Bold Train RObbers-The Express Conn
 Pany's Safe Robbed of S3O,O00-TwO
 H1ndred Men in Pursuit of the Thieves,
 INDEPENDENCE, Sept. S.-Nine masked rob- bers stopped the Chicago and Alton western express and mail train, at 8 o'clock last night, two miles west of GlendalL They took possession of the train and held the pas sengers in terror with loaded rifles and re- volvers. Two of the robbeors kncked down the express messenger and blew open the safe in the express car robbing it of ESQ., 900. They then went through the pockets of every passenger, taking all that was valua- ble The whole affair occupied less than if teen minutes. After securing their booty the whole party rode off into the woods. The train men made show of resistance, but be- ing unarmed ttey could effect nothing The spot selected for the bold deed was in de nse woods two miles from any habitation The train was stopped by a red lantern and Instructions on the track The train ran in to Kansas City and gave the alarm, and Chief of Police Speers started out at once with fifty men on horseback. A special train with posse under Marshal Murphy also went im- mediately to the scene, and large bodies of men are being sent out from all points in different directions The whole county is aroused and intense excitement prevails. The leader of the party answers to the d. scrip tion of that of the leader of the party that robbed the Chicago and Rock Island train at Winston, July 17.
 CHICAGO, Sept. s.-The Duly Neaos special from Kansas City says: Two hundred men are now searching in the neighborhood of Glendale for the Chicago and Alton train robbers. About 8 o'clock this morning a party of searchers approached Blue Mills Landing and found the ferryman up and ap- parently waiting for some one. Just before descending to the ferry the party met two men who hastily jumped into the bushes bordering the road. and rapidly retreated. Knowing the odds against them the officers did not follow, but started on to the ferry. When they reached that point, however, the ferryman had taken to the opposite bank and was rapidly moving off on horseback. From this it is thought the robbers have been unable to reach Clay county, the other side of the river, and must therefore be concealed within three miles of the scene of the rob- harv

The first callers at Elberon found the sur roundings very quiet. Prominent among those on the piazza was Dr. Reyburn, the only one of the withdrawn physicians who remained there all night. In answer to en- quiries he stated that he was present at the morning examination of the President and stayed long enough to see that his pulse was a little above 100. He did not know what the temperature was. He understood that the President had slept well the latter part of the night and that his condition this morning was considered by the physicians in charge to be satisfactory. Dr. Reyburn said Dr. Barnes and Dr. Woodward had gone to Washington. their duties demanding their presence at once. He could not say just when he would return to Washington
