It turns out that the three Arkansas train
robbers are no hardened desperadoes, but three
youthful tramps from Florida, who were
hungry barefooted and ragged, and having
read how easily railway passengers and ex-
press messengers were plundered in the West,
concluded to try their luck at the business.
In view of the fact that one of the lads is only
seyenteen years old, and another but eighteen,
and that all are n0vices in crime, the affair
assumes ludicrous aspect. We shall perhaps
next hear of a train being stopped and robbed
by a party of school-boys who have been
surreptitiously reading in their fathers hay
lofts the adventures of Dick Turpin and Six
teen String Jack.
There was a very narrow escape from
ifrightful disaster at the burning of cigar fac
tory in East Seventeenth-st. yesterday morn
ing. Two hundred men and women were en-
Iployed in the factory. Those on the lower
floors got out by the stairway, but there were
nearly one hundred ons the upper floor whose
escape by that egress and by the iron ladder
in the rear was cut off by the flames. A quick
retreat through the scuttle and over the roof
10 an adjoining building saved their lives
Had there been no means OF getting upon the
roof they would all have persisted, for few
minutes after they escaped the whole structure
was in a blaze.
The reception ceremonies In this city in honor
of the descendants of Baron Steuben have
been indefinitely postponed, owing to the de-
sire of the Government representative that the
German guests should go at once to York
town. They are expected on the Herder
ko-day. The plan for the reception had
grown 80 much by reason OF the desire OF
nearly ell the German societies OF the metrop-
bills to have part in it that the affair prom
tsed to be an unusually impressive one.
Doubtless an opportunity viii yet be found
Tor carrying it out New-York Is said
10 be the third German city in the
world. Very rarely does an occasion arise
when our Contamination citizens can tes-
6fy in public manner their love for both
kbeir fatherland and their adopted country.
In honoring the memory of Steuben they viii
pay Citing tribute of patriotism to the two
Nations, and win worthily commemorate the
services to the cause Of American liberty of
