A Bold Train Robbery.

DALLAS, Tex, April ia bold train rob-
berry occurred late last night, on the Texas &
Pacific railroad, at Wood station, few miles
west OF Mineola. Joseph Toblowsky, a mer-
chant of Dallas, and a stranger, took passage
in the caboose of a freight train in order to
reach here nearly full day earlier than by
waiting for the regular passenger train. The
train was very long one, and when it stopped
went to the engine, leaving the caboose and it's
occupants long way back in the darkness and
thick timber. Suddenly three negroes, armed
with navy revolvers, sprang into the caboose,
the leader saying, Throw up your hands;
your money or your life." Mr.. Toblowsky was
relieved of nearly $1,000 and gold watch and
chain, and his companion OF $15 and iewelry.

RemRrkabie sequel 10 the Wreck OF
the Steamship Daniel steinman.
HALIFAX, N. S., April 1S.-A wonderful
story came to light yesterday connected with
the Inflated steamship, Daniel Steinman,
wrecked at Sambro just year ago. when 124
lives were lost. Previous to leaving home,
Peter Andreas Nicholson, one of the passen-
gers, deposited $3970 and other valuables, for
safe keeping, with one Herchind of Hasle,
Denmark, and took receipt therefor. Prob
ably imagining that no legal evidence would
ever be forthcoming that he had the money
Herschind refused to return it to the dead
mans relatives Thereupon the Danish
foreign minister communicated with Stephen
Tobin, the Danish consul at this port, to spare
no efforts to find the receipt if at all possible.
Bodies and wreckage washed ashore from time
to time have been carefully searched, and
divers who have been working on the wreck
for the past year have kept sharp look out
for this document without success. Recently
a small trunk was washed ashore containing a
number of letters and papers. These were
turned over to the consul. They were OF
course badly soaked and the ink run, so as to
be almost obliterated and therefore unintelli-
gible, but among them was the long looked-for
receipt, which, after much difficulty, Consul
Tobin, deciphered and translated. He has
cabled the good news to Copenhagen.
