ST. LOUIS, Dec. 13.-The particulars
of the train robbery yesterday neal
Bellevue Station, Texas, are, that
three robbers, who were unmasked and
made no attempt at concealment, ar
rived at the water tank a few minutes
before the train. When the train ar
rived one of the robbers, with drawn
pistol, ordered engineer Ayers and his
fireman, and O. G. Miller, another en-
gineer who was riding in the cab, to
alight, which they did. He then
marched them some 80 feet from the
train and went through them, taking
all the valuables they had. While this
was going on the other two men went
through the train. 1t appears that
one of the passengers in the rear car,
who was looking out of the window,
and saw the operation with train men,
and divining the situation, went into
the forward cars and notified the other
passengers of what was going on, and
told them to secrete their money.
This they did in various ways, giving
most OF it and their diamonds to sew
eral ladies aboard. Miss Kate Haas,
of Fort Worth, took charge OF $4,000
and other valuables. Mrs. Chambers,
of Pottsdam, New York, received
S., 900 and some diamonds, and Mrs.
Wittick, of Carthage took her husbands
gold watch and several hundred dol
lars. Mrs. Wittick was greatly in
censed at the proceedings, and bodily
stood up in the car and asked if forty
men were going to tamely submit to
such an outrage at the hands OF two
highwaymen. About $4,000 in
money and $4,000 worth of diamonds
and other valuables were left by the
robbers in their haste to get through
the train. Because they did not
search the ladies they were evidently
novices in the business, and went
away with the paltry sum of $105,
three gold watches-$10-silver watches
five revolvers, and one gold ring.
The robbers left the train at the rear
end OF a sleeper, mounted their 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 by Of
fering $3.50 reward for each robber.
In less than an hour five posses o.
officers and citizens were in pursuit.
Superintendent Connors was on the
train, having two deserters, with q
guard of five negro soldiers OF the
Twenty-fourth artillery. Mr.. Corners
commanded the soldiers to draw their
revolvers and fight the robbers. but
several of the passengers opposed this
SO strongly, and plead 81 earnestly in
behalf of the women and children on
board, that the superintendent re-
luctantly yielded, and when the rob.
bers reached the soldiers and de-
manded their weapons they quietly
gave them up.
A Woman Murdered by HOdy
Snatchers.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 13.-Early Friday
morning a negro man brought to the
Maryland University, on Lombard
street, the body of a white woman,
and left it with Anderson Perry, the
colored janitor, saying that he would
call again for SIS, the price agreed
upon. The body was taken, to be
prepared for keeping until needed for
dissection, but it was found that the
head was horribly crushed, and there
were two wounds on the left breast.
The police were at once notified. Yes
terday a post norton examination
was made. A physician stated posi-
lively that the wounds we're made
after death, leaving the inference that
it was simply a case OF body snatch
ing, and that the work had been done
by a novice. To-day, however, the
body was identified as that of Emily
Brown, a woman go years old, who for
the past six months had been boarding
with a colored family in the western
portion of the city. She was of dis
sipated habits and lived by begging.
She was at her home three hours be-
fore her body was brought to the Uni
versity, and it is evident that she
was brutally murdered for the price
her body would bring for use on a dis
secting table. Perry, the ~janitor who
received the body, denies he ever saw
the woman, but he is known to have
been a boarder at the same house, and
to have eaten breakfast with her on
the morning of the murder. He was
to-day arrested as an accessory.
