where
the robbery took place. The roE-
berry had been planned with con-
summate skill and was executed
with daring that has seldom, if
ever, been equaled in the history
of traia-robbing in this country.
The desperadoes coldly faced
whole trainload of people and got
away without more than a scratch
and leaving behind no clue.
To Relieve Peary.
PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-The ar
rangements for the departure of a
party organized under the auspices
of the Academy Of Natural Scien-
ces, to search for Robert E. Peary
and his companions, who went to
Greenland year ago, are about
completed. The relief party will
sail from New York for St. Johns,
n. F., on the steamer Miranda,
June 18th. From st. Johns the
party will start for North Green
land July 18th on the sealing
steamer Kite, the same vessel which
left New York with the Peary peo-
pie one year ago. The relief party
is under the charge Of Professor
Angelo Hellprin, Curator of the
Academy of Natural Sciences at
Philadelphia, which institution
fitted out the Peary expedition,
and has recently raised by popular
subscription the sum of $4,000 to
send on relief party.
Chicago Swept by a Storm.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The city was
visited this afternoon by one of the
most severe storms in years. 1t
lasted only a short time, but two
persons are known to have been
killed, five or six fatally injured
| (the latter workingmen), many
painfully injured and much dam
age done to property. 1t is also
feared that three men seen on the
lake in rowboat before the storm
were drowned. The Wigwam, on
the lake front, in which the Dem
ocratic National Convention is to
be held, was badly wrecked.
The Chicago Convention.
New YORK, June 13.-One of
the New York delegates who has
kept careful roll of the delegates
to the Democratic National Con-
vention as they were chosen, finds
the result as follows: Total dele
gates, 1913 without Alaska and
Indian Territory necessary to a
choice under the two-thirds rule,
592. Cleveland has 453; Hill,
1856; Palmer, 48; Carlisle, As, and
Boies, 26. If the delegations vote
as unit Cleveland would have
577; Hill, 215. In this event
either the vote of Kentucky, Iowa
or Illinois would nominate Cleve-
land, unless South Carolina and
Virginia should cast AZ votes for
Hill. The latter is second choice
of many delegates, and the Hill
men figure if Cleveland is not
nominated on the first or second
ballot his chances are destroyed.
