TRAIN ROBBERY IN EAST.


Philadelphia, Feb. IA ear OF the Adj
ans Express company attached to n train
for New York was rifed by robbers en-
route. a quantity of miscellaneous
freight was taken, and, while the value
Of the stolen articles cannot as yet be
definitely stated, it is estimated ut about
$4,000. Superintendent Murphy is now
in Jersey City making an investigation.
The robbery was not discovered until
some time after the train had arrived at
Jersey City.
Express Messenger Thomas Barber of
Trenton was in charge of the cars be-
longing to the Adams Express company.
but his orders required him to remain in
4 car which carried diamonds and jewel
~, and consequently he was unaware of
the presence of the robbers in the other
car.
1t is believed that the robbers boarded
the train during the ten minute stop at
Trenton. The seals on the doors were
not broken, and it is thought the robbers
possessed a key.
The first news of the robbery came to
this city in the shape of telegram to the
principal local officers Of the Adams Elk
press company. Superintendent Murphy
and Agents Town and McNice held con
sutation, and the members of the night
force We're questioned regarding the make
up of the train. Superintendent Murphy
then went to Jersey City to conduct the
investigation there.
