EXPRESS OFFICE ROBBERY.
Package Containing s1O,OO0 Disappears
 at Columbia, s. c.

Columbia, S. C., Dec 27-A paok- age containing s10,OO0 mysteriously disappeared from the safe in the Southern express office here yester- day morning. The first intima ion here that anything was crooked was given by the arrival on a special train Of O. M. Sadler, division superi 1tend- ent, quickly followed by W. B Cross we'll, another superintendent.
 A package of 900 was sent bank in Newberry on Saturday. It cou d not be delivered that day and was re turned here because the safe in that town was considered insecure. The money was put in safe in the express office here, which was left unlocked all night. The package was missed yes terday morning.
 The story is told about a strangar having come into the office and hurried out, but one or more of the office force is suspected and they are being watched.
 T. W. Leary, of Chattanooga, as SASuAhl SS- VI SupCI Ol iuc Southern Express company, arrived here tonight and took up the investi- gation with the four division super intendents, who were already on the ground. The employes were exam ined separately by the officials and de tectives. It is said that all had per formed their duty in handling the money up to the time of it's di- -appea-- arce
 Tonight. after concluding his in vestigation, MT. Leary said there had been no outsider engaged in the rob bery and that it had been done by men in the office. He thought he had spotted the man, he said, but could not name him. He would camp here, he said, until the thief was in jail.

DISTRESS IN CUBA.
A Wide Call Made Upon the Char.tably
 Disposed.

Washington, Dec. 27-Most pro found distress prevails among the pco- pie of Cuba Starvation not only inn bends, but is an actual fact to many thousands. Today the sum Of S, COG was received by Assistant Secretary Day from certain charitabiy disposed persons whose names are not d.s- closed and this sum will be remitted by telegraph early tomorrow morning to Consul-Geleral Lee for disburse- ment among the most pressing oa-e=.
 It is hoped by the department of state that the American people will come to their relief promptly with subscriptions of money, clothing anl supplies of various k.nds. Newspa- pers are expected to send generous aii in carrying forward this movement. Machinery for distribution has been provided by the state department and Consul-General Lee has undertake with the aid of the Ama ican census in Cuba to give personal attention to the aueviation of distress by distri- button of the gifts of the American people

MRS. PULLMAN REBELS.
She Refuses to Abide by the Terms Of
 Her Husbands Will.

Chicago, Dec 27-Mrs. George M. Pullman has decided to accept he- dover interest in the estate of her husband instead of abiding by the terms Of the will. According to the wild she was given s5O,OO0 in cash, the homestead in Chidago. and the income from s1,250,O00 during her life, the sum to revert to the es;ate after her death.
 Her acceptance of the will wcu have made it practically impossible for her to leave anything to the two sons, who were practically disirhsrtei by their father.
 Her third interest as dover gives her s, 100000 in personal property and one-third interest for life in the real estate held by MT. Pullman. This estimate makes the estate of MT. Pull man aggregate at least s15,0O0. 600 in stead of s7,0O0,OO0, as announoe1 inn mediately after his death.

MET DEATH IN LINE OF DUTY.
Four Firemen Overcome by Smoke
 One of Them Dying.

New York, Dec 27.-Fireman Martin J. Oakley was killed tonight at fire which started in a wood bin in the basement Of five-story tenement house on East Fourteenth street. Oak ley was suffocated to death by smoke and escaping gas. Assistant Fore man Thomas E. Head, James E. Davis and Peter Connolly of the same com pany were rendered unconscious by in hali1g smoke and gas and were with difficulty revived.
 When the firemen responded to the alarm Oakley was the first to break into the building, and attempted to reach the fire through a narrow hall way and down a narrow staircase. He was followed by the three others men tioned. The moment Oakley opened the door leading to the stairs the four were enveloped in a thick cloud of smoke and nox;ous gases They were probably almost Immediately over powered.
 Meanwhile other engine companies had arrived and the fire was extin- guished When the smoke had cleared away the four unconscious firemen were found lying in great poo s of water which had been poured into the cellar.

CRACKERS ARE HIGHER.
Combine Has Announced an Advance
 in Prices.

New York, Dec. 27-The largest cor porat:ons engaged in the cracker busi- ness i1 America, the American Biscuit and Manufacturing company, the New York Biscuit company and the United States Biscuit company, who have been negotiating for combination for some time, have announced general ard marked advance in the price of their products. The new price list of the American company, the New York company and of Harris & Hoimss of this city, also large manufacturers, shows an advance over the lowest prices reached during the rate war which prevailed some time ago of as much as 30 per cent for certain brands.
 The heaviest increase is in the sta pie goods The advance, however, is much less pronounced in the finer grades of goods, which are of most common table use, the immediate in creases in them being slight.
