Two Very Capable Robbers,

Details make the robbery Of the Missouri
Kansas and Topeka express at Perry. Ind Ter,
quite picturesque. Two men did it all They
concealed themselves in bushes near the water
tank and when the train stopped for water
they boarded the engine. one ON either side
and covering the astounded engineer and fire.
man with their revolvers. One robber climbed
the tender and held the engineer under his
pistol. The other went to the express car an d
uncoupled it. Then he covered the express
messenger with brace Of revolyers and Or
dered him to disarm. He obeyed, and the
robber called to his confederate in the tender.
IAN right; let her 60" The latter repeated
the command to the engineer, who opened
the throttle and the engine and express
sped away. Meanwhile the robber in
the express car compelled the messen-
ger to open the safe and transfer the
contents to q large sack, which he had brought
along. The robber then made a hasty ex-
animation of the car to see that nothing valu-
able was overlooked, and. giving signal to
his confederate, the latter ordered the engin-
eer to slack up. The robbers then disembarked
and made their escape in the darkness. The
total haul was between S45,0 and $50, 600.
This loss must be borne by the Pacific express
company, which operates on the line.

Congressional Literature.

The members of the Senate committee on
printing are apparently well pleased with them
selves, and when Monday arrives they will be
prepared to receive the congratulations of SEN
ators and Representatives The cause of
this good humor is to be found in the
fact that when Congress assemblies it
will have laid before it all the literature
which the law requires should be ready by the
first Monday in December. The abridgment
OF the last-the farewell-reports of President
Cleveland and his cabinet is ready for delivery.
and the Congressional directory will be on every
desk before the Vice President and Gen. Clark
call, respectively, the Senate and House to
order. The abridgment Is the result of good
deal of work, 5000 pages of plain and tabulated
matter having been boiled down to l. 100 pages
and yet the connection has been preserved
he early publication of these documents is
due to the activity of Mr.. Michael, clerk to the
committee who has also introduced several
usefully novel features into the directory.

SAFETY LIGHTS AT SEA.
The Marine Conference DispOsing Of
Amendments to Rules Of the Road.

At the opening Of the International marine
conference yesterday amendments were offered
to rules Of the road by Delegates Goodrich and
Shackford OF the United States and Lieut.. De-
Sebane of Spain. They were ordered to be
printed.
An amendment offered by Capt. Settembrini
Of Italy was then considered. 1t provides that
all sailing vessels of five tons gross and upward
engaged in trawling shall carry from sunset to
sunrise a white light SO constructed as to show
an unbroken light around the horizon
This amendment was proposed to take the
place OF section in the report OF the commit
tee on lights for small craft providing that
such vessels shall carry beside the white light
a sufficient supply Of red pyrotechnic lights, to
be shown when approaching another vessel.
On motion OF the delegates from Hawaii an
amendment was adopted to another section Of
the committees report, increasing from five to
seven tons the tonnage of vessels engaged In
trawllng, which shall not be obliged to carry q
white light, but have at hand lantern showinga
bright white light for exhibition in time to pre-
vent collision. The consideration of the re-
mainder of the report of the committee on
lights for small craft. left unfinished yesterday,
was then resumed, and was soon disposed OF.
DELEGATE FROM GREAT BRITAIN.
Just before the conference took a recess the
chairman announced that Mr.. James Whim-
hurst, a delegate from Great Britain, had ar
rived and taken his seat in the conference.
After recess yesterday in the maritime con-
ference an amendment offered by the German
delegates was adopted providing that sailing
vessels under way shall keep out of the way of
sailing vessels or boats engaged in fishing with
nets, lines, or travis. Such vessels shall, when
under way, indicate their occupation by dis
playing a basket or other efficient signal where
it can best be seen. But this rule shall not
give to any vessel or boat engaged in fishing
the right of obstructing fair way used by yes
sells other than fishing vessel or boats.
A series of resolutions relating to lights on
vessels, submitted by Admiral Laznakoff, was
adopted for reference to each power for action.
They are not intended to form a part Of the
new rules of the road
The conference adjourned to meet Monday
morning

Sailors Burned The CapftOJ.

Mr.. Charles Hallock has received a letter
from Mr.. E. d. Dawson Of Bridgewater. Ms.
an old gentleman of seventy, whose grandfather
a New England royalist, migrated to that coun-
try in 1747. 1t relates to the burning of the
capitol in this city in 1914. The writer SAYS:
"A half-cousin of mine helped set fire to the
public buildings of Washington as blue jacket.
He told me SO more than once and laug he'd at
the fun which they had with the relocated
officers in command when scolding them for
the doing OF the deed. This fixes the RESPONSE
bility Of the fire upon the sailors, not upon the
soldiers, who, it would appear, were opposed
to the vandalism

A Most Fearful Death.

James Carney was baked to death in an oven
at Canton, Mass. Sunday. He was employed
on the day gang in the Kinsley iron and ma
chine works. For some reason he went to the
oven ON Saturday afternoon without the knowl-
edge of his fellow workmen and was shut in
when the day gang quit work. The oven was
not opened again until 2 o'clock Monday
morning, when the night gang discovered the
imprisoned man, still alive but unconscious.
He was almost completely baked. His flesh was
torn from his hands in his desperate efforts to
free himself from his prison. He remained in
an unconscious condition until his death. Car
ney was twenty-five years of age and unmarried.
