TRAIN ROBBERS AT WORK.
An Unsuccessful Attempt 10 Rob an
Express.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. %.
A special TO the Post Despatch from Wal
nut Ridge, Ark, says that an attempt was
made to rob the north bound express train on
the Iron Mountain road last night between
Okean and Della Plaine, fifteen miles north
of here. Fortunately, the express train was
late and local freight train was running on
the time of the express. The local was sig
nailed by three lanterns. and when the train
stopped if was boarded by six men heavily
armed. After few questions they found
they had stopped the wrong train, and they
passed into the woods with many curses but
without molesting anybody. The conductor
of the local telegraphed to Road Master
Griffin, who summoned a posse of citizens,
who with u S. Marshal Wheeler, went north
on the belated express, eager for fight with
the robbers. but no further attempt was made
to rob the train.
The robbers are all large men from 80 to
40 years old, wore heavy cvercOats and car
ried lanterns. They we've apparently we'll
organized and seemed to know their business.
Every effort is being made to capture them.
REPORT DENIED.

Gen. Plaisteds Regard for the

The nomadc editor of the New Age is
emulating the spirit of the old Standard in
the virulence of abuse and the spite fulnes,
Of assault upon everybody and everything
that falls under his displeasure. This weeks
issue bristles with filings aud slurs of local
nature that modest new conner would be slow

like gain, and the offerings a gain of one
hundred per cent from 1868 IN 1880 The

HIGHW Az MEN.
A Young Man CLAIMS TO Have Been
Attacked and Robbed.
DOVER, n. H, Oct. %.

Dover, n. H, Oct %.
Charles II, Morse, freight conductor on
the Boston 4 Maine railroad, was found last
night lying insensible in the gutter on
Thomas street. He was sober. and upon
coming to his senses claimed that he had
been attacked by highu avmen and robbed of
Sal and note for $500 while returning
home from visit TO young lady. By many
his story is discredited. The police are in
vestigating.
LATER-It is now generally believed that
Charles II. Morse's story of being waxl,id
and robbed last night is untrue. Those who
knew him say he never had anv spare money.
He said he had money in the bank here which
is denied by bank officials His statements
are contradictory and it has been proved that
his claim of being freight conductor on the
Boston Maine is fa.se. He may have been
but not for some past.

the Marquis Of Lansdowne landed safely at
Quebec Tuesday. and took the oath of Of
flee as Governor General of Canada The
ceremonies were elaborate and long. and
there were apparently many chances to
throw bombs il any body had wished to
do so. But nobody did. Probably even
the widest of wild Irishmen appreciate
the folly of attacking Canadian officials
on account of the sins of England. The
supply Of GoverDor-Generals is unlimited.
Moreover, an attack upon the head of the
Dominion Government would only
strengthen the bonds between the British
Sovereign and Canada.

The New York Tribune saws: 1t is
noteworthy fact that the last two haugings
which have taken place in this city have
each been followed within few DAYS by
shocking murders. On March oh Me
Gloin and Malone were put to death in
the Tombs, one for shooting the man
whose store he was robbing and the other
for killing his wife. On the Sunday fol-
lowing. Officer Casey. OF the Long Island
City police force. who had undoubtedly
read every word descriptive of the fate of
McGloin and Malone. walked into the
police station and shot dead roundsman
whom he dlsliked. Casey is now under
sentence of death. Last Friday, lIovey
was hanged at the Tombs Tor the murder
Of his sister-in-law. Tuesday man in
Brooklyn. named Young, deliberately ran
his head into the hangman's moose by
shooting his wife. Aud yet Young is Just
the man TO have read eagerly all the de-
tails OF Hovey's death. Opponents of
capital punishment will not fail to find in
these facts arguments against the efficacy
of the death penalty, So far, at least. rs its
lettering influence is concerned.
