DENVER, Col. Oct. 21.-A special to
The News from Cripple Creek, says;
Town Marshal Dan Benton OF Goldfield
was instantly killed and Frank Smith,
Andy Coyle and Frank Stevens seriously
wounded in a spirited battle in the little
town OF Goldfield, at the foot of Bull
Till, In which revolvers, shot-guns and
rifles were called into play. A month ago
trouble was caused by the confiscation OF
a revolver by police officer. The weapon
was the property of Prank Smith, sa-
loon keeper, who demanded that II be re-
turned to him. Accompanied by friend
named Cook, both heavily armed, they
again presented the demand TO Marshei
Benton, who refused TO give up the revol-
ver The marshal ana deputy, j. T..
Burt. retreated TO a cabin for the purpose
OF arranging their arms. Smith and Cook
stationed themselves about hundred feet
from the door and awaited the reappear-
ance of the officers. The marshal and his
deputy each stepped out with revolver
in hand. Benton called to the two men
to throw up their hands and as they did
not comply, began firing. The battle was
desperate; the four men kept firing rapid
ly for several minutes. Soon Marshal
Benton fell dead with bullet through
his heart and Smith went TO the ground
with bad wounds. A yell of pain came
from Frank Stevens, bystsnder, one oil
his arms being almost torn from his body.
ANDY Coyle had taken the part OF the off,
GERS and received bullet in his thigh.
The battle caused intense excitement over
the hills.

NE W MAIL CARS.
A Train Of Robber Proof
Construction.
No Platforms for Outlaws to Stand
on and No Glass Doors.
Train Looks as Though IL Had No
Joints Until IL Rounds q Curve.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.--A robber proof
train OF mail cars pulled out of Jersey
City early yesterday morning for st.
Louis. II isn't armor clad or mounted
with turret guns, yet it is strong enough
to stand heavy strain, and there are
no places on 1t where a train robber can
find a footing.
These cars are just from the shops OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
were built especially for the new service
which the post Office department has es-
tablished between New York ard st.
Louis. One OF them, No. q, has been on
exhibition in the yards OF the Central
Railroad OF New Jersey, in Jersey City,
and others reached the yards late last
night.
The new train left at half-past foyr
o'clock in the morning and reached st.
Louis at noon today. On the way back
the New York mail will be assorted &C.
cording TO sub-stations and will be ready
for distribution to the various postal de-
pots upon the arrival in New York.
LIKE CENTIPEDE.
The postal train is a curious sort of an
affair. Most trains look like a procession
OF turtles This has the appearance OF a
big centipede. There are no platforms.
and there is so little space between the
cars that the joints OF the big centipede
do not show except when the train goes
around curve.' On straight track il
looks like one long car.
In the stories of train robberies the
outlaws usually leap on the platform of
the postal cars and shoot the clerks
through the glass in the doors. In this
uew car his rQrfOrfmancQ cQuld not be
carried through. There are no platforms,
and only one end door, which is solidiy
barricaded. There ia small trap door
OF solid wood at the other, but that i
hardly big enough for a man to crawl
through. There are two doors on each
! side forsthe delivery and receipt OF mail.
WILL NOT TELESCOPE.
Tho car is built of heavy and solidlj
| joined timbers, and bullets could bardl,
penetrate it. The sides and the top ar
strongly braced. II there were smash
up on the road this car could be in the
| worst of IL and perhaps pot suffer much
! The ends are strengthened by heav.
| tim bers and iron braces, which piotec
| the carriages from being telescoped.
When there is an accident on the rail
| road the postal cars, which are in front
have to bear the bruDt OF the smaahup
! They are demolished first, and the lives o
| many postal clerks are lost. These ney
cars insure the clerks, to a large extent
against the dangers OF robbers and acci
dents.
| COMFORT BESIDES STRENGTH
The cars are comfortably furnished
They are light, well ventilated, and ar
more comfortable than many a postotiic
in government buildings. Each car car
ries three tanks OF gas, under pressur
of 36 atmospheres. The light is furpishe
from twelve chandeliers, and the travelin
postoffice is as light as day even at mid
| night.

The FIRST SN0WST0RM.
Some Snow Storms That Have Hap.
pened Early Before.


Although the boot black said this morn
ING, when the nipping and eager air pre-
dicted snow, that Ii could not be done,
il was done just the same and precisely
at e:O6 a. m., the first snow OF the season
fell. Ii was only "spit," but still 1t
was snow and many people thought from
its incipient beginning that II would
snow all day, and later on snow hard at
that. ,
The weather man at the city hall had
something TO cay about the arst snow
storms OF the season during the past
ten years and II appears that decent fall
OF snow in October Is unusual, although
not unprece dented. On Oct. %, 1891, two
inches OF snow fell, but that was severe
storm for the season. The first snow in
1894 was on November and when four
and one.half inches fell. On Dec. and
IA, 1893, two and one-half inches fell and
on Dec. b. same year, four and one-h I
inches came down. Nov. B, 1892, saw the
fret snow, amounting TO one-qurster OF
an inch. In previous years the first snow
fall was too small to be measured, occurring
on the following dates: 1880, Nov. Zoi
1886, Nov. 14 1887, Nov 1; 1883, Oct. y;
1889, Dec. 3; 1890. Nov. %
According TO the city hall thermometer
the lowest temperature recorded today
was between 5 and 1880 a. m, when the
mercury stood at 80 above. In the street
the thermometer undoubtedly registered
FROM one to five degrees lower.

COM MON COUNCIL.
Charles Street Differences TO Have
Another Airing.
The Several Phases of the Problem to
BE Submitted by the Committee.

The Common Council will be in session
this evening and while no repetition OF
the all-night meeting Of two weeks ago IS
anticipated, there is a prospect OF much
talk relative to the somewhat thresdbare
subject of Charles street Improvement.
The progress of tho case so far Is as fol-
lows; The committee on highways was
authorized by Joint resolution to report
plans and specifications Tor the layout OF
Charles street at a width OF either 6I, ~
or so feet, as they deemed best, by taking
land on either side.
The oommittee recommended layout at
the 60-foot limit and resolution to that
effect was passed by both branches OF
the CITY Council Ii was however part
OF a double resolution which provided
for Canal street as we'll. This was declared
as null by the city solicitor and new resolu-
ton, the same as that passed In July,
was passed by the Common Council, pro-
yiding only for Charles street and again
making the proposed width 60 feet. The
Aldermen would not concur the second
time but passed resolution, presented
by Alderman Watson, calling for 80 feet.
This was sent to the Common Council and
referred by that body TO the highway
committee. This evening that committee
will make practically three reports. The
first will be an estimate OF the cost OF lay
ing out the street in accordance with the
resolution passed by the Board OF Alder
meu Oct. 3. There Will also be plans and
estimates for taking all the land between
Charles and Bark streets between Lock
and Orms streets and making Charles
street so feet wide between Lock and
Orms street; the third plan to be brought
up this evening would provide for max
ing Charles street so feet wide between
| Mill and Stevens streets.
THE committee on highways have never
| been asked to figure on a street 20 feet
| wide and that measurement has not been
| considered.
The bill for an ordinance allowing the
| Union Railroad Company to lay double
| tracks in Washington street and Miilcr
avenue which has already been laid on
| the table three times is on the docket
for tonight and will in all probability,
| be passed.
| In concurrence with the Board the Coun
| Gil will undoubtedly pass resolutions ap
propriating 5000 and $4,000, for Foundation
| walls of two new school houses, and th'
chances are that the Board resolution tC
get authority from the Legislature to pay
t3i, 900 for more land for Davis Park vii
be referred to the finance committee.
The proposed expenditure does not
meet with unanimous approval 10y any
means, either i'm or ont of city hall.
There ~ long docket OF business tC
come from the committee on claims.
