A TRIP A LA HARRISON.
A York Family Make a Tour of the South
and West.

Dr. j. F. Small, Henry Small, Mrs D. e.
Small and Miss Small, a prominent family
of York, Pa, stopped over night at the
Monongah Ia House, returning from seven
week. tour of the South, Southwest, Cali
fornia and the Northwest.
The party followed the same route as pur-
sued by President Harrison last spring.
They had a remarkably delightful trip, and
come back to their native State improved
in mind aud body.
DR.. Small's description of the West was
glowing, and he said for many features it
eclipsed the East. The railroad service on
the big trunk lines was more than satii-
factory. and especially on Northern Pacific.
He said that the Pennsylvania Railroads
famous limitel was not equal to the
service of the fast and frst-class
trains on that line. The dining service was
simply delightful, and the time made was
schedu,c up to a second.
Henry Small has an odd collection which
he gathered on the tip. 1t is pictures of
every hotel at which the family stopped.
Many of them are of the most modem arch
itecture and equal to the grand hostelries
of the metropolis in point of service They
were in the Palace Hote. when the recent
earthquake took place on the slop, The
great structsre wavered for moment and
the sensation was very thrilling to every
guest, many Of whom began to flee to the
streets. Seattle and Tacoma, Wash, are on
the wane. They have been artifcially in
fiated and doomed, and now a reaction is
settling upon the mushroom cities of the
Sound. Portland, Ore, and Denver struck
the gentleman as being the most thriving
cities in the West.
The family leave for York to-day after
paving visit to Pittsburg's points of in

A FIREMAN'S STORY.
HOW A PASSENGER TRAIN WAS HELD
UP NEAR OMAHA.

His Experience on the Locomotive With
the. Bandits-Compelled to Assist in
Breaking in the Express Car-Promis-
cuous Shooting-The Messenger States
the Loss.
KANSAS CITY, Nov 5.-The train which
was robbed at West Side, near Omaha, last
night, arrived here this morning The train
looked as if it. had gone through war;. The
front door of the express car was broken
into splinters. The front door of the
smoking car had the glass broken out by.
bullets and the other cars were more or less
perforated with bullet holes
The Pacific express car was the only one
that was robbed. Immediately after the
train arrived here the express matter that
the robbers did not take was sent to the
company's Office. Sam Green, the mes
senger went to the superintendent office
and was closeted with the Superintendent
for some time. Before he saw his superior
he would say nothing about the robbery.
Afterward he said the robbers only got
S285 83. Superintendent johnson also says
the robbers got but 1886 83. 1t seems to be
the general belief, however, that SC, 900 will
more clearly cover the company's loss. The
best story of robbery is told by Fireman
Blanchard:
'We had got pretty near to the Fremont,
Elkhorn and Missouri Valley crossing, IL

FOREIGN BILLS OF LADING.
The Form Which Is Insisted Upon by the
Transatlantic Lines.

Transatlantic Lines.
CHICAGO, Nov. Sat meeting last
week of the permanent Committee on the
Uniform Bill, representing the railroads be-
tween the Mississippi river and the At
lantic seaboard, resolutions were passed
recommending the adoption of the export
bill of lading recently formulated by the
ocean steamship lines, to take effect Decem-
Der 1. The members of the permanent COM
mittee were unanimous in this action. As
the proposed form does not change the con-
ditions of the uniform domestic bill of
lading, except in so far as may be required
to adapt them to export business, ocean
lines have given notice that they will not
accept property shipped after December 1
on any other conditions than those shown
in the form. Chairmen Goddard and
Blanchard have issued a circular approving
the export bill of lading on behalf of the
joint committee of the Trunk Line and
Central Traffic associations. The condi-
tions on which the ocean lines insist are
these:
In case of property carried by any vessel
destined to British port, or to any other
port, by British vessel, this contract shall
be governed, SO far as regards the response
bility of the the trans-oceanic vessel and
her owners, by the law of England. In the
case of property carried by any vessel other
than British, destined to other than British
port this contract shall be governed, so far
as regards the responsibility of the trans
of the country Of the port of the vessels
destination in respectto this shipment.

GERMANY HAS ITS BARDSLEY.
Royalty and the Nobility Impoverished by
the Wolff Bank Failure

BERLIN, Nov. 5.-The suspension yester-
dav of the firm of Hirschfeld & Wolff, the
bankers of this city, caused sensation in
financial circles, but it was as nothing to
the developments to-day. 1t was reported
At the time the failure was announced that
the Empress of Germany and Prince Henry
of Prussia were liable to lose large
amount by the failure, and that the Minis
ter OF Public Worship, DIR. Won Gossler,
had lost his entire fortune, and that many
members of the most aristocratic families
were involved in the firms troublec
Under such circumstances a rigid investi-
cation into the affairs of Hirschfeld & Wolff
was only natural. This inquiry into the
bankers business methods commenced YES
terday and resulted this morning in the
arrest OF Herr Wolff. head of the firm, on a
charge of most serious nature, the particu-
lars of which have not vet been made
public This financial upheaval is the only
thing being talked about to-day in Berlin,
and further and more startling develop
Nents are expected when the full facts be-
come known. The amount of the firms liza
bilities is not yet announced, but it is un-
dcrstood that it is very high.
