ROMANCE Ann RoHBERY.
why the ArkanSaa Train Robbers En-.
Eaged IN the RuNIneaa.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, October ll.-A Little
Rock special says the trio OF train robbers,
Cox, Delany and NIunroe were placed in
the penitentiary last evening. They are in
good spirits, and take the sentence coolly.
All OF them are like the average country
boys Cox and Munroe are printers, hay-
ing worked in printing Office ut San Au-
gustine, Texas, prior to the robbery. De.
lany, in an interview, related the story OF
the robbery, in substance, thus ave are
We have good relatives there, and hope
they will never hear Of cur disgrace. All
Of us were in love, and the girls loved lis.
We had no money, and did not see how
we could support them II we married. We
were determined to get married, and so
laid our plans to get money. We read
about the James boys in the papers and
books, and saw how easy II was TO rob
trains and get away, and decided to
rob q train. We left Rome three weeks
ago yesterday, coming direct to Arkansas.
After rObbing the train we did not think
we would be pursued. We were going
back home with our money and marry Our
girls and settle down. We had no accom-.
plces, and we planned the whole thing our
selves. We only got 5000 or 5000 in
cash from the Express company, the bal.
anCe being in bank checks. Munroe and
kept the bulk OF this, and all OF it with the
exception Of few dollars was stolen by
the men who captured us, and hope they
will be sent TO keep us company. l nm
sorry we failed to get away, but we acted
like fools after we got the money and have
no one to blame but ourselves. Q. g.
Moore, one OF the men who captured Mon.
roe, and Delaney says the report OF the
captors robbing the robbers Is untrue. He
further says the money was divided for
safety, each person agreeing TO take an
equal sum, and that they have already de.
livered to the express company $3.50 oil
the money they took frotn the robbers.

IOWA ELECTION.
No Definite Returns-A Great FALLING on
In the Vote.

Drs MoNEs, Ia, October 11.-1t has
rained here all day, and reports are that
the rain has been general all over the State.
The indications now are that not over q
two-thirds vote has been..cast. A hard thun-
der storm with high winds Is now prevail.
ing, and It is probable that this will pre-
vent the getting Of many election returns
tonight, especially as In this State none of
the ballots are counted until after the polls
are closed.
In this city only 3,lO2 votes were polled,
q falling of Of over 800 since last year.
The tickets are badly scratched and II will
take nearly oil night TO count them.
The total poll OF the State last year was
1000 Partial reports from nine coun-
ties indicate that there will bG falling of
this year oi possibly G0,00O. OF DeH
Moines alone there Is falling off Of OS7
votes.
Returns come in slowly, owing TO the
prevalence Of q storm. The SdE Register
has the partial returns from nineteen
counties which show a falling of Of 25 per
cent. in the. total vote, the three political
parties buShlnlnR hUOuL All elual ieLauNe
loss. These returns are mainly from scat
tering townships.
Only two counties are reported with any
general returns. One Of them, Webster, ID
reported as electing Wright, Republican,
| 10 the Legislature; the first Republican
since 1860. Jasper reports the whole Re
publican ticket elected. The Legislature
Two years ago stood, 81 Republicans to 70
Democrats In the House, and Al Repub.
licaus 70 0 Democrats In the Senate.
The indications are that the Republicans
will lose thtee or four members ot the
House this year and hold their own in the
Senate, with the probability Of gaining one
or two. This would give the Republicans
some ninety majority in The Legislature,
and the Republican State Committee estl
mate at this hour that the Republican State
majority over the Democrats will be $4,000
and over all parties 10000

from one-half to tw0thirds of the vote o.
this city had not been cast. 1t is known
that heavy vote was polled from 3 p. NJ
to o P, NJ. This, however, will not bring
the local vote up to that Of 1880. The fall
ing off In the city and county is estimated
at nearly one-iourth, Sufficient is not
known at this hour 10 determine which
party gain on account Of the falling oil, ex-
cept in one or two isolated cases. These
were in the townships and will be against
Bookwalter.
The wards viii come in slow on account
Of the heavy scratching on the local ticket
in some quarters There was enough
scratching, both Of Foster and Bookwalter,
to make the result looked for here with
considerable interest, Some well known
Republicans and Methodists scratched
Foster and perhaps corresponding mum.
Der Of Democrats failed to vote or scratched
BOokwalter.
Forty-four townships show o net Demo-
cratic gain OF $50, and total Temperance
vote OF 247, AT the same rate the temper
ance vote will be about 10000 Compari-
sons in these returns are based on the
election OF October, 1880, for Secretary OF
State.
lGlOP. N.:-lG6 wards and precincts show
net Democratic gain OF 27S. There are
1899 wardsan precincts in the State, At
this rate Of gain Bookwalter will gain in
the State less than 1000 which would leave
Foster a'majority Of 1900. The total vote
OF Foster and Bookwalter in the 100 pre-
cincts Is $500; Temperance vote 900

OF the Republican State Central Commit
tee declines to claim anything yet, except
that the Republicans have carried the
State. He says the returns have not come
in sufficiently to Justify him in fixing the
estimated majoIty. Clark Irvine, Chair
man OF the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, says the indications are that Fos-
ters plurality, will be about 5000, and that
the complexion OF the Legislature will de-
pend upon the result In Cincinnati and
Hamilton county.
CLEVELAND, October ll.-Returns come
in slowly on account Of the scratched tick
cts. It Is estimated that Foster will have
four thousand majority in the county, and
the county ticket will be elected by the av.
erage Republican majority OF two thous-
and five hundred.
ClSCINSATi, October ll.-There is q
small prospect Of being able to give the
returns from Hamilton county tonight
At half-past 10 not one precinct had been
heard from in full and only three or four
had given reports M TO the head Of the
ticket. These all indicate falling of in

with slight Republican gains. Nothing
whatever, at this hour, to base an estimate
OF the result In the county ticket, except
that more scratching was done by the Re-
publicans than the Democrats.

Occupancy Of those streets, especially the

grievance would become an intolerable
nuisance in case the principal east and

vastly prefer that the extension should go

be such nuisance that the people would
wish the extension in Jericho rather than
