assistant general manager of the Santa

train robbers who held up Santa Fe

men commenced firing as soon as the
train stopped, for the purpose Of keep
ing the passengers and trainmen in the

car. They commanded the expressman
to open the safe, but as it was a through
safe from Kansas City to Galveston he
was unable to carry out their orders and
convinced them of the fact. They then
attempted to blow the safe open with a
stick Of dynamite, but failed to even
damage it. After that they withdrew
to one side and held a consultation, the
result of which was an order to the en-
gineer to hit the road"

with Winchesters went into the Pine
vile bank. forced the cashier to hold
up his hands and secured about $500,
mostly silver. About 6 p. m. a posse
headed by ]. E. Prickett encountered
the robbers about one mile east of Noel
Hills. The robbers were mounted and
were fired upon from ambush by the
posse. Several shots were exchanged.
One robber separated from the others
and rode directly toward Noel until
within one-fourth of a mile, and was
then seen to enter the woods going west.
He was followed, but eluded pursuit
by exchange of horses.
About half a mile from the scene of
battle one horse was found dead, still
saddled and bridled. A short distance
further another horse was found run
ming loose, having been abandoned by
a robber. Both horses and saddles were
heavily sprinkled with blood. The rob-
bers were then trailed a short distance
in the woods by the blood, and are
suspected to be mortally wounded. 1t
being almost dark guards were placed
and the chase was abandoned until

Cleveland. Aug. 1S.-The operators of
the Pennsylvania coal mines held a con-
ference in this city yesterday, at which
twenty-five big firms were represented,
including W. p. Rend & Co. 1t was de-
termined that the mines in the Pittsbure
district should be started and operated
without further delay. on the grounds
that the miners have taken a high
handed position; that nothing but an
unreasonable price for mining will sat
isfy their demand, and that they have
been unwilling to treat with the opera
tors on any fair grounds. Also that
there is no course left open to the opera
tors at this time. 1t was determined
that all coal sold at the 54-cent
basis Of mining this year must be mined
at that price. No change in the price
OF mining will be considered until the
contracts made at the 54-cent basis Of
mining are filled and the uniformity

COUNTERFEIT seveN-THIRTIes.
Notes That Were Issued Just After tf
War of the Rebellion.


Washington, Aug. 1S-There were
presented to the treasury department
yesterday for redemption two $1,000
7-30 notes Of the issue of June Is. 1865.
Upon examination the notes were found
to be counterfeits. being a part Of a
very large issue Of counterfeit notes
which appeared in the principal bond
markets about 1865 and 1867. The imita-
ton of the genuine is so complete that
many of the principal dealers in United
States securities purchased them freely,
and only discovered that they had been
victimized when the notes were thrown
out by the authorities at Washington.
The loss to bankers and dealers
through this counterfeit amounted prob
ably to several hundred thousand dol
lars. The only marked difference be-
tween the original and counterfeit is
found in the red seal. the points sur
rounding the seal in the genuine being
broader, more clearly defined and not so
long. There is also a slight difference
IN the signature OF General Spinner.
