ment of Diamonds.

ment Of Diamonds.
An expert criminal named Raymond
is described by Sir Robert Anderson as
a Napoleon of crime The plot which
he devised for the theft of diamonds
worth $450.000 and which lie carried
out with mastery forethought and
address is unrivaled
Diamonds were habitually sent from
Kimberley to the coast just in time to
catch the mail steamer for Europe.
Were the convoy delayed the gems
were locked up in the postofIice until
the next steamer left the harbor.
Raymond, profting by knowledge
of those simple facts. visited the port
of departure. He made friends with
the postmaster. learned his habits and
took wax impressions of his keys. He
then returned to Europe. leaving be-
hind him a memory of pleasant man
ners and good fellowship.
A few months later he was in Africa
again. disguised and unknown. He
made his way up country to the point
where the diamonds had to be carried
across a ferry on their way to the
coast. Unshipping the chain of the
ferry, he sent the boat downstream,
and the next convoy Of diamonds
missed the mail.
All that remained for Raymond to do
was to unlock the safe in the post
office and go off with the treasure
which by fine stroke of ironical hu-
NOR he presently sold to its rightful
owners in Hatton garden. This was
Raymond's masterpiece. e.-Blackwood's

Bessemer, April 5.-(Special. 1.-The pri- mary is now over and under the law it is time for the candidates to submit a written report of the cost of their cam paign to the probate judge It is not known how soon they will do this, but it is believed that all of the reports will be submitted within the next few days. This matter may have escaped the notice of some of them. Politics played several pranks here yesterday and as result there were a good many dsiappointments, while on the other hand there was a good spread of joy.
 The defeat of Mir Thomas in the Fourth ward was quite surprise and the fine run made by Street Superintendent Rat Tiff was also a surprise to a good many of his friends. The race for president of the council occasioned more talk than any other and it is hard for the friends of pr. Winter to figure out just how he managed to be defeated.
 It was known several days ago that Chief Wallace would defeat Frank Chill ders, and in speaking of that race this afternoon President Odeil of the Good Government club stated that he did not care to have it understood that Childers was a club candidate. He stated that Childers was not the choice of some oe the executive committee of the club. He worked for Childers, as dld several other of the leading members. but he said the club as body did not put Childers out for the race.
