I'I'aIn Robbers and Wreck srs.

The Railroad Gazette has collected
STATISTICS Of train wrecking and train
roDbing for the first six months of
1893, which yield some surprising re-
suits. One is accustomed to- think of
train wreckers and train robbers as
investing sparsely settled Western
States. but the statistics show ON the
contrary that such crimes are most
prevalent in well-settled States The
Gazettes figures show sixty-one at
tempts to wreck trains, AMID twenty
one attempts to rob Them Massa-
chllsetts and Illinois, head the list in
the number Of attempts to wreck
tr aims, and Ohio, follows, In these
three advanced States were made
more than one-half of all the at
tsmpts to wreck trains, and the
State of New York follows. The only
explanation offered for this prepon-
derance of train wrecking in we'll.
settled and, generally speaking, WE'LL
governed States is, that the mileage
of railroads is greater in those States
than in others, and that tramps, who
are responsible for most attempts to
wreck trains, flourish in thickly set
tied regions
The geographical distribution of
attempts at train robbing are still
more curious. Iowa heads the list;
Indian Territory and Oklahoma taken
together have the same number;
Texas follows, and then comes Kansas
and Nebraska. Sixty-seyen per cent.
of all the train robberies or attempted
trian robberies occurred in these four
States and two Territories.

TROOPS SENT TO THE FRONT,
Ode Cause for Possibilities Between Mexico
and the United States


WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept IA flock of
sheep is likely to be the primary cause
of vaz with Mexico unless the exceed
Ing critical condition of affairs on the
luo f5gande border shall quickly assume
"a gaw phase. To-day United States
troops are being hurried to the scene of
the threatened trouble to reinforce a
asauaja detachment Of regulars that are
drawn UP on the disputed territory,
and against HON Mexico has
scn, q heavy detachment of cavalry
An EFFORT is being made to settle the af-
far smicably, but should the United
States and Mexican forces meetan en-
cnul.ter is not beyond possibility, and
IN eVent of the shedding of blood Sc
rious complications cannot be avoided.
H1s1e the trouble on the Mexican
border IS ostensibly over the attempt of
Mexican officers to drive a flock of
$3.50 sheep from the United States to
earning the boundary line between
the Two countries. A telegram
to the War Department this morning
esfaaes that two troops of the Sixth
Cavalry with scouts marched from Fort
KlBgGsoid at noon to-day from Havana,
the scene of the trouble, to support the
twenty aen under Capt, Furbush, who
has the Mexican officers and the sheep
in charge. The telegram also states that
the commanding officer at Fort Ring
g0}d has received unofficial information
frat Col Mistro, of the Mexican army,
rs Gaming up the Rio Grande to Havana
frofn Reynosa with force of men.
Ihc War Department is making an
effort u secure detailed information as
f" ttss2 ownership of the sheep and it's
action will depend on the result.
Should the claim of the Mexican au-
tisayJtles that the flock belongs to Mex
icans citizen be proved, the sheep will
be allowed to cross over the Mexican
like. PENDING a settlement Of the mil
It&yz aspect Of the affair, the State De-
pertinent will hold the matter in abey-
