Brakeman George Trot made q brave
struggle with the robbers, endeavoring
TO knock one of them down and over
power him. He succeeded in getting the
better of one, but another shot him, as
stated above, and it is now thought he
cannot live. The robbers then held the
other people in the car in check with
revolvers until the train was near Mount
Pulaski. Then one of them jumped off the
train. which was running about twenty
five miles per hour. He compelled the
engineer to start the engine after the
train had stopped. The others got off at
Mount Pulaski, and up to l A. NJ. nothing
has been heard Of them.
They did not succeed in getting any
money or valuables from the passengers.

ings, and for a time general confiagra-
ton was threatened. There was a scene of
wild confusion and horror. Men jumped
from windows to save their lives. Sew

are supposed to have been lost
The fire originated in the front of
Sehmatzreid's store, caused by the ex-
plosion of a lamp. Frank L. Montverde
and John Mignold rushed through the
flames to the open air and were painfully
scorched. The flames licked their way
upstairs, which was the only means Of
exit from the top stories.
Attention was attracted from cries from
the third story, the rear of which was oc-
cupied by the Young Mems Christian
Association. Several forms were seen at
the windows in the Sitting smoke, APP
Dealing for aid. Before the tiremen
could locate the imprisoned men the heat

VIEWS OF SENATOR MITCHELL.
| SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Ex-senator John
| II. Mitchell of Oregon arrived in this city
Mitchell has positive views on the Ha-
waiian question. In an interview he said
! he thought the Government nigh be bet
| ter employed than IN trying to reSusci-
tate defunct monarchy in Hawaii. The
news Of President Cleveiand's intentions
had astounded him, and, in his opinion
the recognition of an etfete monarchy
was decided mistake on general Ameri-
can principles. He said: 'rhe purpose
is weak one, and represents a backing
down on the part of the United States
Government"
The Senator also expressed himself as
disguised with The attitude Of the Govern
ment in regard to the anti Chinese legis-
! lation.
Senator Mitchell only came mere on a
! flying visit, and has been busily occu-
pied since his arrival. He leaves to-mor-
row for Washington. d. c., to remain
until the Senate reconvenes, having been
summoned thither by the necessity of

Talking of Jim Crow" how many
people in Louisville know that the origi-

extraordinary capers to the tune of

ance founded upon this original, made, or
caused 20 be made, number of verses to
fit this refrain, and thereafter reproduced
upon the stage the untutored perform-
ance OF the original James, to the delight
and admiration of thousands. Who the
actor was | have forgotten. The darky's
name really was James Grow, and he be-
longed TO a livery-stable keeper, in whose
yard, near the hotel where the comedian
was staying, the original Jim Grow dance
was performed for the amusement of
such as loafeG there. | think the hotel

MARYsvILLE, Nov. 13.-The Govern
ment contract for the placing of new
mouth to the Yuba River, which has been
in progress for three months, was COM
pleted last Saturday night, and a portion
of the river was turned into the canal
which empties into the Feather River,
$500 feet southwest, in which distance
there is at least eight feet Of fall. The
work is very satisfactory, and indicates
that it will be the means of relieving
much outside pressure on the levees this
winter in the event of high water. Since
the water was turned in the Yuba has
been lowered at least six inches. and the
Feather has fallen even more than that,
which indicates favorable results in the
securing out of the Feather river below
the mouth of the Yuba, something long
desired by the orchardists on the river

WALLA WALLA (Wash.), Nov. 13.-A
daring bank robbery and attempted muir
der occurred at Milton, Or, ten miles
south of this city, at 3 o'clock this after
noon, at time when few persons were
seen on the street. Three men, we'll
mounted, without attracting any special
attention, rode leisurely into town and
dism0unted at the door Of the Bank of
Milton. Two of them entered the bank,
while the third stood guard outside and
held the horses. Two pistol shots were
soon heard, and Immediately after the
men emerged from the bank, mounted
their horses, and rode like the wind out
of town to the southwark. There was no
attempt to mask their faces, and one of
the men was identified as A. Mccarthy.
President A. Hopson, Cashier n. A.
Davis and Assistant Cashier William
Hopson were in the bank at the time.
Cashier Davis was behind the counter
counting out $40 to give to President
Hopson. The first intimation of the rob-
berry he had was two shots fired by the
robbers before making any verbal de-
mands. Both shots took effect in Presi-
dent Hopson, one passing through the
left arm and one going through the left
side, inficting painful flesh wounds and
telling him to the floor. The revolver
was held so close to the head of Cashier
Davis that the concussion knocked him
down.
The robbers then demanded from Will
lam Hopson money, and he handed them
a tray on the counter, change containing
1894 %. Taking this they left immedi-
ately, without any attempt to get the cash
in the vaults.
The noise of the shots spread the alarm,
and within five minutes an armed
mounted posse were in pursuit of the
| robbers. They tracked them southwest
to Dry Creek, and it is supposed they
| turned there and went toward Wallula,
but all traces were lost short distance
beyond Dry Creek. The weather was
very foggy, and it was impossible to see
for more than two hundred yards. Of
ticers from this city started for Wallula
to guard the ferry. The robbers were
seen near Athena, Milton and Weston
the past week, and it is supposed were in
vestigating to see the most promising
point for raid. Saturday they pur-
chased patent barb wire cutters at Weston,
which were supposed to be for the pur-
pose of assisting them through fences.
1t is believed that they will be captured.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The Sheriff took
possession of the Washington State build
ing at the Worlds Fair grounds to-day,
under an attachment of the Union Ma
tiofial Bank to enforce claims amounting
to S2,325. The Washington State Com
missioners had an account at the Mer-
chants National Bank of Tacoma. They
drew check for 1925 and draft for 81 900

COMPLAINTS OF EXHIBITORS.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 13.-There is much
complaint among exhibitors over the de-
lay in awarding the Worlds Fair medal.
AS many of the exhibitors expect to make
the most of their medals in an advertis-
ing way, they complain that the great de-
lay will rob them of much Of the COM
mercial advantage which they expect to
reap in return for the heavy expense
involved in making the Worlds Fair eX-
hibit.
The design by ST. Gaudens for the off
cial medals is here, but the contract for
manufacturing the medals has not yet
been awarded, and it is still even uncer-
tain whether the work may not be done
by the United States Mint.
The plan of the Treasury officials con-
templates medals of elegant Workman
ship, which would require four or five
months time, as it would necessitate the
stamping of some of the medals 400 or 800
times. 1t does not seem probable that the
work will be completed before next sum-
mer. The blame is laid to the Committee
of Awards or to the designer, st. eau
dens, for not furnishing the designs
earlier,
