A HIghwRymRn Goes Through Sleeping
Car-Ons Passengers Presence Of Mind.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, August S,-The
Wisconsin Central passenger train from
Chicago, which passed Chippewa Falls
at 4 o'clock this morning, was held up
and robbed by single man between
Chippewa Falls and Abbotstord half an
hour before. At the hour named a man
entered one Of the sleeping cars OF the
train, commanded the conductor and
porter to throw up their hands and then
proceeded to 20 through them, taking
all they had. One passenger was also
robbed and a shot or two was fired, but
no one was hit, The robber pulled the
bell rope as soon as he had completed
the robbery, and when the train came
to a stop he jumped from the car aud
escaped. No attempt was made to fol-
low him. The ball fired at the porter
whizzed within an inch OF his face, The
man was described US having the APP
pearanCe OF woOdsman, he wore a
slouch hat and carried gun aud big
knife in his belt, Heentered the sleeper
and drove the porter to one end OF the
car. The porter did some yelling to
awaken the passengers, whereupon the
robber fired, This put quietus on the
porter, and the robber got in his work.
He took from the conductor $50, and a
watch from the porter, and from pas
senger some money and watch, He
tackled another passenger, but the latter
told him the conductor had all his
money. As a matter OF fact, however,
the man had $500 on his person,

GREAT RACING EVENT.

Hands Down - How tho Pools

BUFFALO, N, Y, August S.-Fiiteen
thousand persons attended the great
circuit meeting to-day. The chief event
Of the day was the special race between
Belle Hamlin and Harry Wilkes. Belle
lamlin won both the first and second
heats and the race; time, 2;l5 and 2;l7t.
1t was after . O'Clock when the great
special race was called, and sometime
later before they got started. The great
New York gelding sold $50 to $50 be-
fore the heat in the auction pools. Belle
Hamlin was the favorite for the heat in
the Paris Mutuals. The general impress
sion was that Belle would win Il heat
anyway, Nobody thought Wilkes would
have a walkaway, but the knowing ones
expected him to win the race in two OF
the three heats to be trotted, Sire
Brothers baCked the gelding heavily,
but so far us known, Mr., Hamlin bet but
little. The result was a surprise TO
many, The two horses started even on
the second scoring, and Belle was never
far enough ahead to let the sky show
between them. Time, !, l.O7t, l,4O9,
2:l5.
In the second heat they went neck
and neck TO the half in l:07t, when
Belle took the lead. On the homo
stretch Wilkes quit and the last halfwas
trotted in l;l0. Belle won hands down.

A FrRCRE TINT Would DO Credit to tho
American Congress.
LONDON, August 0.-In the House OF
Commons last night, during the debate
on the Irish estimates, Mr.. Balfour,
Chief Secretary for Ireland, referred to
two resident magistrates refusing to sub.
scribe for a race meeting because Ted
Harrington, a member Of the committee,
had denounced the police MS towards,
liars and uniformed blood hounds.
Mr.. Harrington challenged Mr.. Bal.
four 10 give his authority, and Mr.. Bal.
four replied that he spoke on the best OF
authority, Mr.. Harrington started
across the floor, apparently with the in
tention Of assaulting Mr.. Balfour. He
was followed and pulled back by Mr..
Mahoney. A tremendous uproar fol-
lowed.
Tho chairman's calls for order were
drowned i'll Irish yells. Amid mo-
ment's pause, Tim Hcaley loudly aC-
Cused Mr.. Balfour OF using an insulting
gesture toward Mr.. Harrington, and told
Mr.. Balfour to keep quiet, or else they
would make him.
The tumult continued a quarter OF an
hour, the chairman warning the Par
nellites 10 control their feelings. When
order was restored Mr.. Balfour denied
that he had used an insulting gesture,
and Mr.. Harrington apologized for HIS
hasty action. Mr.. BalfOur was then
allowed to proceed with his speech.

Preparing BaSia fur tho Final Distrtbu'
tion at JOhuStOwn,
JoHNsrowN, Pa, August s,-To'day
payments were made TO sufferers in the
last district in the devastated portion OF
the valley.
Orders have been issued.to about 1000
persons, although quite number OF
them never called for them. On the lst
OF August there remained 1859 cases
that had been registered after the CLASH
fication had been made, and US quickly
as they can be classified they will be
given their orders and paid; then from
the sworn papers that have been exc
Cuted by all in the first five classes, a
basis for the final distribution will be
made.
According to estimates there will re-
main l,0Sl cases in class 9 who have re-
ceived nothing in this distribution.
Certiiication OF tho losses in this class
will also be made, and when u basis for
payment is completed checks for the
amount coming to each, will be mailed
and the accounts closed up. The most
difficult part OF the work Is now being
done by committee in fixing Il basis for
this final payment, and all suggestions
that are made receive careful Considera-
ton.
The sworn papers Of A. G. West,
which were sent to the Board OF Inquiry
here to-day, prove him to be rascal, us
there was no such person living where
he swCars he lived.
]. @. Martin, OF Philadelphia, a
wealthy coal operator and prominently
connected with tho Red Cross Society,
was in town to-day. He assisted in COM
pleting arrangements for the build
ing OF two more boarding houses
similar to the ono erected on Locust
street a short time ago. One OF these
will be built adjoining the Brethren
Church in Kernville, II II site can be
procured. This is acknowledged to be
the most useful form OF relief that can
be given Just now, us unless some differ
ent means are adopted a large number
OF the people will be without shelter
when cold weather comes.
Three more bodies were taken out OF
the ruins near the lower end OF town
to-day. One was a little girl and was
found in the middle OF Market street.

Cording to the conservative statistics OF

low, aud suggests that further confer.
enCe be held with view, il possible, OF
fixing the rate at 70 cents, with re.
sumption OF work throughout the entire
district. To this end, the following tele.
gram was sent to-day to Mr.. W. L. Scott,
