Train Robbers on the X. f. 4 +. Rail
road Make Big Haul-A Cool
Piece of Work Rewards
Offered.

Washington, Oct. ia gang com
posed of seven men robbed the north
bound express train on the Richmond,
fredericksburg & Potomac railway at
Quantico last night. Their demand for
the way bill when the messenger declared
one safe empty and the caution they gave
the fireman about disconnecting the air
brake tubes when he uncoupled the en-
CINE on their demand, showed that some
members of the gang had been railroad
hands. Besides, after the engine was un-
coupled, it was boarded by the robbers
and by them run to a point near Wide
Water station, short distance from the
scene of the hold-up, whence they sent it
ahead and
ABANDONED IT.
Express Messenger Crutchfeld thinks
that the booty secured was $15O,000 or
more. He gave this account of the rob-
berry: "But one robber entered the car.
He was heavy built and was dressed like
a farmer, although he seemed thoroughly
to understand the express business. He
hac red handkerchief over the lower
part Of his face. When, the train was
stopped, opened the door OF my car.
The robber fired shot at me. l fred
back and closed the door. He called OUT
Open the door,, which I refused to do.
Open that door or I'll blow the whole
car to pieces with dynamite he yelled.
Then he threw
STICK OF DYNAMITE,
which struck the door and shattered it
and the casing, knocking me off my feet.
then opened the door. One robber
came in and made me open the safe, and
then took everything. There was one
package which he must have thought
contained only papers, for he threw it
into box. It contained $4,000. Then
he said: open that other safe,' where
upon said THAT is simply dead-head
safe.' The hell it is,' he roared, Show
me your way bills for it,. I started to
get the bill, and he said,
KEEP YOUR HANDS UP;
show me the paper and I'll get it, He
looked at the bill and was satisfied that
the second safe contained nothing, which
was true. The man was very cool all the
time. He had several through express
pouches, each containing packages OF
money, how much can not guess. He
cut a small slit in each pouch and took
every package"
HEAVY LOSS.
New York.-The train held up last
night on the Richmond, fredericksburg
Potomac railroad reached the Pennsyl-
vania depot at Jersey City at 8:05 this
morning with badly shattered express
car. The Adams Express messenger re-
ported that all the safes had been rifed.
1t is supposed that the bandits obtained
between $15O,0o0 and 100000. The
heavy oak doors of the express car had
been splintered by dynamite. In addi-
tion to this, marks of bullets we're plainly
visible. Every pane of glass in the win
dows had been shattered and fragments
were still scattered over the floor of the
car. The officials of the Adams Express
company in charge of the car at the
depot claimed that only the pouches and
safes had been ransacked.
HEAVY REWARDS OFFERED.

A Man Of Hair Breadth Escapes.

a tall, slender man, with iron gray
beard and hair and piercing eyes, that
royed around under pair of heavy
gray eyebrows. sauntered through the
Arlington lobby, "rhat is Granville
Stuart, of Montana, the new Minister
to Uruguay and Paraguay" said an
old-timer on one of the settees. "He
is on his way to his new post, and this
is the first time he has been east OF
the Mississippi fora quarter of u cen
fury. He has had moro startling nd
ventures and hair breadth escapes
tnan almost any man you ever heard
of. L remember one of them well.
Stuart was ono of the first pioneers in
the Territory of Montana, aud was
quartz crazy like the rest of them. He
was out on u prospecting trip once and
had disnlounted from his horse, leav-
ing his riiio strapped to the saddle,
when tho animal ran away. 1t was
late in tho year, and that night snow
began falling. Ho was miles away
from any habitatiop, in tho heart of
tho mountains, and in searching for
his horse he lost his bearings. He had
only small pocket knife, and his
fusee safe only contained three or four
firemakers. The first night he was
out it grew very cold and he made u
fire, which attracted some birds.
Stuart caught about dozen of them
and cooked them. For ten days he
wandered through tho mountains,
with nothing else to eat but those lit
tic birds. One day nh elk rubbed
against tree within two yards of him,
but he had nothing to kill it with.
Then n frog crossed his path, but he
was not strong enough to catch up
with it. When he was nearly dead
two indians found him and took him
into the camp to have fun with him.
They fed him up, so us to get strong
enough to run whilo they could beat
him with tcpcc poles. One night he
escaped, stole II horse and got away.
Ho got lost in tho mountains again,
and doggoned if his second horse
didn't get away from him. He wan
dered around again for three or four
days, aud then, when he had given up
completely and laid down to die, some
of the party who had gone out to hunt
him up came across him and carried
him back to camp. 1t is devoutly be-
lieved in Montana that nothing can
kill Granville Stuart. He was II
mighty hunter in those days, too. He
has the record of killing sixteen elk
from one spot without getting up. He
is man of powerful mind, and will
uphold the Stars and Stripes and NIL
that they mean i'll his new position. f"

Advantages of Electricity.

Electric lights, with their clear,
Glenn and odorlcss illumination, cleo.
trio bells and annuncintors are by no
means NIL the uses to which ingenuity
had adapted electricity for tho house
hold. There arc houses in which
every bedroom, closet, statcroom, etc. ;,
Is lighted by lamp which lights itself
automatically whenever the door
Is opened and which shuts itself off
whenever tue door is closed from the
outside. Lights in barn can be con.
trollcd from house. There arc cleo
trio lamps which at will can be
operated either ut full candle power or
Mt much reduced power. Electric
power is being used for operating cle-
vators in residences.
Other appliances of the power in
residences are tho operation of dumb
waitcrs, ventilating fans, leo cream
freczers, etc. Tho adaptation of cleo
tricity to heating is making raid
progress, but Mt present it can no used
moro economically than coal only
when it is generated from water
power. Thus far the heating Of large
spaces by electricity is nm expensive
luxury. Electric cooking is economi-
cal, and, of course, much preferred to
any other method. All sorts of cleo
trio cooking utensils are now in tho
market. These devices and arrange
ments are generally known, but thus
far scarcely any residences have them
nil. In few years, except rs to cleo
trio heating apparatus, they will DO
generally introduced when buildings
are constructed. They will make
domestic labor Lighter and moro
pleasant, and will do away with, even
in isolated and rural quarters, much
drudgery that now falls upon tho
housewife. Detroit Free Press.

A Mysterious Lake.

Although it may not be generally
known outside of New York State, or
perhaps the immediate locality IN
which it is situated, Lake Cayuga is,
nevertheless, one of the wonders OF
the Eastern States. 1t is situated in
West Central New York, and is up
wards of forty miles in length, with
an average breadth Of but three miles.
One of its peculiarities is this: AL
though upwards of 200 persons have
been drowned in it's waters since the
settlement of the adjacent territory,
not a single corpse has so far been re-
covered, and it is II common saying
that "Lake Cayuga never gives up it's
dead" Those who have made M At
tempt TO fathom this mystery say Tint
the bottom of this remarkable sheet
of water is simply series of large
openings and crater-likr cavities, the
entire lake-6el having tho appearance
OF being ono hugo honeycomb, each
of the well-lile holes being rcputed 20
be bottomlcss.
Another Cayuga mystery is its IT,
regular tides. There is no stated time
for their appearance. but when thcy
do come they are very decided, the
water often instantly rcceding fifty TO
100 feet and as quickly returning
with n roar thnt can be heard for

A Move, Engine.

a most curious invention is on exhi-
bition i'll Alton, Ill. the results of some
Investigations into mechanics made by
Charles L. Sparks, OF the Sparks Mill
ing Company, who is fine machinist.
1t is known rs tho 'revolver engine, Z"
and is high speed machine, compact
i'll form and of great power. In ap-
poarancc it resembles the cylinder of
n revolver, with the spindle, or piston,
running through The confer just rs
does the pin OIL which tho cylinder Of
n revolver turns. At one end of the
cylinder is boltcd plate in which aro
perforations, one for each chamber,
and these perforations admit the steam
at mn angle which forces tho cylinder
to revolve, while at the other end is
one perforntion in the shell, which
covers oil, which allows the steam to
escape. At the first mentioned end,
where the revolving piston merges
from the cylinder. is attached the con-
motion from which the power is taken,
while the other end of the piston con-
trolls by means of cog gearing the gov
ernor. This is all there is to tho en-
CINE, and to say that it runs with u
"whiz" is putting it mildly. An eight
horse power engine of this make has
recently been put into the packing
and refrigernting house of Luer Broth
ers to run the dynamo which furnishes
them with electric lights, and gives
the finest satisfaction, while the Hay
den Machine Company.is now making
one Of two-horse power, which will be
placed in locker of the steam yacht

lighting the yacht by electricity.

CINE" is destined to DO n SUCCESS from
the start.--St. Louis Rcpublic.

A Kabylo Marriage.

Tho ceremony among the Kabyles
is interesting because of its compare
tive resemblance to the customs of the
old Greeks and Romans, and even to
those which still prevail i'll seuuestered
parts of France. Hero it is tho girls
father who exacts wedding portion,
sum of about $40, for which the
bridegroom has generally to rely upon
the advances of his friends. Often,
too, the young man has not n house
for his bride, in which case his friends
set to work and build one-no very
difficult matter.
On the wedding dny the bride is led
through tho Villages In tho neighbor-
hood, mounted on mule, and escort
ed by friends and relations, who shout
and fire guns again and again. Tho
various houscholders hasten forth to
offer her n sioveful of beans, nuts or
dried figs. OF these she takes hand
full, which she kisses and then replaces
in the sieve. All tho offerings are col
