Washington, Oct. 1.-THE train

ial from Jacksonville for New York.
Only few passengers stopped off

remainder going north The following
facts in regard to the hold-up were OBJ.
tanned from the baggageman of the
train:
1T is customary for all trains to
stop at Aquai creek, several miles be-
low Quantico, for water. The train
was 200 or 300 yards this side of the
creek at 1925 tonight tonight, when the
engineer got signal to stop. The
porter went forward to see what had
caused the signal and>was confronted
by the robbers, who, 1t was learned
had given the signal. There were
seven or eight of them, and as soon as
the engine stopped they walked back
towards the train and commenced to
fire their weapons, at the same time
warning everybody to kepe inside the
cars. A number of shots were fired.
but by the greatest chance no one was
hurt, for by this time the passengers
had become excited and some had
thrown open the windows to ascertain
the cause But upon seeing the mask
ed men they became aware that the
train had been held up by desperate
men. The robbers, by their bold
course. thus intimidated the passen-
gers and train crew. and thereupon
quickly came to the express car. They
found the doors tightly barred and
were unable to force an en-
trance by persuasion or threats.
Their time was precious, and they
were well fixed to do their work
rapidly. They were supplied with dy
Mantle and by its use the door of the
express car was shattered and an en-
trance gained The messenger was in
the car at the time and they told him
they would blow him up if he did not
omen the doors of the safe. The mes
songer appreciated that he was in the
hands of desperate men and after de-
nlHring he opened the safe. The men
got every cent of the money that was
in the car No one knows just how
much the safes contained but on of
the employees said he thought it would
probably amount to $150,OO0. The safes

bound passenger train on the Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad was
held up near Quantico. The engineer and
fireman were forced from their engine
and the engine cut loose and sent ahead.
Inc express car was then entered, the
messengers were covered with pistols and
the safe then opened and robbed The
runaway locomotive was stopped at
Quantico by distractions on the track. 1t
is stated here that there was an unusu-
ally large amount of money on the train,
probably $4,000. The robbers, seven in
open the safe as first reported. They
forced the messenger to open it. The
railway company has offered 81, 900 for the
arrest of any of the robbers
The express messenger, E. H.
Crutehfield, and his helper, H. B. Muir
ray, barricaded the doors, but they
were blown open with dynamite.
After the robbery the thieves made
off with their booty in the direction of
the Potomac river, where it is sup
posed they had boat in waiting to
take them to the Maryland side None
Of the robbers entered the passenger
coaches.
The operator at Brooks, six miles
from Quantico, discovered that the en-
CINE was wild" as it passed his sta
ton and telegraphed to Quantico,
where switch was thrown, so that
1t was brought into collision with two
loaded freight cars and wrecked. Had
this not been done, the engine would
have collided with the southbound pas
senger train.

HIS FAMILY SERVANT.

Evaded the Contract Labor Law.


Evaded the Contract Labor Law.
New York, Oct. 12.-Hon. Levi P. Nor
ton. in reply to story published today
that he had violated the contract labor
law by bringing help from England
under contract to act as his assistant
eoacnman John J. Howard, has given
out the following statement:
10 is true that John Howard has
been constantly in my services since
May, 1894, ! having employed him as
coachman in London. When left Lon
don for the continent, having no further
use for his services there, he came TO
my home here and has since been in my
employ al Rhine Cliff. His duties are
confined TO services rendered to my
family. i regard him as a household
servant and as one falling within the
exception of the law. I considered my
action as strictly within the statute
and believed then as 1 do now, that
he has to be regarded as a family
servant. If Howard has made any
statement, which 1 doubt, to the effect
that L suggested that he should assume
to have been in service twelve months,
he is mistaken, no word having passed
between him and me on the subject.
This publication conveys the first in
timation l have had that any such eX-
ception as is claimed is contained in
the statute"

HILLS SECOND ATTACK.
Scores the Republican Party in His
Usual Incisive Style.

Binghampton, N. Y, Oct. Ex-senator
Hill faced here tonight, for his second
attack upon the Republican party, an
audience fully as enthusiastic, even if
not quite as large as that at Syracuse
last night.
Senator Hill stepped to the front of
the platform, and in clear, incisive
manner, began his address. In addi-
ton to reiterating the sentiments ex-
pressed at Syracuse, he said:
Il embrace this early opportunity to
express my sincere appreciation for the
loyal and cordial support which is be-
ing given the state ticket by those who
have heretofore differed from me in re-
gard to the inter-party. affairs, especi-
ally in the rural districts of the state
They seem to realize more keenly than
do some Of our party friends in New
York and Brooklyn the absolute neces-
sity of party unity in the present
emergency, involving as it does, the
very existence of the Democratic party
itself. They realize that a Republican
victory in New York will strengthen
the forces of protection everywhere
and greatly imperil all that has been
gained and accomplished during the
past two years for the cause of tariff
reform"

New York, Oct. ia special dis
patch from Washington says: The
United States has been invited by the
quadruple alliance, composed of Great
Britain, France, Germany and Russia,
to join it in friendly Intervention in
the war between China and Japan.
The invitation will be declined. The
declara ton is based on the honored
policy Of this government to avoid any
entangling alliances with foreign
powers.
acknowledgement is made of the
truth in what the invitation has to say
about the desirability of the restoration
of peace. etc., but in the polite language
of diplomacy it is pointed out that this
country has so far got along very well
attending to it's own business, and that
so long as it continues to prosper by
that policy it will not depart from it.

|. Turner always had sitting-room
and bedroom provided for him at Farm
ley, and Mr.. Fawkes gave orders that
he was to be received in them even If
he himself were absent. This consider

not seem to develop corresponding gen.
crosby in Turner. On one occasion,
when Mr.. Fawkes and his son Major
Fawkes, were going out shooting, they
overlook Turner going out with "a

They all walked little way together
and came to a place where dead buck
was lying. The keepers had shot it,
and they and their firelocks made a
striking group.
Mr.. Fawkes said: Turner. I wish
you would make note of that for me.
1t is very picturesque" Turner pulled
"a tiny sketchbook from his waistcoat
pocket, and quickly made what Mr..
Fawkes desired. At night Mr. Fawkes
said: Mind, Turner, don't forget to
give me the sketch you made for me

note which showed that Mr. Fawkes

THAT RAILROAD TRUST.
Huntington Says it is Only u Scheme
to Cheaper Freight.

Washington, Oct &c. P. Huntington,
when questioned today regarding the dis
patch from Chicago stating that move
ment is on foot to. combine all the rail-
roads in the country running east and
west from the. Atlantic and Pacific and
other roads, in a trust, said: The ques-
ton is asked whether or not a railroad
trust is being formed to operate the roads
west Nof the Mississippi, and L say no.
There seems to be necessity of cheaper
ing some way the cost of transportation.
One of the large items is the multiplicity
of agents of each company looking after
each separate interest. Therefore, it is
proposed to have one office for all the
companies, each company doing it's own
receives. It is very difficult to advance
rates, so the next thing is to see if there
is not some way by which we can econ
omise SO as to get more net out of the
gross than we are now receiving.
