HOLDUP IN LYNN.
Daring Act of Three Armed and Masked
DesperadOes In Grocery.

Daring Act of Three Armed and Masked
Desperadoes In ~ Grocery.
Lynn, Mass, Oct. 25.-The entire city
is alarmed by the boldness of a holdup
that occurred Saturday night and it is
safe to say that there will be big de-
mand for revolvers for few days.
Three desperadoes, heavily masked
and otherwise disguised, and carrying
revolvers in each hand, entered the
grocery store of Allen F. Bartlett, on
Sycamore street near Newhall, at $3.50,
and succeeded in holding the clerks and
other persons in the store at bay while
the bookkeeper and clerks were ordered
to deliver over such money as they had
in their possession.
Cash drawers were also rif1ed, and a
driver of one of the delivery wagons,
who happened to arrive just as the rob-
bers were looting the store, was COM
PEELED to enter the store and surrender
the valuables in his possession. In all
over 800 was secured, but the robbers
failed to examine the safe, which con-
talned large amount of money. No
shots were fired. There was no need OF
any Shots for the occupants of the store
were so completely cowed by the des-
peradoes before they could realize their
situation that they were easy victims.
The greatest excitement prevailed
when the story of the robbery became
known, and Mayor Ramsdell authorized
a reward of $3.50 for the apprehension of
one or more of the desperadoes.
Sunday the police discovered in the
yard of house two doors from Bart
letts store two long duck coats, which
had never been worn more than once or
twice, and to which part of the original
tag was attached On the buttons of
the coats was the firm name, "Coburn &
Whitman" They also found a pair of
blue overalls and a jumper black with
light stripes, both new. This clothing
answers the description of that worn by
the men who were concerned in the
holdup. Several of the people who were
In the store at the time of the holdup
visited the police station, but failed to
identify Patrick Hart, who was arrested
Sunday morning on suspicion,

Rum-Crazed Fellow Shoots Two Men

Rum-Crazed Fellow Shoots Two Men
Dead Without Provocation.
Gorham, NJ H.. Oct. 27.-Joseph Gan
thier and William Thoits were killed and
Selectman Gates fatally wounded by
rum crazed Thomas Monahan Tuesday
morning. The shooting of Gauthier took
place in shanty used as sleeping quart
ers by employees of the Grand Trunk
Railroad company. Monahan appeared
there at 4:30 with gun and, after COM
polling his victim to dress, shot him dead.
Then he went out and fired at William
Thots, whose lifeless body was found
an hour later.
Just as Monahan reached the crossing,
Selectmen Gates and Fogg, who had
come up the track, met him. Mr. Gates
stepped quickly towards Monahan who,
without word, leveled the gun which he
still carried and fired the contents of it's
second barrel almost in the selectman's
face. The shots pierced the neck in
many places, some of them seVering the
jugular vein. AS the gun flashed, Mr..
Fogg, who was close beside his associ-
ate, attempted to seize Monahan. The
murderer dubbed his gun and aimed a
heavy blow at Mr. Fogg's head. The
latter warded the blow with his arm, re-
ceiving serve bruise and grappled with
Monahan. Both men went to the
ground, but Mr.. Fogg gained the mas
terry and disarmed Monahan, who had
a preliminary examination subsequent
ly and was bound over on two charges of
murder
Monahan Is about 80 years of age. He
has been known as a disorderly, idle
fellow, whose time was mostly taken up
by drinking and fighting. Up to about
two months ago, however, he had been
employed by the Grand Trunk railroad.
After his discharge he became more
drunken and quarrelsome than ever. He
has always lived here and, as he was I'M
married, his home was with his widowed
mother, who is a woman of excellent
character

sprang upon him from inside and struck
at him with a sandbag. The blow did
not land fairly and Taylor shouted for

that she had no foreign policy. Judg-
ing from President lIcKinley's mes
sage. the new world is no more free
from the burdens Of diplomatic negO-
tiatiOns than the old.
In document of pOrtentous
length, mostly intended for Spanish
consumption. President Mckinley has
devised a specious pretext for gaining
time. 1t contains passages that will
certainly wound SPANS national sus-
capabilities The whole tone, though
meant to be cOncilatOry, savOrs too
much of the magistrate availing him
self of the first Offenders act, to be
very acceptable at Madrid. Spain may
not be so thick-skinned as we are to
these delicate usages of Americas dip
lOmatic courtesy.
Moreover, there are serious dangers
of revolution in Spain, and tine indis-
Greet adjectives President Mckinley
applied to General Weyler's policy will
not lessen the latter's popularity.
Much depends upon the attitude of
congress. If. as our correspondent
thinks, the jingos acquiesce in the de-
cision Of the executive and give the
Spaniards a chance, all may yet be
well; but recent experience does not
make us Oyer-sanguine"
The Daily Mail says it is very salts
factory that President Mckinley comes
out so strongly against the jingOs.
The Daily Chronicle describes the
message as weak and cOlOrleSs. com
pared with the vigorous handling of
public questions to which Mr.. Cleve-
land accustomed us" 1t says:
The explanation Of this is simple.
Mr.. Cleveland was in front of congress.
Mckinley is behind it. The presidents
comments on the currency issue are
positively childliSe in their SIMPLICITY"
The Times says: Its tone of pat
ronizing tolerance viii make the mes
sage not wholly agreeable to Spain.
Probably the president calculates that
if ne can satisfy the jingos for a time
with eloquent denunciations and warn
inss he Will find it easier to pursue a
moderate policy
Regarding his currency proposals. it
seems too probable that Mr. Mckinley
still clings to the notion that some
thing may be done for silver. So long
as he follows that viii o. the wisp he
can hardly be expected to attempt any
thorough-going reform OF the cur
