MURDER AND THEFT.
Thieves Board an Express Car In
Ohio, Kill the Messenger and Es-
cape with Big Sum.

Columbus, O., Aug 10.-Charles
Lane, aged %, an Adams express mes
senger residing in this city, running
on the Pennsylvania between Cincin-
natl and Columbus, was killed last
night and the safe of his car robbed.
The. murder and burglary were not
discovered until the train arrived in
this city at II o'clock.
Lane had evidently been killed only
a half hour before he was discovered.
He had been shot through the heart
and death had apparently occurred in
stantly. \ key sticking in the door
of the safe, which was wide open and
empty, explained how the robbery had
been effected after Lane had been
killed. The murder and robbery are
supposed to have taken place between
Milford Center and Columbus.
The officials of the express company
give no statement as to the probable
amount of money secured by the rob-
bers, but it is reported to have been
$4,000.

NOW A MISNOMER.
Title of Brakeman on Passenger
Trains May BE Changed to That
of Assistant Conductor

Some of the railroads are considering
the advisa bility of abandoning the
time-honored title of brakeman on pas
senger trains and calling him assistant
conductor. The brakes on passenger
trains are no longer worked by hand,
but by air, and, therefore, it is argued
that the old title is a misnomer.
"'Fhe name brakeman said a rail
road man, has been a misnomer ever
since brakemen ceased to be brakemen
that is, when air brakes came into
use. A brakeman nowadays has moth
ing whatever to do with the brakes.
He simply attends to signals, calls
names of stations, and otherwise as
sists in conducting the trains. The
change to assistant conductor is logi-
cal, because these men are frequently
promoted to conductors. Besides, it
would tend to raise the standard of
the calling"
This question of change of title
will probably be taken up at the next
meeting Of the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen, which is made up prin-
cipally of brakemen, and all the roads
will be asked to adopt this change.

MORMONS TO BUILD TEMPLE.

Church.

Twenty-four Mormon elders from
Utah are at work in Missouri prepar-
ing for the building on the famous
temple lot'' at Independence of the
great temple which is to supplant
that at Salt Lake as the earthly
throne Of Mormonism. and Jacob N.
Larsen is president of the elders who
are working chiefly in the vicinity of
Kansas City and independence.
I'VE cannot say yet just how soon
we shall build the temple" said Mr..
Larsen, "but you and l will live to see
its completion and to see Independ-
ence the new center of Mormonism, as
Salt Lake is to-day. Joseph Smith
prophesied that Independence was to
be the new Jerusalem of Mormonism
and we are working in fuIfllment OF
that prophecy. Utah will not be for
saken by our people when we get
ready to build a temple in Independ.
ence. Of course, a great many will
come here from Utah, but we will
have our churches out there. all OF
which will be under the control of the
Independence church,"
Already the Utah Mormons are com.
ing. Five years ago there We're only
four families of Brighamites (Utah
Mormons) in Jackson county Now
there are hundreds. Some of these are
local converts, but more are immi
grants from Utah.
