i TWO TRAIN ROBBERIES. Both of Them in Texas and Both Un- sunccessfn Er Paso, Tex., Oct. 14.—The Galveston, Harrodsburg & San Antonio mail and ex- press, which left here this evening, was stopped four miles out of the city by three masked men, While two covered the engi- neer and fireman with their revolvers the third ran back to the mail car and threw a bomb against the door. The ex- plosion which followed shattered the door and the side of the car intg splinters. The agent was dazed and badly @ightened by the shock, but was uninjured. He recovered himself, however, and poured a_charge from a double-barrelled shotgun into the breast of the robber who had jumped into the car, kill- ing him instantly. The two on the engine, hearing the report, fled, the mail agent firing the remaining lond after them. The train then returned to El Paso and remained unti morning. SCORE ONE FOR ST. LOUS. Yho Browns Defoat the Detloit Club at Brooklyn Yesterday. 'TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE ATTEND. T'he League Club Received the Most , Favorably By the Audience— The Wheel Club “Smok Other Sports, he Championship Straggle. Wew Yok, Oct. 14.—([Special Telegram to the Brr.]—The first game in the east for the world's ceampionship between the Detroit and St. Louis clubs was played at Washing- fon park, Brooklyn, to-day. There were 10,000 spoctators. The weather was vel chilly. When the teams appeared on the fleld they received a welcome and enthusias- tic plaudits in turn, although it looked as though the people rather favored the League team. As Brooklyn is an association city, this sign could not be accounted for, except o the explanation that perhaps the towns- sten were not altogether pleased that the St. Louls tmen should have attained suce a pro- mounced lead in the race with their fellows. The apectators were not altogether satisfied for the game in a large majority of the inn- fugs was of the mechanical order. If ever the stercotyped phrase, “It was @ pitcher's buttle,” could be appropriately used, it wus 1 regard to to-day's game. The ficlding er- rors were so unimportant that of the seven runs made six were carncd. One error that counted was made by " White at third in the seventh inning. Scory Sr. Louis. The Second One. St. Lotts, Oct. 14.—Information was re- ceived late to-night that an attempt was made this evening to rob the International & Great Western train near Spring Station, Texas, by two masked men, Tney boarded the engine and forced the engineer to stop the train, but the firoman jumped off and notified the crew and_passengers. The rob- bers took to the woods. i st A NOVEL SUIT.

The Friend Sensation. Friesp, Neb., Oct. 14.—(Special to the Bee] —Quite a sensation was croated in our usually quiet town yesterday morning about 40'clock. There has lived in and around Friend for quite a number of years a German by the name of Ferdinand Arndt. He has figured in our local and district courts quite often. Some three months ago he tried to shoot his divorced wife. For this offence he was ar- restedand gave bonds for his appear anceatthe district court. Court is now in session at Wilber and Arndt failed to put in an appearance, and yesterday the judge declared the bouds forfeited, but sent a deputy sheriff to bring Arndt to cowrt. Thedeputy arrived there on the night train, and procuring the services of Constable Dillon, they procceded to the house occupied by Arndt, to arrest him and take him to Wilber to-day. They knocked on the door and he did not respond to- their call. They finally broke in the house, knowing that he was there. Constable Dillon had no sooner entered than e received a revolver shot through the hand. As soon as the dep- sheriff heard the uty firing of the revolver, he took leg bail for security. Mr. Dillon was unprepared for such a reception and was not armed. Arndt n of the fort and proposed to on secured a posse of citizens and proposed to take Arndt at all hazards. Two men armed with shot guns told him_to surrender, and his reply was a shot from_his revolver. ' As he raised his revolver to shoot aggain one of the men shot his hand and_one of his fingers s0 that he dropped the revolver, but picked it up with his left and fired away again, After @ while he got the drop on one of the men again and once more a man with a shot gun told him to drop it, but he did not until he was shot in the arm. That dazed him for an in- stant when the man rushed in and took his revolver from him and took him to the cooler, whero he now is. Arndt fired ten shots from his_revolver. He had a box of cart- ridges with him. The house where the shoot- ing took place looks like a deserted fort. The doors and windows are all broken in. If Arndt gets his just dues he will go to tho pen for a number of years.

Persiani, one of the best known personages in this city, died in a room in the rear of the saloon known as ‘‘The Senate,” on Farnam street between Fif- teenth and Sixteenth. Shortly before his death he awoke his bed-fellow and stated that he felt ill and believed that he was about to die. Soon after he complained of Inaling worse, and in his agony cried “for God’s sake kill me.” Physicians were then sent for, but before they ar- rived the unfortunate man had died. Persiani was about fifty years of age and for several years has been a hard drinker. He is married and has four children, all of whom are now in the east on a visit.

Just opposite Sea- man’s carringe repository, be- tween Cuming and Izard streets, he pulled a_revolver and attempted to shoot the driver. The latter grabbed the revolver and sucéeeded in getting the weapon away from the man. In the meantime four shots had been fired at the driver’s head, which fortunately missed him. The man who did the shooting jumped from the croupe and ran away,and the girl was brought to the centra of the city. The affair caused the gathering of a large crowd. No cause is known for the trouble. DIED. At his residence, southwest corner of Davenport and Twenty-fifth streets, Allan Lister, of the firm of Lister Bros.

A Woman Horrible Burned By a Gas- oline Kxplosion—Andy McAn- drew's Wound Fatal — A Brakeman Baaly Hurt. Dashed to Death. Last night for the second time in two weeks two human beings were at the same time robbed of life through the medium of an engine in the limits of the city of South Omaha. The fatality of last night was not surrounded with the sad circumstances of the first, but was no less horrible, and the city was thrown into such a furore as nothing short of aterrible accident could create. The men who met their fate, H. W. Rice and William Wickmeyer, were for some time residents of that vi- cinity and were well known. The acci- dent occurred near what is known as Savage’s crossing in a cut about three- quarters of a mile north of the depot. The men had been in Omaha and were walking buck., When they reached the point referred to, they were met by a north bound freight and stepped out of the way onto the other track. The noise of the approaching freight prevented them from hearing the 6:15 dummy bound for South Omaha, which struck and threw them about sixty feet, whero they fell one on each side of the track. 3 The engineer immediately stopped the train, Lut when it was found that both men were dead the dummy pro- ceeded to South Omaha, where the au- thorities were notified of ‘the accident. Two policemen who were on the scene took charge of the remains. Both men were lying with their faces on the ground and there was much conjecture as to their iden- tity until the arrival of the marshal, who changed their positions so that their features could be seen, and then Rice was positively identified by those who worked with “him on the grades near the city. No one seomed to_ know the other man until a party claiming to be his brother-in-law said his namo was William Wickmeyer and his home was in Corning, Ia. The previous residence of Rice was not known, but some claimed he was from Des Moines, Ia. The body of Wickmeyer was the most mutilated, the scalp and crown of his head being torn off and his brains })rulr\uliug from the aperture. Both of his legs were also broken near the ankles. Rice’ body was free from injuries and it ap- peared that he died solely from the ef- ects of a crushed skull. Nobody saw the accident except the engineer and fireman. The former said he saw the two men when the engine was about ten feet distant and tried to stop, but could not until they were struck and his train had passed them about thirty feet.” When he went back Wickmeyer was dead and Rice, though still breathing, expired in u few 1no- ments. Rice had been in the city about six mohtns, having been employed as a laborer ‘on several of the public_works. Wickmeyer had been = working in Fowler's packing house up to Thursday, when he quit and secured employment on one of the street car lines in Omaha and was going out to get his money from Fowler’s when killed. The coroner was notified and was tuken to the scene of the accident on a special engine, and on examining the bodies he found letters proving the identity of the dead men. A jury was impanelled and after the remains had been viewed they were placed on the engine and brought to Seventeenth streot, where they were taken in awagon and conveyed to the morgue.

A frightful accident occurred at the residenco of M. S. Jaffie, in the rooms above the Golden Rule Bazaar, corner of Sixteenth and Webster streets, about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. The family had just eaten break- fast and had all left the din- ing room but Mrs. Jafie. Her hus- band,‘who was feeling indisposed, had not risen yet, and was lying in bed in an adjoining room. Mrs. Jaffie, turning off the fire in the gasoline stove, pro- ceeded to fill the reservoir with this ‘herous fluid. There was not a par- ticle of fire about the premises, but the stove was still hot from the breakfast cooking, and Mrs. Jaffie had filled the basin about half full of gasoline, when there was A TERRIFC EXPLOSION and in the flash of an_eye the unfortu- nate woman's clothing was saturated with the flaming fluid. So great was the force of the explo- sion that the window in the front room facing the street was blown out, and the crash attracted several parties on the opposite sidewalk, among them Chief Galligan of the fire department, who ran across and up into the building. With A PIERCING SHRIEK Murs, Jaffie ran out of the dining room into the hallway, where she was met by Drs. Vance and Smith and Chief Galli- guan. The two former, at the risk ot a serious burning, began to tear the woman's flamiug garments from her person, while Chief Galligan rushed into the Jaftie l\\)urtmunu and gathering up an armful of the bed cloth- ing from the bed in which Mr. Jafile lay he darted back with them to the woman’s aid. He was closely followed by the husband, who, in his horror, threw his arms about his wife and for 4 moment retarded the effor of the others from extingui<hing the woman's blazing garments. Jaftie’s night dress was in flames inan instant, and his face and hands were horribly burned. As Galligan and Dr. Vance wrapped the bed clothing about Mrs. Jallie, Dr. Smith assisted the husband in divesting himself of his burning night dress. In o moment more and the fearful scene was over. Mrs. Jaflio was carried into her room and laid upon the bed, and everything possible done to alleviate her excruciating agony. Her limbs and entire body were burned black, and in many places the flesh was LITERALLY BROILED. The doctor fears she is fatally burned, although she was not burned about the face nor did she inhale the flames. While she may recover, the chances are against her. Mr, Jaffie escaped with a couble of badly burnt hands and a scorched back.” The fire department promptly responded to the alarm that was turned in, but there was no need of its services. WILL PROBABLY DIE. McAndrew's Wouad Thonght to be Fatal. McAndrew the bartender for Sandy McKnight who was shot by Charles Knox, will probably die. Yesterday morning the family physician was summoned and a thorough examins ation revealed that his hurt was of the most alarming character, and would in all probablity result in death. Internal hemorrage and blood poisoning are both apprehended. The ball was carefully probed for, but not found. It made a gged hole in the left chest, and pene- ted, it is feared, the upper lobe of the lung. With the best of care and nurs- ing the doctor thought that MeAndrew might possibly be carried through all vight, but the result was extremely problematical. Owing to his condition, the preliminary hearing of Knox, the murderous mulatto, was: continued until next Tuesday morning. This is ond fright- ful fight that has occurred in McKnight's saloon within forty-eight hours. Wednesday night Robert Dal- ton, a stranger, was heaten in a brutal manner with a seltzer water bottle in the hands of Krough, another of Me- Knight's burly bartenders. The police say it is one of the toughest ranches in in the city. . Charged With Attempt to Kill. A couple of days ago Charles Ander- son and Gustof Norelius, two workmen in Johnson's brick yard near Prospect Hill cemetery, got into a row, and An- derson struck Norelius several times with fragments of bricks. None of the wounds at the time were thought to he serious, but yesterday it was discovered that Norelius’ skull was fractured and that he was in a critical condition. A warrant was thereupon issued for An- derson’s arrest, charging him with ns- sault with intent to kill. It was served by Constable John Hawkinson yester- day, and Anderson was taken into cus- tody to await the result of Norelius’ in- juries. A Brakeman Badly Hurt. It was reported at the Union Pacific depot last evening that a brakeman had been run over by the cars at Central City and lost both legs. At 8:30 the wounded man was brought in, and proved to be Jerome Loretz. He was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital, whero it was discovered that only one leg was injured, and it fortunately would not The injured member wound below the bken. need amputation. has a terrible and the bone is bi only slightly br knee The left leg is Lost a Finger. H. R. Hunt, a switchman, who had his hand smashed while coupling cars on the 7th, had to have one of his fing- ers amputated yesterday. Dr. Lee, who had the case in charge had hoped to save the hand intact, but gangrene set in and the finger had to be amputated to save his life. ——— WHEN GOULD WAS POOR. How He Lost His Tannery Thirty Years Ago. The news that the Western Union Telegraph company has swallowed up the Baltimore & Ohio organization,and the fact that Jay Gould is the head and front of the latter company recall to peovlo here the time, less than thirty years ago, writes a Wilkesbarre, Pi corresyondent, when Jay Gould was a bankrupt and practically penniless neighbor. Stanley Woodward, addi- tional law judge of the courts of this county, was the receiver of the firm of which Jay Gould was a junior member, and which for some years prior to 1861 had a tannery at Gouldsboro, in Buck township, then in this county, but now in Lackawanna county. The neigh- borhood was primitive at that time, a little clearing surrounded by dense for- ests, and it is still protty much the same, Zadoc Pratt, a well known tanner in New York, sent Gould there. The tannery was located about six miles dis- tant from Gouldsboro station and the hides were hauled to and the leather from the tannery over a plank road built for the purpose. Leupp, Lee & Co. wero importers of hides in New York. They brought large quantities of hides from Buenos Ayres and sent them to Gouldsboro to be tanned, and Jay Gould superintended the process and kept the accounts. For a time the affairs of the E‘nflnnrshlp moved along swimmingly. hen the partners quarrelled and in a little time the dispute became very bit- ter. Actual war followed. Lee organized a force of daring men and marched upon the tannery. Gould had also or- ganized a force and held the tannery, which he had strongly barricaded in an- ticipation of the attack. Lee demanded capitulation. Gould refused. A hot conflict ensued, in which notonly sticks and stones, but rifles and bullets were used. But Gould held poss m. Sub- sequently all were arrested, Then pro- ceedings were begun on the equity side of the court for a dissolution of the partnership. Leupp, Leo & Co. were representated in the suit by BEvarts, Southmayd & Choate, the head of the firm being the present United States senator from New Yoek. Gould’s at- torneys were Messrs. McClintock & Nicholson, of this city. 1t is remembered that in these pro- ceedings Gould gave many evidences of his remarkable powers of intuition, rapidity of thought and promptitude in action for which he has since become famous. Asin all equity proceedings, many affidovits o8 to particular matters were constantly being regired, and Gould would sit at the table listening to the lawyers on both sides discussing the ne ty or non-necessity for an affidavit, and by the time the court had decreed that it should or could be made it would be ready in Gould’s own hand- writing. He would gather an unde standing of what was wanted from the speeches and proceed immediately tg the making of it. He te & good, clear hand, and very rzpidly. Judge Woodward says cannot recall any weo of equal quickness und aptitude on the part of a client, As a result of the suit a dissolution of the firm was decreed by the court and Judge Woodward, then a young lawyer, glad enough of such a windfall, was ap- pointed receiuen, He took possession of the tannery, from which, however, nearly everything of value removed. There was about $9,000 on credits, and the tannery, tools, stock, horses, mules, and personal property generally amounted to about 87,000 more. The re- ceivership continued through several years before all the tangled accounts oould be straightened out. What re- mained at the settlement went to Leupp, Lee & Co., Gould’s debits amounting to more than his share of the proceeds. He was a bank- rupt and the best evidence that such was the case isthe fac. that before leaving, which he did soon after the re- ceiver was appointed, he borrowed 85 J. Lewis Simmons, or “Lew,” as he is familiarly called, the keeper of the lit- tle hotel at Gouldshoro station, to help ory his expenses back to New York. Limmons is there yet, and the $5 is still owing, though, of course, the great speculator has forgotten the debt or he would have ' returned it long ago with interest. The next his acquaintances heard of Gould | was that he had been made su- perintendent of a railroad in Vermont. A little later he was president of the road. His career since is public prop- erty. Years aftorwards Judge Woodward met Gould at Saratoga. They rum- nized each other. Gould told Wood- ward, in answer to the latter's question that his stewardship had been well per- formed. “Then,” said the judge. jocosely, “T have only this to ask, that it you should ever need a receiver again you well re- member the fact and give me the place.” Gould answered with a smile eloquent of his conviction that he was not at all likely ever again to be at the mercy of a receiver, and it is probably safe enough to assume that he will at least never be reduced to the necessity of borrowing §5 to pay his railrond fave on a journey in search of a job. It was but twenty-six years ago that these things happened, and the fact that in that short time he has climbed from such dire straits to the possession of millions and the place of dictator of practically all the country is almost as marvellous as the wildest recitals of tho writers of fiction. R “PRINCE OF THIEVES." Big Jim Burns, Who Planned an In. genious Robbery in Philadelphia. Philadelphia News: The doath of the notorious sneak James Burns, in Ham- burg. some duys since, recalls the story of one of his boldest plans, which was laid against the great banking house of Drexel & Co., in this city, at the time when their office was at 84 South Third street. In the old building the bonds were kept during the day in a wooden drawer which was only about .welve inches from any one standing in front of the counter, which was of wood. “It was proposed to wait until after- noon, when the valuables had all been removed and the women were scrubbing the offices. One of the ‘‘sneaks” was then to enter as if to write & note in a hurry; he would be followed by others, one of whom, while apparently leaning against the anter, was to cut a hole eight inches site the end of the d the drawer itself. This would take not more than five minutes, and traces of the cutting could be coveed up in no time by means of walnut putty. The next diy, when the bonds were put buck into the drawer, one member of the gang was to engage the attention of the clerk, while another would push through the detached picce, under cover of a large cloak, and secure a handful of bona: Burns was foiled in his attempt by the fact that just as he perfected the scheme he was arrested, and before he regained his liberty the bank had moved. He was b 1877 by er, and through Med in _another scheme in were luck.

His last enterprise was the robbery of the Vereins bank in Ham- burg on July 22, 1855, He succeeded in getting about $14,000. He was the man who originated the ‘‘sneak™ method in the robbery of banks, the most daring of all the schemes by which a bank is “worked.” His associates in the in- vention of this method are now reputa- ble merchants, and have deserted thei evil ways forever Beware of Scrofula Serofula is probably more general than any other diseaso.
