Burglary.

The residence of Rev. /. N. Woodward,
pastor of the M. E. church, was entered
by burglars Sunday evening while he was
holding the evening services at the
church. They gained entrance through
the cellar and up the stairs, and were
very bold in their work as all the electric
lights were turned on and the curtains
drawn. They must have been in the
house for some time as every drawer and
box In the house was ransacked and
things turned topsy turvy in the search
for valuables. A tin box in the study con-

LEROY BANK BURGLARlZED.
Bank at Leroy blown
open Thursday morning, rob-
Der securing SlO69.4O

The Exchange Bank, at Leroy, a
branch of Tifen Bank, of Garden Grove,
was entered by burglars about 2:l5
O'Clock last Thursday morning and the
safe blown open by nitro.glycerine, the
robbers securing $1O69.4O and making
their escape without leaving any traces
or being seen by any n The robbers
stole a sledge, chisels, brace and drills
from a blacksmith shop and gained
entrance to the building by raising a
back window. Once inside they opened
the inside doors by springing with a
chlsel so as to haye means for a rapid
escape. They broke the combination
of the outside vault doors off with a
sledge and then drilled a hole and blew
the outside door open. Once inside the
vault they drilled into the safe and blew
it open with nitro.glycerine, completely
wrecking the safe, the bolts of the door
being blown clear through the vault
door by the force of the explosion.
The robbers secured $l069.4 40, all the
money in the cash box, but overlooked
$500 in currency which a depositor had
brought to the bank a short time after
closing hours Wednesday evening. and
as the inside safe had been locked Cash.
Ter B. D. Barger placed the money in
the leaves of the ledger which was in
side the vault. 1t is said another de-
position, "a cattle buyer) had drawn
So, 1000 from the Tifen Bank at Garden
Grove and taken it to Leroy that after
noon to deposit in the bank, but when
he arrived tile bank was closed and kept
it elsewhere over night.
Citizens heard three loud explosions
and some of them went out on the
streets to discover the cause, but every
thing being quiet and no lights visible
In the bank OF elsewhere, they soon re-
turned to their slumbers and the rob-
berry was not discovered until the next
morning and the robbers had made
their escape without leaving any tail.
They are supposed to be the same gang
which blew open the bank at Arispie in
Union county a couple of weeks ago.
The loss to the bank will be about So, 900 |
and they carried no insurance. The
bank has a capital and surplus of $780, !
600, so the loss will not involve them,
and depositors will lose nothing.

The final official footing up of
the state assessment has been
made. The total for the whole
state is 1901, 215, 222, an increase
over last year of $24,555,S 15.
There was an increase in every
parish of the state except the
parish of Iberia. In Iberia there
was loss of S72,723 over the
previous assessment. This is ra-
tionally accounted for and means
no stigma upon that parish.
Dual and erroneous assessments
were found, which being correct
ed, left the total at the figures
given.
There were four of the country
parishes and three districts in
New Orleans that reached above
the million mark in there in

and the modified Schomburgk lines,
of which we heard SO much through
The year 1895, gave to England hold
upon the mouth of this stream that
would mean the blocking of the COM

1t has been generally conceded that
more common sense than documen-
tary evidence was used by the arbi-

this long-standing dispute, though

southeast until it again joins the
original line at Mount Enkenam, in
the Sierra Pacaraima range.
1t is evident that the court at
tempted simply to compromise, as it
seemed virtually impossible to settle
the case upon its merits, and in eff
fecting such compromise an effort
was made to follow natural boundary
lines as far as possible. This latter
fact will greatly aid the commissions
ers from the two countries who are
now erecting the boundary stones, as
there is but comparatively small
part of the long line that is not
marked by rivers.
1t is quite probable also that con-
siderable new and valuable informa-
tion regarding the resources of this
almost uneXplored and undeveloped
country may be ascertained by the
commissioners as they work their
way up the rivers. through the trop-
ical forests, and over the high noun
tain ranges.
The gold fields, which were sup
posed to have figured so prominent-
ly in the controversy, remain practice
ally as they We're. each government
retaining the fields which they have
been working for some years past,
with the exception of one locality
through which the original Schom-
burgk line ran that has now been
awarded to British Guiana. But it de-
prives England of the gold fields near
Guacipati which she claimed.
Venezuela has yet other boundary
disputes to settle, as but, few of her
boundaries have ever been definitely
fixed. Her claims of territory to the
south and west are sadly mixed with
those of Brazil, Colombia and Ecua-
dor, but it is not probable that these
claims will ever lead to serious diff
culties, as before the time arrives
when the disputed territory becomes
of sufficient value to fight over it is
