The express and mail cars were separated from
the train, but the train crew soon had them
coupled up again. In the run from there TO
Texarkana the coaches were uncoupled twice in
a mysterious manner
On the arrival of the train here the United
States transfer clerk went to the door of the
mail car and knocked for the postal clerk to
open il. No response was given from the in
side officials then forced an entrance to the
car. and were astonished 10 find the clerk. John
N. Dennis stretched upon the floor. apparently
dead A hurried examination showed that the
registered packages had been ripped open and
robbed Of their contents, the most valuable OF
which was the Waco Memphis through pouch,
containing number OF valuable packages.
physician was sent for and it was found
that Dennis was alive, but unconscious. An
ugly wound in the top of his head told the
story Two hours later he was taken TO the hos
pitaI. where he revived sufficiently to give the
details of the robbery. Just as the train parted
at Bassetts. Dennis went into the mail car TO
stir up the fire. When he closed the door he
saw two men standing by the stove. one of whom
dealt him a terrible blow over the head with
heavy fire shovel The first blow felled him.

condition. He knew nothing more until he was
revived in the Texarkana hospital. He is in a
critical condition.
Examination Of the car showed that the rob

small trapdoor in the floor of the vestibule In
the vestibule is crank. with which a person
can uncoupie the from another and it Is
believed il was the intention of the robbers to
disconnect and get control of both cars 1t is
impossible 10 tell what the robbers secured, but

the men could have left the car at three different
places before the train arrived here.
Word reached here at noon that two suspected
men have been arrested at Naples near the
scene OF the robbery, but none of the stolen
packages were found. Dennis is an old and
trusted mail clerk.

Philadelphia Dec. 13-Owners Of coal carrying
vessels express the fear that in the near future
considerable OF this lucrative business will

by the fact that the Staples Coal Company. OF
Taunton, Mass a corporation closely allied with
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has now
under construction at Bath Me-. eight huge barges
and a seagoing tug. Some of these barges Will
carry 5000 tons OF coal and be manned by
crew of four men. whereas schooner OF the same
capacity would require crew four times as large.

sylvania Railroad Company intends 70 construct a
fleet OF coal carriers sufficient to enable II 70 cope

coal freights to England ports went as high

feet of SUFFICIENT size to carry it's own COAL SUI
