THE BIG BANK ROBBERY AT FOREST RECALLED, Up to the present time, the detec- tives have not been able to get any definite information as to the move- ments of the burglars who blew up the safe in Smith's private bank at .Forest, some time ago. The burg- 1Iary took place during the night, and if it had been discovered at lour in the day, it is possible that the thieves would have be captured, but as the affair did not become known until the clerk arrived to open the bank at ten o'clock in the forenoon, the burglars got a big start. Three men, whose move- ments have been tracedii1u Forest to Kaiser's Corners,and from -Kaiser's Corners to Syrathroy, are believed to be the men who did the deed. Early the following morning a far- mer living near Kaiser's Corners had occasion to go to his hay mow for fodder for his cattle. He was very much astonished when he began to fork the hay to see a big burly tramp make his way out of the -mow. Ile gave the tramp a setting out, and started to take off more hay, when out tumbled another tramp, He gave them both a lecture, and pro- ceeded to work again, when a third tramp emerged from the mow. By this time the farmer thought that discretion was the better part of valor, and said nothing. He felt ra- ther queer, and did not know but that he had stumbled across a county Convention of Weary Walkers. Keep- ing a weather eye on the tines of the pitchfork, the tramps backed away, and. made off. The night was cold, and the men had burrowed into the bay with their coats about their heads, and gone to sleep. One car- ried in his hand a small valise, and on this valise hinges another story. Three boys living not far from Kaiser's Corners entered a vacant house to play. They observed a Ioose board in the floor, and, boylike, they rifted it ip. Ii'nderneath they fiinnt'l it small valise, which was tak- en possession by ' 'e police, It was found to contain the whole of the papers which were wrapped around the money stolen from the bank. It contained many of the names of the bank's customers, clearly established the connection. But the valise also contained a starched shirt, with a, London laun- dry ticket tacked thereon. This was thought to be a splendid clue, and .the detectives casae to London and investigated. At the laundry they found that the number of the shirt corresponded with the name of a well known bartender in this city.. They visited him and found that the shirt did not belong to him, but that the burglar or whoever it was, must have given his nave to the laundryman, or he must have had a similar name —a rather remarkable coincidence. This ended the chase. There were in the safe at the time of the robbery securities, mortgages, etc , for over $60,000, but these were not disturb, ed. Five are Sentenced to Death. Pretoria, April 28.—Five of the leaders of the National Reform Com- mittee who pleaded guilty of high treason yesterday, including John Hays Hammond, the American min- ing engineer, were condemned to death at this forenoon's sitting of the court. Hammond's companions are Col. Francis Rhodes, Lionel Phillips, Geo. Farrer and others. It was thought their action in pleading guilty would mitigate the sentence, but it turns out that it did not. London, April 28.—In the House of Commons to -day, Joseph Chamber- lain said: "I have received a private telegram, of the accuracy of which I have no doubt, saying that five of the leaders of the so-called National Reform party at Johannesberg had been condemned to death. I there- upon cabled to Sir Hercules Robinson at Cape 'Towyn instructions to com- municate, the following to President Kruger : 'The Government has just learned that the sentence of death has been imposed upon the chief leaders of the Reform Committee. The Gov- ernment has no doubt that your Honor will commute the sentence. Indeed, the Government has assured Parliament that this is your Honor's intentions.' Mr. W. J. Galloway asked whether the law governing such cases did not provide simply for the confiscation of the property of persons found guilty and not for the imposition of death sentence. Mr. Chamberlain replied that he could not answer that question, as he was doubtful whether' the condemned men had been tried under the statute law of :the Transvaal or the Roman and Dutch laws. Right Hon. James Bryce asked the names of the prisoners under death sentence, and Mr. Chamberlain said they were Col. Francis Rhodes, bro- ther to Cecil Rhodes, George Farrar, Lionel Phillips and ,Tohn Haps Ham- mond. The name of the fifth con- demned than lie had forgotten for the I moment. Four of them are British 1 subjects, and one (Hammond) is .an I American. The sentence of d'eath has since ween commuted. News Notes. A case of some: interest to school teachers was tried at the division court Watford. on Thursday . last before Judge, Edward Elliott. Miss Smith, a Warwick teacher was in- duced to become a member of the IIorne Ku„wled e • Association of Toronto, last winter, and gave her note for $15 for membership fee, A point not generally understood in connection with the law relating to the registration of births, deaths and marriages, was brought out in the IIatnilton Police court last week. The city elerk prosecuted one John Hill fel' not having recorded the death of Mrs, Maria Webber. Dlrs, Webber wcis 1jr. Hill's mother-in- law, and she died some time • ago at his house. Her sons undertook to pay all expanse; and look afte'• all matters connected with the death and Mrs Hill did not bother with it at all. But when the Iaw was ex- plained it was shown that, the resi- dent of the house in which the death occurs is the person responsible, and Mr. Rill had to pay a fine of ;-;1. for his neglect. HEADACHE.

It, re- inoves the cause of hP :Inche by re$tor•- ing all the organs of the system ta`pro- per action and health. Doubts dis- appear in view of proofs like this : "Ia the spring of 1801 1 got a bottle of B. B. 13. for my mother who had been troubled for twenty-five years with sick headache. I got it from Mr. W. Paxton Baird, of Woodstock, N. B., who gave me two other medicines to take home and let my mother take her choice, For- tunately she chose the Burdock Blood Bitters. and I returned the other bottles. She used it for three months, and has had no headache since. \Ve are sure that it was B. 13. B. cured her, as she took no other medicine. J. A. GREEN, Iiartford, N. B. Nov., 1305.. An explosion of gas in the boiler - room of the Waterville distillery I blew out the brick flues and came near causing the death of David Cross, who on Sunday went down to start the fires under the battery of boilers. Hardly had he applied the torch when there was an explosion ' and the brickwork overhead came down by the run. Cross was beaten to the ground. When the dust clear- ; cd away there was seen to be a hole in the brickwork about 30 feet long by 6 feet wide, and in the rear there was another hole almost as large. Cross was taken home and found . to I have sustained ugly, but not danger:.- ous flesh wounds on the head, neck • and breast. He is a married man with several children. The explosion is supposed to have been caused • by gas leaking and accumulating under the boiler. EZILTIEt 1=6.Pla Y DI rir' —AYD— ALARASTI E ALL SHADES.
