Which They Can Agree.

l1emOcfaIS busy FRAMING Bill upon
Which They Can Agree.
WAsHIN Jan. 17.-The Demo-
cratic leaders of the House are devoting
themselves assiduously to framing a bill
upon which they can agree, and which
can secure a majority of the Senate, for
the reorganization of the currency. 1t ia
understood the deliberations are based
upon the Jones bill. Jones has perfected
a measure, but adheres to his original de-
termination not to introduce it unless he
can be reasonably assured in advance OF
its passage. He and his supporters of the
bill are to-day trying to ascertain just
what support can be obtained, and in
doing this are, to certain extent, can
vassing the Republican side of the Sem
ate as well as the Democratic.

CASHIER DISAPPEARS.
His Blood Stained Clothing Indicates Tha
Something Has Happened.


SAN Francisco. April 3o.-C. S. Smith.
cashier and bookkeeper for l.. W. Mo
Glaughlin & Co. wheat brokers, who
managed the late Senator Fairs big wheat
deal is missing under peculiar circum-
stances. Smith spent Sunday at the Office
working on his books. At o'clock Mon
day morning the police were notified of
Smith, disappearance. A sergeant sent
to McGlaughlin's found several excited
persons, including Mrs. Smith and her
parents, who insisted that the cashier had
been murdered The office was in disor-
der, books and papers scattered around,
and on the floor Smiths hat, coat and
vest spotted with blood.
For hours the police searched the build
ing for Smiths dead body, but no trace of
it or evidence Of murder could be found.
Fifty dollars left in the cash drawer dis
credited the theory of robbery. One of
the firms books is missing. An expert is
now examining Smiths books. The jan
itor of the building says that he and Smith
were partners in stock speculations, the
stocks standing in the janitor's name that
Smiths employers might not know Of his
investments.
A few days ago Smith insisted on SELL
ing the stock. threatening the janitor and
forcing his compliance at tho point of q
pistol. Smith took all the proceeds
49, OO0-saying that he needed it to make
up shortage in his accounts; that tho
books would be brought into court in con-
nection with the Fair will case and the
shortage discovered.

ANOTHER BURGLARY.

Washington Depot.

Safe Cracked I'm the General Store ut
Washington Depot.
WASHINGTON DEPOT, April 30,-The gen.
eral store owned by S. F. Seeley on the
Main street was entered by burglars early
this morning and after blowing open the
safe the robbers secured $127 in cash.
The robbery was not discovered until this
morning when Mr. Seeley went to open
the store as usual. On the floor near the
safe were found a chisel. a bit and brace
and a sledge hammer which had been tax
en- from the blacksmith shop of Henry w.
Woodruff, near by. The bit corresponds /
with the holes in the safe. BeyonG the
tools there was no clue to the thieves.
Several persons living in the neighborhood
say they heard a noise resembling an ex-
plosion about two o'clock this morning,
which is supposed to have been the report
of the dynamite used by the burglars.
After leaving Seeley's store the men went
to the town hall. and forcing open the
basement door gained access to the build
ing They drilled and blew open the safe,
but succeeded in finding nothing of value.
There were only probate papers in the
safe. No clue was left here
The authorities are strongly of the
opinion that these burglars are the same
gang that entered the postoffice at Goshen
Sunday night, and are supposed to be
members of the State Burglars associa-
ton. The work was evidently that of an
expert craftsman.
