LINCOLN. NEBR., Oct. .-Claytonia, a
village in Gage County, twenty-seven
miles south of Lincoln, was aroused at l
o'clock this morning by loud explosion.
1t was found that the vault of the Clay
tonia Depository had been blown open
and abou. $500 stolen. Two horses be-
longing to Rev. Edward SaIlenbach were
missing. Three notwithstanding men
who had been camping in the woods and
yesterday were in the village buying bread
are suspected. A large posse is securing
the country for the robbers.
William Steinmeyer, president of the
bank, came to Lincoln this morning, and
while he was reporting the robbery 10 the
Lincoln police Albert P Anderson arrived
to report that the Bank of Shelby, Polk
County, had been robbed of $3100, of

FOG WRECKS FOUR TRAINS.
Curious Combination of Accidents in the
Santa Fe Yards-0ny One Man
Injured

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct. IA curious
and unprecedented com bination of wrecks
took place this morning in the yards of the
Santa Fe Railroad at Argentine. A dense
fog caused the trouble. Four trains were
wrecked, but, strange to say. only one
man was hurt, and he not fatally.
An eastbould freight train in trying to
enter the yard was stopped by switch
that refused to work. Before the trouble
could be remedied a special fast freight,
which was following close behind, came
along. On account of the fog the danger
signals were not seen until too late. The
second train crashed into the rear of the
first one. wrecking the engine and several
cars.
Hardly had this collision occurred when
passenger train s, due in Kansas City at
GAS. crashed into the rear OF the wrecked
special train, and few minutes later
passenger train 2, the California limited.
plowed through the rear cars of No. 8.
Only one person was hurt in these
wrecks, a stoekman named George
Slater, who had his arm broken and his
head badly cut. His injuries, although
painful are not considered dangerous.
The passengers were somewhat shaken,
but no one else was injured.
The damage to railroad property
amounts to $4,000.

Lord Rosebery DisaDrees With His Party
on the Turkish Question.
LONDON, ENG, Oct. THE Central
News is authority for the statement that
Lord Rosebery has written to Sir Thomas
Ellis, M. P, the first whip of the Liberals,
resigning the leadership of the party. The
reason given for his lordsnlp's resignation
is that he disagrees with Mr.. Gladstone
and other leading Liberals regarding the
proper policy TO be adopted on the East
ern question.
Lord Rosebery's letter is dated at his
seat, Dalmeny Park, Linlithgowshire,
October g.. In the communication his
lordship says:
'The recent course of events makes it
necessary to clear the air. ! find myself
in apparent difference with considerable
mass of the Liberal party on the Eastern

This situation, except as regards Mr.. Glad

Many persons who were in the arsenal
when the flames burst forth are believed
to have been burned. Thousands of citi-
zens are homeless and are camping in the
fields near the city. Provisions are scarce,
and there is some danger of famine.
In February last the city was visited by
a destructive fire, in which property worth

SHERBOURNE, MINI, Oct. This
town is in a state of excitement tonight
over the most thrilling tragedy that ever
occurred in Southern Minnesota. The
Bank of Sherbourne was robbed of large
sum of money and two men were almost
instantly killed, about twenty minutes
after / o'clock this afternoon. About
noon two men, one of whom looked like q
mere boy, rode into the town on bicycles.
They were both well dressed. No particu-

of them workingmen. and at that hour
they were hurrying home to dinner.

ever, evidently got hold of roll of bills
amounting to about $1,000. Thorburu
probably tried to prevent the men from
getting away with the money, and they
drew their revolvers and began firing. at
the same time retreating. One of the
bullets struck Thorburn in the neck, caus-
ing almost instant death.
The shooting IN the bank aroused the
town, and people began running in that
direction. The first man to reach the place
was Olaf Ostern of Luverne, a travelling
salesman for the Wood Harvester Com

CEDAR KEYS DEATHR0LL.
Early Reports of the Loss of Life in the
Recent Tornado We're Not
Exuoqerated.

CEDAR KEYS, FLA, Oct. IA sufi-
cient time has now elapsed since the late
storm to gather some data and make an
estimate of the losses therefrom. The
first reports of loss of life and property
sent from here, though hastily given, were
not exaggerated. Words fail to describe
the appearance of the town or to describe
the condition of the people. Not single
honse on the island escaped damage.
From all reports the losses are deplor-
able along the coast, from here TO the
Suwanee River not a house is standing,
and the survivors are without food, shell
ter or clothing. They are constantly COM
ing with sorrowful stories of want and
suffering. The town is doing all that is
possible to give employment in the way
of clearing the streets, etc., but this goes
only little way in providing relief The
people here do not expect a train for
months though the railroad has large
force of men at work. Everything is
washed out from the Jour- mile post.
The names of those known to be
drowned follow: George, Henry and Frank
Havens; Mrs. Beacham, Mrs. G. W. Doar
and three children. Mrs. Missouri Branch
and daughter, S. G. Gauz, Sam G. Robin
son, Frank Hall, Sim Branin, all white,
and Bradshaw Campbell and four
spongers, colored. Added to this list are
D. ]. Spear, Allies Bass, Joe Brooker and
Bob Ezeil. They had started from here
ON Monday night for point up the coast,
though warned of an approaching storm.
Only one body has been found, that of
Spear, but there is no doubt that all shared
the same fate. The sponge fleet must
have scattered in several directions, and
some no doubt escaped the fury of the
storm, as it is learned from both sides of
this place that there was nothing serious
in the way of wind or tide at distance of
thirty miles off. Others were undoubtedly

ENGLAND AND VENEZUELA.
The St. James Gazette Bitterly Complains
of Afronts and 0utrages Perpefrated
on its countrymen.

LONDON, Enc, Oct. THE st. James
Gazette devotes a leading article to the
discussion of the Venezuelan question and
insists that no progress has been made
toward a settlement of the dispute. The
paper recites the Venezuelan affronts and
outrages perpetrated on Englishmen and
concludes by saying:
eff such insults and oItrages had been
addressed to the meanest sister republic
in South America there would have been
war long ago. Any other European power
would not have stood it week, yet we sit
with folded hands and permit one slap in
the face to succeed another. We hope
most sincerely that the negotiations with
the United States will result peacefully,
but nothing is to be gained by shutting
our eyes and crying peace where there is
no peace"
The Gazette adds that Venezuela's attl-
tude in regarding the construction of a
railway to Barima as violation of the
Venezuelan treaty is an insult.
