robbed by two masked men near Nc

manded him to stop the train, and
marched him to the express car, in
charge of Messenger ]. W. Massey.

as was also Conductor Harris, who
had come out in the meantime. They
took the money Harris had on his per-
son. The amount of money taken from

the safe in the express car the bandits
compelled the messenger TO assist them.

estimated at $4,000. The watch and
chain taken from Conductor Harris
was returned to him upon his assur-

LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL.
His Death Fills the Hearts of All
EngIishmen With Pity.

HIS Death Fills the Hearts OF All
EngIishmen With Pity.
London, Jan. 25.-In an editorial this
morning the Times says that the pre-
mature death Of Lord Randolph
Churchill filed with pity the hearts of
Englishmen throughout the world. His
character was marked by defects that
were amost as striking as his merits
His gravest and most conspicuous fault
was his apparent want of general prin-
ciples in the formation of his policy
and the guidance of his conduct. He
was content to fight the battle of the
day and rarely looked to the future
His story is a sad one and not without
impressive lessons to ambitious men
of all parties.
The Daily News says taat Lord Ran
dolph Churchill had many faults Of
temper and character. He was not
high minded. He was neither esteemed
a fast friend or a, royal colleague: but
now that it is possible to realize the pc
culiarities of his constitution and his
physical ailments q. larger and more
charitable Judgment will be passed
upon him by the world.
All the papers publish similar express
sfons of regret and comments on his
shortcomings.
Winston Churchill, son of the late
Lord Randolph Churchill, says his
fathers death was peaceful and pain
less.
This morning a private funeral ser
vice for the family only was held at
the Churchill residence on Grosyenor
square.
The mother of the late Lord Randolph
Churchill, Frances Anne Emily,
Duchess of Marlborough, and vie of
the seventh Duke of Marlborough, is

within ten or twelve miles of st. Joseph

What happened then will probably never
be known. However, it is easy to say
what might have been. That Captain
