Sacramento. Cal., Sept. 6.—The
east-bound overland train, which left
San Francisco at 8 o'clock this evening,
and was here at 8:40, was stopped
about six utiles west uf here by train-
robbers, who failed iu their purpose
through the killing of one of the gang
by a plucky engiueer. The traiu was
loaded with passengers en route to the
state fair, and it is said that the ex­
press oontained a large sum of mouey
consigned to a Sacramento bank.
The hold-up took place a abort dis­
tance from the place where the big
$50,000 robbery occurred two years
ago. The country is covered with w a­
ter for miles, with the exception of a
narrow strip over which #w agon road
runs to Woodland, and within an hour
after the train pulled into Saoramento
a force of detectives and a squad of
deputies were dispatched to the soeue.
Tonight the big passenger depot is a
scene of the greatest animation. Div­
ision Superintendent W right, who was
a passenger on the train, ia in his office
giving orders and awaiting news from
the men who have been sent to hunt
the robbers.
The Overland train left Daviaville
on time, with Engineer Edwin F. In­
galls and Fireman Patrick Burns in
the cab.
As tbe train approached
Webster, a man who had been conceal­
ed in the tender climbed quietly over
the pile of coal until he reached the
gangplank, when he suddenly leveled
a pistol at the engineer and ordered
him to throw up his hands. The en­
giueer did ao, aud the robber then told
him to slow dowD. This request was
also complied with, and when tbe train
was stopped, at a third order from the
robber, a masked man was seen clim b­
ing up the railroad embankmeut with
a guu iu his band. When the man
appeared, the robber on the engine com ­
manded the fireman to clim b down and
go with the masked robber. Tho fire­
man obeyed orders, and he and the
bandit walked back toward tbe express
car.
This left Engineer Ingalls aud the
other bandit alone, and Ingalls began
to think up a scheme whereby he could
turn the tables on his captor
Therob-
ber at first was very watchful, but a f­
ter a minute or more had elapsed, he
turned and looked back, with the evi­
dent intention of seeing what bad be­
come of his companion and the fireman.
This was ingall's chance and he
seized it. A loaded revolver was lying
in a box close to Ingall's side. Q tiok
as a flash he lifted the lid, and, seizing
the pistol, fired two shots at the rob­
ber. The bandit fell from tbe cab,
and the nervy engineer pulled wide the
throttle, and the train started to Sacra­
mento. Fireman Burns was left to his
fate, but when he heard the firing, he
suspected what was up, and jumped
onto the moving train. The masked
robber who was on the platform uf the
express jumped to the ground and dis­
appeared.
On arriving at Sacramento Engineer
Ingalls told bis story to Superintend­
ent Wright. After relating the par­
ticulars of the hold-up aud the depar­
ture of the firemau with tbe masked
robber, he said:
“ I noticed that the fellow who was
guarding me was rather nervous. He
would turn every oi ce in a while and
glanoe back to see bow things were
going along
Seeing that there might
be a chance fur me to get hold of my
revolver, which was in a box in the
cab, I determined to try it, and the
next time tie robber turned I opened
the box and got the pistol. 1 was not
a moment too soon, for just as he
looked around I fired twice.
The
muzzle of my pistol was uot more than
two feet from him when I pulled the
trigger, aud I am confident that I
struck him in the head and breast, and
certainly must have killed him. He
reeled forward aDd plunged out of tbe
cab, firing his pistol as he did so. Not
knowing how many there might be of
the robbers I determined to get away,
and within fifteen seconds after I had
shot the robber I had opened the throt­
tle and was on tbe way to Sacramento.
Fireman Burns said in telling his
story:
“ The robber ordered me to get down
off the engine and go with the masked
man. which I did. The masked man
then instructed me to go ahead, but
baited me at the express car. 'G et be­
tween there and uncouple,' said tbe
masked man in a business-like way. I
climbed up between the cars, bat just
then I beard two quick shots, and
after a few seconds, tbe train began to
move. I drew myself up on tbe bump­
ers and tbe robber, who had taken up
his position on the express car steps,
sprang off and it went on and left
h im ."
Later developments show that there
were but two highwaymen and tbat
they compelled two tramps whom they
met near the scene of tbe hold-up to
take part in it.
Chilicothe, Mo., Sept 8.— Casper
Ulmer, a wealthy retired farmer, aged
77, left here last Monday to attend tbe

Benton Harbor, Mich., Sept. 8.— The
most horrible holocaust, with the
greatest loss of life, known in this part
of the state occurred last night, when
Y ore’ s opera house took fire aud iu the
tight to save the building aud other
blocks adjoining, eleven firemeD, one
volunteer, met their fate at one time,
tbe deaths being instantaneous with
five of them. Six lived only a few
hours iu awful agony, while several
others met with seveie injuries.
During the evening, the play, “ A
Factory G irl,” had been given by local
talent, and the theater had closed but
half hour before the fire was discovered.
The building was filled from the
basement to the fourth floor with a
suffocating smoke, which hurst into
sheets of flame throughout tbe entire
aduience room,,before the fire depart­
ment could respond with a single
stream of water, there being some con ­
fusion at the ontset, ow ing to the lack
of book and ladder facilities, although
the local fire companies bad closed a
tw o days’ tournament, exhibiting great
skill in their work.
The St. Jospeh department was
called on for assistance.
They ap-
proaohed the building through au alley,
unloading ladders in tbe rear of the
building, and, while hoisting them,
the upper walls fell over without warn­
ing, coveriug the men. This was w it­
nessed by hundreds of spectators. Tbe
killed were as follows:
Frank Watson, St. Joseph, M ioh.;
leaves a widow.
John Hoffman,
Benton Harbor,
crashed into an unrecognizable mass;
leaves a widow and five children.
Thomas Kidd. Benton Harbor, un­
married; killed by live wires.
Frank Woodley, Benton Harbor,
killed by live wires; leaves a widow
and three children.
Ed. H. Hange, St. Joseph, drayman;
bead crushed.
Soott Rice, bellboy at Benton hotel,
skull fractured and internal injuries;
lived but a few minutes.
W ill Milieu, Benton Harbor; leaves
a w idow and seven children.
Louis Hoffman, Benton Harbor, head
smashed; leaves two small children.
Arthur C. H ill, o f St. Joseph, fore­
man of St. Joseph hose oompany; legs
broken, badly burned; lived one hour.
Frank Heaver, St. Joseph, leg broken,
badly cut aud burued; lived three
hours.
Robert Bofe, St. Joseph, burned and
internally injured; lived one hour.
The injured were: John A. Craw­
ford, Benton Harbor, ex-ohief of the
fire department, overcome by heat and
smoke; w ill recover.
W ill Fecund, St. Joseph, leg brnised.
Frank Woodley and Thomas Kidd
were on top of the adjoining buildings
with hose when they encountered live
eleotric wires, on whioh they were
hanging when found.
Policeman Charles Johnson narrow­
ly escaped, as falling bricka tore his
coat half off, while another officer was
protected by a telephone pole.
The work of removing tbe debris was
commenced at once, and those pinned
were removed in a few minntes. ex­
cept C. A. Hill, whose body was recov­
ered at 4 o'clock thia morning. It was
believed that several more bodies were
under the pile of bricks, and search
was continued until every doubt was
passed.
The cause of the fire is a mystery.
Guy Prescott is under arrest, as being
one who knows of the origin. When
asked by the reporter of the cause, he
remarked that he “ was uot going to
give anybody aw ay.”
The building was erected seven
years ago at a cost of $40,000. A two-
story brick block owned hy Joseph
Frick, whioh stood adjoining, was de­
molished by the falling walla, whioh
crashed through to the basement w ith­
out apparent resistance. The opera-
house block was occupied by the Even­
ing News, 8. Austin's bakery, J Bern­
stein, clothing; John Holmes, barber­
shop, and a fruit packing firm in the
baaemeut. The Frick block was used
for a retail boot and shoe business, and
a dwelling. The building and stocks
destroyed, with losses, w ill aggregate
about $80,000.
A high wind prevailed,which caused
the walls to fall outward, and adjoin­
ing buildings were saved only witn the
greatest efforts. A large quantity of
stage scenery, belonging to Henry
Emery, of the Katie Putnam oompany,
J. A. Simon, and W. C. Hocka, was
destroyed, without insurance.
Thousands witnessed the conflagra­
tion, and with difficulty tbe crowds
were kept out of danger's way. tfThe
work of clearing up tbe streets was
continued throughout the day.

S t Louis, Sept. 7.— The vast estates
of Prince Lobanoff-Rostovsky w ill pass
to a man w ho sixteen years ago came
to St. Louis as a Russian exile, hunted
and proscribed. This man disappeared
a year later, taking with him the d i­
vorced w ife of Professor Jules Belin, a
teacher of French.
Since then be has
been heard from but ouce, and then it
waa alleged he had gone to New York,
and there had beeu sentenced to prison.
The exile is the nephew o f the late
prince, his name is Lobanoff, and be­
fore his exile he was judge of the
crim iual court iu Odessa. He was a
Nihilist, aud when this fact was dis­
covered, he tied for his life. He first
stopped in Paris, aud from there came
to St. Louis, bringing a letter of recom­
mendation to Dr. Cbartier.
On the advice of Dr. Chattier he dis­
carded the name of Lobanoff aud as­
sumed the name of Lenord. Through
Dr. Cbartier's influence Lenord secured
a position in a jewelry atore, taking np
his abode in a i oarding-bouae kept by
Mme. Recape, the divoroed w ife of
Professor Belin. A fter a few mouths
Lenord determined to marry Mme.
Recape. Ow ing to Dr. Chartier's ob­
jections, he eloped with her a year a f­

Pittsburg, Sept. 7.— Great interest
is mauiiested here over the discovery
of a number o f implements in a mound
at M cKee’ s Rocks, whioh ia being ex­
cavated for scientific purposes. Tbe
mound is believed to have been built
by the ancient mound builders nud the
implements found today pi >oe the
mound on a par with thoae that have
been explored elsewhere. Tbe work is
being done nnder the direction of
Thomas Harper, of this city, who be­
lieves that the specimens found here
are not less than 1,000 years old, and
prove that they were made by the most
ancient people that inhabited this
country. Bone needles or awls were
included in the find and Mr. Harper
says they can be partially restored.
A tomaahwk, whioh he regards as
not being lees than 1,000 yars old, was
also found. The name kind o f weapons
are found on the British isles. Mr.
Harper says that the weapon is Bimilar
to the halnitb, whioh was used for
striking. It is made, o f gneiss. He
oonsiders that an extraordinary dis­
covery. The bone implement or flaker
is regarded by Mr. Harper as possessing
unusual interest. This is the imple­
ment w ith whioh primitive men, as
w ell as ancient people, made flint in­
struments.
Mr. Harper maintains
that this last find proves that the
monnd waa built by mound builders.
Sinoe this monnd was opened a
