A Short Talk On An Important
Subject.


Work at Murray Hill, as everywhere,
has been obliged to pick its way slow
ly through the backward Spring.
Notwithstanding some back sets on
account of the tardy season, some re-
liable and promising progress has been
made. Fine blocks of tempting grass
have been scattered over the future
home lots, preparatory to building !;
material has been collected, more or
less grading has been done and parti
cularly the opening of Franklin street
has brought the lovely sites of Murray
Hill into close communication with
the city. Mr.. Melvin is pushing bust
ness and inquiries for lots are of daily
occurrence. Very many OF these choice
sites will be taken this season. Pros
pectors will do well to complete their
selections before this Summer. as a
great rush is anticipated. The South
gate mansion will soon be erected and
others will quickly follow. Now is the
time to take hold of these invest
ments as large profits will develCIe in
course of the year and those who buy
now will get the benefit of future i'm
provements. We cannot speak too
highly of Murray Hill property. Its
advantages must be recognized and
recognized at once by all who will
walk over the ground and carefully
note them. Don't let the opportunity
slip away from .your hands. Secure
some of these valuable lots before the
best are sold.

Agreeably to call the Democratic
State Convention will assemble in

will assemble at Chicago on Tues

dent. The State Convention will
also select two Electors at Large
aud one Elector from each of the

There is not the shadow of a
doubt that the entire delegation
which will be elected will vote for
the nomination Of Grover Cleveland
for President as long as there may
be hope of his nomination. Whilst
the State Convention will undoubt-
eddy pass a resolution OF commeu-
dation of the administration Of
Grover Cleveland and confidence in
his entire integrity as representa-
tive Democrat upon every issue OF
Democratic faith, it is not believed
any instructions will be given the
delegates. but they will be left free
and untrammeled. Toe Democra-
cy OF Maryland are undoubtedly in
favor OF the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland, and there is. there fore,
no necessity for instructions.

The Deutsche Kreogerbund and

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 21.-The Journals
Wichita special says: The st. Louis and
San Francisco passenger train which left
here at 1890 last night was held up and
the Wells-Fargo express car robbed by
four masked men near Augusta, Butler
County, about midnight.
Before o'clock this morning the out
laws were captured with part of their
booty.
AS the train slowed up at crossing a
mile east OF Augusta, two masked men
boarded the locomotive and ordered the
engineer and fireman to stop the train.
This was done and two other members
OF the gang uncoupled the express car.
The highwaymen demanded admittance
and commenced shooting through the
sides. The express messenger and bag
gageman soon gave in. Express MeSsen-
ger Stiff forced open the safe and the rob-
bers got between fifteen and twenty
packages Of money. The outlaws did not
attempt to rob the passengers and the lat
ter knew nothing of the robbery till it
was over. The amount of money secured
probably did not exceed $1,000, but the
amount cannot be definitely ascertained.
The robbery was committed by TOUR
farmers living in the vicinity ofDouglass,
Butler County. 1t seems they were sus-
pected for as soon as the Sheriff heard of
the affair he bounced upon the outlaws.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.-Chris Evans
and John Sontag, the Coils train-rob-
bers, have escaped over the Sierras.
and are now bound for the Colorado
River. Sheriff e. G. Seymour of San
Bernardino, who has arrived here, says
that on Saturday last the robbers, well
mounted, rode into Orc Grande. 1t was
a little after dinner. They did not tarry,
but Immediately proceeded on eastward.
Orc Grande is on the Mohave River,
forty-five miles north of San Bernardino,
over range of mountains in San Bernar-
dino County. 1t Is mere hamlet.
The bandits were well armed witty Win
chesters and revolvers, and did not at
tempt in any manner to conceal them.
They diSmounted for a moment, and it
was noticed that one of them was slightly
lame. They answered the description OF
Evans and Sontag perfectly. There was
no attempt at disguise. Their horses
were fresh and they were bowling right
along. Mr.. Seymour says they have
evidently been changing horses among
the mountain ranchers, and thus have
moved along unimpeded. They were ap-
parently heading for Ehrenburg, on the
Colorado, where they would make cross
ing. There are no officers in Ehrenburg.

1t is to nag the roads into compliance

the possibility of failure. If the yards
are cleared here, it is said there will be
stoppage of work at Rochester, then one
at Syracuse and then at West Albany,

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 2l.-E. p. Ellis, junior
member of the firm of A. Ellis * Son,
blacksmiths, was shot and seriously, if
not fatally wounded late this evening by
George Schmitt, rival blacksmith.
A few moments before the shooting
Schmitt exhibited to police officer an
ugly looking cut over his heart, evi gently
knife wound. He refused to give the
name of his assailant, saying he did not
want the man arrested.
Passing up the street Schmitt encoun-
tered Ellis, who is supposed to have been
his assailant, and shot him in the bowels.
Schnitt was lodged Jail and Ellis was
taken home.
The affair is the outgrowth of the
trouble between union and non-union
blacksmiths in this city. Some time ago
the shop of Schmitt was blown up by
dynamite, and he had Ellis and another
man arrested for the crime, but the evil
dence was too slight to warrant their de-
tentlon and they were discharged.
