vile, Cal.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. I3.-The north
bound passenger train on the Rich
mond, Fredericksburg & Potomac rail-
way which left here at o'clock Fri
day night was held up near Quantico.
The engineer and fireman were forced
from their engine and the engine was
cut loose and sent ahead. The ex-
press car was then entered, the
messenger covered with pistols and
forced to open the safe. The runaway
locomotive was stopped at Quantico by
obstructing the track. 1t is stated
here that there was an unusually
large amount of money on the train.
probably $4,000 The robbers, seven
in number, were masked. The rail-
way company has offered 81, 900 reward
for the arrest of any of the robbers.
The express messenger, b. f. Crutch
field. and his helper. Fl. Murray, barred
the doors of the express car, but these
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.
Daring Robbery In California.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 13.-The bandits
who held up q Southern Pacific over
land train few miles west of Sacra-
mento late Thursday night and looted
the Wells-Fsrgo company express car
secured over $4,000. They seem to
have eluded tho officers and escaped
with their plumber, which was nearly
all in gold coin, and consequently
heavy burden. The astounding sue
cess of the hold up was not known IN
ill Friday afternoon. Earlier reports
of the robbery gave the amount of
money taken at $500.
Reward of $40. 700 offered.
The truth came out, however, when
the Southern Pacific issued circular
offering q reward of $4,000 for the ar
rest of the two robbers and the recov-
cry of the plumber. In this circular,
it is said, the bandits plundered the
express car of over. $4,000 n gold.
The circular announces the Southern
Pacific company and the Wells-Fargo
company will pay $4,000 for the cap
ture of each robber and S., 1000 for the
recovery of the money, or proportion
eat amount of any part of the whole.
stole -Four Sacks of Coin.
The robbery was daring one. Four
sacks of coin were secured from the
express car, and Messenger Paige
barely escaped with his life. Three
hundred pounds of coin were taken.
Overland, and his fireman were forced
at the muzzle of revolver to carry
coin sacks from the express car to the
engine. There the robbers uncoupled
the engine and rode off with their
booty.

A Good Beginning.

The young Csar Of Russia, Nicholas
III, has began his reign Of that vast en-.
pire by granting an amanesty 70 many
political prisoners, by relieving the poor
classes Of his country from the back
taxes which had been accommodating
through years Of drouta and general de-
preston in trade, and by intimating that
general reforms will be inaugurated. It
has been stated by the European press
that General Ghourko the governor Of
Poland and one of the most bruta; and
unprincipled officials, had been relieved
of his command, and that the satisfac.
ton felt 10 that down trod len country

erty is general. And truly this auto.
cratic government cannot too soon be
redeemed from the stain OF murder,
bigotry and religious persecution. The
late Car Alexander III, although
greatly beloved by the aristocracy and
the peasant class, which had been en-
frsnchised by his father, was the most
intense foe Of all liberty and Of progress.
He was equally as cuIpable for the
crimes committed by the Nihiliste, as
they were themselves, for did he not
send to the Siberian miues their fathers,
brothers and sisters, whose only crime
Was to try for the liberty Of Russia and
Of Russians. The religious prosecutions
against the Jews. Protestants and Ro-
man Catholics practiced under the late
reign was more ferocious than the pros.
ecutions Of the middle ages. Thousands
OF families had TO choose the alternative
Of embracing the Greek Catholic faith OF
seek homes in foreign lands. These
things happened in the latter part OF the
nineteenth century. Is it to be won
