The weather is cool; the thermometer,
at 3 p. NJ, marked 80 degrees, and at . P.
NJ. 81. A light frost is reported in Jeffer-
son county this morning. Some think
there was a light frost here, but no one
saw it. The cool weather for the past few
days has caused hopes of an early frost,
and q light Increase in new cases yesterday
and a decrease Of deaths, caused every one
to feel more hopeful; but to-day the death
list doubles that of yesterday, and the new
cases are greatly increased, but the num-
Der can not be given as the physicians do
not report. The deaths yesterday were ID,
to-day 81; among them being G.. NJ. Carr,
the telegraph operator, who came On the
first Of September from st. Louis.

Hor CREEK, Wy, September IA.
The north-bound coach was stopped
about IL o'clock last night by six armed
men. Two passengers were aboard, one
being a lady, who was unmolested, and Mr..
Goldworthy, from whom they took SO,
but returned it On being informed that he
was a laboring man. After robbing the
| mail sacks, the coach was allowed to pro-
| coed north. Meeting the o coach, 1t
was warned. When the down coach reached
the place of robbery it was halted, and
while the robbers we're engaged in going
through the pockets of the two passengers
and the mail sacks, the two messengers,
who were riding about 200 yards in the
rear of the coach, came up, dlsmounted,
| and crept up within Is yards OF the rob-
bers, when they were commanded to halt
and fired upon. The fire was returned,
| and one Of the robbers fell dead, while the
others retreated to a gulch, keeping up a
steady fire ON the messengers, who re-
turned it, but dared not leave their posi-
ton. The coach in the meantime con-
tinued on, AID after waiting some time,
and seeing that they were not strong
enough to dislodse the robbers, the mes
sengers mounted and rejoined the coach,
leaving the mail sacks lying in the road
near the body of the dead robber. The
messengers are confident that two OF the
robbers who got away are badly wounded.
Bound to Rob Uncle Sam.
WASHINGTON, September IA.
The Postofice Department shares the
apprehensions Of the Union Pacific Rail
road Company, that the mail trains from
California, carrying safes filled with coin,
are liable at any time to be waylaid by
highwaymen. All the guards for the
safes have been removed since the
railroad companies have required the
Government to pay their fare. Unarmed
postal clerks, who have enough other
duties to occupy all their time, are
the only protection Of the safes. In
case of loss by the present system the Gov
ernment is not Unidentified, and Postmaster
lyner, therefore,, tHllhS III was uuHjsc lOi
the Government to take the business o
transportation from the express companies
