ANOTHER case OF train robbing by
highwaymen, and the carrying away OF
Se5,000 in gold coin, took place on the
Union Pacific railroad at place near
Cheyenne called Big Springs, at ten
o'clock on Wednesday night. When the
train stopped at the station 1t was board
ed by fifteen masked men, who, after
securing all the tram men, robbed the
express company of $4,000 in gold and
$500 in currency, and then relieved the
passengers OF their watches and money.
The robbers went about the work in a
leisurely manner, after which they took
their departure and nothing has since
been heard of them.

THE Russians seem TO have come to
the conclusion that the best way to drive
the Turks from their position at Plevna
Is by siege, and with that intention they
have undertaken to cut of Osman
Pasha's communication. Reports from
Schipka Pass show that after some hours
hard fighting the Turks captured Fort
st. Nicholas, but the Russians returning
with heavy relnforcements they were
unable to hold it end were
compelled to retreat. A Bucharest dis
patch reports the repulse OF q Rouma-
man detachment who attacked q strong
turkish redoubt before Plevna. The

RichmOnd's Wonderful Improvements

In riding around and through our city
one is struck with the large number OF new
houses going up in every part OF it. Many
of these houses are very costly, and nearly
all OF them greatly superior TO the average
number erected in former years.
In passing along Leigh street from First
to Tenth street it is really wonderful to sec
the large number OF new houses recently
erected or in an advanced state OF compile
ton. The large and beautiful garden OF
the late Nicholas Mills has been literally
covered with 1irst-class dwellings. There
are only four or five lots in that garden not
built on, and these doubtless will soon be.
1t is lovely location, quite retired from
the hustle and noise OF business, and yet
within q few minutes walk OF the post
Office. Those OF our people who have not
driven around our city can scarcely imagine
the wonderful improvements going on in
every ward. They should be reconciled TO-
heavy taxes when they see how greatly the
streets and sidewalks are being improved.
1t is doubtful whether any southern city
(or even northern one) can boast OF more
solid improvements than Richmond has COM
pleted within the past few years. The tine
crops OF this year will doubtless relieve our
farmers to u considerable extent and will
greatly improve the business and trade OF
our city. " ~# NATIVE CITIZEN.
