STONES WERE PUT ON TRACK.

West Rcglston, Mass, oct. Frank
L. Morrill,. aged Is years, and residing In
Holden. was arrested yesterday after
noon by John \. Maloney, the detective
for the Boston and Maine railroad. and
Deputy Sheriff Frank II. Baldwin on the
charge Of placing distractions on the
track and attempting to wreck a train.
The spot where the attempts We're
made is at the section of the road desig-
mated "Breackneck" by the railroad men.
1t is not far from this station in the di-
rection Of Clinton and at "a dangerous
curve. Early last October an engineer
on a passenger train from here noticed
a quantity Of stones on the opposite
track from that on which his train was
running. The stones were removed,
but the next day more stones were put
on. The vicinity was patrolled for a few
days, but all attempts TO find the perpe-
TRAITOR Of the deed seemed futile. Detec-
tive Maloney started to work on the case.
The Investigations have been going on
so quietly that Morrill, had no reason TO
know that he was suspected until placed
under arrest.

PASSENGER TRAIN HELD UF
THE TREASURE BOX WAS RIFLED

FL Reno. I. T, Oct 2.-Bandits robbed
the southbound Rock Island passenger
train and nearly all Of its passengers at
II o'clock yesterday forenoon about five
miles south Of Minco, I'm the Indian terri
tory. The railroad and express officials
had feared a holdup I'm that section for
several weeks. and armed guards had
been put aboard all night trains at El
Reno and carried through to Chickasha.
1t had not been thought that the out
laws were bold enough to attack train
In midday.
Yesterday morning the trainmen were
completely surprised, and so were not
prepared to offer resistance when five
masked men came upon them at a lonely
siding. The place is uninhabited. and
the only persons in the vicinity at the
time were four section hands. These
men tagged the train the robbers hav-
Ing compelled them % do so. The ban
Glts were hidden at the time in a brush
pile and jumped out as soon as the train
had taken the siding.
Under the pressure of winchesters and
ugly looking six-s shooters the trainmen,
more Of passengers were made TO climb
down from the train and stand in a line,
hands up. on the prairie along the rail
road. While three Of the robbers covered
the badly frightened crowd with their
guns the other two cooly and carefully
robbed them The bandits secured
about 5000 in cash and much other valu-
ables In the way of watches and tewelry
as were in sight. The few women were
not compelled u give up their valuables.
and Mrs, Roe, who was sick, was not
lcompelled to leave the coach. Jim
Wright of Minco showed a disposition TO
resist when the bandits ordered hands
up" They shot one of his ears off TO
prove TO his satisfaction that his bravery
was ill-advised. Wright's hands went
up at once.
After the passengers and trainmen
had been thoroughly plucked three of
the bandits turned their attention to
the express and mail coaches. the others
standing guard over the helpless crowd
OH the prairie. The registered mail
pouches were quickly rined, but the
through safe in the express car resisted
all the force and ingenuity of the road
agents. When the messenger had con-
vinced the bandits that ne could not open
the strong box they resorted TO dyna-
mite. Several heavy charges were ex-
ploded, but the safe proved burglar
proof, though It was badly shattered.
Having taken possession of everything
that they could carry away the bandits
mounted their horses and rode off 10 the
west
As soon as the trainmen could collect
their wits they got their scared passen-
gers aboard and hurried on TO the next
station house. Chickasha, from which
point the railroad officials were notified
OF the holdup. At Chickasha a posse OF
citizens was hurriedly formed. The
posse set out in pursuit Of the gang. and
officers have been dispatched from T.,
Reno and ether points i'm this section. 1t
is hardly possible that the bandits can
be overtaken in the prairie country. and
they Will probably be able 10 reach the
Wichita mountains.

Carlsbad Water
a Natural Alternative

Carlsbad Water is in no sense
a mere purgative, as most people
believe, but is an Alternative and
eliminative remedy, which dis
solves tenacious bile, allays irrita-
ton and removes obstruction by
aiding nature, and not by sudden
and excessive stimulation, as most
cathartic remedies do. Its action
is certain and cure when effected
is permanent. Not infrequently
patients have to use the Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt, in addition to the
water, as laxative.
Beware of limitations. The gen.
uine Carlsbad Water and Carlsbad
Sprudel Salt must have the seal
of the City of Carlsbad and the
signature of "Eisner & Mendelson
Co., sole agents, New York" on
every label.

EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY.
Dun ~ Co. Tell What They Arc In
Their Report

New York, oct. 2-k. G.. Dun d Co.'S
weekly review of trade has this to say
this week: The failures during the
third quarter of 1897. obtained Friday
by telegraph. were 1908, with liabilities
of s2Ss63,26l. Of which 20 were in bank
Ing for S33S7,069. Commercial failures
1874, with liabilities of s25. 567, 1872. an aver
age of only SSS99 each. lower than in
any other quarter for 23 years The
amount Of defaulted liabilities is the
smallest in any quarter for five years.
and in 10 years only six quarters have
shown smaller liabilities. Manufacture
Ing failures COL, with liabilities OF So
4Sl,lSl, average but $l4,4S7 each. and
trading 2l6i, with liabilities OF 1885,
065, an average of but $5927 each. both
smaller in average of liabilities than in
any previous year Of which classified
records exist The volume OF legiu-
mate business continues little larger
than i'm the same month OF 1892.
The evidences of reviving prosperity
ore the more important because prices
for most manufactured products have
advanced but moderately. and are all
declining with curious unanimty. as If
the large crops which make grain and
cotton weak would not assure increased
business to railways, and warrant better
prices for stocks.
Dismal reports about cotton have been
frequent. but the market shows more
faith in predictions OF a large yield, and
the price has declined quarter OF
cent for the week. All industries are
pushed TO increase working force, with
occasional rise in rate of wages, by the
growing demand. The advance iEScot-
ton goods has been checked by the de-
cline I'm material. but in woolen goods
the advance in prices has been small
compared with the rise in wool. which
is helped by stronger prices at London
sales. The dealings. mainly speculative,
have amounted 10 G6. sol 100 pounds in
four weeks, 4S.572 200 being domestic,
but recent sales of very large lots sus-
gest that profit taking may have begun.
Failures for the week have been l44 in
the United States, against 29s last year.
and "a in Canada, against 46 last year.

Klondyke Isn't In It.

A LEDGER reporter was SHOWN
through the wool warehouse OF EN-
mons & Kabrich to-day by Mr.. Harvey
Emmons. The Mexico warehouse is
in the basement Of the building at
Washington and Jackson streets and
contains IT'S 1000 pounds Of wool which
is packed In bulk, only leaving room
for an occasional alley way. Mr.. EN-
mons informed the reporter that the
firm had s ,OoO pounds stored in Bos-
ton, Mass, and 10000 stored in Phil
adelphia, Penn, warehouses, making
1916, 900 pounds of wool held by them.
In addition to this they have $4,000
pounds bought, which brings the total
up to 1916, 900 pounds; worth, at IL
cents, ss8,3O0. The crude form in
which wool is shipped in this country
and the refined (cleansed of grease,
burs and trash) form in which it is
imported raises the price of wool in
this country but about half OF the
import duty. With the additional
tariff of 12 cents on wool this wool il
worth $50, 700, a profit Of s2s,4 400 when
wool feels the full effect Of the new
tariff.
