two miles south of Roseburg, by two or

tached from the train by the robbers
and the door blown open with dyna-
mite. Two small safes in the car were
then blown open and looted. The ex-
press car then took fire. The conductor
and trainmen worked hard to save the
car after the robbers had gone, but the
car and contents were destroyed. The

the side of the track waving flag.
Covered with Revolver.
He slowed up for the signal and as
he brought the train to a stop, man
armed with two revolvers came over

with heavy charges of dynamite, blew
the door open. Entering the car they
attacked two small safes which they

seouently they could not have secured
much money. The mail car was als'
visited by the robbers and registered
letters taken. The explosion set fre u
the express car, and when the robper

TRIUMPH OF LOGAN.
He Forces the Illinois State Board
of Agriculture to His
Feat.

CHICAGO. Nov. 4-Twentya thousand
lovers of fine horsefesh waited half an
hour this evening for Manager John A.
Logan to give the signal for opening the
horse show, while that gentleman sat
calmly in his office waiting for written
apology from the State Board of Agricult-
ture, for what he terms is studied and
persistent insults" of himself and his as
sociates in the management of the big
affair.
The apology finally came, the -ignal
was given and Logan scored two tri-
umphs. He broke all records as to Ameri-
dication of his me hods of management.
Lo an has been badgered from the in
cepton of the show by bucolic mem bers
of the State Board, who objected to his
lavish expenditure of money, but he has
borne it all with remarkable equanimity
and probably would have continued to do
so had not some invited guests 5een
barred from the show this afternoon by
the EN- ployes of the State Board.
He called a meeting of his friends among
the exhibitors in the rooms OF the Bit and
Spur Club, at which resolutions demand
ing an apology were drawn. The resolu-
ton was accom- panied by a manifesto
signed by all the exhibitors that until the
apology was forthcoming, the Chicago
horse show was at an end.
The board wrestled with the problem
from o'clock until $3.50. when, seeing
that Logan was making good his threat, it
finally yielded and complied with the de-
mands. Few OF the vast thrOng knew
what caused the delay or how near they
came to seeing thing but themselves.

GORMAN MEETS
DISASTER DOWN
in MARYLAND
The Official Returns Make It Certain the
Boss Will Not Go Back to the
United States Senate
Next Term.

BALTIMORE, Nov. Am official count
of the ballots cast on Tuesday last made
in most of the counties to-day leaves no
further room for doubt that the Repub-
licans have control of both branches of
the Legislature and that Re publican will
succeed Arthur P. German in the United
States Senate. Five membe of the As
sem biv and one Senator were taken from
the Dsmoe..-nc list of probabilities and
added to that of the Republicans. Three
of the members and the Senator are from
Talbot County. and one member each
from Prince Georges and Carroll. This
gives the Repu blicans 49 mem bers in the
House and the Democrats AZ Italso gives
the Republicans Is Senators to 8 for the
Democrats, and majority on JOINT ballot
of II.
The doubt in Talbot County arose from
the fact that eighteen votes in Tilghman
Precinct were found to have been counted
twice for the Democratic ticket. This be-
ing corrected gave the Republican legis-
lative candidates majorities ranging from
16 TO 19 votes. In Prince Georges oimi-
lar correction elected Republican by four
votes, while in Carroll the recount showed
that Standbury r. defeated Grouse d. by
% votes. The doubtful votes in Mont
gomery and Washington counties also
went into the Republican column by small
ma joritles.
The Democratic headquarters were
