The Railroad War.

New YORK, July 1S.-The war
among competing railroads leading
west still continues To-day scalp
ers are selling tickets to Chicago for
nine dollars. Persons purchasing
tickets to points further west than
Chicago do not find it an easy mat
ter to get reduction on the old
prices. There appears to be a war
of prices within this state; the great
est reduction being on tickets to
Chicago Many persons are taking
advantage of this war and are spend
ing their vacations in western cities.
The scalpers have no idea as to when
the present war will cease; mean
while they all advertise that they are
selling tickets cheaper than any other
person III New York. Some persons
claim that they have purchased
tickets to Chicago to-day for s7.75.
TO shippers who have merchandise
to forward from here, there is tariff
Of rates which differs somewhat from
the authorized schedule. A ship
mcnt of one thousand bags of cof-
fee was recently made by one of the
fast freight lines to East st. Louis at
So cents per hundred pounds, a cut
of 10 cents from the regular tariff.
Considerable intesest is felt in the
next meeting of the Eastern agents
appointed for this week. 1t is be-
lieved that the outstanding time con-
tract will be an impossible barrier to
any lasting harmony.

Daring Train Robbery.

KANSAS Cry, July 16.-Informa-
ton has been received here by an
incoming Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific train. Of daringly planned
and successful robbery, which oc-
CURED at Winslow, station on the
Rock Island road, a short distance
east of Cameron. The robbers were
six III number. and supposed to be
under the leadership of Jesse James.
The men boarded the train which
leaves the city at $50 p. m, at CAM
eron. At Winslow, where the train
stopped, they stood up in the aisle
of the car with drawn revolvers; one
of the bandits, a man with heavy
black wiliskers, advanced with re-
volver in each hand toward A1r.
Westfold. the conductor, and ordered
him to throw up his hands. The
conductor was slow in complying
with his demands, and was shot
through the heart by the deperado.
One of the other men then shot
John Mccullough, a stone cutter OF
Wilton Junction, Iowa, through the
head The men then went through
the train to the express car and over
powered the Y. s. Express messen-
ger, Charles Murray, of this city,
who was intimidated into opening
the safe from which five thousand
dollars were taken. The desparadoes
then went to the engine and told the
engineer to start his train. This he
could not do on account of the auto
matte brakes, and he was at once
utilized as a target by the robbers.
The engineer put out the lights in
the cab, and crawled along the foot
board to the pilot, extinguished the
head light and lay down on the pi-
lot. The robbers made no search
for him, but departed. No attempt
was made to rob the passengers.
The populace about Winslow rose
up en- masse. and armed men are
now industriously seeking the des-
peradoes.
