SOMERSWORTH, N. H, April 16,-
perate and determined robbers, and
during a heroic but futile struggle to
protect $50 900 or more in money and
securities in the compartments Of the
open vault of the Great Falls National
bank, Of Somersworth, this afternoon,
Cashier Joseph A. Stickney was
struck down and bruta1y murdered at
his desk. After killing Sticl1ney, the
murderers ransacked the vault and
fed with all the cash, with the eXcep-
ton Of a S. gold piece. AS near as
can be estimated, about $4,000 was
taken, but 1t is possible that the loss
will considerably exceed this sum, as
no one but the dead cashier knew the
exact amount in the institution. The
robbers, after knocking Stickney down
with a blackjack, cut his throat. The
most remarkable feature Of the rob-
berry is the fact that 100000 in United
States bonds, which were kept in Gle
Of the drawers Of the big vault end
which the robbers evidently examined
hastily, were not taken. Neither were
any of the negotiable paper and Sc
curities Of the bank-in fact nothing
is missing except tke cash.
No one was aware Of anything wrong
at the bank until an hour after the
robbery. The perpetrators had ample
time to escape, and this evening scores
Of deputy sheriffs and citizens are
securing this section Of the state and
the adjoining state of Maine. The
bank was besieged by hundreds Of
people when the news Of the terrible

LEVEE AT DELTA GIVES WAY.

VICKSBURG, Miss, April 16.-The
Queen q Crescent train dispatches al
midnight reported that Biggs Ievee in
Madison parish broke at 10 o'clock, and
that the break was 100 feet wide in a
few minutes. The break is four and
a half miles south of Delta, La. The
news was sent to Delta at once, the
operator being routed out Of bed and
the message Of warning sent along
the line Of the railroad westward
This levee, a very large one, has been
engaging the special attention Of the
levee authorities for weeks. Several
hundred cOnvicts have been employed
upon it, in addition to other labOrers,
and so greatly had it been strengthened
that only today the belief was conf
IDENTIFY expressed by men living behind
it that it would hold. The disaster
will be a great one but it's extent the
next day will show.
The information has been confirmed
and the people have been notified to
get out of reach of the flood. Biggs. Is
a sandy levee, generally speaking. It's
Importance may be estimated by the
fact that such efforts have been eX-
pended to maintain it. Since IL o'clock
the river at Vicksburg has fallen more
than an inch, additional evidence of
the rise Of the break.
Madison parish, the interior Of which
is thus invaded by the great flood, is
enc of the richest and most pOpulOus
parishes in North Louisiana, in the
highest state of guilty alton and abound
ing in live stock. Little of the latter
has been removed. The ravages of the
flood likely to ensue may be estimated
by the fact that the river stops at 524
on the gauge at o'clock this evening.
Details cannot be obtained tonight, as
the place is inaccessible. The creVasse
will overflow an immense area.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 16.-Advices
from Natchez and other points below
Vicksburg indicate that the supreme
test in the flood situation is at hand,
The swift current, which is rising stead
lily, is beating against the levees with
such a force as to cause the gravest
apprehension at many places. At
Natchez the river is near the top Of
the levee and everything possible is
being done to fight back the water. All
kinds of rumors have been current to-

TRUCE AT FRANKFORT.
No Developments to Be EX-
pected Now Before Tues lay.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 16,-A
truce in the senatorial battle has been
declared till next Tuesday. The re
spective steering committees this after
neon signed agreements that on to-
morrow and Monday one vote should
be cast for each of the candidates.
Nearly half of the members have gone
home or elsewhere to stay till Tues
day morning, and most Of the remain
ing half will go to Louisville on a
special train tomorrow afternoon to
hear the address of William Jennings
Bryan at the auditorium. 1t is gener-
ally agreed that the Black burn people
are hoping for the indictment OF
Hunter, in the idea that, if indicted.
he cannot withdraw under a cloud, and
the cloud could not be lifted till the
trial Of the indictments, which would
last the summer out.
The grand jury which has kept three
deputy sheriffs busy looking for and
summOning witnesses for two weeks,
it not yet through and adjourned
again tonight without making a re-
port. Court adjourns early tomorrow
afternoon for the week, and it is said
that Judge Cantrill has notified the
jury that a report must be fOrthcOm~
ing before this adjournment.

TROOPS GOING HOME.
Forces in Cuba to Be Reduced
by Forty Thousand.

WASHINGTON, April 16-Accord-
ing to information received from
trustworthy sources here, the with
drawal Of at least a part Of the great
army that Spain has maintained for
several years in the island Of Cuba
will begin when the rainy season sets
in, within a few days. The initial
movement will be the departure of ten
thousand Spanish troops from Havana
for Spain, and within q short time
after that 10000 troops, it is under
stood, will follow Whether this move
ment is to be construed in favor of or
against the insurgents 1t is not pos
sible now to say. The Spanish insist
positively that it means only that lit
tie or nothing remains of the insur-
rection; that Gomez has only about
fifty or a hundred followers, and that
to watch these under the conditions in
which the campaign has necessarily
been conducted, a few thousand men
are quite as effective as the army Of
10000 men which has been maintained
in Cuba. The Cuban contingent on the
other hand insist that the Spanish
financial resources are exhausted and
that the troops are to be withdrawn
because Of lack Of money to keep them
in service.

apprehended, it would have been found
difficult to prevent a double lynching

for the editor-kind words and church

itor with money, watch him. He'll
be paying bills and disgraclng his pro-

to swap. Then when you die, after

and what he wants Is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the print

Take your Job work to the job office
and then come and ask for half rates

with beautiful thoughts in resolutions
OF respect and cards of thanks. They
make such spicy reading, and when

are 80 proud Of your little paper! But
money-scorn the filthy thing. Don't
let the pure, innocent editor know
anything about 1t. Keep that for
sordid tradespeople who charge for
their wares. The editor gives his bounty
away. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
He'll take care of all the editors. Don't
worry about the editor. He has a
charter from the state to act as door
mat for the community. He'll get
the paper out somehow; and stand up
for you when you run for office, aud lia

Prof. ]. L. Budd has been taking a
trip through the Southwest. Speaking
of the desert regions Of New Mexico
and Arizona, he says, in the Iowa State
Register; The yankee is usually not
slow in discovering money making pos
sibillties. In riding over these plains
it seems strange to find squatters on a
patch of desert soil-dotted over with
sage brush, mesquite, and tree cactus.

Ranch" The practical idea is that
without these pioneer money makers
the alfalfa would waste its fragrance
on the desert air. As honey plant
it has no superior, yet We are told that
many Of the desert plants give good
yields of nectar, which improves the
quality for market of the alfalfa honey.
We yesterday came across an Iowa
young man-who came here for his
health-who is really making money on
his little desert presumption out of his
extracted honey crop and his refined
beeswax. In the latter line his yankee
shrewdness enables him not only to re-
fine bis own product, but that of bee
raneIers over wide area. Already
thu honey and beeswax of these arid
Valleys reaches many of the cities and
vilMges OF the prairie states.
