WEATHER FOR MAY.
st. Louis Forecaster Predicts Fierce
Storms, Shows and Frosts.

May is to be continuous perform
ance of tornadoes, thunderstorms, hail
and frost. Rev. Iri r. Hicks has hung
out the danger signals in his long-dis-
lance forecasts for the month, and
trouble is feared by those who have
faith in his representations.
Violent thunderstorms, approaching
tornado violence in the West, heavy
rains and hail, followed by snow
squalls and sleet, are among the things
predicted.
Careful watching is advised by the
st. Louis prognosticator early in the
month as frost is due. High tempera-
ture, daily rains and thylnderstorms,
with probable tornadoes, is on the
menu for the 18th to the 10th, and
floods over wide sections follow imme-
diately. Much cooler weather is due
from the 10th to the 10Th. From the
10Th to the 22d is not seriously threat
ening, but look out for tornadoes, says
Mr.. Hicks.
Quiet and calm and much warmer
until the oath will usher in the most
dangerous period of the month, and
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the
25th, Goth and 9th, storms may be eX
pected to become very threatening, if
not tornado The 9th is the twelfth
anniversary of the st. Louis cyclone.
The danger area extends over the cen
trail and western parts of the country.

possible, from the 9th to the 31st.

MYSTERY IN EXPRESS ROBBERY
.anndits' BOOTY on Pennsylvanfa Be-
Heved to Have Been Large.


Heved to Have been Large.
When the st. Louis express on the
Pennsylvania railroad, which was held
up Thursday night ten miles west Of
Pittsburg, arrived in Columbus Ohio, the
crew gave an account of the holdup by
two men at Walkers Mill and Of the ban
dts escape with four sealed bags con-
tanning mail. The crew states that
number of express packages and guam
tity of gold bullion were taken, but the
value of the property is not known. Ad-
ans Express Company officials refuse TO
make a statement 1t is believed that the
booty is of great value and that 1t may
exceed the estimate of $4,000 sent out
from Pittsburg. Noah ii. Roshon OF Co
1umbus, tn express messenger, states that
the two men entered his car east OF Walk
ers Mill and covered him with revolvers.
Then they tied him with ropes they
brought with them and rifed the car. As
the train approached Walkers Mill they
pulled the signal cord and escaped when
the train slowed up. Conductor Lafferty
states that he knew nothing about the
robbery until he heard the signal to stop,
which came from the express car. lie
saw no one leaving the train, but hurried
10 the express car as soon as the slowing
down began The contents of the bags
were scattered and he found Roshon on
the floor, bound so that he was helpless.
Messenger Roshon has been in the en-
ployment of the Adams Express about
nine years Previous to that he was
conductor on the Panhandle road. He IS
53 years old and lives with his wife and
one son.

NEW YORK.

Improved weather conditions and ex-
cellent crop reports throughout the great
er part of the country, coupled with the
favorable construction put upon recent
financial developments, have made for
the growth of a better feeling as regards
the outlook, but the actual effect upon
distributive trade and industry is as yet
of the slightest. Some gain is reported in
few sections, notably the South and
central West, in retail trade, but at the
South retail business since Easter is
rather quieter, and Easter trade as a
whole was not up to expectations. Some
enlargements in filling-in orders by job
bers is noted, and few western points
report slightly more buying for fall de-
livery, but hesitancy and conservatism
rule operations to an extent not approach
ed in recent years. Textiles are very
much depressed, though weather and crop
reports are harbingers of hope fer the
future and short time is well-nigh univer-
sal, North and South. The shoe trade
reports more orders, especially at leading
western markets. but business is hardly
up to expectations.
