PAIL CLIFFORD OUTDONE.

The stories of the highway robberles OF
the olden lime pale before the daring and
dash of the vas sabouds who cart1red a
whole train on the Union Pacific Railway.
This wholecals robbery was a piece OF
news to the travelling public, and the rob-
berry of a station on the Virginia Midland
Railway was scarcely less sensational. THIS
last piece of business was undertaken, 1t Is
stated, by gang Of tramrs, who et1ec'ual'y
cleaned out the station and then attempted
to CAPTURE a train in the manner Of the
Western thieves. They were not as well
orrsnized asthe masked robbers, however,
and their attempt to seize train was a
failure. Clearly, an example of the stern
es, kind must be made Of these villains if
travellers are to have full confidence ia
the ability of the railway companies to
protect life and property,

AGREEING UPON THEIR SHARE

lis now announced that Count Andras-
~ and Prince Bismarck have readiusted at
Sa'zburg the alliance Of tie three Empe-
ro~s for the control of the EAstern question.
This means that it has been found necessary
to make rev arrangements Tor the spolia-
ton Of Turkey. The original expectation
Of the allies was that Rvssa would make
short work Of the Turks. That expectation
having been Disappointed It has become
necessary for Au,tria apd Germany to
agree anew upon plan Of settlement which
thev will compel Turkey 10 accept, ard
which viii permit RuSs'a ito bring the
war 10 close without such manifest
humilistions OF the imperial house of Ro-
mamotf As would pretty certainly bring
shau. revolutionary outbreak within the
Russian dominions. Count AndIassv and
Prince Bismarck are very able men, but i
will task their ability 10 the utmost TO de
wise such plan. And vet it mus, be de
vised. ana. being devised il must he er
forced, or Europe will drift injo pe-ils th,
magnitude Of which lew living men Cal
fairly estimate.

UlrGE DEFAJ.CATION.

John s. Motor, the President of the
Market Street Railroad in Philadelphia,
s,so President OF the Permanent Exhibit
tion has confessed to the oTerissue of ten
,horssrd shares Of the stock Of the rail.
road. This Owe issue at the par price OF
the stock would amount t. 100000, which
is 100000 more than the capital stock Of
the road, but If calculated at the price the
stock has been selling for lately the amount
of the detAlcation would reach the enor-
nous figure of 81, 500, 600. What is the
world coming to? Three savings banks
failed last week. carrying away from the
poor abou, $4,OQs.0Oo. This, with $500,
coo ssddlel on the Market Street Railroad
stockholders, with petty trihe of Sl9o,ooC
carried off by masked robbers from q
Union Pacific Railroad train, is not bad
for six days.
The Market Street roa1 will have tt
stand up and bear the over-issue If held by
innocent parties for valuable consldera
tion. Such was held to ue law in TIT
Harlem Railroad case Nv 2nty-hve year
ago. and the precedent established BY tha
case has r"led like cases ever since.

world that J. Madison Wells, President

the most upright and high.toned gen.

OF the New Orleans criminal court,
last week, instructed the grand jury TO

son Wells, President OF the Returning
Board, for forgery and perjury. We
believe Mr.. Hayes--or was il the good
President Grant-said something once
upon a timo to tho effect that no man
could afford TO accept the Presidency
if bis election was tainted with fraud.
Senator Sherman ought TO stand up in
his place in the Senate and tell the peo.

Senator Sherman will rise and explain,
