[From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, No~. r..
Last evening Capt. George Lakeland
and Mr.. Charles Lanshaw, who came in
on the II o'clock train of the Kansas

road from Gage county, Nebraska.
brought the news of a sad accident that
occurred by reason of the great prairie
fires that are now raging in that section
of the State. Those gentlemen claim
that it is not altogether improbable that
many other families have suffered in
the same manner, and that it will be
necessary to extend liberal aid, and
that very shortly.
Capt. Lakeland, recent citizen OF
Lincoln, Neb., and a gentleman we'll

ever since Friday night one week ago

flames, and those families that can move

save what little of their property they
can. Many Of them are leaving behind
almost all their worldly possessioas, and
are straveling with nothing but their
team and scant allowance of provisions.
Many Of these people are bat poorly
clad and have already suffered much
from the pinching wind. He says that
their suffering must Of necessity be
great. He gives us the details Of the
terrible calamity that overlook the
family of Mr.. William S. Herndon, a
well-known farmer Of Gage County.
He says he met Mr.. Herndon on Mon.
cay night, on his way to Lincoln. where
he has relations residing, and where he
expects aid. From MIR: Herndon' s own
lips he learned the story of his suffer.

HOW They Cooperate i'm England.

The system Of cooperating in Eng
land is pretty generally all on the same
plan. A machine shop established in
Millwall, Middlesex county, near Lon
don, employing over two thousand men,
may be taken as an example. The
most notable feature is the rotation in
Office, which is deemed necessary to
secure society against frauds by design
ing or dishonest officers. The names Of
the members being arranged alphabeti-
cally on the books, the different officers
deemed necessary to carry on the bu-
siness are chosen from this list; no OIL
Ger, however, holds his sifhation beyond
one day. If any member thinks him.

when his turn comes, the next volun-

workmen in their turn 60 though every
official department., and Of course be-
come acquainted with the whole routine
transaction. No one has a salary or.
wages above another Whatever the
department any one fills they are on
an equality. Experience has proved
it necessary to have no distinctions or,
privilege Of one over the other. In the
same spirit no one is allowed to have
more than one share in the establish@
tment, and Of course only one: vote in
their general meeting. This is to pre-.
vent any assumption of power or inau-

A New Sw indle-HoW Lizzie Schmidt
Played 1t Oh the St. Louis jewelers..


[Fro,n the St. Louis Republican, Nov. 1871
A novel and strikingly ingenious
game Of swindling has been played with
eminent success upon number of our
jewelers. during the past week. each of
the victims paying quite handsomely
for his experience. On last Wednesday
evening handsome young woman,
whose age is probably about 24 years,
and whose address and apparel suggest
refinement and excellent taste, as we'll
as means to crafty it, arrived in this
city by tram from indianapolis. 1t
is quite certain that she was accompa.
inied by an escort, but whats his name
or how he looks cannot nov be told-in
fact, those are little items which the po-
lice are anxious to discover. Nor can
it be said where the lady boarded. The
interest attaching to this seemingly un-
important arrival develops hereafter.
On Thursday--or possibly it was on
Friday-the lady called at the jewelry
store of Joseph N. ELMER, No. 2,002
Carondelet avenue, aad Sc, ted that she
desired to procure her husbands gold
hunting case watch, which had been
left there for repairs, and which was to
he finished at this time. Mr.. ELMER
had no recollection Of having seen the
lady before, but there certainly was a
god hunting case watch in his posses.
sion which had been left for repair. ana
which was to be finished, and, in fact,
was finished at that time. The de-
scription Of the watch which she called
Cor was that of the article in his pos
session, the lady appeared to be all
that lady should be, and there was
no i ground p. for. refusing to de-.
liver the valuable, : even had
Mr.. ELMER felt so disposed, which he
did not. The lady paid the cost of re-
pairing and took the. watch with her.
Mr.. ELMER was stunned a short time
afterwards when the gentleman who had
left the watch called to take possession
Of it, and denied having ever received
It. As the gentleman could not be
doubted, it was quite in order to doubt
the lady; in fact, thatwas the least Mr..
ELMER could do, and he did it-proba-
bly, more. g.. ~ -, - :. -, r. = i.
Ii Henry German, jeweler, No. 2732
Market street, took in an open faced
gold watchsons Friday for repairs, and
agreed to have II. done on Saturday. On
Saturday an interesting lady called,
proved property, and walked off with
the oDcn faced gold watch, leaving Mr..
German to experience an exasperating
sur rise, such as stirred mp Mrss ELMER.

On Friday Mr.. D. A. Winters, jewell
or, No. lib Franklin avenue, received

: j
er, No. lll3 Franklin avenue, received
a=axery= valuable hunting case gold
watch from negro named Peterson,
agreeing to repair it by Saturday noon
or thereabouts. He gave a ticket to
Peterson as kind Of a receipt. On
Saturday morning an elegantly dressed
lady entered Mr.. Winters store, and.
stating that she had left a watch for
repair, but had lost her ticket, she pro.
ceeded to describe Peterson's ticket,
and gave the hour at which it was to
be finished. Mr.. Winters is accommo.
dating; he had forgotten that a negro
brought the watch in,--or perhaps he
never saw it.--and Peterson's valuable
was freely and unsuspiciously turned
over to the lady without requiring q
ticket. Peterson called and presented
his ticket in the afternoon, and then
Mr.. Winters began to figure on tho
probable extent Of the loss, and to hold
consultation with the police.
Two other cases Of q like nature-a
gold watch being sacrificed each time
were reported to the police, and it be-
came very plain that an adept in swim
ding was among us.
Mr.. Winters watch was found in a
pawn shop on Locust street, where a
nice-looking young lady had pawned it,
and another watch vas recovered in
another establishment Of like business.
Getting an accurate description of
the gay deceiver from the numerous
gentlemen who were competent and
willing to give it, the detectives began
to look for her.
Yesterday afternoon about S o'clock
Dan O O'Connor, Chief OF Detectives, was
Juggling his broad shoulders along Fifth
street, and when near Hilton's restaCr.
ant he saw pretty girl come out and
cross the sidewalk towards a carriage
which was in waiting. She took his
eye, as all who know him would guess.
But this time Dan meant business. The
face, the size, the complexion, the color
of dress-Eureka! 1t was worth the
risk, anyhow-and before the carriage.
door could be closed, Dan stepped
composedly into the vehicle and took a
seat opposite the other occupant. He
cody asked her to take drive up to
the Four Courts, and the manner in
which she received the invitation prov
ed to him that he was not mistaken.
10 the Four Courts they went, and the
young lad y was taken to the Chief
office, where it was found that
her name is Lizzie Schmidt; her
home which she left on Tuesday last, is
in Indianapolis; she came here to play it
sharp on our jewelers., and had done so;
she had confederate who compelled
her to act her part in the interesting
games by threatening to shoot her il
she failed him; the trick was 70" the
confederate to watch a jeweler shop,
spot any articles left for repair. listen
to the agreement: make note Of it:give
it to her, and she to play the rest: she
would not give her confedcrate's name;
she always pawned the watches as soon
as captured, and gave the money to
her confederate; she didn't mean to be
bad.
The pawn-tickets Of the missing
watches were found in her pockets, and
the watches were recovered. Now for
the confederate! Anybody that knows
how he looks can do favor. In the
meanwhile Lizzie Schmidt, the pretty
girl, is in the naughty calaboose.

TRAM ROBBERY Il CANADA.

61sllI1l s4l lEelEA Aseack.a
Trata On the Great western Rail-
way-Fixhs with the Train Men
They Capture tho Express Car and
Safe, and OStain 1l50, 0,OOO--Escapc
81 the Thieves.
From the Toronto Globe, Nov. l4.l :
Yesterday evening the city was
thrown il. to state Of intense excite.
ment by a report that a robbery-the
most daring and successful ever perpe.
trated in Canada, had been committed
on the Great Western Railway. A Globe
reporter was quickly on the alert, and
upon inquiry from ali the sources of
information, found the faPts to have
been these: The evening train leaving
Hamilton at about S o'clock arrived at
Port Credit ON time, and ever thing
then was in the usual order. SHORTY :
after leaving Port Credit, however, a
man entered the rear door of the baggage
and express car, and simultaneously
four other men came in the other
door, all disguised by having white
smocks drawn over their heads, cover.
ing the greater part Of their dresses,
with holes in the upper part to allow of
their seeing their way for the carrying
ON of their operations. The man at
the rear door kept guard, so that no
escape, however dangerous that might
have been, could be effected in that
way. The other four advanced in the
opposite direction, and two of them
seized the baggageman, named Mont
gomery, and first gagging him with a
sort Of wad, previously prepared, Sc.
curely tied him, throwing him on the
floor Of the car. The other two des.
peradoes attacked the express mcssen.
ger. named Dundon, in the employ OF
the American Express Company, who,
upon Offering what resistance the cir.
cumstances permitted, was knocked
down, and also gagged and bound. The
men then searched his pockets and
found the key of the iron box in which
the valuable packages were deposited,
and had no difficulty in possessing
themselves of the whole Of them.
The train proceeded toward the
ClIJ az AOAV SAdA V4OA-
nary rate, and, as usual, upon ap-
preaching the numerous switches near
the junction of the Great Western and
the Toronto, Grey and Bruce railways,
slackencd speed, whom the ruffians who
had committed the outrage jumped
from the car and escaped. Such was
the account given by the two men.
when, upon the train reaching the
Queens Wharf, they were discovered
bound and gagged lying on their backs.
On examination Of the car, it was found
that the bell rope had been cut between
the car and the engine, which must have
been done by the four men on the plat.
form before entering the car. thus ef-
fectually preventing any alarm being
given by the engine driver by the ex-
pressn1an or baggageman, even if they
had not been so speedily overpowered.
The place at which the miscreants
alighted was near the barracks, a place
which would afford them good oppor-
tunity to escape.
The amount stolen is variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to 5000. 600, but
from careful inquiries it is PROBABLE
that the total will be something short
Of $l5O,OC0.
