 II hesitate to mention the sensational reports received by mail tonight from a responsible correspondent at St Peters burg. He writes that thcre is a wido- spread belief in the Russian capital that the czar is dying of poison.
 Tho current story is that the emperor suddenly became unconscious while dim ing at peterhof two months ago. He TO- mained insensible the entire night.

 Trail of the AquIa Creek Train Robbers.
 DALLAS, Oct. 20. A special from weatherford says: A report reached here that the west bound passenger train on the Texas and Pacific railroad was held up and robbed ny four men near Gordon. A correspondent learned from J. B. Young of Gordon, who came in on the west bound train. that at a point about two miles this side of Gordon four men, unmasked. approached the section gang and forced them to obstruct the road and flag the train as 1t approached. and when the train was stopped tho bandits forced the express messenger to open the door of the express car
 They also forced the section men to go Into oc car with a sledge hammer and break the combination of the express safe but their efforts to open the safe were fruitiess. The messengers way safe was battered open. and what money there was in it was taken by tho robbers. The amount secured. 1t is estimated, runs anywhere between $500 and $5, coo.
 Today being pay day at Thurber for tho large number of hands that work at tho mines tilero was in the combination safe S30. GOO consigned to tho Pacific Coal company. which was to pay off the hands. Suspicious characters havc been seen for the past month or SO in that section. and the express company was prepared for the attack, as they had on the train one of their special com binstion safes, of which no agent along the route knew the com. bination. The express company had q special man back in tho coach who know the combination to the safe and who would como forward at stations whcro he was needed and open the safe. Tho pas ssngers and mail cars were not molested by the robbers.
 After the robbery was committed the four robbers walked away toward tho mountains whistling. going In n southern direction. The Texas Pacific Coal com pany has offered $500 reward for tho cap ture of the robbers. There wero no shots fired during the robbery, and 1t Is consid cred one of the boldest train holdups rc corded in the country for a long time. Il is thought the robbers arc from the In dian Territory and aro now on their wa! back. A posse has started after them.
