The concussion necessary to project this shell, he says, is, by his device, re flected by the sides of the shell so that the glycerine oil is not disturbed in the least.

Ben edict 639 West King St., Decatur, HI Sold by H. b. McMaster, Waynes boro, Ga. H. Q Bell, Milieu, Ga. St. Louis. Jan. 7.—Six masked men mtered the National Stock yards bank, north of East St. Louis, 111., last night and after capturing and gagging the two night watchmen and firemen at the plant and blowing opep the vaults with dynamite secured 35,000 in coin and currency, with which they decamp ed early today. For nine hours, from 7 o’clock last night until 4 o'clock a. m., they were ac work on the vault without being in terfered with. The entire East St. Louis police force, aided by the St. Louis police, are guarding ail the ave nues of escape, but as yet have obtain ed r.o clew to the whereabouts of the robbers, who, it is believed, escaped on horseback. Lee Philpot, one of the watchers and one of the Rough Rider friends of President Roosevelt, who is well known in Kentucky, was the first to meet with the robbers. He was stand ing in the stock yards near the Ex change building, in which the bank is located, when he was addressed by three men who sprang out of a fence corner with revolvers in their hands. They said: “We want you. Philpot,” and with that overpowered him before he could reach his revolver. The three robbers took Philpot to the composing room of the Daily National Stock Yards Re porter near by and laid him on the floor. He was bound hand and foot and gagged with towels. While lying there three other men came in. Wanted to Kill Watchman. While he was lying on the floor Phil pot heard the leader of the robber gang say: “Let’s kill him.” He was deterred from doing this, Philpot says, by the other robbers. One of the six men was sent out with injunctions to se cure the others. Albert Estep, the other bank watchman, was caught on the steps of the Exchange building. The robber went up to Estep and ad dressed him by name. Thinking it was a friend, Estep was taken un awares and when a revolver was thrust into his face was not in shape for defense. Under threats of death he was forced to go to the composing room, where he was also bound and gagged. Night Fireman Clark was taken un awares in the stamp department of the Exchange building. He resisted and was badly beaten before subdued. Lie was also taken to the composing room and left bound and gagged with his two companions. At midnight one of the robbers was left to guard the cap tives, while the other five went to the bank, which is located on the first floor of the Exchange building near the center. With nitro-glycerine the robbers blew open the steel doc r of the vault. These doors were of a dou ble thickness of steel and were shat tered and the hank’s books and pa pers blown into shreds. Vauit Doors Blown Off. Entering the vault the big steel safe with quadruple plate doors was next encountered. These doors were drill ed and a charge of the explosion insert ed which blew them off. The explosion in the vault destroy ed more books and papers and scattered about $600 silver upon the floor. This money was not taken by the robbers. They took ali the currency and other coin, amounting to about $5,000 as nearly as the bank’s officers can esti mate. The five men left the bank and signaled to the one who .was guarding the captive watchmen and fireman. This man joined his companions. Five minutes after the robber guard left the composing room Estep, who had not been bound securely, worked loose and released Clarke and Philpot. This was about 4 o’clock. Estep then ran to the telephone and called up Charles T. Jones, general manager of the steel; yards, and informed him of the robbery. President G. Gordon Knox, of the stock yards, was also called. Mr. Knox said that if the rob bers had made their haul the night before they would have secured about $10,000 more than they got. They Gid »ot take any of the bank’s papers. The vault and safe present a scene of wreck and ruin. U. S. Supreme Court Affirms Decision of Lower Tribunals. Macon, Ga.. Jan. 7.—Colonel J. R. Cooper received a telegram yesterday afternoon announcing that the su preme court of the United States has affirmed the decision of the supreme- court of Georgia in the case of Isadore Minder, charged with the murder of Andrew Mahoney. Minder was tried and convicted in the superior court here during the November term, 1900. In May, 1901 the case was carried to the supreme court of this state on the ground that several material witnesses who lived in Alabama could not be reached un der the Georgia laws, and that Min der should not be hanged without the evidence of these witnesses. The su preme court of Georgia affirmed the decision of the superior court. After the decision of the Georgia su preme court Colonel Cooper went to New York and filed with Justice White of the United States supreme court an application for a writ of error. This writ was granted on the 3d of Sep tember. 1901. In the meantime Min der had been sentenced to be hanged on Sept. G, but the action of Justice White in granting the writ of error caused Governor Candler to grant an indefinite respite in Minder’s case. Colonel Cooper says he will now take Minder into the superior court and ask that he be adjudged insane. This case has attracted muen atten tion the past two years and a desper ate effort has been made to save Min der’s life. SUBTREASURY FOR ATLANTA, Some of the Provisions of Colonel Liv ingston’s Bill.
