NERO IS NO MORE.
Special Officer May Loses His Old
and Constant Communion.

If Special Officer Dick May looks de-
Jected and melancholy to-day it can
be easily accounted for May has lost
his erstwhile constant and faithful
companion, Nero.
Nero was dog - just a common,
everyday sort of canine in appearance.
but TO his master he was worth his
weight in gold. For fourteen long years
Nero had trotted faithfully at the heels
of the officer as he made his all-night
rounds of J-street stores, in the cold
OF winter and the parching northers
of summer. Wherever Nav went there
also went Nero.
The end came last night. about mid
night. While May was talking with a
friend Nero lay down on the cool btu
men pavement on street to rest. Nero
was getting old. His bones We're stiff,
and he took advantage of such oppor-
tunities
AS he lay there dreaming perhaps of
his days of puppyhood a man drove
along at a rafting pace The clatter
of the horses feet aroused Nero and
he attempted to get out of the way.
but was too late. The horse struck
him with it's feet and knocked him
out He could not respond to the call
of time, and q few minutes later Nero
was dead.
No said May, when a friend sug-
gested that he would have to get an
other canine companion. III get no
other. Nero is gone, and no other dog
could fill his place"
That is why May has retired that
pleasant smile of his for the present.
But it will return.

of the men kept us covered, the other
went in the car and placed what valu-
ables he could find in a sack After
ransacking the treasure boxes he came
out.
THE engineer messenger and myself
were told to join hands and walk ahead.
After walking away from the train a
short distance we were told to halt, and
the robbers shook hands with us, and,
saying 'Adios,' disappeared in the dark
ness. We went back to the train.
One of the men was of medium hight,
with reddish hair and beard. and the
other was shorter and very dark. They
were both cool and seemed to know

Messenger Hughes did not know how

It is said that the rebels have decided
not TO advance further than She Hing,

plications in the event Of Canton be-
ing attacked. The creditability of this
report is questioned. as the inhabitants
of Canton are greatly in sympathy with

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
Eastbound Express Train Held Up
Near Humboldt.

WINNNEMUCCA (Nev), July A.
The first and most daring train robbery
for years on the Truckee division of the
Southern Pacific occurred at , o'clock
this morning, one mile east of Hum
boldt. Two masked robbers held up the
eastbound express train No. /. The
engineer, Wickland, and Fireman Nc
Dermott were taken off the engine and
compelled to go to the express car. The
robbers climbed over the tender and COW
cred them with revolver and Win
chester. The robbers blew open the ex-
the safe open. The car was complete
~ demolished. The amount secured is
not known. No one was hurt by the
explosion. Sheriff McDeid of Humboldt
County and posse are in close pursuit
and it is believed the robbers will be
captured, as they had only a few hours
start of the officers.
Fireman McDermott said: "a mile
east of Humboldt we heard a noise on
the back end of the tank, and looking
up saw two men climbing over the coal.
One had a rifle, which he pointed at me,
and the other covered the engineer with
a pistol. They kept US covered until
we reached the gangway. One of them
told the engineer to stop the engine. He
did so, and the man told US to get off
and go with them
Il asked if / could put on the injector,
SO that the engine would not burn up,
and / was told / could They kept the
guns on US while they waited. They bid
us leave the engine and followed us to
the express car After firing few shots
in the ground they told us 20 knock on
the door of the car and to tell the mes
senger who we were and not to shoot.
I'VE did, and the one with the pistol
Knocked on the door and called to the
messenger to open the door. Instead of
opening the door the messenger put out
the lights. The robber then put small
stick OF giant powder under the door
and touched it off, saying, / guess that
will fetch him.. The door was partly
blown open. They called the messen
ger again. This time he came to the
door, but they sent him back to light
the lamp. He was then told TO climb
out of the car and be good fellow.
After the messenger came out of the car
the robber climbed in and placed a
large dynamite cartridge near the door
of the safe, and. after lighting the fuse.
jumped out and we went ahead as far
as the engine and waited for the ex-
ploson. The report was terrific. We
could see the sides of the car burst out

WILL DAILY BE CALLED OFF?
Smith, Young and McDermott
Said to Be Trying to Prevent
His Running for Cow
ernor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, 1s9s.-It is ex-
peeted at the headquarters of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee that State
Senator and Free Silver Champion Will
liam D. DAILY, of Hudson county. will be
persuaded to withdraw from the contest
for the nomination for Governor. and to
accept the Democratic nomination for
Congress from the Seventh district.
1t is understood that If this programme
be carried out it will be because Senator
James Smith, Jr., has SO willed it. Sen
ator Smith is anxious to succeed himself
in the United States Senate. He has made
no secret of his belief, that, unless Essex
county can be carried by the Democrats
the Republicans will elect the Governor
and legislative majority. He does not be-
lieve that Senator DAILY can win in Essex
county.
L. McDermott. who was so jealous in
opposition to the free silver cause in 1896,
are all aiding Senator Smith in his EFFORTS
to bring about the Withdrawal Of Daily
and the result of this combination Of
heavy-weights can scarcely be doubted.
1t is said here that Senator DAILY has
claimed that without the backing of any
of these men, and without delegates from
Hudson, he can be nominated. But a
nomination this year is by no means
equivalent to an election, campaign funds
Will be light if Senator Smith and e. F.
G.. Young do not name the candidate, and
Senator DAILY is said to be tin1id about
defeat. The belief among his friends in
Washington is that he will withdraw
from the contest and content himself with
a ~onainatio for member of Congress.
Senator Smith thinks that il a popular
Essex county Democrat can be nominated
local pride in the candidate will help the
ticket. If an available Democrat be not
found in Essex the Senator will probably
support General Richard A. Donnelly. of
Trenton. for the nomination.
The Democratic Congressional Commit
tee has been led by Senator Smith 70 be-
Meve that If the candidate for Governor
come from Essex county, a Democrat will
succeed Richard Wayne Parker in CON-
gress. The Senator win have all the aid
the committee can give him in inducing
DAILY to become a candidate for Congress,
and the committee will render all possible
aid to the party in its attempt to carry
the plate. Each Congressional district
will be coded with speakers during the
campaign, and they will be kept IN the
State until election day. The committee,
however. will not be able to contribute
money. and this necessary slnew of war
will have to be supplied ~ Senator Smith.
Nj. Young and a few other rich men.
If DAILY does not announce his with
drawai those who are opposed to his
nomination will begin an active campaign

NO MORE BURROUGHS.
Jersey Troops at Fall
Church Preparing to
Move Camp.

CAMP ALGER, FALLS CHURCH. Va,
Aug. 8. 1S93.-No more members of the
First New Jersey Volunteers will be
granted furloughs unless in cases of the
most urgent necessity, until after the
division has arrived at its new camp. An
order to this effect was issued on Satur-
day by General M. c. Butler. commanding
the First Division of the Second Army
Corps. The order states that General
Butler desires that the ranks shall be
full when the move is made Under the
order issued last week by A~djutant-Gen-
eral Corbin the First New Jersey Regi-
ment is detached from General Plume's
brigade, and consequently from the First
Division. as General Wade's Porto Rican
expedition is officially known. The officers
of the Newark regiment are somewhat at
a loss as to just where they are att in
view Of the two orders, but they have
followed the spirit of General Buffers
order, and yesterday denied the applica-
tions of ~half-a-dozen men who sought fur
loughs.
The Jersey regiment still maintains its
standard of health, no new cases of seri-
Gus illness having been discovered in the
Jersey camp.
The boys of Colonel Campbelrs COM
mand had a welcome visitor on Saturday
In the person of Major Black, U. S. A.,
the paymaster, who came to give the lads
the pittance which Uncle Sam aliots
monthly to the men who carry his rifles.
Many Of the soIdiers secured leave of abb
sence for a trip to Washington. In every
case the company commanders before
granting the leave would put the men
on their honor to come back early and
sober AS a result every man was in
camp before the expiration of his leave.
and all came back IN good condition.
AS yet no additional Instructions have
been received by the commanders Of the
First New Jersey and the Third Virginia,
which are in the same brigade for the
Porto Rican expedition. in regard to the
proposed movement. Many Of the officers
have begun to believe that they are about
as near Porto Rico as they will ever get.
The permanent camp of the Second
Army Corps will likely be near Thorough
fare Gap, at the base of Pond and Bull
Run Mountains. about twelve miles from
Manassas. Orders TO this effect viii prob
ably be Issued within the next twenty
four hours. This location Is due to the
report made By Major-General Butler and
other officers who inspected the entire
country adjacent to Manassas. Those who
accompanied the General were Colonel
