VIENNA, june - Brigands derailed the

Several German and English tourists, in
Guiding a German banker, were captured.
The brigands demanded ransom of eS,000
for the prisoners. The latter sent word to
the German ambassador at Constantinople,

The other passengers, not tourists, were
plundered, but not carried of
The place where the act Of brigandage
occurred lies between Constantinople aud
Adrianople. The band which made the
attack on the train numbered thirty men,
led by the noted robber Anastasius. The
brigands first seized the watchman on duty
at the railroad station, and when they had
prevented him from giving an alarm they
set 30 work and tore up the rails for some
distance They set no warning signal for
the engineer Of the train, but allowed the
cars TO dash on to possible destruction.

| luckily, did not follow the other part of
the train, but remained safely on the road.
When the train was thus disabled, the
brigands rushed forward, uttering loud
yells, brandishing their guns in most
threatening manner, and boarded the cars.
Several Of the passengers resisted the att
tack made on them by the brigands, who
replied with a volley from their guns, and
dangerously wounded one of the men who
sought to repulse them. The outlaws
finally overcame the occupants OF the cars
and proceeded to plunder them, stripping
the travellers Of al their valuables and
looting their baggage When the brigands
ended their work Of robbery they seized
four Of the passengers in the first class
cars and also the engineer Of the train and
then started with their captives for THEN
rendezvous in the mountains. The men
carried away by the outlaws were:
