A targe Deal.
St., Louis, Dec. 1. A' bold and suc
cessful train robbery took place, on the
St. Louis & San Francisco road near
Glendale station, about ten miles from
this city, -shortly before 10 o'clock last
night. The robbers had their plans
well laid and they escaped with money
and valuables amounting to $20,000', and
possibly more. The Adams express
company is the victim and from the
manner in which the robbers used dyna
mite with fearful effect, both on the car
and Messenger Mullen, who had charge
of the car, showed them to be in earnest.
Six . men narticipated in the robbery.
When the train reached OWOrhard
it is" supposed . four men boarded
the express car. The other two are be
lieved - to have boarded the train at
Glendale. Shortly after the train left
Glendale two menrmade their way to the
engine cab and placing their revalyers
at the head of the engineer and fireman,
compelled them to stop the train. The
engineer complied with alacrity. ' As
soon as the train came to a standstill' the
engineer and fireman were taken to the
express car. .In the meantime the ex
press messenger who suspected some
thing wrong, closed and bolted the doors
of the car and stood inside ready to de
fend the property intrusted to his care.
but the odds were against him, and. the
poor fellow now lies in a dangerous con
dition at North Springfield. A stick of
dynamite was. placed against the car and
exploded. - Jn another minute another
stick exploded at the car door; which
fell in. The robbers then entered the
car. Everything in the safe was taken,
and also the messenger's gold watch and
chain. . The statements as to the
amounts secured 'vary . widely, ranging
from $20,000 to $50,000, but nothing def
inite is yet known. '- While two robbers
were doing the work at the express car,
the other four bandits kept the remain
der of the train crew. And passengers
in a state of terror, a constant fusilade
being kept up the while. . Fourteen
shots were fired into the smoking car,
but fortunately no one was hit. A large
posse are making a search for the
bandits.
Two of a Kind. " .
St. Louis, Dec. 1. It has just been
discovered by the Concordia publishing
company, i printers of religious books,
that Martin C. Barthel and Martin H
R. Barthel, father and son. two of its
most trusted employes, are short in
their accounts. Their speculations are
said to be very heavy. .The falsification
has been going on for a number of years.
Martin C., who has been manager of the
concern for twenty-five years, admitted
his guilt, turning over $50,000 in real es
tate to cover the shortage. . The son has
disappeared and no trace of him can be
found. The officers of the company say
the property turned over more than -secures
the present defalcation.'

Rutland, Vt., Dec' 1. In Castleton,

: There Must he Moderation.
Paris,- Nov. 30. It is believed
many quarters that the prosecution -
the archbishop of Aix was a false step on
the part of the government. - Le Gaulois
today says the minister of foreign affairs,
in an interview with the papal, nuncio at
fans, intimated that unless the Vatican
advised moderation on the part of certain
French bishops, the government would
feel inclined to cease oppoeing the sepa
ration of church and state.
A Good Impression Produced-
St. Petersburg, Nov. .30. The Rus
sian newspapers testify to the excellent
impression produced by the German
chancellor's speech in : the' reichstag.
Nbvosti eays the speech deprives . the
hostile articles in German-Russophobe
of all their importance. The visit of De
Geirs, says Novosti, had a novel result
in dispelling the clouds between Ger
many and Russia and France. . ,

Bnssls Will not Sell Horses. ' .
Berlin, Nov. 30. The Post of this city
is authority for the statement that the
Russian government is about to issue a
decree prohibiting the exportation of
horses from Russia. In some quarters
this intention of the czar's government
is looked upon as an additional evidence
that Russia is preparing for hostilities
in the near future.

dent of the CJA-onicle says the pope dis
approves of the republican movement in
France, arising from the prosecution of
the archbishop of Aix, and has instructed
the papal nuncio in Paris to try and
suppress the agitation. ' . "'
Bnssia Is Buying Silver.
London, Nov. 39. The Times, in a

Russia is buying silver is true, but only
enough wjll be bought to provide a- new
subsidiary coinage to replace the nickel

A Newark Thief Miscalculates his Abil

Hard Blew.
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 30. There
is much disappointment because of the
public . announcement that Mr. Beals
will not prosecute tne abductor of his ,
child. He says he will keep his word
that he gave to ask no questions if his
child were safely returned. The police
argue that the promise' related only to
the person who returned the child, and
should not prevent him from doing all in
his power to convict the man and woman
known, as Mr. and Mrs. King, now
under arrest for the crime. It is 'earned
for the first time today that when Mr.
Beals went to the postofflce on Friday
afternoon in response to a note; presum
ably from one of the' kidnappers, he met
there the man who subsequently deliv
ered the stolen child. There was no
chance for a private interview, however,
because of the presence of so many anx
ious and inquiring friends. The. man
gave the name of Durange Ralston. His
role in the conspiracy was that of a de- ;
tective. According to the descriptions
furnished by those who saw him and
heard him talk, he was not an ordinary -crook.
He was of good address and
showed considerable feeling for the ner
vous condition of one of the women.
Late last night a Pinkerton detective
said that the mysterious Ralston was
Edward S. Sippole, formerly of Denver,
and a brother of the man calling himself
King, and that he is still in the city,
and has employed attorneys to defend
the prisoners

Natives are equally divided on the reci

jority, oppose it.
Money is very tight.
Bather Light Winter Attire.
Tkenton, N. J., Nov. 30. Henry
Smith, the Newark thief, who escaped -from
the state . prison last week by cut- -ting
his way through the roof, is now in
Dock island, sporting around fa his1 '
under-clothes and a blanket. When he '
took his early morning departure be left-
his prison stripes behind, hoping to &eg -or
steal a suit of clothes. Early Satof:--day
morning a farmer named Goss, liv
ing on the New Jersey shore, four miles
above Bordentown. discovered Smith on
the island asleep. The convict told Goss
that he was wanted, but declared that
he would' not be taken alive. A party of
Trenton hunters on the island were no
tified, ' and they decided that they did
not want the trouble of caging the'des
parado. No reward has peen offered for
Smith's capture.
