A Mobile and Ohio Train Robbed at For
est Lawn.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 6.-To-night
about 9 o'clock, the Mobile and Ohio
train which left here al S:35 o'clock
was held up by three robbers at Forest
Lawn, Ill.,, about four miles from East
st. Louis. This is the third time with
i'm the past six months that the same
road has suffered from robbers at this
point.
There is no telegraph Office at Forest
Lawn, and particulars are very hard to
obtain. Near Forest Lawn the Mobile
and Ohio runs through swamp. The
tracks have been built up high above it,
and il was along there that the robbery
occurred. 1t cannot be aScertaind at
this hour what the robbers obtained,
but it it is not thought the haul
amounted TO much. This Southern Ex-
press Company, which suffered heavily
by the previous robberies, has become
cautious and since the last one has not
made any heavy shipments on this
train.
1t Is just learned that the robbers
were frightened away before they could
get at the valuables in the express car.

The effects of the long strike among the
miners Is more noticeable now than it
has been at any previous time, and but
for the generous aid which has been
extended 10 the sufferers from
this town aud from other
sources, there would doubtless
have been several cases Of starvation TO
report. Having been for several months
entirely out of work, many of the men
have not a cent, are dependent entirely
upon charity for their subsistence. For
some weeks committees have been GO
ing up ana down the railroad begging
for means TO keep the women and chill
dreu alive. The merchants have been
generous and are constantly making
donations Of the,necessaries Of life. One
man offered 10 contribute whatever is
necessary up to 500 a day so long as the
strike lasted. All the people here are
doing what they can 10 alleviate the
suffering which exists. One man killed
his COW and divided the beef among his
less unfortunate neighbOrs, another
man killed his two hogs and in twenty
four hours they were all given away
