ROBBED The EXPRESS.
Two Men Compel an Express Messenger to
0pen His Safe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-The overland
east bound central Pacific train was held
up by robbers near Clipper Gap, in the
Sierras, this morning and robbed of a
large amount Of money, said to be $4,000.
TRUCKER CLAIM, Cal, Dec 26-The ex-
press car on the east bound overland train
was robbed last night two miles beyond
Clipper Gap. Johnson, the express mes
senger, says he was sitting at his desk and
his helper was asserting out packages to
be left at Colfax, when suddenly
the glass transom over the doors,
one on each side of the car, were
broken simultaneously and two re-
volvers thrust through, covering both
messengers. johnson was compelled to
being ordered to keep one hand held up.
The other robber reached inside and I'M
iatched the door, letting himself in. He
then covered the messenger, while the first
robber took from the safe all the coin
packages, which he placed in a game
pouch slung across his shoulders. The
robbers then jumped from the train When
the train stopped at New England Mills
the messengers gave a description of the
robbers, who were only partly disguised
and were both young men. They. were
apparently well acquainted with the
route and with both messengers. The
description was telegraphed in differ
ent directions and two tramps were held
as witnesses. The amount of the loss is
not known, but it is believed it will reach
into the thousands.
SACR..MENTo, Cal, Dec. 26-The agent
here Of Wells, Fargo & company's express
states that it is probable that the amount
secured by the men who robbed the ex-
press car on the east bound Central Pacific
train last night near Clipper Gap, will not
exceed $500. The robbers boarded the train
while it was running slowly near a snow
shed. a package containing &c. 600 in the
express car was overlooked by the robbers.

WERE NOT PRESENT.

LONDON, Dec. 26. A dispatch from
Malta says that neither the Duke nor the
Duchess of Edinburgh were present at the
theater there when the attempt was made
to blow up the building with a bomb 1t
was reported at the time that the duchess
was present and that she was the intended
victim of a nihilist conspiracy. 1t appears
that the bomb was discovered in the lobby
in the rear of the stalls by an attendant.
Attached to it was burning fuse which
the attendant promptly extinguished.
The Russian consul at Malta, who was ar
rested for completely in the attempted out
rage, has been released. There was no evil
dence whatever against him, his arrest be-
ing due to a vague suspicion that ne was
some way implicated in the affair. 1t is
now supposed that the perDetrator was
actuated solely by spirit of wanton mis-

THE STEAMBOAT HANNA.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. pa special to the Re-
publican from New Orleans places the total
loss of life by the burning of the steamer
Hanna at twenty-four. OF the injured
men in the hospital four or five will die,
among them Owens, the sailor, who was
the hero of the disaster, His face is hor-
ribly burned, nose gone and eyes burned;
his left arm is completely burned
away and left side and leg charred
The funeral of the victims took place to-
day, the flags of the steamers in the harbor
being at half mast. Smith, the pilot. who
lost his life, was famous man on the
river and regarded himself as unlucky.
He was on the Robert Lee when
she burned, on the ]. NJ. White when there
was great loss of life and on the
Hanna when she caught fire some years
ago, but was not destroyed. There were
rumors today that the fire was of incendi-
airy origin. Steamers coming down re-
ported the river near Plaquemine filled
with floating burning bales of cotton.
The Paragoud could not land at Plaque
mine owing to the burning cotton.

GEN. HARRISON'S OUteTDAy

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 26.-General Harri-
son is being given the rest and quiet he so
much desired for this week He was able
today to give his almost undivided atten-
tion to work in his library, being inter
rupted by but few callers. His mail does
not diminish and it requires a good deal of
his time as well as that of his private sec
rotary to get through with it each day. and
the rest he is having from visitors is very
agreeable to him. His health remains ex-
cellent and he is able to get through an
astonishing amount of work. The weather
was stormy and disagreeable but it did
not prevent him from taking his usual
walk.
Senator Spooner arrived during the
afternoon and went at once to the resi-
dence of the general. where he remained
until quite late, he being the only caller of
special prominence. The general said
there was no political significance in the
visit

TWO SERIOUS ARRAYS.

AUSTIN, Tex, Dec. 26-Two serious af-
trays occurred here about 2 o'clock this
morning, one resulting in Mr.. Andrew
Townsend, a Pecan street merchant, get
ting badly but not fatally cut across
the breast by Frank Quinn, a railway
telegraph operator. The other resulted
in colored man named John Story
being shot and probably fatally wounded
by a stray shot which was fired in
an alteration between two white men,
Mac Thompson and Harry Baum. in a sa-
loon on Pecan street. Gwinn, who was
drinking at the time, attacked Townsend,
at whom he took some offense in passing
him on the street. He was arrested and
held under ST. 900 to await the result of
Townsend's wounds. Neither Baum or
Thompson was hurt. They have not yet
been arrested.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Dec. 26.-Late last even
ing while some of the colored people were
enjoying social dance at the old Normal
hall, disturbance was raised by a colored
intruder named Morse Murray, who drew
his knife and made an attack upon Ben
johnson and Milton Davis. He took pos
session of the hall and held every one at
bay until the arrival of Marshal Paxton,
when he ran down Commercial street and
committed an assault upon Mr.. Churchill,
knocking him down and kicking him most
severely about the head and face, causing
the blood to run freely. The marshal ar
rested him and took him to the cooler

DESPONDENT AND GLOOMY.

MARRLEHEAD, Mass, Dec. 26.-More re-
liable estimates of the total losses by last
nights fire are $50, 600. and 1900 or more
men thrown out of employment and many
families rendered temporarily homeless.
Thirty-seyen structures in all were de-
stroyed. Thirteen OF these were dwell
ings, twelve were shoe factories and
twelve miscellaneous. Though the bounda-
rieS of the fire are almost identical with
those of the big fire of June. 1887, the losses
on last nights fire are nearly double those
of the former. So quickly did the flames
spread that whole blocks were ruined in
less than fifteen minutes 1t Is now esti-
mated that between eight and nine acres
were burned over, None of the manufac-
tuners think it possible TO rebuild this

a FORGER ARRESTED.

CINCINNATI, O., Dec. 26.-Chas. Tinker,
the boy of 10 who in September last forged
three checks of $1,000 each on banks which
his employers, the Boddman Tobacco ware
house. has accounts, and who afterward
went to London where he was arrested, to-
day made confession of his guilt. He
accuses w n. Hopkins of instigating
him to the crime, and says Hopkins
met him on the street and received the
money and a day or two afterward gave
him the money at the Latonia race track,
all but 81 800. 1t was planned that they
should both go to Europe, but Hopkins
only went as far as New York and changed
his mind. 1t is singular that Thinkers
whereabouts were discovered and his
arrest made possible by a letter which he
wrote from London to Hopkins. A warrant

as an accessory, and the way seems clear
