Trnmps Tried to Hold Up nm Express
IN,

Train.
BLOOMINGTON. ILL.,, May 1.-The Chica-
go and Alton express, due here at am.
was held up by robbers half a mile north
Of Carlinville. Macoupin county, last night
Three men boarded the locomotive and Or
dered the engineer. Frank Holmes of this
city, to hold up his hands. He refused, and
was shot and instantly killed. Three shots
were fired. All three robbers were caught
and Jailed at Carlinville.
The one who shot Holmes was captured
by a mail clerk as he was getting off the
cab. No one else was hurt. The murderers
climbed upon the blind baggage car, sup
posedly at Carlinville. From there they
climbed over the tender and ordered En-
gineer Frank Holmes to stop the train and
Immediately began firing. Holmes was kill
ed at the first fire. Fireman Frank Tuggle
escaped injury.
Fireman Tuggle then ran the train back
to Carlinville. 1t Is not known whether
robbery was intended or not.
Engineer Holmes yesterday, when going
south. at Carlinville compelled some tramps
to get off the train and also ran some
tramps Off that were burning cars on a
''Y," and 1t is thought that some of these
men are his murderers. Holmes home is
at Bloomington.

they say, was done by tramps. John j.
Mitchell of st. Louis, a director of the
road. who was on the train. said today:
1T Is absurd to talk of a train robbery in
connection with that affair. The three
tramps simply intended to take possession
Of the tender and ride free. They climbed
aboard and Engineer Holmes ordered them
OFF. When they refused to leave he picked
up piece of coal to throw. when one of
the men fired with fatal result. There was
evidently TO intention on the part of the
men to attempt robbery

DenunciattOn of Proposed Dedication
of a Confederate Monument.
BOSTON. Mass, May 2-Department
Commander Joseph A. Thayer of the G. A.
r. of Massachusetts today sent out the
following letter to all the Grand Army
posts in the state:
What seems 70 me to be a most extraor-
binary proceeding in this great nation Of
ours is advertised to take place at Chi
cago on Memorial day of this year wherein
a monument to the memory of the confed-
crate dead Is to be dedicated.
1t was an outrage to every true Union
man that the monument was ever erected:
but now insult Is added to injury by the
selection of our Grand Army Sabbath on
which to consecrate a shaft set up to COM
memorate the deeds of men who did all in
their power to destroy the government we
fought to save-and this north of Mason
and Dixon's line.
Comrades, the blood of our martyred
Lincoln. of our noble Grant and of all
the men who struggled in freedoms cause,
cries out in protest against this BIAS
phemy. 1t Is not within my province to
issue in general orders a command to our
posts to take action condemning this pro-
posed performance, butt sincerely hope
that the comrades of this department will
In no uncertain manner place themselves on
record as resenting such exercises.
The dedication would have taken place
enc year ago. but for the fact that funds
TO meet the expenses could not be secured
and 1t was postponed. 1t Is shame and
wonder that it should come now. or ever.
Bad as 1t is that any memorial should be
raised to the perpetlIation of the love Of
treason in any portion Of our fair land.
this is infinitely worse. And II we COM
plain because those who fought on the
other side still glorify their deeds, what
shall We say of administration which

cannon with which to decorate and embel-
lish the ground on which this shaft stands ?
That. as stated in the public press, has
been done. Should all this take place and
we remain silent? 1 say No, a thousand
times No.

Claus Spreckles, the sugar hEg," for
alleged SANDER. C. A. Spreckles devoted

They Had Been FOraHiRE for MaceO,
but Were Driven Awny.
NEW YORK, May "A special TO the
World from Kingston, Jamaica, says:
A boat load of fugitive insurgents ar
rived at Port Antonio recently. They left
Cuba Saturday night from a point near
guantanamo. They were part of the force
with Gen Maceo, who was camped in the
mountains back of Guantanamo, where he
was concentrating his strength to give
Campos battle as soon as he landed. But
Gen. Campos changed his plan and ilisem-
barked at Santiago. While waiting, Maceo's
to Port Antonio were on an expedition Of
soldiers, who literally drove them into the
sea at a lonely part of the coast. On the
shore they found a small fishing boat, in
which they hurriedly embarked and put
out to sea. Favored by wind and tide, they
eventually made Port Antonio.
gunboat was sent in pursuit as soon as
one could be obtained. but the fugitives had
winning start. This was the gunboat
that created SO much excitement at Port
Antonio on Wednesday morning by run
ming In after the Boston steamship Ethel
red. By that time the Cubans had scat
tered.
Passengers on the steamer O1ivette at
Jacksonville, from Havana, last night give
an account of a battle near Bayaino on
Monday between Maxine Gomez. in COM
mand of 2, 600 men. and 5000 Spanish troops
commanded by Gen. Salcedo. The Span
iards, the passengers say. were repulsed
with heavy loss, while the Cubans loss was
very small.

throng crowded the church to it's capacity
and many persons were unable to gain ad-

Prospect Of Settling the Dispute Of
the Coal Roads
READING LIKELY TOMAKE CONCESSIONS
Changers Were Steady Under Fair
Demand.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Openiag prices this
morning compared favorably with last
nights closing. and were well sustained on
a small volume of business. London cables
reflected some irregularity in that market,
but improved quotations were in the ma
Jority. The probable adoption of Lacka-
wanna's suggestion to fix the anthracite
output for the month of May at 20 per
cent Of the capacity encouraged moderate
purchases of the coal stocks on an advance
ing scale.
1t was also intimated that Headings rep
resentatives were willing to make moderate
concessions from the p per cent so stub
bornly contended for at previous meetings.
Inc grangers were steady, under a fair
demand, the bond syndicate's determine
ton to support st. Paul encouraging pur-
chases OF Its neighbors in anticipation Of
a sympathetic advance. Covering of short
sales added substantial fractions to North
vests early figures, but In the main senti-
ment, especially among traders, is bearish
on this property.
In the industrial group Sugar resumed its
old position as leader of activity. The
market price for the refined product was
well sustained at yesterdays advance and
certain grades were further advanced 1-16
OF cent pound.
The stock was in good demand up to 113,
but at this point the temptation to take
profits was yielded to by skeptical follow
ers Of the pool. and opening prices were
soon restored.
Renewed buying at the decline marked I'D
the price to the highest point of the day,
OILY to be met with new sales and Sec
ond setback. The upward movement has
not eliminated. but from now on the ma
nipulating interest would prefer to choose
its associates and avoid the presence of
timid traders whose fears might result In
an untimely selling movement.
Chicago Gas was advanced IA per cent
on what was described as good buying. and
United States Leather was in good demand
at an advance Of per cent over initial
figures.
The comparatively easy tone Of the for
eign exchange market, noticed yesterday,
continues, and is an encouraging factor of
the present situation, inasmuch as there is
less actual need Of syndicate influence to
keep rates below the gold shipping point.
The foreign demand for good bonds is
increasing and as this condition Invariably
precedes stock inquiry, the best Informed
interests in the street are decidedly opti-
mistic nj their predictions Of the immediate
future of speculation. and anticipate now
important reaction at this time.

Suit for Insurance.

Chaplin Brown, as trustee. this afternoon
entered suit-at-law to recover $500 from
the Commercial Fire Insurance Company
Of the District of Columbia 1t is claimed
that September II, 1898. the defendant
company agreed to insure the stock and
fixtures of Philip Walker, shoe dealer at
434 9th street northwest. The following
month Walker assigned the policy to
Parker & Walker. Later the firm gave to
a deed of trust on the policy. The stock
was destroyed by fire December 26, 1893, SO
1t is alleged in the bill, and although all
requirements have been compiled with, the
company refuses to pay the insurance.
Hence the suit.
