Berlin, June 1.-THE opening to-day of
the Elbe-Trave Canal with great ceremo-
NOUS paeeantry, in the presence of the En-
peror and Cabinet and delegates from cities
throughout Germany, is another step for
ward. The canal has length of forty-one
miles, a width of thirty-two meters. of
which twenty-five to twenty-seven are on
the bottom; a depth Of two to two and a
half meters. and cost 25,9O00Oo marks. of
which Lubbock pays II. 7.50o.0oo marks and
Prussia 1,5elc,o marks. Vessels of 500 tons,
such az. for bulk, the Elbe vessels, will
navigate thereon.
There will be several intermediary har-
bors. OF which the principal one will be at
Moellen The canal will revive both the
interna tional and foreign trade of the old
Hansa town of Lubbock. as the transport
OF the products of the whole Austrian and
German Elbe towns to the Baltic will there
by be greatly cheapened. and their export
to the Scandinavian north will De facili-

At PETERSON.S STORE.

At lo:l5 O'clock Friday night three armed
men held up +. II. and F. y. Peterson.
grocers and saloonkeepers of Nineteenth
and Sullivan streets. together with their
clerk and a customer, who was in the sat-
loon at the time.
After robbing the four men they forced
them to enter an ice box in the corner of
the saloon and then closed the door upon
them. after which they beat a retreat. 1t
took twenty minutes of work. with the i'm
prisoned men putting forth all their
strength. before they were able TO force the
door of the box outward. The men who
robbed them. of course. had disappeared.
The loss of the Petersons amounted to sSJ
in cash, a valuable diamond ring and a dia-
mond stud, while a gold watch and some
small change were secured from the clerk
and customer
The two Petersons We're in the saloon
talking to one OF their clerks and GUS
toner. They We're just about to close the
place when three men entered and asked
to be served with beer. When the clerk
went behind the bar to serve them. they
suddenly produced revolvers. and ordered
the four occupants of the saloon to throw
up their hands. The order was instantly
complied with, and one of the men pro-
ceeded coolly TO search the victims. while
the others kept them covered with their
weapons. The man who did the searching
also stepped behind the bar and went
through the cash register, his total haul
amounting to s35.
He then looked aound the place, and.
pointing to a large ice box. which is in
one corner of the saloon. ordered the four
men to get in. They demurred at first.
thinking they would be suffocated, but the
sight of the guns subdued them. and they
were forced to obey. Once inside the rob-
bers slammed the door upon them and ran
away.
The sides of the box were so thick that
the voices OF the imprisoned men could not
be heard through them. when they called
for assistance, while the four bodies made
the place greatly crowded. They began to
push against the door, but at first with no
success One of the Petersons is a very
large man, however. and BY throwing all
his weight upon the door with the rest
pushing with all their force. they finally
managed to break the latch and get the
door open. Once outside. they aroused the
police. but no trace of the robbers could
be discovered.
While the robbery was In progress the
lights in the saloon were burning brightly.
and any one entering teh place could have
seen what was going on. The men seemed
to be perfectly collected. and made no ef-
fort to conceal their features, The wonder
is that they were not observed from the
outside as a number Of persons were pass
ing along the street at the time.

AT JERRY DENNEHY's.

Jerry Donnehy. who keeps a grocery and
saloon at the corner OF Nineteenth and
O'Fallon streets. had a novel experience
with robbers early yesterday morning.
which made cold chill run down his spine.
Dennehy had opened his place early, as
there is usually a large trade on Saturday.
There were several customers. but about
o'clock the store was deserted except for
the proprietor. Denneby was standing at
the front door Of the grocery. which faces
on OFallon street. when three men came
along, who looked as though they were
going to work. As they reached the door
one Of them remarked. We can get that
here as well as anywhere Dennehy
opened the door and the men came in.
After walking back to the rear end of
the store, Dennehy turned to ask what
was wanted. and was confronted with the
muzzles Of three revolvers. held by three
very misunderstanding men. He was or
dered to hold UP his hands. the men mean
while cursing him for his slowness While
Dennehy stood, with two revolvers pointed
at his head. the third man rihed the cash
about SIS They then searched Dennehy for
a revolver. but overlooked so which he
had in his vest pocket. After being salts
fed that he was not armed he was marched
to the ice-box in the rear of the store, and
compelled to step inside. The door was
then locked on him. and the robbers went
away. After yelling for about ten minutes.
Dennehy's cries were heard by passing
negro. and he was released. nearly smoth-
cred.
While they were holding up Dennehy in
the saloon, a milkman stopped in front Of
eha dow and ~ he had looked in could
have seen them. The storekeeper could not
cry for help. as the men threatened to
blow out his brains II he did. Dennehy de-
scribes the leader as being dark, about s
feet inches tall. smooth faced and wearing
a black coat. Another wore a brown stifr
hat and was slightly taller than the 9TH
er. The other man he could not describe.
as his back was turned. description was
furnished to the police, who are working
on the case.
Less than a month ago four highwaymen
entered the grocery of John Hennessey,
Nineteenth and Biddle streets Just a block
south of Dennehy's place. held up -Aennes-
sey, who was alone in the store preparing to
close UP. secured 500 from him. and made
their escape. Dennehy and Hennessey are
great friends and Dennehy had been I'M
sparing In his chatting of Hennessey since
that time. He declared that nobody could
hold him up without getting hurt. and Hen
nessey just smiled and said nothing.
A police officer who is a friend of Dem
nehy's was around the grocery for several
hours yesterday morning, and had tust left
to go home for breakfast when the robbers
entered. Dennehy believes the highwaymen
were watching the place for several hours,
and as soon as the officer departed seized
their opportunity.
