WORK OF TRAIN ROBBERS.

They Kill an Engineer, but Fail to Sc
cure Any Plunder-The Affair Oc-
ours Near Van Vert, o.
VAN VERT, O., July 30.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made late Friday
night to rob the north bound passenger
train on the Cincinnati, jackson q
Michigan railroad. Three men board
ed the engine Of the train at Enterprise,
O., and attacked the engineer, Vande-
vender, and his assistant with iron bars
and coupling pins. The trainmen made
plucky fight, but were finally over
powdered and knocked senseless. The
robbers, however, did not succeed in
stopping the train, and just before
reaching Van Vert made their escape.
The train rushed on with the engineer
and fireman lying bleeding and uncon-
scious In the cab.
Passengers who were waiting for the
train at Van Vert were astonished to
see it going through the station at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour and
with apparently nobody on the engine
to guide 1t. At the north end of the
yard the train ran into switch engine
and was brought to q standstill, both
engines being wrecked. Engineer Van
devender was found dead in the wreck.
The fireman is still unconscious, and no
particulars can be learned from him.
None of the passengers were seriously
injured.

Mercenary Move Of the
White House Family.
The Nations President Uses
His Official Position
FOR A NICE CONSIDERATION TO
FURTHER A BIG REAL
ESTATE DEAL.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-President
Harrison and all the members of his
official family at the White House have
been caught in the most fragrant job
bing scheme that has ever disgraced an
occupant of the executive mansion.
About three weeks ago q tract or
land on the Potomac known as Glen
Echo Heights was placed on the mar
ket and the fever of speculation seems
to have taken the occupants OF the
White House by storm.
Deeds have been filed transferring
the lots from the owner to the follow
ing persons: Carolina Scott Harrison,
wife of the President, lots valued at
$27, 900; John w. Scott, the Presidents
father-in-law, $27 800; Mary Scott Dim
mick, the Presidents sister-in-law,
So, 1884; William H. Crook, the Presi-
dents chief executive clerk, So, 400;
Mrs. Mary Harrison Mckee, the Presi-
dents daughter, $4,000; E. ]. Halford,
the Presidents private secretay, 81 800;
Alice B. Sangress, the Presidents type
writeress, $500.
The most remarkable thing about 1t
all is that the consideration named In
the deeds for the two tracts purchased
by Mrs. Harrison and her father is one
dollar, although the property is esti-
mated to be worth over $50. 600.
No deeds are recorded in President
Harrison's name, but 1t is his influence
that is wanted, and the members OF his
family have been let in on the ground
floor and 500, 900 worth of property has
been given to his wife and father-in-
law for the nominal consideration OF
one dollar.
| It will be remembered that Mrs Har.
rison, in an interview defending the
acceptance of the gift of q cottage al
Cane Nav two weeks ago, made con
temptible fling at ex-President Cleve
land for purchasing q home at Oak
view, and said that "Mr. Harrison
would not use his official rank as
means of making money, even to the
extent of purchasing q home for sum
mer use and selling it when he retire'
from ofIice.n
| Yet, at the time this interview wa
had, the first lady of the land had em

War Between Guatemala and San
saivador-It WnI Probably Lead
to Complications.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 2I,-The long
threatened war has broken out between
Guatemala and San Salvador, accord
ing to official advices received by the
confidential agent of the provisional
government of San Salvador, Senior
Geronimo Pou, who arrived here Sat-
unday night from San Salvador. It
began without the usual formalities of
q declaration of war, and for his coun-
Try Senior Pou claims first victory.
Senor Pou then exhibited the following
telegram from Gen. Ezeta:
July 1S.-The enemy, 5000 strong,
yesterday invaded San Salvador, but
our forces bravely repulsed them, eaus-
ing their complete route. Many pieces
OF artillery, large quantities of ammuni-
ton and hundreds of stacks of arms
were captured by us. have given or
ders to advance into Guatamala.n
Senor Pou says the Salvador army is
armed with Remington rifles, machine
guns and mountain batteries, and is
well equipped with plenty of money.
The Salvadorian forces are inferior
to those Of Guatemala, but Senior Pou
says that he has received advices that
disaffection has occurred in the army of
Guatemala, and two bataIlions have re-
FUSED to proceed to the frontier, which.
he thinks, will have the effect of equal
izing matters. Gen. Ezeta is T. conn
manding the movements of the Saliva
dor forces.
Minister Diegnez, of Guatemala and
San Salvador, says that the only dis
catches received are from points in San
Salvador where 1t is known that press
censorship is In force. '.Our forces are
well armed with Remington rifles,
Gatling guns and mountain batteries.
and II San Salvador has $4,000 men
in the field, we have nearly double
that number. While it is true we
have no big fund in the treasury, every
body in the country will come to the
front with money in case there be war;
1t is the general opinion here that in
case there be war between Guatemala
and San Salvador, the first named coun-
try will be victorious owing to its SUI
perior forces. M
To-day will beyond question de-
velop the exact condition Of affairs in
Central America, as by treaty between
Mexico and Guatemala each govern
nent may use any lines belonging to
either country for official business free
of charge.
1t is rumored that President Barilias
of Guatemala talks Of resigning. Gen.
Barrudia, the Guatemalan refugee, has
left Oaxaca to take part in the war.
He will probably raise the standard OF
revolt in Guatamala.

MILKED BY A SNAKE.
How Huge Black Serpent Robbed a
Cow Daily Of her Milk.

CINCINNATI, July 15.-Mr. A. Hess
is the owner of an extensive dairy near
Epworth flights, on the Miami river.
For several evenings, when the cows
were driven into the stables from the
pasture, it was noticed that one of them
never gave any milk. Her bag was per-
fectly empty, just as if she had been
MIXED by some one. The popularity
was noticed for several days. Last
night, In order to ascertain, If possible,
what was the cause, the cow, returning
home dry, the herd was driven into the
stables somewhat earlier than the usual
hour. When they were approaching
the yards huge black-snake was seen
dragging itself after the cow. Eager to
see what would develope, it was unmo-
Tested. The COW went to her accustomed
stall in the stable, where the serpent
followed her, ard when in the stable
wound itself about her hind leg and
sucked each teat until all the milk had
been drawn from the animals bag. 1t
then unwound itself and started to
crawl away, when it was killed. 1t was
found to be seven feet in length.

China May Retaliate.

An account of an interview held
about a year ago with Iii Hung Chang,
China's greatest statesman, which has
Just been published, quotes Mr.. Chang
as saying: II wish you would say for
me, through your newspaper. to the
American people, that if it (the Chi
nese Exclusion act) be not repealed, |
shall certainly advise our government
to exclude Americans from China, and
I think we will be fully justified in
such an action" Minister Ii Hung
Chang is the most powerful and infu-.
entail man in China, and q man Of
such rare diplomatic ability that some
of those who know him rank him with
Gladstone and Bismark. These words
contain a serious warning. China is q
great nation having q civilization and
q literature that dates back many CEN
turies before the commencement OF the
Christian era, and continued disre-
gard of her claims to be treated with
Justice and respect cannot but tell
against our own interests in the long
run. The time will surely come when

are even now thousands of American
families-irrespective of missionaries
who live in China in the trading ports
and at certain of the inland cities on
the Yangtse River; who might be driv-
en- out of China with as little consider

Chinese at New York, Denver and San
Francisco. We could hardly blame
China If she emphasized her chagrin
over the treatment of her people in our
land by following the example set her
by this Christian (?) nation. The Chi
nese, taken as class, are the least
troublesome of all foreigners who come
to our shores. The writer has lived In

The Cost of II.

The enforcement of such law as the
proposed Federal elections law will sad
die upon the country an expense vari-
ously estimated at from 10000, 900 to
to $15, 200, 900 for every election that Ia
held. It will cost million and a half
dollars for chief supervisors, six million
or more for supervisors, four or five mill
lions for deputy marshals.
Are the people, in the present condi-
tion of the national finances, and in the
depressed financial conditions that
they themselves are in, prepared to
spend this much money for q mere par
tisan luxury? Are members who sup
port this shameful bill and who are
pooh pooling its cost on the floor
of the House, prepared to answer to
their constituents for the imposition
upon them Of this new and needless
burden?
Is this the sort of educational bill
that they would substitute for the
Blair bill that they have laughed out
of court?
Are they ready to proclaim upon the
stump this fall that $l5,000,000 spent
every two years on an army of politi'
cal supernumeraries will produce bet
ter fruit then the amount spent in
school houses and school books or or
works of necessary public improve
ments?
Have members heard from the coun
try yet on this point?
| Are they afraid to wait to hear from
the country that they would rusl
through their extravagant and prepos
ferrous legislation in such unseeml.
haste?
i Do they expect that the people will
be as easily bulldozed into accepting
this bill as they themselves are in pass
ing it? These are too serious question
to be put off without answer until tn
day Of reckoning, when answer will b
of no avail. The member who is wis
