Demand Made by the Missouri
Pacific.
Surely the Atchison VIII Not Allow
the Union Pacific to Run
Things.

CHICAGO, May 1e.-The general meet
ing of the Western passenger lines. which
was to have taken place to-day. has been
postponed till next Tuesday. A confer
ence lasting all day was held between
representatives of the Rock Island, Bur-
lington, Atchison and Union Pacific lines,
but nothing definite was arranged by
them.
The troubles of the Western Freight
Association are now apparently over for
the time being at least. The action of the
Atchison and the Missouri Pacific in de-
claring that they were willing TO put up
the rates has restored harmony all along
the line and no further trouble is looked
for at present.
Late this evening the Missouri Pacific
made demand in relation to the settle
ment of the immigrant rate troubles, which
bid fair to upset everything. 1t demanded
that its eastbound immigrant business
should receive the same consideration as
the westbound. This, the other lines
claim. is simply allo wing the Union Pacific
to manipulate eastbound rates at its pleas
ure, while the other lines are bound by an
agreement 1t is not believed the Atchi-
son will allow this condition to exist. This
means the destruction of the emigraut
agreement, and unless that is settled
everything else in the way of an agree
mens between the western lines is doomed.

There Were Six Passengers From
Angels, and Two Were
Badly Wounded.

MILTON, May 19.-An attempt was made
by Two highwaymen 10 hold up the down
Angel stage on Carmen Hill, about three
quarters of a mile west of Pools, at IL
o'clock this morning. There were six
passengers on the stage. two of whom were
women.
As the stage rolled up to where the
robbers were concealed one lady remarked
to Messenger Hendricks, "There is a
robber."
Hendricks turned and shot the man on
the left hand, then called out to Driver
Wessoh to keep moving. The robber tried
to rise on his elbow when Hendricks shot
MIN again. filing his body and limbs full
OF buckshot and killing him almost in
stantly.
His body has been removed to Angels.
The robber on the right side was concealed
in the brush most of the time and did most
of the shooting. filing the stage with
twenty-five buckshot and fatally, If not
mortally, wounding Miss Bunny, residing
at Almaden also w0undiDg I. L. Hume OF
Murphys in the shoulder.
Miss Bunny has been removed to Angels
Camp. where she is suffering from three
buckshOt that are lodged in her face.
The hiRhwdyman that was killed by
Messenger Hendricks was about six feet
high, had q light complexion, light mus
tache and wore blue nveralls and light
coat and vest. He is supposed to be about
80 years of age aud weighing close to $50
pounds.
The officers have been searching the
surrounding country for the other high
wayman, but up 10 the present time they
have been unable TO get any information
regarding his whereabouts.

Witness Coffin Was Altogether Too
Willing to Testify.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 19.-In the cross
examination of F. A. Coffin to-day in the
bank-wreeking cases the witness showed
an acuteness and ingenious evasion of
questions that even the attorneys for the
Government admired. Notwithstanding
this the Government succeeded in tearing Q
down the theory of the defense, and there
has been nothing gained in placing the de-
PENDANTS on the stand. Letters were pro-
duced which the witness was compelled to

Strikers Plot to Blow Up the Houses
of Bosses.

WnKEsBARRE, Pa, May ia plot
for which fiepdishness has never been
eoualed in the annals Of crime in this sec
ton was nipped in the bud to-day through
the confession of one of the Keystone COL
liery rioters. He said the strikers had
secured nine kegs of giant powder, almost
enough to destroy half the city, and secreted
them near tha house of Foreman HesIops
This evening, had it not been for the
arrest of the ringleaders of yesterdays
riot, it was the intention of the strikers to
put the powder under the houses of all
the bosses of the mines and set it off. The
resnlt would have been something terri
BILE, taking into consideration that the
families of the bosses number nearly 100
persons. Despite this evidence against the
ringleaders of the riotous Hungarians, the
six men who were taken into custody this
morning were to-day admitted TO bail.
The nine kegs of powder were secured by
the officers.

from Aimaden. She was shot in the head
with buckshot and was left in care of
residents in the vicinity OF the attempted
holdup.
Mr.. Hume of Murphys was shot In the
shoulder, but not seriously.
The attempt was made near Pools
ranch, twelve miles from this place. by
two masked men. They did not succeed
in stopping the stage as the horses were
going at lively gait and the shots from
the robbers started them into a run.
Messenger Hendricks was quick with his
gun and dropped one OF the robbers.
Among the six passengers it was a fire.
quent remark to Keep your eye out for
stage-robbers." Already three hold-ups
had been made in less than two months,
and it has become a common occurrence
for Driver Fred Wesson on his arrival at
Milton to announce Another hold-up."
Later reports confirm the fact that the
robber WAS found dead with a great wound
in his head aud numerous shots In different
places In the body. The loaded shells on
his person were perforated by the force
from the bnckshot in the hands of Mes
senger Hendricks. He had used his best
efforts with good success, two discharges
entering the robber aud dropping him in
his tracks.
The injured man. Hume, was able to
resume his journey to Stockton, where sur
geons had been summoned to attend him.
Mss Bunny was not so fortunate, as re-
ports come in that she is badly wounded,
but it is thought not fatally. The physi-
clan expects to remove her back to Angels
to-day. Mr.. Hume had offered to change
seats with the woman, as the one she oc-
cupied was uncomfortable.
AS yet no definite tidings are to be had
of the second robber. Mrs. Lille Stoll of
Angels claims they were on either side of
the road, and that the one who was killed
fired one shot, his com mpanion firing the
third time.

though it had been made target for prac-
tice, and confirms the report that quite a
fusillade had taken place.
Messenger Hendricks was covered with
blood from the injured passengers whom
he had assisted. He looked anything but
a hero In the battle that had taken place,
but was the recipient of many congratula-
tions. The dead robbers companion lost
his bat In his haste to escape. Neither OF
the robbers is known by name, but sew
eral parties at the scene of the battle knew
the mans face and that he was a gam blsr

laying around Angels Camp for two or
three weeks. The officers are in hot pur-

aske the strikers to allow the men to go
to work extinguishing the flames. A
meeting was called aud by close vote it
was decided not to allow the men to go
down. The meeting was about to adjourn
when Vice-President Murray Of the State
miners organization arrived. He strongly
urged reconsideration of the vote. He
said such action as they had taken was
putting a club in the operators hands
by which their cause would be defeated.
In spite of Murray's remonstrsnces the
miners adjourned without reconsidering
the vote, and the French anarchists set up
q shout of LET them burn" "Tear them
down." etc.
The operators are determined to have
the fire extinguished il they have to i'm

trouble. The foreign miners are all very

Mr.. Thacker says that a good deal OF
money is being sent out by the mines in
that part of the State, and that the robbers
know that fact and try to take advantage
OF 1t. The company will run half doze
men on each stage, he says. in order to
stop the depredations. The detective
thinks that there is no organized band, and
that the robberies are committed by indie
pendent men as occasion offers.
