P. until they were close up, when they drew their pistols and ordered him to throw up his hands. They then struck him and knocked him down. He attempted to cross the train, but when on the platform they knocked him against the door of the coach. The noise attracted the attention of Brakeman Penn, who, upon stepping to the platform, snatched the guard’s ' pistol and fired into the gang of rob bers. The robbers returned the fire shooting Penn three times in the body, mortally wounding him. After the shooting the robbers compelled the guard to uncouple the express - car from the next coach and ordered _ the engineer to run ahead to a point distant, where the express car was robbed. Only abont $42 was obtain- ' ed by the robbers. No arrests have - yet been made, but it is believed that Hood’s Sarsaparilla does cure serofula, salt rheum and other affee tions arising from impure state or low condition of the blood.

Apart from the picturesque interest which such a trip possesses it will serve a useful purpose in showing the de-| velopment of transportation facili- | ties of the world and also in dem- onstrating that an unprotected Woman can travel around the globe : with perfect safety. Miss Bly is provided with tickets for her en-, tire trip, and they were all purchas- ed in New York City, which is xn- other interesting fact.
