A PASSENGERS STORY.
TOLEDO, o., Sept. 1.-Two conduc-
tors who were passengers on the rob-
bed train live in Toledo. Covert, one
of them, says that about 1850 one of
the brakemen awakened me and said
that some men were holding the train
up. We went forward to the baggage
car. 1t was filed with trainmen and
passengers and they were taking turns
at peeping out of the door into the
derkness. Every few minutes shot
was fired in the direction of the open
ing by the guards ON the outside. No
one could do anything. The baggage
car was next to the express car, which
was in charge of the robbers. They
had blown the bottom out of the car,
completely stunning two of the express
messengers Then they covered them
with revolver ands rifled the safe.
No one could tell how much they got.
Three men were in the express car, and
| should judge there must have been
in all between five and 10 men holding
up the train. The stop was made in a
lonely part of the country in cut east
of Kendallville. The robbers threw.
the switch open in front of the engine.
James Knapp. engineer, was shot
through the right shoulder by one of
them. There must have been 300 peo-
pie on the train. A great many of
them got off here.
There was considerable excitement.
Women were awake and frightened
half to death, and one of them tainted.
the train was unnolested with the ex'
ception of the express car. We were
held up just one hour.
SUSPECT ARRESTED.
PERU, Ind, Sept. IA man giving
the name of G. A. Belden of Pocatillo,
Idaho, and supposed to be one of the
robbers of the Lake Shore train at
Kendallville last night, has just been

Chambers In the City.

Yesterday DR.. Quisenberry report
ed to Judge Won Rosenberg that q
horse that he had been attending on
for several days, the property of 9. y
Martin q Co., was afflicted with
CHAMBERS and under the law should be
appraised and destroyed. Judge Won
Rosenberg appointed committee Of
whom DIR. Rogers was member, but
owing to the DOCTORS absence the conn
mittee did not examine the horse yes
terday, but will do so today and
report to the county judge. 1t would
be we'll for horse owners to be exceed
ingly careful with their horses, and
the authorities might proftably clean
out and disinfect all the watering
troughs in the city, as the disease is
the most malignant one that affiicts
the equine race and is equally conta-
gious and fatal to the human family.
Mr.. Martin has kept his horse secure-
ly isolated since the disease first deg
veloped.

THE PROMISED LAND,
HOmeSsskers Making Life and Death
struggle for Registration.

| ARKANSAS CRY, Sept. 10.-Durinl
the night the line of patient home
seekers waiting before the r, gistratior
booths increased visibly and was aug
mented this morning by the arrival o.
a second harvest excursion over the
Santa Fe. 1t came in three sections
and contained over 5000 people. Dur
ing the night it was found that a
great many boomers had been run
| into the line ahead of rightful boom
ers. When those rightfully in line
discovered this they resented it saw
agely and number of fights occurr-
ed. 1t would not have taken much
to have started fierce fight, but
counsel of cooler heads prevailed and
plan was Immediately set on foot to
spoil the sooners' game. The whole
line was divided off into squads of ten
men with a captain and book keeper
appointed who made complete roll.
When the booths were opened this
morning the general officer of the line
aud bookkeeper stood at the gate of
booth and called out the number and
name of each man who stepped up
and registered. This method facilitat-
ed registration and averted trouble.
The first certificate was issued this
morning to sick woman, who had
been in line two days. When night
fell yesterday the long line of dusty,
thirsty tired men and women sank
wearily down in the dust to pass an
other miserable night.
One old man dropped dead in the
line at the booth during the evening.
He wore the uniform of an old soldier,
but his name and home could not be
obtained. He was removed in @
boomer wagon. He had been in the
line since the evening before. Many
are seriously sick through exposure
to sun and dust and for want of proper
food, etc. Everything is as dry as
tinder and everyone is praying for rain.
If rain does not come soon great
danger confronts the home seekers
when they at last get into the prom
ised land. The prairie is SO dry that
the least spark will start priarie fires
which would soon spread and un-
doubtedly cause loss Of life, surely of
an immense amount of property If
the drouth continues horses must soon
succumb also
The sheriff drove the gamblers at
the booths from the road yesterday
but they got on the strip and robbed
every one who would go against their
games. One of them robbed young
farmer in the line of $l5. AS soon as
it became generally known among his
friends they took the gambler and had
it not been for the soldiers who inter
fered they would have strung him up.

4 Wondsriui MachiLa.

The Is no doubt that man is fac
mecnansn, but like every other ma.
chine he wears out by friction 1t is
said he is born again every two OIL
three years. His body is virtually re-
made from food. To retard this max.
ing over is radically wrong. as a man
loses so much vitality in the delayed
process that it takes a long time to re.
cuperate. The process of making
anew is so accelerated by pufging
with Brandreth's Pills that nav
man, as it were, may be made in two
or three months, and the change in
the mechanism is such that the worn
out part is replaced by the new with
out the usual running down of the Ell.
tire machine. You don't have to stop
for repairs. Purge away with Bran
dreth's Pills the old, diseased and
worn out body. They are purely
vegetable, absolutely harmless, and
safe to take at any time.

MEXICAN BOUNDARY QUESTION.
For the present at least the boun-
Diary trouble growing out of the seiZ
ure of sheep by the Mexican customs
officials on what was claimed to be
Texan soil is brought to an end. After
Secretary Gresham and the president
had several conferences over the mat
ter an agreement was reached by
which it was decided to authorize Ma
jor Keys to surrender it to the Mexican
officials This will leave the sheep in
possession of the owners. The ques-
ton of definite boundary line
will, it is expected, be re-
ferred to mixed commits
sion which has had similar problems
to unravel heretofore and which is pro-
vided for by international treaty.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS,
sENATOR STEWART EXHIBITS HIS AN
TAGONIsM TO NATIONAL BANKS.
introduced a Resolution to Ascertain What
Senators We're Stockholders in Such
Banks-Pugh Relieves Himself Of
Speech in Opposition to Repeal.
SENATE.

ShEAlh.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lin the SEN
ate this morning Senator Stewart
(Rep., New submitted a resolution
providing for committee of five SEN
ators to ascertain and report whether
any senator was interested as a stock
holder or otherwise in any national
bank.
Senator Hill (N. W opposed the res
olution on the ground that it was un-
called for and unnecessary and a re-
Election on senators.
The resolution, being objected to-,
went over until tomorrow.
The repeal bill was then taken up
Senator Pugh (Dem., Ala.) spoke in
opposition to it.
Senator Pugh said if the Sherman
law was repealed to restore confidence
among money lenders the lion among
the toiling millions would be awakened
and his roar would shake the conti-
nent. He said it was the determined
and unalterable purpose of the op
ponents of repeal to stand upon their
convictions of public duty and fidelity
to their pledges to the people whom
they represented and who honored
them with their confidence on this
vital question until their physical
strength was exhausted. When Sena.
tor Pugh finished at $3.50 p. m., the
visitors in the galleries warmly ap-
plauded him.
Senator Teller took the floor and re-
sumed his speech begun Saturday
against the repeal bill. Senator Tel
Ter continued his arguments to show
that the panic was not due to the
Sherman law.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.-Another

ing 100000 for relief of cyclone suffer-
ers in Beaufort, s. G.
The house adjourned until tomor-
row.

CAPITAL NOTES.
THE ENDLESS DEBATE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - There
is a good deal of speculation
as to how much longer the debate on
the repeal bill now in progress will
last. 1t has been announced that 80
senators have arranged to speak and
that besides these 10 or dozen Others
may decide to take hand before the
conclusion of the debate. Should this
prove true it is more than probable
that snow will be flying before the
matter is settled even if a compromise
is ultimately agreed upon. The final
vote will not be taken earlier than
about the first week in October. Sill
yer senators still insist that vote can
not be reached at all without the Clo-
ture rule. Under the rules of the sen.
ate there is no provision whatever for
shutting off debate and it is not prob
able that such rules will be adopted.
TROUBLE IN NICARAGUA.
The new secretary of the navy has
issued orders to the commandant of
Norfolk navy yard to prepare the
cruiser Detroit for sea at once. Her
destination is said to be Greytown,
Nicaragua, where the department sur
misses that trouble has again broken
out. 1t is presumed that other war
ships in addition to the Alliance on
that coast is deemed necessary for the
protection of our interests Both the
state and navy departments have
made efforts this week to reach our
representatives in Nicaragua and their
inability to do so is taken as an indi-
cation that a revolution has began
which necessitates absolute control by
one of the parties of the telegraph
lines
CONVENTION OF BOARDS OF TRADE.
1t is predicted that the greatest
meeting Of business men that has ever
taken place in Washington, II not il
the United States, will assemble here
tomorrow 1t is a convention OF all
the boards Of trade Of the country
which will continue for about four
days to discuss the present financial
outlook and will possibly result in the
establishment in Washington of a
board of trade headquarters that can
be in constant touch with COMPRESSION
al legislation on all branches of indus
try throughout the country. This
part of the program has not been
definitely decided on, however, ana the
principle business of the convention will
be to discuss other matters, which Will
mean incidentally a great many other
questions connected with trade, man
ufactures and transportation. Dele
gates will comprise leading business
representatives OF the respective GU
les, including merchants, bankers,
manufacturers and transportal!on
men. Delegates to the convention
will number between 1000 and 1000.

Silver Dollars by Wholesale.
EBBERToN, Ga, Sept. 1.-THE ar
rest of 90 men scattered through Jack
son and Elbert counties charged with
wholesale counterfeiting silver dollars
has stirred up the whole country. OF
late money was flush about the little
town Of Clarksburg, in jackson county.
A man went to Danielsville to trade
and boasted that he had free coinage
of his own. This remark was so sig
nitlcant that United States Deputy
Marshal Elder was sent for and in less
than "a hours the whole plot, as we'll
as % prisoners we've in his possession.
The means adopted was to make the
dollars in large quantities. then coun-
terfeiters would scatter them all over
the adjoining towns, purchasing 5
cent articles and getting back 90 cents
in good money. Twelve men were ar
rested in Danielsville, nine in this
town and two in Jefferson. Deputy
Marshal Elder refuses to talk further
than to say that he has found the
biggest affair of the kind on record.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-An event OF
worldwide historic interest, one never
before accomplished, took place in
Chicago today. 1t was the assembling
of a parliament of religions, gather
ing of representatives of all the great
beliefs of the world. No such i'm
mense crowd has gathered before dur.
ing all the memorable series of con-
crosses since the beginning Of the
Worlds fair. Aside from the size of
the crowd it was even more distin-
guished by cosmopolitanism which
some enthusiasts declared had never
been exceeded from the beginning Of
the world. Among those present were
Pung Kwang Yu, the confucan sec
retary of the Chinese legation at
Washington; H. Dharmapala, Nor
thern Buddhist, secretary OF the Ma
hah- -Bodhi society of India; Virchand
r. Candhi, secretary Jain association

BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION


LONDON, Sept. 10.-An official dis
patch received by the Brazilian lega-
tion here seems to throw light upon
affairs in that republic. The message
says Rio de Janerio Is in o state of per-
feet tranquility, alarming reports to
the contrary. The streets wear the
usual aspect, Congress continues
communication and has just declared
state of siege but added that the
government prefers not to be obliged
to carry out the workings of the mar
tial law. There was significant end.
ing to the message however, and that
is that it is admitted that the insur-
gents have attempted to make several
landings at various points but they
were refused and appear to be thor
oughly disheartened and likely to sur
render at any moment.
