Cleaned Ont the Vault.

One Of the most clcvcrly planned bank
robberies on record was discovered at
Defiance, Ohio, Wednesday when an ex-
pert forced open the Merchants National
vault and found inside the wreckage of
an explosion, from S15, 900 TO $50, 900 be-
ing missing. The robbery was committed
Monday night, though the burglars had
evidently been at work several days be-
foee. They entered the vault through
the ceiling, hole being cut in the floor
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton rooms. Once in the vault the safe
was blown open, the money eXtacted, the
lock of the vault plugged, the floor re-
placed and no clew left TO Indicate that
anything had been disturbed. The bank
officials for this reason simply supposed
that the lock was out of order, and this
gave the thieves two days to make good
their escape. The loss To the bank can
not be estimated with any great degree
of certainty. The capital stock of the
concern is 100000, and the bank has
always carried more than the required
10 per cent. There were quite number
of wealthy depositors, so that the loss
may range anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000

Miners Caught by Rising Water.

Miners Caught by Rising Water.
At noon Tuesday the water was rising
in the Diglake colliery at Hanley, En-
gland, where 80 or 100 men were entomb-
ed. 1t is feared that most of them have
been drowned. The colliery was Hooded
while about 240 miners were at work.
The water came from part of the mine
which h0d been closed for some time. Ii
swept through the workings with tremenr
dous force, carrying with it timbers, cars,
and tools. The men nearest the shafts
were rescued and others fled To remote
workings, where they would be above the
level of the flood, although cut off froln
the shafts. The sorrowstricken wives,
daughters and other relatives of the i'm
prisoned miners gathered around the pit
head ap1 patiently faced the bitterly cold
wind, or they stood in groups, hoping
and praying for the safety of those dear
to them. The rescuers found the bottom
eff the shaft choked with piles of timber
swept there by the torrents of water
which poured into the mine. All of this
timber must be removed before the en-
tombed men can be reached. Hundreds
of miners arrived at the Diglake colliery
from other collieries and volunteered to
go down and assist in the work of rescue.
Fresh gangs of men were thus supplied
10 go down every hour.

MORE FAST MAILS UNLIKELY.
Postal Department Has Trouble Main

Postal De partner Has Trouble Main
tanning Routes Now Established.
There have been urgent requests from
the West and South for n special fast
mail service from Louisville, Cincinnati,
Minneapolis and other cities principally
by the newspapers in Louisville, but Of
ficials having charge of this branch of the
service do not favor it. They say that the
fast mail facilities in these sections are
now very good, and would like to grant
the requests if Congress would make an
appropriation for such a service, but If
these parties were favored numerous 9th
er requests would be made and petitions
sent in from other sections asking the
same privileges. At present there is
fast mail route from Boston to New Or
leans, but each year the appropriation TO
maintain it is strongly opposed by those
not receiving tho benefits of the service.
To establish the route asked for would
necessitate an enormous appropriation,
and il is doubtful if Congress would
pass special bill granting it.

vcxatious Interference with Mission
aries from America.

Vcxatious interference with MISSION
aries from America.
There is another question pending be-
tween the United States and Turkey
that is of almost as much interest to the
Christian world as the persecution of the
Armenians. Ii has been the subject of
correspondence between the American le-
CATION in Constantinople and the Depart
ment of State in Washington for several
years and involves the right of foreigners
as well as the subjects of the sublime
porte TO the free exercise of their relig-
ion. The imperial ottoman government
guarantees religious liberty but at the
same time exercises censorship over all
religious books, both those which are pub
lished by the Protestant societies within
the limits of Turkey and those imported
from foreign countries. The Turkish
system of censorship is extremely COM
prehensive and severe. For the last few
years the missionaries of the American
board have had great deal of trouble
with the censors whose duty is to examine
and pass upon religious books. Some of
them are entirely unacquainted with the
doctrines of the Christian church, and
some are unable to understand the Ian
guage of the books upon which they are
expected to render judgment. The re-
suit is a painful trifling with things held
sacred by all Christians.

Thousands of the unemployed congre-

of the rioting were being tried. 1t was
brought out as a result of the investiga-
ton by the detectives that the real lead
ers of the mob wanted to break into the
savings bank. The men arraigned, with
one exception, have police court records,
and their past is being inquired into be-
fore sentence is pronounced. A man-of-

1t is not likely that there will be further

NO CHANGE IN PRICES.

Merchandise Stocks I'm Producers
Hands Still on the Increase.
X. q. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says:
Neither the beginning of the new year
nor the failure of the currency bill has
brought any material change to business
as yet. The idea that business would
suddenly take new start after the holt
days had rather less foundation even
than usual, but the hope of strong re-
vival n little later is still cherished by
many. There has not been much time for
change in the industries, but differences
observed since the year began are not in
the direction of higher prices or larger
demand. There are more indications than
of late that stocks of different kinds of
goods have been accommodating in conse
quence of past increase in production.

BOREAS' BITTER BLAST.
The Sudden Drop i'm Temperature
Causes Widespread Suffering.

Thursday night the temperature in
Chicago was 81 degrees above zero. Fri
day evening it was AZ degrees below, SO
that the drop there in twenty -four hours
was 3S1a degrees. The cold wave swept
all through the Dakotas, Minnesota, Ne.
braska, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Michi-
gan. Indiana and Ohio. moving swiftly
east and south. Much suffering was
caused People were unprepared. In
addition To the low temperature, the wind
in the prairie country reached hurricane
speed. and in Nebraska the very soil it
self, in the absence of snow, was blown
in drifts. In the lumber districts vast
benefit accrues from the cold, as it insures
ice and continued snow for logging opera
tons.

of diphtheria have been treated with the
French or Gibner serum, and fifteen with
the Behring or German product. There
were five deaths of patients in the first

be stated, however that these five deaths
occurred among the first cases, when it
was not so clearly known that the serum
should be used early in the case. 1t is
