New y DIRK EXPRESS ROBBERY. - The Tn
buue OF yesterday contains the following con
corning the express robbery on the New \ Ork
Central railroad, an account Of which was given
in yesterdays Sun
judging from the facts already developed,
the mail robbers on the New York Central
railroad must have had their plans well digest
ed ere they began their work. To pass de-
pc. aud put off baggage as il they were the real
attaches Of the car, as was the case at Schen-
ectady, required degree of bo!dness that
makes it almost romance. The German who
is employed around the depot at Schenectady
says that he never received trunks so fast in his
hte. In response to the conductor, who asked
at the door OF the baggage car the usual ques
ton, Much baggage" an answer IN a
strange voice came, les, slews OF it, The
engineer OF the train states that Just west of
West Albany the belt rang and instead of stop
Iing, he merely slowed dowu. 1t is presum
ed that the robbers made their escape at this
point. 1t is not cOncusively known how much
vas taken from the car, and the true amount
will not be known for some time. Ii is known
that 100000 in gold ia missing 1t wa sup
posed that the Pacific mail train safe was Gu
board the train, but such was not the fact. -
Two EDglishmen were arrested in Schenec,a
dy yesterday, but proving an alibi they were
subsequently discharged

NARROW EsCAPE.-A German named Mil
Ter, lately arrived in this country, boafdng In
- Happy alley, came near losing his Life yeSter
day in a singular manner. He was alone IN his
room, in an upper story, unloading huge lron
bound chest about the size OF small ark, and
twice as large as three-story Saratoga trunk
When he had nearly completed the work, and
while leaning over to get some article at the
bottom of the chest, Miller lost his balance and
iel in. His heels struck the lid and brought
it down, making him fast prisoner by means
OF the spring lock attached. The old fashioned
strength of the chest aud fastenings resisted
his most vigorous efforts to break his
bonds, and his bali stifled cries could not be
heard by the other inmates of tn" house who
were all down stairs. The agony OF the mo
ment was intense, as may be well imagined,
considering the narrow confines OF such prison
and the remoteneSs OF oil help. Fortunately,
the window OF the room was open, and the sup
pressed cries of suffering were heard by lady
IN an adjoining yard, who Instituted inquiries,
aud these led TO an investigation, lp which the
searchers were directed to the trunk by the
means Of the imprisoned man. There was no
time Tor delay. An axe was speedily brought
TO bear upon the trunk, and the lid forced
open. The poor man was found to be almost
exhausted, but was soon revived by the fresh
air and proper applications, though it will be
some days before he is completely over the ter
iible fright the accident has given him. -Bot
