STOLE A BIG PILE OF SILVER
TRAIN ROBBERS MAKE 4 BIG HAUL
IN ARIZONA.

Two Men Board the Train and Force
the Engineer. Fireman aud
brakeman "a DetRch the Mail ana
Express Cars and Pull Them Two
Miles - Two More Highwaymen
Waiting There for Them and the
safe Blown Open.
San Francisco. Jan. 3l.-Omcials of the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company were
notified this morning Of the robbery of
the west-bound overland train last night
at $50 O'Clock, near Wilcox, Ariz. The
safe was blown open with dynamite by
masked men and $4,000 in Mexican silver
taken.
Five men were engaged in the robbery,
four having been present at the place
where the express car was looted, while
the fifth is known to have been in the
company OF those four when they were
seen in and about Wilcox previous to the
robbery.
The actual work of the robbery was
done by two men, who boarded the cars
at Wilcox, and when two miles west Of the
town suddenly appeared in the cab of the
engine with drawn pistols and compelled
the engineer to stop the train. While
one of the robbers kept him covered the
other made the fireman and brakeman cut
the express and mail cars loose from the
rest of the train. The engineer was then
made to pull the two detached cars about
two miles to a culvert, where two more of
the gang were found holding horses for
the entire party. 1t was here that the
safe was blown open, the men with the
horses having brought explosives.
Six explosions were effected by the rob-
bers before they felt satisfied with their
work. As a result the top and sides of the
express car were thoroughly shattered
and the express company's safe was
blown to pieces. A great deal of money
was scattered about and the express agent
from Wilcox who visited the scene, picked
up about 200 Mexican dollars. which the
robbers had not been able to collect Be
sides the $4,000 in Mexican money there
was considerable coin on the train which
| had been sent to pay employees along the
line.
After the robbery the men rode in
southerly direction. Sheriff Fly and four
men left Wilcox Tor the scene Of the rob-
berry this morning and shortly afterward
Deputy Sheriff Howard set out with two
men. Scott White also took posse out
from Tombstone with the hope of heading
! off the robbers. Special Agent Breckin-
/ ridge of the Souther Pacific has also gone
to the scene with two Indian trailers, his
purpose being to take the back trail and
/ find out where the robbers came from A
/ tough citizen named Grant Wheeler is
/ supposed to be the inspiring genius of the
| affair.

CHIckAAAuGA's PosroFFIcE.
Representative Maddox Achieves a
Notable Victory in Respect to II.

Representative Maddox Achieves a
Notable Victory in Respect to II.
Washington, Jan. 31.-Representative
Maddox is receiving congratulations upon
his victory in the Chickamauga postofioe
case. When your correspondent talked
with him on the subject he said he had
received no official notification Of the
fact that there is to be no change in the
name of the Chickamauga office, except
the statement in these. dispatches last
Monday. When he was informed that
the information came direct from the
postoffice officials, he was quite satisfied
and proceeded TO relate some of the I'M
pleasant experiences he encountered at
the postoffice department in connection
with that case
As was previously stated in these dis
patches, there has been a hidden hand
at work to bring about change in the
name of the Chickamauga Office Mr..
Maddox, as a representative of that dis
trict, had a right to know all the details
involved in the suggested change. At the
postoffice department "a cloak of mystery
surrounded the whole affair. and it was
impossible for Mr.. Maddox to induce
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell to reveal the true motive for
the proposed change of name. Gen.
Maxwell pretended to be ignorant of the
entire transaction, and was disposed to
avoid Mr.. Maddox when ne called at the
department to urge consideration of the
case.
A few days ago Mr. Maddox visited
the department and read the riot act''
to the officials in charge, and declared
that as the lawful representative of the
citizens of Chckamauga. he proposed TO
have fair treatment or know the reason
why. He said he was weary of being
put off from time to time, with vague and
unsatisfactory statements from Gen
Maxwell and his assistants. He said hC
would appeal to the Postmaster General
and failing to obtain satisfaction there
he would carry the matter before the
President If the executive branch of the
government refused to listen to his appeal
he would introduce a resolution in the
House demanding an investigation of the
matter and press it TO the bitter end
He took occasion to inform the postofiice
officials that a representative in congress
was entitled to civil treatment at the
hands of the subordinat5s of the govern
ment, and so far as he was Individually
concerned, he proposed to be treated with
ordinary courtesy, or know the reason
why.
After delivering his ultimatum he re-
turned TO the capitol to await develop
nents. a few days later your correspond
ent was informed at the department that
the contest in favor Of changing the name
of the Chickamauga had been aban-
doned.

jacksonville Fla, Jan. 31.-Richard X.
Fox. the proprietor Of the Police Gazette,
thinks that Corbett will win the fight

confidence that the fight would be pulled

When asked if he thought Fitzsimmons
had any objections to coming to Jack

iank he had. Why should he?" con-
,7l5d he, this is decidedly the place
for It,"
Mr.. Fox was asked if the people in the
l9Fth had confidence in the fight taking
pace here, and he replied that that was
hard question to answer
att. FOX is of the opinion that the recent
Aa'ns IN the ring have, as a matter of
oUse' hurt the sport to a certain ex-

Radicals Oppose n Grant on Account
of His NouarcbtoI Record.

of His MonarchinI Record.
Paris, Jan. 31.-In the Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day the government asked for a
credit of 10000 francs. for the purpose OF
defrsying tho expenses of a state funeral
for Marshal Canrobert.
NJ Hubbard. radical. opposed the pro-
posal on account OF his action at the time
of Marshal Bazaine's reasonable surren-
der at Metz. and his ceaseless opposition
to the republic. which ended only with his
death.
Premier Ribot pointed out that the mat
ter was simply one of rendering the hon.
age Of the army to the person of a hero.
The sitting throughout was a stormy
one, the socialists haunting NJ. Ribot with
having formerly been a servant Of the
empire, while the members Of the right
employed obstructive tactics TO prevent
NJ. Hubbard from speaking. which they
were successful in doing for twenty min
utes.
Urgency was finally voted upon the
grant and the obsequles of Marshal Cam
robert were fixed for Sunday next.
The chamber acquiesced in the govern
ments request for the Canrobert credit by
a vote of 2ss to $50.
King Alexander of Servia was present
during the debate in the chamber and
later visited the Senate, where the amnesty
bill was under consideration.
