A Colossal Engine.

III. Boulet, the proprietor of an I'M
mense foundry in Paris, is engaged in
the construction of colossal engine
in his shops which is to be tried st an
early day. According to the contrac.
tors when this engine, with equally
large carriages attached to it begins
to run you may leave the French
capital at 6 o'clock in the morning
and reach the Phoc@an in time for
luncheon, or a trip out to the famous
Chateau d. If, where Edmond Dantes
was imprisoned. 1t is announced
confidently that the new locomotive
will realize an approximate speed Of
$50 kilometers, or about 90 miles an
hour. Such speed, says the Lon ION
Times, will be a blessing for those
whose spirits falter in the mist
and languish for the purple seas, for
they have chance of leaving Paris
on a January morning in the midst
Of snow and ice and of arriving amid
the roses Of the Riviera in time for
luncheon

FOUR ROBBERS BOLD.

They Hold Up Passenger Tram and Sc
cure Money and Valuables.
Ell PAso, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE Mexican
Central passenger train, due here this
morning, was held up last night about 500
miles south of FL Paso by band of rob-
bers. The train had stopped at water
ing station at the base of the mountains
and just as the engineer was about to
open the throttle valve, eight men sud-
denly made their appearance out of a
piece Of woods skirting the track. Two
of the thieves covered the engineer and
fireman with their revolvers. The 9TH
ers proceeded to the express car, and
the balance stationed themselves at the
doors of the two coaches and terrified
the passengers SO completely that no eff
fort was made to save the express agent,
who in defending the valuable
property in his car was being
roughly handled The robbers were
said to have been Americans, and
were armed to the teeth. They secured
a considerable sum of money in gold
and In Mexican and American bills.
Quite q large quantity of silver was
stored in one corner of the express car,
and the robbers undertook to carry it
along, but. owing to its great weight,
and also, no doubt, to the lear,
that they were probably delaying
too long, they were reluctantly COM
PEELED to leave it behind. Having secur-
ed their booty the robbers took to the
mountains, disappearing as suddenly as
they had come upon the scene. As yet
the details of the robbery are very mea-
ger, though it is certain there were no
casualties

PLOTS TO PUNISH.
"A Conspiracy Against the Life of the Cza

"A Conspiracy Against the Life of the Gar
Discovered.
A st. Petersburg dispatch Of the 10th
says: The arrangements for the move
ments of the court have been altered,
and the imperial family will make a
shorter stay in ST. Petersburg
than intended. The car and
family will come here Thurs
day, hold the customary New
Years reception Friday, and immedi-
ately return to the palace at Gatchina.
The court balls will be abandoned. All
these changes are due to the discovery
of another plot against the life of the
car. A large number of persons have
been arrested here for participating in
the plot. Among them are several Off
GERS in the army, just arrived in st.
Petersburg from the provinces.
The Vienna Allegemeine Zeitung says
it has received information from reli-
able source in St. Petersburg that plot
against the Gar had been discovered
and that numerous persons, including
several army officers, have been arrest
ed on charge of being implicated in it.
Private dispatches from Warsaw say the
conspiracy against the Gar had it's CEN
ter in st. Petersburg and that it was of
unusual magnitude as regards both the
number and position of the persons i'm

BAD BLAZE IN CHICAGO.
A Four-Story Building Burns With
HEAVY Loss.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 11.-At last mid
night the four STORY building at the cor
ner Of Madison Street and the river was
destroyed by fire. The flames were dis
covered by boy named Joe Friedberg,
who was sleeping on the second floor
and was awakened by smoke. The boy
jumped up, and, without waiting to put
on his coat, aroused his employer, A.
Elhnger, who also slept on the same
Co., floor. The firm Of A. Ellinger &
manufacturers of cloaks and suitings
occupied the whole of the second and
third floors. Ellinger sent the
boy up stairs to the work room to secure
some valuable patterns, and in the
meantime, attempted to put out the
blaze, and a passer-by, seeing the blaze
ran TO the box at Market and Madison
Streets and turned in an alarm. The
boy ran up stairs and began to gather up
the patterns, but had not made much
progress when he became aware that
his life was in danger. The fire
escape was his only hope. He ran to
one on the west side of the building and
next TO the river, climbed out of the
window, and stood on the landing
shrieking for help. He was so fright
ened that he was for the time bereft OF
power to descend the escape. The mem
bers of truck No. put up ladder and
finally rescued him. The total loss by
the fire will reach $500, 900.

COUNTING THE DEAD.
Ten Persons Killed in the Massachusetts
Railway Disaster.

HAvERHILL, Mass, Jan. 1.-Dennis
.Shanahan. who was terribly injured at
the time of the railway accident at
Bradford, yesterday, died at the hospital
this morning. He was 80 years old and
unmarried. A family that was killed,
supposed to be Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin
and child, proved to be George n. Cole,
wife and 5-year-old child who were en-
route from Rockdale, Mass, to Kenne-
bunkport, On a visit. Mr.. and Mrs. T..
P. Goodwin were wounded, and are at
the hospital, comfortable. The dead
has reached the number of ten.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 11.-General Man
ager Furber, of the Boston & Maine
Railway, wasseen to-day in regard to the
cause Of the disaster at Haverhill yester-
day. He said there is no doubt that 1t
must be attributed to the breaking of a
wheel. An examination showed that
quite a large piece was broken from the
hange of the leading wheel on the right
side of the fifth car which was the first
car to leave the track.
''The cause Of the breakage was doubt
less flaw in the casting which couldn't
be detected upon the surface of the iron"
Mr.. Furber said. THE wheels were in
spected at Boston before the departure
Of the train and again at Lawrence.
There is a slight curve just before the
bridge is reached aud as soon as the
broken wheel struck the curve it glided
off the track" Mr.. Furber thought
that the loss to the property of the COM
pany would be about 81 600.

CALLING RUSSIA TO TIME.
The Hungarian Diet Takes Official No
tice of the War Preparations.

tice of the War Preparations.
PESTH, Jan. lin the Lower House
of the Hungarian Diet to-day, Herr
Heleny submitted an Interpolation as
to whether the government had adj
dressed inquiries to hNssia in regard to
the cause tor and object of the recent
unexpected Russian military prepare
tions; whether Austria had adhered I'M
swervinglyto the programme it laid down
in 1856 regarding Bulgaria; whether the
government did not consider it advis-
able to take the initiative in summoning
an international conference to settle the
Bulgarian affair in the sense of
the programme of 1886, and whether
in the event the sincere efforts now
being made to maintain peace did not
succeed Austria might count upon al
lance of Germany and Italy Herr
Herczel asked whether the government
did not consider it expedient to categori-
cally demand that Russia shall not only
discontinue her ornaments, but shall
also reduce her troops on the frontier to
dimensions which Will no longer threat
en- Austrias safety. The date Of Prime
Minister Tisza's reply to these interpret
lations has not vet been fixed.

FUSTL4DE 4TA FIRE.
Twenty Thousand Cartridges and Several
Kegs of Powder.


Kegs of Powder.
LOWELL, Mass, Jan. 1.-Two large
four-story brick buildings, owned by the
city and occupied by the fire depart
ment and by companies sc" and &C."
Sixth Regiment, as armory, were de-
stroyed by fire this morning. In one
building were 10000 rounds of cartridges,
which kept up constant fusilade, and
several kegs of gunpowder, which ex-
ploded with such force as to
be heard all over the city.
Both buildings were completely Quilted.
The fire alarm telegraph system was
rendered useless and every electric
light in the city was eXtinguished. The
electric light station was in close proXim-
ity to the fire and the wires were de-
stroyed. The buildings were valued at
S35, 900. The uniforms of companies
''C' and &c" with arms were totally de-
stroyed. The roof of the adjoining
building was broken in by falling walls
of the brick buildings and the building
with its contents will be total loss. 1t
was occupied by grain and hay dealers.
1t is now thought that SIC, 000 will cover
total loss. All the fire apparatus was
saved but the firemen lost nearly all
their personal effects.

The Sensational Graham MaIloy Case
Called at Springfield, Mo.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Jan. 16.-Tbe pre-
liminaries of the trial of Cora Lee for
completely in the murder of Mrs. Ora
ham are attracting general interest and
the town is filed with farmers and res
idents of the country for miles around.
Several days will probably be occupied
in getting a jury. Since the last trial
Cora has been employed as a nurse
in the family of a wealthy
Omaha banker. Should she be
acquitted as she expects to be, she
will 60 to New York and enter training
school with the intention of becoming a
professional nurse. Judge Bland is pre-
siding over the trial. Over half dozen
states have been ransacked for evidence
regarding the good character of the &C
cused and the dispositions in this partic-
ular make quite formidable pile.
[Cora Lee is charged with the murder
of Mrs. Graham, the wife of the man
whom the defendant married few
months previous to the alleged killing.
Mrs. Emma Malloy, formerly of Madi-
son, Wis, is alleged to be an accom-
plice. having brought about the marriage
of Graham and Cora Lee. Graham was
lynched for the crime.
