ATTEMPTED TRAM ROBBERY.

Attack on the Santa Re Express Train
at Coolidge, Kans.-Tho Engineer
KILLED and Fireman Wounsied-The
Express Messenger Successfully De-
tends His Treasure-Flisht and Prob
able Capture OF the Robbers.
A daring but unsuccessful attempt
was made to rob the east-bound express
train on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad at Coolidge station, at an
early hour on Saturday morning, Sept. %.
The attack was made by three men, two
boarding the engine while the third entered
the express car and made futile attempt
to kill the messenger and rob the safe. The
two men who jumped upon the engine held
drawn revolvers in their hands, and seeing
the engineer, John III. Hilton, with his hand
upon the throttle, called upon him to pull
out quick" Instead of doing this Hilton
pushed the lever clear over, when one of
the men shot him dead, the bullet passing
through his heart. AT the same time the
second man shot George Fade, the fireman,
through the back, Fade falling from the
platform, while the dead body of Hilton
remained in the cab. The third robber en-
tered the express car and began firing at S.
S. Peterson, messenger for Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s express.
STATEMENT OF THE EXPRESS MESSENGER.
The following account of the attempted
robbery of the express car was given by
Mr.. Samuel S. Peterson, the messenger, to
Kansas City Times reporter:
"You are of course aware that the raid took
place at Coolidge, a station on the line of the
Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railway, about
ten miles east of the Colorado State line, be-
tween and 3 O'Clock Saturday morning.
There is an clearinghouse in the station and the
train stopped there as usual twenty minutes,
in order to give passengers an opportunity to
get lunch. The train was No. 4, bound east,
Conductor Greeley, Engineer John Hilton,
Fireman Fable and Baggageman Johnson.
when the train stopped" continued Mr..
Peterson, II put off some railroad mail which
l had, and there being no express to put off and
no further work for me to do, lay down on
my box, just in front of the front side door on
the side of the car next to the depot. After ly-
ing down for few minutes dropped off into
n doZe. i was lying on my back, with my arms
folded over my bosom. Both of the doors on
the side of the car next to the platform were
open, Baggageman johnson being seated in
the back side door, looking out on the plat
form. My revolver, a Colts 4lcaliber, double
action, lay at my side i had taken it out of
my scabbard and laid it down that might be
ready for any emergency that might arise

Col. Bob Ingersoll may be a long

on the subject of newspapers, OF
which he says: 1.-The papers OF the
future, think, will be news pa
pers. The editorial is getting
shorter and shorter. The para
graphs is taking the place of the
heavy man. People rather form
their own opinions from the facts.
Of course. good articles will always
find readers, but the dreary, dole
full, philosophical dissertation has
had its day. The magazines will
fall heir to such articles; then re-
ligious weeklies will take them up.
and then they will cease altogether.

A Lively Horse.

On Sunday. at Reno, some very
lively time was made on the track
oy q horse who entered the race on
his own hook. Black Charley. q
trotter, was hitched to post which
held up the roof of his stable, and,
being quite near the track, took
lively interest in the trotting.
When he heard the word Ego" he
could no longer restrain himself,
and making a mighty effort broke
for the track with the post and a
portion of the gable end Of the
stable hanging to his neck. La
spite of this tremendous handicap
he came down the homestretch in
splendid style, and only lost the
heat by O neck.

a Fatal Railroad Collision.

r
CHICAGO, Oct. 20. The passen-
ger train bound north on the Pan
handle road and the outgoing
freight train on the Michigan Cen

crossing, thirty miles southeast OF
this city. Both engines were thrown
from the track and wrecked, falling
upon and setting fire to the flag
mans box, into which the fiagman.
Peter Calls. retreated upon seeing
the collision was inevitable. He
was burned to death. w. NJ. Morris.
of Logansport, engineer of the Pan
handle train, and John Kellogg OF
Michigan City, head breaSman OF
the Michigan Central train, were
killed. Denegan, engineer OF the
Michigan Central was severely in
jured. and crazed by his wounds
and fright, ran four miles to Dyer,
Indiana, where he arrived lunatic.
John German, q Michigan Central
fireman, was also hurt. The passen-

hurt. It is impossible to locate the
responsibility for the accident.

statement to the effect that Meyers
had been guilty of in1iscretions
with his wife. Subsequently Yer
millie made an explicit denial OF
the truth of these allegations, and
it was generally understood that
the suits would be withdrawn and
the matter ended. A special from
St. Paul says that Vermillie has
filed bill for divorce, alleging
long continued and persistent Grim

IDENTIFY identical with that of the origin
of the Vestal Virgins In Rome. Then
we have the story of Kunaza, the
most beautiful of all the ninety and
three daughters of Enoch, who, in
the 291st year of her age rejected the
last offer that was made to her of mar
riage," and remained single to her
death. Passing from mythical ira
dition to history, the author mentions
as fact worth noticing, that through
out the whole history of the Jews
there is no record Of the existence of
any one distinguished old maid. Nor
was spinsterhood held in any more
favor among the Greeks and Romans,
though the honor and respect paid to
Diana, and Minerva, and the Vestal
Virgins, would seem to imply that
under certain circumstances old maids
were tolerated. But after the Chris
tan era, as our author points out with
much learning and ingenuity, there
was an 'infnit increase of old maids. {"
The whole sex seems to have been in
famed with a passion for virginity,
which was eagerly fostered by many
of the most distinguished fathers Of
the church
