THEY DIED GAME.

Kansas City, Sept. 27.-The Kansas City
Times hasa special from Buffalo Station,
Kas., giving particulars Of the capture and
killing of two Of the Union Pacific express
robbers yesterday and the recovery of $780,
600 in gold. About 8 o'clock two men
riding jaded horses and leading a heavily
loaded pony, came into the station and
stopped for refreshments. The station agents
suspicious were aroused by noticing the
the name Of Joel Collins on an envelope in
the pocket of one Of the men which was ex-
posed in drawing his handkerchief. 1t hap
pened that Sheriff Beardsley Of Ellis county
and squad of soldiers on the watch for the
robbers were encamped in ravine near
by and as soon as the men left the agent
notified the sheriff, who mounted his men
and soon overlook the robbers. They
told him he was mistaken in the men;
that they were Texas cattle men return
ing home. The sheriff asked them to re-
turn to the station which they cheerfully
agreed to do. They had gone only short
distence when Collins suddenly turned and
said to his companion, "If we have to die
let us do it gamely.' Both attempted to
draw revolvers, but the sherih7s posse wa.
too quick for them and fired, killing both
of them instantly. The gold was sewed
up in the legs of a pair of pantaloons and
consists oftwenty-dol!ars pieces of the mint
Of 1877. The bodies were taken to Ellis
where an inquest will be held. There were
no papers on their bodies except roll O.
poetry dedicated to Collins by young lady
and which he seemed to prize highly. TIL
name of the other man is not given. Col
lins is said to be from Dallas, Texas, ane
to be of highly respectable family. Sheriff
Beardsley and citizens are in hot pursuit 0

SITTING BULL.
Sew yots Special. ss.l

Sew YORK Special. I'D 9
The Worlds latest adyiccs from Fort
Wnlsli, British northwestern Territory, state
that Sitting Bull and his braves have nearly
completed their preparations for the winter.
The Wood mountain region in which they
are cncampcd, is full Of thcltered valleys,
containing thick groves Of poplar, in which
the fugitives are pitching their tepees.
j ust south Of White Mud river is trading
post, known as Fort N. j. Turnay, and from
there the Sioux have procured enough pro-
visions and ammunition to carry them
through until next May. Small bands of
rowing Indians are camping with them.
Sitting Bulls people have amassed Il large
quantity of pemmican, and now
hunters call prime, they are storing up robes
for barter. The braves look all The better
for their long rest, being as slick and greasy
as cooks. They are sadly in need of ponies
however, and Of new clothing. Sitting Bull
says he doesn't expect TO see the American
commissioners this year, and even if they
do come, he had no intention of leaving
here. The story that American troops un-
der Gen. Miles are ready to fall upon the
Sioux the moment they re-cross the frontier
with the commissioners has done its work,
and it is believed nothing they can offer
Sitting Bull will induce him to leave his
present quarters, this year at least. The
mounted police have explicit instructions TO
bring about an interview if possible. The
Ottawa authorities hold that when once
Canada has done her hest to induce the
Sioux to make terms with the commission
ers, no unabetted act on Canadian soil OF
which the Indians may subsequently be
guilty can be charged against the Domin-

STRAHAN,

These gentlemen will please to take no.
tice that the press and people of this city
will not forget them. When they are again
candidates for any public trust their be-
trayed constituents will know how to deal
with them. But those of the city members
who, like Mr.. Ecclesine and Mr.. O'Hare,
have been true and jealous, will be
remembered to their advantage in future
elections, and Mr.. Purdy, of Westchester,
though not city member, deserves recog-
milton as true friend of rapid transit. We
regret that Mr.. Gilbert, Of Franklin county,
the chairman Of tho Railroad Committee,
whom we esteem rs an honorable man, hos
been mslcd on this subject, and hope that
his eyes, like those of other country MEM
bers, will be opened by the intention Of the
horse railroads to use steam in the streets.

We suppose the clerks in the Chicago Post
Office are congratulating themselves this
morning that Mr.. Mullett has contemptu-
ously refused to superintend their new
building. Certainly when an architect, or
o man who passes for one in the public SER
vice, constructs the roof of building cost
ing several millions in so flimsy manner
that after couple of years it tumbles in,
he ought to be marked extra-hazardous.
We should like to hear what, aside from pro-
family, Mr.. Mullett has to say in excuse for
the falling in of the Post Office roof yes
terday. 1t was SO ugly that we always
supposed it was at least strong; per-
haps Mr.. Mullett thought SO too. We
tremble when we remember that he has
roofs scattered all over the country, pretty
much all Of the same pattern; and one Won
ders if they are all likely to cave in. Secretary
Evarts and the whole State Department
repose under Mullett roof if it would
not be offensive to Mullett's feelings we
would suggest to the Secretary of State,
whose life is valuable, to have the State De-
partment roof examined ut once. After the
caving in of the Post Office roof we hope
the new administration will try to get on
without Mullett. It would be safer even to
have him join Ben Wade and Wendell
Phillips than to have him experimenting
anything which requires roof.

Fatal Tinkering Mt the Post once.

Another distressing loss of life, the details
of which we print to-day, has resulted from
the inhuman stupidity that manufactures
death traps in buildings. One would sup
pose that within the walls of q massive and
imposing looking government building like
the New York Post Office q partition wall
could be removed and repairs executed
at a lesser cost than that of human life.
But yesterdays shocking catastrophe
proves that, even after the expenditure
Of millions of dollars, ample time and
the superintendent and labor Of profess
sional architects and experienced workmen,
death turks in our great public buildings.
Here is q case in which an unimportant i'm
provement is being carried out in room
near the roof. The apartment was intended
for occupation by the employees and was
rooted with iron Orders resting on the
walls, and which carried brick arches, the
whole being covered with concrete to make
it watertight and fireproof. 1t seems q
partition wall was removed and the
weight of the small Orders it supported was
thrown on q large transverse iron girder
which was substituted to carry the heavy
roof This girder suddenly gave way, and
all the others followed it with deafening
crash, killing three unfortunate men at work
beneath. It is clear that those in charge of
the work took no precautions to test the
strength either Of the walls or Orders; other
wise this miserable and fatal bungle would
not have been made. If the walls
were not substantial enough to stand
the new strain put upon them, or
the main transverse girdcr was inn
perfectly placed or defective in any way,
tho intelligence of the architect, if he has
any, should have detected the danger and
guarded against it. This brutal neglect of
important details in building can have no
other results than death and ruins wherever
it prevails We now call on the authorities
to cause careful examination to be made of
these walls and Orders. Any defects in
either can ut once be detected by experts.
If such are discovered then let those respon-
sible for them be summarily and severely
punished as dangerous criminals.

and Can be propelled at . speed that is
equal to that Of the average iron-clad in the
Turkish navy. By means of her six propel-
lers and powerful steering gear the popoffka
can be turned ALMOST on her centre, and
thus keep her guns continually pointed
toward the enemy. We are inclined to
believe that Russia has q naval force in re-
serve in the Black Sea which. although not
great is decidedly respectable. Tho secrecy
with which she has lately surrounded her
progress in shipbuilding and the fact that
she possesses ample resources for the con-
struction of ships and heavy guns at her
naval establishments at Taganrog and Nico-
laieff supports this view. If. therefore, in
the course of the war now commenced
Russia should pop off Turkish iron-clad
now and then with her circular turreted
ships the Sultans feet may become less
enterprising in its crossings along the coast
of the Caucasus and prefer temporary
anchorage in the Golden Horn to perma-
nent one in the muddy bottom of the Black

The popoHk rs.

In o recent article on the "Belligcrent
Navies" we called attention to some Russian
iron-clads of novel construction, known rs
"popofflxas" or circular turret ships, and
intended for offensive md defensive warfare
in the Black Sea. We publish to-day q full
description of this newest type of iron-clad,
illustrated by cuts showing the peculiar
form and construction adopted. Although
the honor Of the invention is claimed
by moro than one British shipbuilder
it really belongs to the Russian Ad-
miral Popoff, who has put his ideas into
practical shape and given his government
two ships, the Vice Admiral PopoH and
the Novgorod, that may soon work mis-
chief among the Turkish fleet. AS to the
fighting qualities of the popoffkas we can
only judge by the fact that they carry very
thick armor on their exposed parts, are
armed with powerful Krupp riHed guns,
