PRAIRIE PIRATES.
CIue to the Discovery Of
The Train R0bbeFs,


The Train Robbers,
ST. LorIs, September 1O.--Mr. A. s.
Trude, noted criminal lawyer, now attor-
ney for the Chicago & Alton Railway, came
to this city to inquire into some matters re-
lating to the recent train robbery on that
road, and in conversation with reporter
said that the company has an important
clue furnished by woman. This Is ex-
pected TO lead 10 the arrest OF the leader
in that crime, which Is the important
point Sud Mr.. Trnde: The advisers OF
the road saw that 1t would be OF very little
use to capture the peHons who carried out
the plan without being able to catch its
contriver. The fact Is, as long as the leader
was free and succeeded In keeping 80, he
could always find men enough 10 carry
out his plans He, in fact, was
the plant upon which all the
poison berries grew And without the
plant It was almost impossible to destroy
the berries, because all the money In tho
possession OF the leader would be used To
help the men who were caught out OF their
trouble, and as long ~ they knew that the
leader waS outside with the sinews OF war
TO fight for them, they would all keep
stiff upper lip, and none Of them would
squeal. But Just lot the long arm Of the
law clutch the arch-conspintor, and you
will see how quickly the crowd will try 10
turn States evidence and tell the story
with the hope Of being lightly dealt with.
In fact, there will he acompetition amongst
those inside and outside Of the prison 10
give up all they know about It."

Parade Of Veteran soldiers at Cincinnati
Yesterday.


CiNcISSATI, September l6,-The veteran
soldiers parade moved at 70 o'clock, and in
spite Of the muddy streets and the TACT that
II had been announced that no parade
would be made, was Of considerable mag
nitude. It was headed bya detachment Of
police, then followed the Marietta battery,
o. N, G.; then the EHt regiment OF the
Ohio National Guards, the Mexican yeter-
ans; then the skeletons Of the regiments Of
the late war They were in citizens dress,
wearing only badges to indicate their regi.
ment or corps. The wore no arms, Of
course, but at close intervals they carried
the tattered battle hags which had been
borne by them through the war
The line Of march required nearly two
hours OF marching, and the streets were
covered with soft mud. There was no
means Of giving full notice Of the time the
procession would start, or that 1t would
s'art at all. The word was passed from one
TO another, and q procession was torm(d
which, marching four abreast at good
swinging gait, required thirty.fye minutes
to paAs, Everywhere the streets werelined
with sympathetic and cheering multitudes.
The ladies often, with fearful eyes, waved
y welcome to the survivors Oi the war,
The veterans responded to the cheers as
they passed, but talking in ranks was
the rule.
Just before reaching the, point for dis,
banding Governor Foster and staff, on
horseback, reviewed the procession. il
was two o'clock when the procession dis.
banded, and this practically closed the re-
union. II has not been us successful rs

Col. Swain that when the thermometer
had been standing nine minutes he could
not get the temperature above the normal
range, whereupOn the President said:

DR.. Bliss had not offered any
objection to the introduction OF the

Bulletins, aud he desired that correction
should be made in justice TO all concerned.
