Took to the Woods-Attempted to Rob a
Lake shore Express Car Between Erie
and Conneaot.
ERIE, Pa, November 16.-An attempt
was made by a gang of masked men to
rob lake shore train No. 2 between Erie
and Conneaut ait l o'clock this morning.
The robbers boarded the train at Ashta-
bula, where it stopped to take water. At
a lonely place called Dock Junction, two
miles east of Conneaut, the express mes
senger stepped from one car TO another for
the purpose of checking up some express
bills, when one of the gang sprang into
the car and broke into several packages,
Before he could get to where the envelopes
containing the money were the messenger
returned, and. seeing the robber at work,
gave the alarm.
The other members of the gang, who
were standing guard on the pltform on
the west end of the car, then pulled the
bell rope, and when the tram stopped
jumped off and made their escape in the
darkness. A sheriff's posse is securing the
woods but as they have little or no de-
scription of the robbers, there is but small
chance of effecting their capture.
No. 2 carries several thousand dollars
worth of money packages every trip. So
far as known the robbers did not secure
any booty. The men all wore dark masks
and were well armed.

THE PARADE RESPONSIBLE.
Employees Ran to See It and the
Boiler Ran Dry and Exploded.

NEW YORK, March 19-Colonel
Thomas P. Oehiltree, who occupied a
room on the second floor of the Wind
sor Hotel, and who fed to the Waldorf
Astoria, tonight told his opinion of the
cause of the fire:
THE parade (street parade on ST.
Patricks Day. was responsible for it,
1 was in a room next to the elevator
and just over the boiler room. The
room was filled with more than 200
paintings, the collection of wealthy
gentleman who was temporarily alb
sent from the hotel 1 would say the
collection was worth not less than
S10O,OO0. The parade drew every en-
ploye in the hotel from his post. They
were mostly Irish and took a keen in
terest in the turnout My theory is
that the boiler ran dry in the absence
of the engineer and exploded l know
that the flames came up under my room
and apparently from the boiler room.
The fire found free vent in the elevator
shaft and that accounts for it's rapid
spread. My Swiss valet deserted me
at the first sign of danger. 1 was in
bed, having just begun to recover from
the grip. I roused myself and had
scarcely time to get into my clothes
when my room was untenable There
is no doubt whatever of the origin of
the fire. 1t was under my room. I
know it,"

veillance for several days To-day

offered he arrested him. Wilson is in
Jail pending identification by the ANA
dor officials. He protested his inno-
cence, but the Sheriff is convinced he.

dor authorities.
The crime of which Wilson is sus-
pected occurred on the morning of
February 10th, on the road between
lone and Jackson, near where Black
Bart robbed the same stage in 1891.
Without warning shots rang out and
both driver and messenger were shot.
Peter Podesta, the regular driver. was
in chage of the stage and r. E. McCon-
nell, the regular shotgun messenger,
was going with Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
treasure.
The coats Of both men in front, where
they were buttoned over their bodies.
were literally riddled with buckshot.
while five buckshot entered the left
forearm of Messenger Mcconnell.
Podesta was struck in the right
hand by two buckshots, both of which
passed completely through his hand
He instantly whipped up his team and
rushed down the grade, while McCon-
nell fired back at the bandits, who
were soon left behind. The outlaws evi-
IDENTIFY expected to secure the monthly
shipment of treasure. from the Argona, ut
mine, which, however, was not on the

who menaced them in such a manner
that the Chief of Police was teaephoned
for. Marshal Joe Barthelow and Assist

work, but were soon met by another
mob of 500 or 600 Mexicans, many of
them armed. AS they could not con-
tend with this force the health officers
desisted and DR.. Blunt opened tele-
graphic communication with Governor
Ayers. AS result he was instructed
to call on the United States military au-
thorities at Fort Mcintosh in the name
of the Governor for such assistance as
was needed, and later he was informed

$4,000 Worth Of Jewe1ry.

NEW YORK, March ia P. Demo-
rest called at the East Fifty -first-street
Police station and reported that he had
q small safe filled with jewels valued
at $4,000 in the ruins of the fire. He,
his wife and daughter and son occu-
pied rooms on the third floor near Fifth
avenue and F'orty-seventh street. They
were all in their rooms when the fire
occurred. His daughter, when the fire
was discovered, went to the small safe
containing the jewels and tried to open
it, but forgot the combination in her
excitement. Mr.. Demorest stated that
when he opened the door to his room
he saw three men running about in the
smoke and going into rooms. They
We're not firemen, and he was certain
they We're not employees. He thinks
they were robbers. He and his family
then went out on the fire escape and
were rescued by firemen. Mr.. Demo
rest was apprehensive about the safety
of the safe and its valuables.
Thomas Cleary of Oil Third avenue

that he assisted a woman from the
hotel, whom he afterwards ascertained
was Mrs. Abner Mckinley. He took
her to the street and put her in cab.
Mrs Mckinley told him that she had
dropped a bag containing some jewelry.
He ran back and got the bag and gave
it to Mrs. Mckinley and she drove off.
Inspector Harley held Cleary in order
to verify the story OF three trunks
taken from the debris at Forty-seventh
street and Fifth avenue Saturday after
noon two were claimed by Abner Nc
Kinley.
