The Limited Express Stopped by
Robbers Near Chicago.
EXPRESS TREASURE SAFE.
Through Mall Attacked by Mistake and
Error Discovered Too Late for .

$50 Watch.

Chicag Aug. MASKED men. four
in number held up the incoming linn
tied train of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad in the darkness of the
marshes a little to the east of Edge
moor, Ind, just thirty-one miles from
Chicago, at TAO o'clock last night. 1t
is thought they made their escape in
boat. Firing fusillade of shots
the length of the train to intimidate
the passengers and train crew as a
warning against interference, they
wrecked mail car with dynamite,
installing it for the express car. The
car was laden with through mail. At
the point of revolver they forced the
fireman to uncouple the first two cars,
compelled the engineer to run them
200 feet ahead of the broken train.
Then threatening to kill him unless
he did their bidding, made the engin-
eer himself apply the dynamite which
shattered the car. The United States
Express car, carrying thousands of
dollars and yaluables from New York
City, Baltimore, and the East, was the
third car from the engine and, discov-
ering their mistake too late to make
an effort to get this treasure, the rob-
bers jerked the engineers watch from
his hands and fed over the sand into
the darkness of the woods lining the
track at this point. They secured no
other booty than this $50 watch, and
as no one was in the mail car the two
charges of dynamite which were fired
caused no loss of life. A great ragged
hole near the forward door told where
one charge of the explosive had torn
it way. The twisted iron supports and
the shattered woodwork in the interior
with which the sticks of dynamite had
exploded. Officials of the United
States Express company are reticent
as 10 the amount of money in their
car, but it is said the safes contained
$4,000. At o'clock this morning a
special train, consisting of locomotive
and one coach, left South Chicago for
the scene of the robbery. The super
intendent of the Baltimore and Ohio
telegraphed to the police to spare no
expenses in pursuing the robbers. PO-
lice from the South Chicago station
patrolled the beach as far down as the
state line on the lookout for any craft
in which the robbers might have es-
capped, and the life saving crew sent a
boat out on the lake. Every police sta
ton from Hegewisch to Evanston was
warned to be on the lookout for fresh
water pirates Later, special details
of men were made to watch along the
shore of lake and river. Captain
Shippy sent one of his men to Edge
moor to secure the five O'Leary blood
hounds that are kept three miles from
the town A reward of $500 was Of
fered for any information leading to
the arrest of the robbers, and it is
thought that greater amount will be
offered today. The train was the New
York and Washington vestibule limit
ed, due to reach Chicago at 9 o'clock.
1t was in charge of Engineer J. W.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 1.-The Anal
.gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers national executive board
has received negative reply from J.
F. Morgan in answer to the PROPOSE
ton that five additional plants be al
lowed the union. The refusal was not
unexpected. Mr.. Morgan said he stood
upon his proposition, made to Presi
dent Shaffer and Secretary Williams
in New York on Saturday, that the tin
plate, sheet, and hoop companies
would sign the amalgamated scale for
the mills that were union on July /.
This did not include Clarke's, Paint
er's, and Lindsay & McCutcheon's
Wellsville and McKeesport. Failing to
get any concession from Mr.. Morgan,
the amalgamated officials are now try
ing to secure reopening of the con-
ferences with the representatives of
the constituent companies. The latter
offered them four mills-Wellsville,
Mckeesport, Salisbury, and the Old
Meadow plant at Scotdale. They think
they can, at least, get these four mills
from the manufacturers.
President Shaffer called on Joseph
E. Schwab, assistant to President c.
M. Schwab, and Veryll Preston in the
Carnegie Office building today. There
were rumors that a conference would
be held tomorrow. but Mr.. Shaffer de-
MED this. Officials OF the association
say the settlement of the strike is now
up to Mr.. Morgan and the steel COM
bines. Those who do not agree with
President Shaffer's policy have urged
former President M. M. Garland to
take hold again of the peace negotia
tions where he left off last week. Mr..
Garland is the surveyor Of the Port of
Pittsburg, and is influential on both
sides of the controversy. He was max
ing rapid progress toward a confer
ence last week One of the highest
officials of the United States Steel cor
poration side-tracked him by having
President Shaffer and Secretary Will
iiams brought to New York. Mr.. Gar
land stepped aside, thinking that some
good would come from the visit.

OF NEW LINE

Considerable interest is being taken
in the advent of the local line of YES
seis between Honolulu and Kahului
and san Francisco which the Ameri-
an-Hawaiian Steamship Company will
inaugurate with the Hyades about
January 4. Just what effect the line
will have on the other transportation
companies is of course, pr0blematical,
but in some circles, it is thought that
there will be some rate cutting before
the new line has been operating many
months.
The new company, which will do only
freight business, has named a net
rate of $3.50 ton. This is about 81 80
ton lower than the rate by the reg
ular passenger steamers and about the
same as by the sailing vessels.
While the new boats can not make
the fast time that the passenger boats
do, they will do much better than the
sailing vessels and the new line will
naturally make inroads on the business
of this class of boats. To what extent
it Will cut in, can not of course be
forseen but shipping men are inclined
to think that the new line will do a
big business.
So far as the shipments by the pas
Senger boats are concerned, there does
not seem to be any immediate prospect
that the new boats will cut in that
business right at once. The new YES
sells, which are to start running about
the first part of April, will be fitted
with refrigerating apparatus and they
Will be able to handle much of the
perishable stuff which now is sent by
the fast boats This character of stuff
| is of course gotten here as soon as pos
sible, and it may be that the shippers
will find it to their advantage to stick
to the present methods. Time however
will determine this matter.
The new boats, which are to be Oper-
ated on a semi monthly schedule are
| the Nevadan and Nebraskan. They will
make about an eight and a half day
trip from San Francisco. This is, of
course, considerably slower than the
passenger steamers which carry the
refrigerated stuff and perishabe goods
but. beats the sailing vessels consider
ably. There are times, 1t is true when
! the sailing vessels make the trip down
here in nine days but these runs are
not the order and the regular steamship
freighters will be able to beat the sail
ing vessels most of the time.

CHANGE OF ROUTE
RAPID TRANSIT WOULD GO UP
FORT STREET
Executive Council Receives a Request.
Harbor Dredging and New Hack
Rules Considered.

The Executive Council held a meeting
this morning and discussed many mat
ters brought up by the various heads
Of departments.
superintendent Of Public Works j, II.
Boyd reported an offer from the Ca
tholic bishop i'm connection with the
widening Of Fort street. The bishop
offered to give the needed 1900 feet Of
land, on condition that the government
lay a sidewalk and curbing and erect
an iron fence, and also give "A quit claim
deed to a small piece of land on Smith
street, in which the government is un-
derstood to have some kind of interest.
The proposition was favorably looked
upon by the members of the council,
and it will probably be accepted as
with other street widening propositions
when the necessary instructions are re-
ceived from Washington, as to transfers
of land.
Assistant Superintendent CampbelTs
report on the harbor dredging and a re-
port from him regarding seweage OF
Oahu prison, were also received. Camp
bell advised that bids be called at once
for the harbor dredging, and the matter
was referred to Boyd, to find out what
terms can be arranged with dredgers.
The matter of improving the sewerage
of the prison was also referred.
L. A. Thurston asked permission in
behalf of the Rapid Transit Company,
70 change the route of its cars between
Hotel and Fort streets and Lunalilo
street. The company wants to turn up
Fort to Kuakini instead of running
along Hotel and up Alakea as now.
Boyd reported some new hack rules,
which were approved by the council.
one new rule extends the 25 cent limit
to Bate street to enable passengers to
! ride to the Pacific Heights cars for %
cents. The other provides that hack
! men shall have sufficient knowledge of
English to know the various public
| places in the city.
The road between Kailua and Eeanai
Maui, was reported very bad, and the
expenditure of $1,000 on it was au.horiz ~
ed. The sum of $500 was ordered spent
on Ulupalakua road.
a request from w. c. Achi that the
water system be extended up the east
| side of Kalihi valley was not acted
upon.
