IN BANANA LAND. JAMAICA
A DRIVE ACROSS COUNTRY IN
SQUIRE'S EXPRESS.
From tie G5e1ner.)

Taking the Rail way from Kingston to the
small way-side stati on Of Bog w walk one fluids
him self in the centre Of some OF tue most
picturesque scenery in Jamaica. 1t is here
that the stately Rio Cobre, fed by It's trlbu,
taries and their af1uents, the Rios D'Oro,
Pedro and Magno, takes its downward way
to the ocean. Close by is the wild and
picturesque gorge Of Bog Walk, remarkable
Tor the grandeur and severe beauty of its
scenery. Away to tho right stretches the
Above Rock country, whore peak upon peak
stand piled in irregular masses up to the clouds.
Right ahead is the Goddard Range, which,
rising in irregular formation and trending
away ~eastwaids, separates the rivers Of the
north from those of the south. The scenery
of this district is romantic in the extreme; the
DO Id and Jagged outline of hill and rock, the
lHxuriant vegetation, and the innumerable
varieties OF beast and bird all combining to
stimulate the Imagination and rivet as BY a
spell, the attention of the onlooker.
breaking away one glorious afternoon Of
the present month from the heat and glare Of
Kingston, we took a drive across the God
dard Range. passing on to Port Maria
and Annotto Bay. Taking the afternoon
train from Kingston We arrived III BogWalk

FOUR SISTERS.
He Married and Finally Succeeded In
KeApIRg the Last.

Living in the mountains OF Ruther-
ford County, Tennessee, is family
which has a singular history in mat
rimouial way. The father owns a lit
tie farm and four daughters, ur did
own The latter A man named Phil
Ups, about fifteen years ago, married
the eldest OF these daughters, and AZ
ter a few days OF married life the lady
ran away with the husbands sworn
enemy. He procured "a divorce from
her and woued the second sister aud
took her home, but the next day the
woman tursed up at home and said
she wouldn't liv- with Philips, and Ut.
ter time succeeIe,l iii getting legal
ly free from him
Then the third sister, undaunted BY
what had gone bef,,re, married the hus-
band OF her two slrters Soon after
this the fellow MAS sent TO the peniten-
tiary for an oi1ense that kept him
there for three Year,, and when he
came out he found that his wiie's fck-
lie fancy had strayed while he was alb
sent, and had fixed itself upon a
neighbor, John Callahan. BY law she
was entitled to a divorce from her hus-
band, as he was a convicted felon, so
getting it she married her lover.
In the meantime the first lover had
found that the man with whom she
had eloped would not marry her after
Phillips had divorced her, and return
ed home. Then Mrs. Callahan wan
dered back to her father, for her hus-
band No. 2 could not or would not
support her. So in this way the old
man once more had his four daughters
on his hand, and Phillips IS still free.
The youngest daughter was now
about Is, and she also fell victim to
the fascination the man Phillips APP
pears to have exerted over them all at
first, and becoming infatuated with
him consented to marry him. Phil
lips went to the father for the fourth
time to ask for a daughters hand and
was told that he might haye her on
condition that-he kept her.
Phillips promised, and the ceremony
was TO take place the following night,
when the ex-wives, growing jealous,
armed themselves and swore that the
marriage should never take place, so
Phillips rode to town and swore out a
warrant against tho sisters, telling of
their threats The women were sworn
then to keep the peace, but Phillips
thought it prudent, however, to run
away with his bride to Kentucky and
marry her there. This time his mat
rimonial venture seems to have ter
minated happily, for he has three
children and is prospecting.

ever perpalrated has been recorded in

Seminole, small station on the
Kansas and Arkansas Valley, which 10
a division OF the Missouri Pacidc.
The train robbed was No, 232, train
bound for Little Rock, Ark.
AS the train approached Seminole
the engineer saw danger signal
ahead and slowed up, being under the
impression that he was tagged to
meet another train. AS the train
neared the switch, however, the
engineer preceived that a flat ear had
been run ont OF the side track on the
main line and red light placed on
the car. AS soon as the train reached
the obstruction, the engine was board
ed by two OF three men who COM
manded the engineer and fireman to
Jump out Of their cab, which they did
with aiacrity AS they did so they
we're confronted by half dozen other
men.
ARMED TO THE TEETH
With Winchesters and revolvers. A de-
tachment OF the bandits then started
towards the back of the train, and as
they proceeded they gathered NEST of
the train crew, who had stepped off to
ascertain the reason for the sudden
stopp e. Of the train. When the rob-
bers had collected all the crew, the
latter were corralled and a guard
placed over them, and then they pro-
ceeded 10 their work of mulcting the
express and mail cars. They attacked
the mail car first and met with no
resistance. Pouch after pouch was
opened ard
RIFLED OF IT'S CONTENTS.
Then the letters, which had been
distributed in the pigeon holes, were
gone through deliberately, and all
their valuable contents extracted and
placed in receptacle, which the rob-
bers carried. After completing their
work in the mail car the robbers turned
their attention to the express car and
LOOTED IT OF IT'S CONTENTS
without the least objection from the
express messenger, who was powerless
to protectthe company's property with
such odds Having satisfied themselves
that they had secured all the valuables
in the express car, the gang then pro-
ceeded to the coaches and made a
clean sweep Of valuables in the posses
sion Of
THE TERRIFIED PASSENGERS.
Itwould have been more than folly
for the passengers or crew to resist, as
the band was made up OF eight deper-
ate looking men, and it was evident
from the way they went at the job that
they knew their business. While the
robbers prodeeded through the coaches
each passenger was compelled to hand
over mis- cash and jewelry. No violence
was offered, because every one gave up
quickly.
GLAD TO ESCAPE ALIVE.
The work OF the bandits was so de-
liberate and painstaking that it is be-
lieved they are old-timers. and that
they are the same gang who held up
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas train
night before last. They secured big
booty, but it is impossible to estimate
the loss.
A posse was organized as soon as it
was possible to advise the authorities
of the facts, and the deputies are on
hot trail Of the robbers. It is barely
possible that if the posse gets near the
gang fight will ensue.
