The police are unable to get her, as
Nellie would not disclose. her name.
The. girls invited Crandall to take a
walk with them, and when he declined,
he said, they persuaded him to go into
a saloon at Forty-fourth street and

Gen. Price decided to take II by as

Gen. Price, strange to say, resolved
that the assault should be renewed, and

Last Friday. at nidnimht. seven masked
robbers, near Quantico, il Virginia, Al miles

Adams express coach on the t0ain rom Rich

Then the express messenger Was ordered to

DYNAMITE cartridges were Therefore thrown,
which shattered the door,
Six OF the robbers watched the driver and

bankmcnt alongside. of the line, and aIso'hred
revolvers towards tbd passengers IN order to
intimidate them, while one stal" art rutildh

Messengers. mounted the locomotive, dlscon-
nected it from the train, and steamed away.
After yiaing a mile the thieyes abandoned
the locomotive, having started it uorthWard
at n high speed. 1t ran for II miles as far
as Oauntico. where it was fortunately shunted
on to a siding and wrecked by collision with
come goods cars, thus escaping q collision
with a passenger train at the station.
This robbery on a leading railway near the
national capital has made q great sensation.
The Governor of Virginia has offered d re-
ward for the capture Of the robbers. The
rail way Company offers q reward of $4,000.
One man who has been arrested at Cumber-
land. Maryland. had. in two wollen stockings
a sum OF 81 ,553, besides several watches,

Two other suspects have been arrested at
Cherryrun, in West Virginia.
The Adams expresC Company state that
the actual amount of money stolen does not
exceed S25, 600, and that they have impor-
tant clues to the identity of the robbers.
The moon was shining brightly at the time
of the robbery. The only weapon Which airy
Of the passengers had was one small revolv-
or and when attempt was made to fire at the
robbers it would not go of. When the
thieves abandoned the engine, they probably
had a boat ready to cross the Potomac into
MARYLAND. The postal car, containing many
sacks of registered letters, was not molested.
One theory ascribes the robbery to Coxeyites,
some remnants of the CoNeyite army having
drifted into the vicinity IN which the tram
was stopped.
