Bold rexas Train Robbers.

TEMPLE, Tx, Dec. 20.-The westbound
passenger train on the San Angelo branch Of
the Santa Fe was held up this morning early
at Bangss station, 1872 miles west of this
city. While the train was standing at the
station the train guard, Al Wolf was stand
ing on the ground, when he saw four men
coming toward him. He thought they were
passengers until they were close by, when
they drew their pistols and ordered him TO
throw up his hands. They then struck him
and knocked him down. He attempted to
cross the track but when on the platform
they knocked him against the door of the
coach.
The noise attracted the attention Of Brake
man S. T. Penn, who. upon stepping TO the
platform, snatched the guards pistol and
fired into the gang of robbers. The robbers
returned the fire, shooting Penn three times
in the body, mortally wounding MIN. Aiier
the shooting the robbers compelled the guard
to uncouple the express car from the next
coach and ordered the engineer TO run ahead
to point distant, where the express car was
robbed. Only about $40 was obtained by the
robbers.
No arrests have yet been made, but it is
believed the robbers will soon be overtaken,
as pursuit was started Immediately with
bloodhounds, and it is scarcely possible for
them to get away far. The brakeman died
at Goldthwaite, whittier he was taken at 6
O'Clock this morning

The cronln Jury-BrIblng Case.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-The work Of preparing
for the prosecution of the Cronin iury-brib-
ing case has been already begun in the State
Attorneys office. Said one Of the principal
attorneys for the prosecution Every day
that passes adds to the strength of the infor-
nation in our hands and the case may be
the most sensational OF this whole gigantic
conspiracy"
A statement of all that transpired in the
iury-room will be prepared in day or two" !"
said Juror Bontecon this morning. and
then the public will know just what oc-
Cured
"wll the statement be signed by the
twelve jurymen?T
By eleven, not twelve. One of the jury
men, won't say who, is now engaged in
getting expressions from the rest OF the ju-
rors regarding a statement to the public.
The statement will speak for itself, and will
be long one, because nothing viii be left
out"
Mr.. Bontecou gave some interesting rem
ini~cences Of the nearly three months ofjury
service. The hailifis kept pretty close to
us all the time, he said, ." but things hap
pened that should not have happened. For
instance, I was allowed to go home TO see
my wife several times. On one of these &C
casious prominent mana very prominent
man-managed to get close enough to me to
say without the bailiff hearing it Now. do
your dnty and hang every one of them. -
On another occasion another friend OF one
of the jurors who got close enough said to
him II you don't hang them all, we'll give
it tn you Now, of course. we ought not TO
have heard that. 1t didn't influence us one
way or another, but it gave US an idea OF
the feeling outside"

A HospltaI on Fire.


NEW York, Dec. Plat 8 o'clock this
evening three alarms were sent ont for fire
IL the Presbyterian Hospital, Fourth avenue
and seventy-first street
The fire started on the iifth and top floor
ofthe hospital. The patients were removed
from the building in safety, and at 10 O'Clock
the fire was under control
Duringsits progress avail on the Madison
avenue side of the building fell and four
firemen were caught in the debris and badly
burned and bruised.
There were eighty patients in the hospital.
They were naturally much alarmed, but the
nurses succeeded in keeping order. The po-
lice also allowed civilians 10 enter the build
ing and aid in the work of rescue. There
were many exciting scenes. The sick were
carried out in mattresses and taken across
the street TO another building belonging to
the hospital. Some were also taken into
private houses in the vicinity. and some into
the several club houses in the neighborhood
all Of which threw open their doors. The
last patient was taken out of the upper story
just before the wall and ceiling fell, by which
the -four iremen were injured
The fire was confined to the upper floor.
but the whole interior Of the building was
badly damaged by water. The d.mage will
probably reach 100000.

Influenza in the West.

DETROIT. MIcH., Dec. l6.-The Russian in
huenza has reached Detroit, and curiously
enough. o.ia.only bank employees are affiiotee
This is attributed, however, TO the report
that microbes travel in paper money. and
when the contagious paper has been freely
circulated in the city it is expected the dis
ease will become epidemic. At the PENN
sular Bank nine of the employees were sick
at one time. In the Preston National there
are four cases. The entire staff of the First
National has IL, and there are two cases in
the Merchants and Manufacturers Bank.
The symptoms are different in nearly every
case. In some il produces IAN all gone, tired
feeling as one expressed it, while in others
the lining Of the nose, mouth and throat is
affected still Others have cough. Lame
mesa is one of the general points in which it
shows up strong.

he rode up and down Main street, firing his

were fired at Barco from Winchester rifles,
shotguns. &c, and his horse shot from under
him, he managed to escape. The citizens
and officers are making a vigorous search for
him. II is generally believed that Barco is

PetroIIa in Ashes.

BUrLER. Pa, December 22.-The business
norton of Petrolia is in ashes. A fire broke
out at O'Clock in the morning in klingen-
smiths grocery store when a strong wind
was prevailing. and burned along both sides
of Main. Argyle and Fairview streets, de-
stroying practically all OF the business bous-
Is and many residences. The fire plugs were
filed with mud and 10 water could be had
Under such hopeless circumstances little or
no effort was made to fight the flames, which
swep, over the little oil town with frigh,ful
velocity. 1t was all the sleeping inhabitants
could do to get ont with their lives and
wearing apparel. Nothing Of value was
saved from the burned district. Fortunately
no loss of life is reported and no one was Sc
riously hurt. II is impossible TO put any
thing like an accurate estimate on the total
loss, but it will range between $4,000 and
500 600.
The ihickly settled portion Of the town on
the norths ide of Main street between Argyle
street and the Offices Of the United Pipe
Line. including the latter, and on the south
side from the bank. which is still standing,
to Fairview street, is destroyed, as well as
the buildings on Fairview street as far south
As the Presbyterian Church and north on
Argyle street to the street lesding TO the
cemetery. About 40 buildings were destroy
ed, The loss TO the me chants is very heavy.
They saved neither buildings nor stock
aud il is believed that in most instances
there was very little il any insurance on
either, as the buildings were generally frame
and the insurance rate was so high as TO be
almost prohibitory. Petroiia has been
scourged several times with fire and food
but this is the most disastrous visitation in
its history. It's present population is 700.

A Female detective.

BATAVIA, n Y, December l9.--Mrs Amy
A. Hodges. the young wife of well known
farmer. is an accomplished horsewoman,
and knows by sight most Of the good hor-
ses within circuit Of several miles and who
their owners are. Last June she saw horse
belonging TO DR.. Mcpherson being driven
past her home by a stranger. She surmised
that the driver was horsetkief. and mount
ing her bay, followed him. At Stafford, five
miles away, she overlook the stranger, and
seeing codstable named De Wolf she told
him Of her suspicion and asked him TO ar
rest the man. De Wolf made the arrest.
The supervisors Of Genesee county offer a
standing reward of Si0g for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of
horse thieves in that county Mrs. Hodges
and De Wolf both claimed the reward. and
at a meeting Of the supervisors on Saturday,
by unanimous vote, decided in favor OF

But the climax to the scene af horror was
reached in the bed room. There, lying AT
the foot Of the bed. was Mrs. Shaler and BY
her side was her husband. Both were cold
in death and the blood from gaping wounds
in their necks soaked through the
clothes and mattress and was trickling on
the floor. while directly in the path Of the
led stream tl.st had run along the floor lay

ted with blood and it was evident that the
horrible butcheries had been committed with

had been cut from ear TO car, the same as
hog is butchered.
There were no marks of struggles in the
house, and it was evident that the father
had early this morning taken two Of his
children from their beds, cut their throats
before they could utter sound, then going
into his bedroom had done the same with
his wife and baby and lastly had drawn the
cold, keen steel across his oEn throat and,
dropping on the bed besides his wife. died
as the heart ceased beating in the woman he
had sworn to love and protect.
Ever since the discovery of the crime
solid mass of humanity has been packed
around the house, and the police have with
the utmost difficulty kept persons from
crowding into the dwelling.
JEALOUSY PRoBABLy THE CAUSE.
A number OF theories have been advanced
for the crime, but the most plausible, seems
to be that the deed resulted from jealousy.
It is known that Shaler has OF late charged
his wife with infdelity, and his excuse for
being intoxicated several times within the
past year has been that family troubles
made him desperate. The general opinion
is that his charges were without foundation.
The murderer and suicide was 50 years
old, and held prominent position in roll
ing mill here His eldest child was aged Z
the youngest 2.
