Six Masked Men.
THEY ESCAPED WITH THE BOOTY
Two Men Killed by an Explosion Cali
' prnla Railroad Station Bobbed
Sheriff Fatally Wounded.
Bakeb City, Nov. 27. One of the
moat daring robberies ever committed in
this section occurred in this city this
morning at 2 o'clock. A party of six
. men, heavily masked, and armed with
rifles, shotguns and revolvers, entered
the Hotel Warshauer. The employes
and bystanders were placed under cover
of arms, while two of the robberies re
lieved the saloon bar till and faro game
of the cash, amounting to about $1,160,
which they placed in a sack and depart
ed. ' A fire alarm was turned in by an
officer a few moments after the robbery,
which drew out a large number of peo-
pie, but the robbers had made good
their escape, and 'were sot to be seen.
There is no clew whatever.
A Station Agent Robbed.
Sacramento, Gal., Nov. . 27. News
has just been received of a daring rob
bery committed at Wheatland, at au
early hour this morning, and the rail
road is again the sufferer. As usual,
Manager Coons went to bed about 10
o'clock, - leaving the' office in charge of
his assistant, G. H. Barnes, who, after
seeing that all the back doors and win
dows were securely locked, settled him
self to work at a desk in the front office.
To the right of his desk is the front door,
which is kepjt . open all night. . . The
south-bound Oregon express is due at
Wheatland at 4 :15 a.m. It was about
twenty - minutes of train time when
Barnes, hearing some one' enter, glanced
up to find himself -confronted with two
men armed with revolvers. The men
were closely muffled around the neck
and chin, and wore masks drawn over
their, faces. Before the startled agent
could ' speak, he was ordered by one of
the men to open the money drawer.
This he did, and while one of the rob
bers emptied its contents, $10.35, into
his pocket, the other kept him covered
with a revolver. He was then told to
open the safe, and be quick about it.
He replied that he . did not know the
combination, as he . was merely the as
sistant, and it had not been made
known to him. The robbers at first re
fused to believe this, but as Barnes in
sisted in the face of numerous threats,
and the train was nearly due, the rob
bers beat a retreat. . No Booner had Jhey
disappeared than he armed himself,
awoke the agent and. gave the alarm.
When the train arrived the two agents
boarded it and rode about a mile down
the road. The' train was then stopped
and immediately surrounded, in the
hope of catching the .robbers, who, it
was thought, might have been trying to
escape on the break beams. The plan
did not work ; and telegrams have been
sent to all surrounding towns to look
ont for i the two men. A number of
Wells-Fargo and railroad detectives
have left for the scene of the crime.
Probably Scared to Death.
Hartford, Nov. 27. Lizzie Carey and
Carrie Day e, orphans 11 and 12 years

on a farm owned by one Terry. They
. played "hide and seek" all the way to
New Ingleton, and. were seen to enter, a
piece of woods near New Briton which
in parts IB very dense. Several farmers
t knowing it to be a dangerous place, fol
4 lowed them, in order to save them from
getting lost. The little girls saw their
pursuers at a distance and were afraid of
them, and rah screaming into the thicker
parts of the woods, They were too quick
for the farmers and disappeared entirely.
Last night the male residents in the
vicinity banded themselves together and
instituted a search.; Twelve men, each
carrying a lantern, divided themselves
into groups of three, and entering the
' woods at the four points of the compass,
yelled and whistled as they made their

STEPS ON RAILWAY CARS.
An Authority Thinks They Are .Useless
and Should Be Abolished.
When the first primitive railway was
built in this country, says the Railway
Age', somebody thought it would be
cheaper and handier to attach, steps so
that passengers could get on or off
whenever the train might accommodat
ingly ; stop, without the trouble of
drawing up to a platform, and the fash
ion once started has been followed un
til now there are in the United States
not far from thirty-five thousand cars,
passenger, bapjrag-e, mail and express,
which are dragging around four
times as many one hundred aDd forty
thousand sets of steps that are costly
to build and maintain, are a constant
source of danger, discomfort and delay,
and serve no purpose that could not
much better be accomplished by hav
ing station platforms at a level with
the platforms of the carsThe elevated
railways in New York first demon
strated the needlessness of steps for
cars on the American plan of having
end doors, as had from the first been
demonstrated on all European railways
where the doors open at the side.. The
Illinois- Central Railway company had
the enterprise to extend the "principle
of no steps to surface roads by build
ing special cars and high station
platforms for its world's fair train
service, with - the result of han
dling great- numbers of- passengers
with extraordinary celerity and safety,
and the same progressive management
is now preparing to abolish the use of
car steps in its extensive suburban train
service by elevating it3 station plat
forms. It has had the- principle in
highly successful operation for nearly
a year on its express suburban service, in
which are used ordinary day coaches,
the steps having been removed and the
platforms widened out, and if it were
building , new cars for that service it
would build them without steps. - For
remote stations, on its. local .-service
where it is not yet ready to provide
new station platforms it adopts the
simple device of having trap doors over
the steps, which can be thrown back
where the steps are to be used an ex
pedient that would facilitate the grad
ual adoption of the high station plat
form principle -on all roads, allowing
them to apply it at first only at the
principal stations.
A Community of Wives.
In Ashantee no man is ever allowed
to see one of the king's wives and
should he happen, through accident, to
get- a - glimpse of .one of the '"sacred
creatures" he is forthwith put to death.
The law of that country allows the
king to have three thousand three hun
dred and thirty-three "helpmeets" and
no more. These wives all live on two
long streets in .the city of Coomasie, the
Ashantee capital, the quarters occupied
by them being locally known by a
word signifying "heaven."
