VaUejo, Cal., Ang. 0.-Gold bricks valued at #380,000 were stolen during last night from the Selby Smelting works. The robbers evidently had been working on the job for two or three months They had dug a tunnel from ontside the honse, beginning with a shaft abont three feet deep. Thenoe they worked underneath the vault and striking upwards, bored a hole in the strong room floor. The hole was shaped like the manhole of a boiler. Part of the holes were bored two months ago, it is thought, and the last one was completed during the night. Through that hole they took the gold bricks and carried them to a bank near the month of the tunnel east of the works, where they were evidently placed in a boat. In their hurry the robbers left two of the brioks on the bank. Daring the night one of the workmen reported to one of his fellows that he heard a noise iu the strong room and declared it was a ghost. The others ridiculed him for his superstition, bat no investigation was made to see what caused the noise. The entrance to the fcnunol was cov-1 TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE T. & N. E. AND 0. & I.

Sohwal), of the steel trust. Morgan had seen the corporation's stook depreciate in value to the amount of (85,000,000 on acconut of the labor troubles, and notified Sohivab to end the strike instantly. Schwab replied in substance: “Mr. Morgan, you represent one in- WeRt of the steel corporation and I an other. Yon look at it from the Wall street standpoint, and I from the stand point of n man responsible for the bog* cess of the great corporation, and with long experience in handling men. Yon, with Wall street eyes, see the stook fall and beoorne alarmed. I see the fntnre, und a settlement of something which must be settled. We must meet the men in a fight to the finish. I have been trained to fight men, and will." By this time Sohwab was on hi, feet and shouting. Morgan merely replied : "We will see about this.” PERMITS FOR Mast -In Pnturr be Secured Prom the City Connell. From Tuesday’s Daily Herald.

Tho police are hard at work to arrest Brown on a charge of j larceny from several women in Nash- 1 villa. . . OCEANIC HAD COLLISION We find the following iu yesterday afternoon’s Savannah Press. The item is “played up" under big headlines: Deal Jackson, a negro farmer of Dougherty county, must be an ambitions tiller of the soil. He likes to beat his neighbors, both white and oolored, in agricultural achievements. It must be said to his' oredlt that he does this sometimes, bnt this year ho has in his zeal overstepped the boands of safety. Deal sent in a mixed bale of ootton for a new Georgia bale and when it reaahed the Savannah market, it was promptly thrown out by the classifica tion committee of the Savannah Oottou Exchange. The Press stated yesterday that Mr. E. A. Outts had reoeived no tice from the Georgia Cotton Company of Albany that a bale of new Georgia cotton was to be shipped to him today, The bale reaohed bere this morning. It was given tho place ot honor usually acoorded new ootton under the shade of the china tTee in front of the Ootton Ex change and the olassificution committee was given good, large samples of it to look over and fix the grade. This iB the report of the committee: committee's report. "Wo find the bale to consist of old and new ootton, mixed, olassing abont barely middling, more or less discolored, gin ont, and damp. We do not con elder it a bale of entirely new crop oot ton. W. K. Pearoe, John Nisbet, James T. Stewart, classification committee.' Deal might have fooled the ootton men of Albany and Doagherty oounty abont his alleged first bale, hnt he oonld uot get over the olassifloation oommlttee of 'lie Savannah Ootton Exohange. When the report of the oommlttee be came known Mr. Outts wired to Albany of Its finding and the alleged new bale of this year’s orop soon fell from its high pedestal and now rests like any ottier ordinary bale of short staple in the dark recess of Woods & Malone’s ware house. Savannah yet awaits the arrival • f me first new bale. Jaokeon sold his cotton at Albanv for lOo. a pound. It has not been resold up to this time. Deal Jaokson, the well known Dough, orty oounty negro farmer who brought Georgia’s “first bale" to this market on Tuesday, has not been seen sinoe it was made known that the bale oould not pH os master at Savannah, It is sup posed that as soon os he learns of the aotion of the Savannah exohange classi fication oommlttee, Jaokson will have something to say. It may be that he will undertake to establish the genuine ness of his first bale in spite of the ao tion of the Savannah committee. As was stated in Tuesday's Herald, the b.-le was bought by the Georgia Cotton Co. for 10 oents per pound, and shipped to E. A. Ontts, of Savannah. The Georgia Ootton Go. reoeived a tele gram from Mr. Outts yesterday after noon telling of the aotion of the ex change committee. At A. W. Muse & Co's, warehouse, where the Jaokson bale was sold.no suspi cion that it was not genuine arose. Deal Jackson bad brought In the first bale in 1809 and 1000, and both these proved to bo genuine. To Mr. J. R. White- head, of the Georgia Cotton Co., the sample taken from the hale appeared to be new crop cotton. 200,000 LABORERS WILL LEAVE THEIR POSTS When General Strike Or der is Promulgated—Of These, 50,000 Are Car negie Employes—-Mc Keesport May Issue $500,000 in Bonds That Strikers May Not be Idle.
