TO WRECK THE EXPRESS.
Eight Men Attempt to Cut . Lake Shore
Freight In Two.


Another desperate attempt to rob
the New York fast express, No. II, on
the Lake Shore Railroad was made
near Goshen. Ind. Saturday night.
The attempted hold-up was conducted
on a plan new in the annals OF modern
train robberies, says a Goshen Dispatch.
but was brought to an end disastrous /.
to the would-se robbers by the heroic
resistance of the train crew.
The first section of No. 80. fast
meat train. pulled out Of tlkhart at
lu:23. with orders to run to Ligonier
without stepping. All seemed we'll
with the train. but when about Il mile
out of Elkhart the engineer. John

learned. had boarded the train
at Elkhart and had been con-
cealed between the ears. They

man, but could not be driven from the
train. Five miles farther on 4 second
attempt was made. which was likewise
unsuccessful. The n"Xt four miles to
Goshen witnessed Il continual battle be-
tween the train crew and the deSpera-
does for the control of the train. Con-
ductor Hickok was badly bruised and
pommeled, as was also one of tho
brakemen The robbers secured four
watches belonging to the train crew
and all the money they had.
Upon arriving at Goshen the engl-
| neer whistled for help. and Officers
James Daton and Jerry Trump were
quickly on the scene. but two Of tho
desperadocs We're captured.
The plan of the robbers was one
| which would. if it had been success
fully carried out. have caused great
loss of life and money. They were en-
deavoring to leave IA part of the fast
freight standing on the track, into
which the New York express. which
was following close after. would dash.
! In the consequent wreck the robbers
expected to get away with considerable
booty from the express car. The fast
express is the same train which was SO
successfully looted ut kessler two
months ago and is always Il very heavy
train, never being made up of less than
thirteen or fourteen cars. The two at
tacks have aroused the Lake Shore Of
ficials, and every means possible are
being put forth to capture the six rob-
bers still at large.

ACT OF A DRUNKEN FIENO.
Jordan Kills His Wife, Her Sister, and
Parents, and Himself.

Parents. and Himself.
AS the result of a terrible tragedy
growing out of family feud five per-
sons are dead in their country homo,
several miles east of Seymour, Ind,
says a dispatch. Four years ago Clin-
ton Jordan, then II years old, married
a daughter Of Joshua Foster, with
whom he never lived happily. Last
week they separated, and she returned
TO the hcmc Of her father.
The other night Jordan met his
father-in-law and accompanied him
home in spite of his protests, rs he
feared trouble. Jordan promised to
behave, but soon after his arrival
at Fosters home he began Il quarrel.
When Foster then ordered him out
of the house Jordan fired at
the old man. The ball missed him and
struck Cora Foster. aged II, in the
head, killing her instantly. A second
shot hit Foster in the head and
knocked him down. The old man
picked himself up and ran about half
mile to the home OF another Of his
sons.in-laws, William Powell. He fell
unconscious and fingered until late in
the afternoon, when he died. Jordan
then turned his revolver on Mrs. Fos-
ter, his mother-in-law, shooting her in
the neck. the ball ranging downward
and causing wound from which she
died. Jordan's wife attempted tn de-
ferd her mother. and he stabbed her
repeatedly in the breast, hands
and face. and ended by shooting
her through the head. Jordan then
opened his vest, placed the revolver
against his breast, and sent a ball
through his heart. He dropped dead,
falling across the dead body Of his
wife. The revolver was new and had
evidently been bought with premedi-
tated purpose Of killing his victims.
The knife with which the murderer's
wife was SO cruelty gashed was also
new and long and had been freshly
sharpened. Jordan had an unsavOry
reputation and in frequent spells of in
toxication was ugly ard quarrel-ome.
All the other victims were peaceful
and orderly citizens. Jordan, the as
sassin and suicide. was illitcrate and
stupid, but had always been considered
| harmless.

about 4 clock and resulted from the ex-

occupying three-story block on the cor

minutes the building was mass of

carried the fire through the block and
across the street. The Hannibal fire
department was helpless, and two
steamers from Quincy. ILL.,, were fight

lamp explosion. The combined forces
were only able to contine the flames to
the blocks first visited. The telegraph
and telephone lines we're imperative,
and the storm of ice and sleet which
followed further crippled the wires in

BALLINGER, Tex, Oct. ia Associ-

stage robbery are just received. Three
miles east of Robert Lee, in Coke
county, the Ballinger & Robert Lee
stage was robbed by two highwaymen.
They were disguised, wearing long
slickers and having masks over their
faces.
At point in the road where there
are rsvines and thick nnderbrush they
met the stage and ordered the driver to
halt and throw up his hands, at the
same time forcing him to look down the
barrel of huge ugly sixshooter. They
took 1.65 from the driver and rifled
the mail sacks, securing about 3,100,
which was being sent from the bank at
Robert Lee to other banks throughout
the state. After securing their booty
they ordered the driver to turn his face

AMERICA WINS.
The VigiIant is the Swift
est Yacht.
America Is Still Queen
of the Wave.
The Race Between the Two
Yachts Very Close.
The Vigilant the Superior Boat
However and She Holds the Cup
This Side of the Atlantic.

NEW York, Oct. 13.-[Associated
Press. What will probably prove the
last of the races between the British
yacht Valkyrie and the American yacht
Vigilant, was sailed today. Fortunate
ly it is good Valkyrie weather. There
is a gale of nearly 80 miles per hour
from the east with a good bit of sea 80
that the racers are getting good wet
ting as they plough through the old
ocean. There is haze over the water
making observation somewhat difficult.
When the time for the start came,
the Valkirie was, a considerable distance
from the line and though the gun was
fred the start was delayed to allow her
to come up, as it was thought from he-
movements there might have been some
accident. The start was delayed till
after noon. When the starting gun
was finally fired the Vigi ant was in the
better position and got over the line
about a minute ahead of the English
man, laying the course on dead beat
to windward to east. Both boats were
on the port tack at the start. The
breeze is stiff and the sea choppy.
Three minutes after the start the
Vigilant tackled across the Valkyrie's
bow and minute later at IL: IA tackled
again to windward. The Valkyrie at
once followed suit, both sending the
apray over the decks, but the Valkyrie
does not seem to be as wet as the
American. The Vigilant is holding hel
lead. At 1925 the Vigilant led by ar
eighth of a mile. The wind at thai
time was thirty miles per hour from the
southeast and freshening every minute
| It was close and exciting contest
beating out to the stake boat in the
teeth of the gale. The mist which
hung over the racers rendered it i'm.
possible to follow their movements
close. Between the riffs in the fog
from time to time glimpses of the flying
yachts were caught, first one woulo
appear ahead and then the other
Once the Vigilant was seen to force
the Valkyrie to 60 about. At Al
the Valkyrie rounded the stake boa
with lead of three minutes and twenty
seconds.
A fleet of excursion steamers are 60.
ing off shore into the fog which for the
time being also hides the yachts. They
will not be seen again until the fog
lifts or they return home.
AS the yachts squared away for ths
run home they went at terrific pace
through the sea. The Vigilant was
seen to be gradually closing the dis
tance between her and the flying Brit
isher and not far from the turn the
Yankee boat gained the lead and a
:52-44 crossed the finishing line. Th,
Valkyrie followed at 3;56-30 and the
! cup is ours.
