NEW YORK. THIS TIME.
THE B0XD TRAIN R0BBER OPERATES
IN THE EMPIRE STATE.
Two Masked Men Board an Express Train
Enter the Express Car, Hold up the
Messenger, sift the Packages and
Make off with the Booty.

UTICA, N. Y. Sept. 3O.-The spec
ial express train No. 81 due here at
$40 a. m. today was robbed between
here and Little Falls. The robber
brought the train to stand still, one
mile east of this city by means of the
air breaks in car. The express agent
in charge, named Moore tells the fol-
lowing brief story as the train stopped
here only a few minutes. 1t seems
that the robber bored into the front
door Of the car and got the fastenings
open and surprised Moore while
at work. He covered Moore
with a revolver and sorted over
the packages, taking such as
he supposed valuable. 1t was
not known how much was taken, but
one package of $4,000 in currency was
concealed by Moore, and was, there
fore, saved. The robber was masked.
Moore continued on the train. He has
been in the employ of the company
ten or twelve years, and there is no
proba bility that his story is other
than true.
The train ran into the Central Depot
at 800 this morning. A reporter
boarded the Car and asked Mr.. Moore
to explain the robbery. "Well, sir"
said he, 81 was never so surprised in
my life. All at once, while at work
asserting packages, as usual, near
Utica, L heard pistol shot ri CHIT in
my ears. l jumped up and right
before me stood a masked burg
lar, with the muzzle of his pis-
tol right in my face. He
had secured entrance to the car by
boring and saving hole in the front
end. | did not hear him because of
the rumbling of the train or would
have been on my guard, of course. 1t
was a complete surprise, and 1 was
dumbfounded. He assorted some
packages right before my eyes, hold
ing his revolver in one hand and do
ing the work with the other. He
seemed in hurry, and soon jumped
up, pulled the air brake cord, jumped
from the train and was lost in the
darkness quicker than it takes to
tell it,"
GLOW much money do you think he
secured?o
81 cannot tell until we look over the
bills and figure up at the office. My
impression is he did not get much.
He overlooked a package containing
$4,000 in currency, but got considerable
jewelry.n
''Do you think there is more than
one of the robbers?n
eyes, sir; there were two. One kept
his revolver pointed at me through
the hole in the carr
"Have you any idea where they got
on the train?"
probably at Albany. We stopped
there and they must have jumped on
the platform of the car and began
work shortly afterward."

THEIR SECOND DAY.
WHAT THE LIQUOR DEALERS AsSO-
CITATION DID YESTERDAY.
Their Convention and Their Day Q
Pleasure Wound Up by Jolly
Time at Scholz's Garden
Last Night.

Yesterday was the second day o
the first annual convention of the Re
tail Liquor Dealers Protective Asso
citation of Texas.
The first day they sat behind barred
doors, but yesterday the reporters OF
the papers would not have been mo-
Tested if they had gone there. They
didn't know it, though, and they
didn't go.
The STATESMAN was pretty well
informed as to what was done, how
ever. The session was one of close,
attentive business, and several pro-
found resolutions were adopted, the
most prominent of which was one au-
thorizing the appointment of COM
mlttee to wait on the next legislature
and see that they are correctly in
formed as to the status of the liquor
business and to see that the laws are
rigidly and equitably enforced, that
no man is made to pay full state
license while his neighbor engages in
the same business on the strength Of
beer license.
Attention was also called to the fact
that the state derives a third of it's
revenue from the liquor dealers, and
that fact entities them to some degree
of consideration more than they now
receive.
Gambling was also touched ON, and
resolutions condemning saloons with
gambling house attachments were
adopted.
A report was received from the
committee on good of the order, after
which Judge julius achutze delivered
an able address, pointed and charac-
teristic.
Mr.. George A. King was elected
president to succeed Mr.. X. M. Hahn,
and then the association adjourned
and the members were carried around
the. city in hacks.
They went to the dam, to the
various public institutions, through
Fairview Park and other points of in
terest.
THE BANQUET.
Last night they banqueted at
Scholz's Garden, and royal banquet
it was. Long tables were opened the
full extent of the hall, the good things
were arranged thereon and the
sprightliest, most attentive of damsels
fitted about behind the chairs looking
TO the wants of the happy guests.
The daintiest Of appetites could
nave found no flaw, me seVerest cpl
curean critics could but have praised.
Choice wines were there in abund-
ance too and the enjoyment OF all was
complete.
There was no set lot OF toasts, but
as the banquet progressed, remarks

AN UNFORTUNATE FAMILY REUNION
A Car Load Of the Olin Family Mixed in a
Railroad Wreck.

AKRON, o., Sept 3O.-Freight train
No. IS, on the New York, Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio collided with Sec
tion of passenger train No. 2, near
Kent Wednesday morning. Four
persons were killed, including the en-
gineer and fireman, and thirty were
injured. The passenger train was oc-
cupied almost entirely by members of
the DIN family going to a reunion at
Bennington, Vermont. The train
was running as the sixth section of
the east bound train No. 4. The
freight crew claim they saw no flag
on the engine of the fifth section to
intimate that another train was to
follow.
Further reports from the accident
state that road foreman of engines,
w. HI. Maxwell, and fireman Glass
were killed outright, and an old lady
named Mrs. Dewey, from Richland,
Mich, died shortly afterwards from
her injuries. In addition to that there
were about twenty-five passengers
hurt, some quite badly.

WHITE CAPS IN TEXAS.
A Band of Them is Committing 0utrages
Around Dekalb.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
DEKALB, Tex, Sept. 30.-A few
nights ago, white caps made raid
on several houses here and were met
with resistance. At James Mat
thews they had succeeded inentering,
but Mr.. Matthews returning home
fought them off with his knife, but
nothing much was thought about the
matter. Last night while DR.. f. j..
Mckinney, was returning from
the Garland settlement ON horse
back he was overtaken by
masked men on horses who ordered
him to shell out which he promptly
did, not being armed and noticing the
two men were well armed. He en-
tied his pockets and handed over his
gold watch, when they commanded
him to dismount and give them his
horse, but the doctor pleaded with
them to spare him the horse which
they finally decided to do and rode
away.
Our citizens are considerable excited
over this business and have all decid-
ed to carry revolvers, when out after
dark and try to bring in some of this
game.

Doctors Entertained.

Last night being the regular meet
ing of the Travis County Medical So
ciety, they met by invitation at the
State Lunatic asylum. An interest
ing paper was read by DR.. w. E.
Shelton, and after the regular bust
ness was dispensed with DIR. Reeves
invited the members out for an ele-
giant banquet spread for the occasion,
and it goes without saying "the Aus
tin doctor' was equal to it. A vote
of thanks was tondeIed the ladies,
and Drs. Reeves, Worsham and Max
well for their many inequalities, and
the occasion is one long to be remem-
bered by those present.

Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
SAN DIEGO, Tex, Sept. 3O.-The
government rainfall expedition is
having a very wet time Of it lately
and without any effort on their part
but once. They went to the sea coast
from FL Paso. They have been car

the clouds to roll by. 1t has rained
every day in the usual dry season
around Corpus Christi, and the ex-
periments near that city have been
given up. The people need rain here,
fiftv-three miles southwest of Corpus
Christi. The experimenters have
come here to bring it big. A test will

LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND.
A Young German Immigrant Who Must
Marry, Get Guardian or Return.

New YORK, Oct. IA few days
ago among number of immigrants
who landed at this port was Lima
Dohbert, good looking 18-year-old
German girl. She was denied the
privilege Of landing unless she could
find husband or guardian in this
country. A friend of hers, Carl Won
Hoff, of Milwaukee, was communicate
ed with, and in o few days he was
heard from. He swore before a notary
and forwarded the document to New
York that he was willing to marry
Lima, provided he could do so by
proxy; that his business in Milwau.
kee was such that he could not spare
the time, and then appointed the
superintendent of immigration to
select a proxy for him.
The superintendent is sorry. but
thinks such affairs are out of his line
and is afraid that he will have to send
the fair Lima back to the old country.

STARTING EARLY IN LIFE.
A Boy of Denver Runs Off With Pile Of
Money but is Caught in Denison.

Special to The Statesman.
DENIsoN, Tex, Sept. 3O.-For sew
eral days past a ragged, dirty boy
has attracted considerable attention
on the street by displaying big rolls
of money at times. A railroad man
took the boy in charge while under
the influence of intoxicants which
some boys had given him and sue
ceeded in getting the boy to give his
name, which is Willie HOtchner. In
vestigation revealed the fact that his
father, who resides at Denver, Col,
was in Dallas searching for Willie,
and, upon notification, came to this
city this evening and took the lad in
charge. Mr.. Hotchner stated that the
lad had stolen $2350 and started out,
unknown to everybody, for Texas.
Willie had all but $50 of the stolen
money in his possession. Father and
son left for Denver tonight.

mat obstacle was obviated by the
suggestion that he need not name her
at all. He left, promising to return at
+ p. H., the hour fixed for the funeral.
He did not return.
AT B p. m. several friends of the d e.
ceased waited upon Rev. DR.. Will
lams, rector of Christ Episcopal
church, just opposite. In response to
the request that he otficiate, he re-
Piled that his church ordinance for
babe. He said he knew the lady.
that she had attended his church, and
he saw much to admire in her, but he
would not even read the burial SER
vice over her body.
Finally Mr., Osborne, a Methodist
minister who has been, so he phrased
it, Gin the service Of Christi for forty-
five years, was seen, and he readily
consented to perform the burial SER
vice.
In examining the room of the de-
ceased, a sealed envelope was found
bearing the inscription: "Last Will
and Testament Of Marie Kramer
Wolff" When opened it disclosed a
sheet OF paper on which was written,
in firm hand, the following:
WASHINGTON, Sept. Ill, Marie
Kramer, leave everything in my pos
session to my mother, Christina Kra-
mer, Paul Wolff to pay all expenses
of funeral and house.
MARIE KRAMER (WoLFF.)
This was conclusive evidence as to
premeditated suicide and put an end
to all.theories that.she unintentionally
took an overdose of laudanum in en-
deavoring to relieve nervousness.
Wolff has an aunt in Baltimore,
with whom he correspondent and to
whom he recently sent photograph
of himself. 1t turns out that the
father of his first and lawful spouse
has grown rich within the last 10
years and that he has been offering
Wolff pecuniary inducements to re-
turn to his wife.

rine Felb, a young married lady of
this place, committed suicide in a
rather sensational manner. She

lighted it and ran into the street a
pillar Of flames. The flames were ex-
tinguished by passers-by and she was
taken to the hospital where she soon
died She had recently had quar-.
rel with her husband and had re-
turned to her father's house TO live.
1t is believed that she committed the
rash act because her pet pug had been
killed and its collar sent TO her by her
husband, as she thought.

charge of bigamy. Nine years ago he

long time he was morose,
but finally took up his life where he
had dropped it. Two years ago he
heard that his false wife was dead
and believed it. A little while ago
he remarked, and a week since his
former wife made her appearance in
Floresville, the county seat, intending
to sue for a divorce. When she learn
ed that Bravo had cOnsoled himself,
all the jealousy of her passionate tenn
permanent was aroused and she made
affidavit against him for bigamy.
Bravo now stands chance to go to
the penitentiary.
