PACIFIC EXPRESS SAFE LOOTED.
stolen from Train on the Wabash


Railroad and Contents Taken.
Toledo, o. June 21.-Yesterday after
noon several fishermen, while strolling
along the river two miles south of the
city, discovered large iron safe. on
which was the name of the Pacific Ex-
press company. The door had appar-
emily bee, battered in with a hammer,
such as is used in cutting large pieces
of iron. On the inside were number
of empty money bags and way bills.
The men at once reported it to the po-
lice. and the local officers Of the express
company were also notified. The agent
Frank G.. Benedict. was out of the city.
and the clerks refused to make any
statement However, they identified the
safe as being the property Of the COM
pany. They stated that such safe
was sent out Of this city Tuesday night
In a thru car on the Wabash for St
Louis and Omaha, but declined to say
anything as to what 1t contained. There
were six money bags in the safe when
found, and four of them We're marked
ST. Louis, while the other two We're
marked Omaha. They do not Indicate
what their contents might have been.
1t is believed. however that the safe
was stolen Wednesday, night, because of
the fact that near the place where the
safe was founo a horse and buggy
which had been stolen the previous eve
ming were also found, and grocery
store located about half mile distant
was robbed last night. 1t is believed
that the men hauled the safe in this rig.
There is a runlor this evening that the
safe contained $4,000 In gold, but this
has not as yet been confirmed

NOT A CASE OF LUCK.
Comstock Lode Discovered After
Hard Work aud Perseverance.

a store. They were James L. Flood and
William O'Brien. They had saved some
money after few years OF trading with

of the mines aud had faith in Mackny

their store one morning and remarked.

up the money, Fair and will put up the
brains. and ! think the four of us can buy
the Con Virginia and make something
out of it,
How much do you want JohnY' said
Flood.
Eighty thousand dollars"
The deal was closed on the spot. The
history Of the Con Virginia is as well
known almost as the story of Washing
ton and the cherry tree. Before the four
miners had struck the lead they had ex-
hausted their money and their credit.
There seemed to be nothing in the rock
they brought out of the earth. Other min
crs met them day after day and laughed
at their apparently hopeless task They
were jeered aud made fun Of. But they
kept serious faces and sober minds and
were not to be thwarted By the idle talk
OF idlers.

The four partners did not lose their
grit. nor did they rely on luck. One after
noon the rumor spread over Virginia City
that the 9 Con Virginia mem had struck
a body of ore. 1t spread as wildiire often
swept over the Nevada prairies. The four
men left their mine at sundown and
walked down C street amid babel Of
cheers. The next morning the Consolidat-
ed Virginia stock had gone from so cents
to $3.50 a share and in another day up to
$500 share. In three days it was an

There was cancer In "a families; con-
sumption in 05 families: govt in 80 fami-
lies: rheumatism In 30 families; insanity
in l3 families: apoplexy and paralysis in
40 families.
Thus there was history Of deadly dis
eases in the families of 25S of the old peo-
pie. In Al more families there was like
wise some grave disease. And only 30
families were free. or said to be free,
