a BRUTAL ACT.
Three Men BrutaIly Beat and Kick a
Drunken Youth.

A row occurred last night in a saloon
on K street, near Sixth, in which there
was drunken man on one side and
several on the other who were not so
drunk. When the drunken man was
elected by the bartender three or four
others attacked him.
He ran to the middle of the street,
with three men beating him. There he
was knocked down and brutally kicked
in the face several times in the pres
ence of a crowd. A passenger on a
passing car jumped off, however, and
rescued the helpless man from those
who were abusing him.
The gang dispersed before an officer
got there, and no arrests were made,

PEELED at the point of a cooked re-

The conductor, fully realizing that
something was wrong, left the train
at the stock yards where the robbers
who had ordered the train stopped, ana
ran back to the station, telegraphlnR
the news to Division Superintendent

bell. In the meantime, however, the
robbers, who wore false boards ana
were unmaSked, cut the mail coach and
chair coaches and the Pullman sleeper
from the engine and express car ana
the fireman was again ordered TO pull
the latter further up the road.
They commenced dynmating the eX-
press car, and the third explosion
blew out one end of the car, Abel be-
ing forced to assist the robbers.
Once inside they picked out safe
which they surmised contained con-
siderable money and valuables, and
placed on it stick of dynamite and a.
few Jumps OF coal on the dynamite,
and then attached a fuse which they
lit and blew a hole in the safe.
They helped themselves to number
of packa ges containing gold and silver
coin which they placed in a sack and
then left the car, going in the direc--
ton of the Malpoi Rocks, where their
! horses were picl1eted.
The express car was on fire and Abel,
| thoroughly frightened, after see
ing the robbers at a safe distance,
backed the engine and express car into
the other portion of the train left
standing at the stock yards, and in
consequence the express car, day coach
and chair car were telescoped and all
three destroyed by fire.
Express route agents, who went out
to the scene Saturday night have re-
turned. They state that the robbers
did not get into the most valuable safe,
which, with two others, were badly
warped and damaged by fire. They
think, however, that the rob-
bers secured several hundred dol
lars, but the exact amount will
not be known for some time, as
all the papers and records of the car
and safe were burned in the fire. The
baggage was all removed before the
fire got under Roadway and saved.
The passengers were not molested.
The robbers are thought to be sew

liar with that section of the road.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The Daily Chron-

resolution of the New York chamber

congress of the United States to in

''No doubt if the whole British navy

earth it might put a few shells into

into Jersey City but it could not pass
through Long Island Sound, and it
could never get anywhere near He'll

Great Britain, however, has some
thing else to do than to clear the
world of her ships in order to inflict a
fine on New York. But when the Wall

anything comes handy"

upon ''such alarmist rumors" as Wall

of them believe that they should be
