COULD Not IDENTIFY TIE REMAINS.
The Washington police boat Joe Black
burn with Mrs. Moskovits aboard,
who supposed the body of the man
found in Little Hunting Creek la +
week was that of her husband, proceed
ed to Mount Vernon this morning. The
Grave Of the unknown was opened and
The body removed. Mrs. Moskovits
recogrized the coat and vest as that
worn by her husband, but said the
trousers were not of the pattern or tex
ture worn by him. Owing to the high
state OF puirelaction, the body having
lain in the grave for some time, it was
impossible for the lady to say positively
that the remains were those of her hus-
band, and they were reinforced. Wheth-
er the man who's body was buried com,
mitted suicide or was murdered still
remains a secret.

satisfactory. as thousands can testify. Proper

in general use afford but temporary relief. A

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERs.


A Texas Pacific Train Held Up In Broad
Daylight.
WEATHERFoRD. Texas. Oct 2O.-The
west bound passenger train on the
Texas Pacific railway. which left here
At 1920 yesterday morning. was held
up and robbed by four men near Cor
Ion about noon The correspondent
learned from Mr.. J. B. Young Of Cor
don, who was on the west bound train
last evening, that at point about
two miles this side of Gordon four
men. unmasked, approached the sec
ton gang and forced them to obstruct
the road and flag the train as it APP
preached, and when the train was
stopped the bandits forced the express
messenger to open the door of the
express car They also forced the
section men to 90 INTO the car with a
sledge hammer and try to batter the
their efforts to open the safe were I'M
fruitful The messengers way safe

there was IN il was taken by the rob

timated. runs nyWhere between $500
and S.. 600. To-day being pay day
at Thur Der for the large mum Der of
hands that work at the mines there
was in the combination safe $50. 600
consigned to the Pacific Coal com pa
ny, which was to pay of the hands
Suspicious characters have been
seen for the past month or 50 in that
section, and the express company was
pref pared for the attack. as they had
on the train one of their special COM
bination safes to which no agent
along the route knew the com bina-
ton. The express company had a
special man back in the coach who
knew the ombinatiOn to the safe
AID who would come forward at sta
tions where be was needed and open
the safe. The passengers and mail
cars were not molested by the rob
berS.
After the robbery was committed
the four robbers walked away toward
the noun taius, whistling going in a
southerly direction. The Texas and
Pacific Coal company of Thurber have
offered $500 reward for the capture of
the robbers The train was in charge
of Conductor J. II. McLoud, the ex-
press car in charge of Messenger Gay
There were no shots fred during the
robbery and it IS considered one of
the bOldest train rObberies ever re-
corded in the country for long time
1T is thought the robbers are from
the Indian territory and are now on
their way back Posses are out after
them. and there is some hope of cap
turing them
The point at which the train was
stopped was just at the foot of the
Clay ton mountains, about two miles
east of the place at which an east
bound train was robbed a fey years
ago.

was presided over by Mrs. j. N. Grouse,
president of the kindergarten assOcia-
ton. Almost every state of the union
and several territories were represented.
The range of subjects discussed was
wide one and included about everything
from the subtle effects of prenatal in
fiuence upon the baby mind TO the del
eterious effects of candy between meals
upon the baby stomach.
One doting mamma created a sensation
by declaring that she put her baby in
bag at night but the sensation died ont
when she explained that the bag was
simply used for the purpose Of prevent
ing the youngster from kicking eff his
clothes and acquiring a bad attack Of
the ever musical collie. Another mother
said that her 6-year- old boy had broken
up about everything III the house except
the kitchen range, which he was still
at work on. and she wanted to know if
any girl could be such a terror as
that boy. ''Or is a boy more Of an ami
NAL than girl?'' she asked
AS there were 700 women and only
about a dozen scared men in the hall,
the conyocation found no difficulty in ar
irving at the conclusion that not only
boys of g, but boys of from to 80, are
somehow nearer to primitive nature
imam are girls ana women
DR.. Norman Bridge caused a futter
in motherly hearts by declaring the
somewhat 1conoclastic doctrine that
fruit was not good for growing children
and that candy was better. DR.. W W.
Jaggard, a specialist in gynecOlogy, also
made the interesting statement that it
was impossible for a woman to infiu-
ence the character and appearance Of
her child before birth, save by proper
attention to hygienic rules. Among the
interested spectators at the convention
were several babies who attempted TO
informally address the meeting now and
then, but were either promptly silencsd
or carried from the hall

Gallant Record of President Dodge OF the
Army of the Tennessee.


General Granville NJ. Dodge, who
was recently reelected president Of the
Society OF the Army Of the Tennessee,
has a wide reputation as a gallant sol
der and capable railroad engineer. He
is native Of Danvers, Mass, and is. IS
years old. In 1850 he was graduated
from a military academy in Norwich,
VT, and a year later began promising
career as railroad surveyor. When the
civil war began, the governor Of Iowa
sent him to Washington to obtain arms
for state troops. and on June IL of that
year he became colonel of the Fourth
Iowa regiment, which he had raised.
He served in Missouri under General
Fremont, and early in 1862 opened Gen
eral Curtis Arkansas campaign. He
commanded a brigade at the battle of
Pea Ridge, where three horses were shot
under him in the thick of the fight. He
was severely wounded in the side, but
continued directing the movements Of
his men until the final rout of the enc
my. For his bravery he was made brig
adler general of volunteers. In June,
1862, while in command Of the district
of the Mississippi, he superintendent the

construction of the Mississippi and Ohio
railroad. He was one of the first men
to organize regiments of colored troops,
and during the Vicksburg campaign he
made frequent raids into the enemy's
country and indirectly protected the
TANKS of both Grant and Rosecrans.
General Grant had very high opin-
ion of his services and placed his name
at the head Of his list of officers recon-
mended for promotion. Brave and meri-
torious conduct at the battles of Sugar
Valley and Resaca caused his promotion
to major general in June, 1864. In
Sherman's Georgia campaign Dodge led
the Sixteenth corps, and at Atlanta July
%, backed by II regiments, he with
stood the attack of General Hoods en-
tire army corps On Aug. 10, at the seige
of Atlanta, he was so severely wounded
that he was incapacitated from service.
In December he succeeded Rosecrans as
commander of the department of Mis-
souri,. In 1 S66 he left the army, and the
Union Pacific railroad was built under
his supervision. He served one term in
congress and succeeded General Sber-
man as president of the Society Of the
Army of the Tennessee when Sherman
died.
