-HOLD-UP' ON THE 20"
BURLINGTON FLYER IS ROBBED
NEAR ST. JOE.
Torpedoes Placed ON the Track-rhe Ex-
press Car Riaed-Force the Messenger
to Open tho safe-Registered Mail Car
eied on.
Work of N1asked Men.

Five men held up the Hannibal and
st. Joseph fast train, ELI, !" Wednesday
night, four miles east Of st. Joseph,
NO., and robbed the express and mail
cars. The men placed torpedces on
the track and swung red lantern to
stop the train, and as 1t slowed up three
men climbed into the engine cab. Re-g
volvers were thrust into the faces of
the engineer and fireman and they
were told to throw up their hands. 1t
was an old-fashioned robbery. but it
was successful in every detail. The
engineer and fireman were forced to
walk back in front OF the robbers to
the door of the express car,
and the messenger was. told to open
the door. Express Messenger G.
B. Wetzel did not suspect that
there we're robbers outside, and when
he heard the engineer calling, he
opened the door. As he did SO two of
the robbers leaped in. They secured
the contents of the safe. The mail car
was entered in the same manner as the
express car. The mail agents were un-
armed and made no resistance. 1t is
reported that a registered pouch was
carried off by the robbers. Other mail
pouches were cut open and rifled, and
everything of value in sight was
taken. Inc passengers were not ais
turbed. AS soon as the train had been
robbed it proceeded on its way.
The rear brakeman, John Ryan, had
been sent back to flag approaching
trains. When the robbers released
the train it left without calling in the
brakeman. He secured a horse and
rode back to the city, where he re-
ported at once to the railroad officials.
Only three shots were fired by the
robbers, and they We're fired in the air.
Express Messenger Wetzel open I'd the
safe, with two revolvers pointed
at his head. He saw but two
of the men. All of the robbers carried
two revolvers and there were two
rifles in their possession. Wetzel says
one of the men was short, wore black
coat and overcoat and black Derby hat.
The other wore adouble-breasted coat,
no overcoat, and was tall and slender.
The other three robbers stood in the
dark and could not be described. All
wore masks.
An attempt was made to rob Bur-
lington train near ST. Joe on Sept. %,
1893, and two of the robbers were
killed. The railroad officials believe
that the robbery Wednesday night was
committed by some of the same gang
who made their escape in the darkness
from the first attempted robbery.

Theodore F. Baker, paying teller OF
the Consolidated National Bank, of
Philadelphia, stood before United

charged with emhezzling $47 .6UO from

twenty years. In default of $4,000
bail he was committed to prison. A
short time ago bookkeeper named

shortage of $4,000. The discovery and
fear that suspicion might fall on him
SO worried him that he fell i'll, and
while sick he contided the mat er to
his physician, and at the same time
protested his innocence. The physician
called at the bank and told Van Duzen's

bill. The bill will be made the untin-
ished business and be kept before the
Senate until passed or defeated. 1t is
understood that the Democratic Sem
ators have decided to refrain from ex-
tended debate on this subject and will
content themselves with two or three
ators Gray, Bate and Hill. The Re-
publican speakers will be Senators
Ledge, Frye, Chandler and Hoar, and
perhaps others. The present expecta-
tion is that the debate will consume at
least two weeks.
Coming events will cast their shad-
ows before in the shape of a tariff
speech, to be delivered by Senator
Gallinger, of New Hampshire. OF
course there is always present possi-
bility of resolutions and speeches on
the subject of Hawaii during the morn
ing hours, and this probability is re-
duced almost to a certainty by the re-
Gently published correspondence. But
tariff will be the almost exclusive talk
in the House. The House will take
up the consideration of the bill
under the five minute rule, and
the paragraphs will be open to
