ROBBERS AT LOST CREEK.
A Freight House and Saloon visitei by
Thirsty Burglars.

A Freight House and Saloon Yisitei by
Thirsty Burglars.
Thieves with an appetite for strong
drink stole ten-gallon keg of black
berry brandy from the T.. V. r. r. freight
house, and a quarter barrel Of beer, box
of cigars and quart of whisky from the
saloon of Anthony Munley,in Lost Creek,
at an early hour yesterday morning. No
clue has been discovered to- the perpetra-
tors, but it is believed, as old Mr.. Munley
remarks, that they are not a hundred
miles away, nor hundred yards, either"
The freight house was fastened with a
Jail lock- Into this the burglars inserted
a sharp steel bar, which they struck with
a coupling pin, breaking the lock to bits
The method of entrance points to the in
truder as one acquainted with railroads.
Munley's place was entered through a
side door. "They rob me every new
mOon,' asserted the old man, "and gem
orally get in by cutting out a window
pane. They never take my money,
though" Investigation is being made by
Coal and Iron policemen.

concluded yesterday afternoon by ex-
Judge Rankin, counsel for Mr.. Thomp-
son. The committee then adjourned to

that gross frauds were practiced, but will
admit that the committee could not Sc
cure proof of Il sufficient nature of illegal
votes to overcome Thomuson's big major

IN SENATE AND HOUSE
The Free List Bits Referred to the SEN

The Free List Bits Referred to the sem
ate Finance Committee.
WAsHINGToN, Aug II. - The unex
pected generally occurs in the senate.
Yesterday a resumption Of the sensational
scenes of Wednesday over the disposition
of the four house free list bills placing
sugar, coal iron ore and barbed wire on
the free list was anticipated, but not a
word was spoken on the subject. Every
thing was rs calm as a May morning
After two hours spent in a rather inter
esting debate on a resolution of Mr.. Kyle,
the South Dakota Populist, to prohibit
the sale of liquor in the senate wing Of
the Capitol during the recess. and a reso-
luton of Mr. Call, of Florida, for sen
atorial trip by the committee on patents,
vote was taken without debate on Mr..
Harris motion to refer the sugar bill to
the finance committee, and it was so re-
ferred by vote of 30 to II An analysis
of the vote shows that sixteen Repub-
licans, thirteen Democrats and three Pop
ulists voted for the motion, and seven
teen Democrats against it. Eight Repub-
licans, one Populist and one Democrat
were paired in favor of the motion and
three Republicans and seven Democrats
against. The majorities in favor of re-
ferring the free coal, iron ore and barbed
wire bills were even larger than on free
sugar.
The members Of the house have been
dropping off so quietly and surely that at
no time yesterday was there a quorum
present, and requests for leave of absence
on account of sickness and sickness in
family" were received with derisive laugh
ter. The senate bill repeating the clause
in the new tariff act placing alcohol used
in the arts on the free list was passed af-
ter debate. AT 4:45 o'clock the house adj
journed until Monday.
