Five armed and misked men held up an
electric car on the outskirts of Chicago. 111.,
between 8 and 9 o'clock p. m.: and robbed ,
the passengers in train robber fashion. 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

the robbers stepped upon the front platform t
and three ascended the steps to the rear '
plat form. 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.

THE FLOODS IN CUBA.
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. Ia addition to this
>ne day's civil or military pay will be alowed
to each of the sufferers. Private charty
is also active, and in Havana several
jrominent men subscribed $10,810 for relief

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.
