About noon the citizens of this mountain

of rifles near the courthouse square. Three
masked men, armed with Winchesters and
braces of heavy Colts pistols, were firing
into the open door of the Sevierville Bank.
The volley came more as a signal than
as a surprise to the officers Of this place,
who had been warned that an attempt
would to-day be made to rob the bank by
three desperadoes. They accordingly Sc
creted themselves in building opposite the

A point in favor of the defense is that the

HOLD UP" IN ILLINOIS
NORTHWESTERN LIMITED TRAIN
ROBBED BY FIVE MEN.
Engineer White Seriously Wounded
The Express Car Blown Open
with Dynamite.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The Northwestern
m. tonight, was held up not far from De-
kalb. ILL.,, and robbed. The train was due
at Dekalb at 1880, and the hold-up occurred
three miles from Maple Park, ILL.,
1t is not known whether the robbers Sc
cured any great amount of booty. spe-
cial train containing 9. number of armed
men and detectives left the Northwestern
station in Chicago tonight, bound for the
scene of the robbery. 1t is said there were
five masked men engaged In the operation.
The train was tagged. and while two Of
the men compelled the engineer and fire.
man to run the engine ahead, the others
robbed the train.
The robbery was evidently carefully
planned. Twenty minutes before the train
was due at Maple Park the robbers burst
into the station house, and, presenting re-
volvers at the head of the station agent,
compelled him to remain quiet while they
bound him. After tying him fast to the
chair they forced gag into his mouth and
left him helpless. The signals were then
changed so the train would be compelled to
stop before reaching the depot. The rob-
bers went down the track to the point
where the train would stop and waited for
it. AS soon as it came to a halt two of
them covered the engineer and fireman with
revolvers, and, after uncoupling the engine,
compelled the engineer to run it down the
track two miles. They then blew up the
express car with dynamite. demolishing it
and blocking the track. They then blew
open the safe and rified it. 1t is not known
how much money was secured. Imme-
diately after grabbing what they could
from the safe the robbers fed into the
darkness. They are now being pursued,
but the robbers have quite lead over the
posse that is after them.
Engineer Daniel White, of the train, was
shot and ii is reported very seriously
to run his engine away from the train
After shooting him one of the robbers ran
the engine down the track two miles to a
switch, where it was killed"
1t is also reported that the station agent
was badly wounded and was left uncon-
scious on the depot floor when the robbers
went out to stop the train. 1t is not
thought that his injuries are fatal. but it
was two hours after being assaulted before
he recovered consciousness.

Derailed by Beers and the Crew Made
Prisoners.

LONDON. Oct. 13-The Evening News
publishes the following dispatch from Cape
Town: IAN armored train has been de-
stroyed south Of Mafeking and fifteen
British troops were killed. The Beers
shelled the wreckage after the train was
derailed.' A later dispatch to the Evening
News says the armored train was attempt
ing to run through the Beers.
The War Office later received the follow
ing dispatch from the general commanding
the Cape Colony forces:
Cape Town, Oct. Is, lao D. m-An ar
mored train from Mafeking. conveying two
seven-pound supporting guns, sent from
here to Mafeking, was attacked last night
at Kraipan. Apparently rail had been re-
moved. The train left the track and the
Boers captured it. Telegraphic communica-
ton with Mafeking is interrupted at Krai-
pan. The women and children have been
sent to Cape Town. The guns referred to
belonged TO the colony. They are light and
of old pattern"
A later dispatch says the entire crew Of
the armored train. with the exception of the
engine driver. were made prisoners by the
Beers.
1t was reported in Cape Town to-day that
a collision had taken place between trains
bearing refugees near Victoria, West Cape
Colony, nine persons being killed and many
others injured. The report was not con-
firmed.
A dispatch from vryburg says the train
from Mafeking. with 300 women and chill
dre1. passed through Vryburg on the way
to Kimberley. All on board were we'll.
The announcement that the Beers had de-
stroyed an armored train on the western
border of the Transvaal is calculated to
bring home to "the man in the street. the
realities of war. Taken in conjunction with
the earlier announcement from Vryburg
that two thousand Beers were holding the
line. 1t can only be inferred that the train
was either destroyed by artillery or blown
up by dynamite or some other powerful ex-
plosive.

THE NEW YORK MYSTERY.
Not n CIew Discovered on Which to
Hang Even a Surmise.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13-Police Captains
Schmittberger and Price worked all last
night on the Seyenteenth-street woman
mystery. but they reported to-day that
nothing had been discovered. Every clew
that has been followed up so far has led TO
nothing. The police continue their denials
that any arrest has been made having even
the remotest connection with the case 1t
was alleged that a clew had been found in
the house of Mrs. Barbara Damn. of West
e-hundred-and-ninth street. The police
received some information which led them
to search the premises of the family but
nothing was found that would in any way
connect Mrs. Damn with the mystery The
house is an old two-story frame dwelling,
with barn. It's occupants are Mrs. Damn,
her son George, who is the driver of a fur
niture van. his daughter Emma, Mrs.
Damm's daughter, Miss Emma Brown and
four boarders, who sleep on the second
floor. The policeman searched the house
and barn. number of pieces of red
stained manila paper were found, and there
were two old saws with rust on them and
an old worn, dusty and stained pair of
trousers The saws were old, and dust was
so thick on them that they could not have
been used in the last six months. The
trousers certainly had not been worn more
recently than six months ago. The manila
paper was Of the oroinary make, and the
police say they did not see how they could
have anything to do with so recent a mur-
der.
The police say they have not given up
their search for Mrs. Gertrude Billings, the
missing wife Of George Billings, although
the parents are sure their daughter is well
and alive. The woman murdered had suf-
fered from pleurisy, and it has been discov-
cred that Mrs Billings had an attack of
pleuro-pneumonia about a year ago

government. Under the terms of the treaty
Of peace this ordnance was to remain for

chase it, Otherwise it was to be the property
OF Spain. The six months period has Just
expired and as none of the guns has been
purchased. unless General Otis has done so
without notifying the War Department the
Spanish government is probably at liberty
TO dispose of it. About the only guns of

EN- ROUTE TO BOSTON.
Dewey Greeted at All stations and
Given an Ovation mt the Hub.

BOSTON, Oct. 13.-Admiral Dewey and a
small party of friends, including his son
and Lieutenant Brumby, left Mortified,
VT, at 1880 this afternoon, on a special
train of two parlor cars. At every station
there was cheering crowds and occasionally
a Grand Army post would be drawn up in
line. Salutes were fired with torpedoes or
with rifles. At each station the train was
slowed up so that the people could see the
admiral, who sat at the windows in the rear
car. At White River junction the train was
sent across the river to West Lebanon.
where the train Of President Tuttle, OF the
Boston & Maine road, was waiting, con-
tanning, besides the president and other rail-
road officials, Governor Frank w. Rollins
and other New Hampshire officials. and
representatives of the Governor and Legis-
lature of Massachusetts.
The car in which the admiral rode was
attached to President Tuttle's train. and
Governor Rollins, who was to conduct the
admiral through New Hampshire, was in
troduced to his guest. By this time the
crowd of sightseers was cheering and the
admiral stepped upon the rear platform in
time to hear the Dartmouth boys, from
Hanover. give the yell. Then they called
for speech and the admiral said: Il cam
not make a speech"
Just then the train started, the college
boys yelled and the admiral called out,
That's 1t. boys; you will own the country
some day"
AS the train ran through New Hampshire
the enthusiasm increased as the crowds
were larger. Factories along the track
blew their whistles. fire bells were rung and
torpedoes were continually exploded along
the track. At all the stations the train ran
slowly and the admiral and Governor Roll
