THE BLUE CUT ROBBERY.
The Bandits Are Said to Have Got
$4,000.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 24-The Chicago & Alton
express, which was held up by masked ban
dts in the famous Blue Cut, near Independ-
ence, Mo-, "Wednesday night, arrived in St.
Louis this afternoon at los o'clock J. D.
Frier, messenger in charge of the looted ex-
press 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 Roodhouse. The story, as OBJ
tanned 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
lie feels terribly broken up over the robbery
The first thing he said when the train crew
asked how he Jared was that the company
had been hard hit.
When seen by representative of the Asso-
c1ated Press Frer said
i was busy. and especially so this trim
ana thought we had stopped on account of A.
breakdown or something of that sort l heard
no voices outside
When the knock came I supposed 1t was
brakeman and opened the door Then
was helpless. The robbers threw nv shot
gun out of the car and broke it all to pieces
They certainly knew their business and were
very polite, but it would not have been
safe to resist Them
The politeness of the robbers impressed all
who saw them. The trainmen said they were
well dressed. The leader was a little under
the influence Of drink. He was so jovial that
when he took 81 from Conductor Nichols
he gave 81 of it back to him. The other So
he presented to Frier as a Christmas gift
Frier has been a messenger for the Pacific
Express company for twelve years. and has
been connected with express companies for
good view Of the robbers, and will be able to
identify them if they are caught.
CHICAGO, Dec. pat the offices of the
Chicago & Alton railway here it is stated that
the amounts secured by the Blue Cut train
robbers foot up between $500 in cash and
may reach s., 900.

of taxes and assessments instead Of
three, as ait present, and a system for
the equalization of the varying condi-
tions in the consolidated territory has
been devised.
In the matter of education the COM
mittee adopted a plan which central
ICES IN board of education, represent
ing the whole city, the physical conduct
OF the schools and which devolves
upon school boards appointed by the
mayor in every borough the educa-
tlonal conduct of the schools.
The committee concluded not to deal
with municipal ownership. but saws:
From an original and ideal stand
point, 1t is easy to see that the city
would become the recipient of vast
revenues by the ownership ond opera
ton Of all franchises for lighting bv
gas or electricity and for tralnWays
and other purposes necessary to the
life and business of a METROPOLITAN
community, and exercised so largely
by use Of the streets and avenues
belonging to the people. Nor could any
one well deny the right and power
or the people to embark in such enter
prlses. In greater New York. however
private capital has, upon the faith Of
the state, embarked largely in such
franchises. It would take a. sum too
vast to be hastily computed to acquire
the properties thus vested in private
persons, by fair compensation"

while lying wounded in a Cuban hos

Criticises CIeveIand's Attitude Re-
garding Cuba

Congressman Charles A. Towne of Duluth,
was in this city a few hours yesterday, en-
route home for the Christmas season. ASIDE
from picking up few gifts for his children,
his sole business was to meet and confer with
the faithful of Minneapolis upon the issue
and plans of the campaign of education.
The practical feature of the work in the
Northwest, in the opinion of many of the
silveFite leaders, is the maintenance of their
free silver organ, the Penny Press and a
meeting was held at the Office of that paper
to draw up and sign articles of a new corpo-
ration which is to put the institution upon
its feet. About twenty-five of the leading
silver men have signed the articles of incor-
poraiton and subscribed to the stock of the
new corporation, which is to take the place
of many predecessors. Among these Con-
gresham Towne is willing to be a private in
the ranks, but he will not be a general. He
will not abandon his profession for the edi-
tors tripod.
On national topics Mr.. Towne said:
1.-THE attitude of the president and Secre-
tary Olney on the Cuban question, rather
their attitude upon the power Of the execu-
tive to nullify and defeat the will of a two
thirds majority of congress in acknowledging
the belligerency of, the Cubans, is the most
sensational event in the constitutional evolu-
tion which has characterized Cleveland's ad-
ministration 1t is more far-reaching in Its
aggression than his attitude upon the use
of troops at his own sweet will, manifested
in the Chicago strike, and there is no presi-
dent since Washington who has done more
to build up the monarchial idea Of the pres
idential office than this nominal follower of
Thomas Jefferson
Upon the conventional topics of discussion
Mr.. Towne said little or nothing. He believes
Dingley will be made secretary of the treas
ury. The reason for this appointment is that
Reed must be brought into line and support
the Mckinley administration.
Mr.. Towne will spend few days in Duluth
and will then finish up his holiday vacation
by visit to his old home in Michigan.

Keep to the Left.

There is one beauty of living in very old
country. Every little custom can be traced
back to something picturesque. Have you
ever driven along the English roads, every
one keeping to the left? And do you know
how it originated? An antiquarian told me
the reason why. In o1den times, when folk
walked about badly lighted towns in fear
and trembling, with rapiers at their sides,
every country had the same rule, l. e., to
keep to the left, so that an unexpected rapier
thrust might at least, escape being mortal.
AS times became quieter, and civilization de-
veloped, the necessity ceased, and the law of
the road was reversed; but for some I'M
known reason England maintained the old
custom. Another reason. of course. suggests
itself, as far as driving is concerned. The
driver, with the reins in his left hand and
sitting on the right side Of the vehicle, can
see mich better when he is passing anything
in the road. But still every other nation
keeps to the right, or is supposed to.-New
York Advertiser.

Shreyyd Old Money-Maker Found He

Here is millionaire story, which I am
assured is absolutely correct says writer
in Pick Me Up: A well known Jew financier
was walking down Regent street the other
day when he was accosted by beggar, who
is a more or less familiar feature to that
thoroughfore. Instead of turning a deaf ear
to the mans supplications and getting off
as quick as he could as some people might
have done. the millionaire at once stopped
and proceeded to ply the man with questions
as to why he didn't try to get work instead
Of begging. whether he had a wife and chill
dren to support, and so on.
The beggar, who was aware Of the identify
of the man talking to him, and thought he
might be in for really good thing, poured
out the usual story of his woes into. the mil
lionaire's ears-whether true or no is not.
for the moment, of consequence.
The millionaire continued to listen atten-
tisely, and the beggar's hopes of bringing off
a scoop rose higher and higher. Then the
millionaire put his f1nal question. "How long
have you been begging?' he said, suavely.
"Over twenty years, kind gentleman" was
the reply.
"Ah,'' laid the millionaire, refectively,
cts not bad trader Then he walked on,
and a -conformist journalist, who hap
pened to come by just then, went home and
wrote an imprisoned article on 1.-The Increase
of Bad Language in the West End Streets"

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-The draft Of
the proposed Greater New York char
ter, as submitted to the commission,
will be published tomorrow. The legis-
letive power is to be vested in a munic-
ipal assembly, to consist Of two houses
"a lower house of 104 members elect
ed from senatorial districts, and an up
per house Of 81 members elected from
council districts.
All of the members Of both houses
are to be elected for the term Of two
years, and all are to retire at once.
AS to everything concerning the
rights, privileges and liberties of the
citizen respecting municipal rule, the
legislative department is to be subject
to no restraint. But in respect to public
improvements, the action of the munic-
ipal assembly is to be further subjected
to the concurrence Of the board of esti-
mate and apportionmenr.
The mayor is to have power to ap-

scribed term Of Office, during the first
six months of his administra ton. After
that he can remove only on charges,
with the approval of the governor.
Where the powers Of the admins
trative departments are largely diScre-
tionary, it is proposed to have the de-
partments presided over by board Of
two or more commissioners. Where
they are executive merely, only one
commissioner has been provided for.
By far the largest and most important
beard is to be the board of public i'm
provements, consisting of the heads of
six newly created departments-the de-
partment of water supply, of highways,
of sewers, of street cleaning, of public
buildings, lighting and supplies, and
the department. Of bridges. This is the
st. Louis system.
The police department will have four
commissioners, as now, and will include
