The Grand Lodge of Free and Ac-
|cepted Masons for the State of Ohio
closed its three days session at Spring
field, on Thursday evening. A prom
inent feature of the proceedings was
the discussion of the question as
to the admission of the colored men
into full fellowship and upon social
equality with white Masons. A long
debate was had upon the proposition
to strike out the word "whte," but
when the vote was taken the nays had
it by large majority. The project
of erecting a home for the INDECENT
widows and children of Masons was
discussed, but no definite action taken
upon it 1t met with favor, and will
be adopted before many years. The

Bandits of the Rail

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-The Cen
trail Pacific passenger train, bound
east and due here at 1 o'clock A. M,
arrived at Verdi, a small station elev-
en- miles west of Reno. on time. Just
as the tram was starting from the sta
ton three masked men boarded the
express car and five more immediate
ly came to their aid from the rear
cars. These five evidently came from
the west of the train. Six stopped
on the express car which they detach-
ed from the main train, cutting the
signal rope, and two jumped on the
engine, and placing pistols to the en-
gineer's head commanded him. to
move on, which he did. Two brake
men ende8vored to keep the masked
men off the express car, but pistols
placed at their heads compelled their
retreat. The conductor rushed for
ward but pistols stopped him. Find
ing a Ratchet he came forward again
in time to see the engine and express
car separated from the train and flying
down the track. The robbers then
placed the fireman and mail messen-
gers in the mail room and locked
them up. When within six miles of
this city they stopped the train, broke
open the express boxes, and robbed
them of forty-one thousand six hun
dred dollars in gold coin. Later in
vestigation shows that they put the
coin in old boot tops and escaped to
the mountains. A double, barreled
shot gun and pick were left by the
robbers at the quarry where they
opened the boxes. All the telegraph
wires were cut west of Reno. Two of
the Western Union lines, however,
we're repaired by daylight and bust
ness is not interrupted Parties are
now searching the mountains, and will
probably be able TO throw more light
on this bold robbery. During the
day the lines were still down.
Additional particulars, state that
the mail car was also plundered of a
large amount ofbonds and greenbacks
estimated as high as a quarter of a
million. Wells, Fargo and Co., offer
fifteen thousand dollars for the appre-
hension of the robbers.

On Monday morning an unknown
man was found hanging dead, in a
corn crib, a few rods from Black
Hand Station, on the Central Ohio
Railroad, aloat ten miles east of
Newark. To all appearance the case
was one of deliberate suicide. The
overcoat and carpet bag of the unfor-
tunate man were lying IN the crib
near his. He was a man probably not
over thirty years of age, and a stran-
ger to all in that neighborhood. On
Sunday evening he "a seen walking
along the railroad track, and stopped
at a house i'll Black Hand and begged
for something to eat. Nothing was
known of his antccedents. An inquest
was held on the bodp-b Justice Wi

the above. In his clothing were
found two small silver &C iins and a
