Heavy E.pr... ROBBERY.

A Colorado Springs, Col, dispatch
Of the 18th says the Wells, Fargo ex-
press office at that place was robbed
OF $4,000 Monday night by two
masked men The express company
gave out the following statement:
-,rwenty thousand dollars was sent

Bank at Colorado Springs in the early
afternoon. The money was received

cred. and the package containing the
money was placed in the depot safe
and both doors locked. Evidently
the thieves knew Of its existence.
When train No. 6 came IN about 9:i5
there were other packages aboard with
currency to the amount OF $4,000
consigned to the bank, The packages
were delivered to the agent and
placed in the safe. After the train
had departed, the agent, George
Krout, went to the platform to
straigbten the trucks standing there,
and when he returned TO the Office
was met at the door by two masked
men with drawn revolvers.
@The package containing the s2O,-
0c1 W. demanded and the agent was
compelled to open the safe and give 1t
up. The agent said nothing about
the remaining packages, and the rob.
bers left at once

dress himself and get into bed. After
he had done SO n of the men took
pains to see that the quilts and com
~forters were drawn tightly over
krout's head and tucked down. Then
they left. When Krout plucked up
enough courage to go outside there
was no one in sight.
The express company officials be-
licve the robbery was committed by
A.J Gray. alias Sam Wells, and J. Il.
Stewart, alias G. J. Starr, who were
arrested for the theft OF $4,000 from
an express agent ut Cripple Creek on
April l1th, and who recently, in com
pany with Tom Mccarthy, escaped
from jail in this city. They also be
lieve that the robbers had un

The Nicaragua Canal.

The Evening Post of Chicago as
serts that the Nicaragua canal is to
be built; that New York and London
capital will foot the bills and Ameri.
can contractors do the work. 1t is
also said that Chicago engineers and
drainage canal contractors will have
a leading part in the construction.
This has been brought about by
the investigation made by the leading
spirits in the Nicaragua scheme into
the work being carried on in the
shape OF the 100000 Chicago
drainage canal. For months their
experts have been investigating this
work. and it is said that rs Il result
the moving spirits in the Western
works have been invited to visit the
Nicaragua leaders in New York.
The Post further asserts that for
several months certain London II
n%anciers, in company with some New
Workers, have been looking into tho
scheme and have practically decided
to back it. Between $4,000, 900 and
SS5,00O,000 will be needed, and that
amount, says the Post, hos been guar
anteed.
Tho Post adds that while the deal
has not yet been completed, tho ne
gotiations are in n very advanced
stage and almost on the verge of com.
pletion. All attempts to secure fl.
nuncial aid from this Government
will be abandoned and the matter be
prosecuted as a purely priyntc enter.

A STATE MINING COMMISSION

Several Of the State papers are adj
vocating the creation Of a State Min.
ing Commission by the next Legisla.
ture. The Carson Appeal in the
course Of a lengthy article on the sub
ject says hat the Commission should
be composed Of five good, responsible
men with power to investigate at all
times the condition OF mines and min
ing, and so vouch for mines that a
reference from them would be OF val
ue to outside parties.
The Reno Journal in commenting
on the proposed Commission, says:
EVery likely good would result from
such a Commission, but rs it would
be expensive the mine owners might
not be disposed to bear the expense
and it would be unjust to pay the
Commission out of the general State
fund. A prospector, too, might dis
cover n good mine and not having the
means to pay for an examination OF
the property by the State Commission
would be placed at a disadvantage,
as he could not secure the indorse.

The INDEPENDENT fails to sec any

scheme further than to give n few
more men a place at the public crib
to fatten off the already overburdened
taxpayers OF the State. The people
are paying too many officers now.

CARSON, Nov. l4.-In the Mint case

could DO easily made in the Mint and
come to this administration from the

Chicago Vermonters.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Forty of the
members of the Chicago Association of
the Sons and Daughters of Old YER
mont sat down to the 18th annual ban
quet at the Grand Pacific hotel tonight.
Sickness and business kept three times
as many away. E. B. Sherman was
expected to be the chief speaker, but he
was made POSTMASTER and allowed the
oratorical honors to go to Rev. George
N. Idle of Milwaukee. Speaking of
Vermont in retrospect Mr.. Ide said
that the history of Vermont from its
earliest dawn to date it is one to be
proud Of During the late financial
crisis not bank in Vermont failed.
There is no political corruption in Yer
mont and no one there ever heard of
Doodle. A. N. Waterman responded to
the toast, "A Vermonter in Japan"
and drew comparisons between the two
civilizations. Maj. Edward ID. Reding-
ton, the retiring president, introducing
his successor, Austin Clement. Capt.
Egbert Phelps read his own poem, en-
titled vermont.

Trouble in the Militia.

MANCHESTER, N. H., Jan. 25.-The
trouble in the First Regiment over the
appointment of w. w. Scott of Dover
has not died out. Rumors of resigna-
tons have been rife even since his NOM
nation. The ball was set in motion by
the resignation of Lieut.. Thomas E.
Costello, from the Emmett Guards. This
action, according to his friends, was
the result of the defeat of Maj. Perkins,
the rival of Scott for the Colonelcy. In
the company election that followed the
resignation of Capt. O'Malley, who was
nominated for Lieutenant Colonel,
Lieut.. Costello, it is claimed by his
friends, did not receive the recognition
ordinarily called promotion, and the
feeling over the Colonelcy matter is
thought to have had something to do
with it. The sentiment is that the feel
ing of insecurity will ultimately result
in the splitting of the First Regiment
and its absorption by the Second and
Third Regiments as advised by Gov.
Busiel in his inaugural.
