II Was His Text.

An amusing occurrence took place In
q Baptist church in New London, Conn,
when DR. Wightman, who was well
and f~avorabIy known In his denomina-
ton, was pastor.
One Sabbath morning q stranger
was in the pulpit with DIR. Wightman.
The latter, after conducting the usual
devotional exercises, introduced the
stranger as the Rev. Mr.. Smith. And
that gentleman, rising promptly, with
out mentioning chapter and verse, an
nounced as his text: "0f whom the
whole family in heaven and earth in
named"
After the service Mr.. Smith asked
Or. Wightman why the congregation
appeared to be amused when the text
was announced.-New York Times.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 14-Plunder val
ued at $500 most of 1t gold coin,
was secured by three bandits, who
held up the Pacific coast express on
the Burlington rad just outside this
city early yesterday morning.
The robbery was a bold one and
carried out with a perfection of detail
that prevented serious opposition by
the train crew or the necessity for In
1uring any n in either party. The
whole affair was completed in an hour,
and the robbers had a good start be-
fore an alarm could be given.
Officials of the railroad had been
warned in advance of the intention to
rob the train, which was to carry a
large sum of gold. The plan was to
commit the crime neal st. Joseph,
Mo-, a section famous for such deeds,
but apparently the gang learned that
their scheme had been tipped off" so
they shifted the scene. When no at
tack was made at the spot expected,
the railway men concluded the rob-
berry had been abandoned.

The railroad has offered a reward of
$1,000 for the capture of the robbers
and posses with bloochounds are
searching the entire district.
Train No. Al reaches Lincoln at
1885 a. M, and leaves for the North
west ten minutes later. 1t was a few
minutes late yesterday morning and
was in charge of Conductor c. A. Ly-
man and Engineer A. L. Clayburg.
On the crest of the hill midway be-
tween the city and town of Woodlawn
the engineer say q red light waved
across the track and brought the train
to a stand-still.
Two men sprang quickly into the
cab, covering Clayburg and his fire.
man with revolyers. They lost no
time in giving their orders and were
just as promptly obeyed. The express
"a was cut from the balance of the
train and run ahead a short distance.
The robbers found the door locked,
and after commanding Messenger
William Lupton TO open 1t and get
ting no response fred two or three
then opened.
Dynamite Wrecks Safe.
A heavy charge of dynamite on the
safe literally tore it to pieces. The
contents were taken out and the rob-
bers prepared to go. The two men
who we're in the car politely babe the
trainmen good morning, jumped from
the a and disappeared In the dark
ness. The passengers were not mo-
Iaatad nor uara tho fraiumQu ackad

The man hunt was continued Sun
day and the highwaymen seemingly
have distanced their pursuers. A
heavy rain has made the following of
the trail even with ~bIoodhounds out Of
