quarters to repaint all passenger
coaches, baggage and express cars,
and to change the color from the well
moonlight yellow of the Information

pared a model for lettering the cars

BOLD ROBBERS.

DETROIT, Dec. 11.-One of the most
daring robberies ever perpetrated here
occurred at the Michigan Central
stockyards, one mile west of the juno
ton, between one and three o'clock
Sunday morning. At the time the
Waterman in charge of the Office and
two others, looking after some hogs in
the yard, were all sitting in the wait
ing-room warming themselves. Four
masked men entered and presented
reVolvers at the heads of the men, re-
ducing them to state of submission.
They then Invested them of their
boots and locked them all in a closet.
The burglars then proceeded to
work at the safe in the CASH
ier's Office in the rear waiting-room
Shortly after the foreman of the
night watchmen appeared on his Gus
tomary tour of inspection, whistling a
lively air, which gave warning of his
approach. AS he entered the door he
was seized, disarmed and thrust into
the closet with the others. The burg
lars then proceeded with their work,
and in about an hour succeeded in
blowing open the safe. Only fifty
dollars rewarded their diligence and
daring, seventy dollars in envelopes
being overlooked, and some sixteen
hundred dollars in checks being I'M
available. 1t was some time after
their departure before the imprisoned
men could release themselves, so that
the thieves made good their escape,
coming into the city. The work is be-
lieved to be that of professionals.

hoff and Luke Moore were elected re-
corder and city marshal. The school

A HOTEL HORROR
Only Averted by Prompt Presence of
Mind.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia visit to
the Sturtevant House this morning
shows that there had been a very mar
row escape from destructive confla-
grafton and serious loss of life. The
second story of the extensive building,
used as a bake house and kitchen, was
completely Quilted. Nearly all the
windows on the first, second and third
stories on the side of the Twenty
ninth street wing of the hotel, which
look out on the Battle House, were
burned away and many of the lower
rooms completely ruined by fire. Mr..
NJ. T. Warne, of Easton, Pennsyl-
yania, one of the guests, said to re-
porter: i retired about 10 o'clock last
night, on the the fourth floor, in the
rear part of the hotel, and about l
o'clock was awakened by commotion
in the hall outside the room, and after
listening a few moments 1 unlocked
the door, and seeing light
blaze coming up through the
wall hole over the kitchen, i
knew what was the matter Stopping
only to draw on my pants and coat /
rushed toward the head of the stairs.
Looking down over the banister it
seemed as though the whole place was
on fire below. Fearing my escape was
cut off, 1 ran to room from which a
fire escape could be reached, but found
the door was locked, / then, in spite
of the smoke, which was very thick,
forced my way to the floor beneath
and endeavored to cross to the stairs
leading to the Twenty-ninth street
entrance, but was forced back by the
flames and smoke, which entered the
corridor from the window. Just
then lady in her night
dress rushed up to me and
said, For Gods sake, save mel
l said, Follow me; we shall get out
all right We both then went down
the main staircase to the Office and
found the bar room, Office and read
ing room thronged with guests in
great CONSERVATION, especially the
ladies. many of whom were in hys-
terics and a few of whom had tainted.
Several of them were in exceeding
scant attire and on going out into
the street l found several of them
shiyering in the cold with nothing
around them but a shawl or coat
given them by sympathizing onlook-
ers. When / came down stairs the
firemen were bring hose in through
the front door. The proprietors did
everything possible under the circum-
stances, and if they had not kept the
good watch they did on the premises
there would have been no stopping
the fire, and great many of those in
the hotel would undoubtedly have
been burned to death, as the kitchen,
where the fire originated, is so CEN
trally situated that the flames pene-
trated several parts of the hotel at
once.

Highway Robbery.

On Friday night last, white man
who goes by the name of Smith, and
any number of aliases, knocked down
man by the name of Murray, of
Williamson county, near the Inter
national and Great Northern freight
depot, and robbed him of eight dollars
in money, a hat, pocket-knife and
comb. He proved himself very bold
fellow, for on Sunday he donned the
stolen hat and bravely marched around
the streets. Officer Oberwetter got a
glimpse of him, recognized the hat,
and arrested and put Mr.. Smith in the
city jail. Yesterday he was turned
over to Justice Tegener, who gave
him hearing. and in default of bail
he was committed to the county jail
to await his trial in the district court,
There are many such fellows as Smith
loating about town, and the officers
will do well to look sharp.

ness left him at once, and knew that
he was one too mony. There could be
no more sweet dreams in that house,
for there was blood in the colored gen.
tleman's eye. n house divided against
itself cannot stand, and the
chances were that in very
few moments the roof would
take trip to the stars. The white
man made desperate resolve; and he
didn't argue the case either, but broke
for the window and liberty, out into
the cool night air, where he was GER
tain he had right to be. But, alas
for him. He had left his clothes with
the contestant, and it wasn't soft or
