sador Wilson was instructed by the

the American mines at Nacozari to
arm the foreigners at that place
against the attacks of the rebels. The
guns and ammunition will cross the
border at Nogales, Ariz., and will be

other members Of a gang which is be-
lieved to have been responsible for

Edwards is in a precarious condl-
ton and attendants al the hospital de-
clared it doubtful whether he would
recover from his injuries.
After Edwards had completed
round of the coaches he went forward
to the engine Caught off his guard
for an instant. he was hit by Engineer
Baer, who welded a heavy brass
torch. The bandit dropped, uncon-
scious.
Following so closely upon the at
tempted robbery Of the Cincinnati
southbound passenger train on the
same road at almost the same spot
the night previous, the work of Ed
wards is considered most daring.
Edwards first crawled aboard the
engine not far from New Orleans ana
covered Engineer Baer and the fire
nan with two revolvers. He carried
a small valise. in which he had dyna-
mite and nitroglycerin. The train
was stopped, and with the engineer
and fireman preceding him at the
point of a revolver Edwards rif1ed the
mail car of all registered mail and
then relieved the male passengers in
five Pullmans and a club car Of their
valuables. He did not offer to modest
women. He secured several hundred
dollars, according TO the police; then
marched the engineer and fireman
back to the engine and ordered them
to proceed.
After riding on the engine for about
% miles Engineer Baer caught Ed
wards off his guard and struck him a
terrific blow on the head with brass
torch, fracturing the base of the skull.
Edwards fired one shot as he fell. 1t

rain blows with the torch until he had
the bandit unconscious.
When the train reached Bay st.
Louis, Miss, the robber was taken off
and placed in the charge of the rail
road surgeon until police officers and
detectives from New Orleans arrived
there in a special train. Although Ed
wards was unconscious at intervals
throughout the night, he gave the po-
lice valuable information concerning
his alleged partners

fateful plunge. He was riding high
on the back OF the track when the
wheel of his heavy machine swerved
and struck the upper rail He was
pitched headfirst 80 feet into the air.
He must have been instantly killed in
the collision. His body was shapeless
from broken bones when it was picked
up almost at the feet of his wife, seat
ed among men and boys in the bleach
eTs.
Albright was thrown head first in
the other direction. into the Enclosure

bank and struck him. He was picked
up for dead but he lived in an uncon-
sciOus state for more than two hours
after removal to a hospital. He finally
succumbed to hemorrhage of the
lungs.
The spectators injured were mainly
the men and boys who were leaning
over the rail yelling encouragement to
the riders when Hasha came tearing
into their midst. Some of the specta'
tors were hurled high into the air and
landed in the laps of those seated be-
hind. A scene of panic among the
spectators generally followed the trag'
edy.

Footpads' Novel Methods.

Warsaw.-Foodpads who infest the
suburbs Of this town have hit on
novel way of robbing peasants carts
as they drive in laden with provisions.
The peasant drives while his wife
sits at the back of the cart to keep
guard. The thieves jump onto the
cart, put their arms round the wom-
ans waist, kiss her and hustle her
off with endearing terms. Off runs the
outraged husband to catch his wife
Meanwhile the Don Juan's accom-.
plices take away the provisions and
disappear into the forest.
When the peasant finally gets back
his wife he finds he has been robbed
Of all but the cart. The trick is prac
ticed with great success.

FIND FAMED WARRIORS BODY
Morosini in Venetian Church
Mummy Also Found.

Venice-It always pays to scrape
the walls of the churches and palaces
of Italy, for almost invariably under
the uninteresting outer wash are
found frescoes of more or less value.
This is just what happened here in
the Church of SITS. John and Paul,
where some frescoed figures of the
evangelists have come to light near
the high altar.
What is. perhaps, more interesting
to the ordinary traveller is the dis
covery in the same church at the
other side of the high altar of Gothic
sarcophagus of the fourteenth cen
fury in which mummified body was
lying on the back with the head turn
ed to the right. One of the feet was
detached from the body. From the
description it was learned that these
were the remains of Andrea Morosini
a famous warrior and member of
the family which gave four doges to
Venice. The remains have been left
