MORE BROWN PAPER.
Disappearance of the Money
in Another Express
Package.
Twenty Five Thousand IN
Bills Changed Into Brown
Paper.
Evidences Show That the Rob-
berry Was Committed
En- Route.

GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. 30.-This
morning the same WelIs-Fargo express
which brought the bundle of brown
paper from Kountze Bros, New York,
to the Island City Savings bank, of this
city, last night, which robbers substi-
tuted for $4,000 good cash, brought a
similar package from the National Bank
of New York to Ball, Hutchings Co.,
which should have contained $4,000
A gentleman of this city who has
had years of experience in handling
bank parcels remarked today:
''If the express company received the
packages in the shape they reached
Galveston, the money must have been
taken en- route and the company
is therefore liable for its loss.
There is little probability that the
tampering with the package was done
at the New York bank. One-of the
packages had small hole burned in the
wrapper by hot wax, and this makes me
feel confident that the robbery was
committed outside of New York, be-
cause at this time of the year New
York banks have clerks who make up
money packages for cotton points, and If
the wrapper is mutilated, be it ever so
little, another one is put on. In my
opinion a most thorough investigation
of the entire route of the packages be-
tween New York and Galveston will
locate the thief
Consi9nOrs Lose Nothing.
New YORK, Nov. 30.-A dispatch was
received this morning by Kountze Bros,
bankers, from the officials of the Island
City Savings Bank of Galveston, Tex,
informing them of the loss of $4,000 in
currency shipped to the Galveston bank
by express from Kountze Bros. The
money, which was i'll bills of large
denomination, was shipped by the firm
in this city Nov. %. and while in
transit, the money disappeared and a
package OF brow paper cut in the shape
of bank bills was substituted. The
package had been carefully sealed up
again. The cashier of the banking firm
declined to advance any theory as TO the
manner in which the theft occurred or
whether any suspicion fell upon the
route agents or employees of the COM
pany. kountZe Bros. however, will
not lose anything by the theft.
A daring gang Of burglars visited the
little town of May Fair, six miles out on
the Northwestern road, between
O'Clock last night and O'clock this
morning and robbed the residences of
three well-kDOwn citizens, the poStof-
fee and the village tore. The total
amount of the robberieS, il is believed,
is in the neighbOrhood of $1,000. The
thieves used wagon to carry off their
plumber.

IN THE BIG WOODS.

Among the many stories of early days IN
the Northwest is every now and then one
which resembles the luck of Robinson CRU
soc. One is told by William G. Gates, Billy
Gates as he is Familiarity called by old
timers, who is the genial secretary of the st.
Paul board of trade.
when arrived in this vicinity. way back
in the SOS" says Mr.. Gates, ''as lucky lot
of people as ever saw were the many who
took up government claims in the big woods.
The big woods is thing of the past In
those days there was an immense forest
extending from st. Paul to Mankato and
from Mankaao in one direction nearly to
Dubuque, To-, and in another to the source
of the Minnesota river; it also extended
from point ways up that river to M1nne-
tonka and thence to st. Cloud and beyond.
TO give you an idea of the magnitude OF
these woods at point near Mankato IL was
thirty miles or more wide. 1t was not
dense forest like some of the Eastern or ex-
treme Western woods; but was full of broad
openings in which were the richest OF farm
ing lands They raised the finest wheat ever
seen in this country and sixty or more
bushels to the acre was common thing.
They also raised corn and hogs. The hogs
lived upon shack i'll the summer. In those
times shack was the name given to acorns,
hazelnuts, pignuts, etc. And of course
when the corn was gathered they were
fed upon that and fattened for the mar
ket In the winter time many of the
farmers devoted the time to cutting railway
ties, and between their summer harvest and
winter crop of railway ues:made themselves
rich. The farmers who had sons old enough
to work, and thus were supplied with more
help than they needed in the work of cutting
ties. went South and secured employment on
Southern Mississippi steamboats,. These gen
orally came back in the spring with Sl5O or
$500 cash saved from their wages. The big
woods was a paradise and many of the old
settlers made their fortunes in it. The set
tiers in other parts of the state were not so
fortunate, and many of them had very hard

Despite the recent popular repudia-
ton of its editor, the New York Tribune
still claims proud eminence as the lead
ing organ of the Republican party. The
following from its columns may there
fore be regarded as the official state.
ment of the Republican programme for
Wyoming:
IL now looks as though the Republicans
would control the Wyoming legislature and
return FRANCIS E. WARREN TO the United
States senate by a mandamus order from the
courts. A certificate of election was issued
to Republican candidate for the house of
representatives. although the Democrats
claimed that more votes had been cast for
his opponent In another county The Repub-
Icans will in all probability, throw out a
precinct on irregularity. and thus strengthen
their power in the legislature. The Repub-
licans have majority i'll the senate. and by
gaining the house they will be able 10 settle
all contests in short order.
This disgraceful confession indicates
clearly that statestealing is still the
consecrated purpose of the Republican
party. The notorious Montana steal is
to be repeated in Wyoming if it is a pos
and corrupt partisan courts are to be
used insenabling the Republican minor
lty to organize the lower house of the
legislature and ''settle all contests in
short order'' by unseating Democratic
members and putting Republican con-
testants in their places. Then WARREN
is TO be reelected to the United States
senate by this bogus legislature, just as
SANDERS and POWER were elected in
Montana.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
Tribune's premature exposure of the
plot will put Wyoming Democrats on
their guard and enable them to hold the
state they have honorably won at the
polls. Fraud and chicamery must not

CAUGHT ON A CROSSING.
Four Persons Terribly Mangled
by a Train,

by Train.
ELMIRA. n. Y, Nov. 3O.-One of the
most terrible railroad crossing acct
dents that has occurred here in years
took place at the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. crossing of the Erie at
II :O5 tonight. Five persons were
returning to their homes in the town of
Southport from the city in wagon.
They were William Conklin and wife,
Edward Blanchard and wife and Mrs.
Maggie Pitts. The crossing is danger
Gus one. The wagon was struck by the
Erie vestibuled train, running at high
rate of speed. The engineer says he
did not know that he had struck any
one, and the first known of the accident
by the trainmen was when the train
halted at the station, nearly half a
mile from the crossing. As it drew into
the station the locomotive bore on it's
pilot the CHASTITY remains of the three
crushed and mangled bodies. They
were those of Mr.. and Mrs. Blanchard
and Mrs. Conkling. The wagon was
scattered along in bits. The mangled
form of William Conkling and of Mr..
Pitts were picked up about 100
yards from the crossing. Mr.. Conkling
was still alive and was at once taken to
the hospital. All of the killed had their
heads crushed. There is great indigna-
ton here over the fact that RAILROAD
CROSSINGS in the heart of the city are not
guarded during the night.

LONG ISLAND CITY, l.. l., Nov. 3d.
The snow storm on Long Island is the
heaviest since the blizzard of 1883. the
fall being from eighteen inches to two
feet. Heavy drifts have formed in many
places, impeding the travel on the
roads. All trains on the Long
Island railroad are behind time. The
trains from Sag Harbor and Greenport
are missing. Nothing can be learned
of them because the wires are down all
over the island. The drifts are packed
hard, and it is likely that several hours
will elapSe before any OF the stalled
trains will be able to get through. Many
of the passengers on the Rokonkoma
and Central Park trains walked from
where the train was stalled to Hicksville
station. Snow plows have been sent out
to assist the stalled trains.

hood, but he failed to see Cam. The
