IRON MOUNTAIN TRAIN ROBBERY
Bat Little of Value SecuradFacts
the Attempted Queen & Crescent
Train Robbery.
of
St. Louis, March 28. The California
express on tbe Iron Mountain railroad,
which was held up by two masked rob
bers one mile this side ot Williamsville,
Mo., at midnight lapt night, reached
here this forenoon, several hours late.
- According to the trainmen, the hold-Dp
was one of the most daring since the
time of tbe Jesse James gang.
The two men took complete possession
of tbe train. Their arms consisted of
Winchesters and Colt's revolvers. Con
ductor Webb said : "One of .the men
' covered me with a gun and ordered me
to throw up my bands. ' He grabbed my
watch, and ran his hands down my
pockets and got about $7 I had collected
in fares. They forced the engineer to
run' up the track about half a mile with
the express car, after uncoupling it from
the train. The messenger was com
pelled to open the larger safe or they
threatened to kill him. They ransacked
local packages, but Messenger Early
thinks they got nothing of value, as the
money was locked in the larger safe at
Poplar Bluffs. Their' work done, the
highwaymen got over the fence and
made for tbe woods.'
How It was Done.
Louisville, Ky., March 28. The in
side facts of the attempted hold-up of
the Queen & Crescent No. 3, near Green
wood, yesterday morning, are told in a
special to the Evening Post, as follows :
"The plot to hold up the train had
been hatching for weeks. The road and
express authorities managed to, get a de
tective into the confidence of the robbers,
who stayed with them until about 2
o'clock. The train was due at the ren
dezvous at 3 o'clock, and the local detec
tive made an excuse to go to Greenwood
station, a mile away and get the crowd
something to eat. When the train
palled into Greenwood, Detectives Grif
fin and Eddy were notified by Frazer,
tbe local detective, that the game was
ready. The engineer was to give a
special signal or whistle if the train was
halted by bandits.
"Promptly on the spot, one mile south
of Greenwood, in the dark shadow of a
tunnel cut, tbe signal came from the en
gineer. The train wheels had not
stopped ere Griffin, Eddy and Frazer
sprang from the train. Every one fairly
in sight went down under the rapid fire
of the detectives. The robbers were so
dazed that their reply fire was wild, and
in & fow rmnnfpfl nil waa nvpr'
"The two men killed were Jerry Mor
row aged 50, and T. Morrow, 16v desper
ate characters, living in the vicinity.
The tramp, Martin, the third man shot
was not thought to have any connection
with the affair."
Were Hard Citizens.
Chattanooga, March 28. Jerry Mor
row and bis son Tom, the trainrobbers,
killed yesterday near Greenwood, Ky.,
lived about 14 miles from Greenwood,
and were tough characters. The third
man found wounded was William Mar
tin, of Allegheny, Pa. H. M. Brown,
the mail agent, says he saw one of the
robbers shoot Martin.
local politicians that the early dissolu
tion of the Dominion parliament may be
ot tbe possible results of tbe adjourn
ment of the legislature.
What Great Britain Meant.
. New York, March 28. A special to
the Tribune from Washington says : It
is said by those who are in position to
be well informed as to the intention of
the British foreign office that the re
presentations - which this government
has made to Great Britain through Am
bassador Bayard in regard to the British
ultimatum to Nicaragua, are a miscon
ception of the text of that document.
Tbe seven words in the ultimatum to
which President Cleveland and his cabi
net have attached so much importance
in the measure, were those which provid'
ed that the third member of the arbitra
tion commission should be "not' a citi
zen of any American state." This phrase
was tbought to be an explicit declaration
by England that she declined to recog
nize any force in the Monroe doctrine.
and to be a gratuitous reflection upon
the United States.
The intention to cast any reflection
upon the United States was promptly
disavowed by Lord Kimberly through
one of his under secretaries, and it is
said that the meaning of that unfortu
bate sentence and the intentions of the
British government have been miscon
strued. As ordinarily employed and
understood by the British foreign office.
the pharse "American states" is limited
in application to the smaller republics ot
Central and South America... It
republics which Great Britain desired to
exclude from having a casting vote,
While technically and literally the
United States forms one bf the "Ameri
can states'," it is. explained that the
English foreign office never classifies
this government and its people with the
Spanish and Portuguese-speaking South
and Central American countries, conse
quently it is asserted that the words
"Not a citizen of any American state'
do not bar out tbe United States accord'
ing to the view of the British foreign
office.
Viewed in this light a clearer under
standing is given to the denial on the
part of Great Britain that any reflection
upon the United States was intended in
the propostion above referred to. It
has been said by a high diplomatic
authority that if the United States were
excluded from participation in the arbi
tration such an act would be not only
undiplomatic but offensive to a country
with which Great Britain maintains
freindly relations.
Cowardice
A Murderer's
Exhibition of
in Court.
Manitoba Public Schools.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, March 28.
There was a decided sensation at the
close of the sitting last night, when the
government announced that it would
adjourn the legislature Friday until May.
This means the remedial order cannot
be discussed before adjournment. Tbe
government says this action was taken
to gain tftae to consider the legal points
involved.
Prendergast, tbe leader of the French
Catholic party, pronounces it a scheme
to force the Dominion government to
take immediate action.
. Premier Greenway says the remedial
order is too ' important a matter to be
dealt with precipitately - by . the house,
and he therefore deemed it wise to take
ample time to become thoroughly
acquainted with the whole range of the
subject. The government hap already
submitted to eminent constitutional
lawyer's some of the chief points affect
ing the jurisdiction of the legislature re-'
garding schools. It is thought by some
Chicago, March 28. Sidney Cooper, a
colored murderer, and his wife and tw
children, created an exciting scene this
morning in Judge Sear's court room at
the .beginning of the trial. When as
sistant State's attorney Pearson, who
had just finished the trial of Maggie Til
ler, condemned to death, asked tbe first
venireman, "have you any scruples
against the inflection of the death pen
alty?" the citizen answered, "No."
4t the mention of the word, "death,"
the prisoner, who had shot George
Adams, another colored man, in cold'
blood over the question of a dollar, col
lapsed in his chair as if struck dead
He fell back unconscious and while the
bailiffs tried to restore tbe terror-stricken
wretch, his wife and children " became
wildly hysterical at the sight. The
ecreaming woman was removed to an
ante-room by order of the judge. The
hysteria spread to some of the spectators
and for a moment pandemonium seemed
imminent. All through the examina
tion the murderers face was blanched
with fear.
McKlnley's Western Tour.
Columbus, O., March 26. Governor
McKinley's Southern trip will be follow
ed soon by a "swing around the circle"
through the West. William M. Hahn,
member of the national republican com
mittee for Ohio, and Governor McKin
ley's commisssoner of insurance, is now
in the West, where he has been for sev
eral weeks, making arrangements for the
governor's visit. It is now arranged for
the governor to leave Columbus about
June 1. The trip will include most of
the Western states and extend to the
Pacific coast. In view of this fact it is
generally doubted here that. Governor
McKinley has put himself on record, as
reported from Thomasville, Ga., as
being unalterably opposed to free coin
age of silver. He would hardly takes
stand, they say, against the unmistak
able wishes of tbe people, among whom
he intended .to go immediately in the
furtherence of his interests in- the presi
dential nomination'.
Arms for Insurgents.
Washington, March 28. The govern
ment has been informed that three ship
ments of arms have been made to Cuban
insurgents from tbe United States with
in the past three weeks. In one case
arms were sent from Philadelphia to
Savanna and transferred from that point
to Santiago de Cuba, the hotbed of the
insurgents, by means of fishing smack's.
The government is doing all it can to
prevent these shipments, but it is said
they are being constantly made. Gen
eral Compos' appointment as captain
general of Cuba is viewed here as mean
ing a vigorous campaign against? in
surgents. ' ;

ner Miller, and other chief officials of th

afterwards saw Gresham, with whom it
is said they discussed the effect Eng
land's ultimatum would have on their
interests in Central America. Senator
Miller subsequently said he was con
fident American interests would not be
allowed to suffer. He had come to
Washington in regard to the appoint
ment of the board of engineers, "for the
purpose of ascertaining the feasibility,
permanence and cost of the construction
of the canal."
Miller said the engineers, he under
stood, would be selected at once.
The Nicaraguan minister bad a con'
ference with Gresham today regarding
England's ultimatum, but refsued to
give anything about the matter to press,

swallow tailed coat, a Fedora hat, plaited
shirt, piccadilly collar four-in-hand tie,
and a pair of patent leather tooth pick
shoes, being the full dress suit of some
Eastern dude, and contributed to the
sufferers ot Nebraska."
