When Mir. Gold was robbed and murdered in one of the closed and isolated compart- ments of an English railroad car there was much talk in newspapers in this country about the superiority of our passenger cars. The London Standard now makes the point that American cars give better opportunities than the English for the capture of a train by robbers, as in Missouri on Saturday

26th inst, opposite Omaha. and destroyed sew
eral cars loaded with merchandise and demol-
ished the round house of the Rock Island Road.
The car was on the track of the Rock Island,
and had been refused by the Union Pacific
Company. No one knows how the car caught
fire. but it was burning long enough before the
explosion to give the people in the vicinity a
warning to get out of the way. No one was
seriously hurt. The explosion also dug hole
in the ground Is feet deep and As feet in
diameter. The loss by the explosion Is heavy.
The scene presented on the grounds is simply
beyond description. The round-house of the
company is almost wholly demolished, the car
and repair-shops, 90 by 100 feet, were COM
pletely leveled, the freight-house, 20x1O0 feet,
is total wreck, and about fifty box-cars were
blywn to pieces. Four engines were buried in
the ruins of the round-house, but are not
greatly damaged. Patrick Barnett, fireman of
the engine which was in the house at the time,
was in the cab of the engine when the explosion
took place, but miraculously escaped, not even
scratched. His coat, which he had hung out
side of the cab. was torn in shreds. Four or
five small residences 600 rods south of the spot
were demolished, and the occupant of one, Mr..
Van Buren,, was struck. by large piece of a
wheel, and will probably die A rock weighing
400 pounds was blown from the foundation ot
the round-house three-quarters of mile, and
in falling sunk almost out of sight in the earth.

About 4 O'Clock on the morning Of the Goth

Camden, place Of several hundred inhabl-
tants. twelve miles west of Nashville, Ill. Mrs.
Or. Watts was killed instantly by falling walls.
Ihere were not two houses in the place which
were not injured more or less. The building
occupied as drug store, post Office and Masonic
hall was blown down and burned, entailing q
loss OF about $4,000. The total loss in the vii
lage Is estimated at $4,000. Two churches,
Methodist and Christian, were completely de-
molished. Along the entire path of the storm.
dwelling houses and barns were torn and twist
ed into all shapes Fences, orchards, corn
fields and hard wood timber groves were COM
pletely riddled, and places the corn fields ap-
pear like stalk fields in the early spring. The
estimated loss to the farming country within
five miles of the village is $150,00O. The storm
lasted five minutes and was accompanied by
heavy hail and rain.

NV. A. Croffut's Naples Letter.


I have now been shaved in seven king
doms and in six languages. They oil
perform the ceremony differently. But
they all, from Scotland to Naples, insist
on seating you in a plain, straight chair,
and bending your head over back till
your spine bowls in agony. And they
agree in another custom-tney never
wash off the soap they put on. But they
bring you bowl of water, hold it under
your chin as you are leaning back, and
insist on your washing your own face
then and there. If you object to the
attitude, they shrug all the upper part
of themselves and sling disdainful smile
at you; if you comply, little rivulets run
pleasantly down inside of your shirt,
and some of the soap they have gener-
ously swoggled into your ears gets into
your stockings. / have seen no barber
wash his victims face since [ landed at
Glasgow. Prices vary. In London
thew charge a shilling (25 cents) for
shave; in Naples they will, for fifty Gen.
times 40 cents), shave you, cut your
hair. wash your face and hands, curl
YOUR eyebrows and wax your mustache
till you look like Victor Emmanuel, and
can pass for prince on any of the side
streets Yesterday l was shaved for 10
centimes-a two American cents
but l took the balance out in garlic, of
which [ had generous bath in the form
of respiration. In Verona, the city of
the loved and loving Juliet, the barber
asked me if I would hayemy feet washed
and my toe-nails cut That certainly is
going to extremes.

The decrease of the pubic debt for the quar-
ter ending the 1stinst., was the largest for any
quarter in several years, reaching ground num-
bers,-$42, 600, 900. Thereductlon for Septem-
Der was almost 81, 500, 900. The average daily
reduction since the beginning of the fiscal
year, therefore has been over $3.50, 600. The
large surplus for the month is attributable to
the increased receipts and large falling off in ex
penditures. 1t is probable that the suspension
of business for several days during September,
during the death ana obsequies of President
Garfield, caused a Withholding of claims against
the government. and thereby materially assist
ed to swell the surplus for the month. Obhga-
tons thus delayed will, of course, be presented
for payment during October, which will have
the effect of increasing the current disburse-
ments for this month.

The PAGER, Little Brown Jug, gave brilliant
exhibition of speed on the Both ult., at the
Louisville, Ky, fair, when an effort was made
to beat the fastest trotting record of Maud S.
The first effort was spoiled thirty feet from the
wire by break, and the gelding was sent off
again. This time he paced squarely, with the
Thoroughbred at rafting pace just at his
head. The pace was slow around the turning
quarter. being madein 34A. Down the stretch,
however, the black wonder stretched his head
straight out and few over the ground at light
nlng speed, pacing the half mile at 2:07 gait.
The three quarters were made in 1:35, and down
the home stretch with the wind square in his
face, he paced the last quarter in "a seconds
