TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.
a Desperate Gang Baked In New
Mexico

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 21-A dispatch
from Kansas City says: GA passenger from
the West reports that an east bound
passenger train on the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad was dltched last
Sunday night near Rincon, New Mexico,
aud that five heavily armed men attempted
to rob the express car. The men entered
the baggage car instead of the express car
by mistake, and before they could rectifY
their error and get into the
right car the trainmen and passengers
appeared in such numbers that the
robbers fed. The engine, the baggage and
express cars were thrown from the track,
the engineer and fireman Killed, and Wells,
Fargo q Co Is messenger badly wounded.
The express car is supposed to have contain
ed 100000 in silver from Arizona mines,
bound for New York, and, tits thought, the
would-be robbers were informed of this
fact by telegraph at Rincon, and that they
belonged to a band of desperadoes who
have been committing all kinds OF depreda-
lions in New Mexico and Arizona for
months.n

NEW YORK, April 21.-Iu the suit Of
Chas. 7. Mccoy VS.. G. DeRosset Lamar,
executor of Gazaway B. Lamar, which has
been pending for several years in the Fed
eral Courts, Judge Wheeler to day, in the

A Difference In Negroes.


Bishop Payne, of the African M. E..
Church South, was recently elected from
the ladies' coach on a Florida railroad.
in which he had ensconced himself and
refused to take seat in another first
class coach set apart for gentlemen with
out ladies. The colored people of New
York nave held an indignation meeting
and urged that suit be brought against
the railroad company, and also that the
church raise money to pay expenses at
tending the suit. Without assuming that
had white man thus intruded himself
into car set aside especially for ladies
he would have probably been elected in
the same manner, an apt comparison is
afforded by recalling the conduct of
Senator Bruce at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York. while on duty with a
committee of which Senator Lamar was
also one of the members. The colored
Senator ordered his meals sent TO his room
instead of accompanying the committee
to the public dining hall. When Sena-
tor Lamar learned Of this he insisted
that MIR. Bruce should take his meals at
the same table with the committee, and
took his colleagues arm to escort him to
his seat. Senator Bruce would have
scorned to commit the act of Bishop
Payne, and it is Just such presumption
as that exhibited in this instance that
excites the disgust of those who seek to
secure to the coloFed race all the free
dom and equal privileges that belong to
the white race.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The Board of
Managers of the Cotton Exchange o.day
made report in answer to a letter from the
Liverpool Brokers Association complaining
of the manner in which American cotton
is adulterated with sand. The report is
quite lengthy, and enters into many ex-
planatory statements accounting for the
sandy condition of cotton for the past two
seasons. Copies of the report were sent to
the State Department at Washington and
the National Exchange of New Orleans.
The report sets forth that sand is blown
by the wind into the cotton while beipg
picked, and also during the various processes
It goes through before being shipped. In
regard to the poor quality of cotton, the
report says that is due to the drought, the
planters allowing the cotton to remain in
the fields until January before it was
picked

thing above ground in the track of the
storm was carried into the air. One large

splinter of it can be found. One man
found his wife dead near their house,
with their eleven months old child In her
arms uuturt Two older children were so
badly burned from their clothes taking fire
that they died. They cannot account for
the flames. Two other children of the same
man will probably die from similar burns.
