Away So Easily.
Chicago. July 21.-News of the dis
appearance of nearly $4,000 from the
vaults of the Masonic Temple Safety
Deposit Company last Saturday had
spread to such an extent to-day that
it caused run" on the vaults. When
the day vaults were opened for bus
mess there was a struggling crowd
of men and women depositors in wait
ing who feared for moneys and val
uabIes that they had deposited in the
company's strong boxes. For a time
there was almost a panic in the crowd.
The office force of the deposit company
was unable to cope with the great de-
mand for verification of signatures,
and in the vaults the turnkeys for
several hours were unable to open
boxes fast enough to keep down the
crowd.
The police have secured no clues as
yet to the disappearance of the cur
rency belonging to the race track men.
The management still SCOTS at the
idea that the money has been stolen,
but the police take the booknakers'
statements as the truth. They said
to-day that it would have been a very
easy matter to secure duplicate keys
and. to have pilfered the boxes.

KENTUCKY FEUD'S VICTIM.
James CockrilI Shot by Hargis Par
tizans Mt Jackson.

Jackson, KY, July 21,-Town Marshal
James Cockrill was fatally shot from
a secondstory window of the Court
House this afternoon by unknown par
ties. There were six shots, two hit
ting Cockrill as he passed along Main
street. James Cockrill is a brother of
Thomas Cockrill, whose trial in Breat-
HIT county for killing Gen. Hargis, has
revived a desperate feud.
The feud between the Cockrill and
the Hargis factions has demoralized
Breathitt county for a long time. The
officers and even the courts are held
in defiance and the governor has been
repeatedly appealed to for assistance.
The shooting of Cockrill to-day has
caused as much local excitement for
the time being as the shooting of Gov.
Goebel from the upper story window
of the state house at Frankfort, all
most three years ago.
The fractional feeling is intense. The
friends of Cockrill say the shooting
was part of a conspiracy on the part
of the Hargis men.

the goldbea tiers formerly received 80
cents. The beaters, he claims, can
earn only S12 to SIS a week. They de-
mand the discharge of the women fill
ers and that their work be given to the

The widow of the Marquis de Mores,
whose perseverance led to a thorough
investigation of the affair." has been at
SuSa for the last three days awaiting
the trial. She offered a reward of 81
coo francs for the arrest of the princi-
pal assassin. The widow blames the
government for not taking proper
measures for the safety of the Mar
quis, which, she asserts, was tanta-
mount to inviting the massacre of his
party.
At the opening of the proceedings
this morning Ell Kheir denied his guilt
and thanked the court for being tried
by Frenchmen. He spoke and gesticu-
lated with such vigor that those in
court who did not understand Arabic
thought he was in a fury.
The trial is expected to last a week.
Both prisoners rose and saluted the
widow in military fashion when she
entered the courtroom.
The Marquis de Mores was killed
in 1896 in the Soudan, where, it has
been asserted, he had gone to enlist
the Arab chiefs against the British.
He and his party were attacked by
a band of tribesmen, and all save a
few of the thirty-six in the expedition
were killed.
The journey of the Marquis, it was
officially stated, was part of his plan
to extend French commerce by divert
ing the route of the caravans from
Tripoli to Gabes.

The survey of the proposed electric
railway. connecting the Augusta. Win
thrOp & Gardiner Railway at TOgus
with the Rockland. ThomastOn & Cam
der railway at Warren. is practically
completed. Two routes have been sur
veyed, one by the way of CoOper's
Mills and the other through North
Whitefield into East Jefferson. South
jefferson. North WaldObOrO and thence
to Warren. but the promoters of the
enterprise nave not vet decided which
route will be selected. The Cooper S
Mills route brings the road nearer
Washington than does the North
whitefield way. Both surveys con-
template touching the two Jefferson
villages. but neither figures on coming
within less than three miles of Wash
ington Mills. Although nothing def
mite can now be stated in regard to the
building of the road, it is safe to say
that the chances are in favor of its
construction next year. The distance
by either route selected is about ~
miles.
