FIVE MEN HOLD UP A TRAIN
The Contents Of the Express COmpa-
ny'S Safe Carried OIL.

The Train stopped By the Explosion
of Torpedo and the Waving of a
Lantern-Tho Engineer and Firemen
Ordered About at the Point of Re-
voIvors-TI4e Robbers Escape.
St. Joseph, Mo, Jan. 1S.-Train No. 8
on the Kansas City, st. Joe and Council
Bluffs railroad was held up and robbed
this morning at 1920 o'clock by FIVE
masked men at Roy's Landing, one mile
north of this city, the scene of the at
tempted robbery on Sept % last. The
train was stopped by torpedo and red
lantern signal, and when the engineer
had slowed up he and the fireman were
covered by revolvers and forced to go
hack to the express car and demand ad-
mittance. The express messenger, c. E.
Baxter. was covered by revolvers in the
hands of the robbers, and they proceeded
to plunder the car.
THE SAFE LOOTED.
The safe was opened and the ontents
were transferred to a sack which was
carried by one Of the gang. The robbers
then assem- bled all the crew in bunch,
marched them about half way down the
train and ordering them to stand STILL
made their escape in a westerly direction
through the dense willows which line
the track at that point. The robbers
could be described, but are supposed to
be the same gang that held up and
robbed the Chicago fast trim, "The Eli, ;"
on the Hannibal, just a week ago to-
might.
WHAT THE MEN LOOK LIKE.
Two of the men, tall and short one,
answer the description given of two of
the Eli" robbers. Sheriff Carson and
large posse of deputies are hot on the trail
of the robbers, and every available man
has been pressed into service. AS soon as
the robbers left the train, it was backed
down into the city and the officials noti-
fed.
Nothing can be ascertained in regard to
how much the robbers secured, but COM
ing on the heels Of the last robbery, it has
created intense excitement all over the
city
Roy's Landing, where the hold-up oc-
Cured, was the place where two train
robbers were killed and four captured on
Sept. % by dummy train sent out by the
officials of the road in place of train No.

LONDON HUNGRY FOR BONDS.
Brokers Anxious to Have a Third ot
the Loan Placed There.

London, Jan, 1s.-The issuance by Scores
tary Carlisle of a circular inviting sub
scriptions for bonds was the chief topic
Of conversation on the stock exchange to-
day. The consensus of opinion was that
the Secretary of the Treasury ought to
popularize the issue by placing at least
one-third of the bonds in London. The
operators argue that as England has sup
ported American railroad securities,
many of which have turned out badly, it
would be right for Mr.. Carlisle to allow
London to subscribe TO what will he gilt
edged securities.
Several arbitrage houses have cabled
to their New York agents that the issue
will be readily subscribed for here, and
iHstructing the agents that unless por-
tion of the bonds is issued in London, to
make tenders for them in New York on
behalf of English clients.
Influenced by the prospect of the issue,
the stock market was frmer to-day.
