United States across the st. Lawrence
river, flying over Brockville at 1870

Both machines were described as
carrying searchlights directed upoa

lings, farmer, said one of the aero
planes flew only tigty feet above her.
Both went over Brockville, the police
assert, on the way back to the United
States. Persons living in Bellamy, on
the Canadian-Pacific railroad north of
Brockville, saw flashes in the sky they
thought was lightning, the police as
sert. The report that fireball was
dropped on Brockviile was denied to-

Florida Flyer last night near Alex

The robbery was not discovered I'M
til the train reached Richmond, where
express officials entered the car and
noted the absence of the big safe, used
occasionally to transport large sums
of money, but which was completely
empty last night, owing to the failure
of an expected consignment of money
to arrive in time to be despatched
south. The empty safe, blown open
and badly damaged was located by
officers searching for the robbers near
where it was rolled out of the door of
the flying car.
