ANOTHER DARING EXPRESS RoBERRY. Tie
adams Company Again Eictinlizedt0 the Time of
Sl5 ,0O0.-We learn by private dispatch from
Cincinnati, that on Saturday night after the train
lett Seymour, going east, two men entered Niler's
car by the front platform, and leach presenting a
revolver at the head of the messenger, demanded
the keys of his safe. He gave them up, aud one
of the men stood guard over him while the other
rltled the safe. All the local monies and three
canvass bags, one from Vincennes, one from New
Albany and the other from Nashville, were ri1ed
The messenger was compelled to turn his back
while the men threw out safe No. 329 for Louis
vile and Cincinnati, but left the other two through
safes behind.
Having secured as much of the booty as thev
could, the robbers pulled the bell-cord and as
soon as the train slackened they jumped off, about
half mile from Seymour.
AT the next station the train stopped, and Henry
temple, the route agent, returned to Seymour on
loot and organized posse of men, and started
ona handcar for the scene of the robbery. They
found the safe sixty yards from the track, with
the seals unbroken. The safe contained SIS 900.
The robbers were tracked as far as the little
town of Rockford, two miles from Seymour, but
they were not found. A reward of $4,000 IS offered
for the apprehension and conviction of the two
robbers, or $1,000 for either of them, and one
fourth of all the money recovered The robbers
are described as about five feet eight or nine
inches high, and weighing lao or $50 pounds. They
wore pastboard masks over their faces and cans
on their heads.
Some of our city detectives have been nut on
the track Of these daring robbers and John
Eagan has been engaged to ferret out the
matter.-[St. Louis Democrat.

The Dreyfus Casca


Public attention, and particularly that of tho
mercantile community, has been drawn to a mum,
Der Of prosecutions instituted against Mr.. N Drew
lus' py merchants, for obtaining many thousands
oi doiiars worth OF goods, upon representations
charged 10 have been false. These complaints
were iodged before Recorders Ahern and Gasti-
neil ana were Variously disposed Of In one case
recorder Ahen allowed the charge to be with
0ra"h oy Ile prosecutor, and in another by mutual
cohsehI Oh counsel tor the house considering them
selSes aggAeVed and counsel for the accused the
same iea aglsrate permitted the papers to be retired
from ms office, in order that they might be sub.
mitted to the Grand Jury.
The cases brought before Recorder Gastine
were disposed Of otherwise. The question of in
| rlsdcton was raised. TWAS eontendef, in behalf
OF Mr.. Dreyfus, that, in relation to the transac
tons charged to be fraudulent, a criminal prose
cution did not lie thatif the Law could einyoked
properly, At could only be before civil court.
This point was deemed so intricate that it was
argued by eminent counsel an entire day, and
Recorder G&stinel, after celebrating for several
days, decided that the cases were of civil nature
and dismissed the criminal prosecutions.
Ihe district attorney, however, takes a differ
ent view, and yesterday he filed two informations
against Mr.. DEeyfus, and, bench warrants having
been issued by order of Judge Abel, Mr.. D. was
arrested and held to answer the accusations One
OF the cases in which Mr.. Luzenburg has filed an
information, is that in regard to which the qges-
ton of criminal jurisdiction was decided in favor
OF Mr. Dreyfus by Recorder Gastfnel. 1t is the
case in which Mesgrs. Taylor, McElr0V e. Co. al
leged that Alr. Dreyfus obtained from them about
Tour thousand dollars worth of goods, bv false
pFeteRses, Which pretenses are set forth in the
information filed, ideatically as in the affidavit
maze before Recorder Gastnel. It is charged
tlat ne procured the goods by falsely representing
!llat he intended to ship them to Shreveport, and
ulsPose OF them in his store there in the ordinary
course OF trade, and that he had deposited, with
TREND ia this city, the sum of ten thousand dol
ars' winch he could if necessary, obtain.
In the second case, the information compIains
that Mr.. Dreyfus, by similar false pretenses, pro-
cured from Messrs. Adler & Levy, goods to the
amount of twenty-eight hundred dollars. This
was the case retired from Recorder Abern,s office
to be submitted to the Grand Jury, but az the of.
Tense charged is one not necessary to he nre.
sented to the Grand Inquest and is within the
control of the district attorney that officer ever
cised his own Judgment in the matter, The
statement of false pretenses in this case differs
slightly tEosa the aVerment in the other As TO
the destination of the goods, and the design for
which Mr.. DFeyfus said he purchased them, the
allegations are the same, but in dealing with
Messrs. Adler & Levy, it is charged that he spe.
clh2aly and falsely mentioned the firm Of Pike,
