METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

It has been decided to build a new chimney of tile in the old Methodist church, the old chimney being in the rear of the church and the furnace situ- ated in the front, it requires too much pipe to secure the best draft. The new chimney will be close to the furnace and project through the tower, thus having d direct draft and giving to the church the greatest advantage of the furnace and economy of fuel.

To Number Postage Stamps.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The post Of
fee department is inclined to regard
with favor suggestion that has been
made that postage stamps should be
numbered precisely in the same man
ner as treasury notes and bills issued
by the government. Some such means
of Identification as this has been
found necessary owing to the numer-
Gus robberies of stamps In bulk from
post Offices in different parts of the
country. species of crime which
seems of late to be considerably on the
increase. A large number of represen-
tative business men, as well as post Of
fee inspectors situated in different
parts of the country, have strongly in.
dorsed the project and urged its imme'
diate consideration.

The feeling of the knights of Labor

orabls, as had been shown by the pas
sage of resolutions against it. The Of.

did not think in the least degree proba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.--LieutenaAt
Commander Swineburne, of the Bos-
ton, was the only witness before the
senate subcommittee investigating the
Hawaiian question Wednesday. He Is
the officer who had active command OF
the American troops on shore in Homo
lulu at the time Of the revolution one
year ago, and his testimony is consid-
cred important, as it bears upon some
points which have been in dispute and
to which much Importance is attached.
He was questioned concerning the
time of landing, the location of the
troops in Arion hall, and the time Of
the surrender of the station.house. He
was also asked to explain how the troops
chanced to be located at Arion hall
and was reminded Of the charge made BY
Blount and the friends of Queen Lii:
uokalani that of all places this was the
one best calculated to serve the pur-
poses of the provisional government
being located just across a narrow
street from the government building,
where they would prove menace to
the queens forces It's understood that
Mr.. Swineburne admitted that q more
fortunate selection could have been
made, and that he said he had previous
to the landing advised that some other
place be chosen. In the main, how.
ever, his testimony corroborated tho
statements of Minister Stevens and the
officers of the provisional government
He contended that there had not been
any conspiracy involving the naval
force.
Mr.. Swineburne was also reminded
Of the discrepancies in statements con.
cerning the time Of the surrender OF

QUITE WsS . Very Neat job

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. TO- --Train No
3, the through express on oi,e Kansas
City, st. Joseph and Council Bluffs rail-
way, was held up Thursday morning al
1920 at Roy's Landing, one mile north
of this city, in the same place that the
Kohler gang met their Waterloo last
September.
just as the train approached the
landing man appeared on the track
and signnled the train to stop.
The engineer obeyed the signal and
brought his train to standstill. The
train stopped just in time, for, had il
gone few yards further, it would have
run into number of ties piled upon
the track.
AS soon as Engineer Edward Davis
brought his train TO a standstill two
masked men clambered over the tender
and at the muzzle of revolvers made
the engineer and his fireman, f. Sim
MONS step down from the cab. In the
meantime three OF the bandits COM
inenced firing to intimidate the passen.
gers, who huddled close to the seats
and hugged the floor Of the train.
Two of the bnndits clambered into
the express car. and, with leveled re-
volvers, made Expressman G. E Bax.
ter open the safe and hand over the exc
press packages contained in il. The
men then backed out of the car and
with parting solley, took their leave.
A spring wagon was hitched to post
by the roadside, and, as soon as the
bandits had transacted their business,
they sprang into the wagon and drove
off into the darkness.
just as soon as the train came to q
standstill and the bandits commenced
firing, the passengers realized that gay
bandits, who are making things inter-
esting for the Burlington people, were
at work. The train was well-6lled, and,
at the first shot, everybody began
squeezing himself into as small a space
as possible.
One man named Briggs, from St
Louis, had crouched down under seat,
putting his satchel and overcoat over
his head for protection. His compan.
ion, who sat in the same seat with him,
tried to get part Of the satchel over his
head, when Briggs yelled out: "Hold
on there! haven't enough for my.
self!'
Benjamin T. Hill, of the Sedalia, Ga.
zette, was a passenger en- the train. He
says: "When the train was signaled
and began to slow up recognized the
locality and remarked to fellow
passenger: we will be held up in a
few minutes Just then perfect
volley of shots were fred. All of the
passengers in the car dropped to the
floor and got as close to it as possible.
1t did not take the bandits five minutes
to complete the work"
Expressman Baxter says he opened
the door of his car in response to the
engineers request and was immedi-
ately covered by double-barreled
shotgun in the hands of one of the rob-
bers. Two men then climbed into the
car and covered Messenger Baxter and
Baggageman w. A. Skinner with re-
volvers. Baxter was ordered to open
the safe and the robbers took all the
money packages in sight. He can give
no estimate of the value of the booty.

An Appeal to sc Made to the Government
Courts for an Injunction Restraining
the state Militia From Interfering
Sports Gathering at jacksonville.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 2a.--Ths
Duval club may have recourse to n
United States law with a view to
bringing OF the fight in Jacksonville.
An appeal will be made to the gov.
ernment courts for an injunction re-
straining the state militia from inter.
fering with the fight The clubs at.
torneys have dug up United States
law which protects all enterprises that
have been damaged to the amount Of
$1,000.
As the club has sold more than $1,000
worth Of tickets, and the glove contest
is legal under the city ordinance and
legislative act, the United States law
will, 80 Manager Bowden says, uphold
the club and restrain the martial law
proceedings of the governor.
All means of communication by rail
to the milling point will be cut of
from Jacksonville after the train leaves
here.
The state has applied to the railroads
for the transportation Of 78 soldiers
How the governor proposes to move
this ,neager army from Jacksonville to
the Duval camp is mystery that the
club has not yet attempted to solve.
Here is the plan that the club has
perfected, as it is given to me from a
source that have reason to believe 10
official.
The Florida Central railroad will
furnish 100 cars, consisting of five
trains Of 20 cars ench. Every specta.
tor, even the club members, must pre-
sent a ticket.
Entrance to each car will be made
through one door, at which keeper
will be placed with instructions to adj
NIT only the holders of tickets.
Prof Gentry, after showing next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in
st. Augustine, returns to Jacksonville
and leaves Wednesday evening over the
Florida Central & Peninsula railroad
for the battle-ground.
Gentry can pitch his canvas and
place his seats in four hours. Presi-
dent Mason told me Saturday that $685..
900 gate money will clear the club from
loss.
At Bat Masterson's request the club
agrees to leave the disposal of the e2O,-
600 check to John Kelly, the official ref
cree.
If during the contest the authorities
should appear and stop the fighters the
disposition of the check will be left
solely to the Judgment of Kelly. This
satisfied Masterson.
