TOLEDO, O., July 81. -TheEVestboun
New York and Chicago express on the
Lake Shore g. Michigan Southern rail-
way was held up by six masked men at
1880 this morning at a lonely place in
the woods, knownas Recess siding, be-
tween Archibald and Stryker, o, about
10 miles west of Wauscon. The train
stops there to let tho western express
pass. The latter train was approach
ing when the robbery took place. The
robbers were mounted and rode out of
the woods, which are dense and close
to the track. Conductor Darling who
was standing by one of the coaches
was ordered inside at the point
Of a revolver. Admission to the
express car was obtained by the same
means, and the messenger was forced
to open the safe. The robbers were
evidently familiar with the train, and
it is thought that employees of the rail
road company or of the express com"
pany must be implicated, either as
principals or as confederates. 1t was
undoubtedly known to the bandits
that an unusually large sum was in
the express safe last night. The
amount reported to have been obtained
by them is said to be IS, 200, but it is
believed that much larger sum was
taken. No attempt was made to mo-
lest the passengers, none of whom
knew anything of the occurrence.
When the thieves had secured the con-
tents of the safe, they rode quietly
away.
Italians Being Murdered.
New ORLEANS, July pa third Sc
ries of Italian assassinations was re-
ported yesterday from Elm Hall plan
tation in Ascension parish, near DON
alJsonville. The assassin is supposed
to be the man who fred into the house
of Giordano on Friday, killing three
and seriously wounding four persons.
This occurred in St John. On Monday
in st. james, the neighboring parish,
Vincent Uldo and his wife were way
laid on the public road by an unidenti-
fed assassin and were killed. Yester-
day an Italian entered the Ital-
ian quarters at Elm Hall planta-
ton in Ascension parish, the
next one to st. James, and without
the slightest provocation fred into the
cabin of Filipo Russo, mortally wound
ing him and also his 4-year-old boy.
The assassin left plain trail behind
him and the sheriff with posse fol-
lowing it arrested an Italian who gave
his name as Salvatore Puglizi. The
authorities have every reason to be-
lieve that he committed the three
murders in st. John parish and per-
haps is the murderer of the Uldos on
Monday. The Italians along the coast
are much alarmed by these murders.
They all say that the malta is at the
bottom of the affair.
