The train robbers are keeping up their
Iick'' in great shape 1t was only a week
ago that the eastbound overland train
leaving this city at 1O:30 P. NJ. was held
up over on the Haggin grant, within four
miles Of this city, and last night the same
train was stopped by highwaymen shortly
after leaving Stockton on its way hither.
In neither instance. however, did the
robbers get nickel for their pains.
AT 1880 o'clock last night telegram
was received at the railroad office from
Conductor Wylie OF the Oregon express
stating that a brakeman from the crew of
No. 3, the eastbound overland passenger
train, which was ahead of his, had tagged
his train between Lodi and Stockton, and
stated that No. 3 had been held up by
robbers who had done considerable
shooting.
The brakeman was unable to state
whether or not anyone was injured, nor
did he know if any booty had been OBJ
tanned.
As soon as Wylie received the brake
mans report he backed his train into
Stockton, notified the authorities and
telegraphed the news to this place.
4 lew minutes after the news was re-
ceived here Superintendent Felix Tracy
of Wells, Fargo & Co. was at the depot
with Sheriff Johnson, Deputy McDon-
aid, Express Company Officers I. j..
Simmons and T. A. Snider and Railroad
Officer William Ahern. All of these, ex-

locomotive sent out at 1910 A. NJ. to bring

who happened to be in the city. and this
of1icious dignitary took it on himself to
deny reporter of the REcoRD-UNIoN-
who also represented the Associated
Press-the privilege Of going out on the
engine to obtain the particulars of the
hoId-up.
He did, however, allow correspondent
of the Examiner to go along. Perhaps
Mr.. Cunningham had some special rea-
son for this act of favoritisrn, but if SO he
will not probably care to explain what it
was.
1t was learned through Superintend-
ent's Wrighfs Office that the robbers
failed in their attempt to blow up the
safe in the express car; that they then
uncoupled the locomotive and rode away
on it. The engine ran as far as the VIII
lage Of Lodi, some twelve miles this side
OF Stockton, where it died" the steam
having been exhausted.
The overland train was in charge oil
Conductor Avery.
The express messenger was Paige. the
same who was on the train held up in
Yolo last October, and it was stated at the
depot that the engineer was Robert Scott.
who was also on that train, but the dis
patch from Stockton says the engineers
name was Inglis.
Messenger Paige shot through both
sides Of the express car at the robbers.
Heopened the small safe and showed them
there was nothing in that. lie could not

Three Children Trampled Under
Horses Hoofs.
Los ANGELES, March 8.-Just as 400
orphans of the Boyle Hights Orphan
Asylum were crossing Broadway at Fifth
street little after o'clock this afternoon,
an affrighted horse dashed down Broad
way across the line, trampling three little
girls under his hoofs and probably kill
ing one Of them and seriously iniuring
two others. The names of the girls are:
Loleta Weaver, aged s years, probably
fatally wounded; Laura Scegor. aged
years, seriously wounded; Julia Santa
Maria, aged 10 years, seriously wounded.
The children had been enjoying the
Citrus Fair, and were on their way home.
The horse, attached to a buggy, came
dashing down upon them, and horri-
fed cry went up from several hundred
spectators on the sidewalk. The run
away was intercepted by several men,
but not until the children had been
knock ed down and trampled upon. They
were placed In a carriage and taken to
the asylum, Loleta Vevear being uncon-
scious. The other two children are
thought to be injured internally.

SAN FRANCISCO, March S.-A terrible
explosion on the tank steamer Bawn

at the Potrero, caused great excitement
in that portion of the city this afternoon.
Two mon were terribly bruised and
burned, receiving what are thought to be
mortal injuries, and the vessel was badly
strained. Everything on board was
thrown into the greatest confusion.
The Bawnmore recently arrived from
Peru with a cargo of crude petroleum,
consigned to j. W. Grace q Co. The
cargo having been discharged, two work
men with q candle went into the tanks to
clean them out. Instantly the explosion
came, shaking the steamer from stem to
stern, twisting the tanks out of position,
and smashing the surrounding wood
work. The two workmen were carried
out in an iDsensible coudition.
