THE GULF 7RAIN H0LDUP.
Express Messenger Tells the Story.
A Daring, Business-LKe and
Successful Exploit.

FORT WORTH, TEX, Sept. 4.-Charles
P. Drew, the Pacific Express Company's S
messenger on the Gulf train held up near
Folsom, N. Mex, last night, tells this
story of the hold-ur, which was very dar-
ing, very businesslike and thoroughly sue
cessfu:
about seven miles south of Folsom the
engineer and fireman were hailed by two
men craving over the tender. With
leveIed six-shooters they commanded
them to hold up their hands, which they
did. The robbers then ran the engine
to point they indicated, where the train
was stopped.
Then they turned their attention to me,
that is, they came back and crawled into
my car. l had opened the door when the
train stopped and two more mn who
were at the point covered me with re-
volvers and tried to make me open the
safe.
81 had a little tussls with them before
that and was knocked down twice and got
sore head end bad punch with the
muzzle of gun in my ribs. They said
they would Kill me if l did not open the

kill me, because l could not open the safe
and would not if | could.
Then they used dynamite, firing three
shots-two sticks in each of the first two
and four in the last. The through safe

This shows that between the years 1895
and 1897 there had been an increase ol
over SO 10000. and had the assessment
of over SI2, 100000 on bank property been
collected there would have been CORE
spond1ug increase in the returns The
non-collection of this could not be al
tributed TO either the Assessor or the
Board of Supervisors.
He further showed that the increase on
real estate and improvements during the
past year had been over 81, 6OO0 900, and
that the entire roll showed an increase OF
s.. 292, 900 despite the decrease OF ban
property values of over $4,000 600. He
also set forth that the assessed valuation
of CITY mortgages amounted to $5l, 600, 900,
while the assessed value of property in
yolyed amounted to but $73, 100000.
Morehouse and Beamer listened 10 Her
zer's statement altentlvely. Inadver-
tently, perhaps, the Deputy Assessor as
sumed that the State board last year
examined bat few of the mortgages. In
stantlv the response came from More
house that all the mortgages were exam
ined and listed by the board. Then 1t
began to dawn on the mind OF the Mayor
and others of the San Francisco delega-
t1on that the State board had facts and
figures.
H.rzer made the assertion that
there was not one volume OF the real
estate roll in which 'he total OF NOR
cages exceeded the assessment. This
Statement was chal enged, and subse-
ouently the S ate Iboard produced nsures
that were at. variance with the hgures
submitted by the Assessor. In the con-
tention Herzc- made the better showing.
At this point in the proceedings the
H hernia Bank was brought in Refer
ence was made by Herzer to tnirty-on g
foreclosure suits Instituted by the bank,
in which the institution was the purchaser
of the land and the assessment on the
property was 81 per cent of the money
loaned. Morehouse saw an opening mere

CAR CoUPLERs AND BRAKES.
Railroads Will Likely be Given
More Time to Put Them In.

WASHINGTON, Dec 3-The hear
ing by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission on the question of extending
the time in which the railroads of the
country may comply with the provis-
ION of the car coupler and train brake
Act was concluded at noon to-day. The
commission intends to take some sup
Elemental testimony under oath before
coming to a decision.
There seems to be no doubt whatever
that an extension will be granted, and
the extension VIII be general in char
acter, the hearing having demonstrated
that any discrimina ton would fall as
heavily on roads which have complied
with the law as on those which have
thus far disregarded it.
The general impression among the
railroad men and labor leaders who
We're in attendance at the hearing is
that the extension granted by the com
mission will be a compromise. The
railroad representatives asked for five
years, with the condition that one-fifth
of the equipped rolling stock of each
company should be equipped each
year, and the representatives of the
railroad organizations protested aganss
an extension in excess of three years
Three years is generally believed to be
the maximum which the commission
will grant.
The commission is evidently in great
doubt as to their ability to impose con-
ditions on an extension, and it may be
that they will grant but years exten-
sion, with the understanding that
against those roads who do not COM
plete the yearly portion of their equip
ment during that period the law shall
become operative.

BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.
DAILY Defeats Sutton and Schaefer
Wins From Ives.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-This after
Moons game in the billiard tournament
at Madison Square Garden Concert
Hall brought out Maurice DAILY and
George Sutton, both Of whom up to
date had lost all their games. DAILY
won the game. There was considerable
interest manifested in this exhibition
by the spectators owing to the fact
that the losing man would occupy last
position in the tournament at the close.
Sutton at times put up brilliant game,
but, as in his previous exhibitions dur
ing the present series, in a general way
he was very erratic. The same might
be said of DAILY, although he made one
of the best runs of the entire series
this afternoon, 13 points.
The score: Daily 500, Sutton 317
Averages: DAILY s 17-61, Sutton
5 1851.
SCHAEFFER DEFEATS IVES.
1t was a new champion against the
old at Madison Square Garden Concert
Hall tonight. Napoleon" Ives against

pion won. By far the largest crowd
that has yet attended the tournament
saw the game which was worthy of the
two experts who crossed cues.
The score: Ives 401, Schaeffer 500.
Averages: Ives II 5-33. Schaeffer
10 5-33.

WESTERN MILITARY POSTS.
Assistant Secretary Meiklej john
Reports Their Conditions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Hon. u.
Meflejohn, Assistant Secretary of
War, has just returned from a tour OF
inspection of the Western military
posts, extending TO the Pacific Coast.
and embracing some twenty States and
Territories.
Most excellent conditions were found
TO prevail at all posts visited, with
one exception, and that has been aban-
doned since his Inspection. He was
enthusiastic in praise of the officers
and men, and doubts if their equals
exist in any foreign army. He says
the superb discipline and military spir-
it everywhere conspicuous reflects great
credit upon General Miles.
Mr.. Meiklejohn made a thorough in
spection of the high power guns and
mortar batteries at the Preside of
San Francisco. He is strongly i'm
prssed with the wisdom of the recon-
mendation Of the Secretary of War in
his annual report for an additional force
Of artillerymen to care for and handle
the guns belonging to our fortifications
and sea coast defenses.
He says Secretary Alger put the
whole thing in nutshell when he said
Visit 10 any OF these batteries must
convince any practical mind of the
necessity for immediate action in this
matter.
During his absence of about six weeks
Mr.. Meiklejohn sought all possible ways
TO ascertain the condition of business
throughout the country. He is opti-
mistic in his views, and says there cam
not be the slightest doubt that we have
already entered upon a period of great
national prosperity
