ders.ood RaiIroading. A Plan to Ditch
the Train Had the First At
tempt Failed.
(By the Associated Press.)

Mount Carroll, Ills, Aug. Ga daring
and successful train robbery occurred at
Marcus, on the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railway, five miles north Of
Savannah about midnight.
The fine vestibuled passenger train of
eleven coaches, Conductor Emerson IN
charge, was tagged at the little station
and six masked men boarded the engine.
The engineer and fireman obeyed the i'm,
perative orders and the robbers at once
uncoupled the engine and express car
from the train and ran them quarter
of mile up the track They then llew
up the express car with dynamite, ran
the engine north a distance of a mile
from Hanover, and the locomotive be-
coming 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.
Express Messenger Byl claims to have
done the shooting.
The deed was done quickly, the train
men 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 fiagman walked back
and gave the alarm. A special train os
citizens and several policemen at once
proceeded to the scene, but as the track
runs along the Mississippi and the coun-
the robbers easily escaped. The work
was evidently that of experts as they
went at it coolly and methodically
-Four explosions were required to COM
plete the destruction of the safe, and
the car was badly wrecked The robbers
were eight in number, all masked. They
evidently were railroad men. one being
a good engineer. Messenger William
Byl fired five shots at 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 prisoners 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.

RED HANDED AS CAIN
CoIIiery Waterman Set Upon
by PrCwIing Assassins
and bone to Death.
(By the Associated Press.l

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug 6.-Daniel j.
Sweeney, a Waterman in the employ Of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Company at their Bliss colliery in
Hanover township, was found dead in a
field in Hanover township today. He quit
work at midnight and was followed ty
a score of men. The men were making
threats and Sweeney was afraid of them.
He took refuge in a saloon and waited
there for some time. After he thought
the crowd that followed him hal dis
persed he left for his home. This was
the last seen of him alive. The suppo-
sition Is that the men who followed him
from the mine were lying in wait for him
and when he approached the spot where
they were hiding they assaulted him with
pick handles and beat his brains OUT
The murdered man told the superin-
tendent of the mine where he Was cnl-
ployed that some of the strikers had
spoken to him last week and advised him
that it did not look right to see him
going to work, and that if he was wise
he would quit at once. Sweeney said he
needed employment as his family was
in want. The next day another delega-
ton of men met him on his way TO
work and told him if he did not quit
work he would be sorry.
Michael Yisko, John Smith and Ignatz
ShulIie, all foreigners, who were last
seen in Sweeney's company, were ar
rested this evening charged with being
implicated in the murder. They were
given a hearing before Magistrate
Kutskie, of Hanover township, and
brought to Wilkesbarre in a special train
over the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad. They were at once
taken to the county Jail.

southbound fast express on the Rock
Island road was boarded at Chickasha
this morning by a man who made de-
termined effort to hold up the train. The
robber encountered Brakeman Carpenter
on the rear platform of the last car, and
a desperate struggle ensued in which
Carpenter was shot three times through
the hand In the scuffle the pistol was
knocked from the robbers hands to the
track. The man then managed to pull
the automatic air valve. When the train
slowed up he dropped off and escaped
without securing any booty.

 Delegate Davenport said yesterday that the women he knew best were opposed to having the suffrage showed upon them.
 An official stenographer would have put in days work yesterday that the convention and the whole state would have been mighty glad to get the results of
 Delegate Davenport not only made an excellent speech yesterday but in cidentally he relieved himself of the suspicion that he had not harbored friendly feelings toward the rural ele ment of the convention. He showed an admiration of the town and re spect for town government that did him credit and made for him friends among those who had not taken kind ly to his allusions to minority control of the convention.

Some of the Results of q Fifteen Mil
 lion Dollar Investment.
 St Louis, Jan 10.--The following is rom the monthly financial circular of John Il. Davis < Co, bankers, New York:
 "A Good National Investment Something less than one hundred years ago the United States paid S15.- 100000 to France for about S64 OOO square miles lying west of the Missis- slppi river, which was somewhat in excess of the area of the territory em- braced in the original United States or America. About 100000 people were scattered about this area, which extended from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border on the north and the Pacific ocean on the west. Out of this area there have been created. Ill whole or in part sixteen states and territories, viz: Louisiana. Arkansas. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, the two Dakotas. Colorado. Wyoming, Washington. Oregon, Ida no, Montana and Indian Territory. This is about one-third the area of the United States.
 Was the purchase wise and prof ltable one? A few fiorres will an swer the question. In 1900 the popu- lat1on had grown to over I4,7OO,O0O The district produced that year 264.- 30O,O00 bushels of wheat. The corn product was nearly one-haIf of that of the entire country, and the oat crop about 38 per cent. The leading agricultural products, including wheat corn, oats, barley, rye, hay, potatoes and cotton, were valued at $755, ,00O,. GOO. The wool product alone was equal to the entire first cost of the territory. The value of the farm an. imals was over $S2O,OO0,OOO. Tn. cluded in mineral products were S27. 100000 of gold, $5O,0OOO00 of silver and 22.000.00O tons of coal. There were 5G18 newspapers published there in 1900, and nearly 6O,O00 miles of railway were in operation. Tho deposits in the national banks were nearly S33O000, Tn Nebraska alone there are 427 banks, with deposits oi about S32 O0O,0O
 Under the stimulus of American energy and industrial development the S15,OOOO00 paid out for 'Louisiania purchase has proved q pretty good investment"
