On Wednesday night train was stop

Kansas City. The express messenger
refusing to give up his keys was badly
hurt, and they were then taken by force.
The passengers were also robbed, several
men preceding with shot guns followed
by Others who collected the plunder and
they in turn were followed by armed
men. 1t was one of the boldest robber-
les on record. The governor of Mis-
souri, has called out special posse who

cit is said that an understanding ex-

stantly in attendance on the President
respecting their fees. They have agreed,
it is said, to charge 500 day each. 1t
is also said that DIR. Agnew will charge

of the two surgical operations which he
has performed, besides consultation fees,
while DIR. Hamilton will also charge

of Tufts College, Massachusetts, possesses any :

invention is described as being very sim de
consisting of nothing more than the apparatus
usually employed In medical applications of
electricity battery connected with an inddc-
ton COT. The receiver Is one of the extremities
OF the telegraph wire c0miI e from the Undue
ton coil The Dolbear invention has been
tested with highly satisfactory results, showing
that 1t works over long lines OF wire with great
ease and facility, the sounds being distinct and
entirely free from the humping noise which so
frequently. In the Bell telephone, makes the
The utility OF the telephone causes 1t to be a
profitable subject for the study OF inventors

uents would be made The only difficulty In
the way OF cheapening It's use Is not In the In

titioD between two or more lines cannot ex,s
without deprlglny the appliance of considerab Die
OF Its value TO patrons. One telephone company
connects al sub scribers, while several CO n
panies might divide the business firms up
among them so that half the time the conase

could only be overcome by competing comoa-

phone Is too expensive, as at present esJab-
lished, to be CT general utility.

Creating q Party.

A meeting was held In London yesterday 10 :,
tie purpose Of forming a new political party
ana the feature OF interest was the presence Of
Sir Stafford Northcote, the tory leader, aud the
prominent part he took 10 the proceedings. He
Is reported by cable as having been the prlncl-
Pal speaker. This Is significant. 1t Is pretty
srong Indication that the tory leader despairs
OF overfhrowiIg the Gladstone government by
regular straightfor ward assault. The pres
ent government Is, to judge from the action OF
the opposition leader, much more strongly en-.
trenched In popular favor than has been com
monty suIpcs ed On this side the Atlantic. The
meeting had Ia view the organization OF more
conservative party TO be known as the "Con.
stitutioDal Union" Sir Stafford Northcote
pointed TO the results o: late local elections for
members Of Parliament and the apparent con
servative Uory) gains to show that the sin
st1Dcts OF the conservative classes throughout
TIE Kingdom reyolted against the agrarian
communislic and revolutionary spirit which
seemed to rue the present administration" II
the tendency of public sentiment Is to revolt
against the present government, whN should
not the organized conservative party which so
recently controlled British affairs take ad-
vantage OF II? Why disband an Organized
PARTY TO form new one? Sir Stafford was feed
ing his hearers With hope he did not feel The
tories have, apparently, abandoned any hope
OF regaining power through their organization,
which has so frequently been victorious. They
may start new party, but 1t will be another
thing TO give it life, AS Carl Schurz says, 1G Is
lot 80 easy matter to create new party.

creditable-to hit one Of them under such cir

Pleasure Trips.


 Mir. H. H. Benedict, of Benedict, Pardee < Co.,, is expected home this week. Mir. Benedict and family spent most of the winter at Nassau, finding it congenial to the health of himself and family, and about four weeks ago sailed from Nassau for Florida, and has been for several weeks in Florida at St. Au- gustine. He stopped at Richmond, Va, a few days ago. Mir. Benedict and Mir c. B. Willis, of this city, on their trip to Nassau went on the steamer City of Austin, which was wrecked last Tuesday, as has been an- nounced. The commander of the steamer, Captain Stevens. who is exonerated from blame in the disaster, is a nephew of Dr. Stevens, the dentist on Chapel street, residing in Fair Haven.
 MT. A. R. Hale and family, of the Watch Hill House, returned to Westerly Tuesday morning from their winters sojourn at San ford Florida

Pretty Boats.

There are now on exhibition at the City Market three very pretty rowboats, which for style, strength, durability and beauty are unsurpassed. These boats have been built to order this spring by the veteran boat builder Elizur H. Thatcher, at his shop in East Water street at the railroad crossing They are built mostly of oak and cedar, and are all copper fastened and riveted throughout They are all vanished, which gives them a very bright and light appearance. One is twenty feet long, very narrow, and is intend ed for fast rowing, being fitted with sliding seats and all the latest improvements in the rowing art and can be used by two rowers The other two boats are eleven feet long, quite wide and able ,and will be favorites with the ladies, particularly those who may wish to use boat at the sea shore. After remain ing in the market few days they will be added to Austin fleet, and can be hired by the hour, day or week at his float on Heaton's Wharf

The Forest Fires.

The great fire in the North Madison woods occurred about II o'clock last Sunday. Vii. liam Smith had coal pit just set on fire. He was feeding it, when the sparks flew out and set the leaves on fire, which connected with the woods. George Ford had four coal pits set up on the same lot ready to be covered, containing over 15O cords of wood, besides a large quantity of wood cordedup. This was all lost The fire extended to Ebenezer Dud- ley's large piece of woods of forty-seven acres and burnt over every foot of it. Lem uel Scranton, very worthy man, and not able to stand the loss, had valuable piece of seventeen acres of young sprouting land all burned over. The people of North Guilford sympathize with MT. Scranton in his loss The fire was very destructive and burned over about 500 acres of woodland. It was with great difficulty subdued The loss must be ct least $8,000.
