and St Joseph passengers on the Mis-
souri, Pacific train, which left Omaha
at 1890 last night were treated to an
old fashioned train robbery at West
Side, a suburb, at IL o'clock.
Four masked men took charge of the
train when it stopped at the station.
One covered the engineer and fireman
with a Winchester, while the Others
proceeded to plumber the train.
With drawn revolvers the men ap-
preached the coaches and ordered the
passengers to throw up their hands but
at the door they retreated and attacked
the mail car.
BY threatening to blow open the
door with dynamite the express mes
senger was induced to admit the rob
bers and the car was plundered.

SEVENTEEN MINERS KILLED.
shocking Disaster at the Anaconda BIine,
Mont.


BUTTE CITY, Mont, Nov Sat the
Anaconda mine last night seventeen
miners were instantly killed and two
fatally injured.
Midnight, the time to shift the gangs
of men, had come, and a cage full of
miners returning from work stepped
out into the open air. Their places
were taken by nineteen men who were
to take up the work they had just aban-
doned, and the cage was started to-
ward the depths below. The rope had
been unwound but a couple of times
from the slowly-revolving windlass
when there was a sudden snap and a
cry of horror from the shaft in which
the cage had but moment before dis
appeared. The rope had broken and
the cage with its nineteen inmates
was precipitated to the bottom of the
mine.
1t was some time before any assist
ance could be lent. The shaft down
useless to try to descend and other
ways of getting at the place
where they had fallen were round
about. Fortunately there was some
help for the dead and dying
in the mine itself A number of
miners who were through work and
waiting to be relieved were at the bot
tom of the shaft waiting for the cage
to take them out. Among them, mar
rowly missing some, the cage dashed.
1t broke and before their eyes were
whom they were awaiting.
OF the nineteen men who made the
fearful ride, seventeen were dead, their
forms crushed out of all semblance to
human beings, while the two who were
yet breathing had no hopes of re-
covery.
The Anaconda is the biggest mine in
the territory. 1t employs 400 men and

Kentucky's Constitution Sustained.

Judge Montfort, of the Franklin (ky.)
circuit, has rendered decision in the
suit brought by eX-Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue Walter Evans to enjOin
the printing of the new constitution.
Evans claims that the revision of the
constitution by the convention after
the vote by the people was improper
and rendered the new instrument void.
Judge Montfort holds that Evans and
Miller the plaintiffs, can not properly
sue where the whole people are inter
ested. and says the only way the revised
constitution can be set aside is by an
other convention elected by the people.
The case will go to the court of ap-
peals.

The lower part of Monroe county,
Ala, is stirred up over 4 sensational
elopement. \ Young man named Sayer
went with his bride of three weeks to
board with a man named Devise, whose
wife was the mother of five children.
Sayer and Mrs. Devise at once formed
a mutual attachment, which was uu-
suspected, until the other day Saycr
said, jolingly, to Devise: Il declare
I'll run off with your wife" "Ail
right" Devise answered. If she wants
to go with you" Sayer went off and
soon came back on horseback. He
called to Mrs. Devise, who went and
got up behind him. where are you
goingr" shouted Devise, who at this
time appeared in the doorway with
Savers young wife, The only response
was derisive laugh from Saycr as the
horse went off in a sweeping run.

The East aud West Farmers Club Picnic,

The East and West Farmers Club Picnic.
The various sounds, punctuated by
great bursts of silence, noticed by the
people of this vicinity last Thursday
was not, as many supposed, caused by
the transfer of the Toledo d So. Haven
railroad to the West Michigan, but was
the annual picnic of the East and West
Farmers Club, held at Ed. Wildey's
landing on Three-Mile lake, and It is
safe To say that Robin Hood and his
"merry men" never enjoyed their feasts
of fallOw deer i'm Sherwood forest to a
greater degree than did this Club the
barbecued pigs under the giant oaks of
Wildey's woods.
The corps of walters was efficient and
consisted of all the gentlemen of the
club. They were attired in costume
appropriate to the occasion. Edison
Woodlands sylph-like form was deco
rated with finch square opera flannel
apron, cut low in the neck and trimmed
with knife pleating. Ed. Thayer wore
his usual seven-pound smile somewhat
frayed around the edges trimmed with
a heavy ruching OF roast pig, put on
bias The colossal figure of Milt. Coy
was noticeable as he moved with his
billowy tread, attired in "a pink Twin
dow sash, cut pompadour There were
many other tasty toilets, but the fact
that it was full dress picnic and that
the space we are allowed to occupy is
limited, precludes further description.
After the ladies had dined, the wait
ers fell to with great alacrity, and with
such feeders as AL. Harwick and M. j.
Coy to cut out the gait, it is needless TO
say that the battle was short, sharp
and decisive"
A bath was suggested as relief to
those who were suffering from distended
stomachs, and the gentlemen of the par
ty repaired to the opposite side of the
lake and proceeded to soak their cuti
Gle. Some alarm was caused on the side
where the ladies were by what was sup
posed to be a tidal wave, but the phe-
nomenon was explained when it was
learned that Dan Morrison had dropped
both feet into the lake ut once. After
being snapped by kodak, the party
re-ioined the ladies and the program
was proceeded with.
The toast "a Husband and his duties"
was responded to by two young ladies
in an eloquent and comprehensive man.
ner; but when the toast "Who shall put
out the light?" was given, and was re-
sponded to by the ladies in concert, the
waters were agitated and the wild fowl
left the lake.
One of the features of the day was
the closing song by the ladies, with
Edna Wilson handling the baton, dur
ing the rendition of which the silence
was so dense one could have bored
holes in it, but the greatest feature was
Charley Butler, wearing red-headed
baby on his left arm his face beaming
with satisfaction and the character lines
touched up with sandwiches
and black berry jam.
The affair wound up with bonfire,
in which the superannuated eggs, bone
less liver, animated cheese and other
deicacies left over from the feast were
cremated, and every one went home
vowing the picnic to have been a
whooping, bowling, North American
success.

Cats Enjoy Fun.

The sportiveness of kittens is exuber-
ant andsnakes them the most delightful
of pets. Lindsay's remark is superfluous,
except that it has to be made for the
formal completeness of his treatise that
dogs and cats take part in the fun and
frolic-sometimes rough and boisterous
enough-of their child playfellows. They
give every evidence, in fact, that such
fun and frolic are the most enjoyed
features of that period of their lives. AS
the animal natures it becomes more
sedate, and even assumes a meditative
air, but the taste for sport does not die
out till infirmity begins to wear upon it.
A cat mentioned in The Animal
World would allow itself to be rolled up
or swung about in a tablecloth, and
seemed to enjoy the fun, and Wood s
dignified Pusset would let his friends do
anything they pleased with him-lift
him up by any part of the body, toss
him In the air from one to another, use
him as a footstool, boa or pillow, make
him jump over their hands or leap on
their shoulders, or walk along their ex-
tended arms with perfect complacency.
At the same time he was keenly sens-
tive to ridicule, and if laughed at would
walk off with every manifestation of Of
Tended dignity.-W. II. Larrabee in
Popular Science.

CAME BACK AFTER DEATH.
Here's Ghost That Evidently Liked
Work Connected with u Drug Store.

Here's n Ghost That Evidently Liked
Work Connected with Drug Store.
A curious thing is said to have hap
pened at Crossen, Siiesia, in the year
1859. In the spring of that year one
Christopher Monigh, drug clerk Tan
apothecary's servant, as the old account
says), died and was buried with the
usual services of his church. A few
days after his death a shadow exactly
like his in face. clothes. stature. mein,
ETC., appeared in the drug shop where he
had been employed before his decease.
In the shop he would walk about, sit
himself down. take boxes, pots, glasses,
etc., from the shelves, always returning
them to their exact places.
Later ON he began to try the quality of
the medicines and to weigh various drug
stuffs in a pair of scales used for that
purpose; would pound drugs in mortar
with ''mightie noise" and even serve
people who came on business to the shop;
in a word do all that servant in such
a capacity could do. He looked very
CHASTITY upon those who had formerly
been his fellow servants. they being
afraid to say anything to him. The
owner of the drug shop was sick at the
time, and this phantom servant soon
performing all sorts of tricks on the in
valid, such as pulling down the bed upon
which he lay, burning sheets, coverlets,
ETC., and at one time even going so far
as to throw the lamps in the fire as often
as they were brought into the sick room.
During all this time he had never been
seen in the streets or heard to speak.
Finally, one day he put on a cloak that
hung in the shop and walked out into
the streets, minding no one and turning
neither TO the right nor to the left.
Nearing the churchyard where his
mortal remains had been deposited, he
met a maid servant with whom he had
formerly been on speaking terms; &C
costed her, only to see her fall in
swoon. This single Instance is the
only one in which he is said to have
spoken during the six weeks he was ter
rorizing all that portion of Silesia
When the girl tainted the gallant
phantom essayed to help her to her feet,
and placed in her hand "a paper written
in blood red ink telling the location Of
much buried treasure. That night Prin-
cess Elizabeth Charlotte, the then chief
magistrate of Crossen, determined to
put an end to the ghostly raids of the
drug clerk She ordered the grave
opened, and the corpse, grave clothes
and the coffin burned.
This weird proceeding was carried out
to the letter, and nothing of the ghost
clerk was ever seen afterward, although
exact pictures of him appeared in every
window pane in the drug shop building.
Some of these pictures, which much re-
sembled sand blast work, faded in few
months, but two of them, in an attic
window where the clerk lived prior to
his death, were plain to be seen up to
the time the building was destroyed by
fire in 1741. No explanation of these
shadows has ever been
given.-St. Louis Republic.

A Monstrous Tide.

The Bay of Fundy forms a cul-de-sac
at which the Atlantic ocean seems to
have taken special spite, and at regu-
lar intervals pours into it an enormous
amount OF water. Take the harbor of
St Johns as an illustration of what this
mighty tide must be. In most parts of
the world tide of ten feet is considered
something abnormal, but at st. Johns IL
rises twenty to twenty-four feet in good
weather. In stormy weather the mo-
notony is varied by the high water
mark being pushed up even ten or fl
teen feet higher.-St. Louis Republic.
