ST. LOUIS, September lS.-But few
particulars of the robbery of Wells,
Fargo l. Co.'S express office, at Ellis,
Kansas, on last Tuesday night, OF $22,-
600, are received. The money had
been sent by the Auditor of the
Kansas Pacific railroad, to pay the
hands on the Kaw Valley division of
the road. Reaching Ellis, it was given
to express agent j. A. Harvey, who
carried it to his Office, in the store of
Hamilton & Harvey, he being one OF
that firm. Several persons were pres.
ent at the time, and remarks were
made about leaving so much money in
the store. Harvey rolled the package
in blanket, threw it under the table,
and went home for the night, it then
being about seven o'clock. Harvey
states that after going to bed he thought
that he had been careless, and started
for the package, but became afraid from
the publicity which had been given the
matter and returned to bed. In the
morning the money was gone, his office
having been entered during the night.
Three men are missing who should
have been in Ellis, one OF whom is an
engineer on the road, and suspicion
attaches to them. The railway com.
pany will lose nothing. Superinten.
dent Cooper, Of the express company,
has been up the road, and feels conf
dent of securing both the money and
robbers.

A NEW thieving dodge is practiced by
females who enter cars, and, finding a
gentleman sitting alone, ask if the
other seat is occupied. The gentleman
at once motions her 10 be seated, when
she politely asks him II he won't allow
her TO sit by the window. OF course
this request Is also granted, aud she
becomes seated. Presently she finds
that there is not air enough in the car
and requests the gentleman to raise the

IT is feared that the eastern part OF
Yorkshire, in England, will, in the
course Of time-a very long time-be
entirely washed away by the sea. 1t is
estimated that there is an average loss
OF two or three yards along the entire
coast every year, and that about thirty
acres of land disappear annually be-
rween Spurn Point and Marlborough
Head alone. There was once an i'm
portant seaport called Ravenspurn on
this coast, which returned member to
the Parliament OF Edward l.; but in
1899 there was but little OF it left, and
at the close Of the next century the
ground upon which it once stood had
totally disappeared. Several villages
which appear on old maps have been
destroyed by the encroachments OF the
waves, aud Kilnsea, which lost It's
churches iu 1896, is likely soon TO be
swept away altogether.

Verdict in the Mcclellan Case.

CINCINNATI, September lS.-The
Times and Chronicles Dayton special
this evening says: The verdict against
Mcclellan has caused deep surprise in
the community here, and yet it is greet
ed with expressions Of profound salts
faction. The management of the case,
on the part OF the State, was not gener-
ally understood during the trial, on &C.
count of an expectation by the public
and the defense that the coat question
would again be involved, which the
counsel for the State now assert to have
been, in their view, the cause Of the dis
agreement by the jury at Lebanon. The
defendant heard the verdict from the
bench with his eyes suffused in tears.
The motion for q new trial will be
heard on Friday next at nine o'clock
when, if overruled, as it is generally
expected it will be, the prisoner will re-
ceive his sentence Of imprisonment for
life.
