40 SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
Green Bay Street Car Magnates Cannot
Come to Terms.

Green Bay, Wis, Sept. 19.-[Special.l
Another abortiye attempt was made
yesterday to induce some action on the
part of the council that would hasten a
connection between the street railways
of the east and west sides, James Tier
nan and J. L. Wilcox, leading merchants
of the west side, setting forth the de-
mand Of the people on their side of the
river for speedy connection and calling
the attention of the council to the fact
that it was one of the stipula tons in
the annexation understanding last spring.
They were so coldly received by the bus-
ness men approached on the east side
that they gave up further effort in anger
and disgust. Both these gentlemen were
active and effective workers for the
union of the two cities last spring, but
they openly declare now that had they
known what the outcome would be they
would have worked fully as hard against
consolidation. In the meantime DR..
Holmes and Mr.. Mccartney of the east
and west side lines appear to be farther
away from an understanding than they
were six months ago

Express Safe.

Waupaca. Wis. Sept. 20.-There was q
most daring train robbery perpetrated
here last night 1t is almost a miracle
that no one was killed in the wreck
which was caused by distractions placed
on the track by the bandits. who had
also loosened the spikes of the rails. And
it is also equally surprising that none
of the panc-stricken passengers or train
men were killed by the fuslade of shots
which the robbers fred at the cars and
through the windows to brighten them
and prevent their taking part in any
attempt to Illustrate the robbery.
The train attacked was the passenger
and mail train No from st. Paul on
the Wisconsin Central railroad. Con
ductor Whitney and Engineer Blaine
were in charge. When it had reached q
swamp three miles west of this city the
engine struck an obstruction on the tracH

covered by revolvers and told to remain
quiet. orders which they were obliged to
obey. s
The robbers at once began to fire and
it was evident to the passengers that the
train had. been attacked by bandits,
whom they momentarily expected to APP
pear There was great hurrying to
hide their valuables. But the robbers
only made a raid on the express car, the
doors of which were beaten or blown
open.J The conductor said there might
have been two or dozen men in the at
lacking party, he could not tell.
Twelve sticks of dynamite were eX-
ploded on the safe without avail. They
could not open it, and finally fled without
iniuring anyone or getting any booty.
The wreck is a bad one and it will take
several hours to clear the track.
The passengers were assured that the
danger was over, and they brought their
money, watches and valuables out from
their temporary hiding places. The eX-
press car was almost blown to pieces.
The passengers were taken back to
