was robbed between here and Little Falls. The
robbers brought the train to staudstill mile
east of this city by applying the air brakes by
means of a valve in the car, and they then
escaped in the darkness. The express agent in
charge OF the car was b. A. Moore.
To reporter Mr.. Moore said describing the
robbery: well, sir, / was never surprised
In my life. All at once while at work asserting
packages, as usual near Utica, heard pistol
shot right in my ears. jumped up, and right
before me stood a burglar with the muzzle of
his revolver in my face. He secured an en-
trance into, the car by boring and saving a

or would have been on guard, of course. But
1t was a complete surprise and l was dumb
founded. He assorted some of the packages
right before my eyes, holding his revolver in
one hand and doing the work with the other.
He seemed in a hurry and soon jumped up,
pulled the airbrake core, jumped from the train
and was lost in the darkness quicker than it
takes to tell it,
'How much money do you think he secured?''
81 can't tell until we look over the bills and
figure up at the Office. My impression is that
he did not get much. He overlooked package
containing 5000 in currency, but got consid-
able jewelry."
"Do you think there was more than one Of
the robbers?'
Yes, sir; there were two. One kept his re-
volver pointed at me through the hole in the
car"
Moore continued on the train. He has been
in the employ Of the company ten or twelve
years, and there is no probability that his story
is other than a true one.

SENSATION IN PARIS.

The Suicide Of BOulanger the Only Topic on
the BOulevats.
PARIS, Sept 30.-The suicide Of Gen. Bou-
LANCER has caused an enormous sensation in
this city-so much so that the evening newspa-
pers are unable to meet the demand made upon
them. Nothing else is talked of along
the boulevards. in the hotels and cafes,
in the clubs and everywhere else the
members of the Patriotic League are talking
Of public funeral for the general, and they
propose to inter his remains in France. 1t is
believed that such action upon the part Of the
league will lead to serious disturbances.
The romantic manner in which the general
died has touched soft spots in the hearts Of
Parisians, and many warm expressions Of
sympathy for the dead soldier are heard in un-
expected quarters.

and had not the courage TO carry out his dyine
brothers last wish, till one day the Grand
Duke Vladimir said to him: IL you will NOS
fulnil the wish of our dead Nicholas shall
propose for the hand Of the princess myself"

set on TO Copenhagen. and one day, being alons
with the Princess Dagmar, he handed hes
tremblingly the letter OF his brother When
the princess had read it she blushed and said
Il also received letter from Nicholas Ia
which he begged me TO become your wife"
Alexander asked TO be allowed TO read the let
ter. The princess fetched 1t. and together
they read it. The sequel was marriage.

Believed to Have Lived lee Years.
'roup the Greensboro Daily Record


From the Greensboro Daily Record.
Jane Wilson, who died recently, had been q
slave, and had belonged to four Of the old F.
F. v. families-her last owner being R. ].
Flippen of Danville. who knew her age and
told her after the surrender of Gen. Lee that
she had lived to see two great revolutions end
in this country, meaning the surrender Of Lord
CORVALLIS in 1871 and Gen. Lee in 1865
Jane Wilson was twelve years of age when
CORVALLIS surrendered. and up to a short time
before her death could relate many instances
of those troublous times. She lived in Winston
in 1876 and an effort was made to get her to 60
to the Philadelphia centennial, but she could
not be induced to do 90.
She seldom knew what 1t was to be sick. up
to the last few years Of her life, when she was
kindly cared for by the husband Of her grand
daughter, with whom she lived twenty-five
years.
It is well.authenticated fact that she had
reached the remarkable age Of l22 years
