A seiiHiitionul rulilicry which, netted the perpetrators S74,lilU in plump was discovered here viHtcrchi when the wholesiile stump de partment of the piiHtollne was opened for bu.sitie)4S. lnveHtiiitiou developed the fnct that the burghirs had crawled miller the Uooriiig for nhont 'MM feet, billed n hole in the hot ti m of the vniilt, xecurril the stamps and escaped, currying their limit v in u wngon. The work of forming an entrance tu the vniilt hnil evidently been going for wurd with the greatest patience for many iliiys. It is Is'lieved, however, that the intention of the thieves hud been to cuter the ctiNhier's vniilt, in whieti there was ;;.", (XXI in money iiiul stamtis valued nt hundreds of thousands of dol lars. The bottom of the vault is of steel, halt of un inch through. In this 1 17 holes were bored until a spnee IS inches souari had been so weakened thul it i..silile to take out the whole plate witn little difficulty. A drygonds box stood over the hole thus made mid con ceulnl the work of the robbers while it was in progress. So carefully had the Hellenic been planned that men working in oilier parts of the building had not the slightest inkling of the daring role liery being worked almost under their Hoses. The rohlM'ra drove up to the postotlii-e building in a wagon, the traeks of which ron I.I still be seen plainly. The building is n temporary affair mid the men luid only to open a little door to admit them selves under the flooring. To reach the rnult It was necessary to crawl nliont III HI feet ever odds and ends of Isianls which littered the way. The route evidently had been carefully studied, for a detective who went under yesterday, without knowledge of loca tions heenme lost and was nearly over come by the foul odors before assist ance reached him. Of the $74.1110 In stamps ta'..eu $1,712 were in "postage-due" stamps and $2, (HK) in special dclhery stumps. So the convertible stamps imionntcd to $ii.S2H, but of these $l.K'.'S were Pan-American stamps of Sc and 10c denominations. LOWELL BANK LOST $115,000 Much llimty Kaitarneil by Mlulnx Km plnvrs Ielctlve on the Trail. LOWELL, Mass.. Oct. 22. The finan cial troubles which had caused great sus pense to the ollieers of the Merchants' National bank for three days owing to the disappearance of its teller, Alliert (. Smith, and its bookkeeper, Lewis II. Swift, practically have been smoothed out. The bank has lost nlmit $n.",(R)l). The directors ntlicially state this nnd at the same time say that they have re turned valuable securities." The short age is represented by the discrepancies on the Isioks extending over two years, with the amount which it is understood has lHcn returned by the two men lu agreeing to return the securities. These "vnluiibe securities," as de scribed by one director, were returned in carpet bugs and represented bonds, notes nnd other negotiable papers and big bunches of money, all supposed to have heeii taken from the bank vault just prior to the time the men disappeared on 1 hnrsilay nit-ht. Interest for the moment centers in the pursuit of Smith and Swift and it is un derstood that l uitcd States officers had found, near this city, the men's hiding place. An imniedi.ite arrest Is expected without regard tn the probable inaction nf the bank directors. From the fnct Hint the lawyers who negotiated what appears to have Iss-n an agreement at settlement were ill Boston Sunday and with them was Pircctor Atuasa l'ritt it is generally believed the men were In Boston until yesterday morning and that they are now some distance away. Smith had corresponded with Montreal parties did It is thought he has gone there. The loot from the bank vault was re turned in cornet bags nnd delivered at the luink very early yesterday morning after the bank directors had been in con ference nt a hotel with lawyers John C. Burke nf this city and Charles V. Bart lett of Boston, representing the men. The bank for three days has been be sieged by customers but in every case accounts were found to lw correct. Smith was under $.i(MHK) bond, but Swift, as Isiokkceper, was not supposed to handle money nnd so was not bonded. Several nf the directors have stated that they do not expect Smith or Swift to return here. Kodak Trtmt Now Talked Of.

Tunnel disaster In Mew York Resulted In Five Deaths. NE;V YOUIv Oct. 19. Five men were killed uud two injured yesterday when an enormous mass of rock caved in from the side and roof of the rapid transit tunnel, in course of construction, on Broadway, about the Hue of 104th street, in this city. The section of the tunnel where the cave-in occurred is 105 feet below the surface. A shaft leads to the tunnel and from the shaft headings extend north and south, each being about 700 feet long. The accident occurred iu the south heading of the tunnel about G40 feet from the extreme south end. A gang of L'O rink drillers was working in the extreme south cud of the heading and alxint .r0 feet from the end a gang made up of 20 muckers and a foreman was removing the debris produced by the blasting. Without warning the mass of rock, (!3 feet long, 11 feet wide and 10 feet high, uud weighing about 150 tons, fell with a tremendous crash directly where the muckers were working almost clos ing the tunnel and creating a panic among the two or three hundred men at work in another section. The frightened men, most of them Italians, in wild excitement and find ing themselves cut oft', as they thought, made wild efforts to escape, their cries adding to the confusion nnd horror. Be fore long, however, all made their way to the street uud the work of rescuing was commenced. At first it was supposed that at least a dozen men had been biirh-d under the debris. Word of the accident had becu ouhkly sprend and soon an anxious crowd gathered around the shaft, scores of men nnd women crying and wringing their hands while the rescuers worked with tremendous energy to reach the entombed workmen. . Del'etro ami the unknown Italian were not hurled under the mass of rock nnd were the first found and taken to the surface. When tlie rescuing party beitan to re move the fallen musses of risk they found the mangled Isxiies of O'Huru. Kelleher and tleronsky. They were tnken to the surface and carried to the nearest police station. The bodies of Madden and Danife, buried under masses of risk, which could not lie moved, could not be extricated, although they were In plain sight. It was the work of hours to drill the holes and charge lliein. When the charge was fired the body of Foreman Madden was removed picn-mcul and placed in n rude box nt the foot of tlie shaft while tho drillers went to work again. The next blast uncovered the body of Danife. RESIDENCE BLOWN UP. Dastardly Attempt to Murder a Family Is Made at Wllkesbarre.

It seems Unit Lieutenant Bains discov ered a prisoner re-entering a cell at Cnrbign, islnud of Samar, where several were confined, through a hole that had 'been made in the wall. An investigation showed a plan to fill the jail with bolomen and to call the guard, which would be necessary to get the door open, nnd then to at lack the garrison. It also developed that the in stigators were a priest and the presi denle, Im.Hi of whom have been arrested, together with several prominent persons. Other ntteniiits have been discovered, but fortunately frustrated nt I'ainbujnn and other points in Saniur. Several per sons have been arrested iu connection with these.
