The Lehigh Victorious,

A despatch of last evening says that the
striking employees of the Lehigh railroad
accepted the terms offered by the company
and applied for work yesterday morning
About one-quarter of the men were given
places and the names and addresses of the
others were taken. None of the non-union
men who were hired when the old hands
struck were discharged to make places for
strikers. The strike has ended in a COM
plete victory for the railroad, and the men,
who were led to believe that they had won,
admit their defeat.

An Ohio farmer writing to the Amer
lean Agriculturist, says: On the barn
floor placed thirty-six gallon kettle
filed half full of rye. A plank six feet
long led from the floor to the top OF the
kettle. The rye was left in the kettle
for about fortnight. until the rats
had become thoroughly familiar with
the kettle and were making it the head
quarters for their nightly revels with
seeming confidence that no harm was
intended. when, very treacherously one
evening. water was substituted for the
grain. and half-inch of chaff from the
barn floor concealed the water The
result was that twenty-one drowned
rats were forked out the first morning
and sixty-two within week. and
utter that no rats were seen for year.

At the recent Worlds Fair the exami-

of the tests of the baking powders

boldcSt robbery in the annals 81 crime
In Indiana was committed to-day about
noon. the victim being the South Bend
national bank. one OF the leading bank
ing concerns of the state. The amount
taken was $4,000. No clew 10 the
identity Of the robbers has yet come TO
light, and they seem to have made
good their escape. From the manner
in which the details OF the theft were
carried out. it Is certain that it was en-
ginccrcd by gang Of experienced
criminals. who have been for some
time shadowng the bank ana It's Off
GERS, and had been thoroughly con
versant with their business habits.
The south Bend national bank is lo-

shortly before noon. while Cashier
Campbell was absent at dinner, AS
sistant Cashier Kelly. who resides in
the rear of the building, was called TO
his front door by man who said he
wanted to see him on some business.
just about this time a man approached
the bank building on the north and
effected an entrance to the directors
room. prying open the window sash
with a steel chisel. He then forced a
heavy oak door and was in front Of the
vault. The outer vault door was open
but Il two-inch middle door had been
closed by Cashier Campbell. This
yielded readily, the combination hav-
ing for some reason failed 10 work. and
before the robber stood the counter
tray containing between 5000 and
\ 5000 In the safe pile of $4,000 in
\ gold and many thousand in grcenback'
was arranged on shelves.
The prime idea seemed TO he 10 take
as much as possible Of the money il
sight without arousing suspicion be
fore the robbers had had plenty o
time TO make good their escape. Fo
this reason the counter tray with IL
loose thousands was left undisturbcd
the robber combining his theft to tn,
safe. from which he took - 900 in vel
low coin, about all he could carry. nns
sll 900 in bills. No silver coin wa
touched. The vault was then closed
and the robbcr made his escape b,
means of a back door before Assistan
Cashier Kelly had again passed through
the building
1t is probable that but one man en-
tered the bank, he being protected b.
outside guards who could easily hav
been placed where they could watc
closely through the large plate glas
windows the movement Of any one in
side the building without attractin
attention to themselves.
The money was not missed until som
time after Cashier Campbell returne
from dinner, and then information q
the theft was suppressed for some tim
in the hope that some clew to the rob
bers might he discovered.
