The Train Robbers.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 3O.-Thls morplns
there was considerable excitement over
q report that the entire band of Central
Pacific robbers had surrendered, and
were on the morning train of the Utah
Central. due at 10 o'clock. On the ar
rival of the train at the depot there was
a crowd waiting to see the robbers and
their captors. The crowd was peace
able and no demonstrations were made.
The city police took charge of the rob-
bers and conveyed them to the city Jail,
followed by the crowd. The officers
engaged in the capture confirmed the re-
port telegraphed last night, and give
the particulars of the capture OF the
fort containing the three Others. At
the solicitation of the wounded men the
had wounded and captured Nay and
Hawlev, and it would be useless for them
to attempt resistance, for they were al
ready surrounded. This note was sent
to the stockade by a messenger, and
the three remaining robbers soon
appeared at the door, leaving their
arms behind them. They were then
ironed and taken to Deseret, arriving
there late last night. The names and
ages of the FIVE men are: Frank Fran
els, ageG 40; Frank Hawley, aged Is;
Sylvester Earl. aged IS: Erastus An
| dersor, aged I9; Ormus Nay. aged 81.
| Nav has q wife and four children re-
siding at Deseret. They are hard look
ing lot of cus-throats, and have been
committing depredations on the settle
| ments of Utah and Nevada since last
September, when they built their stock
ade in the mountains. The wounded
men are suffering considerably. Hawley
| received skin-cut wound On the out
| side of the right leg. His left leg was
seriously injured. The ball entered
this leg about two inches below the
knee joint, and ranging downward,
emerged about four inches above the
ankle joint. on direct line
on the inside OF the leg.
Nay has slight flesh wound on the
| outside of his left thigh, but has more
serious wound which entered his back
about two inches to the right, and on
| line with the point of the shoulder
blade, ranging upward and toward the
shoulder joint. 1t is probable the lung
was wounded at the time, and the rib
is also probably injured, as be spat
blood profusely for three hours after the
shooting. The ball passed through the
shoulder joint, breaking the bone into
fragments, and lodged under the skin
| Just at the top OF the shoulder. The
! doctor who examined the wound says
the probabilities are that he cannot sur
| vive. The Central Pacific and Wells,
Fargo & Co.'S party deserve great credit
| for the skiliful manner In which they
made the capture. They had been AS
hours without sleep when they arrived
here, and looked very much fstigued.
They have agreed to divide the So, COO
reward equally among themselves. The
prisoners will be taken from this city to
| Elko, Nevada. where the last crime was
| committed. The wounded men Will
probably remain here few days, but
the other three will leave tomorrow
morning in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Polk, of E!ko.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l-Several bills
have been introduced in Congress
during the present session having for
their object the amendment and ex-
tension of the present law for the sup
preston of polygamy. One of these
bills proposes to abolish woman suffrage
in Utah, and another to allow the first
wife OF an alleged polygamist to testify
regarding the number of his wives.
Judge Jere Black of Pennsylvania, ex-
Delegate Cannon and Delegate Cain are
opposing before the Judiciary Com
mlttee favorable action upon these
measures. Judge Black will Tomorrow
complete an exhaustive argument begun
by him several days ago against the
power of Congress to enact the pro-
posed laws. Pennsylvania great jurist
holds that Congress has no right to
regulate the internal affairs of Terri
tory where laws not in contravention of
the Constitution are enacted for local
self-g1verA
The committee is expected to report
new anti.polygamy bill as a substi-
tn for those pending before It.
