Dynamite on the Track,

DENVER, Col, July 16.-As pas
senger train was being made up in
the yards of the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad this morning an
empty chair car ran over package
of dynamite, which exploded with
great force, wrecking the car and
slightly iniuring a switchman. 1t is
believed that the dynamite was in
tended for the regular passenger
train due to leave in short time.
The Denver and Rio Grande officials
say they believe the work to be that
of strikers.

Running away with a Pay Car

ATLANTA, Ga, July 14.-A des-
perate attempt to rob the Richmond
and Danville pay-car was made in
this city this morning at about 4
O'clock. The car reached Atlanta
on Monday, and that day the pay
master distributed $4,000. On Mon
day night the pay-car and supply
car were placed on the main line
near the Markham House. A. s.
Grocer, the paymaster and his cook,
occupied the car. Mr.. Groser ex-
pected to be removed early this
morning. About 8 o'clock he awoke
and found the cars in motion. They
were moving at least forty miles an
hour. The rapid speed aroused his
suspicious. He arose and opened
the door and put the brake on. The
train was moving up steep grade
and the brake soon brought it to a
standstill. Mr.. Grocer climbed upon
the supply car and approached the
engine. When he had made half
the distance he saw a man climbing
off the engine.
where are you taking me?" de-
manded Mr.. Grocer.
ITO the Belt Junction. was the
reply.
"For what?'
you'll find out soon enough you
are the man we want" was the re-
y,and at the same instant the man
began firing at Mr.. Grocer.
The bullets whistled about his
head. He made for his car and pla-
ced his cook to watch one door. He
than sprang from the car and ran
for help. He returned in half an
hour, but the men had gone. The
safe contained about $4,000, but
had not been molested. Three men
were seen near the place where the
train stopped and one man has since
been arrested. The work was per-
formed by railroad men.

"been made in the negotiations be-
"tween the Pennsylvania and Mr..
Vanderbilt and that tie sale of the
Vanderbilt interests has practically
"been accomplished. /"
In its issue of the following day
Sunday it published in its news
columns an article stating that at a
meeting of the Vanderbilt and Penu-
sylvania officials on Saturday
The entire situation was amicahly discussed, and
an evident desire for settlement Of tie present
difficulties manifested. The result has been a
practical agreement In the south Pennsyiyania

formal announcement OF this may he expected
within a few days, and until then the precise de-
tails will not be given publicity. Last evening the
negotiations were officially confirmed by Pennsyl-
ings had been held that the gentlemen named
were present; that the situation had been discuss
ed and that great progress had been made To-
wards settlement of all the existing troubles
1t is somewhat singular that, ap-
parently, the Press has exclusive in
formation in regard to this dicker
between these roads, and that this
information is very imperfect. For
instance, it asserted that Mr.. Van
derbilt bargains to transfer to the
Pennsylvania road the yet uncom-
pleted South Pennsylvania and the
Beech Creek line, land agrees TO
withdraw from the State of Penn
sylvania and turn over his entire
interest TO the local corporation, T"
and yet it is well-known fact that
Mr.. Vanderbilt holds large interest
in the Pittsburg and Lake Erie, and
the Pittsburg, McKeesport and
Youghiogheny roads, both of which,
connecting with Vanderbilt's line to
Chicago, are sharp thorns in the
side OF the Pennsylvania which in
terests are not even alluded to in
this alleged contract that Mr.. Van
derbilt is to withdraw from the
State.
1t is undoubtedly true that meet
ings have been held, and that nego-
tiations are in progress between the
managers of these two great lines,
looking to a compromise of the diff
ficulties arising out of the war of
rates which has so ruinously affect
ed these as well as other roads of
the country, but until there is more
definite and conclusive information
vouchsafed the public, than is con-
tained in the article in the Press,
we will hold to our present opinion,
that the stock iobbers are at the bot
tom of the diaphanous stories which
that journal is publishing for their

fuse some extra life in trade. Now, more
than at any other period OF the year, the
disposition to buy sessonsble merchandise
should be strongest, and We know there ID
considerable money circulating and chang
ing hands, and q fair share Of it may bsde-
posted with our merchants byjudicious ad-
vertisiug, There sSe many persons
who say there is no money, and conse-
quentfy there is no use of pushing bust
ness. The merchant who talks thcs and
means it, is gOingtO get left. While there
is not the purchasing power among many
of our people which existed when every
n was Of work and higher wages pre-,
vailed, nevertheless there are plenty who
have money to expsnd and are seeking
the best places to lay it out. A newspaper
OF general circulation is the place to tell Of
ones wares and prices, and in various
ways attract the eye Of the reader SO
that he may know what q mer'
chant has to ofsr, and where
it can be found. The buyer is in this way
brought to ones store, when the work Of
the newspaper is about completed and that

tent, will from that point depend upon the

During the holiday season the REG1sTES

mourning rule top and bottom, and gives
