ANOTHER EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Two Men Hold Up Train in Cali
ia

Two Men Hold Up Train in Cali
fornia.
The express of the east-bound over
land train was robbed on the night of
the Oath, two miles east of Clipper Gap,
Cal. Bob Johnson, express messenger,
says he was sitting at his desk, and his
helper was sorting out packages to be
left at Colfax, when suddenly the glass
transom over two doors, one on
each side of the car, were broken
simultaneously and two revolvers thrust
through, covering both messengers.
Johnson was compelled to open
the door and let one robber in,
being ordered to keep one hand
held up. The other robber reached in
side and Unattached the door, letting
himself in. He then covered the mes
senger 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 stop
ped at New England Mills, the messen-
gers gave a description Of the robbers,
who were only partially disguised, and
were both young men. They were ap-
parentiy well acquainted with the route
and with both messengers. Descrlp-
tions were telegraphed in different d.
rections from Coliax and two tramps
were held as witnesses. The amount of
the loss is not known, but it will reach
into the thousands.

A REAL BRICAND.
An Italian Murderer Captured in {
necticut.

An Italian Murderer Captured in Con-
necticut.
Pietro Dinarvo, an Italian brigand,
who two years ago murdered the Mar
quis Giolo Sanduzzi, while robbing his
house at Torella, Italy, was arrested on
the 28th at Stamford, Conn. The scat
fold awaits him in italy. The murder
of the Marquis Sanduzzi, a venerable
and philanthropic nobleman, made a
sensation in Italy in the sum-
mer of 1886. A band Of brigands
were sacking the villa and in the act
of bursting open his strong box
when the old marquis, aroused by the
noise, came upon them from his bed
chamber. An army officer and veter-
an of many wears, the old man turned
upon the marauders to defend his prop
erty. They made him fight for his tie.
The battle was brief. Tie chief of the
brigands sprang upon him and burying
his knife in his abdomen to the hilt,
stabbed him to death. Tie strong box
was broken open. Bonds worth 100000
francs, 1000 francs in cash and the fam
lily plate and Jewels were taken. The
murderers left no trace. The Italian po-
lice hunted the NJ many months in vain.
Almost a year had passed when two
of them were caught in another
province trying TO sell some or the
stolen goods. They confessed they were
three in number when they raided tie
villa of Sanduzzi and their leader, who
killed the old marquis, was Pietro Di-
narvo, like themselves sworn members
of a society of brigands. Spies were put
on Dinarvo's track. They followed him
to Naples. Late in 1886 he escaped on a
steamer for America. Last June the
matter was placed in the hands of In
spector Byrnes. Detective Tessaro, an
Italian, discovered the brigand working
on the railroad down East. Then he
lost track of him, but about two weeks
ago Tessaro finally located his man
working on a railroad in Connecticut,
near the New York line. Dinarvo was
boarding in barracks in Stamford. A
half dozen deputies with the detective
surrounded the barracks and captured
him.

There was great fire in Cincinnati on
on the 25th. 1t began at half-past 8
O'CLOCK IN the morning, and burned to
ashes factories and dwellings covering
three acres of ground. At the corner Of
Budd and Harriet Streets, in the rope
walk OF the Charles c.. Jacobs Cordage
Company, the fire started. It spread
rapidly In this building in which tar
and other material fed the flames,
and it soon extended to the
large stable of the works and
the platform of the Cincinnati.
Hamilton & Dayton Railroad, whose
track was alongside the rope walk for
300 feet. Soon the eight box and four
HAT cars on the railroad were burning
and the fire had extended over great
area. Though the weather was calm,
the intense heat of the wooden build
lumber yard of the Belts Street Far
niture Company, where $75, ZOO worth of
furniture was turned to ashes.
By this time the heat was almost un-
bearable. Sooner than it takes to write
the words, the factory of the Central
Furniture Association, worth with its
contents SIS, 900, was ablaze, doomed to
destruction, and the Queen City Irvine
Conn any's factory works, worth with
it's contents $4,000, was a minute later
in the merciless mbrace of the flames.
From these the fire spread to adjacent
dwellings. Two brick dwellings on
Budd Street, the property of Charles
II. Jacobs. worth $4,000. were de-
stroyed. A three-story brick on Budd
Street belonging to Harry Mayberry,
worth $6 900, was burned to the ground.
Two dwellings on Budd Street were also
burned.
The loss on the rope walk, long
wooden building, was about $4,000; that
of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
Railroad, including all its cars, which
were burned with contents, was about
$4,000. In addition to the houses de-
stroyed there were score or more of
dwellings in the neighborhood more or
less scorched. A large part of the force
OF the fire department was kept busy
distinguishing and re-extinguishing in
cipient fires on dwellings. In fact the
department had its hands full to keep
the fire from becoming a sweeping con-
fagration and in this the calmness of
the day was great help. The total loss
and damage is rather over than under
100000. The property was all fairly
well insured. Three fremen were
knocked out of the service by injuries,
but none OF them are seriously hurt

A HAPPY CHRISTMAS.
A Mammoth Christmas Tree for the Poor
of St Louis.


There was rare scene at the St.
Louis Exposition Building on the 25th,
the occasion being the distribution of
presents to children of the poor, from
the Post-Dispatch Christmas tree, for
which fund Of nearly $4,000 had been
subscribed by the general public. The
subscriptions were started with 10-cent
contributions, with no idea of the magni-
tude the affair was to assume, and the re-
suit has far exceeded the most sanguine
expectations of the projectors. Fully
$4,000 children received presents and
for hours the streets in the vicinity of
the exposition building were blocaded
with humanity. The children began to
arrive as early as A. NJ, and it was late
in the evening before the mites of hui
manly had disappeared. A detail of
fifty policemen took charge of the en-
trance of the building. Soon after the
citizens committee put in an ap-
pearance, the doors were opened and
the great crowd of children began to
pour into the hall. It was a difficult
task to control the eager ones, but no
accidents occurred. No adults were adj
mitted owing TO the lack of room, but hun
dreds of parents waited on the outside
in the DRILLING rain until their children
came out loaded with their presents
from the great tree. The cavalry depot
band, by permission Of the secretary of
war, furnished the music, and a two
hours entertainment was given. The
tree, which was placed on the stage,
was an immense affair, towering away
into the flies, and was loaded with pres
ents. The morning scene was repeated
in the afternoon, and in the evening
the general public was admitted. There
will be fund of several thousand dol
lars remaining from the days entertain
ment, and it will be expended for pur
chasing clothing, shoes, etc., for the

END THE 20" BOYCOTT.
Important Action at a Meeting of Engi-
neers at Chicago.


CHICAGO, Dec. o8.-At an important
meeting of engineers of Western roads
to-day, the committee appointed at
Richmond to settle the Burlington
strike will report a settlement. The
boycott will be Withdrawn.
About 250 delegates representing the
roads west of the Mississippi River, con-
vened here this morning for the pur-
pose of establishing closer relations be-
tween the engineers Of the roads in the
Westand Southwest. It is understood
the Brotherhood men are still very Bit
ter against the Burlington road and the
Knights of Labor engineers employed
by the company.
A prominent official of the Burlington
road said this morning: eve have
no objection to the strike be-
ing declared off, but if it's
being so declared depends on our re-
ceding one inch from our original stand
or making the slightest concession,
then the strike will remain as it is. We.
did more business in October than for
any month since 1885,"
