BULLION
 FUR PENNIES Error of a Pennsylvania
 Train R0bber BUT NOT EMPTY HANDED
Did He Leave the Scene of His Enterprise; a Bold Hold-Up by Bandit on the Eastern Slope of the Alleghenies.

Lewiston, Pa, Aug. 31.-An auda- cious and startling hoId-up of a rail- road train occurred on the eastern slope of the Allegheny mountains to- day. A lone highwayman with a dy- namite cartridge stopped a Pennsylva- mia railroad express train and at the point of a revolver compelled the crew to carry thousands of dollars from an express car to a spot in a wilderness. When the conductor attempted to in terfere he was shot in the hand and the bandit escaped.
 In the darkness, however. he mis- took a bag containing 10000 new Lin coin pennies for gold coin and stag gered away, leaving the real gold bull lion to be recovered.
 When the news of the robbery reach ed the railroad and express company officials they ordered every available detective from the east and west to come to the scene. Bloodhounds were also put on the track of the robber. but up to a late hour tonight no trace of the man had been found.
 After the robbery the bandit calmly ordered the crew back on the train and told them to pull out, leaving the bull lion beside the track. It was recovered later by posse sent on a special train. It is reported tonight that in addition to the pennies several thousand dollars in currency was missing, but the ex- press company officials refused 10 an- nounce the exact amount of the loss.
 Agent Hamaker of Lewistown sent a safe to the scene of the robbery to recover six bags of pennies on which the seals had not been broken, but which had been cut open with a knife to ascertain the contents and had been abandoned by the robber in disgust.
 With practically every detective and officer employed by the railroad, assisted by special detectives of the Adams Express company. engaged in the search for the bandit. the pre- diction is made tonight by Pennsyl- vania railroad officials that his ap- prehension is but a few hours off.
 The robber was traced a short dis tance up the mountain side, cur rency dropped in the flight marking his trail. The highwayman, it is said, took $5.OOO in bullion and s2O0 in pennies from the car. All this has been found along the trail except $65.

San Francisco, Aug. 31-Immediate- ly after the arrival from Seattle to- day, the eight armored cruisers of the Pacific fleet, under command of Rear Admiral Sebree, began prepara- tions for the five-months' voyage on which they will start next Sunday and which will take them to Homo lulu, Manila, Japan and China before their return to the Pacific coast.
 Battle practice in Philippine waters will be the most important feature of the voyage, according to Admiral Sebree Cruising at high speed is another feature of the trip. The cruisers came down the coast at an eighteen-knot gait and will maintain the same speed to Honolulu.
