Thursday in Rome.

ROME, Jan. 15.-Randolph Rogers,
the celebrated American sculptor, whose
serious illness from pulmonits was an
nounced few days ago, died to-day, at
his residence, Rogers Villa, in this city.
Randolph Rogers was born in
Waterloo, N. ", July 9th, 1925. Up to
the age of 20 he was engaged in mer
camille pursuits. He then went to Italy
and studied sculpture at Rome. Re-
turning to New York in 1850, he
opened a studio there. In 1866 he re-
turned to Italy and had resided there
ever since. One of his best known
works is the bas-reliefs on the
doors of the Capitol at Washington,
representing scenes in the life of Colum-
bus. This was designed in 1868 and
cast in bronze at Munich. In 1861
Rogers completed the Washington mon
umcnt, at Richmond, which had been
left unfinished by Thomas Crawford.
Among his later works were a statue
of Lincoln for Philadelphia, (1S7D;
the "Lost Plead" and "Genius
of Connecticut on the capitol
at Hartford, (1S77); statue of William
II. Seward, for New York, (lS76); an
equestrian group of Indians, in bronze,

A Bold Train Robber Who Asked Terms

ST.. Louis, Jan. 14.-Adelbert D. Slye,
the alleged Glendale train-robber, was
formally arrested yesterday, by the st.
Louis county authorities and taken to
Clayton, where he was arraigned under
the indictment found yesterday.
When asked to plead he created a
sensation by saying to his attorneys, in
comparatively loud tone, "IIold on,
wait; let us see what sentence the court
would give in case of plea of guilty"
A hurried consultation resulted in the
entering of plea of not guilty, and
Slye failing to furnish bonds was re-
turned to jail for safe keeping. 1t is
believed that Slye will never come to
trial.

MS Far rs philadelphia Is Concerned.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 13.-Republican
conventions were held to-day to elect
delegates from Philadelphia to the ma
tional convention. Two delegates and
two alternates were chosen from each
congressional district. They are all
Quay men, nominally for Blaine, but
ready to do Quay's bidding. The two
administration candidates-Leeds and
Henry-were very badly beaten. The
QuayWard combination also elected IS
delegates out of IS to the state conven-
ton, which will nominate two delegates
at large to the Minneapolis convention.
The general result was expected, but
the administration proved to be weaker
than it was supposed to be.
The issue was fairly drawn between
Blaine and Harrison, and Blaine won.
lie was helped, of course, by having
the machine in his favor, but he is also
the favorite of the masses of Republican
voters. Quay will probably not be as
strong in other parts of the state as in
this city, but it is generally believed
that he will control absolutely the Penn
sylvania delegation to Minneapolis, and
| that if he sees chance of success he
will control it against Harrison. The
district conventions passed resolutions
! instructing their delegates to vote for
Blaine. They were all in the following
| form.

| licans of Pennsylvania is overwhelmingly
| in favor of the nomination of Hon. James

Trouble Feared.
ST.. Louis, Jan. 15.-A special from
Maria, Texas, says: Wednesday night
an attempt was made by an armed body
of Mexicans to rob the Cibilo silver
mines at Shafter, this county. The rob-
bers were surprised by detachment of

and were only put to flight after three
of their number had been killed.
Both parties were well armed with
Winchesters and the battle was warm
one. No rangers were hurt. One of
the dead outlaws is Antonio Crazco,

aid Of Federal troops
In this vicinity the Mexicans out
number the Americans two to one, and
serious trouble is feared as a result Of
