Chester Aug. 9.-The ware
house Of the Standard Oil com
pany was struck by lightning
during severe thunder storm
today and was burned to the
ground 1t was feared that the
large tanks adjoining the build
ing, which contained 10000
gallons of oil would explode,
but fortunately this did not
happen. A strong wind was
blowing in the direction of the
tanks and at times they were
completely enveloped in the
flames. Forty barrels of oil
stored in the warehouse was
lost. There was no insurance on
the building.
While the fire was in pro-
gress Capt J. D. Means fine
horse became frightened and
ran away and could not be
stopped before the buggy was
wrecked. The captain stuck to
buggy and escaped uninjured.

HlGHWAYMAN KILLED.
But His Pals Blew Up the Ex-
press Car and Got $4,000.

Mont Carol, Ills, Aug. "a
daring and successful train rob
berry occurred at Marcus on the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad, five miles north OF Sava
nah about midnight. The fine
vestibule passenger train of II
coaches-Conductor Emerson in
charge-was tagged at the little
station, and six man boarded it.
The engineer ~afd fireman obeyed
the impegstive orders and the
robbersSAt once uncoupled the
engine and express car from the
tgafn and ran them a quarter of
"a mile up the track.
They then blew up the express
car with dynamite, ran the engine
north distanes of a mile from
Ranover andfthe locomotive be-
coming deadthe robbers abandon
ed it and escaped. One of the
highwayunen was killed being
shot above tn, eye and also in
the legs He met instant death
while in the engine and his body
was dumped to the ground by
his companions as they went
away. ~,,,.,.,....,,..s.s,,',a''-'''S
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 telegraph
ing news of the hold up and
fiagman walked back and gave
alarm. A special train of citi-
zens and several policemen at
once proceeded to the scene, but
as the track runs along the Mrs
sissippi and the country is adap
ted to suceeeafIi Ia, ,;ht the rob.
bers earty escaped. The work
is evidently of experts as they
went at it cody and methodically
Four explosions were required
to complete the destruction of the
safe and the car was badly wreck
ed. The robbers evidently were
railroad men, one being a good
engineer. Messenger William
Bye fired five shots at the rob-
bers, but without avail and an
attempt was made to blow him up
in his car. The bandits had ar
ranged to ditch the entire train OF
nine hevily laden coaches had not
the signal to stop been needed.
Several passengers in the buffet
car including the porter were
held prisoners during the strug-
gle to crack the safe. 1t is
that the dead robber was killed
by a comrade by mistake. The
body was put on the tender and
run up the track a short distance
and then thrown in the weeds.
