ROBBERS THWARTED.

The United States officers togeth-
er with those of Waco and McClel-
land county were notified, on Mon
day last, that an attempt would be
made, on Thursday night, the 22nd,
instant, to rob Wells, Fargo g. Cos,
safe on the Waco and Northwes-
tern. The information came from
sources considered perfectly reliable
and therefore ample preparations
were made to meet the robbers and
kill or capture them Deputy
United States Marshal Cliff Tor
renee, Constable Harry Crowder
and two special officers employed by
the railroad company secreted
themselves in the baggage car and
messages were wired to Marlin, Rea-
gan and Bremond directing other
officers to meet the train at the
points named
The information received stated
that the attack would be made on
the train at a point where the rail
way approaches the Brazos river,
and that the robbers would board
the train at various points.
At Waco and Reagan suspicious
characters got on the train and the
officers believe that the attack
would have been made but for a
posse Of four young men who had
been notified of the intended at
tack. This posse entered the pas
senger car with guns, and this caus-
ed the robbers to abandon the at
tempt and leave the train.
There is universal disappointment
felt and expressed among the good
citizens of Waco over the easy es-
cape of the would-be train robbers,
for whom there awaited fitting
reception and certain capture, had
they not halted in their undertak-
ing. 1t would appear that the
guards, procured to protect the
train from the bandits, were less
careful than the exigencies of the
case demanded owing to their lack
of experience in the performance
Of such duties, giving the would-be
robbers, who were old hands at the
business, a sufficient warning of
what was going on to cause an
abandonment of their nefarious de-
sign

Mahara's Minstrels.

We copy the following from late
Louisville exchange: "a big and
brilliant audience filed the Buck
ingham theatre last night to well
come w. A. Mahara's mammoth
colored operate minstrels, their
first appearance in the city. The
company possesses merit far above
the average Of minstrel shows.
Showing the demand of civilization
for something to laugh at, they
carried the house by storm Moon
light terpischore won the esthetic
souls in the audience. 1t is worth
the price of admission to see the
ebony colored son of Momus, Billy
Farrell in his side-splitting comical
comicalities and funny falls. The
drum major drill can't be excelled;
in fact each and every artist in this
company is a living photograph of
fun, and in all it is the best all
around minstrel show that has Wis
tied Louisville for a number of
years"
The above company will make its
initial appearance at Ghio's opera
house on Thursday, March 1st.

EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS.
A Disposition to Make no Further
Appropriations For the Work,

The farming element throughout
the country have expressed gener-
al alarm over the suggestion of
Congress not to make appropria-
tionS for continuing the work of
agricultural experimental Stations.
From the annual report of the sec
retary of agriculture, mention of
these institutions were omitted, and
when the matter was called to the
attention of the secretary, he ex-
planned that as the department was
not given supervision over the sta
tions he did not think its expense
should be charged to the depart
ment in appropriation estimates.
To urge the continuation of gov
ernment support for the stations,
and combat the proposal to place
them under the management of the
department, Gen. j. ii. Brigham,
of Delta, o., addresses the house
committee on agriculture yester-
day. He said the experiment sta
tion is essentially an educational in
struction and the best service to
the farmer, which is to be looked
for, not in single brilliant discover
les, but in such increase as attested
and an accurate knowledge shall en-
able the farmer to conduct his bus
iness more intelligently and with
greaterprofit. Reviewing the scope
of experiment stations he showed
they dealt with natural sciences,
airs and water, soil fertilizers,
plants, foods animals, entomology,
dairying, agricultural, engineering,
and statistics. Valuable work is
done by them in these lines, partic-
ularly on the subject of stock feed
ing and dairying. Such work can
not be done by individual farmers,
because they lack the time scienti-
fic education necessary for it and
the business is not on large enough
scale. Other nations he showed do
more than the United States in
this line.

THROUGH IRON BARS.
Erastus Wiman Views the Light of
Day Through the Bars of a Cell.

Down on Center street in New
York City on yesterday morning
the bright sunlight of the new day
fell in long slanting rays upon the
grim walls of the famous Tombs
prison Within a notable prisoner
was confinef in an ordinary cell
over night, and for the first time
in his life saw the light of day lat
ticed by prison bars. Erastus Wi
man had been the occupant of a
narrow cell through the night. The
charges of forgery against the back
ground, the intimation and the
most extensive irregularities came
to the eyes and ears of club life in
New York with startling force.
The was early a large deputation
of reporters at the Tombs ready
and anxious for a record of express
sion from Mr.. Wiman, or any news
as to his arraignment, or as to the
procurement of bail, which would
permit him to go forth to liberty
in the bright sunlight and bound
less freedom of the great city. A
note was sent to Mr.. Wiman, who
is well known on newspaper row,
asking him for some expression as
to the charges made against him
and the situation in which he finds
himself placed. The communica-
tion also asked if Mr.. Wiman would
care to see his newspaper acquain-
tances. In response the prisoner
sent out the following reply; II
should be very glad to do so, but
under the advice of Col. Benjamin
F. Tracy, my counsel, / will make
no statement until my turn comes.
| am sorry to deny anything to
newspaper men, but must adhere
to that determination for a while.
When the ammunition of the NOV
ing powers against me is exhausted,
and hired men are done arraigning
and trying me in the newspaper, it
will then be time for me to speak
Mr.. Wiman has been given the dis
tinction Of quarters in "murderers'
row."
Alone with his nominations through
the night he rested as best he
might in cell No. 3, on the tier usu-
ally occupied by men convicted of
murder or sentenced to be execut-
ed Warden John Fallon, who has
charge of the Tombs paison, stated
that Mr. Wiman had passed a good
night, and was bearing up bravely
under the circumstances.

skill The first bill alluded to was
introduced by Representative Row
len of Stark at the request of a
Canton, Ohio physician. 1t prorides
for the abolishment of hanging as a
penalty in cases of capital punish
ment, and substitutes the use of
anesthetics and vivisection. The
murderer is to be turned over to
the doctors, who are to deprive him
of consciousness by the use of ane-
sthetics and then experiment with
him to their hearts content
The other bill is drawn by DIR.
Reed, the member from Huron. 1t
is similar to the first, but less radi-
cal and gives the murderer the
choice between death by electricity
and death by anesthetics and vivi-
section. Both measures are drawn
in the interests of science and have
the support of many prominent
medical men.

NO MORE DODGING.

The railroad officials who are to
meet the interstate commerce COM
mission next month will discover
that they will not be treated with
as much consideration as they were
a week or two ago That is what
Chairman Morrison of the commits
sion says
The commission is anxious to
adopt some plan by'which it will be
impossible for any road or party to
Joint tariff to cut the through
rates without laying itself liable to
the penalties of the interstate COM
merce law. Last summer when the
500 road and its connecting lines
were spoken to about it's cut at
Minneapolis and its causing de-
moralization they replied that it
was not party to the joint tariff
and repudlated the whole business.
There are several other instances Of
the same nature that have come be-
fore the commission and they pro-
pose if possible to prevent it in the
future. The railroad men are not
very anxious to aid in making a re-
form that will hold them rensponsi-
BILE or make them liable for viola
lations of the interstate commerce
law. The officials say that they are
not prepared to take any action in
the matter. The commission, how
ever is said to be prepared for an
emergency and if the railroads cam
not solve the problem they willhaye
a tariff form ready and compelth them
to sign it.

THE HOUSE BADLY MIXED.

WASHINGTON, February %, THE
members of the House under arrest
were finally discharged from custo-
day by dispensing with further pro-
ceeding under the call.
1t acquired four hours today to
accomplish this, and although the
scenes of disorderly turbulence
which characterized yesterdays
proceedings were not reported to-
day the proceedings were fully as
interesting. The Democrats were
evidently very anxious when the
House met to extricate themselves
from complications arising from the
wholesale arrest of members, but
by flank movements the Republi-
cans succeeded in preventing this
until the whole situation had been
thoroughly ventilated, Perhaps
the most interesting feature of the
day, barring Mr.. BANDS bitter
Philippe against the filibustering
Democrats, was the verbal duel be-
tween Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Turner,
over the question Of counting a
quorum, a question just now ofpre-
eminent Importance in House cir
cles on account of the proposed
Democratic caucus to consider the
advisability of adopting this expe-
dent. Before the House adjoured

THE LASER BOYS FREE.

As result of the long, closely
contested and in many respects, re-
markable trial, of the Laser Broth
ers murder case, for the killing of
Ben Levison, at Little Rock, Ark.
the following telegram reached that
city by special messenger, from
Perryville Ark, the scene of the
trial, yesterday;
Dave and Jake Laser have been
acquitted after celebrating three
and one half hours. The jury at
II o'clock tonight returned the fol
lowing verdict; We, the jury, find
the defendant, Dave Laser not
guilty, on the ground of insanity,
and find Jake Laser not guilty as
charged.
The above verdict of acquittal
was received with every demonstra
tion of satisfaction and delight, by
the friends and sympathizers of the
two brothers, who in a few hours
time had been relieved of the oner-
Gus burden Of fearful criminal
charge and at once restored to all
of their freedom and citizenship, at
the same time being returned to
the arms of loving family and
friends. Thus closed the noted
Laser murder trial, the most fa-
nous perhaps in the history of the
Perry Circuit court. Following the
verdict of acquittal came a general
