A daring highwayman at o'clock
last night held up ]. ]. Lynch, clerk
in the grocery of Shomer Bros, 1898
Hayes street, at the point OF a re-
volver. and compelled him to hand
over the proceeds of the cash regis
ter, which totaled $40.
Lynch was alone in the store when
the thug entered. Empty that cash
register" was the curt demand of the
desperate. Lynch complied, and
threw $40 on the counter.
THAT stuff don't go with me-" de-
clsred the man. He ordered Lynch to
place the gold pieces in his hand,
which Lynch did.
After the highwayman had placed
the money in his pocket he again
brought his gun into play and told
the clerk to march from behind the
counter and walk ahead of him out of
the store.
Marching his victim up Clayton
street, near Grove street, the thug
suddenly stopped and, touching the
gun to Lynch's side, warned him not
to make an outcry. Suddenly the
man ran west on Grove street and
disappeared.
The detectives failed to find the
man after being rushed TO the scene
in a police auto.

MILLION YARDS DIRT
SLIDE BURIES TRAIN
IN PANAMA DITCH

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.-A sigantis
slide in the Culebra cut Of the Panama
canal took place on Monday night, ac-
cording to a report received by the war
department today The report says
that more than 100000 additional Gu
bic yards of earth will have to be re-
moved from the cut as result of the
slide, which buried a train of ears. TWO
steam shoveIs and "A large amount of
railway apparatus. No one was hurt.
While the cause Of the slide has not
been reported to the department. it s
thought here that some OF the big steam
shovels had dug too far into the east
bank Of the canal when the mouth Of
Gold Hill suddenly descended burying
the apparatus
In ADDITION TO the earth actually in .
Guided in the slide. the bluff which
broke away served to prevent the
movement into the cut of the miniature
mountain of clay which now undoubt-
eddy was forced into the excavation,
thus increasing the difficulty of clear
ing the way for the actual construction
of the canal
There are indications that the "Pur-
pie Hill which guarded the Cucuracha
cut. has been weakened on its north
face by this break and should this small
hill break away and come into the cut
ii probably will release between half a
million and a million cubic yards Of
clay. in addition to that already pre-
clpitated into the cut.
