THE c., B. & @. TRAIN ROBBERY
THE USUAL METHODS PURSUED BY
THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

EXPRESS Car Blown Up by Dynamite,
Four Explosions Being Required
to open safe, and $1,000 In silver
secured-One of the Gang Killed
on Engine, Probably by COM
panion, and His Body Chunked
ger Claims Credit for Killing, but
His story Is Doubted.
Mt. Carroll, ILL.,, Aug. "a daring
and successful train robbery occurred
and Quincy Railroad five miles north
of Savanna about midnight last night.
The fine Vestibuled passenger train of
eleven coaches, Conductor Emerson in
charge, was tagged at the little sta
ton and six masked men boarded the
engine The engineer and fireman
obeyed the imperative orders and the
robbers at once uncoupled the engine
and express car from the train and
ran them a quarter of mile up the
track. They then blew up the express
car with dynamite, ran the engine
north distance of a mile from RAN
over and the locomotive becoming dead
the robbers abandoned it and escaped.
One of the highwaymen was killed, be-
ing shot above the eye and also in the
leg. He met instant death while in the
engine and his body was dumped to
the ground by his companions as they
sped away.
The express messenger, Bye, claims
TO have done the shooting The deed
was done quickly, the trainmen and
passengers making no defense. Six
sacks of money were secured, but the
amount is not known. The passengers
were not molested.
There was no way of telegraphing
news of the hold-up and a f1agman
walked back and gave the alarm. A
special train of citizens and several
policemen at once proceeded to the
scene, but as the track runs along
the Mississippi and the country is
we'll adapted to a successful flight,
the robbers easily escaped. The work
was evidently that of experts, as they
went at it coolly and methodically.
Four explosions were required to
complete the destruction of the safe
and the car was badly wrecked. The
robbers were eight in number, all
masked. They were evidntly railroad
men, one being a good engineer.
Messenger William Bye fired five
shots al the robbers, but without
avail, and an attempt was made to
blow him up in his car. The bandits
had arranged to ditch the entire train
of nine heavily laden coaches. had
not the signal to stop been needed.
Several passengers in the buffet car,
including the porter, were held prison
ers during the struggle to crack the
safe. 1t is thought the dead robber
was killed by a comrade by mistake.
The body was put on the tender and
run by the others a short distance, and
then thrown into the weeds.

Workers closed their doors this afternoon
against newspaper men SO that discussion

not be made public Guards were stationed

was ready to report Many of the miners
were willing that the reporters should re-
main, but they were in the minority, so
the reporters had to go.
1t was reported before the convention be-
gan that the committee had agreed to pre-
sent demand for a general advance for
bituminous miners equivalent to a 10 per
cent run of mine basis and a differentia1
of cents a ton between pick and machine

NATIONAL DISGRACE.
Carnegie DeplOres Shooting
Down Harmless FilipinOs.

New York, Jan. 2S.-"The killing of
men under the name of war wrote
Andrew Carnegie in letter which was
read at the P. F. Collier dinner at the
Metropolitan club last night, is the
foulest blot upon humanity today. We
see much discussion as to what IS or
what is not permissible under civilized
warfare. My view is that this is con-
tradiction of terms. There can be no
such thing civilized warfare. We
4ave made little progress IL the path of
genuine civilization as long as we can
find no better substitute for the set
Ting of international disputes than the
bI utal murder of one another. AS a
general proposition it may be stated
thRt the nation which refuses peaceful
arbitration is responsible ror The war
which ensues. Britain, having done this
in It's dispute with the Trarsvaal re-
public, is responsible for the extermina-
ton OF a brave and heroic Christian
people
But let us also remem Der that we
are today engaged in shooting down
Christian Filipinos whose only crime is
that they believe in the declaration of
independence. Sad that roth branches
of the so-called most highly civilized
race should be guilty of the most I'M
civilized crimes. Let us all pray that
this disgrace is soon to pass away"
