Chicago, Aug. q. The, Baltimore &
Ohio passenger train from the east
which was due to arrive in the Grand
Central depot, chicago, at O'Clock
last night, was held up by five masked
men at 8 o'clock last night between
Edgemore and 49, Grand .g.s Calumet
Heights, Ind, thirty-one miles out
from Chicago. One OF the mail cars
which contained no money was dyna-
mited and wrecked. The attempt at
cars had been detached from the train
and run a quarter of a mile ahead;
The failure of the robbers to make q
rich haul was due to the fact that the
express cat, which contained !" the
trains treasure, was in an unusual
place. 1t was the third car in the
train. After wrecking the mail car and
obtaining no booty the robbers disap-
peared in the darkness without. at
tempting to rectify their mistake. The
only loot that they carried away with
them as a result Of their adventure
was the gold watch of the engineer.
The train was the New York and
Washington vestibule limited. Most
of the trainmen We're shot at and had
narrow escapes from the bullets. No
person was injured either by the dyna-
mite or firearms. The place where the
robbery occurred is lonely district in
which few people live and houses are
far between. No better place for a
train robbery could be desired by the
robbers.
After the escape of the robbers the
train was hastily made up and came
on to Chicago, arriving here somewhat
late, a stop having been made at
Whiting to report the robbery. Of
ficers were at once sent after the rob-
bers and within an hour after the rob-
berry large posse was on their trail.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2.-The second day
Of the Amalgamated association ex-
ecutive boards deliberations was nota-
BILE for the many rumors in circulation,
and for the conspicuous dearth of re-
suits. The absence of three of the
principal members Of the board from
the scenes yesterday gave rise to the
story that the members were divided
in their ideas Of the peace proposals,
and that in order to satisfy all, Secre-
tary Williams had been sent to New
York to seek notifications at the
hands of Messrs. Morgan and Schwab,
while Assistant Secretary Tighe and
Trustee Morgan had received COM
mission to visit Senator Hanna to se-
cure his aid in bringing about an ami
cable arrangement. Nothing tangible
could be learned concerning these sup
posed trips, however, and all talk In
relation to them must remain merely
conjecture until the return of these
members. Orders were issued that re-
porters should not be admitted to the
building during the sessions of the
board. The condition of affairs may be
summed UP in this paragraph:
The steelworkers' strike against the
United States Steel corporation
I Is Still Unsettled.
The status Of the contest Is I'M
changed. The men are fighting for
every advantage while the companies
involved are strengthening their posi-
lions as much as possible. The con-
ference of the members of the general
executive committee of the Anal
gamated association was expected to
settle the trouble one way or the other
yesterday. adjourned at o'clock with
out accomplishing this purpose.
Confidence was felt in some circles
yesterday that the strike would even
tually be settled on the propositions
made by Mr.. Morgan. The officials of
the steel companies who have been
acting for the United States Steel cor
poration in this matter were apparent
ly hopeful and light-hearted. The de-
lays in the settlement are fully un-
derstood by the Morgan representa-
tiyes, and While all maintain the
sternest silence regarding the matter
they are not able to conceal their feel
tngs Of contentment and satisfaction
over the way things are going. One of
these officials remarked to friend yes
'terday that II the strike was not set
tied he would be more than surprised.
