INDIANA TRAIN ROBBERS.
The Engineer KILLED. Cars Blown
Open and a Big HanI in the
latest Robbery.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 12.-The Southern
express, bound to New York, over the
Michigan-Lake Shore, twas held up at
Kendallville, Ind, this morning. Twenty
robbers boarded the tram, one shot the
engineer fatally, and the party blew up
the express car with dynamite, securing
largo sum of money. After the car was
blown open the messenger fought bravely
but was overpowered.
The robbers secured 100000 in gold.
Tho chief of police was notified and he,
aiding the sheriff, imm ediately had posse
out in search of the robbers. VIM. Pin
kerton being consulted, thinks the rob-
bers were native Indianians and we'll ac-
quainted with Kendallville and vicinity.
Later r-Indianapolis-Ihe express com
pany have requested the governor of In
diana to offer a substantial reward for the
apprehension of the robbers.
Toledo, Ohio.-Engineer James Knapp,
of the Lake Shore express, was brought
to his home here, with bad bullet wound
in right side. The doctors say he will
probably recover.
Cleveland, Ohio.--When the robbed
train reached here the gatemen could
hardly keep the crowd off the track. The
passengers were badly scared and seemed
anxious to leave the train.
Q. Fl. Wood, porter of the sleeping car
Rica, said: 81 saw the whole thing, and
don't mind saying l was badly scared.
We were running at lively rate, when
the train suddenly stopped, ana the con
ductor running to me, said: Lower the
lights. Don't make any noise. The train
is held up and the devils to pay. We
may be able to keep them out of this
part of the train, Before he stopped
speaking half dozen pistol shots

There must have been at least

house. Thirty-three senators have ar
ranged to make speeches on the repeal,
and it is quite probable that before
vote is taken every senator will have
placed himself on record by speech.
The final vote is apparently some weeks
off.
LONG WAY OFF.
The prospects for statehood for New
Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma are very
favorable.
1t is evidently the plan of the house
leaders to prevent at this time any kin
dred financial or currency legislation
which might complicate the situation in
the senate. The house, however, will con-
tinue to transact business and will first
take up bills to admit the territories of
Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, the bill
to repeal the federal election law and pos
sibly the bankruptcy bill.
MORE LANDS TOR SETTLERS.
The opening of two more Indian reser-
vations is under consideration at the in
terror department. The conditions of
the opening as at present contemplated
are practically the same as those under
which the Cherokee strip will be opened.
The opening of the Kickapoo reservation
in the Indian territory has already been
decided upon and allotments are now be-
ing made. The president is expected to
issue in short time the proclamation
opening this land to settlement.
The next reservation to be opened, it is
believed, is the Uncompahgre and Uintah
Ute in Utah. In tho latter valuable
minerals are abundant, while each com
prises rich farming land.
The Colville reservation in Washington
state will probably be opened to settle
ment early next year. This reservation
contains about 100000 acres, about half
the size of the Cherokee outlet.
NATIONAL NOTES.
The total amount of silver purchased
this month so far is SCI 600 ouLces.
The president has decided not to on
force the Chinese exclusion law pending
further action Of congress. The decision
will put stop to the prosecution of the
Chinese in California aud the northwest.
II is reported on what is said to be
good authority that the president and
vice president have had Il serious falling
out over appointments distasteful to Mr..
Stevenson. The breach between them is
widening.
Congressman Everett, of Massachu-
setts, has introduced in the house a bill
which extends the time of Chinese registra-
ton from May IS, 1898, toSept. !, 1894. The
effect of this bill, if enacted into law, will
be to practically nullify the Geary law
until Sept l, 1891.

SACRED FISH.
A Strange Superstition Of tho Mosiems OF
Trlpolt-


Trlpolf-
Near Tripoli the Moslems have erect
eel large, high building, with snow
white dome, near the pond and tree
known in occult literature as the Pond
and Tree of the Sacred Fish" The
building itself has title equally as
high-sounding as the pond and the tree,
being known throughout northern
Africa as The Palace of the Sacred
Fish" The fish, which are kept in a
clear pool in the rear of the building,
much resemble common dace or club,
but the old sheik who has charge of
them says that they are really the re-
animated souls of departed Moslems of
high renown- One, large black fish,
the king of these piscatorial oddities, is
said to seldom show himself, but the
others may be seen in thousands. The
old sheik, who must be of theosoph-
zeal turn of mind. says that during the
Crimean war many of the older fishes
went off under the sea to Sebastopol 70
fight the Russians. and that hundreds of
them came back badly wounded. The
people of Tripoli believe that anyone
so indiscreet as To eat one of these fish
would instantly die a horrible death.
