MISSOURI TRAIN ROBBERS.

The Authorities We're Posted on the
Movements of the Bandits.
ST.. JOSEPH, Sept. 25.-IJ appears that
the gang which was so neatly foiled in
the attempt to hold up the Kansas City.
st. Joseph IL Council Bluffs train last night
has been plotting robberies since early
last August, but on two or three occa-
sions their plans went awry, owing to
unforeseen circumstances.
The police and railway officials have
been kept informed of the robbers inten-
tions. and were prepared to meet them
on each occasion. Hearst, Fredericks
and Carver, the men who were placed
under arrest. it now appears, were not
genuine robbers, but decoys in the en-
plOy of the authorities. AS soon as the
firing began they dropped to the ground
from the car to avoid flying bullets.
The robbers had dynamite enough
with them to blow the car to pieces and
threatened to use it unless the car was
opened. The sticks of dynamite had
fuses with Eliminating caps attached.
Fred Keller, one of the dead robbers,
was only 10 years of age. He leaves
young widow.
LATER.-Heury Geitze. said to be the
sixth and last member of the gang, was
captured at $50 O'Clock this morning at
the house of Mary Elsners, in South st.
10. His pockets were full of ammuni-
ton, and three fingers of his left hand
had been shot of. He denies having
taken any part in the attempted robbery,
but refuses doggishly to talk further.

SATURDAY NIGHTS EXPLOSION.

The Police Endeavoring TO Find Out
Who Is Responsible for 1t.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 25.-The police
are securing the town to obtain clue to
the identity of the fiends who caused
Saturday nights explosion. Chief of
Police Crowley says he believes the Coast
Seamen's Union is responsible for the
deed and that members of the union
knew that the explosion was to occur.
The Chief this morning ordered the ar
rest of Secretary Fureseth of the union.
and he was taken into custody. Fureseth
vigorous pumping of the police failed to
extract any information from him.
Governor Markham has offered a re-
ward, Chief Crowley added to it, and the
Ship-owners' Association put up an in
dependent $500, making total of s., 700.
The theory is that among such dastardly
towards as the men capable of such work
there must be some traitor whom gold
will bait sufficiently to back up the fear
that prompts the turning informer.
Chief Crowley detailed half dozen de-
tectives to-day to aid Detective Egan and
Sergeant Helms of the Harbor police in
the search for the men who planned and
carried out the deed of death. The Chief
is driving his men with whip and spur.
and that he is in deadly earnest is shown
by the amount of work he is doing in
person.
The Directors of the Shipowners' Asso-
citation held a long session during the
afternoon, al which they added $500 to the
rewards mentioned above, and donated
$50 toward the burial ex penses of Edward
Murphy and James McGuiness. the two
sailors killed by the bomb The senti-
ment OF the sh1powners, as manifested at
the meeting, from which not a single di-
rector was absent, was very strong in
favor of crushing the Sailors Union out
of existence. President Simpsons idea
that there could be no safety for life or
property as long as the Union had a
sem blance of life, was concurred in by
every man present, and one result of the
horror of Saturday night is that now the
Union will have to make a defensive
fight for existence instead of an offensive
fight tor patronage.
By special resolution it was agreed that
the members ofthe Shipowners' Associa-
ton are ready and willing to risk their
property and spend their money in ex-
hausting every means to lend the reign
of terror" in the language of the agree
ment, so long conducted by the organiza-
ton.
In the argument over the responsibility
of the union for the past outrages, it was
decided that the association does not
charge the unions officers with directly
melting or inducing the members to such
awful deeds of bloodshed and destruc-
ton. but it does charge them with stirring
them up by speech and action in a man
ner calculated to make individual mem
bers take just such steps of war.
