TRAIN ROBBERS USE DYNAMITE.
They Blow a Hole in an Express Car and
Make n Small Haul.

CAIRO. Ill, May l2.-At 10 O'Clock last
night. as .tne north-bound passenger train on
the Mobile and Ohio railroad stopped at Lake
ton, Ky. to take water, two masked men ap-
preached the engine. Covering the
engineer and fireman with revolvers
they compelled them to get of the engine and
go with them 10 the express car. where they
commanded the express messengers, 5. II. Ray
and III. c. Peatson, his assistant, to open the
door of the express car.
This the messengers refused TO do and began
hiding the contents of the safe and valuables.
The messengers were informed If they did not
open the car it would be blown open with
dynamite.
They refused a second time, when a charge
of dynamite went of, blowing a hole in the
side of the car.
One of the robbers put his gun in and de-
manded that the doors be opened. Under
promise of not being hurt the messengers
opened the door and the robbers secured every
thing that was left in The safe and then left the
car and escaped in the timber.
The amount stolen is not over 81, 600. None
OF the passengers were molested.

DIR. BARTLETT HOME AGAIN.



the Worlds Fair.
Rev. DIR. W. A. Bartlett, the pastor of the
New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. re-
turned to the city last evening from fort
nights stay in Chicago. During his visit
he saw rs much as possible of the fair in
the time at his disposal and has come back
more than enthusiastic over what he saw. He
told STAR man this afternoon that while
everything was not complete, yet there was still
more than any one person could ever
hope to take in. The general effect was
superb and beyond the power of words to de-
scribe. The stories Of extortion on every hand
that have been SO freely circulated since the
opening of the fair. he said. were entirely
without foundation. At the service at his
church next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock Dr.
Bartlett intends to deliver an address on the
subject of the worlds fair and the lessons that
are to be derived from it.
