The Boldest Train Robbery Ever
Attempted in Texas.
Without Provocation the Fireman
Was Shot Down and Then His
Murderer Was Captured.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

+ SAN ANTONIO. Tex, June %. The
boldest attempt at train robbery ever made
in Texas occurred this afternoon near
Breck kinridge. The affair resulted in the
killing of f. n. Martin, fireman, and til e
capture of one of the robbers, who gives
the name of j. ID. May. and says he is
COW boy.
The train was the San Antonio and
Aransas Pass which left here at l 20
o'clock. At Breckinridge the train stopped
to take water. and as she pulled out Rob-
Der May climbed up on the tender, and
with a pistol in each hand ordered the
engineer and fireman to throw up their
hands.
Engineer Tierney obeyed, but Martin
made movement as though he was about
to secure a pistol. The robber then began
pouring lead into Martin. keeping Tierney
covered all the time. Martin fell dead and
his body rolled on TO the track, where it
was run over.
The other two robbers when they saw
the dead body fall out of the cab jumped
from their position on the baggage-car and
made for the brush. Robber May jumped
into the cab and ordered Engineer Tier
ney to run the train across Indian River
bridge. Instead of complying The engi-
neer put on the airbrakes and The train
came to standstilI.
With parting shot at the engineer the
robber jumped from the engine and started
up the track on a hard run. Conductor

loose from the train started with the
messenger aud Engineer Tierney in pur-
suit.
Finding he could not escape over the
bridge, the robber took to the brush, and
Conductor Steele started after him single
handed and chased him, firing as he went.
The three robbers at the bridge COM
menced firing. and their volleys were re-
turned by the engineer and messenger.

armed him of Two pistols.

Mr.. Gladstone Shows the
Iron Hand.
HOME RULE WILL BE RUSHED
BaIfour Ventured a Question and Was
Nest Beautifully Turned Down
by the Premier.
Special to The MORNING CALL

LONDON, June 2S.-Gladstone made an
announcement i'll the Commons to-day
which caused much joy among the Irish
members and those of the radical party
who believe the time has come for throw
ing out the many amendments to the home
rule bill offered by the opposition for the
purpose of delaying the passage of the
measure. Gladstone stated that tomorrow
he would move the adoption of a resolu-
ton calling upon the House to expedite
the passage of the bill.
The announcement was greeted with
cheers by the supporters of the Govern
ment.
Gladstone added that the form of the
resolution was nearly prepared, and he
hoped to communicate it to the House be-
fore the session closed.
In reply to a question asked by A. j.
Balfour, leader of the opposition, Glad
stone said the resolution he proposed 10
move would be on the same principle as
the resolution offered in 1887. though it
would contain some important modifica-
tions. Gladstone was again cheered
After Gladstone had announced the
forthcoming resolution, A. J. Bafour, the
leader of the opposition, asked that the
terms of the resolution be communicated
to the opposition leaders before they were
publicly stated in the House.
With subtle irony Gladstone informed
Balfour the resolution was based on pro-
poSal made by the Conservatives, by which
the crimes act was rushed through Parlia-
ment in 1887. This reply evoked hearty
laughter and a hurricane of cheers from
tie Irish benches. Balfour was not at all
put out by the answer, and as Gladstone
resumed his seat Balfour smilngly bowed
toward him. When the Prime Minister
was reseated his ela,ed supporters rushed
into the lobbies, where they discussed the
Governments plan. The Irish members
were jubilant. The consensus of opinion
was that some such action could not with
safety be long delayed. If this action had
not been taken it would not have been
long before there would have been open
revolt instead of mutterings in the Irish
ranks against the Government.
John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, subsequently read the terms of the
resolution. These provide that the bill
shall be reported by July 81 and shall be
closured IN four sections.

LONDON. June 2S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Bangkok, the capital of Siam,
says the French gunboat Lutin is anchored
in the river opposite the center of Bangkok
and has made preparations to fire upon the
city. The topmasts of the gunboat have
been struck and guns have been mounted
in the fighting tops. The French admiral
in his flagship is expected to arrive in
Sjamese waters from Saigon.
The dispatch adds: Though most anxious
TO maintain friendship with the French.
Siam is quietly determined to resist ag-
erosion and is preparing for any contin-
gency. The defenses of the country prove
stronger than expected. Three ships have
been sunk at the entrance Of the Menan,

Schnabault. the anarchist who is sup
posed to have thrown the bomb at the

OF course, the friends of Schn abault de-
clare that he did not throw the bomb. but

to this unless he were socialist or an
anarchist.
Police Captain Setback. who worked up
most of the evidence against the anarchists
who were tried for the Haymarket riot,
always declared that the bomb was thrown
by Schnabault. and in after years. when a
Tribune reporter wrote Captain Schaack's
book on the Chicago anarchists, he stated
definitely that Schnabault was the man.
And now that the Governor of Illinois
has pardoned the anarchists who were not
hanged, the interest in the man who is
supposed to have thrown the fatal bomb is
keener than it has been since the famous
trial.

ing in or near this city since the time of

SACRAMENTO, June %. - Brakeman
James Bruce of 1911 Nineteenth street,
this city, is lying at the Railroad Hospital
in dying condition. He is the victim of a
tragedy which occurred in the mountains
at o'clock this morning.
Bruce is a brakeman on the eastbound
overland. He bade good-by to his wife
and five young children at his home at 9
o'clock last night and went up on the train
in the performance of his duties. The
train stopped at Gold Run about o'clock
this morning for the purpose of taking on
a supply of coal for the engines.
The work of coaling up had nearly been
completed and the train was ready to pro-
ceed when some tramps were detected on
top of the forward cars, whittier they had
climbed to steal ride over the noun tains.
Bruce was standing on the tender of the
second engine and called to the tramps to
get off. 1t is not known what words were
uttered but the brakeman's command had
scarcely left his lips when one of the tramps
on the top Of the car drew a revolver. and,
aiming down on Bruce. fired. The bullet
struck the brakeman right in the center of
the breast. between the lungs. The mur-
derous ruffian then escaped in the dark
with the other train-beaters.
Bruce, from whose breast the life blood
was streaming, was picked up and
brought into the station, where he was at
tended by DR.. Hood of Gold Run. All
that could be done for him was done until
the westbound overland arrived
Bruce was placed on the train and con-
veyed to Sacramento and to the Railroad
Hospital. DR.. Huntington, superinten-
dent of the hospital, says that Bruce can
not recover.
Word has been received that the man
who fired the shot had been arrested seven
miles from the sene OF the shooting.
Three men were brought here this after
noon. on suspicion of being Of the party of
tramps aboard the eastbound train this
morning when Brakeman Bruce was shot.
They were taken before Bruce at the rail-
road hospital. but he could not identify
any OF them as the man who shot him.
One admits that he was on the train, but
says that he did not know the others. He
saw man get down from he top of a car
with pistol in his hand and run into the
woods.
Bruce is not likely to live. His wife and
five small children were with him all day
and 1t was sad scene.

Special TO THE MORNING CALL

CHICAGO, June ga sensational sequel
comes tonight to Governor Altgeld's re-
lease of the Raymarket anarchists. The
Journal raises the question whether he is
legally Governor of the State of Illinois or
even citizen of the United States. The
journal says that Governor Altgeld bases
his claim TO citizenship on the simple
statement that his father was naturalized
while the son was Il minor child. Altgeld
ives born in Prussia in 1S4S and came TO
this country with his parents when a boy
II his father was made citizen while the
Governor was under 81 years of age there
is no question as to his title to citizenship,
but if the elder Altgeld waited until his
son was over q. before taking out papers
then the title of the Governor to citizen
ship is badly clouded. That the elder

9 Altgeld did so wait is what is claimed now
by the Journal, that paper claiming to
have a substantial basis for its claim.
The point is at least novel one, and
while it would not even if made good
probably invalidate anything that Altgeld
has done, he being the Governor de facto,
it would throw all of his acts under
ele' d and would eventuate inevitably in
proceedings in custer to throw the Gov
ernor out of Office. 1t would be the first
time that such proceeding has ever been
instituted in the United States. The feel
ing, however, is very strong against Altgeld
in certain circles in this city, the order
loving circles, in fact, and there are many
men who want nothing better than au op-
portunity TO avenge what they are pleased
TO term the outrage that he has offered to
law and order. They had concluded to
avenge it at the polls, but they will take
an early vengeance if they can.
The fact developed to-day that the
friends OF Fielden. Schwab and Neebe
knew before the election that Altgeld was
in sympathy with the cause of the AM
nesty Association from the fact that he
was ons of the signers OF the unsuccessful
, petition presented to Governor Fifer.
II is said the Amnesty Association will
continue its labors with view to now Sc
curing the pardon of the Bohemian anar-
chist. Hroneck, who was sentenced to
Joliet for fourteen years some time after
the conviction of the Haymarket rioters.
Representatives of fifty socalistic Sec
tons in the United States will open an
annual conference here in July. A prom
inent member OF the Chicago organization
said to-day that resolutions thanking Gov
ernor Altgeld would be adopted Hnani-
mously.
John P. Altgeld was born in. Germany
