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,

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.

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.

MANILA. Oct. 21. Owing to the
vigilance of Lieutenant Thomas M.
Bains, Jr., nf the Ninth I'uited Stales
infantry, another slaughter of American
troops by insurgents has been uverted.
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.
Iteinforeemeiits are being rushed to
Samar. Three hundred and thirty ma
rines under Lieutenant Colonel M. C.
(ioodrell have gone there on board the
I'nifed States cruiser New York and
two battalions of the Twelfth infantry
will start immediately for the smile des
tination. United States officers from other prov
inces that were supposed to be pacified
have recently nrrived at Manila and they
say that the news of American disaster
spreads like wildfire among the natives,
who scureely attempt to conceal their
delight.
The Manila constabulary discovered a
large ipinntity of stisd wagon springs
which were being shipped to various dis
tricts. Investigation showed that these
were to be lists I in ninuufueturiiig bolus.
tiiiicrnl Lacuna, who surrendered last
May, has complained to (icuernl Chaffee
that the terms upon which he and his
force surrendered have not been respect
ed by the Americans. He exhibits a
document signed by himself and tienernl
Frederick Funafuti in which he and his
force ore granted immunity except of
nil aits committed contrary to the laws
of war.
Since this document was executed sev
eral of Lacuna's officers and men have
been tried, condemned and sentenced to
death for killing American prisoners.
General Funstoii says that when it was
signed he gave Lacuna orally to under
stand tl.nt the kiling of American pris
oners wus excepted. Lnciinn admits that
something was said on this nliject but
said no thorough understanding was
reached nnd he considers the written
agreement binding.

HEIR TO CHINA'S THRONE
Empress Raid tn Have Decided to Appoint
Former Boxer Lesder.
TEKIX. Oct. 22.-A new heir to the
throne will lie appointed when the dow
ager empress meets Prince Cbing and
several of the viceroys at Kni Feng, cap
ital of the province of Ho Nan, where
there will be a general discussion of the
affairs of the empire. This news is Im
licvcd to be authentic, as it was received
from higli Chinese officials. The pres
ent heir has proved to lie dissipated and
uncontrollable. Moreover, Ids father's
status as a banished prince makes his
succession contrary to Chinese tradi
tions. The enndidnte nf the empress is said
to bo Poitzc. a nephew of Prince Tiinn.
who is intellectually weak. He partici
pated iu the Boxer aggression, person
ally leading an attack on the French
cathedral. The reform faction disap
proves of the selection and suggests that
tlie powers oppose it if the empress
wishis to carry it out.
Prince Chlng starts about Nov. 1
from here to net as grand marshal of the
court on Its journey from Kai Feng.
