Description Of ihe Tcn.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 1.-The law.
abiding and peaceable citizens Of ono oJ
the most pcpulous and enlightened por.
lions Of Ohio will bo astoni, hCd TO know
that this morning daring aud succtss.
full express robbery was con- mitted In
their midst, such as would net be re-.
garded as unusual or unlikely IN the
wilds Of Texas, Between three and four
o'clock this morning, just after the
north bound.train Oh tho Cincinnati',
Sandusky & Cleveland road had left Ur.
bana, two masked robbera entered the
Adams Express car and, with drawn re.
rolYes, compelled Messenger A. L.
Scudder TO deliver the contents OF his
safe. The robbers wers able to co mplete
their work and to barely leave tho train
with their booty at Belleiontaine. The
methods uaed are not divulgcd in The
brief dispatches received here BY tho
Adams Express officials, nor is it posi-.
BILE for some time to tell how much was
in the safe. The impression here is
that the amount was comparatively
small, but 1t would be possible fora cou.
siderable sum Of bank funds to have !
been in the booty.
The portion OF the country which tho !
robbery occurred is as unlikely 10 sug.
gest Euch Il crime as could be found. J
The robbers evidently arc not natives.
Messenger Scuddcr gave the following
facts:
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Immediately after the train left Gr-
bana two men with masks over their
faces and rerolTe,s in their hands en-
tered the car and ordered him to throw
up his hands. Being taken by surprise
he obeyed orders. The robbcu, then
tied the messenger securely to a chair
aud proceeded to rob the safe OF its con.
tents, taking money and jcwelry pack
ages and dumping them into sack car.
ried by one OF the masked men. How
much money aud the amount OF othe
valuables they obtained tho messenger
could not tell, but the loss will reach
several thousand dollars. The robbers
also took the envelopes containing the
pay for agents OF the company
along the line. While the robbers were
engaged in this work 4 brakeman ut.
tempted to enter the car, but was met
with shot from one OF the men and
beat hssty retreat. The conductor and
other trainmen wero thus app.ised Of
what wcs going on.
The engineer slowed up the train to
allow the trainmen to capture the rob
bers, but this WAS IN opportunity which
the thieves were not STOW to embrace
and they jumped from the car with
their booty Just as the town OF West
Liberty was reached and Disappeared in
ihe darkness, An attempt was made to
follow them, but they got away.
The affair created great ezci.emeRt
when the facts were made known, and
citizens and officers are making VI gor-
ous search for the robbers.

Receipts Of Live Stock at the Union
Stock Yards for "A Hours-145 Cattle,
6o7 hogs, and for the week just closed
$40 cattle, 4,2o7 hogs. Receipts of
cattle fall a little short Of last week
but hogs show a gain of All head. The
market on good cattle has been steady
to strong during the entire week and a
very satisfactory business has been
done. Many more good fat cattle would
have found good market and quick
sales. The demand for stockers and
feeding cattle prevails and they are
selling at strong prices. The market
during the entire week has been an
advancing one, and today the bulk Of
the hogs sold at $500; and unless the
receipts in eastern markets show a
decided increase the early part Of the
week, prices will 60 higher. The mar
ket closed strong.

has been one of the most satisfactory in
the history of this market The receipts
of cattle have been liberal. Prices have
ruled strong on fat cattle stockers and
loo b,,x no
hard 20 move the stock at good prices
Shippers have all been pleased with re-
suits Our cattle market Is improving
daily and Is attracting the attention of
eastern packers, commission men and
spectators. Some of them already have
buyers on this market, There is strong
feeling on good fat cattle, stockers and
feeders and prospects look bright for good
prices for next week. All the good cattle
that come here get quick sales at good
prices. Stockers and feeders have been
one of the strong features in this weeks
market. One buyer from Carthage. No.
has been here several days buying that
class of cattle. He has already purchased
about $50 and wants fully 800 before max
ing his first shipment
New>shippers and buyers are coming to
this market daily. and many Of them are
surprised at the amount of business now
being done at the stock yards.
The hog market shows - heavy advance
during the week, being - cents higher
than last Saturday. 1t would seem as
though there was good money in hogs at
present prices, fatted on l!]s cent corn.
Receipts during the week have been run
ming light in the eastern markets and they
have advanced prices rapidly as fee!er,
but thus far il has failed TO show any in
crease in the offerings, and unless Tuesday
of next week shall show marked increase
in the number of hogs at Chicago and
Kansas City prices viii probably SO con-
siderable higher.
