Ten Thousand Dollars Taken by
Train Robbers.

Paducah, Ky, July 11.-The
Illinois Central fast train from
New Orleans for Chicago was held
up and robbed of about 10000
two miles south of Wickliffe, KY.
The train was tagged. The fire
man was badly beaten, while the
express messenger was driven
from his car at the point of a
rifle. The robbers, six in mum
Der, cut off the engine and ex-
press car and ran a mile and a
half to Fort Jefferson, near the
Ohio river, and within sight of
the Missouri shore. There they
blew open the express safe,
secured all valuables it contained
and crossed into Missouri. They
dropped one package containing
800 on the Kentucky side and
another package on the Missouri
side, both of which were found
to day.

Clarence, the s year old son of
Mr.. aud Mrs: j. Fl. McMurray,
was bitten by a watch dog, the
property of his father. about 10
days ago. Fearing that the dog
had hydrophobia, Mr.. McMurray,
after consultation with DR.. L, S.
kirkpatrick, decided to take
Clarence to Baltimore, NJ d., to be
given the Pasteur treatment, and
they left for that city Wednes
day evening. Letters received
from Mr.. McMurray state that
Clarence is getting along nicely
and has successfully stood the
operations incident to the treat
rnent. If the dog had not been
killed and the carcass allowed to
decompose several days before
the treatment was begun, it
would have been possible to de-
termine at the Pasteur Institute,
by an examination of the brain,
whether the canine had hydro
phobia-Fort Mil Times.

What Bryan's Election Means.

Suppose Bryan were elected
president what would happen ?
What sort of a president would
we have in him?
In the first place we should
have thoroughly honest man in
the White House. This Is a fact
conceded by Mr.. Bryan's political
foes as we'll as by his political
friends. And it Is more than the
Republicans can say of every
candidate for president put up
by their party.
We should have a president of
unquestionable ability. Mr.. Bry,
an has shown himself a man of
parts. He is not only a brilliant
orator, he has demonstrated his
possession of the qualities of
craftsmanship.
We should have a president
who is personally unselfish. Mr..
Bryan is devoted to principles
rather than to the advancement
Of his individual interests. He
is a broad minded man.
We should have a president a
man of tact and good humor. ME.
Bryan would enter the White
House without enemies to punish
or grudges to satisfy. He carries
no "knife."
And touching the politics and
issues on which this election
turns, we should have a pres
ident devoted to the republican
as against the imperial theory of
government; to the protection Of
the interests of the great body of
the people as against monnpolls-
tic cabals.
We should have a president
who has pledged himself to what
we at the east regard as mis-
taken theory of finance, but who
would be unable in the four wears
of his term to put his theory in
practice in any form.
All in all, even from the Re
publican point of view, there
have been many candidates, both
Republican and Democratic,
whose election to the presidency
would be properly regarded with
greater apprehension than that of
William Jennings Bryan.-Bos-
ton Post.

s HANOVER. Pa. Aug. 12.-The most
disastrous fire In the history OF this
place occurred to-day destroying six
teen buildings and entailing loss of
between $4,000 and $4,000. The fire
originated In the stable OF the Hotel
Obold. The flames communicated with
the storage warehouse OF the ]. C. Tan
ger Hardware Company. adjoining. An
explosion OF gunpowdcr or dynamite &C.
Cured In this buildlng-almost demol-
ishing the structure. Windows at 4
considerable distance from the scene Of
the fire were shattered. Burning
brands driven by the wind set fire to
other buildings In the vicinity. The
fire department was inadequate, AMI
aid was summoned from York by way
OF Baltimore, the direct wires having
been, destroyed by the flames. The vol
unteer department of McSherrytown
also rendered assistance. Thirteen
horses were burned to death in the
Shriver livery stable.
The sixteen buildings burned included
the Hotel obold, five dwellings ANA
barns. stables and warehouse.
About one-half the loss is covered by
insurance. Z;
An unverified rumor Is current that n
man named Trescher was burned to
death In the hotel. Howard Fischer,
colored. thirty-six, was overcome by
heat, in the obold and nearly drowned
by the water poured into the building.
