Texas Train Robbers.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 12.-Particulars of
the train robbery yesterday near
Bellevue Station. Texas, are that the
three robbess, who were unmasked
and made no effort at concealment,
arrived at the water tank a few min
utes before the train. When the
train arrived one of the robbers, with
drawn pistol, ordered Engineer Ay.
ers and his fireman, and o. g. Miller,
another engineer, who was riding in
the cab, to alight, which they did.
He then marched them some thirty
feet from the train and went through
them, taking all the valuables they
had. While this was going on, the
other men went through the train.
One of the passengers, who was look
ing out of the window and saw the
operation with the train men, divin.
ing the situation, went into the for
ward cars notifying the other pas
sengers of what was going on, and
told them to secret their money.
This they did in various ways, Civ.

several ladies aboard. Miss Kate
Haas, of Fort Worth. took charge of

May be Swallowed Up,
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
The inhabitants in the region be-
tween Charleston, s. c., and Atlanta,
Ga, are slowly working themselves
into the belief that they are living
upon very thin shell, and that any
moment vast caving in may take
place completely ingulfing two States
and possibly tipping up several
others. This fear is not founded up
on fear nor developed by differences.
1t is the result of empirical science,
Facts are being gathered daily show
Ing that an immense cavity exists in
The earth in this quarter. A man in
Laurens. S. c., dug a we'll down to
point where each stroke of the pick
produced hollow sound. and finally
the bottom of the well fell out. A
line was produced. but after using all
the clothlines of the neighborbood no
one could find where the bottom
went to, and all hope of recovery has
been abandoned. In another town a
part of the highway disappeared re.

authorities are afraid to look into il.
A local professor has made careful
computation and says that it will
take all the earth in the country to
fill the cavity up, and the road COM

Or resign. In the town of Ninety
Six, of Revolutionary fame, there is
a spot where every earthquake rum

chamber through which the sound is
conducted. There is spot near Daw-

going on ever since the great earth.
quake of August 81. The theory is
that at this place the crust of the
earth is very thin and the temper
AZURE of the air is modified by the
vacuity beneath thus producing rain.
Hundred of people have visited the
spot and testified to the dampness of
the drops that fall, and, rs Dawson

have the face to cast any reflection
upon the trustworthiness of the evil
dence. We should regret very much
to lose two or three States from the
Union at this time, but if they should

curiosity. Excursion trains could

B0ytOn's Thousand Men.

New YORK, Dec 13.-All day tc.

men for railroad work in Central
America; men accustomed to fire
arms required wages $50 month /;
passage paid; S25 advance before

agent for Captain Paul Boyton. at

A friend of Boyton's said: "Boy-
ton really wants the thousand men
and is prepared to make good the
liberal pay promised. He returned
from the Southwest on Friday. He
intended getting these men and TAX
ing them back, but was suddenly re-.
called to Mexico by telegram last
night and left the business in the
hands of his bar tender, Senior Cleo,
who told the men to call later. The
railroad business is only blind. The
work is in Mexico. Boyton has
passes for 900 men and Cleo mas the
money to advance. What he wants
is fighters. The men are to form a
regiment under Boyton in Cuttings

Iron Expert ON the Tariff.

Iron Association, has just returned

asked if he attached any significance

solid ground of principle, and thus
regain the confidence of the people,
now sorely stained. They are look
ing to an organization of the State
Democracy and an appeal to the
Democratic party to make an effort
to correct the evils complained of.
In the line of this appeal to the par
ty they hope to induce able and ex-

party to become candidates for the
General Assembly in their respective
counties before the party in such
counties.
"They hope to reorganize the State

purge it of the abuses which now so
seriously impair its strength and use.

State. They believe that when this
appeal is made by an open canvass of
the State on the stump and in the
press it will be responded to by the
Democracy of the State, who will
sink all personal antagonism and will
reorganize the State Democracy on
the firm basis of Democratic princi-
pie and public confidence. The gentle
men conducting this movement insist
that there is no personal object in it !;
that no personal aspiration or selfish
motive has any influence or gives
any direction to it. Candidates to
represent it must be selected by pub

the hands of two highwaymen.
About $4,000 in money and $4,000
worth of diamonds and other valua-
bles were left by the robbers in their
hast to get through the train and be
cause they did not search the ladies.
They we're evidently novices in the
business, and went away with the
paltry sum of Sl05, three gold watch
es, five revolveIs and one gold ring.
The robbers left the train at the
rear of the sleeper, mounted horses
standing near by and rode rapidly
away. The train was then hurried
to Bellevue, where kilograms were
sent to Superintendent Frost, at Fort
Worth, who Immediately replied,
offering $3.50 reward for each robber,

Sheriff McLain says he knows the
robbers and has no doubt of his abil

nors was on the train, having in
charge two deserters with a guard of
five negro soldiers of the twenty
fourth United States infantry. Con-
nors ordered the soldiers to draw
their revolvers and fight the robbers,
but several passengers opposed So
strongly and pleaded so earnestly in
behalf of the women passengers on

yielded, and when the robbers reach

weapons they quietly gave them up.

engaged in a proposed conference of
Maryland Democrats looking to re-

"a number of Democrats, repre-

their lives, and which has honored
them with the highest trusts in the

selecting members of the convention
and in adopting or rejecting its work
when submitted to them. They are
impressed with the necessity of pre-
serving the State judiciary intact
from corrupt influences, which in
their opinion can only be done by re-
storing and securing fair elections to
the people. They are satisfied also
that the finances of the State are
managed without wisdom or pru-
dence; that taxes levied on the peo-
pie to be saved in the sinking fund
to pay debts at maturity have been
illegally squandered, and that loans
which ought to have been paid when
due have been unwlsely and impru-

Manufacture of Soap.

The maner of making the differ
ent grades of commercial soap is
essentially the same, though differ
ent kinds of fat may be used. 1t is
always made on large scale, in enor-
nous watts or boilers. Several hun
dred weight of crude soda ash is first
dissolved in boiling water in the
soal BOILER, which is huge circular
iron vessel holding five hundred to
one thousand gallons, with a steam
pipe in the centre. Half the weight
OF the soda is pure, caustic, lime is
then added and the mixture boiled,
When the lime has rendered the
soda caustlc, the boiling is discontin-
ued. Several hundred weight of tai
low is now put into the soup pan,
which is different vessel made of
cast iron, to which heat is applied,
either by means of furnace beneath
it, or by steam carried by pipes
around the bottom of the pan. The
latter is the more usual method The
pan usually holds several tons. After
the tallow, cut up into pieces, is put
into this pan, a quantity of I've is
added, the steam is turned on, and
the boiling continued until the I've is
thoroughly incorporated with the
tallow, and the whole becomes a pas
ty mass. Several shovelfuls of COM
mon salt are now thrown in. This
causes the I've to seperate. and as the
mass cools. the lye, deprived of its
soda, is drawn off. Fresh I've is then
added and boiled, and this is repeated
until the tall0w is saturated with the
soda, that is, it will not take up any
more. Water is now added until the
proper consistency is reached. If
resin is to be used, it is now added,
and the mass again boiled. 1t is then
run off into frames. or molds, where
1t is allowed to solidify, and then is
cut by wires into bars, dried, and
packed into boxes. One ton of yell
low soap will require 1000 pounds of
tallow and $50 pounds of resin, with
I've sufficient to make the whole
smooth, perfectly homogeneous and
saDonaceous mass.-Lnter- Ocean.
