CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-lIenry Schwartz,
formerly of Philadelphia, now in the
county Jail here charged with bigamy,
is strongly suspected OF being the man
guilty of the daring robbery of the
Rock Island express train last March,
when Kellogg Nichols. theexpress mes
senger lost his life and S31 900 was
stolen from the express ear. Schwartz
for two wears had been a brakeman
on the Rock Island road. Friday
night, as he came into the depot with
his train, an officer took him by the
arm and marched him to the Harrison
Street station. Yesterday he was ar
raigned for having married n wife in
Philadelphia seven years ago and
with having married a Chicago woman
two years ago. At his own sOlicita-
ton his ease was continued in 81 900
bail until December II. At first he
maintained dosged silence, but now
alleges the the Rock Island company
does not care whether he has one wife
or q hundred ii he or some one else
can be sent to the penitentiary for the
robbery of the express car. lie con
fesses that he has spent more money
than he earned or could have received
from home, but he is not ready to tell
where the money came from. As n
brakeman, Schwartz was one OF the
ill-fated train to which Messenger
Nichols car was attached. No slisPi-
cion was directed toward him at the
time. When in compliance with tele-
graphic instructions Schwartz was re-
turning to Chicago to attend the in
quest, the conductor of the train
found in the toilet room Of the ear IN
which Schwartz was seated black
hand bag which some one had
tried to force down the closet seat. 1t
was empty, but sticking in the fold Oi
the cloth was a piece of what looked
like a part of a check. Schwartz was
noticeilbly confused by the discovery
Various minor circumstances pointed
to him as the owner of the bag. Sub
seurent investigation showed that ths
torn bit of paper fitted into n mutila
ted check that was among the seat
tered contents of the -iiled express
car. From that time Schwartz wa'
shadlowed day and night. lie wa'
spending money with "a lavish hand
The money stolen from the express
car was mostly i'm bills of large demon
nations, and about $2.OW in S5'
bills Schwartz spent here and in TIN
East were obtained by the detectives
From the first it has been conceded
that the crime was committed by ;
railroad man. Now the railway AM
express officials hope that the mys
terry of the cold-blOoded murder AM
daring robbery is soon to he cleare'

he stated that Senator Koiner was pre-

Mr.. Koiner did. In clear statements Of
all the facts and convincing arguments
be showed the necessity for the people
to take the matter in their own hands

Utopia may not have been realized
under Democratic Administration, but
certain it is that the Republican pro-
phecies Of the disasters that were to
overtake the country have not been full
filed. The Boston Herald, noting this
latter fact SAYS:
"The balance-sheet Of the Treasury
for the first nine months Of the present
fiscal year does not indicate that the
country is. going to everlasting bow
vows, as the Republican organs and
orators predicted would be the case il
the Democrats were intrusted with con-
troll Of the Government. There was
during this time an increase of over
100000 in the revenues. and a de.
crease of over sl6,0O0,000 in the ex-
penditures, compared with the same
period last year, net gain of s23,-
600, 900. 1t is worth . good deal to
have the preposterous old claim Of the
indispensableness Of the Republicans
exploded"

consists chiefly Of Poles and Jews. and
in Asia Minor that the most daring acts
Of robbery are committed. At Saratofl

made the other day by the Persian au-
thorities. The band had been at work
in the Chemakhs and Djsvst districts
for over two years, and had finally fed
to Persian territory, where thsy secured
the protection Of several influential Per-
