IT WAS MIRACULOUS.
The Narrow Escape Of Nearly Two
Hundred Persons From In
slant Death.
DYNAMITE ON THE TRACKS
Within a Few Feet of a Car Con-
tanning Ten Tons of the
Explosive.

ST. LOUIS, Aug A most remark
able feature of the attempt at train rob
berry near Eureka, NO., was the escape
of the entire train and 1872 persons upon
it from absolute destruction. Despera-
does who were undoubtedly accomplices
Of the fellow with whom Express Mes
senger Ferguson had fight, forced
open o car of dynamite that stood On
the side track below the station at
Eureka and stole two big dynamite cart
ridges that were intended for heavy
blasting in quarries and mines. Each
cartridge was capable of tearing to pieces
tons OF solid rock. They were placed by
the dastardly bandits ON the rails, the
intention being to destroy the train and
plumber the richly laden express car and
probably the passengers. Il is miracle
that the entire train was not hurled to
destruction, for the devils who attempt
ed to wreck it placed the cartridges
within few feet Of o car which con-
tanned
Ten Tons Of Dynamite.
-1hen they secreted themselves and
waited for the train that was to arrive
ssw minutes before 10 o'clock. The
train left st. Louis at $3.50 o'clock, and
was only o few minutes behind, the de-
lay having been caused by the shooting
of the express messenger by one Of the
robbers. When the forward wheels of
the engine rolled ON the cartridges,
there was o terrific explosion which
lifted the machine from the track, and
tore the massive point from the bolts
rivetted 70 the engine. All the forward
part of the machine was wrecked and
twisted, and although it was able to
carry the train few miles beyond, it
was 30 badly wrecked that another en-
gine had 10 be procured. The entire
train was severely shaken, the windows
broken and the packages Of letters
thrown from the boxes In the mail car.
Little sAart Of lEiracaIous.
IL il wonderful how the carload OF
dynamite escaped. The explosion tore
q great hole in the earth, wrested the
rails from their fastenings, and nung
the ties In every direction. It tore open
one side Of the dynamite car and exposed
to view toms OF the powerful explosive.
Yet, for some unaccountable reason, this
great mass Of dynamite, with energy
enough 10 blow an entire city on the
earth, did not explode. III il had, mot a
person in all that train would have es-
capped.
