ROBBERY OF THE SPECIE Room
OF THE KAISER WILHELM
DER CROSSE.
C0mPANY'S OFFICIAL STORY
announce That Three Bars Of Gold,
Valued at $22, $50, Were Stolen From
the Strong Room Of the Vessel eo
tween New York and CherbournL
Have No Particulars as Vet How tltk
Robbery Was Accumulated.
Robbery Was Accomplished.

New York. April 1.-THE robbery
at sea OF the specie room Of the North
German Lloyd liner Wilhelm der
Crosse still remains a mysteriouo
crime. Neither the gold bullion or the
men who took it have been located.
Three bars of gold. aggregating in
value $22,75O, shipped by the National
City bank OF New York were stolen
from cask No. Of the specie room
somewhere between this port and
Cherbourg. The advices to Oelrichs
4 Co., agents for the company, came
in German and on the point as to
whether the specie room was broken
open or entered by beating the lock
admits of translation either way. The
specie room of the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse is iron bound and almost as
strong as vault Its door was secur-
ed by a patent lock for which there
were but two keys. One of the keys
was kept by the chief officer, the
other by the purser.
The bars Of gold were packed In
oak casks bound with iron hoops.
Thousands of dollars in gold were
within the reach of the man who
forced his way into the strong room,
but only the sum named was taken.
At the office of the North German
Lloyd this statement was given to the
Associated Press:
Three bars of gold. valued at S22.-
$50. were taken from the specie room
OF the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse.
We have no idea as to how the rob-
berry was accomplished. Our advices
are brief and do not show how the
room was entered. The gold was ship
ped by the National City bank Of New
York. We understand il was insured.
but the question of responsibility will
be passed upon later. We have not
recovered the gold and this Office has
no knowledge of the thieves. The
specie room is a strong safe one. Sc
cured by a patent lock. to which there
were but two keys. The chief officer
kept one key. the purser the other.
We will make every possible effort 70
recover the money and catch the
thieves"

One of the most remarkable breach OF promise
cases that have ever been brought before the
courts is about to be tried in Athens, writes
our correspondent
The plaintiff, young woman rom the village
Of MarcopOue, some thirty-fve miles from
Athens bases her claims upon ancient custom
OF the village, which, it is held, will influence
the jury in her favor.
The custom, which has the force Of law in
the village, is as follows: On certain fete days
the villagers assemble on the greer, when dane
ing is INDUCED in. ANY girl wishing TO marry
drops her handkerchief, and the swain who
picks it up is bound TO marry her.
In the case in question, the young man, who
picked up the handkerchief by accident, had
never seen the girl before.
When acclaimed by the assembled villagers as
the prospective husband OF the girl, he demurrcd;
hence the action at law.
The young girl IS decidedly: good-loOkinG, and
his lack of taste in not taking her for bride
is much commented on in the village.
