DIR. HamiIton's Cautious Expressions.
NEw York, September 9th.-The TIqJuRe'S
Long Branch special says: A reporter inter
viewed DIR. Hamilton, who said The Presi-
dent has made some progress, but he Is not
out of danger, and it would be well for the
public to postpone celebrations and thanks
givings for a time. The doctors and attend
ants are human beings as well as professional
men. Theirheart strings have been kept at great
tension for long time. A change for the better
has caused rebound in their hopes, which
finds expression in somewhat extravagant
terms. Moreover they were talking for the
most part to persons who have closely fol-
lowed the varying features Of the disease in
their minutest fluctuations, and who were ex-
pected to place the expressions of confident
hope in the scales against events which had
preceded them, and gather the truth from the
balance. The result is cheering.
The Missouri Train Robbery.
INDEPENDENCE, September 9th.-Great ex-
citement exists on account OF the arrest of
Creek Chapman and Jonn Burglara, two of
the gang who robbed the express train
Wednesday night. They were arrested near
the scene of the robbery, four miles from here,
by Sheriff Carson and posse from Salina
county. A brother of Chapman gave them
away" to the officers, as well as several 9TH
ers, whose arrest will soon follow. The par
ties when caught were heavily armed with
rifles and navy revolvers. They were identi-
fed beyond doubt by the material used in
patching for rife bullets found on their per
sons, it being exactly the same as the piece Of
goods left at the scene of the outrage, and
there is no doubt that the remainder of the
gang, except the leader, reside in the neigh
borhood. The leader was undoubtedly the
notorious Jesse James. The entire country
is aroused and under arms, and this and ad-
jaeent counties are being secured in search of
the fugitives. No news has come from any
of the pursuing parties except Sheriff Car
son, since early this morning. It is believed
that the hunt will result in the capture of the
entrie gang.
Express messenger Fox was not as badly
hurt as at first supposed, though his injuries
h. h.
state that the money and valuables taken
from the passengers will amount to at least
SIS, 900, and the amount taken from the ex-
press safe is fully as large, though the express
company will not give the exact figures, and
attempt to make the loss appear much smaller
than it really was.
Governor Crittenden has sent kilograms to
all parts of the State, ordering the county
officers to organize for immediate pursuit.
Sam Chapman, another of the gang, has
Just been brought in, and more arrests are
looked for immediately.
KANSAS CITY Mo- J. September 9th-Gov-
ernor Crittenden has arrived, and has been
in conference with the local authorities in re-
gard to the best methods of capturing the.
robbers In an interview he confesses that
he is powerless under the law to offer any
large reward, and says he has simply come to
be near the scene of action to impress upon
the local officers the Importance of doing their
duty and sparing no efforts to capture the
robbers. The County Marshals have several
posses out in various parts of the county, and
by the advice of the Governor will start out
others.
The Disaster In Michigan.
PORT Huron, September 9th.-The under
signed make this second report, after visiting
the burned region and receiving the reports
of large number of persons familiar with
the facts, and in most instances giving us the
names of the victims and the sufferers al
ready ascertained. In twenty towns in Sani-
lac and Huron counties, we find over 200
persons destroyed by fire, including whole
families lost. We have a list already
of more than 1,5OO families burnt
out, in most cases losing farm-houses, barns,
cattle, horses, grain, bogs-every thing of
which they had in most instances abundant
possession few hours before-without food,
shelter, clothing, and almost without hope
They huddle together in crowds or wander
half-crazed alone till help comes to them.
They must not perish. They must not be-
come exiles. They must have food, clothing,
habitations, winter wheat for sowing, grass
seed, hay, and thousand things, till the next
harvest comes.
Construction Train Wrecked.
GALVESTON, September 9th.-The Nescs'
Castroville special says: A construction train
of nine cars was wrecked yesterday. One
man was killed and fifteen wounded.
