Bank Building at Milan, Ohio, Blown
Up by Burglars.
THE Town ALARMED By THB NOISE
Organization of a Posse and the
Capture OF Two.
WELL LAID PLANS FAIL

TOLEDO. Ohio. February About
o'clock this morning terrific explosion
alarmed the people OF the village of Mi
Ian, east of here A hurried examination
showed that the Lockwood Bank building
had been blown up, the safe cracked and
it's contents. about $4,000. taken by five
masked men. who, in blowing open the
safe, had demolished the building and
started an alarm all over the village
Among the many who started to investi-
gate the explosion was l.. l.. Stoddard
cashier of the bank. and he was just in
time to see the five men leave the bank
building. jump into a carriage and drive
away on a dead gallop.
He fired several shots at them. but with
out effect. and the men socn disappeared
in the direction of Sandusky.
A posse of men was hurriedly organized
and soon followed in pursuit. At the same
time. notices were sent by wire in all direc-
securely that escape was well nigh i'm
possible.
At SanduSky two men were caught, while
IL IL only a question of few hours before
the remaining three will find themselves in
the tolls.
The exact amount of money secured can
not yet be ascertaned, but it Is believed to
be about $4,000 The bank is wealthy
concern which fact was doubtless known
by the men.
The only error in their well-laid plans
was the heavy explosion which started the
alarm. Ia is quite probable that they had
not prepared il with sufficient caution, and
by that one error their plans were upset
and themselves put in danger of capture.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Charles Specht Mixes Rough on Rats
With Deer. e

Charles Specht, living at No. 1924 Sher-
man avenue attempted suicide today in
saloon on 14th street between and V
streets, by drinking rough on rats The
attempt was not successful, though II
might have been but for the vigilance of
the bartender and the promptness Of the
proprietor of the place.
Specht walked into the saloon in the
usual way and ordered a glass of beer.
There was nothing peculiar-looking about
the customer. He drew the beverage to
him, ard, lowering it under the front of the
counter to be secure from the observation
of the bartender, began to stir something
into it. Then, with his left hand. he placed
a box from which he had taken the pow
der, on the bar and its label, Rough on
Rats" caught the eye of the bartender
The customer had just placed the glass
to his lips, and perhaps had taken one
swallow, when the man behind the bar
reached for the glass and summoned the
proprietor. Then followed scuffie. The
man fought strongly, but the glass was
knocked from his grasp and shattered on
the floor. Officer Mcdonnell of the eighth
precinct was called, the patrol turned out,
and the man taken to the station. whence
he was removed TO Garfield Hospital.
His drink will not result fatally, the ply
stefan reporting that the usual remedies
were applied with satisfactory results
Specht gave no reason for his act other
than that he was tired of life.

FIRST NEWS FROM ARMENIA.
Comment ON the Enterprise of the
Associated Press.

Comment ON the Enterprise of the
Associated Press.
PITTSBURG. Pa, February 4.-The Post,
commenting upon the Armenian letter Oh
the Associated Press, says:
'"The investigation of the Armenian mas
sacre made by the Associated Press is one
work done for long time Not only Is 1t
of worth from a news point of view. and
it was a fine scoop for the organization
that furnishes the Post with so much OF It's
telegraphic news. but 1t will prove OF per
manent value in the settlement OF the ques-
tions political and social that must neces-
sarily arise before the affair of the TURK
and his victims can be looked upon by the
rest of the world as settled. 1t was most
commendable piece of high class enter
prise"
.Vhen the Associated Press first sent
out, and the papers belonging to 1t printed,
the news of the massacre. rival news as
sociations tried to belittle the value Oh me
information, and even up to the present
have not given the subject the attention IL
deserves. They could not do so. but pre-
tended that it's Importance had been ex.
aggerated. The investigation disposes OF
all such pretensions forever, and gives
proof that the Associated Press news Is
reliable in all respects.
"As to the trouble itself, the correspond
ent's labors do not put the Turks in any
better light than they have been since the
first rumors of the outraGeS were heard.
The Armenians are shown to be rehellious,
and most Americans will think rightly so.
The Turks to punish rebellion, permit all
manner of unnamable crimes 10 be COM
mitted, goading the prosecuted people to
frenZed outburstS, which are in turn pun
iSheo with still more awful atrocities. The
fault of the whole matter is seen to be in
Constantiuople, and with the European
nations that permit the sultan to exercise
his sway over the country of the Ar
menians"

TAKEN TO VIRGINIA
A Smallpox Patient From Here Discov-
cred
May Have Spread Infection on the
Cars-Other Cases of Sus-
poets Examined.

Major Moore this afternoon received a
dispatch from Catletts, Va, a station on the
Alexandria and Fredericksburg railroad,
making inquiry about a colored woman
named Sarah DiggS, who reached there
from this city Saturday. The dispatch.
which was signed by w. A. Lawler, stated
that the woman, who was in charge Of
another colored woman, has a well-develop-
ed case of smallpox. She said there that
she came from No. 2I33 z street, George
town.
Inspector HolIinberger reported the mat
ter to Health Officer Woodward and made
inquiries about the address given. House
No. 2I53 is new brick dwelling, and 1t was
ascertained by the police that Mary piggs
had not lived there.
So far as the health authorities are con-
cerned. they know Of no one named Diggs
having had the smallpox here, nor are they
able to account for the case.
1t is possible that the woman was taken
sick. and, not wanting to go to the hos
pital. got on the Saturday train and went
home. If she really has the disease, 1T Is
feared she may have spread it, and that
some other persons who were in the car
may be stricken.
Health Officer Woodward will probably
communicate with the Virginia health au-
thoritieS about the case.
There were no suspicious cases reported
here today. Yesterday there was a suspect
In the county near Brghtwood but when
the case was investigated it was ascer-
tanned that the patient had the chickenpox.
Thomas Keys, the colored man whose ILL
ness caused q little uneasiness in Provi-
dence Hospital Friday night, has been in
the suspect camp since early Saturday
night. Today DIR. hewitt reported that his
condition was normal and that he has not
got the smallpox. He will probably be al
lowed to go home this evening.
During the past few days several patients
have been discharged from the hospital,
and there are now only fourteen GONZALES
cents in the little building near the Jail.

A narrow ESCAPE.

Secretary Carlisle had occasion to con-
suit with the President in regard to the
financial policy yesterday afternoon. and,
as he was crossing the avenue to enter the
White House grounds. he had a narrow
escape from what might have been seri-
Gus accident. He was walking leisurely
along, evidently absorbed in thought. and
did not realize his danger from the sleighs
and other vehicles which were passing in
great number. Suddenly a high-spirteJ
steed, drawing a cutter containing two
young people, dashed down the avenue
Immediately in front of the Secretary. The
horse seemed to be beyond the control of
it's driver, and, if the Secretary hadn t
checked his progress and stepped back sew
cral PAGES, he would undoubtedly have
been Knocked down. His hat fell off, but
was recovered, without damage. Fortu-
nately. the financial minister suffered no
other inconvenience. The sleighing party
drove Off and was soon Out of sight.

THE COOLEST DAY.
Thermometer Got Down to Zero Yes
terday Morning.

Thermometer Got Down to Zero Yes
terday Morning.
Did you know that yesterday was the
coolest day of the winter? You didn't?
Well, it was. The thermometer on the roof
of the weather bureau building registered
it SO; the thermograph on the lower floor
corroborated the thermometer, and Prof.
Hazen declares that it is fact.
At sunrise yesterday the mercury stood
at zero. Sunrise is the coolest part of the
day as a general thing, because then the
earth has carried the radiation of neat to
the limit. 1t was not generally known to
the people of Washington that yesterday
morning was the coolest of the season, be
cause it was Sunday morning, and early
rising on that morning has not the force Of
custom. The early worm is very seldom
used for breakfast on Sunday in Washing
ton. Most people awake at the usual hour,
look out at the dreary scene for few
moments, listen to the familiar sound CT
the dairy and baker wagons as they roll
alcng their routes, turn over, tuck the bed
clothes a little closer around the head,
wish that every day was Sunday, and sleep
again. 1t was principally for this reason
that the city did not know that yesterday
was the coolest day of the winter If the
mercury had taken a similar tumble on any
other day the whole town would be talking
about it,
The next coolest day to yesterday was
January 13. and this was also Sunday. AT
sunrise Of that day the merucury said six
degrees above. Yesterday it warmed Up
considerably toward noon, and at o'clock
it had risen to twenty degrees, and little
after the sun began to go down hill the
mercury rose to twenty-four degrees. There
has been nothing unusual in the weather
today at this point, but at st. Vincent,
Mimi. it is forty degrees below zero. This
is the coolest point in the United States to-
day. Yesterday at the same place II was
thrty-six below. The weather proph cts Sd
that the weather will behave properly for
the next twenty-four hours.
