Wednesday night of its fourth holdup
by road agents. At 900 o'clock the St
Louis and Chicago express on the Chi
cago and Alton Road, which left Kansas
City at 8:45, was tagged ut Blue Cut
and came to a standstill. 1t is the same
train that was held up two months ago.
Masked men Immediately covered the en-
gineer and fireman and compelled them
to get down from their cab. At the same
time another member of the bandit gang
uncoupled the express car from the rest
of the train, and before the surprised
train men had time to collect their wits
the bandits were speeding down the steep
grade beyond Blue Cut with the engine
and express coach. Express Messenger
A. l.. Frier, of st. Louis, was prisoner
in the express car. Kansas City officials
of the United States Express Company
say the train carried very little cash, but
that the car was filed with an enormous
amount of miscellaneous express of great
value. Christmas boxes made up a con-
siderable amount of the treasure. En-

Awful Explosion Comes.
About twenty men were all at work in
the mine, clearing up the debris result
ing from a recent explosion, when no one
was injured. Suddenly there was flash.
followed by binding explosion. The
smoke and gas came rushing from the
mouth of the mine, and the alarm was ut
once given. The scene around the shaft
was pitiful one, the wives, children ana
relatives of the men below shrieking and
wringing their hands in anguish.
Escape by n Miracle.
The escape Of four Of the men from in
slant death seems almost a miracle when
1t is considered that the heavy mine cages
were blown from the shaft bottom to the
top of the minehouse, over 800 feet above.
by the force of the explosion. These
cages were wrecked, so an iron bucket
was improvised for rescuing party as
soon as possible after the accident.
The first persons brought up wee Tur-
bic, Grill and two colored men, Darts and
Booker. The first was badly burned and
was carried TO an ambulance. Grill and
Davis were apparently uninjured, and
walked off. saying they were all right.
Brooker was cut and burned and had to
be supported. Aftcrward it was found
his jaw was broken and one eye was torn
from its socket. All were given medical
attention by corps of physicians. Then

Five Hundred Masked Mem Take Him

500 masked men assembled few hun
dred yards from the courthouse and
marched to the county jail, and after
breaking the doors Of the prison entered
and secured the negro. He was carried
to the courtyard and swung up to limb
mt 2 o'clock. Several of the mob fired
shots through his body. The jailer at
tempted to defend the negro, but the
mob overawed him and he was forced to
surrender him. The prisoner made a
statement to the effect that another negro
committed the crime, but the mob paid
no attention to his words. The negro
offered prayer while knives were being
plunged inc his body. The men were
convinced of his guilt and acted accord
ingly. A placard was pinned on the
body announcing that It should not be
taken down until noon. The placard also
contained the names of several other
negroes residing In the city, who were
notified to take fair warning. Stone was
charged with assaulting Mrs. j. M. Il.

BANK OF SPAIN EMBARRASSED.

Floating the New Loan Has Placed
1t In an Awkward Position
The part played by the Bank of Spain
in floating the new loan destined to pro-
vide resources for the continuance of the
war in Cuba has placed that institution
in a very awkward position. For, in ad-
dition to the immense sums which 1t has
furnished to the government itself, 1t has
advanced one way and another nearly
SAC, 100000 to people who subscribed for
the loan. The bank may therefore be
said 20 have found the major portion OF
the money subscribed. Besides this, the
bank is a creditor to the government I'M
der various heads to the extent of more
than $250,000,0O0. Inasmuch as the
capital fully paid up of the bank, to-
gether with the reserve fund, only
amounts to $3O.OO0,OO0, it will readily be
seen that the strain to which this, the
leading financial institution in Spain, is
being subjected is tremendous, and can
not be continued much longer before dis
aster ensues.
