this been genuine alarm much confusion and
worse danger might have arisen. 1t would
seem to be the part of wisdom to have matters

ing gong defects should be present at the side
OF the gong in his house when the noon test is

with Robbers on the baltimore and
ohio Railroad.

BALTMosF, MD, April 2O.-Tbe first
intelligence OF q desperate attempt to rob
an Express Agent Of $4,000 at Point
of Rocks on Thursday night was
received here this evening. About 6:3O
p. NJ. one of the Eastern bound express
trains on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road stopped at Washington Junction for
water. stephen Miller the Express
A gent, took advantage Cf the stoppage -
look into the safe and see if the money,
some $4,000 was all right. Whilst thus
engaged he heard voice say: eyes, got
the money; let's 60 for him" Looking
up, Miller saw two Misunderstanding men
peerlng in the door Of the car. He
grasped his revolver, resolving to defend
uls trust to the last. Upon seeing the
weapons, four Of the desperadoes ran of
and made their escape to the woods. One
Of them boldor than the rest, who was
armed with u heavy club, leaped into the
car and endeavOred TO knock the weapon
from the hands Of the messenger, who,
seeing tha. he had bu. one to cope with,
did not think it necessary ID fire.
The fellow, however, continued to ad-
vance. when Miller seized HIM, and n
desperate struggle eusued between the
two men. The woult-be robber WAS Il
poweriIl fellow, and was getting the better
of the agent when at tnis iuncture the
bsggsge.master and one OF the brake
men, nearing the noise Of the scutlle,
hsstened TO the express car to see wnat
was the matter. Upon observing their
approach, the robber jumped from an
open door on the opposite side of the car
a1d made his escape, leaving Mr.. Miller
master of the situation, with his money
Intact, but quite fa.igued from the results
of his severe struggle.

SIPPED THE BUD.
EIopement OF n Young Lady with
Her AUnIs COachman.

ST. LOUIS, April 2O.-A special to the
Republican from Davenport gives an ac-
count OF q rather singular and ut the
same time rather distressing social SEN
sst,on, which was developed at that place
this morning. Miss Frances Reed, q
handsome, intelligent, attractive youD Z
girl, fell desperately in love with coach
man in the service OF her aunt, who lives
at Newton, lows The coachman
took care to cultivate the affections ofthe
foolish child, and the affair eliminated
in IN elopement last night. The couple
went direct to Davenport, intending, as
the girl believes, to be married ~ Rock
Island to-day. At Davenport, however
the iugirives were Iabbed by the officers
OF the law, and detained. The girl will
be surrendered to her people, who are
wealthy and respectable.
The man, Sam. Boyle by name, turns
out to be well known thiefaud burg lar,
tor whom the police cf several localities
havo long been on tho lookout.
The unfortunate young lady appears to
be thoroughly infatuated with her scape-
grace lover, and avows her determination
to marry him at all hazards. 1t is
hoped, however, that his conviction Of
felony and incarceration may serve to
hring her TO some realization Of the atti-
tude in which she stands.
