Bold Chicago Hold-Up.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Two armed rob-
bers entered the buffet of the Auditor
ium hotel at 1880 this morning, while
twelve people were sitting at the table,
covered the cashier, D. Walsh, with
their weapons, seized 500 which he
had just deposited in a tin box, and
then escaped. The men entered the
buffet from the door in the annex.
They were well dressed, and created no
suspicion until they drew their revol-
vers. Cashier Walsh had counted out
the money and deposited it in the box
when one of the robbers said: "Cry
for help and you're a dead man." His
companion seized the cash and both
backed out of the door with drawn
weapons. They ran into Lake-Front
Park and the police could find no trace
of them. The annex is one of the most
prominent hotels in Chicago, and is
located in the heart of the city.

WORSE THAN REPORTED.
A Cuban's Story OF Fondevelia's Ter
ribls Atrocities in Guanabacoa.

flDlS DuHnaDACOh.
New York, Jan. IL. - Antonio
Aguierro, a member of the Havana pro-
duce exchange, arrived here on the
steamer Orizaba, from Havana. He
was resident of Guanabacoa, where, ac-
cording to recent reports from Havana,
atrocities were committed by the Span
ish troops under Colonel Fondeveila.
Senior Aguierro when seen last night
said:
"The reports which reach the
United States of the state of affairs in
Guanabacoa are far from telling the
whole truth. Colonel FOndeveila has
instituted reign of terror at the place.
His name is we'll known to the Ameri-
can press as that Of the most blood
thirsty officer of General Weyler's COM
mand. He is favorite of the captain
general and has been appointed military
commander of Guanabacoa, just across
the bay from Havnaa.
''Fully 500 families have left the
town and moved into Havana since his
taking charge. People are taken from
their homes and killed with machetes
in the outskirts of the town. The
world is then made to believe that such
people were leaving their homes to join
the rebles, who swarm in the neigh
borhood. Iknow Of thirty nine persons
who have thus been done away with.
Even honest Spaniards are shocked
at Fondeveila's acts. One of the honest
Spaniards warned me that my name
was on the list with more than 200
more kept by Fondeveila as men
marked by him for secret execution as
rebel sympathizers. Being thorough
ly neutral man and having good friends
among the Cubans and Spaniards alike,
l managed to obtain my passport for
the United States. owe my escape
from Fondeveila's clutches to my Span
ish friends, toward whom 1 feel the
greatest gratitude.

forest, Pittsburg inventor, who has
been interested in the stories about the
alleged California airship, says he has
a hying machine that will fly. Yester.
day he exhibited a model which few

should be built on the principle of a
oird's flight, and his model looks like
a large hawk or eagle. He was careful
TO arrange it SO that the body of the
bird would hold sufficient gas to make
the machine buoyant enough to elevate
and sustain itself in the air. After
Milling the model with gas he attached
rope to it. As soon as he released
the model it started skyward until the
end OF the rope was reached. Deforest
mas made number of public tests of
his model and all were successful.

A NEGRO MONSTER.
Cooper, the Outlaw. Adds Four MUIR
ders to His Record.

uerS TO HIS Record.
Mayesville, S. c., Jan. 11.-Simon
Cooper, the negro outlaw who shot and
killed another negro and wounded sew
eral others at Magnolia few days ago,
and for whom there is reward of $iO0
offered by the governor, added more
murders to his record this morning,
near Magnolia. Cooper entered the
house of Ben Wilson about sunrise, and
demanded the use of Wilson's buggy.
which was refused. The monster then
picked up an ak and split Wilson's
head open. He attacked Wesley Will
son, the son, and murdered him in
like manner. Cooper then murdered
Mrs. Wesley Wilson with the same
weapon, after which he struck down a
negro who had approached on hearing
the noise, and left the ak sticking in
the negro's head.
AS soon as the news of the shocking
tragedy reached Sumter, the sheriff
organized posse of men, chartered a
special car and came to Mayesville,
where relnforcements from this town
and the surrounding country awaited.
word reached the sheriff here that
Cooper had been seen within two miles
OF Sumter. The sheriff divided the
volunteers into several posses and sent
them In different directions, but Cooper
was not found.
The Wilson's were white people of
high standing in their community.
Ben Wilson was about 80 years old, his
son 40 and Mrs. Wesley Wilson 35.
Two children have been left orphans.
UP to this hour the murderer has not
been captured, but it is almost impos.
siole for him to escape. If captured
MS tate will be a most terrible one.
Embalmed in whisky.
Cynthiana, KY, Jan. 11.-Charles
bramlett, aged 80 years, died January
4: He owned several plantations in
Harrison county, and had been pros.
porous man all his life. At low esti-
mate he was worth $780, 900. He was
peculiar in nothing but ideas of his own
burial. He was great reader, and
Poihaps ureW MS notions of his own
interment from the histories of ancient
Egypt.
About fifteen years ago he hired a
stonemason to make him sarcophagus
OF blue Kentucky limestone, which is
more durable than the hardest marble
AT the same time he bought barrel
OF the best old Bourbon the state could
produce and ordered that at his death
the whisky should be poured upon his
body, after it was placed in the stone
coffin. The sarcophagus was then To
De hermetically sealed and placed in
grave near his residence.
All his directions have been followed
and he was buried today. 1t required
a number OF strong horses to carry the
body in its heavy receptacle.
