cifc Eight Men Clean Out the
Mail and Express Car.

PARSONS, KAs.. December 24.-An-
other and the boldest train robberies
ever psrpetrated has been recorded in
the Indian Territory. The robbery oc-
Cured about o'clock tonight at Sem
mole, small station on the Kansas
and Arkansas railwpy which is a divis-
ion of the Missouri Pacific.
The train robbed was No. 952, train
bound for Little Rock, Ark. As the
train approached Seminole, the engi-
neer saw a danger signal ahead and
slowed up. being under the impression
that be was being tagged to meet an
other train. As the train neared the
switch, ho oWever, the engineer perceived
that fat car had been run out
of the side track onto the main line and
red light placed on the car. AS soon as
the train reached the obstruction the
engine was boarded by two or three
men who commanded the engineer and
fireman to Jump out OF the cab, which
they did with aacrity. AS they cid so
they were confronted by half dozen
other men
ARMED TO THE TEETH
with Winchesters and revoIvers. A de-
tachment OF the bandits then started
towards the back Of the train and as
they proceeded gathered the rest Of the
train crew who had stepped of to as
certain the reason for the sudden stop
ping Of the train. When the robbers
had collected ali the crew they were cor
rallied and a guard placed over them and
they proceeded TO their work of
mutilating the express and mail cars.
They attacked the mail car first and
met with no resistance from the mail
clerk. Pouch after pouch was opened
and rihed OF It's contents. Then the
letter which had been distributed in the
pigeon holes were gone through deiber-
ately and all their valuable contents ex-
tracted and placed In receptacle which
the robbers carried.
After completing their work in the
mail car the robbers turned their at
teuElOQ 10 Lub express Cdi anu l'OtSu ~
of its contents without the least OBJ &c
tlon from the express messenger, who
was powerless to protect the company's
property against such odds. Having
satisfied themselves that they had Sc
cured all the valuables in the
express car the gang then pro-
ceeded through the coaches and
made a clean sweep OF all
valuables in the possession OF the ter
rorized passengers. II would have
been more than folly for the passengers
or crew to resist, as the band was made
up of eight desperate looking men. 1t
was evident from the way they went at
the Job that they knew their business.
While the robbers proceeded through
the coaches, each passenger was COM
peled 10 hand over his cash and jew
elry.
No violence was offered, because
every one gave up and was glad to es.
cape with whole skin. They secured
big booty, but no estimate can be given
of the loss. A posse was organized as
soon as it was possible TO advise the
authorities of the facts and the deputies
are hot on the trail of the robbers.

The MohIoan Bound for hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, December "a.
1t was learned here to-day that the
United States man Of war Mohican, is
to be dispatched to Honolulu on
Wednesday. Sailing orders have al
ready been received and there is unu-
sual activity at Mare Island preparing
the crusier for sea. The vessel has
been ordered TO take deck load OF coal
in addition to the usual supply and it is
evident an effort will be made to force
the Mohican's old engines TO make time.
The coal beavers at Mare Island are to
have no Christmas holiday, so positive
is the order to equip the Mohican for
sea without loss of time. Inasmuch as
the Steamship Australia sailed for
Honolulu yesterday and could have
carried all necessary advices to Minis
ter Willis, the inference is there must be
some urgent reason for strengthening
the United States naval force at Homo
lulu.

Singapore's Railway,

1t is remarkable to think of the ma
terial progress of the age. The news
comes that the Island of Singapore now
possesses IA railway one mile long, which
is the commencement of a proposed cleo
trio line intended to be laid down be-
tween the town of Singapore and the
village of Kranji. The town of Johore
lies on the other side of the straits,
which are here one mile across, exactly
opposite the village of Eranji and on
the southernmost point of the Malay
peninsula. The need of convenient COM
munication between the two towns has
long been felt, and if the scheme is car
ried through it will be of great benefit
to the trade snd to all visitors to the
beautiful Island of Singapore.

worth Experimenting With.

The American cabman and his passen-
ger so often disagree over their fare that
1t might be worth while adopting sys-
tenn used in several English towns. An
indicator of fares is fixed in the cab, and
when the passenger enters the driver is
bound TO place the index at the fare due
for the distance proposed, thus prevent
ing all wrangling on reaching the goal.
Some such plan is in preparation also in
Paris.

NEW HAVEN. Aug. 27.-A new feature
dovoloped to-day In tho case of tho disaI.
pcarauco Of Louis L. Norton. Yesterday
Burton II. Dorinan of 23 Dorinan street
called on young Norton's father. He said
that on Friday afternoon he was CLAM
ming ON the fats on the east side OF the
barbor above the old fort. Between aud
q o'clock he saw boat containin. party
of about half q dozen Italians pass him OH
the way down tho harbor. A little later
he saw young man, wearing straw het,
rowing in the same direction. The young
man, who was all alone. was soon fol-
lowcd by another boat, conta lining party
of rougl.lookina Italians.
Dorman paid no particular attention 10
tho men, but kept on clamning. A little
later Dornnn heard some ono cry out.
.Don't, don't. Leave me alone" He
looked up. but all no could SEQ was three
or four boats in bunch quito distances
below him.
II was suggested this morning that per.
haps tho Italians may have started to rob
Norton's clothes while he was in swim
ming, and when he attempted to stop
them some Of tho party struck him ovei
the head with an oar. This could have
been done In broad daylight, in tho harbor
without attracting the attention OF this
c,aninsrs on the fats or tho fishermen on
the jetty. The police don't take much
stock in the theory that Norton Was as
sauitetl. but they are confident that his
