LONDONDERRY VT, FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER a9 1893
Two would-be train robbers were

Two would-be train robbers were
killed and their four companions capt
ured near st. Joseph, Mo-, early
Monday morning. The officers of the
road got wind of the intended "hold
up" and sent out dummy carrying
sixteen policemen. The result was
as above stated. A press dispatch
from st. 10. gives this account of the
fight:
The train pulled silently out of the
depot on its way north. When about
two miles from this city the engineer
saw red light swung to and fro on
the track ahead, and slowed down
AS soon as he had done so six mask
ed men surrounded the train. Two
rushed upon the engine, and, with
pistols at the heads of engineer Wright
and Fireman Wise, ordered them to
take dynamite and blow open the ex-
press Car door, under pain of death.
On refusal, the bandits asked the
supposed messenger to open the door,
but he refused, and robber shouted: /:
''Open the door, or we'll blow you
all to -"
AT THIS the door was opened, and
three of the bandits-Fred Kohler,
Henry Gleitze and j. Garver-jump-
ed in and made for the safe. As
they did so an officer carelessly ex-
posed his head. Kohler fired at HIM,
and with his companions jumped from
the train and joined those on the
watch outside.
A volley followed them, aud Kohler
fell. A general fire was then opened,
the robbers standing their ground un-
til Hugo Engel fell: Then the po-
lice made a rush and captured Fred
ericks, Carver and Hurst, who were
lodged in Jail. Gleitze escaped but
was pursued by posse and tracked
to his home in this city, where he was
captured.
Kohler's body was pierced by forty
three bullets, yet while he lay on the
ground he managed to fire four shots
before he died. He married au esti-
mable young woman three weeks ago.
Engel was stuck by fourteen bullets,
but yet lived for nearly an hour.
The officers escaped without a
scratch, although fully fifty or sixty
shots were exchanged.

amid the ruins of Pompeii. The box

full of pomatum or grease, hard but

somewhat that of rose, but was
much more fragrant.

New York Press /:

When Mr.. Cleveland, within a few
days after the election which assured
him of the Presidency, was entertain
ed by party of millionaires at ban
quet, which cost more for a single
plate than the average workingman
expends for food in month, he gave
notice pretty clearly that this was go
ing to be millionaires' Administra-
ton. Since that banquet was held
the public have heard Mr.. Cleveland's
most intimate associate and adviser
talking about "the lower classes"
meaning apparently, the American
workingmen whom Mr.. Cleveland
and his associates propose to reduce
to the level of European pauper la
borcrs. Now we see selected as Am
bassador to Rome man whose sole
qualification for office is the fact that
he is several times millionaire, and
gave 100000 or 5000 to the Demo-
cratic national campaign fund. Thou
sands of Democrats, even in the lit
tie State of Rhode Island are better
fitted for the Italian Embassy than
Val Allen, the Newport Anglomaniac,
nominated for one of the most impor-
tant offices in the gift of the Admin
istration.

The Massachusetts railroad COM
missioners have just made public
their finding in the case Of the recent
bridge disaster at Chester on the Bos-
ton and Albany railroad. They find
the immediate responsibility for the
disaster rests upon David Belville,
the foreman who had the charge and
direction of the work and who on
this day recklessly allowed the work
to be done by improper methods and
the bridge to be left in an utterly un-
safe condition and heedlessly neg
lected to warn the coming train. The
original responsibility for the acci-
dent must rest with the railroad COM
pany in the fatal neglect or ommis-
sion on their part to provide compe-
tent supervisor or inspector.

The responsibility for this appar-

twenty Democratic Senators from the
South, who, in chasing the chimera
of free coinage, are willing to render
the Senate imbecile and helpless, to
defeat their party, to discredit their
| Administration and to abandon all
hopes of securing any of the reforms
which the people have commissioned
the Democratic party to execute.

gave it to my little boy three years old who
was so weak across his back, over the region
of the kiddeys, that he could hardly walk
across the floor without falling down and he
was fast losing strength at the time he COM
menced using your medicine. He has taken
less than two bottles and today l cannot see
but that he is as well as any child. l feel
that cannot say enough in its praise as
kidney medicine.
