TRAGIC TRAIN ROBBERY.
Safe Rifed and Messenger Killed---Ghast
II Discovery in an Express Car.

CHICAGO, March l3-The express car
of Chicago and Rock Island train,
which leaves this city at II O'Clock p. IA,
was boarded by robbers at Joliet at l
o'clock this morning. Kellogg Nichols,
the express messenger of the United
States Express Company, was killed,
and money and jewelry valued at about
$685. coo were stolen. Nichols attended
to his duties at Joliet, but when the
train arrived at Morris, 20 miles beyond
Joliet, he did not open the door of the
car. The local agent at Morris forced
open the door and found Nichols lying
dead on the floor of the car, with his
throat cut from ear to ear and his head
horribly cut and crushed. The baggage
man was found bound and gagged in the
next car. The safe was broken, its door
open and its contents gone. AS the
train does not stop between Joliet and
Morris it is approximately certain that
the robbers boarded the car at the for
mer place.
The exact amount obtained by the
robbers who robbed the express car on
the Rock Island Road to-day was $2j, 900,
dered express messenger, arrived here
this afternoon and was taken to the un-
dertaker's, whence they will be removed
to his late residence tomorrow. The
tragedy and robbery causes intense ex-
element ia transportation circles. Su-
perintendent KimbalI, of the Rock Is
land, offers a reward OF $4,000 for the
arrest of the guilty parties. The i'm
preston seems to be that the deed was
committed by a gang of convicts just re-
leased from the Joliet Penitentiary, who
have covered up their tracks so efft ct
ually as to defeat pursuit..
JOLIET, H., March l3.-The facts of the
express robbery, as learned from the
baggage man, are that shortly after the
train left here at 1916 q. m. he heard a
rap at the baggage car door. Thinking
ii was the express messenger he opened
the door and was confronted by party
ofmasked robbers, who covered him with
revolyers and forced him to give up the
key othe express car. The baggageman
was guarded by ono of the robbers while
the balance turned their attention to the
express car. 1t is supposed that they
obtained entrance to the express car by
rapping and explaining that the bag
gageman wanted to get in; at any rate
the express car door was opened and the
desperadoes entered, and then ensued
BATTLE FOR LIFE
and the property entrusted to his charge
on the part Of the express messenger.
The interior OF the car shows thar he
fought the robbers from one end to the
other, but at last the blows that they
rained on his head with an iron poker
forced him to succumb, and he was left
dead in the car. The thieves rifled his
pockets of the keys to the safe, which
they robbed of its contents, variously es-
timated at from $4,000 to 5000.
Checks and valuable packages not con-
tanning money they left scattered on the
floor. In one hand the dead man
clutched lock of dark hair which must
have been torn from the head of one of
the assassins. Sheriff RietZ and Chief
eff Police Murray have organized
posse and are securing the country in
pursuit of the robbers.

No order was Issued relative TO the
boycott against the wholesale merchants
at Galveston, which may not have been
considered necessary, as no attempt was
made to enforce the embargo against
them, though upon the assertion Of the
local committee they were also includ-
! ed in the order placing an Introduction
upon the handling Of their freights. In
relation to the order the members of the
| board, all OF whom were interviewed on
| the subject, say they want 1t distinctly
understood that it is not an alb
sOlute raising OF the boycott
against the Mallory Company,
but such action as will not neces-
state them stopping the railroads,
and crOaking the commerce OF the city,
and throwing hundreds Of men out Of
employment. They have carefully de-
delIberated the matter, and see no rea-
son why such extreme measures should
be adopted when the Mallory company
could be reached by other and more

BIG BLAzE,IN GALVESTON.
seyera, Blocks Of Dwellings Burned.

Special TO the Herald.
GALVESTON, Dec. 2l.-Fire was
discovered about 3 o'clock this morn
ing in the rear premises of Il. w.
Ralston, Oh the south side of Avenue
X. between C~ntcr and Twenty
Second rccs. A'light breeze from
the south was blowing at the time,
and soon famed the blaze into aeon
Migration which threatened to be a
repetition of last years fiery disaster.
The fire department was called out.
but owing to the lack of water, and,
as some state, bad Judgment in placing
the engines, the fire spread rapidly,
until the whole block bounded by
Center and Twenty-Sccond streets
and Avenues X and !. was seething,
roaring tempest of flame. Avenue Il
proved but slight barrier to the
flames, and the buildings OH the north
side of that avenue soon became fuel
for the devouring element.
1t was not until the fire reached
Broadway that it could be brought
under control. The scandinavian
Church, occupying the southeast cor
ner of Broadway and Twenty-second
street, and two frame buildings adj
joining il on east and south are all
that 10 left standing on this block, and
they arc badly damaged. Twenty
eight dwellings, two groceries and one
market were entirely destroyed, and
with few exceptions the entire con-
tents ofthe dwellings went with them.
Loss estimated ut $4,000: insurance
$4,000, principally in foreign COM
panies. No casualties are reported,
but the streets in the vicinity are filed
with homeless women and children
who saved nothing besides the clothes
they wear.
