BANDITS HOLD
Up TRAIN NEAR CHICAGO
MiStOOk the Mail Car for the Express and Got No
Booty for their Pains.
Used Dynamite Freely and Frightened Passengers By Fir
ing Off RevOverS.

Chicago, July 31.-The Baltimore &
Ohio passenger train from the east,
which was due to arrive in the Grand
Central station. Chicago. at o'clock
tonight was held up by five masked
men at O'Clock tonight between Edge
mere and Grand Calumet Heights, Ind.
JElrty-one mines out from Chicago. One
or the mail cars, which contained no
money was dynamited and wrecked.
The attempt at robbery was made
after the two mail cars had been de-
tached from the train and run a quar-
ter of a mile ahead The failure of the
robbers to make a rich haul was due
to the fact that the express car, which
contained the trains treasure was in
az unusual place. 1t was the third
car in the train. After wreckfIng the
mail car and obtaining no booty, the
men disappeared in the darkness with
out attempting to rectify their mistake.
The only loot that they carried away
with them as a result of their adven-
ture was the gold watch of the en-
gineer.
The train was the New York and
Washington vestibule limited Most of
the trainmen were shot at and had mar
row escapes from the bullets. No per
son was injured either by the dyna-
mite or firearms. The place where the
robbery occurred is a lonely district
where houses are few and far between
The train was running at a high rate
of speed as it passed Calumet Heights,
and Immediately passing out OF sight
of the station, Engineer J. W Collins
saw directly in front of his engine a
large fire on which some rails had been
placed. He slowed down, and as he did
so three men wearing masks over their
faces Jumped into the cab and covered
Collins and his fireman, James Whlp-
pie, with receivers.
Shooting Created Panic.
Just before climbing into the cab the
three men commenced to fire with their
revolvers to frighten away all assist
ance. The shots produced the iVeliest
kind of panic in the sleeping cars
where the passengers made every effort
to hide their money and valuables be
fore the robbers could get at them Nc
attempt was made. however, to rob any
of the passengers.
After mounting into the cab OF the
engine. the robbers, covering the ehgl-
neer and iremen with their reyOlvers

Columbus. O.. July 31.-The PRO
gressive Democratic party" was or
ganized here today. The attendance
was so small that many doubted up to
p. m. whether any attempt would be
made TO hold a state convention.
During the week toll ving the recent
Democratic state convention a confer
ence was held at Cleveland and a pro-
test was issued against the action of
the Democratic convention in ignoring
Bryan, free silver and other issues, and
in not reaffirming either of the ma
tional platforms on which Bryan made
his contest for president At that con-
ference a call was issued for a state
convention of Bryan Democrats and
others opposed to both the Democratic
and the Republican state platforms, to
meet here today. Circulars contain
ing copies of the call and the platform
of the proposed new party were sent
out by mail, and were widely published
However, less than a dozen persons re-
sponded today to participate in the
christening OF the new party.
George A. GroOt, who called the con-
ference at Cleveland and presided over
it on July L. was both temporary and
permanent chairman today, and was
made chairman of the state committee
of the new party. The convention was
held in his room at the Great Southern
hotel, and in that small room he deliv-
cred his keynote speech, holding the
floor for half an hour
Even the promoters Of the movement
did not disguise their disappointment
over the small attendance. 1t is said
that a few other persons who came to
Columbus in response to the call were
unable to find the meeting place.
