berry this morning at 2 o'clock at a
coal shute south of Centralia, Ills.

and the fireman refused to obey,
when the robbers opened fire,
wounding Young seriously in two
places,an the fireman was also
wounded. The express car was then
attacked but the messenger and
conductor of the train gallantly
resisted, assisted by a passenger
named Sanders, an old brakeman
of Duguoine, whose shot gun did
splendid service, wounding one
rObber fatally. The messenger and
the conductor are both slightly
wounded. The gang was at length
beaten off and disappeared in the
darkness. The express car door was
perforated with bullets. but the
robbers failed to secure any booty.
1t is said that there were fully
fifty thousand dollars aboard. The
wounded robber was with difficulty
saved from lynching, but cooler
counsel prevailed, and he was
jailed. 1t is now said he is known
as Daniel l.. Joseph. He carries a
card from the Order Of Railway
trainmen, issued by one Of the
Chicago lodges, and he also has a
switchman's card from the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fee, at Kan
sas City. Searching parties are

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-While
there does not appear to be the
least prospect that Clature will be
adopted by the Senate, it is quite
certain the question will come up

rules providing for modified form
Clature said he intended to push
the resolution as strongly as he
could, and if possible, secure vote
on it. He said he would make an
effort to get the resolution up to-
day. 1t is understood the admin

pleased with the situation, but if
forced, will oppose the Cla-
ture resolution as against the
traditions of their party.
