Des Moines, To-, Oct, Is. There
was an exciting scene in the state con-
vention of the Women's Christian
Temperance Uuion to-day when the
committee On credentials submitted
its report. As soon as the report was
read many ladies arose simultaneously
and addressed the chair. Some
wanted to tell what their grievances
were and others asked questions as to
what they would do if the committee
reported tnfavorably. Mrs. Foster
exercised her authority and kept fair
order. She sid that the convention

was matter not to be discussed in

been counted out aud several other
ladies ventured to notify the ccnven-
ton of similar action OIL the part OF
this credential comm ttee. The chair

made concerning the intent of the
m zion before the house, vote was
taken with affirmative result and the

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

Kansas City, Oct. 16.-[Special.
Last evening at 1886 o'clock one Of
the boldest robberies that has ever
been committed in this city and the
first of The kind. occurred at the Mis-
souri, and Kansas state line on Mis-
souri, Pacific passenger train No. 1,
bound for Omaha. Three men en-.
tered chair Car and relieved at the
point of revolvers, the passengers of
all their money.
The robbers entered the front door
of the coach unmarked. There is a
rumor that a wealthy stockman living
nesr Nebraska City, Neb., was
aboard the train and relieved OF
81 300.
The Missouri Pacific officials are
reticent about the robbery. The po-
lice have been working on the case to-
day but so far nothing has been
learned of the whereabouts of the
robbers. Detective Tut, of
the Missouri Pacific Sc
cret Service arrived from st Louis
This morning and is making an inves-
ligatiou.
}. w. McClain and J. w. Howard,
both of Nebraska and the latter of
Nebraska City, were ordered to give
up what money they had. at the same
time all three robbers pointed
revolvers at their heads. McClsin
had a railroad ticket and
three dollars in money. The money
was taken and the ticket returned to
him, Howard had s23 in his pocket
book which he was forced to part
with. Two or three other persons
were "touched" but it is not known
how much money vas taken from
them.
The robbers escaped at this
juncture the train began to move and
the robbers made their exit through
the rear door of the coach, first com.
handing the occupants to remain
seated and give no alarm under pen
atty of being shot.

Preliminary Examination of To-
hertz at BO0nville.

Boonville, Mo-, October 16.-The
preliminary examination of the men
charged with the Otterville train rob-
berry was to have taken place here
Yesterday. Tn re was an unusual
proceeding in the case, owing to the
fact that the detectives who were
working on the csc followed two
different clews. The result is that
Detective Dickey had one William
Cohertz arrested and declares that he
is one of the robbers. Detectives
Tut and belong had Huffman and
Hines arrested, who they assert are
the robbers, and al of the detectives
agree that Cohertz has nothing to do
with Huffman and Hines. There is
no possibility that both clews are cor
rect. When the case of Huffman
and Hines was called yesterday they
announced not ready for a hearing
Their case was continued
until the 25th of this month.
Upon calling the case of Cohertz
both parties announced ready. De-
tective Dickey had some II or l5 wit
nesses for the prosecution, and the
defendant had none. All day was
consumed in the taking of testimony,
Bnd damaging evidence was presented,
some of the witnesses recognizing N
the defendant the person seen in the
vicinity of the robbery on the next
morning. During the preliminary
examination the prosecuting attorney
stated to the court that he had just
learned from a reliable party that
Cohertz, while confined in Jail at Cal
ifornia, he confessed to fellow prisoner
and told him where the stolen jewelry
taken from the car was hid, and his
confdant had the jewelry and that il
the case was continued they would be
able to present this testimony.
The Justice continued the hearing
for 10 days. The impression seems
to be now that Detective Dies ey, Who
had been working upon the case OF
Cohertz, has the guilty party, and
that the others have a false clew.
Detective Dickey stated to day that
he had the right party, and when the
hearing took place there could be nc
question as to showing the defendant's
guilt.
