ROCK ISLAND TRAIN ROBBED.
Express Car Blown Open and Passengers
Relieved of Their Naluables.

Express Car Blown Open and Passengers
Relieved of Their Valuables.
Wichita, Kan, oct. 4.-One Of the bold
est and most daring train robberies ever
committed in the Indian Territory was
made Saturday morning on the Rock
Island passenger train just this side of
Chickasha, J. T. The general supposi
ton is that it was Al Jennings and his
gang. There were five men in the party,
and they all wore masks. They rode
on horses from the east. and intimidated
a few section men and made them flag
the train The robbers hid in the brush
and had the workmen covered with their
rifles. When the train stopped one of
the robbers stepped into the cab and
covered the engineer and fireman, while
the other four made for the express car,
where they tried to blow open the
through safe with dynamite.
The safe resisted the dynamite, but
the express car was blown to atoms.
They next lined up all the passengers
on the outside Of the cars and went
through them, securing about $500 in
money and many watches and diamonds.
The mail bags were rified and all the
have been sent for, while deputies have
gone in pursuit, being careful not TO OBJ
lterate the trail. The few women pas
sengers were not compelled to give up
their valuables, and the Rev. Mr.. Roe.

was not compelled to leave the coach.

DOES NOT Improve.
The Yellow Fever Situation in the Cres.
cent City.

The Yellow Fever Situation i'm the Cres-
cent City.
New Orleans, oct. 4.-The fever stu
alton did not improve Saturday. No
new cases were reported in the morning
but there were reports of four deaths.
one was the man Hickey, patient at
the yellow fever hospital. Another
death was that of a child named Bauer,
at Philip and Chippewa streets. a great
crowd collected in the vicinity and extra
guards had to be sent to clear the
streets. There are five cases in the
neighborhood in one square. The board
of health continues to find great diff
Guilty in it's work of stamping out the
disease. Failure to report cases Of sick
ness is becoming eXasperatingly COM
mon. The result is that patients are
not receiving prompt medical attention
and are dying where they might be
pulled through If doctors were immed-
ately called in. The cases at the yellow
fever hospital are increasing; there
were seventeen there Friday night and
others are to be removed there. A num-
ber of people were released Friday and
Saturday from the detention camp.
The Rigolet's detention camp has been
closed. There was no reason TO main
tain il because very few people were
coming into New Orleans over the
Louisville and Nashville road. Orders
have been issued TO send all suspects
from infected points to Fontainbeu.
where there are ample accommodations
for several hundred people. Although
the number OF cases here is increasing
the board of health has resolutely re-
fused to modify the quarantine regula-
ticns. Every affected point is being
watched. The board will continue to
quarantine houses here wherein fever
exists The effect will be TO prevent
spread Of the disease and to give em-
ployment to several hundred men who
have been thrown out of work by the
stagnation of trade.

At the bloody battle OF Port Hudson,
May, 2S, 1863 he led his brigade in the
assault on the enemy's fortified position
and suffered a terrible repulse. His
brigade lost over 500 killed and wounded.
General Dow received two wounds and
was carried to a house near the battle
field. He was ultimately taken prisoner
by the enemy and confined several
months at Mobile and Libby prison. He
was exchanged for General Fitzhugh
Lee, nephew Of the general.
General Dow was in many respects a
remarkable man. He was man Of the
world and a gentleman in abilities and
training. His principles were strict, but
ne was more eXacting with himself than
with others He was forcible debater,
and his skillful advocacy of total absti-
nence and prohibition won him fame at
home and abroad He acquired a large
fortune in business. Three different
times he visited England and addressed
large crowds in the principal cities un-
der the auspices Of the United Kingdom
Temperance alliance. At home-and in
Canada as well as in the United states
he labored in public speeches and in
contributions TO the press to win favor
for prohibition legislation. The Maine
liquor law was ratified by popular
vote in 1854.
OF late years General Dow had been
conspicuous for his flowing locks OF
snow white hair. His small figure was
compact and finely nodded. His face
was one Of unusual intelligence. He was
the national Prohibition candidate for
president in 1880 and received over TO-
900 votes.
