Train Rob ID erg FoIled,

CLEVELAND, Aug. 7.-I.ake Shore
Express train No. IL arrived from the
West and pufred into tho Union sta.
tion this morning, after having enco-
untered most thrilling experience on
the plains Of Indiana. An attempt was
made last night to hold up the train at
kessler upon the Identical spot that the
train was held up last fall. The train
was just approaching split switch at
kessler, when the engineer noticed that
the switch was turned so as to run the
train OIL the siding. a big obstruction
OF ties and lumber was piled upon the
siding few rods ahead OF his engine.
The obstruction did not appear to be
impossible and the engineer put on all
the steam and dashed through the pie
passing safely on the main track
through the switch at high rate of
speed. AS the train passed the OBJ.
stuction the engineer noticed group
of masked men and as the engine clear
ed the track Of all obstacles the would
be highwaymen fired several shots in
to the train, none Of which, however
took effect. The United States express
car was attached to the train and had
on board large amount Of money. It
Is thought that this was known to the
desperadoes who attempted to hold ND
the train. Their disappointment In
carrying out their plans Of stopping the
train was eVinced on their firing shots
when they saw that their plans had
been fOiled by the boldness of the engi-
neer in dashing through the heap OF
ties upon the track.

A Terrlblo TfRnadY

COLUMBIA, S. g., Aug. 8.-Y esterday
morning about two miles from tho city
a young son Of Mr.. Henry Williams
was SHOT and killed by his brother. The
children were and years old respect
lively. 1T was a strange case and no OK
PLANTATION OF the reason why the deed
was done Is given: The facts are as
follows: Mrs. Williams left her house
and went out into the adjourning
WOODS f0r some purpose and left her
three children at the house. They were
aged z, S ahd 3years. When she return.
ed she was Mortified to find the live.year
old child dead. Blood was pouring from
Its ear: She screamed at the sight,
which brought In some neighbors. The
seven-yearOld child on being questioned
said that he had taken a nail and while
his little brother was lying on tho floor
he had put 1t in his ear and stuck 1t
with bis hand. lie did not mean to
drive the nail in, he said. This explana-
tiOn was not at all satifactory, but the
little fellow stuck to it for long tim ..
In the meantime Coroner Roach was
notified and DR.. Green was sent for.
The Doctor saw at once that the fatal
wound had not been made by nail.
The boy was questioned again and af.
ter much persuasion and aome threats
he finally said that he had gone to q
trunk, took out a pistol, put 1t to his
brother'e ear and fired. The little three
year-old child In Its baby way confirm
ed that statement.
Absolutely no reason Is given as to
why the child shot his brother, and IL Is
supposed that he really did not
know what he was doing when he put
the fatal weapon to his brothers ear
and fired. Coroner Roach empaneled a
jury and q verdict WAS rendered In &C,
cc0rdance with the above facts. The
boy being only 2 years old is clearly not
responsible for the act. >5

heard by Mr.. Baker. who declares It
to be without any foundation what
