The following are tic particulars Of the

Missouri road yesterday morning.
Shortly after the train left Scott station,
two rough looking men hastily entered the
car from the rear platform, They were
dressed III dark clothes ind had their
faces concealed in calico masks. The
agent In moment cOmprehcnded their
design and rose TO resist them. They de-
mandel the keys Of the safe in which the
money was deposited and seized him. III!
struggled with them desperately, but they
forced him down on,'the floor, In the
course Of the struggle be was struck re-
peatedly on The head and face. One blow
II is feared fractured the bridge Of
his nose. Having disabled him from
making any, further resistance, i'they
bound him TO a heavy chest, and
runmagcd his pockets until the key Of
the safG was found and they then pro
ceeded topOssess themselves Of tho money,
and having robbed the safe ast they thought
pretty thoroughly the r4scals locked It
again and threw the key behind some
boxes in the car where it was found. II

$1,000 in grcenbacks twas lett behind
having been evidently overlooked. The
