4OId.Up Men at Large.

North Attleboro, Mass-The three
men who on Wednesday forenoon al
most succeeded in getting away with
the $4,000 payroll money Of G. X. Web
ster & Co., are still at large, and there
is little clew to their whereabouts.
The police have descriptions of them,
and the jewelry firm has offered a
reward of $500 for information that
will lead to the arrest and conVic'
ton OF any one of the three.
Young Arthur Greene, the concern S
office boy, who was struck over the
head with a blackjack when the
three robbers stopped him on his way
from the bank to the iewelry factory,
is in some pain from his wounds, one
of which required four stitches by
Dr. H. s. Kilby. He is not seriously
hurt.
As is the usual custom each pay
day. Greene was sent to the jewelers.

which to pay the help He secured
the money, a little more than $4,000,
placed the package under his coat,
and then started on his bicycle for
the factory.
At the corner of Bank street the
young man was suddenly confronted
by three strangers, who ordered him
to dismount from the wheel. One man
leveled q revolver at him with threats
to shoot, while a second man struck
him a severe blow on the head with
a blackjack. The third man grabbed
him by the throat.
Greene is a pluclly young man of IS,
and he made a strong resistance. The
men got the package from him, how
ever.
In a few seconds there was q large
party chasing the ROBBERS. Realizing
that they were being pursued, the
men boarded a Pawtucketbound elec,
trio car, at the same time throwing
the package of money into hedge by
the roadside.
The money was there found, none
of the bills having been disturbed.
The robbers kept on the car for a
short distance, and then jumped off
and made their escape in some thick
woods.
Thomas Coleman of this town says
he saw two of the thugs in the Adams
house at Pawtucket later Mr.. Cole
man got glimpse of the robbers here.
He rushed from the place and notified
two policemen. Upon their return TO

Only Insane During Act.

New York-A decision has been
reached by the attorneys for Harry K.
Thaw that Thaw's defence to the
charge of killing Stanford White will
be a plea of emotional insanity This
will include as part of the defence
the declaration that Thaw's insanity
existed only until after White was
killed and that Thaw is now sane again
and has been since the killing.
The decision to make this plea was
reached after the reports of two
alienists who visited Thaw in the

Hayana.-The situation is becoming
hourly more critical. The insurgent
bands are multiplying and recruiting.
spreading the revolutionary spirit over
the four western provinces of the Is
land being more general in the Vuelta
Abaio district,
the situation on Monday was dis
cussed with leyity, but it now eXcites
deep concern. 1t is quite evident that
the insurrectiOn was carefully planned
for months. Simultaneous uprisings
throughout the four provinces, cover
ing 800 miles Of well equipped bands,
followed by the arrest of the supposed
leaders, indicate a we'll formed plot.
1t was precipitated by the secret
service discovery Of the conspiracy,
and the leaders flashed signal warn.

partially warned 10 days since by the
arrest of Charles Blascow, who it is
alleged, sold explosives to the conspir.
ators Blascow gave bonds and sailed
the same day for New York.
Since then the stock of explosive
material has been confiscated by the
government.
The insurgents include mayors Of
several towns, two provincial council
men, an ex-governor of Pinar del Rio
province, men of influence, but not
heavyweights.

posts deserted to the insurgents, like
wise many police in the small towns,

government is suppressing all news

only the prompt action of Capt. Duuue
Estrada and the immediate pursuit
made the recovery of the amin. Is
possible. After pursuit for 10 miles,

Another party attempted to stamnede
the horses in the stables a mile and d
half from the presidents palace, eX,
changing shots with the police in the
heart of the city.

band, which captured the town. Nine
rural guards of that post escaped,
reaching Pinar del Rio hatless. It is
not known whether the remaining

HARD HIT IN MARKET.
Brokerage Concern with Three Hun
dred Offices Closes Up.

New York, N. Y.-Three hundred
brokerage offices in the east and south
comprising the "Al" Adams chain OF
bucket shops, which have been operat-
ing under the name Of Nj. j. Sage &
Co., will close up, wiped out by the
great rise in stocks.
The parent house at l Montgomery
street, Jersey City, was the scene re-
Gently of a conference at which ar
langements for an assignment were
discussed.
The bull market of last week and
the tremendous advance of Union and
Southern Pacific hit Adams, the for
mer policy king and Sing Sing CON
Wet, so hard that he notified his buck
ct shop representatives that no fur
ther advances could be expected from
him. His losses on the street" last
week were nearly $50O,000.
What M. j. Sage & Co. lost will
only be known when the extent OF
their liabilities to their 245,OOO Gus
toners comes out
1t is estimated that the losses to
bucket shops and customers together
will reach $2,OOOOOO or $3,OOO,OOO.
William Beverly, who has been chief
clerk in the offices in Jersey City, will
probably be named assignee. Maurice
j. Sage, f. l.. Bradbury and c. w,
Cannon, the managers Of the concern,
already are discussing the formation
Of new company and the advisable
ity of Offering stock for sale.
Albert j, Adams, when he came out
Of Sing Sing, started Maurice j. Sage
at the head of the bucket shop chain
and also paid Sl,O00,000 for mine in
Mexico and advertised its stock fol
sale. His full-page advertisements
contained the line that the fact tina!
the president Of this company Is Mr.
Albert j. Adams Is a guarantee of its
stability and success"
No such certificate was used in at,
tracing business to the Sage shops
but word was given out that "Al
Adams was their backer, and the Of
fees have monopolized the bucket shOI
business Of scores of cities.
l asst year when the slumps of the
early summer and fall came the firm
of n. j. Sage & Co., lost nearly $2,-
100000, but it never defaulted in pay
ment of its customers, and the fact
doubled it's business. 1t was "in
right" on the cotton market during tbs
great price movement and nearly re
couped it's losses Of 1905
Adams ran the bucket shop game
Just as he did the policy game in tbs
olden days, with this one difference
that in policy he fixed the drawings
to suit himself, but in the new game hs
had to take the chances of the mar.
ket quotations.
