KINGSTON, n. NJ, Aug. 1G.-There is a
great rush Of miners and citizens from
here to the gold mines Of Animas Peak,
twelve niles north.
Charles Mueller and Jno Tanning. who
left here some weeks ago for the mines,
came ID yesterday for supplies. TIE
late rains have given an abundance of
water for placer ming, and in Green
horn gulch alone there are sixty rockers
at work besides Those who ars panniug.
This ia the largest number of men at
work in any one gulch, but there are
many IN Red, Chance, Wicks and
minor gulches. There are nov 800 men
in the dist let. and each day brings new
arrivals. The men average more than

Sr. Louis, No, Aug. 1.-THE Frisco
train, No. 4, due to arrive this morning,
was held up by two men at st. James,
Mo-, .his morning and robbed. The
safe was opened but the amount taken
is unknown.
1t seems that the two men got on
board the train at Rolla tank, hiding
between the tender and express car.
When they were two miles from ST.
James they forced their way through
the front door of the car. Before the
surprised Wells-Fargo messenger, E. P.
Ferguson, could collect himself, they
away, ard in a few minutes compelled
him to open the way to the safe, from
which they distracted the valua bles.
A sharp pull on the bell cord brought
the engine to hat. The robbers
opened a side door of the car and.
jumping out, made their escape in a
nOrtherly direction, firing few shots AS
they left the car to COW the trainmen
and passengers.
The train was run to ST. james and
posse Immediately started 10 pursuit.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug 1s.-The re-
publican state convention assembled
at II o'clock.
After a temporary organization was
perfected the convention was addressed
by ex-senator Harlon, who regarded the
present financial stu ltion as favorable
to the recovery of control OF the gov
eminent by the republicans. Ee urged
upon the convention the necessity for
harmony on the prohibition question.
The convention was largely att nded
and enthusiastic liberal republicans
seem to have wrested the control Of the
convention from the prohibi;iouists.
TIE contest has now narrowed down
to jackson and Young for COVE rnOr, but
unless either one receives the nOmina
ton on the first or second ballots II is
likely to go 10 a third man, General
Drake being most frequently spoken of.
Ex-senator Hurlon Is also being men
toned for the nCminrtion.
LONDON, Aug. 16-A Bombay special
says: The city rs liz the hands Of mad
MOB, determined to loot residences aCd
make bloody reprisals on Mohammedans
within lis walls The local forces,
apparently, are poWerl ss to guell the
disturbances. Excitment is growing
continually and Mohammedans with
their families are seeking protection
from the military.
The mob has made most determined
s8llies against the mos lues, which have
been burned and whose walls, in many
ins stances, il has r:Zed TO the street.
There are fires in many parts of the
CITY. Ia a great majority of instances
the firemen have been prevented from
trying, even. to save some Of the most
beautiful building Of the city. !
The -uiitary force is so limited it can
10 nothing more than protect The prop
erty Of the government. There are
several ar ships lie the guf and the |
English residents have asked the COM |
manders for cooperation, TO the extent |
of BON harding the city, unless the riots |
are quelIed within a few hours. If this |
is done it will probably mean the de
structiOn OF the city and the loss Of
thousands IF lives, with the annIbIiatlOn |
of millions OF pounds OF property.
LATER-No RENEWAL.
