TRAIN ROBBERS.
Attempt to Wreck Train the Iron
Mountain Road.

Attempt to Wreck n Train on the Iron
Mountain Road.
ST. LOUIS, April 10-A futile attempt
was made by FIVE masked men to wreck
a train ON the Iron Mountain road at
Gad's Hill, a switch 12O miles south of
this city, between IL and yesterday
morning. The robbers intended to
wreck the Texas special which leaves
here at Sis p. m. by turning switch
at the point named, buy luckily an ex-
ira, consisting of an engine and ca
boose, arrived at Gad's Hill before the
special ran into the switch and spoiled
the game of the outlaws AS the ex-
ira entered the switch five heavily
armed men came from their hiding
place alongside the track and with a
volley of oaths mounted horses near by
and rode rapidly away. News was
wired to Piedmont and Mayor Phillips
was aroused and soon organized a
posse to pursue the robbers. Railroad
men at other points were also tele-
graphed to and all efforts possible
have been taken to capture the band
its, who are believed to be the same
that held up the Frisco train near
Lebanon recently.

Annie Lamborn Retracts the Confesslon in
Which She Charged Davenport with Her
Fathers Murder.
LEAVENwoRTH. Kan, April 10-The
murder of j. IT. Lamborn, of Fall Leaf,
is still q mystery, Notwithstanding
that Annie l. Lamborn, the daughter,
has signed note accusing Thomas Da.
venport, her sweetheart, with the
crime. Recent developments are of =
most sensational character and are en-
titled to the same credence as the notes
furnished the press by Detective Shat
fer, who is working for a big reward.
Not only has no confession, such as is
claimed to be In existence, ever been
made, but the developments are of 3
nature to indicate that this country
boy and girl, Charlie and Annie Lam
born, are the victims of plot as dark
and vile as any that can be found in
the novels of Dumas. That there was
a motive for the murder of old man
Lamborn by young Davenport does not
admit of doubt, but that he really
did the deed is still a question. Miss
Lamborn DOW says her so-called con-
fession was wrUng from her by threats
and intimidation, and she denies that
Davenport had anything to do with
the horrible murder.

New YORK, April 1.-The total min
eral and metal production of the

1865, 612 fine ounces, having a total
value of SAG, $50, 200. The increase over
1894 was 81, O68 $685. and last year once
more put the United States in the

about 1, 900, 900 tons more than Great
Britain, its nearest competitor, and
about 5000, 900 tons more than Ger

HE MADE A DISCOVERY.

How Murat HaIstead Was Embarrassed
at Meeting a Certain Woman.
The best retort that Murat Halstead
ever received is the one which is de-
scribed as follows:
The old law firm of Goldsmith, Col
ston, Hoadley & Johnson was one o.
Mr.. Halstead's pet subjects for sar-
casm, politically and otherwise. He
caught up phrase which was attrib-
uted to the junior partner of the firm,
Mr.. Johnson, and after calling him
shining ornament of the Cincinnati
bar for some time the brilliant Mr..
Halstead went further and publicly
dubbed Mr.. Johnson the brass orna'
ment of the Cincinnati bar This
phrase was so attractive to Mr.. Hal
stead that he never hesitated to use il
every possible way. Halstead's day Of
reckoning came, however.
At an evening gathering Mr.. Hal
stead, who was very susceptible to the
charms of the fair sex, saw handsome
woman in the crowd superbly dressed,
and with diamonds on her bosom and
in her hair that would at once attract
attention. He begged to be presented,
and was-to Mrs. Johnson. It did not
present itself to Mr.. Halstead's mind, a
little less steady at the time than usual,
who the lady might be. He was curious
al6ut her.
johnson, Johnson?" he repeated,
ST have never had the pleasure of meet
ing you before, Mrs. Johnson. Do
you live in Ohio?"
''Oh, yes" replied the lady, brim-
ming over with smiles; II live in Gin
cinnati."
"Indeed!" said Mr.. Halstead, quite
astonished. May 1 inquire of what
family of Johnsons you are?"
The smiles were more merry this
time.
Mr.. Halstead," she replied, "for Is
years I have been trying to polish up

section who banded together to prose-
cute the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railroad Co., Hosier Bros, and Brogan

their grazing country and spreading
disease among their stock, won their
case in the supreme court The case
was tried in the district court of Lyon
county, where the cattlemen obtained
verdict for $50, 900 damages, includ-
ing interest. The defendants appealed
to the supreme court on the grounds
that the state law under which the
case was brought was in conflict with
the federal statute, and that the pro-
ceedings were irregular. The supreme
court sustained the decision of the
lower court.

Joke on Her.

The other day in street car man
was crowded along in his seat by the
very fashionably-dr young worn
an, who pushed herself in next to him.
Her very full dress skirt further incon-
venienced him, for she was SO anxious
to preserve it from wrinkling while sit
ting that she swung it's folds carelessly
over the lap of this man next to her.
This person had his own ideas about
proper retaliation. He deliberately adj
justed his large, clumsily-shod feet so
that they appeared to emerge from be-
meath the skirt. 1t was not long be-
fore they were noticed by some one OPP
posite. The effect of the great, awk-
ward feet, as if belonging to the pretty
young woman, was indescribably ludi-
crous. The looker-on laughed and
pointed out the joke to his neighbor.
The looks and laughs spread, until all
the rest of the car were craning their
necks to see the fun. At last the girl
herself became conscious of the jest at
her expense. With look like thunder
she motioned to the conductor and
hastily left them all. - Philadelphia

HOLMES MANY VICTIMS.

The Noted Criminal Says He Planned and
Committed 27 Murders.
PHILADELPHIA, April II. - Fl. 81.
Holmes, the multi-murderer now un-
der sentence of death for the murder
of Benz amin Peitzel, has made a con-
fession. In prefacing the confession,
which covers in full nearly three news
paper pages, written in Holmes own
handwriting and detailing with a
minuteness that is at times revolving,
the arch-mutilator and author of 81
murders, as he admits himself to be,
states with something like pathos that
he does so simply that he may obtain
money enough to educate his boy.
Holmes writes of his blood
curdling atrocities with an aban-
don that simply appalls one. Not
one grain of rem orse seems to
enter into the construction of that
document and never for a moment. ex-
cept in two isolated cases-one where
he refers touchingly to the memory of
Minnie Williams and another time
when he pathetically speaks of an out
rage perpetrated on his bov-does the
redeeming element, pity, figure in the
case. Regret is never for a moment
expressed, and he comes out boldly
and without conjunction on his very
opening with the statement: Il was
born with the very devil in me-"

A British Vessel Lost In POrt-Six Lives
Lost
SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. - No
stranger disaster ever happened to a
vessel than the accident which befell
the British ship Blairmore yesterday
morning. While riding at anchor in
Mission bay the vessel was struck by a
violent squat, which, together with
the swift flood tide, threw the craft on
her starboard side, capsizing her COM
pletely and sinking her in less than
five minutes. Fifteen seamen strug-
gled in the water. Six were confined
in the vessels hold and were proba bly,
pinned down by the falling dunnage
used to hold the ships ballast in place.
The imprisoned sextette never reached
the deck, as did their comrades en-
gagged with them in handling the bal
last below, and the bodies of the six
are imprisoned in the steel hull. The
Blairmore's masts lay level with the
bay bottom in seven fathoms of water,
and not sign of the sailors sunken
tomb is visible above the waves.

The Volume of Business Has Not Increased

Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade, says:
The volume of business has not on the whole
increased, nor have prices appreciably 3d-
vanced since April /, when the range for all
commodities was the lowest ever known in this
country. Breadstuns and iron products have
risen slightly, but some other articles have de-
c1ined and the root of the matter is that de-
mand for consumption is still below ex-
pectations- The number of hands en-
ployed has been slightly lessened
by strikes in some establishments
and by stoppage or reduction in force in 9TH
ers, but the change during the last week has
not been relatively important. The weather

DESTROYED BY AN EXPLOSION.
Vicious Chinese Soldiers Mutiny and Meet

Vicious Chinese Soldiers Mutiny and Meet
Awful Death.
VANCOUVER, B. c., April 10.-The
steamer Empress of Japan, which has
just arrived from the Orient, reports
that at KianR Gin two regiments OF
Chinese soldiers revolted and, at sig
nal from their leader, seized the guns
of the forts and proceeded to kill
all of the officers and new regi-
ment of soldiers recently arrived.
In the midst of the massacre mega
zine exploded and all were blown to
pieces. Two battalions must have been
wiped out of existence, as not soldier
lived to tell whether the magazine went
off by accident or designedly. All
within 100 yards of the magazine were
killed by flying shells. Besides an i'm
mense quantity of shells, 10000 pounds
of powder were stored in the powder
room. One company fighting near the
building literally disappeared from the
face of the earth, not trace of any Of
them being found.
