Vicinity OF Rupltngton.

vicinity OF Rurltngton.
Burlington, Oct. 81. Only to the most
acute newspaper reporter is there any
evidence here that activity in the $20.
900 Adams Express robbery has been
renewed. So far as general appearances
are concerned there is not q ripple on
the surface. Mr.. w. H. Glenn is reg
sistered at the hotel under an assumed;
name and the four Pinkerton men with
him are unknown, they assuming the
gulse Of ordinary transient business
men.
s 1t is known that Mr. Glenn and the
detectives are now convinced thai the
express package was stolen at this emu
of the line, and 1t is thought from tn,
secret methods adopted that they be-
lieve the guilty party may be located
here or in this vicinity. The wall pa
per which formed part of the bogus
package has been traced from Bur
lington store to LaHarpe. ILL.,, fifteen
miles distant, where it adorns the wall s
of a saloon. The man for whom " wa 9
purchased has not been found.
Glenn is confident that none OF the
stolen money has been put in circu la;
ton as yet, and equally comic dent thai
the thief will be caught. So far az work r
being done in Burlington by the detec.
lstives is concerned, nothing Is known,
not word or hint being given out. y

Engineer George Arnold, Of Clinton,
who is one of the Oldest and most care
full men on the road. 1t was very dark
and was raining when the accident oc-
Cured, and 1t is thought that the slip

passenger stopping his train when he
saw the freight had the crossing. One
of the freight cars. the one that re-
Iceived the greatest force of the collid-
ling engine, was thrown up into the air
and was wedged in between the engine
and the depot. Another car was thrown

The engine suffered but li1tel( the pilot

be addressed by Hon. c. w. Mullan, Of

has been notable on account of the in-
activity Of all parties and the small
number Of meetings for presidential
year. Not over half dozen meetings
have been held in the county by the res
jpublicans and but two or three by the
democrats. The Overwhelming repub-
slicism of the county gives that party
the feeling of security. while the oppo-
sition recognize the futility Of effort to
accomplish anything along political
lines. and combined the elements en-
8tering into real live campaign have
been such as to stir up little interest.
