The route of the engine was marked by mail pouches and letters which the robber threw or dropped out as he escaped. The robber was evidently well acquainted with rail- | roading. His face was blackened and he was s man little less than six feet tall, weighing about 150 pounds. He took Con- ductor Kinnebrew's watch after he shot him. | —e Results at New Orlean: EW ORLEANS, Dec. 13.—Weather rainy; track heavy.

TEXARKANA, Ark, Dec. 13.—A bold | rabbery on the Cottonbelt Railway oc- curred to-day at Bassetts, Tex., thirty miles south of Texarkana, on the train coming north, in which Postal Clerk John N. Dennis was almost killed and the mall | pouches of the mall car rifled of their | contents. The amount stolen is not known. { As the train left the Bassetts water | tank at 6 o'clock 4. m. the express and | mall cars were separated on the train, but the train crew soon had them coudpled | again. In the run from there to Tex- | arkana the coaches were uncoupled twice | in a very mysterfous manner. Upon the arrival of the train here the United States r clerk went to the door of the mail car and knocked for the postal clerk | to open it. No response was given. The | officials then forced an entrance and were | astonished to find the clerk, John N. Den- nis, stretched upon the floor, apparently dead. An examination showed that the | registered pouches had been ripped open | and robbed of their contents, the most | valuable of which was the Wayne through | ich, containing a large number of val- | le packages. A physician was sen for and it was found that Dennis was alive, but unconscious, An ugly wound in | the top of his head told the story. Two hours after he was taken to the hospital | he revived enough to give the details of | the robbery. Just as the train parted at | Bassetts tank Dennis went into the ves- | tibule of the mail car to stir up the fire, ‘When he opened the vestibule door he saw | two men standing by the stove, one of whom dealt him a terrible blow on the | head with a heavy fire shovel. The first | blow felled him and he was then quickly | beaten into a senseless condition. He knew nothing more until he was removed to the Texarkana hospital. He is in a | critfeal condition. Examination of the car showed that the | robbers gained entrance by crawling through a small trap door through the floor of the vestibule. In this vestibule | is a crank with which a person can un- couple a car and it is belleved it was the intention of the robbers to disconnect and | et control of both cars. It is impossible | to tell how much they secured. There 1s lttle to work on, as the men | ould have left the car at three different places before the train arrived here. Word reached here at noon that two | suspects have been arrested at Naples, near the scene of the robbery, but none of the stolen packages were found. Deunis is an old and trusted mail clerk.

In the application for a receiver, which is a voluminous document, the fact is set out that the association Is insolvent and unable to meet the death claims now out- standing. These claims agaregate about $300,000 and came to light through an examination made by George U. Bingham, expert of the Indiana insurance department, last Wednesday. Immediately upen being ad- vised of the condition of the association Auditor of State Hart notified T. B. Linn, supreme recorder of the Chosen Friends; that the order was insolvent and he would at_once make application for a receiver. The utmost recrecy has been observed | in the preparation of the papers to be filed in the Supreme Court, because the Auditor desired t Indiana be the first State to appoint a receiver, as under the the first appointed takes priority over any that may be appointed In other | States An examination instituted by the State Insurance Department also revealed that TERRY McGOVERN KNOCKS .OUT JOE GANS IN SECOND ROUND OF A FAST FIGHT Colored Man Makes a Miserable Showing, Acting as Though He former Supreme Treasurer Willlam B Wilson, who has been in office since 1883, | had defaulted to the amount of ahout $30, 000.

The | magnates received the note and laid It aside for future action. One of the results of to-day's early ses- sion of the magnates was the passage of an amendment to the constitution reduc- | ing the number of directors from six to four. Incidentally a new board was elect- ed, and for the first time in many years Néw York is represenied on the board. The new board will consist of Soden of Boston, Brush of Cincinnati, Dreyfus of Pittsburg and Freedman of New York. The entire national board of arbitration, consisting of Young, Soden, Brush, Hart, Robinson and Rogers, was re-elected. The committee on constitution will be com- posed of Rogers, Brush and Hart. The magnates unanimously decided to do away with the custom of early spring practice trips to the South. The second session finished without any- thing of importance being accomplished. The umpire question was thoroughly dis- cussed, but was put over untll the annual spring eeting, The magnates did not consider the players’ demand for a re- hearing of their case at the evening ses- sion. It probably will be taken up to-mor- row. | session word reached e = BUT ONE AMERICAN TEAM IS NOW IN THE RACE Elkes and McFarland Tied for First Place With the Canadian Six- Day Bicyeclist NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Narrowed down to six sore, battered and strained teams, the six-day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden has now become a con- test of nations.

Tha McGovern put from start to fin Oakland Office San Franclsco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 13.

Delaney will not say flatly that his mis- sion eastward is to again become the ma- jor domo of the Jeffries menage, but the indications are so strong that the Califor- nian has urged Delaney to come to him that the guarded statements of the bluff trainer are accepted as evidence of the truth of the report which comes from w York. . “I may return in a month and may re- main away longer.” was the way Delaney when he boarded the train at Six | treet station. Yes, 1 shall look up the fighters,” he continued. “I have credentials from a | new club in San Francisco that is well | backed and will be handled by men in whom the public has confidence. 1 am | going to see if Terry McGovern wants a fight with a man I believe has a chance | against him—I mean Marty McCue.

They did not | give Corbett credit for cleverness enough to keep out of such a mess until the re- | sult of the contest was known. McCue is acleyec ring general and can protect him- self. “As for Jeffries, well, we parted friends last June. If he'is properly handled the | big fellow will last ten years and will con- tinue to be the leader of them all. Fitz- simmons cannot whip him if Jeffries goes | into the ring in condition. Jim should fight at 220 pounds. The trouble has been that he would insist upon too hard train- | ing.
