1--WE Attempts to Hold Up the
Same Train in Maryland.
One Bandit Tried to Break Down the
Express Car Door and Was Fired
Upon by the Messenger-The
Desperadoes Escaped.

Philadelphia, Nov. ACCORDING to
the crew of the Philadelphia and New
York express train on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad, which left Washington
at $50 Sunday night, two unsuccess-
fui attempts were made to hold up
the train at Havre de Grace and Per-
ryvilies in Maryland, by two men, one
of whom was Negro. The men es-
capped.
1t is believed the men boarded the
train at Baltimore Just as the train
approached the long bridge at Havre
de Grace, the express messenger, T.
Herbert Carter, saw a white man pry-
ing at the front door of the express
car with an iron bar. A moment aft
er he discovered this the man thrust
a revolver through a crevice which the
bar had made. He ordered the mes
senger to let him in, but the messen-
ger replied by firing his revolver and
pulling the signal cord for the engi-
neeg to stop.
When the train came to a stop Con-
ductsr Sibley ran forward to the en-
CINE and there found a colored man
standing on the coal in the tender with
a revolver in hand. He ordered the
man down. At first he refused, but
after a short argument he left the
tender. Going back to the express car
he was told by the messenger what
had happened, but the white man had
disappeared
The train resumed its journey and
when it reached Perryville, on the
farther side of the bridge, the two
men again appeared. one on the ten
der and the other on the front plat
form of the express car which was
Immediately behind the tender The
train was again promptly stopped, but
before the two men could be captured
they disappeared in the darkness.
At Wilmington, Del, the conductor
reported the matter and kilograms
were sent to Baltimore, Perryville,
HavTe de Grace and other points along
the line to intercept the men, if posi-
ble- The express car was carrying a
large quantity of produce in crates
and boxes, but under some burlap bags
were three small iron safes in which
there was valuables.
The conductor says the engineer
and fireman of the locomotive saw the
Negpe on the tender, but as they were
not armed they could do nothing

TT lobrara Visited
By Destructive Fire
K Company's Quarters Ut
terly Destroyed by Fire
Sunday Night.
Ere Started in Kitchen, Prob.
ably From Defective Flue.
No Lives Lost.

During the severe cold wave
which was accompanied by high
wind, last Sunday night, fire broke
out in K company's quarters at
Fort Niobrara and completely de-
stroyed them, leaving only the
adobe walls standing.
The fire which started in the
kitchen had gained considerable
Roadway before it was discovered
which was about IL o'clock. The
alarm was Immediately sounded
and the Post fire company soon
had the hose cart run to the scene
Of the fire, but owing to the intense
cold and the fire plug being froz-
en- it was some time before water
could be thrown onto the flames.
K company's quarters were in
about the middle of the row, and
the wind being from the north
probably saved the other quarters
east of it. From what we can
learn the fire had almost envelop-
ed the building before it was dis
covered and the men had no chance
to save anything but themselves
and what few clothes they could
pick up as they ran pelI nell from
the burning building. Many lost
all their clothes and bedding.
No cause for the fire has been
ascertained but the general opin-
ion is the that it was caused by a
defective flue.
The men of X company have
been ssigned to the several differ
ent companies at the Fort, and
owing to the crowded condition
existing there now, will probably
be transferred to some other fort
while the demolished quarters are
being rebuilt.
