highest points for the week, the under.
current throughout the whole market
continues to improve, and better and
broader markets are promised, the bank
statement was about as expected, and
while it was bad enough, tho market
stood 1t well, money rates continue
firm, but sentiment pertaining to the
Southern Pacific controversy has great
ly improved, better London market
and greater activity also has ten
dency to instill bull enthusiasm into
the crowd. The industrials were firm,
especially the United States Steel is
sues and they were literally bought
around 81 Ia and upwards ostensibly
for the account OF Morgan & 90.
There was also sharp inquiry for the

Council Refuses to Eliminate
Extra Appropriation.
$4,000 Included in the Apportion.
mont Ordinance That Was Fin
ally Passed.
LENGTHY DISCUSSION

The general council held an infor
NAL meeting last night at the city hall
for the purpose of discussing the APP
portionment ordinance. Councilman
Gibson and Alderman Chamblip were
absent.
The bone Of contention was the
$4,000 in the apportionment ordin-
anoe, intended to be used in building
several blocks of brick or asphalt
streets. There was the usual wrangle,
several oouncilmen, among them
Councilmen Fowler, Singleton and
Hannah, opposing the appropriation of
any amount for the improvements,
claiming that they should be made by
bond issue, and not by direct taxa
tion.
Some of the MEMBERS favored build
ing sidewalks at the same time the
streets are paved, while others opposed
it. The superstition is that property
owners will pay half Of the cost Of the
improvement, which will give the
city. with the $4,000 appropriated,
$50, 600 for additional brick or asphalt
streets.
An informal vote was taken to get
the sense Of the meeting, and all voted
for the $4,000 improvement except
Aldermen Singleton and Kirchoff and
Councilmen Hammer and Fowler.
The meeting then dissolved and
called meeting of the councilmanic
board was convened.
The spportionment ordinance and
was given final passage, Councilmen
Hannah and Fowler voting against it.

BANK ROBBERS RICH HAUL
They Get About SIS, 900 From the
Deposit Bank at Bardwell.

The bank robbers In this section of
the country made rich haul at Bavd-
we'll. Ballard county, this morning
about O'Clock when they skilfnlly
cracked the vault in tine Deposit bank
and got away with about $1,000.
News reached the city this NOR ming
early when Mr.. II. II. Loving of the
Globe Banking company, received a
telephone message asking him to noti-
fy the police here. Mr.. Loving found
ed the bank in 1894, and was cashier
Of it for four years.
Il seems that the robbers did as neat
a job ~ they could have wished.
They broke into the bank building.
and ii appears put an enormous charge
of nitro. glyccrine IN the vault. 1t
was completely wrecked, and the
charge was so heavy that some of the
currency was burned. It appears that
the people were not aroused by the ex.
plosion. and as . consequence the safe
blowers had no trouble in making
their escape.
1t was clean sweep. Every dollar
in the vault was taken. There was
%, 500 in currency and the remainder
in silver and gold, mostly silver. All
left was the fragments Of soae Of the
currency that had been burned.
Chief Of Police Collins was at once
notified, and thinks that the men must
have been the same gang who attempt.
ed to blow the vault of the Benton
bank few weeks ago. lie will al

work of catching the robbers.

WILLASK THAT MANDATE Be FILED AT ONCE

Mayor Yeiser this morning stated
that he would at once take the neces-
sary steps to have the mandate of
the court Of appeals in the Crow
Gilbert Injunction suits forwarded in
order that its provisions mybe enforced.
Unless this is done the mandate will
nos be ssnt here for thirty days. The
defendants, the city, has the privilege
OF asking for a new hearing in the
court of appeals, and thirty days are
allowed forthis. AT the end Of this
time. II noneis asked, the mandate
is forwarded aud the decision becomes

total loss at about $1,000 IN money,
but the exact amount had not yet
been figured mp. As it is not known
how much Of the money was ruined
by the explosion, it is impossible to
ascertain how much money the robbers
got away with.
The actual loss to the bank, howev.
or, will not be large, as it carries $5,
900 burglar insurance. and also insur.
ance on its safe. which is damaged to
the extent OF about $3.50.
The Bardwell banker stated that
there was absolutely no clue, as no
suspicious characters had been noticed
about Bardwell. IL Is not known
how many men there were, nor which
way they went. 1t is supposed that
there were at least three.
The bank has capital stock of $685.
900, and was not embarrassed today
in its business to any great extent, o.
the Peoples bank at Bsrdwell loaned
all the funds desired, and Paducah
banks offered them all they needed.
An effort was made to crack the
safe in the other bank, the Peoples,
in Bardwell year or two ago, and
the trimmings were blown Oft the
vault, but the robbers did not succeed
in blowing 1t.
That section of the state seems to BE-
a favorite one for bank and train rob
bers. Only few years ago an Iii
nois Central train was held up MOI
many miles away and robbed. As il
is easy to escape i'll that section. it Is
probable the robbers were far out o.
reach before the search for them be
gan. They may be captured by mean

Everybody in the injunction cases
seems to be satisfied, and Mayor Yei-
SER stated today that he would at once
have the mandate forwarded.
When this is received here it will be
filed in the circuit court, and become
the Judgment Of that court. Il will
therefore probably be several days be-
fore there are any changes in the sta
tus of the case here. Most of those
concerned have been waiting for the
mandate under the impression that II

THE FLOOD SITUATION.

Washington, March a1-The river
stage at Memphis is expected by the
weather bureau to remain about sta
tionary for few days. 1t is not an
ticipated that the rains in the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys will have much
effect. This rain will principally
pass through the Ohio. That river is
now falling and the precipitation will
have plenty Of room in it. The break
in the levee near Pecan Point will in
crease the food in Crittenden county,
Arkansas, and will flood the eastern
portions of the counties of Gross. ST.
Francis and Lee. The crevasse will
prolong the crest at Helena, but even
tually all the water in the st. Francis
basin will reach the Mississippi again
at Helena.
The weather bureau believe that
from Helena to vicksburg the stages
will be higher than was at first antic-
ipated The readings will be as fol.
lows;
