Pacific train due here at 1:35 o'clock
this morning, was held up a short
distance east of Unitah near the

the train, that they intended to blow
up the express car with dynamite.
A train was made up at Ogden and
dispatched to the scene of the robbery
and orders given to organize a posse

A TRADE DISPATCH.

New York, Oct. 14.-Brokers who
watched trading in tobacco yester-
day, said the principal feature was
the absence of stock during the three
point rise. In the forenoon offerings
were light. Rumors OF trade settle
ments were current all day, but are
believed to have been without foun-
dalton.
Some of the interests which sold
st. Paul freely in the upper values
bought yesterday, in a moderate way,
intended to buy on a decline, had the
market been weak. The old engage
ments, and the knowledge of large ar
rivals next week foreshadowed ca
sier money next week. Interests
which have been right, yesterday said
it was traders market, and might
go little higher. but they did not
think the market would last long.
