Daring Express Robb cry

JOLIET, Ills, March Bone OF the
most daring and bloody express rob-
berries ever perpetrated in Illinois, &C.
Cured on the Chicago. Rock Island q
Pacific west bound express last night,
between this place and Morris. The
facts as learned from the baggageman
are that shortly after the train which
leaves here at AS this morning, had
left this city, he heard a rap at the bag
gage car dor. Thinking it was the ex-
press messenger, he opened the door
and was confronted by masked robbers,
who covered him with revolvers, and
demanded his keys to the express car.
They were given up and one robber, who
was on top of the baggage car, held
revolver on the baggage man through
the ira lsom in the roof of the car,
while his COME 1erates turned their at
tention TO the express. II is thought
that they raped on the express car
door and informed the messenger, Kel-
lOgg Nichols, that the baggage man
wanted TO get in at the rear of the ex-
press car. The door was opened, and
the desperadoes entered. Being con-
fronted by the murderous villains the
messenger fought for his life and the
property in his trust. The interior of
the express car shows that 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 rified his peck
cts for the key to the safe which they
robbed of all its contents, variously es-
timated at from $50, 900 to SIS, 900. The
checks and valuable packages not con-
tanning money, they left scattered about
the floor. Nothing was known of the
occurrence until the train reached Nor
ris, the first stop west of here, except a
coal chute where the train stopped to
take in coal. At Morris the local ex-
press messenger raped on the express
car door, but as the summons was not
answered, IL was thought that the train
messenger was asleep. Upon the door
of the car being opened, the horrible
evidences OF desperate struggle, and
the dead body of Messenger Nichols
we're discovered. In one hand, the
dead man clutched a lock of dark col
ored hair, which must have been torn
from the head OF his assailants. The
news was at once telegraphed to this
city. Sheriff Reitz and chief police
Murray at once organized q posse, and
started on special engine for Morris.
large force of officers and men from
this place and Morris are now securing
the country.

Onicer sheahnn Finds Night Prowler
Dangerous,

"You need not be afraid Of me-you can
pass on" said Officer sheahan to a colored
man at 4 o'clock yesterday morning on r
street, near Tenth.
~ don't intend to pass on,n was the re.
ply.
"I nm an officer said Sheahan, "and not
night doctor. You need not be afraid OF
me,n and here the officer showed his badge
which he had under his citizen's coat.
~ know who you are" said the man;
"you don't want me-"
The officers object seemed TO be TO
til he could get close enough to
him and find out who he was. He had
noticed the man creeping behind tree
boxes aud acting very suspiclously. lie
had watched him until he became satisfied
that the fellow was bent on mischief.
sheahan was in citizens clothes, and
though disguised, the man seemed TO
recognize him, and he saw almost In
tuitivcly that the officer intended to arrest
bin. AS soon as Sheahan reached within
few feet OF the man the latter started on
a run, and was quickly pursued by the
officer. The fugitive, finding the officer
gaining on him, suddenly turned and
fred, the ball knocking the ofilcer's hat of.
Sheahan turned partly around 10 get out
his pistol, when the colored man again
fired, and the ball struck the ofllcer In the
thigh, and he fell to the ground. An ex.
change OF shots then took place between
the men without effect. Two private
watchmenl and and q fireman soon ap-
peSred, but the colored man had then es-
capped. Officer Sheahau was taken to No.
Z engine house, where Drs. Boyne and
Caldwell probed for the bullet, but failed
TO fud II. The slzc OF the wound indicated
that the ball was about 49.calber. At
O'Clock the officer was removed to bis home,
16 Myrtle street.
The assailant, is described as beinG
coppered colored, about 8 feet 10 inches
high, and weighing about 1870 or 100
pounds, and answers very much to the
description OF the burglar who broke into
house on New York avenue few nights
ago. Last night DIR. Bayne said that
Officer Sheahan was resting comfortably.
The wound Ia considered very severe one
and rumor was circulated that Sheahan's
leg wns paralyzed. The police are making
every effort to arrest the assailant, aud II is
to be hoped that they will succeed.

BEFORE THE STATION HOUSE.
A Chicken Thief Robs a Huckstor's
Wagon.

wagon
The police Of South Washington were
terribly chagrned last night over the theft
OF some chickens from buckster's wagon
left standing in front Of the station. About
the time that the heavy rain began falling
an officer brought huckster named
Thomas and his partner to the station
house charged with selling chickens with
out license. The horse and wagon were
left temporarily In front Of the station door,
and in the wagon there were several
chickens. While the officer and his prisoner
were inside Thomass partner left to get
money as collateral for Thomas. In the
meantime Thomas found, by searching his
pockets, that he had money sufficient
did, and waited until his partner
returned. The officers and the two men
on leaving the station went to the wagon.
Thomas went to the back part, and
quickly discovered that all Of the chickens
were gone. For few minutes there was
"ghoulishn feeling all around. The officer
felt that his "subj jective functions might
be attacked, and desiring "personal knowl-
edge Of the actual facts" lest "unfounded
and malicious asperslons In connection with
the work OF police administration might
arise, he also looked and was satisfied that
the chickens had flown. A solemn pro.
cession walked into the station house, and
the report Of the robbery Of the chickens
was In due form recorded on the books.
1t was an event mortlfying TO the officers
on account Of the locality Of the theft. Not
withstanding this occurrence, II is we'll
known that no better officers are to be
found In any precinct than those OF the

VETERAN PILGRIMS.
Survivors of the 9th and 50th Regi-
ments.

Survivors of the 57th and 5osh Regi-
ments.
The Boston Herald says that at the last
reunion Of the association composed Of the
survivors of the 57th and 50th Massachusetts
volunteers, IT was voted to revisit the bat
tie fields upon which these organizations
were engaged and hold the reunion Of 1887
IN Petersburg, Va, and q committee was
appointed to make the necessary arrange
ments.
While all the details of the trip have not
been completed, enough has been decided
on to Justify the prophecy that there is
good time coming for the "boys."
The party will leave Boston early In May
by one of the steamers Of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation Company for
Norfolk, Va. Thence 1t will go by rail to
Petersburg, Richmond, Fredericksburg,
Washington, and Baltimore, returning to
Boston from Baltimore by steamer.
The trip will consume ten days. At
Petersburg, the field Of June IS, 1864, the
"Cratern and Fort Steadmen will be visited.
At each of these places the regiments we're
prominently engaged and lost heavily. At
Richmond an opportunity will be had to
visit Cold Harbor and other fields, as well
as to see the many objects OF interest in
be taken for the Wilderness and Spottsyl-
vania. This side trip will take two days,
and 1t is possible the veterans will have an
opportunity to refresh memories OF times
long gone by bvouac 10 the Wilderness.
The route to the Wilderness will be over
the entire length of the Charlottesville
battle field. The regiments were not en-.
gagged in this battle, but the ride will be in
teresting because OF the many historic
points passed. Among them are Salem
Church, the spot where Lee and jackson
held the council that decided on Jackson's
famous flank march; the Charlottesville
House, the stone marking the spot where
jackson received his mortal wounds; Dowd-
| all's tavern, Hawkins farm, and the Wilder
ness Church Upon returning to Freder-
icBsburg, Marye's Heights-the scene OF
| Burnside's desperate assaults In December,
1s62-and the National Cemetery will be
visited. A stop Of two or three days will
be made in Washington, and part Of day
| in Baltimore.
As on the return voyage the steamer
| stops several hours at Norfolk, an opportu
i nifty will be had to visit Old Point Comfort
and Fortress Monroe The annual busines:
meeting WIN be held in Petersburg, at the
| Albemarle Hotel, where the party will
| quarter during its stay In that city.
| Official maps showing the positions Of
the troops on each Of the fields to be visited
have been obtained from the War Depart
ment. Copies of these maps have beer
made In sufficient quantity so that eact
member Of the party will be provided with
one, and the movements OF the troops will
be described bya person specially selected
for each field.
Major John IL. Cook and Quartermaste
George e. Priest have been over the rout,
to locate positions and arrange for hote
accommodations, carriages, &C., and the,
| will personally conduct the party.

Among the many kind acts to be men
toned also Is the generous gift OF Mr..
Staples, OF Wizards Hotel, OF turkeys to
the poor. Other instances were heard OF
where the donors positively declined to
make known their kind deeds.
