Hold Daylight Robbery of a New Hamp shire Hank—Robbers Escape. SoMKHH WORTH, N. II., April 19.— While resisting the entry of two des perate and determined robbers, and during a heroic struggle to protect 8150,000 or more in money and securi I tics in the compartments of the open vault of the (ireat Kails National bank of Somers worth Friday afternoon, Cashier Joseph A. Stickney was struck down and brutully murdered near tho desk which he occupied for years. After killing Stickney, the murder ers ransacked the vault and tied with all the cash, with the exception of a few gold pieces. As near as can ho cstiinuted, 89,000 was taken, but it 1* possible that the loss will considerably exceed this sum, ns no one but the dead cashier knew tho exact amount that wus in the Institution at the time. Tim robliers, after knocking Stick ney known with a black jack. cut his throat. Tlic most remarkable feature of the robbery is that 8100,000 in lionds ol the United States, which were kept in one of tile drawers of the big vault, and which the robbers examined has tily. were not taken. Neither was nny of the negotiable pa)>cr and securities of tiie hank in fact, nothing is miss ing except the cash. No one was aware that there wa* anything wrong at the hank until until nearly 2 o'clock, or an hour after the murderous work was done. The perpetrators had ample time to escape. Scores of deputy sheriffs, marshals, f police and citizens ure scouring this section of the state nnd the adjoining state of Maine, which, from the city, is just across the Salmon Falls river. The men made their visit to the hunk at the busiest time of the day in the locality where the bank is situ ated, and so completely und thor oughly did they accomplish their rob bery that only an uncertain duo and a very meagre description were ob tained. FRANCE OBJECTS. The l>lm;l«-y Tariff Hill Arouam Con siderable Antagonism. Pa KM, April ill. -The Dingloy tariff bill hv.a aroused considerable autug- \ onisin among French mercantile cir cles. where it is pointed out that the measure may lead to a policy disastrous in its effects on certain Frensh indus tries. Some representations of this nature have already been made to members of the French government. A reporter sent to M. Hanotaux, the Frendi foreign minister, a number of questions bearing on the tariff situa tion and the relation. of the two re publics. The French foreign office re turned the following written reply: “The federal government at Wash ington will succeed without any doubt iri drawing closer the bonds which unite France and the l'nited Stntcs, by abstaining from overtaxing im ported French goods, such as sparkling und still wines, brandies, silks, woolens, gloves, works of art. etc To shut out of the l'nited States by quasi prohibitive tariffs the product of French industry und art will, evident ly. have a contrary effect.'* In answer to a question as to what co-operation France would give to bring about un international bimetal lic conference, M. Hanotaux said: “The co-operation which France could give the l'nited States in the assem bling of a monetary conference would naturally depend on the state of trade between the two countries. As re gards bimetallism, France, seems un certain and much divided.'* MINERS IN DISTRESS. Much Squalor amt Misery iu the Penn sylvania Coat Kcgions.
