D~At midnight. on Thuret

~At midnight, on Thursday, q
desperate attempt was made TO rob
an Adams Express car on the Van
dalia Railroad, near Longpoint, I'll.
When the passenger train, bound east,
stopped at the water-tsnk, two men
boarded the engine and ordered the
engineer, Milo Ames, TO start it. He
obeyod, and was then shot dead by
the robbers, one Of them remarking
that they "would run the thing them.
selves" The fireman ran TO the rear
to alarm the train mon, and while no
was doing 30 o confederate OF the
robbers detached the express car from
the cars in the rear. After running
the train to a distance OF about two
milos from the station tho gang
stopped it, and demanded atmittance
TO the express car. The express
messenger, Burke, told them ''he
was ready for them, and IL they on
tored they would be dead mon" -
They responded by pouring volleys
Of pistol shots into the car, the firing
according to the messenger, being a.
II done by a dozen men, as the shots
"came from all sides." He barri.'
caded himself in tho car, however,
and held his ground until the train
men, having found two soldiers with
carbines, arrived on the spot, and the
robbers disappeared in the darkness.
They found the body Of the murder
cd engineer, Ames, in the cab. A
freight engineer happening TO be on
the train, the engine was run back
and the train taken TO Terre Haute.
The express car, which the robbers
failed to force, WAS very strongly
built and had no windows. A ham
mer, nsod to knock on. the coupling
pin, WAS found and may serve ~ .
clue. Several suspected persons have
been arrested.

"The Poor We Have Always With Yc''
Should be brought home to our hearts
this coming Christmas. There are
many that are needy in this flourish
ing city Of ours, for IN n thronging,
shifting, ever-changing multitude pour
ing in from all parts of the State,
many come among that throng power
ty-stricken and oftimes broken down
in health.
The scenes we witness at the depots
at midnight where crowds of sick and
weary emigrants are emptied into a
strange city in the darkness, the cold
and the beating rain without shelter
and without friends presents to our
most charitable citizens n field for the
exercise of their benevolence.
If we could afford them shelter and
food if but for night, how much suf-
fering and exposure we could prevent
Let us remember them in our plenty,
and give freely of the substance where
with our Master has blessed us.
