One 1 passenger was shot, and the robbers es- J caped without leaving a clue of any kind as to their identity. The spot selecte 1 for tho robbery was near the Berwin avenue crossing of Evanston avenue, the latter thoroughfare being the one used by the North Shore Electric Street Railroad Company for its cars between the northern city limits and the suburban city of , Evanston. The ear makes fast time along this < stretch of run, and this trip had eighteen I passengers, two of whom were women. As i the car approached Berwin avenue, north i bound, the motorman noticed a srroup of 1 men stan lin? at the side of the track. At t the moment he noticed the men two of them S stepped out in front of the car and signaled t to stop. J tirw.? i- n af-onrlatill two of ' ??

Then it was noticed that the men wore masks, and their purpose was sns- t r*eot<?d. One of the robbers opened the front J door and said: ( "If you people behave yourselves and make 1 no noise you won't get hurt. But you've i got to keep quiet and give up what you've i got." I The robber's remarks were backed up by a revolver, ant the passengers were thinking about making resistance when the lights in the car went out. One of the robbers cut the i wire to prevent other cars from approaching. The darkness compelled the passengers to submit, and then the searching process was begun. The robbers were gallant enough to f let the women alone, but the men were well searched. 1 Among the male passengers was N. A. * Johnson, of Galesburg, III., who was robbed j of a watch worth $125. 0. E. Westman was j relieved of $6. Charles Fenbach lost $2, F. < V. Voltman lost a $63 watch and $45 in cash, g When the robbers came to T. P. Nesbitt, s of Evanston, he resisted. Drawing a revol- i ver from his pocket he attempted to use it. ] but one of the thievesstruck his arm and the f revolver fell. 1 As it did so the pistol was discharged a nd the Ouliet entered air. nnsoui's ni5ui mn, t making a painful but not dangerous wound. This endea all attempts at resistance. The conductor saved his money by dropping it down between the walls of the car at the window opening. Half an hour after it was all over a police officer saw four men driving south on Evaneton avenue, about a mile from the scene of the robbery. It was supposed that these four toon part in the hold-up. SHOT DEAD ON HIS BOAT. Rioting: Men Kill Captain Phillips and Fatally Wound His Son.

P It was a horrible sight that greeted the people of the wharf when the drifting boats nad been secured aud were again tied up. On the deok. in a pool of blood, was the father, and along the deck were streams and 1 blotches where the son had crawled along to the cabin. Every window in the cabin was broken, and the daughter was in hysterics over the body of ier murdered fathei. a Eleven men were arrested. n a Train Robbsrs Get Eighty-five Cents. n Six men held up the north-bound train on y the 8t.

Many Liven f.ost and Great Damage Done in the Tobacco District. Further details have been received of the loss of life and damage caused in Cuba by ;he heavy rains. Several localities in the fuelta Abajo, the great tobacco-growing iistrict. were inundated. It is known hat flftv-six persons were drowned, ind it was fearel that the number night be increased when the remote lamiets were heard from. The railroads in he district are heavy losers from the flood. Several bridges were carried away, and the racks in many places were washed out. Slanv houses were destroyed, and large fields )f tobacco were completely ruined by the orrents of water that poured over them, rhere is much suffering in the distriot. The Government has decided to extend aid 0 the victims of the flood, and has set aside J5000 for this purpose.

TEACHER DIES BY POISON. 1 Harvard College Instructor Expires Before His Class. Elliott A. Rogers, Instructor of Chemistry it Harvard College, Cambridge, Mass., disnissed his class in Boyleston Hall in his lsual manner, and turned towards an adoining room. A glass b?a'ter containing lome chemical was in his band, and in the >ther was a piece ot paper on which, as subsequently appeared, was written: "It is as it ihould be." Before the members of the class lad all passed through the aoor, Instructor Sogers uttered a groan and sank to the loor. His students rushed to his side to find lim dead. The tragedy is a dense mystery. None of he students knew what ohemical was in the ,'lass beaker that ne held In his hand when le closed the lecture. Nobody knows the ligniflcance of the words on the piece of japer which he held in the other hand. His riends scout the idea of suicide, and assert hat the vapor arising from the unknown hemioal must have effected his heart. Professor Rogers had everything to live or. Honor and distinction tn his chosen HTofessions were before him, and yet there cere circumstances which seemed to indi:ate that he took his own lite. SHE SWALLOWED A HORNET. ? >tun? Mr?. Walters on tlie Tonsil, Depriving Her of Speech. Mrs. Mary Walters, of Bridgeport, Coon., in accomplished vocalist and a member of in East Bridgeport church choir, was eating i pear when she swftllowei a hornet that had .lighted on the fruit. In going down her hroat the insect stung her on the tonsil. Great pain followed and in a short time he woman's throat had swollen so that it pas impossible for her to swallow. She was a great agony when Dr. James L. Bragg arived. About an hour after the hornet had tung her Mrs. Walters became very hoarse nd a short time afterward lost the power of peech. Her throat seemedparalyzed. Dr. tragg relieved her from pain, but her voioe lid not return. The swelling has gone down somewhat, ut the power of speech has not returned. >r. Bragg says he doe3 not expect a perlanent loss of speech, but considers the case lost remarkable and of great interest to the ledical fraternity. Only one similar case is ecalled, and that ooourred in the northern art of Connecticut several years ago. BIG ONYX DEPOSIT FOUND. .ocated in a California Mountain Believed Once to Have Been Submerged. Discovery of a great deposit of onyx lar'oie, far surpassing anything heretofore ound in the United States, has been made t Healdburg, Cal. It was not found in the liocene slates, common to the Coast Range, ut in jurasslc siatcs, similar to those of the fevada Mountains. The mountain is older ban those which bound it on the north and outh. The particular mountain which contains lie deposits evidently was an island of the 'aciflc in the prehistoric age. The samples f the beautiful stone exhibited created coniderable excitement at Healdburfr. The deosit forms a creat ledge or lode 600 feet wide nd extends along the crest of the mountain idge for a distance of 1600 feet, when it disppears beneath a body of ohrome iron ore 1 considerable extent. Blocks or columns f any required siz? and of any desired olor, from green and gold to purple and now white, can be obtained. THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AS A SEWER.
