Rogers was forced 10 give up.
AT the muzzle Of pistols they com
peeled him TO open the safe, emptying
the contents of il into n bag. The ex-
press company SAYS the robbers only
got $500. The robbers then marched
Rogers and the baggagemaster INTO the
mail car and made the postal clerk

The robbers pulled the bell cord rs

Overdose OF which lie Had swallowed
Death soon Claimed Him.
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 3.-About 3
o'clock yesterday morning Lieut.. Fred
erick Schwatka, the famous Arctic ex-
plorcr, was picked up on First street in
an unconscious condition. Reside him
lay n bottle OF laudanum. A patrol
wagon was called and he was removed
to the police station whore he soon
died. 1t was undoubtedly a ease OF sui
eide.
Sclfwstka was born Mt Galena, H.,
September rs, lsi9, and graduated from
West Point military academy when %
years Of age. He served against the
Indians in Arizona for awhile; studied
law and was admitted To practice in
Nebraska in 1875 and graduated from a
medical college in New York n year
later.
Lieut.. Schwatka had been suffering
from a complication of troubles and
had shown symptoms of apopleNy on
numerous occasions. His stomach had
! given him much trouble. and for the
purpose OF relief he had used small
quantities of laudanum. usually from
ten to twenty drops. Tuesday evening
his stomach trouble came On viii
such severity that he complained
bitterly. He went into a drug
store and asked for two ounces OF
laudnaum. The clerk did not recog-
nize the lieutenant. and asked him II
he had a prescription. He replied he
had not. but as he was a graduate al
Bellevue college he could soon write
one. The clerk replied that that was
not necessary brit gave Lieut.. Schwatka
the drug and registered the transac'
ton. He talked about his ailment but
otherwise appeared in excellent spirits
The city physician says:
II will hold a post mortem examina

death. 1t is possible that Schwartz;
took an overdose of the drug by mis-

Tho Cause OF tho Alpine Disaster which
Overwheime u Part Of ~. Gervais.

VNtIN " -
The biologists who have investigated
the cause Of the great disaster which
overwhelmed n part of st. Gervais,
Switzerland. with ice ana water from
The lower part Of the Bionassy glacier,
have solved the mystery. Up the side
Of the mountain, at the foot oil the
steep glacial wall whose lower part
broke away. the explorers found IN the
ice an oval cavern about 30 feet IN
width and - feet in height. In the m
terror Of the cavern vas q corridor COW
cred with blocks Of ice and leading into
a gigantic basin with perpendicular
walls of ice. IL was 4, feet long, aoo
feet wide and l4O feet high. In tins
great cavity there had been an mira
glacial lake of whose existence no one
had been aware. The condition OF the
walls proved that the cavity had been
full OF water recently.
The existence of this great reservoir
of unfrozcn water incloscd on all sides
EXPLAINS the naturc Of the immense
avalanche that overwhelmed the valley
below. The excessive heat of the days
before the disaster had probably IN
creased the quantity Of water in the
natural reservoir, ana the greater pres
sure broke the front wall, cracking
away the lower part of the glacier. and
permitting the immense volume of wa
ter To pour down the mountain into the
valley below. carrying with IT the
broken foot Of the glacier. The water
and ice fell a distance Of 1000 feet
down an Inclined plane two miles long,
and n part of st. Gervais had been over
whclned almost before anyone heard
the roar Of the approaching deluge.
This * the only accident due to such
a remarkable cause ever known in the
Alps. 1t has been followed. however,
by a somewhat similar accident at tbs
Misaun glacier near Pontresina. aeon
siderable part Of this short, steep gla
cier fell. and although there was ne
loss Of life. the accident draws atten
ton to the fact that all over the Alp
climbers have recently noticed q swell
ing Of the upper SHOWS which feed tn
glaciers. They report that not a few
of these glaciers have been impassabl
without great risk this season, and tina
the upper edges of the great crevasse
have overhung in a .nmarkablc man
ner. These facts p,'r to an expansion
of the upper snow field by great heat
