Viclisburg, Miss, Jan. 6.-Joe Gibbs,
said to be a western desperate, was
captured Wednesday night while en-
gagged in what is thought to have been
an attempt to hold up and rob the
westbound mail and express train on
the vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific
railroad
Gibbs and two companions boarded
the train at Eldorado, small station
between Delhi and Rayville La. Pass
ing through the smoker Gibbs fired a
number OF shots from Winchester
through the car windows, effectually
terrorizing the passengers. From the
smoker he entered the frst-class coach
and started the same performance. The
desperate then returned TO the combi-
nation mail and express car and de-
manded of Messenger Pepper to open
the door. Upon the messengers re-
fusal Gibbs attempted to batter the
door down. While engaged in this
Conductor Frank Sanders secured a
pistol from a passenger, and getting
the drop on the desperate disarmed
him and with the assistance of two
passengers bound him hand and foot.
AT Rayville Gibbs was turned over to
local officers.

ADDITION TO TRAINS.
"The Meteor and 1.-THE Worlds Fair
Special to the Frisco System.

The route Of this flyer is via Jul old
line, through the ozarks and Indian Ter
ritory to 5apuIa, thence over the Red
River Division through the historic Greek
Chickasaw Nations, via Denison and
Sherman, to Fort Worth and points
Southwest thereof; and via Sherman and
the Houston & Texas Central Rail
road to Dallas and Beyond. The more
newly-constructed portion OF the roadbed
traversed has been heavily baIlasted with
rock, laid with heavy rail, and In every
way brought fully up to the standard OF
other divisions of the Frisco System,
The train will be made up OF entirely new
equipment throughout, carrying Palace
Day Coaches, Reclining Chair Cars, Pull
man Drawing Room Sleepers an d
CAFE OBSERVATION CARS,
In which meals a la carte Will be served
at hours convenient to the traveller.
This service will be under the manage
ment of Mr.. Fred. Harvey, whose name
should be a sufficient guarantee Of careful
attention to the inner man. Just a word
about these cars: The dining room is To-
Gated in the forward end. The rear por.
ton OF this car is occupied by an obser.
walton saloon, and is provided with easy
chairs, writing desks and stationery, and
a library service embracing the leading
daily papers and the more popular weekly
periodicals. The train will be lighted
by electricity, and cooled by electric fans
during the summsr months.
TO THE TRAVELLING PUBLIC.
The Inauguration OF service OF
this character. means quite as much to
its patrons as it does to the railway com
pany interested. II we were not sanguine
Of the success OF this train, It goes with
out saying that 1t would never have been
established. It fills a long-ielt want and
opens q new and fast developing country.
But we feel that these are not the only
factors that may easo bly, tetxTtctto
contribute to Its success 1.-The time is ias
the train is q "handyn one, az rsgaros
hours OF arrival at and departure from
termini; and the equipment is ornate, ant
provided with all modern convenisnces
These features should, Of themselves,
tend to make the train popular.
We also take pleasure IN announcing
material improvements in our service via
Fort Smith and Paris to Texas and the
Southwest.
