They Hold Up Train on the
Queen & Crescent.
Two Killed and Another One
Will Die.
WE'RE EXPECTED
There Were Six of Them in
the Party.
The Whole Affair Was Over in
Ten Minutes.

GREENWOOD, KY, March 27.-One of
the most daring and at the same time
most unsuccessful attempts at train rob-
berry occurred at $3.50 g. m today in the
southern part of Kentucky when six men
undertook to rob the south bound train
No. 3, Qneen & Crescent, which left Gin
cinnati at 8 p. N. last night. One of the
ak was killed outright; another died at
o'clock this morning and third giving
the name of Miller, now lies here severely
wounded. The other three have not
been heard from. The train was delayed
not more than ten minutes and reached
Chattanooga at d. IN. today on time.
The reason fer this summary disposal
of "A body of train robbers is found in the
fact that some tidings of the purpose
had been given to the railroad or express
authorities, and that Mr.. 7. r. Griffin,
who serves as superintendent of police
on the southern road had with him two
tru5ty assistants.
The train had just reached the south
end of tunnel No. 8, which is a mile
north of Greenwood, when the robbers
signalled il to stop. They had scarcely
disclosed their purpose until Mr. Griffin
and his assistants on the train began of
fensive operations, and in ten minutes
three of the robbers had bitten the dust,
the others had flown and the train was
speeding on its way. Not single iniu-
ry was suffered by any one on the train
OF course the treasure in care of the
Adams Express company's messenger
was entirely safe.

TO SAVE THE WELL-TO-DO.
Salvation Army Enters a New Field Ot
Effort.


New YORK, March 27.-The Salvation
Army inaugurated a new departure in
New York in its work of saving souls.
1t held the first meeting of a series in
one of the prosperous churches at Har-
lem, the Calvary Methodist Episcopal
church at Seventh avenue and 10th
street Sunday. The object of the meet
ings is, according to Commander Bal
lington Booth, who has charge of them
to reach s'a higher and more aristocratic
section of society, where the people are
often quite ds much in need of religious
awakening as those in the meshes of
slumdom."
''We are going to fire some hot shot
from this RAIL-" he said at the afternoon
service, and he said later to the reporters
that he was going to speak some plain
truths to the audiences, especially those
in the evenings. and to put facts quite as
bluntly as he puts them in the typical
Salvation Army meetings. 81 am going
to show" he said, E'that it makes no diff
ference to God whether one walks Fifth
avenue in broadcloth or labors in rags,
and that the dwellers behind red cur
tains in pdlatial residences are in as
much need of salvation as the poor peo-
pie among whom we work. Yes, this is
something of departure from our usual
work; but the pastors are with US and
want it done Several have been to me
and have said: You put matters plainly
and We'll be with you; we're back of
voup"

TO START HIS ROOM.
TO START HIS BOOM.
Kohlsaat to Buy a New York
Paper With That Intention.
It Will Support Gov. Mckinley
and a Gold Standard.

CINCINNATI March 27.-The jackson
vile correspondent of the Enquirer con-
firms the statement that Major Mckinley
said if the Republican party declared for
silver he would not be a candidate for
the presidency. Governor Mckinley
thinks there is no middle ground for him
to occupy. The Enquirer man also sends
this about Mr. Kohlsaat:
''H. II. Kohlsaat. the Chicago million
alre business man, was guest AT the
Hanna villa in Thomasville during Nc
Kinley's stay. His presence there and
his frequent talks with Editor Joseph
Medill gave rise to the rumor
cure the Chicago Tribune, with the ute
rior design of making that famous Re-
publican sheet a Mckinley protection
gold organ.
l received his personal assurance a
couple of days ago that he had COM
pletely surrendered that hope. Chicago
| is not the field in which he aspires TO
shine as molder of public opinion. He
/ is now negotiating for the purchase OF
one of the oldest and most influential
newspaper properties in New York, and
expects ere long to complete that deal.
His plans have progressed so far that
erial stats, and is ready to begin active
operations on the day that the transfer ia
made. The policy has already been de.
termined upon. 1t will support McKin-
ley for president upon a platform declar-
ing for protection and sound money,
which, according to Mr. Kohlsaat's views
consists in currency based upon a gold
standard.
The financial department of the
editorial writings is to be in charge
! of a gentleman of national fame
who is expected to educate the public
with conservative screeds based upon {
pronounced stand in favor of golC
standard. When the advanced views Of
! Mr.. Kohlsaat on the currency question
| are fully understood. and when it is
known that he will support no one who
does not subscribe to them, additional
proof that Mckinley is opposed to free
| silver is produced in public"

TWO MEN PLEASED.
Result of the Company's New Desec-
tive Service.

A Result of the Company's New Detec-
tive Service.
CINCINNATI, o., March 27.-The men
wearing the broadest smiles here today
are General Manager Carroll of the
Queen and Crescent route and General
Manager Barratt of the Adams Express
company. 1t is all on account of the ex-
traordinary occurrence at 80 this morn
ing near Greenwood, KY. where, in the
mountains, 175 miles from Cincinnati
and % miles from the state line between
Tennessee and Kentucky, the south
bound train was stopped by six robbers
just as it emerged from the mouth of a
tunnel
General Manager Carroll has no details
of how the battle began or what the tao
tics were. his dispatches being of the
briefest form, dealing only with the
main facts of the great victory.
He is proud of the fact that this ef-
fective service was performed under the
immediate direction of their special
agent in charge of the police department
of the road.
General Manager Barrett of the Adams
express company, who is also delighted
with the brief story of the affair, which
has reached him in about the same form
as it came to the railway officials, says
he looks upon this as an important event
The express company has adopted the
plan of secret service to protect its prop
erty against robbers This is the first re-
suit of the new method
While it is costly, it is infinitely more
effective than any amount of lynxed
eyed detective business employed to ar
rest and punish robbers. Prevention, he
thinks, in the matter is better than cure.
Superintendent Barratt says the robbers
could have had no knowledge of the
amount of money carried by the train,
that they made their attack as a pure
venture He declines to say what would
have been their reward if they had been
successful.

The Topeka Ex-Governor May be Placed
on the Dawes Indian Commission.
A Washington dispatch announces
that Ex-Governor Samuel ]. Crawford
NAV be appointed member of the
Dawes commission by President Cleve
land. If there is one man who knows
more than any other about the Indians it
is Governor Crawford and that is the
reason he has urged for place. on the
commission.
The dispatch says: "Ex- Governor
Samuel ]. Crawford, of Kansas, left for
home today, but he may be compelled to
return soon and receive instructions as
member of the Dawes commission. There
is movement on foot to have him made
a member of that commission; it has
been working for some time in quiet
way and it comes from those who want
something done by the commission in
time TO place some reasonable and prac-
ticable scheme before congress at the
next session.
at is insisted that some one should be
appointed who would be able to do busi-
ness with the Indians and the combin-
alton of whites running that country.
This being the claim in support of MIR.
Crawford, the president is being urged
to give just this one place to the man
who would be able to do business, even
if he is not in line for pie from the ad-
ministration and even if he is a Repub-
lican."

was appointed to investigate the state
boards, and which was aimed directly at
the Populist state board of railroad as

Although the legislature failed to make
an appropriation for this important in

the duty of the committee to go ahead
with its work, and trust to future leg
islature for their pay.
Senator King has written to all the
members of the committee stating his
views of the matter, and he telegraphed
each member of the committee to meet
him here today.
The members of the committee are
Senators King, Taylor, Landis, Scott, and

Senator Taylor is now serving as a

BOOTH PRAISED HIM.
How John Grif1th, Who Plays in 'sFaust
Gained His Good VIII.

Gained His Good viii.
One winter night six years ago Edwin
Booth was playing Richard III in New
York City A young man who was playing
the part of Catesby and had not been on
the stage very long stood watching the
performance from the wings 1t was
getting to the conspiracy scene and
Booth, calling off the stage, said, "what,
ho; buckingham" Booth was calling to
the entrance in which stood the young
Catesby.
Catesby looked around quickly, saw no
Buckingham, and remembered that he
had not been on the stage that night.
The situation was critical, but Catesby
was equal to it.
Picking up Buckingham's lines in
wait of less than five seconds. he went on
and finished as Buckingham that night.
Later in the performance the real
buckingham appeared, but was dis
charged by Mr.. Booth, who said to the
transformed Catesby, "You did well, my
boy; keep that part" And he did.
The quick witted Catesby of that even
ing was the John Griffith who appears
at the Grand this evening as Mephisto in
Faust"
This is Grifath's fourth season out
with Faust and he is only twenty-six
years old.
he Is very angry with Morrison, his
rival. 81 have good reason to be-" he
said today. "He has tried to do me all the
| damage he could In Cincinnati he
wrote personal letters to the newspaper
critics asking them to roast me.
/ OF course they did not do it
| after that We played at Colum-
bus, Ohio, in the fall. Morrison's
company was to play there this month,
five months later When we were billed,
the. town was literally covered with one
sheet posters, reading wait for Morrison.
This fellow is an imposter. The play is
iliegiGimate and the actor is unknown
That was as good as we wanted. We
| opened to 5000, whereas, without that
incident. being strangers, we would not
have had $3.50. And we had good busi-
ness the rest of the week"
Griffith is not particularly enthusiastic
about his audience tonight 81 am un-
known in Topeka, although l have

/ rett, once with .Keene. and once with
! Faust three years ago, and do not ex-
pect to do much business this time" he
said. shall please them the best can
though, and will be back early next fall
to do some business"
Griffith met with good reception in
St Joseph Monday night, and the papers
spoke well of him. He will be at the
Grand tomorrow night also.

Inspector DeVoe Makes That Statement
To Secretary Morton.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-As soon as
the department of agriculture was ad-
vised by Gov Morrill,, of Kansas, of an
alleged outbreak of contagious pleuro-
pneumonia in that state, Secretary Nor
ton detailed Travelling Inspector W. S.
Devoe, of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, to proceed at once
to Kansas and ascertain all
of the facts and his report states posi-
lively there is no pleuro- pneumonia in
the state, and that the suspected animals
are free from the dread disease.
A thorough investigation was made by
him in Kansas. His dispatches to Secre-
tary Morton state most positively
that there was nothing in the
history of animals. nothing in their
appearance and nothing discovered in
post mortem examination, either by the
local veterinarians or by the department
inspector, which indicated remotely that
they were affected with the contagious
pleuro- pneumonia.
The officials at the agricultural depart
ment have maintained from the first
that it is impossible for the disease
in question to break out in Kan
sas, because the contagion had never
existed in that section of the country
and there have been no recent importa
tions of cattle by which it could have
been carried there.
The dispatches sent from Kansas al
leging pleuro- pneumonia, the depart
ment officers say, is a result of an error
occurring because the state veterinarian
was unable to determine the nature of
some disease in cattle that was caused by
local conditions

Venezuelan Government
WASHINGTON, March 27.-Advices re-
ceived here state that Germany has
Rent new minister to Venezuela
and that ne has passed through New
York to his new post This is regarded
as the first step toward an adjustment of
the trouble arising over the departure
from Venezuela of the ministers of
Spain, Germany, France and Belgium
because they had united in a
communication to their governments re-
f1ecting on the president and officers of
Venezuela.
The minis ers of Spain and Germany
withdrew voluntarily and those of France
and Belgium were politely given their
passports. France assumed a somewhat
belligerent aspect, sending a gunboat to
take her minister. The subject has been
watched with interest by the state depart
ment, owing to the part the United
States has taken in the boundary contest
between Venezuela and Great Britain.
