KANSAS CITY. Mo, Oct. PA passeu-
ger and express train on the Chicago and
Alton railroad due here from Chicago and
st. Louis at o'clock was held up and rob
bed by four masked men this evening at
Blue Springs cut, between Independence
and Glendale, Mo. The scene Of the robbery
is less than twenty miles distant from
Kansas City. The train was tagged at
the cut While two Of the robbers stood
guard over the passenger coaches, the
other two covered the conductor, engineer
and fireman with their revolvcrs and COM
PEELED them to go to the express car. Then
the robbers commanded the messenger to
open the door of the car, threatening to
break in the doors should he refuse
After some delay the robbers were adj
mitted to the car. They compelled the
messenger to open the safe and extracted
from it several packages How much
booty was secured cannot be ascertained
at this hour, but the conductor of the
train states that the bandits secured moth
ing save several packages of iewelry. Hav-
ing secured the packages, the robbers left
the train and entered the woods Though
several shots were fired, no one was in
jured.
The train proceeded to Independence,
and information of the robbery was tele-
graphed from there. A deputy sheriff and
posse left Independence at once, and q
squad of policemen was detailed from
here, but it is thought the bandits are
now safely out of the way There have

daughters, Mrs. Fred Davenport and Miss
Bertha Crisp, and his two sons Mr..
Charles f. Crisp, Jr., and Mr.. Fred Crisp,
were at the Ballard House, on Peachtreo
street. They were quickly summoned.
When then entered the room Judge Crisp
was still conscious. He gave them look
of recognition, breathed n few times and
died. He could not speak.
Mr.. Crisp's death while apparently so
sudden, was not unexpected by the physi-
clans who have been watching his health.
He had been declining for several years.
His last illness, however, was immedi-
ately occasioned by an attack of malaria
fever which he contracted Mt his home in
Americus, Ga, few weeks ago, but which
itself yielded to treatment when he came
to Atlanta. He was considered GONZALES

Chained in a Burning Building.

WILLIAMsPORT, Pa, Oct 24-The small
frame house of Martin Morse, at Canton,
was discovered on fire. The doors were
fastened, and upon breaking them down
the neighbors found Mrs Leroy, aged 30
years alone and chained to the walls. The
chains were broken and the frantic wo-
man was carried from the building as the
roof fell in. Mrs. Leroy made her home
with her daughter and son-in-law, both
of whom were away from the house when
the fire occurred. Mr.. and Mrs. Morse,
whose reputation is good, say that the old
lady is childish, and to keep her out of
mischief they chained her when they went
away from home The fire began on the
top floor, and Mrs Leroy was chained
down stairs.

Now we (Texans) are buying cattle in
