A BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.
The Express Car Door Blown Open with
Dynamite.

San ANTONIO, Texas, Sept. Six
men stopped train No. 1 on the South
ern Pacific Railway at 3 :25 o'clock this
morning and held it until ) o'clock
twenty miles west Of Langtry and one
mile from a sidetrack called Samuels,
which is about twelve miles from the
Rio Grande.
The train left this city yesterday
afternoon for the west at $40 o'clock.
The passengers were unmolested, as
the men seemed to want only the con
tents Of the express car and Of the mail
bags. They got all the money in the
express car, which was a very small
sum, as there is never a large amount
carried west. They also took one
registered package, two empty mail
bags, and the mail which was made up
for Dryden pOstoffice. After they had
gotten what they could from the mail
and express cars, they returned the
money which they had taken from the
mail clerk and express messenger and
left the train. The railroad company
has offered $3.50 reward for the CAPTURE
of each man. The express company
will give a reward Of about 81. 900 for
each n captured, and besides this the
government offers a standing reward
Of about $500 for every train rObcer,
making the amount offered for each
rObber about 81, $50.

ASSOCIATED PRESS RUPTURE.
The sun and Tribune withdraw From the
New York Agreement.

CHICAGO, Oct 2l.-The report OF the
disagreement in the New York Associ-
ated press, which resulted in the Sun
and Tribune withdrawing from that
association and organizing a new one,
of which they are to be the principal
r.ienbers, accustomed quite n stir In
newspaper circles all over the coun-
try. The intimate relations existing
between the New York Associated
press and the Western Associated press
caused many to fear that the quarrel in
the former organization might In some
way affect the latter, but the president
and executive committee of the West
ern Associated press, who were all In
Chicago yesterday, assured all corners
that the service of the organization
would be in no wise impaired.
For eight years, up to the present
rupture In the New York association,
the business of the two organizations
has been under the management of a
! joint committee composed of Charles
A. Dana, Whitelaw Reid and James
Gordon Bennett. on the part Of the
New York Associated press, and Rich
ard Smith and w. II. Haldeman, on the
part of the Western Associated press
Messrs. Reid and Dana having taken
their papers out of the New York asso
citation of course takes them neces'
sarily out OF this joint committee. Blu
the New York Associated press remain
intact and 1t is only necessary to reor
ganize the joint committee. JudginI
by the conversation Of the members o
the executive committee OF the West
ern Associated press there will prob
ably be no difficulty in doing this I
the satisfaction of all concerned, an
as the newspapers remaining in tn
New York association are all wealth
concerns, it is hardly probable tina
there will be any serious trouble.

QUEEN OF THE TURF.

Maud =. Yields the Laurels to sunoi. Who
lakes the FASTEST Time on Record.
STOCKTON, Cal, Oct 2L.-Sunol broke
the worlds trotting record on the
Stockton track yesterday, making a
mile In 2;Osi4, beating Maud SIS time
half a second. IL was n fast mile from
the start and the mare finished strong.
After warming her up in three miles
jogging and rubbing down, Marvin
came out Mt 3 o'clock to go against the
record. At the first attempt he nodded
for the word and the great trotter
started. The runner was waiting at
the half for her. She went the first
quarter in Sts4, half in 1904 fiat, three
quarters in 1887 and came home strong
and scored in 2:OsA. There were six
timers and every watch was the same.
Maud S. made her record of 2:0Sx on
the Cleveland track July 30, 1888, and
since that day Robert Bonner's trim
bit of horse flesh has been queen OF
the turf. Year after year horsemen
have aimed to equal her work, but not
until this season was there anything
on the trotting turf capable of APP
proaching it. This year, however, II
was in danger from two quarters
Sunol and Nancy Hanks, both mares
