Demonstration by the Crew,
Causes the Outlaws to
Flee With a Single Bag
of Specie as Their Loot.

DENVER, Colo. June S.-Denver and
Rio Crande passenger train No. 5,
westbound from Denver, was held up
by five masked men three miles west
of Parachute, a small fruit station
midway between Grand Junction and
Glenwood Springs. One sealed bag
containing specie was taken from the
express safe, which was dynamited.
The express car was badly wrecked by
dynamite, but the robbers were forced
TO take to the mountains before they
could gather up the valuables in the
car.
Sheriff w. c. Struthers and Deputy
Sheriff D. NJ. Hardy OF Grand Junction
are now on the trail of the robbers with
a posse of farmers and rapchers. who
were quickly summoned from the vi
cinity of Grand Junction. Sheriff Frank
Adams, with another posse from Glen
wood Springs, is searching the sur
rounding country.
When the train reached point three
miles west of Parachute last night two
masked men craWled over the tender
Of the engine. They placed sixshooters
to the head of Engineer Allison and his
fireman and demanded that the train
be stopped. Three men were waiting
on the tender, and as the train stopped
they quickly ran back and uncoupled
the express and baggage cars. These
cars. with the engine, were run two
miles farther west.
BRAVERY OF MESSENGER.
The members of the train crew were
ordered to remain with the passenger
coaches. When the point selected for
the gdynamiting of the express car was
reached the engineer and firemen were
ordered down. One of the robbers COW
cred them with two siXshOoters. The
remainder of the gang went to the ex
press car.
Messenger D. NJ. Shea of this city re-
fused to open the car and piled bag
gage up against the door. The robbers
placed a stick of dynamite at the side
door Of the car The entire door was
blown away with a terrible crash. A
half dozen trunks which had been piled
up against the door were demolished
and their burning contents scattered
over the car.
The great iron combination safe
was the only one in the car. The
robbers showed that they were con-
versant with conditions on the road,

WEST HAVEN OPPOSITION.


 Property Owners Against Annexation
 to City.
 Fearful lest the plan of the New Ha- ven Chamber Of Commerce to annex the borough of West Haven to this city be successful in the next legislature, some of the leading property owners of the borough have begun canvas to find out, if possible. how many of the citizens of the borough favor the an- nexation proposition and to work up an opposition to the plan.
 West HaYen's annexation to New Haven would be like cutting the heart out of Orange, and do not believe that any legislature would favor the plan" !" one of these men said. Why, the town would go bankrupt if West Haven was taken from it, and would not be worth a dot on the map of the state. It would mean heavier taxation for the property owners of the borough, and other bur- dens which they do not at this time have to assume. Consequently, there is strong opposition to the plan. and this opposition will be carried as far as the New Haven packers of the project carry their scheme. even to the Iegisla- turc."

SNOW DRIFTS BLOCKED ROADS.
 East Cornwall, Nov. 29.-The snow of November 13 and 14 filled the cross loads with drifts. but the authorities
 the several towns made no efforts to pave them opened. The main road from East Cornwall to Goshen was in- bassable, and as MT. Blake had agreed o see that the road ws open for his guests, he with mnn and team spent a large portion of Friday in shoveling the Toad from Archibald Bennett's in West Goshen to Thomas Cahtlrs at Bunker Hill. Papers are speaking of good 7oads TOT the farmers and the state and towns pay a good sum to make roads, End yet in many cases the roads cannot pe used at all during the winter nonths. In olden times. after big torm in winter, the neighbors all turned out and the roads were opened, Ind when they filled again they were
 pened again.

nsrNRDAl,s STOCK MARKEr.
Interest Maintained -- Another Large
 Days Business.

: - T g !.
 New York, Nov. 29.-Speculative in terest was well maintained in to-day's stock market and another large days business was transacted. There were points of aggressive strength, and these included some of the influential rail- road stocks. But the greater part of the advances of the day were among stocks of less credit and sharp reactions were suffered by recent influential lead- CTS of the advance, This was notably true of the great southern trunk line stocks and Colorado Fuel, which made such sharp advances yesterday, and also of United States Steel preferred. United States Steel common showed good resistance in the reactionary periods of the market. At one time during the day the reaction was fairly comprehensive and prices were we'll be- low yesterdays closing level. For the most part the movement was constant. ly irregular, sharp advances and dull, sagging movements occurring at the same time. e. '-., The putting out of short lines on the general reaction seemed to afford a ba- sis for the later rally, which also be- came fairly general. The rise in some of the obscurer stocks was sensational and the lack of explanation for them in any news developments aroused sus- picion of a manipulative origin. Much the most influential movement in sus- taining the rest of the market by sym pathy was that in the trunk line stocks, New York Central rising we'll above 140 on an unusually large absorption. The demand for Pennsylvania was also on an important scale. The late strong rise in United States Steel followed the publication of a rulor that the corpor- aticn had secured an option on the Lackawanna Steel company. Readings good showing of October net earnings did not benefit the stock, and Erie was indifferent to reports of an equally good result to be disclosed by it's octo- ber statement. Canadian Pacific was hurt by its decrease in October net earnings. f
 Sterling exchange recovered and Lorl- don discounts rose, but the price on gold there was further marked down. The call money rate at the stock ex- change was forced as low as 2 per cent late in the day under free offerings, but
