sUB-TREAsUURY ROBBED.
Sum Of $4,000 Disappears at Chicago
and Clerks Suspected.

Chicago.-The Tribune says
One Of the largest-if not the largest
-thefts from the United States treas
ury has been unearthed in Chicago.
There was theft of $173.O0O from the
local sub-treasury last week. The
money has disappeared as completely
As IL 1t had vanished from the face OF
the earth.
The authorities here and in Wash
ington have been working night and
day on the robbery since it was dis
covered.
Chief Wilkie of the United States Sc
cret service has been keeping in
formed by telephone and telegraph of
every development, and he will leave
Washington to-day to take personal
charge of the investigation.
Secretary Shaw of the Treasury De-
partment was told of the gigantic theft
when in Chicago last week and was in
conference with Sub-Treasurer William
BOldenwick and secret service officials.
The money was stolen either week
ago Saturday, the next day, or last
Monday. The chances are it was alb
stracted Monday. The loss was dis
covered Tuesday.
All the money taken was in bills Of
the denomination of $1,000, $4,000 and
$4,000.
After a week of searching investiga-
ton, Saturday there came a glimmer
of light. A faint clew pointed in the
direction of certain clerk, and that,
following up, directed the finger of sus-
picion to another employe, close as
sociate of the first man.
These men were summoned into the
inquisition chamber and one at last
broke down.
Among those under surveillance is
George w. Fitzgerald, who was in
charge of the teller's cage from which
the money was distracted, but he in
sists he has no knowledge of how the
money disappeared. Fitzgerald, in a
statement tonight, said he thought
some of the employees had stolen the
money. He declared it would have
been an easy matter for any of the
twenty-five Or thirty employees, who un-
der the present system have daily ac-
cess to his cage, to make away with
tn. money without his knowledge.

BAD WRECK BUT NO DEATHS.
Miraculous Escape Of Passengers In
Pennsylvania.

Johnstown, Pa.-When the Pennsyl.
vaIia special, the famous eighteen hour
New York-Chicago train of the Penn
sylVania railroad, was wrecked at
Mineral Point, seven miles east of
here, at midnight Friday, none of the
passengers were killed, and but one
probably fatally injured The train
crew also escaped serious injury. Prac-
tically all OF the fifty-four passengers
upon the train were more or less hurt.
The escape of the occupants OF the
train from death seemed little less
than miraculous. The train was run
ming at the speed of more than fifty
miles an hour when the last three cars
of the train, Pullman sleepers. sud-
denly left he rail. They turned over
twice and then slid down the sixty-foot
embankment into the Conemaugh
river. The cars went through the heavy
ice, but there was so little water in the
river that there was no danger OF
drowning.
The wreck, 1t is thought, was caused
by the dropping of the brake rigging
upon the first sleeper following the To-
comotive and combination car. The
rigging lodged under a tie, derailing
the following cars. The locomotive
and combination car remained upon
the track.
Relief trains were at once dis
patched from Johnstown, Altoona and
Pittsburg. Eight injured ones were
taken to the Altoona hospital and four
were sent to Pittsburg. The other pas
sengers with insufficient clothing. shiv-
ering, many with nothing to cover
them but blankets and bed clothing,
were also sent to Pittsburg. The rail
road company supplied them with food,
medicine and clothing and sent them
on west on a special train.

This was the opinion of past aster

Times Recorder readers that they may
dig their overcoats out of the moth balls

But even the fatefuI full moon will
not cause much trouble.
The great peach orchards about
Americus are gorgeous in their wealth
and beauty of blooms, and the pros
pect for an abundant crop was never
brighter With continued favorable
weather the peach crop this year will
be the finest grown in this section.
Mr.. +. $. Broadhurst, who owns one
of the finest orchards about Americus,
stated to the Times Recorder yesterday,
IN answer to inquiry, that the prospect
was never brighter at this time.
IF | get one peach for every ten
blooms now upon the trees | will be
well satisfied" said Mr.. Broadhurst.
The blooms are abundant,and the pink
reflected upon the white boughs, made
immaculate by spraying, gives beaut-
iful effect indeed
so, escaping any cold weather on the
full moon next Friday, the fruit crop
IN this section will be safe.
