Daring Work of Robbers.

Philadelphia, June 20.-A gang Of
masked robbers, probably 10 in number,
raided the receiving office of Paramount
Park transportation Company at Belmont

the receiver and five other employees of
the railroad, blew open the safe, securing
$4,000, the company's receipts for two
days. The entire city detective force is
on the case.
Frank Leaven, receivers Frank Watson
and Henry b. Whitehouse, conductors;
James Cavanaugh, fireman of the power
house. Philip caves, electrician, and Will
lam Cadmus, laborer, were bound hand
and foot with wire.
In addition to the men who actually
committed the robbery, others operated
miles away from the scene by destroying
telegraph and telephone wires connecting
with the trolley company's main Office
Each intruder was armed with two revol-
vers and they took the employees by sur
prise. 1t was the work of a few minutes
for the robbers to pinion the workmen, who
were rolled over to one side of the room
with their faces to the WALL Ten minutes
later the safe had been cracked and the
gang disappeared.

council met representatives of both the
strikers and the company and hoped to
effect a settlement. But, as has been the
rule since the strike began, the riotous
disturbances broke out again about noon

and beat the non-union motorman into in
sensibility. The conductor fled. Another
Wade Park car was stoned, and an Euclid
avenue car attacked. Many women on
board shrieked with terror as stone crashed
through the car windows. One man was
shot and others had narrow escapes. The
passengers escaped as best they could when
the stones began to fly, but the conductor
and motorman were struck repeatedly. The
latter drew a revolver and fired three times
into the crowd. There were no arrests.

Ohio Cities Flooded by Heavy storms

Shelby, Ohio, June 2l.-The citizens of
this place were aroused by an alarm
sounded on fire and church bells and found
the city under water, the heavy rains hav-
ing raised the Black Fork to raging tor
rent. The principal streets are running
streams Wires are down and traffic is
demoralized. 1t is believed that no lives
have been lost.
Mansfield, Ohio, June 2l.-The water
rose six feet in the streets in the lower
portions of the city after midnight as the
result of heavy storm. Washouts oc-
CURED on both the Erie and the Baltimore
& Ohio roads Two hundred people at the
Casino were imprisoned by water, which
was too high for cabs or other conveyances
to rescue them.

POWDER MILL BLEW UP.
With 1t Went the Bodies of Four of
the Employees.

San Rafael, Cal, June l9-The United
States Smokeless Powder Company's fac
tory, situated on Point San Pedro, four
miles from this town, was the scene of a
disastrous explosion. AS result four
employees were killed and three seriously
injured, while six buildings were demol-
ished by the shock and resultant flames.
The bodies of the dead, which are now
at the morgue, are 50 mutilated as to be
almost unacceptable. The dead: Edwin
Secumbe, John S. Secumbe, James M.
Hennessy, M. Hollenbeck. The injured:
John Farrell, Henry Carroll, William Web
ster.
To the sudden igniting of the powder
contained in the granting room the disas-
ter is due. A second explosion quickly
followed the first, and soon four mixing
houses were in flames and were entirely
consumed. The explosions at first were
mistaken for the national salute at the
military stations in honor of Bunker Hill
day. About year ago an explosion oc-
CURED at these works from similar cause.
The property damage today will not ex-
coed $4,000.
1t is surmised the primary cause of the
explosion was the criminal carelessness of
one of the workmen who was smoking
in the granting room, and it is coniectured
the offender was either Hollenbeck or John
Secumbe, who paid dearly for his folly.

wounded. The loss of the rebels was very
heavy.
The battalion soon exhausted its am
munition and at 2:30 p. m. General Wheat
on and his staff, with two mounted guns
and one field piece, went to reinforce the
troops attacked. General Wheaton was
fired on in the road and had a narrow es-
cape.
A third battalion was ordered to the
front and formed on the Las Minas road.
Heavy firing on both sides followed, the
artillery being freely used.
The enemy was located in the woods at
o'clock, showing signs of retiring, as they
were being pressed very hard. One gun
OF the Sixth Artillery in an advantageous
position did great execution.
The fighting was still in progress at 8
o'clock, at which time the Americans had
secured a quantity of Filipino arms which
had been abandoned in the woods. The
scene of the fighting is over 20 miles from
Manila.
