BIG EXPRESS ROBBERY.
A Lake shore Train Attacked In In
diana by Dozen Men. Who Hob
tho Express Car of IA Large
Amount,

The Atlantic express on the Lake Shore
Railroad was robbed near kessler, indiana,
on the morning of the 18th, and large sum
of money secured from the safe of the United
States Express Company. A number Of
men vnriously estimated from five to twenty
were the robbers They were provided with
horses, which were hitched near the track.
The robbers frat turned a switch on the
sidc-track at Kessler, knowing that the red
light thus shown would cause the engineer to
stop The calculation was we'll made
Engineer James Knapp saw the danger sig
nal and applied the air-brakcs. The next In
slant he was covered by Il revolver and tod
10 throw up his hands, while half dozen
men climbed into the cab to emphasize the
order Knapp, instead, made an attempt to
start his engine forward, but the next mo-
meut fell with TWO bullet wounds, one in the
shoulder and one in the left side. He was
subsequently taken to his home In Elkhart,
and may not recover.
This was the only opposition to the robbers
who numbered, according to the majority OF
the stories, twelve or fifteen. Leaving two
men In charge OF the engine, they went dl-
rect TO the express car, and with dynamite
cartridge attempted to shntter the door. The
first effort failed, but second was more sue
ccssful, and the robbers rushed In on NJ. NJ.
Welst and the Byron b. Iiamblin, the ex-
press messenger and assistant, who on look
ing into the muzzles of a rifle and half dozen
revolvers, obcyel the order TO throw up your
hands, one of the robbers with heavy
.ledge knocked the knob on the express safe,
while another produced drill and In few
moments had n hole through the strong box
into which dynamite cartridge was inserted.
This WAS exploded without apparent result,
as another and another, but when iifth was
fired the door gave way and the robbers
seized the contents and running towards a
little grove, where their horses were con
cealed, they fired volley into the air to In.
timidate possible pursuers swung into their
saddles and rode away into the night with
their booty
the conductor of the train and his crew
kept very quiet and the passengers were not
alarmed until the affair was about over, when
there was great scramble to secrete watches,
pocket books and other vauables In short
time the train moved on.
The officers say that the amount secured
was less than 1000, but It is declared that
It was much more In reality, some estimates
placing the loss at 500, 900.
Six blocks of silver bullion which were In
the car were not touched. Neither were the
small portable safes In which the small sums
of money were carried.

PoPUL,STS IN VIRGINIA.
They Are Making "A Lively Campaign II
That state.

A Warrington dispatch says: Missionaries

In the gnbernatorial campaign In Virginia
Believing that u large number of the honest
farmers Of the state want free coinage OF sll-
yer, which they cannot get just now from
either the Republicans or the Democratic
party, they propose TO fight out the financial
question. While they do not expect to secure
the defeat OF Colonel O'Fcrrell, who resigned
from Congress to accept the Democratic nom
ination for governor, they do think he will
have to hustle.
Their campaign Is already on. The rough
and ready Simpson has been to Lynchburg,
Gordonevillc and Stannardsvllle and proposes
to beard the lion In his den by speaking at
Winchester and Woodstock in O'Ferrell's
congressional district about the middle Of the
month
The eloquent and enthusiastic Pence of
Colorado is stripping for the fray and will be
heard In Leesburg next Monday and other
towns later. Representatives Harris and
Davis of Kansas, KEN of Nebraska and other
Populists are going to inject themselves into
the campaign, and even Senators Allen, Pef-
fer and Kyle will speak. Judge Kerr, one OF
the most effective takers on the stump In
Colorado, has come here to answer the cry for
help from the Virginia men, and altogether II
