An Ohio Advocate Of Good Roads Plans
a Unique CampeIgu.
NlAssIILoN, Ohio, Feb. 81. S. Cox,
the good-road advocate, finding his eff
forts ia trying 10 effect the passage Of
resolutions in various city councils in
the state to issue $1,000 noninterest
bearing bonds futile, has decided upon
a much different and stronger plan. He
says: "There will be 100000 Of us. We
shall reach Washington on May 1, when
we will hold a grand meeting on the
steps of the capitol TO demand in the
name of the sovereign people the pas
sage Of the good roads bill and extern
sion of the right of municipalities to
issue noninterest bearing bonds and
secure notes thereon. We shall depend
upon the outpouring of the downtrod-
den people to sustain US in our mission
for the salvation of the republic. No
man will be permitted to carry firearms
OF any description. We want neither
anarchists nor communists. Let this
civilization that has created the com
muuists and anarchists take care OF
them and not US. Every man will carry
a white flag with the inscription;
Peace on earth, good will to man, but
death to interest on bonds.'' He will
use 100 of his own horses in the crusade
which he offers to those who volunteer

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, Jan. 1.-THE Bur-
lington Eli" leaving this city at 6:e5
was held up by three masked men
about three miles outside of this city
last evening, and the safe in the ex-
press car rified of its contents. The
''Eli' is the fast train between this
city and Chicago and makes but
few stops, all the local business being
done by the St Louis train which
follows it shortly afterward. Last
evening just as the train was get
ting under good headway the engineer
was startled to hear the explosion of
three torpedoes. which had been
placed on the track at the same time
a red lantern was swung across the
track in the regular style of brake
man. The wheels of the locomotive
had hardly ceased revolving when the
engineer and fireman heard gruff
voice from someone beneath the cab,
saying: ''Come down from there, we
want to use you for a little while"
The train men got off the cab and
were at once covered by several re-
volvers in the hands of masked men.
such they were, and one of them said
Come along with us and have your
friend, the express messenger, open
the door: he knows you better than he
does us, and we want to make call. "
Thus covered by the weapons the en-
gineer and fireman walked back to
the express car and asked the mes
senger to open the door Messenger
Wetzel was busy with his packages at
the time and. when the knocks came,
he instinctively suspected that mis-
chief was on foot. When the robbers
fired two or three shots he was cer-
tain and he kicked package of S1O,-
900 in bills consigned to the CONNER
cial National bank of Chicago under
the stove of the car. Then he opened
the door and the robbers entered.
in the car and this contained
only S47sO The men covered Wetzel
with rifles and revolvers. After they
had cleaned out the safe, with oaths
and grumbling they asked if that was
all there was in the car The messen-
ger assured them that it was and they
climbed down without looking about
the car.
In the meantime Postal Clerk Gage
had barred the doors of his car. and,
revolver in hand, was ready for the
bandits. The outlaws, however,
merely tried the door and did not at
attempt to break in. In consequence,
they missed another rich prize, for
the registered pouches We're the most
valuable sent from this city for
months.
All of the trainmen are of the
opinion that the robbers were anna
| teurs, for during the whole proceed
ings they appeared nervous and very
, much excited, and all of their work
seemed very much bungled.
