Contrary to expectations the Buffalo,
Rochester Il Pittsburg Railway Co. is
making preparations to be relieved of the
restrictions of the two cent rate law. 1t
is estimated that suits in equity will be
filed in every county in the State ofPenn-
sylvania touched by its lines and that in
at least one of the cases the Supreme
Court will be appealed to. In confirma-
ton of this report bill in equity was
filed on Tuesday in the courts of Clear
field county by the compsny's attorneys,
Thomas II. Murray and G. II. McCauley.
1t has been the belief of many business
men that this railroad company, which is
liberal in its views and has heretofore
had the good will of tie traveller and
seemingly has been making money,
would not make any attempt to get from
under the provisions OF the 2-cent rate
law, but in this they were mistaken as

According to reports the potato crop
in this section of the country will be the
lightest in many years. The long dry
spell would, in the ordinary course of
events, be injurious to the potato crop,
but added to this there nas been blight,
making great ravages in the fields in
practically every part of the country.
The blight first made its appearance about
August l. The potato vines began to
wither and in short time many were
dead The potatoes, which in many fields
were just beginning to form, were stopped
in their growth, and the farmers say that
, potatoes will reach fabulous prices before
, next spring. 1t is not only this State that
} has suffered. In New York State the
potato crop is ruined and many owners of
, farms of over one hundred acres will be
} compelled to buy potatoes before next
} spring. The people who planted their
late potatoes very early are the only ones
/ who are shaking hands with themselves
: at present, for they will have full crop.
} Those who planted at the usual time will
not dig over their fields in many cases.

case has developed up 70 date, as
no clue seems 90 have been found
70 reveal anything.
The one thing that puzzles
everyone is THAI ihe robbers de

ing after getting the money.

building would have been entire

gave the terrible charge Of nitro |
glyeerine q chance Ia escape, and /
thus saved the building FROM to-
tai destruction.
A detective who was here
stated how he Thought the rob
bers got into the safe Ho thinks
they dug q hole through the
brick vault, and did all the work
from the inside, and states that
the doors could have been blown
OF in perfect safety TO the rob-
bers without their leaving the
vault.
The outside vault bad an ordi
nary combination lock. which
was undoubtedly blown ofi from
the inside, as the door was blown
outwards. The safe in the vault
had a time lock. which was worked
on the inside, leaving a smooth
surface on the outside OF the safe.
The money compartment inside
this safe was opened with a COM
bination. The other safe outside
the vault was not tampered with.
One Of the detectives here said
this robbery was almost exactly
like a case he had been on Ia los
Angeles, Cal, where the bandits
wrecked the entire building after
making their haul. That gang
was captured soon after, how.
ever.
The representatives of the IN
suranoe companies finished their
work Friday. and found the loss

This Is one Of the largest hauls
made by bank robbers in recent
years. The average amount se
cured runs abnut $1,000.
