REWARD OF $4,000 is OFFERED

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Four highwaymen.
ell heavily armed. and two of them
wearing masks, held up the Illinois
Centrals Chicago and st. Louis ex-
press train, known as the Diamond
Special" on the outskirts of Chicago
as it neared Matteson, Ill.
The robbers secured all the money
and valuables carried by the 80 passen-
gers in the two Pullman sleeping cars.
stopped the train and escaped in the
darkness.
The forward sleeper was entered
first, the occupants were aroused, and.
with nothing on but their night clothes
were marched back to the Pullman car
behind. Two of the passengers who
were slow in responding to the com
mands of the robbers were hit on the
head with Ratchet.
When the passengers in the two cars
had been lined up in the rear Pullman,
two of the robbers stood guard, one at
each end of the car, with drawn re-
volvers. The third who is supposed to
have been the leaders ordered the pass
engers who had been compelled to
bring along their clothes from the first
car, to throw the garments on the floor.
The passengers in the rear car were
then commanded to return to their
berths and deposit their clothes in the
same heap. Then the leader. with the
utmost coolness, began to search the
clothing for valuables. When he had
finished this search he made a close
examination of the passengers for any
money they might have secreted.
SO systematic was the work of the
robbers and with so little confusion
that the train crew was unaware of
what was going on. 1t was not until
the engineer, in response to the sig
nal, brought his train to a stop that he
learned of the robbery.
No attempt was made to rob the
mail or express cars.
The robbers secured more than $1,000
In money and valuables.
G. H. Groce, superintendent of tele-
graphs for the Illinois Central. who
was one of the men robbed. left the
train at KanlIakee and notified the IL
linois Central railroad detectives in
Chicago. The latter notified the Cen
trail police, and detectives were sent
out on train to begin the search for
the robbers.
The officials of the railroad have
offered $4,000 reward for the capture
OF the robbers. $1,000 heing placed on
the head of each of them. A circular

LYNCHED IN TEXAS.

For making an alleged offensive re-
mark, Mr.. JOHN w. LARRIMoRE. a col
ored teacher and a Republican politi.
clan of state prominence, was taken
from his home at Lockhart, Texas,
Thursday July 2Sth, 1904, by mob of
eight white men, shot and killed.
That he was a man of influence and
responsibility, admits of no question
The commendable feature of the affair
was the brave action of his wife, who.
securing revolver opened fire ON the
mob and wounded one of them. This
is the only way out.
Influential colored men should see
that their residences are protected, and
they should be ready for all emergen.
cies. The worthless, absolute, high
strung, passionate colored people should
not have firearms, but the conserva-
tive tlaw-abiding colored citizens should
see TO it that he can measure arms with
any white thugs and would. be murder
ers. who have the audacity to endeavor
10 do him an injury.
When this lynching becomes a dan
gerous pastime, there will be a decrease
In the number of victims.
Mrs. LaRRIMoRE is a heroine. We
sympathize with her in her bereave.
ment and hope that her action may
cause others to follow her glorious ex-
ample. Lynch law must go!

KUROKI DRIVING
RUSSIANS BACK
Kuropatkin Badly Defeated at Lao
Yang.
BIS FORCES RETREATING NORTH

Toxic, Aug. 3.-General Kuroki has
administered severe defeat to the
Russian forces which defended the
Russian east flank at Lao Yang, win
ming separate actions at Yushulikzu
and Yangse Pass. These two places
are 26 miles apart. but the two actions
were fought at the same time. The
Russians held strong positions. The
thermometer registered over 10 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and the soldiers suf-
fered cruelty from heat exhaustion.
At Yushulikzu the Russians had two
divisions of infantry and some artil-
lery, and they resisted the Japanese
assaults vigorously.
Both attacks were begun at dawn
on Sunday. July 81. At Yushulikzu
the Japanese carried the Russian right
and left wings, but on account of the
strength of the main Russian position
they were unable to press the attack
The two armies rested Sunday night,
facing each other. At dawn on Mon
day the Japanese resumed the attack,
and by noon they had dislodged the
enemy and driven him four miles to
Laoholing
Their artillery opened on the enemy
and the infantry moved from Maku-
meza. The attack on this place was
made at l o'clock on Sunday, and by
nightfall the Japanese were in posses
sion of a majority of Russian positions,
although the enemy had resisted with
determination. The Japanese forces
passed the night in battle formation
and another assault was made on Mon
day at dawn. BY 8 o'clock Monday
morning Yangse Pass and the sur
rounding heights had been captured.
General Kuroi explains the slowness
| OF these actions by saying that the
difficult Typographical the battle fields
made it impossible to secure good ar
tillery positions, and that the great
heat fatigued his troops.
The Russian force at Yangse Pass
was estimated at two and one-half di-
visions and four batteries of artillery.
The enemy retreated toward Tang
hoyen.
General KTold reports the capture
OF some field guns, but the number is
not given. The Japanese casualties
are being investigated.

MORE TROUBLE FOR THE STREET.
CAR FOLKS.

TCDGEJ NJ. MULLEN of the Corpora
7AIon Court of Petersburg, Va, has rem
oae-ed decision in the application for
THE appointment of n receiver and the
sale OF the street-car properties in the
case of Mr.. GEORGE Z. FISHER ct ais
versus the VIRGINIA PASSENGER and
E'owER COMPANY and announced his in
tsntion to grant the request of the Pc
1Stioner.
This action is severe blow to the
styest-car company's interests. He will
also order a sale of the road after reas-
11able time, provided the revenue de-
rived from the operation of the line
does not relieve the company from its
sinancial embarrassment. He has an
Slounced too, that he will not grant a
Saspending order for ninety days as re-
sluested by the defendants if there is
any authority for his not doing so.
This will necessitate immediate action
Son the part of the Supreme Court of
Virginia or one of its judges, else there
will bea conflict between the receiver
appointed by Judge MULLEN and thos @
appointed by Judge WADDILL of the
United States District Court.
His Honor, Judge MULLEN asserts
that the financial condition of the
S$Teet.car company and its branches has
grown steadily worse This empha-
sizes the fact that the "Jim Crow fea.
Gure has tended to aggravate the situa-
ZION and reduce the revenues of the

The arrangement is impracticable and
should be done away with. The

KUROPATKIN REPORTS
His Troops Retired, After Stubborn

Fight, With Heavy Losses.
St Petersburg, Aug. 3.-The emper-
or has received the following dispatch
from General Kuropatllin, dated Au-
gust l.:
According to the reports OF the
officer commanding the eastern portion
of our army. his troops, after aban-
doning advanced positions in the
Yangse Pass, retired in the direction
of Liandiansian towards Saimatsze
and Lao Yang.
Yesterday our troops. after a stub
born fight, retired from their advanced
posts to their principal position, but
although our troops held their ad-
vanced positions, they sustained heavy
losses. I hope that in their main po-
sitions they will maintain a successful
struggle even against the numerically
superior enemy.
According to reports received dur
ing the last few days General Kuroki
has effected a concentration of his
forces in order to strike in the direc-
ton of Saimatsze and Lao Yang.
GAIL the Japanese trocps which were
pOoNCu III IAlC dllC(NlOh vi
and near Sassyr seemed to be intend
ed to operate on the right bank of the
Taitse river.
To-day the enemy is acting unde-
cidedly on the southern front. but a
reconnaissance has ascertained the be-
ginning of turning movement of the
left wing of our troops posted at Hal
cheng by at least three Japanese divi-
sions.
"Our eastern detachment was en-
gagged until noon today in the direc-
ton of Samaitsze and Lao Yang. 1t
was seen that the enemy was advanc-
ing, apparently in small bodies, against
the right flank of our rear guard"

the direction of the Saimatsza-Liao
Yang road July 80 and 81, the Russian
vanguard retaining its positions until

In the meantime a serious envelop-
ing movement of three Japanese divi-
sions was maturing around the Russian
left at Haicheng, where there already
was heavy lighting on July 81.
