Train Arrives in st. Louis.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 2i.-The Chicago &
Alton express, which was held up by
masked bandits in the famous Blue cut
near Independence Mo-, Wednesday night,
arrived in st. Louis this afternoon at LOS
o'clock. .-rr'
]. D. Frier, the messenger in charge of
the looted express car, two trainmen and
the Pullman car porter and conductor.
were the only ones of the crew aboard, the
others having changed at Slater and Rood
house. l
The story as obtained from these men,
stamps the robbery as one of the cleverest
and boldest pieces of work done by road
agents during the year. Messenger Frier
is in bad state of mind. He feels terribly
broken up over the robbery. The first
thing he said when the train crew asked
how he had Jared was that the company
had been hard hit He now says he cannot
tell how much was taken.
When seen by representative of the
Associated Press Frier said: II was busy,
especially so this trip, and thought we had
stopped on account of breakdown or
something of that sort. I heard no voices
outside.
when the knock came supposed it was
a brakeman and opened the door. Then
was helpless. The robbers threw my shot
gun out of the car and broke 1t all to
pieces. They certainly knew their busi-
ness, and were very polite, but it would
not have been safe to have resisted Them
The politeness of the robbers impressed
all who saw them. The trainmen said they
were we'll dressed. The leader was little
under the influence of drink. He was so
jovial that he took 81 from Conductor
Nichols and gave 81 of it back. The other
S2 he presented to Frier as Christmas
gift. Frier has been a messenger for the
Pacific Express Company for twelve years
and has been connected with express COM
panies for twenty years. The messenger
had a good view of the robbers and will
be able to identify them if caught.

THE CASE OF RILEY GRAMMAR.
Decision Was Reserved, but 1t VIII
Probably Re In Favor of the
Pinnrer

New York. Dec. A-Riley Grannan's con-
troversy with the New York Jockey Club
was before the supreme court in Brooklyn
to-day on a motion for a permanent in
junction to restrain the club and the West
chester Racing Association from expelling
the plunger from the race track. The Of
fense of Grammar consisted of making n
present to a. jockey. contrary to the rules
of the jockey club.
While Justice Osborn reserved his de-
csion, he made a significant observation,
in connection with the assertion by Cen
eral Benjamin F. Tracy, counsel for Gran
nan, that the fact that his client was a
plunger had had much TO do with his ex-
pulsion. Justice Osborn observed, "A
plunger had as much right an race track
as anybody else" 1t was the contention
of counsel for the defense that the jockey
club had the right to make any reasonable
regulation to preserve order end maintain
the integrity of racing, the rule against
tipping being for the latter purpose.

ST. LOUIS TERMINAL FACILITIES.
Burlington Has Expended Over Three

Burlington Has Expended Over Three
Million Dollars in North ST. Louis.
st. Louis, Dec. 24-(special) The Bur-
lington is making preparations for addi-
tional terminal facilities in North st. Lou
is. that may or may not contain the solu-
tion of the question of the absorption of
the bridge arbitrary, the location of the
third bridge, and some other vexatious
propositions.
The amount of land purchased the past
year by the Burlington is not generally
known. but 1t is a fact that the road now
owns over 500 acres of land on the river
front, beginning at point little north of
the foot of Grand avenue, and extending
over a tract almost half mile wide and
over two miles long at its greatest length,
and all within the city limits.
The trackage facilities already estab-
lished and in operation are such that over
5000 cars can be readily handled in the
yards at the same time. The amount of
traffic done since the facilities were first
projected has not been of sufficient proper
tions, even according to the roads own fig
ures, to demand an increase over the enor-
nous expenditures already made. Over
100000 has been expended.

The Official Statement,

Chicago, Dec. 24.-At the offices of the
Chicago G. Alton railway the following
official statement in regard to the robbery
was given out:
Train was tagged by red and white Ian
terms just west of the Missouri Pacific
took charge of the engine and made the
engineer and fireman get off. The con-
ductor and brakeman came ahead and the
robbers took charge of them.
They made the brakeman go back and
get the train wrench and cut off the ex-
press car. They made considerable noise
and did much loud talking and pounding on
couplings while doing the work In order to
give the expressman a chance to hide away
his stuff. When the train was cut off the
robbers made the trainmen get off while
they took the engine and express car away.
They next stopped In the cut about half
way between the top Of the hill and Glen
coe and raped on the express car door.
The expressman opened il and realized for
the first time that he was being held up
All of his valuables were exposed. He
claims not to have had time to put them in
the safe before leaving Kansas City. 1t
was therefore not necessary for the rob-
bers to open the safe, although they were
amply provided with dynamite for that
purpose. The amount secured foots up
about s.. 500 in cash and may reach s., 0cO
After robbing the car they cut the bell
cord pulled the tank pin and cut off the
air and ordered the expressman to set the
hand brake on the express car. They all
got on the engine and ran to the second
bridge east of Glendale, where it was left
without water steam fire or air. The
train crew was as follows: Engineer Wet
ton: Fireman Post, Conductor Nichols,
Brakeman Jones and EXpressman F'rier
The following description of the robbers
is given by the trainmen:
Four men, all masked: three dark and
one light mask; one man small and slen-
der somewhat feminine voice and had been
drinking; two men medium: one man six
feet tall, weight 200 pounds. Trainmen
were mixed in describing clothes worn.

TAKEN UNDER ADJUSTMENT.
Novel Point Raised by the Attorney
for w. H. Christie. Arrested for
Not Paying n Pool License,

W. II. Christie was arraigned in police
court yesterday on the charge of cond1ct-
ing pool room ut 12Os Walnut street with
out a license. After the evidence was sub
mitted. Attorney T. ]. seehoru. for Chris
tie, asked that the case be dismissed on
the ground that Christie mad accepted bets
on the election. which fact disfranchised
voters who laid the wagers, and was vio-
lation of the law within itself. He held.
therefore, that the city could not license
an enterprise which was a violation of the
state laws. The city attorney maintained
that a bet was bet, whether laid on an
election or horse race. and man who
operated n concern for the accommodation
of bettors should pay II license for the
privilege.
Judge Clifford withheld his decision until
Monday.

GOVERNMENT TO FoREcLosE.
Department of Justice to Bring Action
Against the Pacific Roads.

Washington, Dec. 24.-It is automatically
reported that the department of justice
contemplates action to be taken at an early
date looking TO the foreclosure by the
government of the Union Pacific with the
probability also of similar proceedings
against the Central Pacific and Kansas Pa
cihc. Such a step is considered imperative
TO protect the governments interest in
these holdings and has only been deferred
in view Of the pending action by congress.
Avery large portion of the first mortgage
bonds as well as the second mortgage will
mature with the beginning of 1897. The
holders of the first mortgage bonds would
naturally have priority over the govern
ment liens, but II is said that the attorney
general has construed the original and
amended Pacific railroads acts as confer
ring ample power upon the government TO
proceed irrespective of any course which
the first mortgage holders may see nit to
take.
