ROBBERS IN AN EXPRESS CAR
Bold Attempt to Make a Big
Haul of Money.
GOT ON THE TRAIN AT JERSEYCITY
But Fortunately Broke Into the
Wrong Car.
Opened Many Packages of Merchandise,
But Took Nothing of vaiue-Stoppod tho
Train at Morrisyiile, Pa, aud Fled-ofn-
GERS in Pursuit

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. f6. Three
desperate men made an attempt last
night to rob the Adams Express money
car on the train leaving the Pennsyl-
yania railroad station, Jersey City, at
8 O'Clock. Fortunately for the express
company, the men made a mistake and
got into car No. 5945, which contained
only merchandise.
The men boarded the car in Jersey
City and after the train had pulled out
of the depot they pried the door open
and secreted themselves in the car.
Their presence on the train was not
known until the train had reached
Worthwhile, Pa, a town on the oppo-
site side of the Delaware river from
Trenton. Here the men, evidently be-
coming alarmed at being uncomforta-
bly, close to Philadelphia, put on the
air brake and brought the train to a
standstill. The conductor and brake
man hurried back to learn the cause of
the sudden stop. When they were
within few yards of express car No.
5945 they saw three men jump from it
and run down the tracks and cross the
fields, In the opposite direction from
Morrisville.
Upon examination by the trainmen
it was found that the men had entered
the car by forcing open the front door.
On the floor of the express car lay the
contents of between 20 and 80 packages
The goods had been scattered all over
the car, but nothing had been taken,
the robbers, evidently peing in search
of money, not merchandise.
The police authorities of Morrisville
and Trenton were at once notified and
in less than an hour after the attempted
robbery, officers were securing the sur
rouning country for the daring would
be robbers, who are supposed to be
railroad tramps.
Manager Herring of Adams Express
Co., when seen this morning by re.
porter of the Associated Press, said
that while the men had broken. open a
number of packages containing mer-
chandise, they had apparently taken
nothing from the car. In any event,
he said, the loss to the express com
pany would be trifling.
Private detectives in the employ of
the express company have been sent
to the scene of the attempted robbery
to aid in running down the robbers.
This train is known as "No. 3,
Adams Express on the p, W. % B.

An oil tank at the Wilmington NAL
leable iron works exploded at about
midnight on Sunday, and Bayard Wild
doves, William Neall and Jacob Ant
weller were badly burned. The explo-
sion was caused by Autweiler, who is
the watchman, going to the tank and
placing latern inside to sec how much
oil it contained. Dr. Miller looked
after the injured men, after which
they were removed TO their homes.
Widdowos lives at No. 5l6 Shearman
street, Neall at COB Shipley street and
Antweiler at No. 1912 Pine street. The
burns received by the men are not seri-
Gus. At the time of the explosion an
alarm of fire was turned in, and the
apparatus in the district responded.
The Washington chemical engine was
pressed into service. The lad William
Neal displayed great heroism. He
jumped on an oil car and turning off
the brakes allowed it to run down an
incline to safe place. Otherwise the
accident might have been more serious.

IT was not only the wheelmen who
contributed TO the success of the great
demonstration, but also hundreds of
citizens and business men, who illumi-
mated their houses and places of bust
ness and to many who set off fireworks
as the wheelmen passed by. 1t would
occupy too much space to so into do
tail as 10 descriptions, but ii was in
deed gratifying TO the members of the
club TO know that they attracted SO
much favorable attention for their fel
ow-citizens, and the officers and mem
bcrs of the club desire to extend their
thanks and acknowledge their ap-
probation of the attention shown them
on all sides, and still better demon
stration is promised for next spring, il
everything is favorable.
The Wilmington Bicycle Club has
covered itself with glory in celebrating
the completion of the first year of its
existence and the beginning of its
second year. Commencing with the
magnificent anniversary exercises last
Friday night, the festivities have been
most enjoyable. With the winning of
the prize in the great Philadelphia
parade, and the conduct of the grandest
cycle demonstration ever seen in Will
mington, tho affair has been exceed
ingly gratifying. There is no doubt
but that the club has the good will of
the community and all wish it con-
tinued prosperity, such as it is now
enjoying.
