ANOTHER BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.

On the branch of Chicago IL Alton railroad
leading across Missouri to Kansas City, and
about 30 miles east Of SAID city, is little sta
ton known as Glendale, consisting OF water
tank, a small station house and three or four
DWELLINGS, forlorn, dismal place, nesting
in a dark hollow. About O'Clock on We'd
nesday evening the place was invaded by a
ban of fifteen mounted ruilians in disguise.
The inhabitants were driven into the small de-
pot building, where were also Mr.. W. +.
Bridges, assistant auditor Of the road and the
station agent Mcintlre. After robblng the lat
ter two of their watches and loose change and
locking all of them INTO the depot building
stationing a guard at the door, the rutlians
awaited the arrival Of the eastern bound eX-
press train that had left Kansas City IL 6
O'Clock The switchman had been compelled
to put out signal light for the train to stop,
and the telegraph instruments in the building
had been smashed and the wires cut. When
the train arrived and halted two men instant
ly covered the fireman and engineer with their
revolvers, threatening them with instant death
if they stirred. The conductor, j. {. Green
man, had jumped off to see what was the
matter, and was rushed into the depot and
locked up. Members of the gang walked up
and down by the passenger coaches, firing
their guns and pistols, and threatening with
death any passenger who should attempt to
leave the cars. Three men climbed into the
express car and ordered the startled mes
senger, Grimes, TO deliver up his keys On
manifesting a disposition to resist, he was
knocked down with the butt of a revolver and
the keys taken from him The safe was open
ed and the robbers took packages estimated to
contain $4,000. This accomplished all i'm
nediately mounted and rode away, allowing
the train to move on without further interrupt
ion. The whole occupied less than ten min
utes But one man among the robbers was
without mask, and him several positively
identified as the notorious Jesse James, who
Is 30 well known from his connection with
sundry similar exploits within the last few
years. Two hours after the occurrence a spec
ial train was started from Kansas City with
heavy force to pursue the robbers. The latter
had moved off in a south-easterly direction,
taking to the woods AS before morning, how
ever the bluffs of the Blue river IN that direct
ion were surrounded with horsemen, great con-
fidence was felt that captures would be made

St Louis on Wednesday, in connection with
her annual Industrial Exposition, had mon
ster street show after the fashion of the mardi-
gras procession in New Orleans. The leading
feature OF II was % floats of moving tableaux
supposed to illustrate IN n grotesque manner,
the development of science and art. What
interests outsiders most however, is, that the
St Louis Republican, has issued monster pic
torial sheet so illustrated that IN connection
with its graphic descriptions one can see the
whole show nearly as well sitting in an easy
Wednesday of being crushed to death to see it
in the streets of st. Louis.

FOREIGN NEWS.

In spite OF contrary advice of the ameer,
who is with the British army, Gen. Roberts
pushed his advance on Cabul so that on Mon
day he was in sight of the city. The natives
came out in great force and occupied range
of heights, but were attacked with such impet.
uosity by the British that by night all their
positions were carried, twelve guns captured
and the enemy pursued until dark Gen. Rob,
erts is now concentrating his forces and expects
to make final assault on the city on Sunday.
The land question in Ireland continues to
occupy public attention. There was a meeting
of $4,000 at Cork on Monday, but the speakers
were divided in sentiment. VIM. Shaw, men,
Der of parliament from Cork and home ruler,
extolled Gladstones act, that proposes the land
owners shall sell out at fair prices to those who
work the soil Parnel, on the other hand, de
clared that the tenants required no acts of par
lament; they should rely on passive physical
resistance to unjust demands. So long as En-
glshmen governed Ireland they would resort
to robbery and oppression.
To prevent further disturbances at these
meetings, more soldiers are being sent to Ire
land
The tenant system in England is scarcely
less troublesome. The Duke of Beaufort, at

that the English farmers could not compete

same advice.

gives very dscouraging outlook for Green
backism IN Wisconsin. 1t says that Mark ii.
Barnum, one OF the party's leading lights in
that state, after issaing flaming posters and
paiading the streets with drum and fife, could
get out an audience Of but 80 Democrats, Re
publicans and small boys in Madison on
Thursday evening Of last week, and that "this
is about the state Of affairs throughout the
state. The Greenback element is melting
away" As the Democratic creed embraces all
there ever was Of good in Greenbackism, Ieav-
ing that party with 'fatIsm" as its only distinct
i've feature, II is impossible to keep the party
together on such an issue.
