Mora Might be Entrapped.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-An
agreement has been signed by
Secretary of State Olney, Minister
Delome, Of Spain, Antonio Maxine
Mora and Morals counsel, provid-
ing for the settlement of the Mora
claim on a basis of $1,500,000 on
the 10Th Of September next. By
the agreement the claimant
valves all demands for interest
and accepts the amount named as
full satisfaction of the claim.
There is only one point on which
it appears possible there may yet
be hitch. The Spanish govern
ment insists the payment shall be
made by Captain General Campos,
in charge OF the Spanish forces in
Cuba, and that the money shall be
transferred to Mora or his repre-
sentatives in Havana. Mora does
not accept this condition and in
sists that as the settlement is the
result of negotiations between
Spain and the United States the
payment should be made either in
Madrid or Washington.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Aug. 2l.-The
Democratic State convention as
sembled here today under peculiar
circumstances. Usually the con.
tests are for nominations, between
rival delegations for seats and be-
tween fighting factions for plat.
form planks, and between other
elements for almost everything ex-
cept places on the ticket. The sill
yer men realized yesterday they
are in the minority, but when the
committee on credentials during
the night reduced their number so
materially by seating what is
known as the "Brice Boilers" from
Cleveland, the silver men resolved
to make trouble.
Ex-Governor Campbell gave out
that he would get in the conven-
ton and decline the gubernatorial
nomination IL 1t was rendered him.
Ex-Congressman Mcmahon and
Congressman Sorg, who were men,
toned for standard bearers, also
gave out that they would not &C.
cept. The silver men met and re-
solved to have free coinage man
on the ticket il they could secure it.
Several personal encounters were
features Of the night meetings, and
feelings were no better when the
delegates assembled. AS the Brice
men had everything their only
consideration was to avoid further
trouble.
Senator c. S. Brice was the pre-
siding officer of the convention.
The platform was adopted except
the portion providing for both a
gold and silver standard on an
equal basis, which was lost.

UNION PACIFIC TRAIN ROBBED.
Three Men Hold the~Train and Rob
the Express Car, Using Dyna-
mite A Smart Fireman.

GoTHENBURG, Neb., Aug. 2l.-
Last night, shortly after mid.
night, the east bound overland flyer
on the Union Pacific railway, was
held up at Buttermilk Hill, about
two miles this side of Brady
Island. Three men were visible,
according to Conductor Flynn's de-
scription, and it seems the gang
got on the train at Brady Island,
going forward over the tender, az
ter the train was in motion, and
with revolvers drawn, held up the
fireman and engineer, and CON-
PEELED the latter to 60 back to the
baggage car and gain admittance.
The expressman was compelled to
open the smaller safe. He could
not open the larger combination
safe, and the robbers proceeded
to blow the top out with
dynamite. In the meantime the
fireman managed to give them the
slip, and going forward he uncoup-
led the engine from the train and
made the run to Gothenburg for a
posse Of men to help capture the
bandits. In short time twenty
volunteers were en- route for the
scene of the robbery, but before they
arrived the robbers had disap-
peared. The bandits wore black
SLOUGH hats with black silks hand.
kerchiefs for masks. They were
roughly dressed and rode horses,
The windows were all blown out OF
the baggage car by the explosion,
When the dynamite exploded the
passengers were much excited, but
were not molested. The section
foreman at Vroman saw some men
around the place Of the rob-
berry for several days and has
a good description of them,
A posse has already been sent out
from North Platte and Brady
Island and every effort is being
made to capture the robbers before
they get out of the country. 1t is
impossible yet to learn the amount
OF booty secured.
