Train Robbers in Wisconsin.

A special dispatch from Milwaukee gives
full particulars of an attempt to wreck and
rob train on the Wisconsin Central railway
half way between Elkhart lake and Plymouth,
about fifty miles from Milwaukee, which re-
sembles, in some respects, the operations of
the James brothers. Near midnighta wood
train, running wild from the north, when
about mile and half from Plymuth,
struck an obstruction on the track by which
the engine of the train was ditched, but no
very great damage done. Following the
wood train was the regular night passenger,
bound south to Milwaukee. The conductor
Of the wood train Immediately sent a brake
man back up the line of the track to flag the
passenger. The brakeman started to do as
ordered, and when he had gone about forty
@r fifty rods up the track he was suddenly
confronted by three men. All three were
coarsely dressed, one having on q blouse
and oyeralls, and the brakeman Immediately
supposed they were section men belong
ing to the railroad. He said, "Hello!"
The men replied, Hello! did you get
your pay to-day when the pay-car went
through" Then the brakeman had his sus-
picions aroused and replied, mo; we were
side tracked, and the pay went by us; did
you fellows get your pay?" Yes, we got
ours, was the reply. In the meantime the
brakeman concluded that he was confronted
by robbers, and by the parties who had en-
deavored to rob the train, and he had put
his hand in his pocket, where he had two
500 gold pieces, with the intention Of slip
ping his money out and letting it fall in the
snow. He got it out unobserved and let it
drop. One Of the gold pieces in its fall
struck the iron rail and the robbers heard
the chink. Then one of them suddenly
stuck mp revolver in the brakeman's face
and told him that they knew he had his
pay, and that he must give it up. At the
very same moment one Of the men
said he had dropped it. Then they took
from the brakeman his lantern and began
to search for the money, and found it in a
moment. He then declared that the $40
was all he had, and the robbers told him to
get out of there as quick as he could, they
ut the same time leaving the track and start
ing out into the woods. The brakeman
knew the passenger train was close at hand,
and run up the track and succeeded in stop
ping it. Then an investigation was made,
and it was found that an obstruction COM
posed principally ofan iron rail, that would
be certain to throw any fast-m moving train
from the track and completely wreck it, had
been placed upon the road ut point just
one and half miles north of Plymouth,
where the forest lined the roadway on either
side, and far enough away from the town to
admit Of robbing any train that might be
wrecked, and insure subsequent escape.

THE RAILROADS.

It is asserted that Jay Gould now owns
Sic, O0O, 900 in the Chicago and Northwest
ern company, and aims to require control
of that road.
The Denver Utah & Pacific Railway COM
pany has been incorporated under the laws
of Colorado with capitalization Of $50, 600

a line of railway across the snowy range.
The Pittsburg, Huntsville & Buffalo Rail-
way company, the Buffalo, Pittsburg &
Western, the Salamanca. Bradford & Allie
CLANCY, the river railroad of Pennsylvania,
the Salamanca, Bradford & Alleghan river
railroad, and New York, Titusville & Oil
City railways, have unanimously agreed to
| consolidate their interests.
Turner that the Northern Pacific will COM
mence on the Wisconsin division this winter,
just as soon as the final survey now going
| on, locating the line, is completed; and run
| ming from Thompson junction as far east as
Superior, and will probably reach Ashland,
| if good route can be found through to that
place, and if not, will reach the Wisconsin
! Central some eleven miles south of Ashland.
Several years since all of the general Of
fcers of the Northern Pacific were located
at Brainerd, and when the most of them re-
moved to St. Paul, the record of the land
department were left there with corpse of
clerks to attend them. AS the lands COM
missioner was located in st. Pau, much in
| convenience was experie and those
| seeking land were obliged to visit Brainerd
| to perfect purchases or obtain information.
| This trouble has now been obviated by the
abandonment of the bureau at Brainerd,
and the bringing of all records, plats &C., to
| the general office at st. Paul.

A Prosperous Southern City.

The rapidity with which Atlanta, Ga, re-
covered from her disasters has never been
surpassed in the history of any southern
city. A census taken in 1866 displayed the
fact that, in spite of her disasters, the city,
population was greater than ever before,
and by the census of 1870, which was very
carelessly and incorrectly taken, Atlanta was
given 81 ,7SS inhabitants, which nnkcd her
as the second city of the state. To-day,
ten years later, she numbers about double
the population of 1870. 1t is estimated that
she is now increasing her population Mt the
rate of five thousand year. This popula-
ton is made up of a rushing driving and
restless throng, that is not surpassed in en-
ergy, and enterprise by any other southern
community.

is called-a large lot of land having been
leased in central location for the erection
of the buildings. The stock is already

Then they find that tho bags arc rotten, and
gold and notes are all spread about and COW
cred with dirt, the latter being scarcely dis
tinguishable. Then there is gathering Of
it up to be washed, and in tho end not much
is lost, although throughout the proceedings
Pepys is in dread that the neighbors will see
and hear whit is going on.

The Flight Of HARDWOOD.
Telegram from New York.

NVW h.
The flight of n. b. HARDWOOD from Min
neapolis confirms fears that were expressed
here privately last Thursday by those who
had watched the case closely. At that time
a gentleman engaged in the dry goods bus
mess stated that he was convinced HARDWOOD
would turn up missing before long, but he
hoped 10 publicity would be given the fact,
as it was desired to guard the bankrupt as
closely as possible, and give him no inkling
that any such fears were entertained on the
part of his creditors here. The creditors
were sure, he said, that they had him secure,
and that even if he had contemplated tax
ing such step, he might delay it until they
had placed sufficient protection about their
claims to make further loss impossible
