ROBBERS HALT A TRAIN.
Eight Men in the Gang and the Pas
sengers Terrified.

Ell PAso, Ten, Jan. 1.-THE Mexican
Central passenger train due here this morn
ing was held up last night about 800 miles
south of FL Paso by band of robbers The
train bad stopped for water at the base of
the mountains and just as the engineer was
about TO start eight men suddenly
made their appearance. Two of
the thieves covered the engineer and
fireman with revolverS. Two others pro-
ceeded to the express car and the balance
stationed themselves at the doors of the two
coaches and terrified the passengers so COM
pletey that no effort was made 10 save the
express agent, who in defending his car was
being roughly handled.
THE sPous.
The robbers were said TO have been
Americans, and were armed TO tine teeth.
They finally succeeded in quieting the ex-
press agent, and secured considerable sum
of money in gold and in Mexican and
American bills. A large quantity of silver
was stored in the car, and
the robbers undertook to carry it along,
but, owing to its great weight and probably
to fear that IL would delay them, they re-
luctantly left it behind. So far as learned
no passengers were maltreated. The rob
bers took to the mountains, disappearing as
suddenly as they had come As vet the de-
whole transaction did not occupy three
minutes, and those on the train were so
completely surprised that no attempt at de-
Tense was made.
THE TRAIN AT Ell PAso.
The Mexican Central train which
was robbed last night arrived at
FL Paso this NOR ing. The robbery
occurred at Mapula, 240 miles south of
Ell Paso and fourteen miles north of Chi
huahua. Mapula is small station without
telegraph office. The robbers were six
or eight in number. 1t is be-
lieved that none were Mexicans. The
trainmen and passengers think one or more
negroes were in the gang. The robbers
fired several shots to frighten the trainmen
and passengers into submission. The Wells
Fargo messenger E. j. Cloper, was forced
to open his treasure box, which was riied.
He says the robbers got only 1914.
The robbers said that they had
intended to rob the train which came
along the day before, which carried large
amount of silver, but they arrived too late
to catch the train. After the train reached
chihuahua a force OF fifty Mexican troops
were dispatched to pursue the robbers.

at Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, PA, Jan. 1.-THE largest
gun ever made of steel in one casting, and
one of the three big guns recently ordered
by the United States government, was cast
at the Pittsburg Steel Company's works, in
this city, this afternoon. Whether it will
be a success or not can at present only be
surmised, except for the excellence of an
equally great, though somewhat differ
ent, casting recently made at the
works. The tests made of the metals
used to-day. however. showed that
the least small portions tried were fawless
and of the grades desired. A cursory ex-
animation of the mould about one hour
after the metal had been poured in was also
highly gratifying TO the experts who made
it, The casting will not be taken from the
mould for a week

GunnOsed Earthquake.

Night before last about II O'Clock num-
ber Of persons who reside IN the northern
part Of the city between Seventh and Tenth
streets felt what they suppose were two
earthquake shocks.
There are varying statements about the
hour OF occurrence, but several Trustworthy
people sgree that there were plainly peTcept-
able tremors OF the earth, sufficient, in one
case at least, to wake gentleman who was
fast asleep.
As far as known in no other section OF the
city was the disturbance felt, and for this
reason there u an inclination on the part OF
many to attribute the unpleasant sensation
TO other than natural causes.
