ROBBERS IN SALOON
BLEW OPEN SAFE BUT LEFT THu
MONEY,
the Loud Explosion Scared Pensacola
Thieves Who Are Believed tn
Have Been Amateur
Craekamen.

Pensacola, Fla. April 6.-(Special.)-
safe blowers attempted to blow the
safe in the saloon of Jack Adams ON
South Palafox street this morning
about o'clock.
The safe was completely wrecked
but the explosion was so heavy that
the robbers evidently became fright
ened and fled leaving $500 and a large
amount of jewelry.
Police officers two blocks distant
heard the report and began an inves-
tigation. The safe door was blown
completely across the building and the
concussion was so great that the show
cases and whiskey cases were shat
tered.
There is no clue to the robbers, but
1T is believed that the work was of
amateurs owing to the heavy explo-
sion.

New York Aug 16 These be par
lous times for the nobility in Little
Old New York" Here just in one
day S news we find two noblemen
getting into jail another getting in
to bankruptcy, a third getting the
mitten from wealthy widow and a
fourth listening to those wedding
bells" There's the Baron Egon Won
Nuvelly, who admits that he is a
former officer in the Austrian army
and member OF one OF the oldest
families in Vienna. The Baron has
been living in bachelor apartments in
West Eighty-first street. He's at the
Tombs now, still in bachelor apart
ments and living on the strictly
European plan That is, he picks out
just what he wants to eat and then
wants for 1t. One Henry Briner makes
allegation that the Baron came to
him, putting on airs and sidewhiskers
and got from him $500 by pretending
that he had money coming from Eur
ope, showing in proof thereof what
purported to be cablegrams from his
Austrian bankers. - Subsequently
Briner found that all was not right
The Baron said it was mistake.
Passing along to the next exhibit we
find the Count Won Lundberg Stirum
of Holland. The Count has more
name than that, but what's the use of
writing It out unless you're working
on space? The Count was pinched to-
day on the trifling charge of steal
ing diamond horseshoe worth $500
The Count Is in the Almanach de
Gotha and Burkes Peerage Division
OF the county jail awaiting a hearing.
Baron Fritz Won Bardeleben used to
be captain of Hussars in the Ger
man army. Lately he has been i'm
porting postal cards in Third street.
You'd think the postal card business
ought to be pretty pert because every
body who comes to town buys two or
three souvenir postcards anyhow; but
just the Same the Baron has had a
petition in bankruptcy jammed into
him. While we're on the subject of
nobility few words might be said
of the Duke Marlno Torlonia Of Rome
who will wed Miss Elsie Moore to-
morrow. A few days ago the bride
to-be announced that the wedding
would be simple rustic affair and
this statement Is now shown to be
correct, because the groom has pre-
sented Miss Moore with an Italian
castle and diamond necklace; her
parents have given them enough stuff
TO furnish large American plan ho-
tel and his family has forwarded a
diamond tiara that looks like the
cupola on the Crystal palace. 1t

to close these few lines without a
