and Desperate Fight is
the Result.

PITTSBURG, April S0.-Five burglars
blew open the safe in Daub & Pressler s
grocery store, Craft avenue, Grafton, Pa.
at 1880 o'clock this morning
The explosion aroused the citizens and a
desperate fight ensued between the officers,
the citizens and the thieves. Oficer
Thomas Westcott was shot through the
leg and Off1cer William NJ. Peak was struck
ON the head with a heavy chisel. The
latter's condition is serious.
The burglars finally escaped with the cash
box containing about $50. They went to-
ward the Steubenville pike. with a score
Of citizens at their heels. When last
heard from the burglars had not been cap
tured.
There is apparently little doubt that the
thieves are the same who have been operat-
ing in this vicinity for the past few weeks
and who shot Engineer Frank Stump Of
the Pittsburg & Western railroad, near
Millvale. on Monday morning.
Later three OF the burglars were cap
tured and identified by Oficer Westcott.
Joseph Sullivan, believed to be the leader
OF the gang, was caught while swimming

DELAREY STORY is DENIED

LONDON, April S0-There is no truth In
the report circulated in the United States
today that General Delarey. with three
Boer commands, has surrendered to the
British in South Africa.
The War once received dispatches from
Lord Kitchener today, but he made no
mention Of surrenders.
Operators on the Stock exchange were
busy with peace rumors, but they were all
very Intangible. The Boer commandos
were said to have surrendered. This later
was supplemented by the New York report
that General Delarey and three commandos
had given themselves up. As a matter OF
fact, Delarey arrived at Klerksdorp April

ROME, April 3O.-The officers Of the

An application for their discharge has been
rejected. The Italian law does not allow

toms explanatory cablegram, showing that
resistance to the police officers was clearly
the result OF a misunderstanding and was
not deliberate offense, has done much to
strengthen the interest Of the oficials here
in their case.
Secretary Hay has communicated by ca
Bile with Mr.. Meyer, the United States am

are hoped for. 1t is realized that the case
is one requiring very delicate handling to
avoid wounding Italian pride, but the belief
prevails that the Italian government will
respond in a magnanimous spirit to an
open appeal for clemency for the young
oficers.

DOines OF the Mines.

Owing to recent cut in wages at the
Copper Fiat mines, everything, save
the pumps, has been in idleness the
past week, and will probably remain so
until such time as the trouble is salts

and it's employees. In the meantime
work upon tho smelter at the Keystone
is being pushed as rapidly as the wealth

At Pilot Knob a great deal of system
attic development work is being quietly
pushed on the different drifts from the
300 level of the Giroux shaft, with the
most encouraging results. Several

weeks, the future OF that property is
no longer in doubt by the most disbe'
lieving in the camp.
At the Mckinley Cos Saxton, work
and developments are necessarily slow
on account of the formation the pres
ent workings are in, but indications are
promising the existence OF still larger
bodies of ore than any heretofore OPEN
ed up, aud next week may witness dis
