A TRAIN ROBBERY.
An Express Train Held Up Near Austin,
Texas, Yesterday Afternoon.

AUSTIN. Texas, October I2-This
afternoon at $50 o'clock within twelve
miles of the corporate limits of Austin,
the southbound cannon ball train on
the International and Great Northern
railroad, consisting of mail, baggage
and express cars, and three coaches
loaded with passengers, was held up
by four men and robbed. The conduc-
tor of the train, Tom Healy, was shot
by the robbers while resisting them,
but not seriously wounded. One of
the passengers had his shirt collar car
ried away by the pistol ball that was
aimed at his neck, and another re.
ceived bullet wound in the hand.
The passengers were robbed Of about
$500 in money. The bandits attempted
to rifle the safe in the express car, but
were unsuccessful
When the train reached Mcneil, a
small station four miles above this city,
two men, heavily armed, boarded it,
and stood on the rear platform. After
the conductor had checked up the
train he reached the platform, only to
find pistol at either side of his head.
The men demanded that he stop the
train. He declined to do so, and beganto
go through the train with the two rob-
bers in close pursuit. He had not gone
half the length of the first car when
the foremost robber shot at him, bring
ing him to the floor with a pistol
wound in his right arm,
At this juncture the other pulled the
bell cord and the train was brought to
a standstill. 1t was evidently at tile
appointed place, for the train had
hardly stopped before two other men
whose faces were covered with masks,
stepped out from the trees and began
shooting into the cars. The two men
on the train we're joined by those from
the woods aud they began work. AS
the train porter sprang from the rear
coach and ra,t for shelter, robber be-
gan shooting at him, and the negro
emptied revolver in turn without
effect. The express messenger ran
through the woods and was lost to
sight.
The robbers in the meantime, ieav-
ing two men to guard the three coaches,
which were packed with passengers,
proceeded to the express car and de-
manded that the baggage master open
the express safe, but being assured that
he could not do so, turned their atten-
ton to the passengers. They took only
money from them, not overlooking a
cent. After securing about 5000, they
uncoupled the engine and started down
the track. After going several miles
they set the lever at moderate gait,
left the engine and ran into the woods,
The engine was captured at the flag
station at Duval. The station agent
returned to the scene of the robbery
with the engineer, secured the train
and came to this city, arriving here
shortly after dusk. Officers have gone
to the scene of faction with bloodhounds.
The two men who boarded the train at
Mcneil were not masked.

The Yellow Fever.

Mobile, Ala, October 1.-THE very
light report of to-day at noon has again
raised the spirits of the people. The
record showed but five new cases and
no deaths. Two of the new cases are
in houses where fever has visited before.
Total cases to date, 1875: deaths, 20;
recovered, 67; under treatment, 80.
Jackson, Miss, October 1.-THE
State Board of Health tonight issued
the following official report: "Reports
from Nttayuma announce the death of
Mr.. Smith, one Of the yellow fever
patients. Six cases under treatment;
three convalescent.o
DR.. Dabney sends the following re-
port from Clinton: "Miss Miller is the
only one under treatment. She is rest
ing we'll"
The following is Dunn's report from
Edwards: "For lack of material the
list of new cases is getting small, and
with but few exceptions the old cases
are doing well. There have been 1e-
ported five cases, one white and four
colored. One has black vomit. Only
two deaths reported"
New Orleans, October 11.-From
the returns there is little hope in the
yellow fever situation. The Board of
Health is daily demonstrating that
with a fair show it is possible for
modern science to restrict and stamp
out the disease. But the people who
must suffer from strict application of
scientific methods rebel, the result be-
ing that the pathway of the Board Of
Health is beset with difficulties. If
there was strict compliance with the
health laws, and if prompt report was
made to officers, the fever germs would
quickly be wiped out. But it begins to
look now as if from thirty to forty cases
and from four to six deaths will be
daily reported until Jack Frost puts in
an appearance. To-day, as on nearly
every day since the fever put in an APP
pearance here, about 50 per cent. of the
fatalities was traceable to neglect and a
disposition to hide cases until it was
too late to do anything to save life
There were four deaths from yellow
fever to-day.
The most important feature Of the
news as to the new cases was the fact
that four people were found to have
been stricken at the Jewish Home, a
well known local charitable institu-
ton. The officials of Touron Infrmary
agreed to receive the cases and they
were at once taken to that hospital,
which is largely supported by the
Hebrew population, though non-sec-
tartan.
Two cases were also reported to have
developed at the Hotel Dieu, another
private hospital. Both of these hospi-
tails have heretofore bad cases and the
physicians in charge have been success
full in treating them and in confining
the disease.
Another new case appeared in AL
giers, on the opposite side of the river.
A majority of the new cases to-day pre-
sented new foci of Infection
At the board of health office tonight
there is bitter criticism of Galveston,
Tex, and the Texas health authorities
fol- their failure to send line regarding
the situation in that city. When suspi-
cious cases were reported here, the
Louisiana board of health at once tele-
graphed the fact to all the leading
health boards of the country, and the
result was general qoarantine against
this city. Galveston was one of the
first cities to raise the bars.

Transvaal MUGS.
Berlin, May 10. - During the past
week a definite understanding was
perfected by which the cabinets Of
Germany, France and Russia will soon
reach the solution of the Egyptian and
Transvaal questions, and this will be
done Systematically in an anti-British
sense.
AS soon as the Greco-Turkish trouble
is settled, the subject will be Jointly
taken up. unless Great Britain in the
meanwhile precipitates matters. i'll
which case she will encounter the
united open hostility of the three con
tinental powers. The ultimate object
of the agreement is to force the cvacu-
alton of Egypt and the notification of
the Pretoria convention Of 1856 and to
put the T%ransvaal on q perfectly indie
pendent basis. Franco. in the settle
ment of the peace conditions With

contrary.

A very considerable revival in rail-
way building is now in sight. Since the
nrst OF the year the Railway Age has
been notified of a considerable number
OF new undertakings which promise to
begin work soon: while a still larger
number Of enterprises carried over
from previous years, and on some of
which work has already been done, ap-
pear now to have secured the means
for going on. Thousands of miles of
lines can be enumerated for which
room and need seem apparent on an
intelligent study of the situation, and
whose construction, therefore, is mere
ly a question of better times. For a
few of these contracts have already
been let, While the promoters of others
are sanguine that they will get under
way this year. Besides the legitimate
enterprises there are various paper
schemes, such as that of a new trans
continental line, which have little like
lihood of accomplishment; but alto
gether there is already Il better out
look for railway building than has
been observed for several previous
years.

England and Germany seem likely to
get into a dispute over the Transyaal.
The Globe OF London says it has good
authority for saying that. the secretary
of state for the colonies, Mr.. Cham
berlain, acting under great parliament
tarv pressure, has sent President Ilru-
ger a strongly worded protest against
alleged breaches of the London con
yention upon the part of the South At
rican Republic. 1t is presumed the in
fraction of the agreement consisted of
the reported understanding with Ger
MANY and the recent defensive alliance
entered into between the Transvaal and
the Orange Free State, Great Britain
claiming the right, under the terms of
the convention, to control the foreign
relations" of the South African Repub-
lie. The Birmingham Post, the organ Of
both the chamberlain and the secre-
tary of state for the colonies, says it
hears that Germany is sending 5000
troops to southwest Africa at the end of
April, and that a special German envoy
will be sent to interview President
Kruger of the T%ransvaal and President
Steyn of the Orange Free State. It is
elsewhere reported that owing to the
preparing for eventualities in the
Transvaal, the arrangements for the
Anglo-Egyptian expedition to Khar-
have been suspended. Officials in
London express strong belief that IL
Kruger persists in his claims
for indemnity as a result Of the jane

The benefits to agriculture derived
from Investigations upon animals are
to be largely measured by the success
es which have been attained in the
prevention, limitation OF the spread,
and the complete eradication of infec-
tlous animal diseases. Plaques in the
form OF these affections have from the
earliest times been a source of con-
slant dread, and all too frequently, the
cause OF extreme suffering among the
people, due to the loss of innumerable
animals which afforded them food,
clothing and a means of %transporta-
ton. Rinderpest, or the great cattle
plague, in England, in 1865, is esti-
mated to have caused a loss of between
$4o,O0o,00 and $50, 900, 900 worth of
cattle. From 1889 to 1870 the total loss
from the ravages in England of two
cattle diseases is placed at $500, 900, 900.
