An Interesilse Deadlock.

Whatever else may be thought OF the
interference of Pennsylvania gov
crnor In the senatorial deadlock In that
state. the impression commonly re-
ceived outside appears to be that II
would not have occurred had the Quay
men felt confident of victory. All OF
which renders this deadlock the more
interesting. for. judging from the past,
Mr.. Quay might well feel pretty con-
lident.
Meanwhile the regular candidate OF
his party has not secured the requisite
number Of votes and the situation
affords the newspaper prophet UNI
limited scope for his Imagination.
A recent prediction is that Chris
Magee OF Pittsburg will eventually win
the prize. notwithstanding he is sup
porting Quay and urges that the latter.
being the nominee of the Republican
caucus. should receive the Republican
votes. 1t is noted that some Of those
who formerly were Magees closest
iieutenants are helping to strengthen
the hands of the "antis." Moreover
Magee is in such a position that Quay
could turn his strength over TO the
Pittsburg man. a thing he would not be
likely to do i'm the case of one who is
now actively opposing him. This. how
ever. is only one nf the most interest
ing of the many guesses, finding theii
way into print.

BOUND and ROBBED BY
FIVE Masked MEN
Wealthy Woman Compelled to
Give Up $500.
Two Victims Tied to Their Beds
With Ropes.
Burglars Threatened Violence, and
Are Suspected of Being Resi-
dents of the Locality.

Hagerstown, Md. March "A bold bur-
glary took place at an early hour yester-
day morning at the house of Miss Eliza
Waltz, a wealthy elderly lady living in
Washington county about mile south OF
Cavetown. Five masked burglars entered
the house by beating in the back door
with fence rail and carried off about
81 500 in money.
Miss Waltz was awakened after mid
night by the noise. moment later the
burglars broke into her room and seized
her They asked for the money which
was in the house. At first she told them
she did not have any money in the place.
They said they knew better and had been
told she kept a large sum of money in the
house. BY threats she was finally induced
to tell where the money was, in a bureau
drawer in the room adjoining her bed
room.
The burglars then deliberately pro-
ceeded 10 tie her arms behind her and her
feet with ropes. She was then rolled into
bed and tied fast TO the bedposts. Station
Hoffman, aged about ten years, q nephew
of Miss Waltz, was also tied and bound
to his bed. Miss Waltz and the little boy
were the only occupants Of the room.
During the tying of the victims one of the
burglars said TO another: Harry, keep
your face covered, else the old lady will
recognize you" Three of the men were
tall, two short Five wore cloths over
their faces. bound around their heads with
binder twine. One wore a common mask
or false face.
Everything in the room was turned top
sy turvy in their search. The money was
found where Miss Waltz said it was Sc
creted They took nothing else, and then
left at a. m.
Marion Houck a relative, who stays in
the house at night. but was absent when
the robbery took place, returned soon af
ter the burglars left and released Miss
Waltz and the boy. Mr.. Houck aroused
Miss Waltz's brother-in-law, Mr.. Joshua
Houck, living opposite, and couriers were
dispatched after officers Of the law.
The general opinion is that the burglars
were residents Of that section and were
familiar with the house and knew that
money was kept on the premises.

Second Time.
Boats Used to Convey People to
Their Homes.
Rising Waters Compel the Gas
Works to Shut Down-The
River Subsiding.

Richmond, Va, March 7.-As was antici-
pated, the lower portion of Richmond is
again under water, this being the second
time within the past two weeks that this
section has been submerged 1t is no new
thing for the residents and those who have
places of business ON lower Main, Frank
lin, Cary, and the cross streets in that
neighborhood to be forced to move their
goods to the second floors of their stores or
dwellings, and this task had about been
accomplished Sunday night. The food has
caught very few unprepared in this re-
spect, but that only diminishes in de-
gree the loss that must necessarily result
from the freshet.
Fulton, the section of the city formerly
known as Rockets, is almost cut off from
the rest of Richmond, and street cars are
unable to operate in that part of the town.
Rowboats are being used TO convey persons
to and from their houses
The river is thought to have almost
reached its highest 1t does not come with
in fifty or more feet of the old st. Charles
Hotel Building which point it reached in
the food of 1889. AT II o'clock last night
the water was so high at the gas works
that they had to shut down. The river
twenty mites ABOVE ItlcnHOHu Is now Sdlu
to be falling.
Railroad Traffic Resumed.
Lexington. Va, March TRAIN service
over the Valley branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio and also North River branch of
the Chesapeake and Ohio was resumed
Sunday evening, after being blockaded by
enormous slides and high water. TIE
trestle work at East Lexington was under
mined, and after the waters receded was
repaired. Houses on what is known as
the Island, containing about ten acres, be-
tween Lexington and East Lexington,
were damaged. The river is assuming nor
NAL proportions. Damage throughout the
county, so far as reported. owing to rains,
has been very great. Land is very much
washed.
