Why is not the tule enforced? How do Mr. J. Hi. Voor bees and bis wife Elizabeti: (white) teach at the Benning schools; busband principal and wife assistant?

ATU RDAY, OCTC BER 20, 1894 eS a eee ‘ MITE USED BY ROBBERS, A Train Held Nearly $200,000 Taken. Up Near Washington ! ‘Washington, Oct. 15. — Washington was astounded Saturday morning to learn that seven masked men had held up a train within a few miles of the National Capital, had blown the side of the Adams express car out with dynamite, and had captured $150,000 or $180,000, and had escaped on the engine with their booty, turning the engine loose with the throttle wide open to wreck its will upon any pass- ing train. The train held up was the north-bound express train on the Rich- mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Rairoad, leaving Richmond, Va., at 7 o'clock Friday night. The train left Fredericksburg at 8:58 ‘clock, on time. The robbery occurred near Aquia Creek, between Brooks Sta- tion and Wide Water, an exceedingly wild part of country entirely suited for the purpose. It not known at what point the robbers boarded the train, and the first intimation anybody had that trouble was brewing was when two men jumped from the coal ear down into the cab, and, levelling revolvers at the astonished engineer and fireman, ordered them to stop the train. The fireman and engineer were com- pelled to leave the engine and sit quiet- ly on the bank al‘ongside the track. Then the bandits, who were seven in number and all disguised by masks or by handkerchiefs tied over part of their es, made for the Adams ex- press - Which was in charge of Mes- senger J. S. Crutchfield. One of the robbers called to Crutch- field to open the door of the express ear, and on his refusal the robber threw a stick of dynamite against it, which shattered the side of the car. Then one of the robbers compelled Crutchfield to open the safe, from which everything was taken, between $150,000 and $180,000. By this time the passengers and trainmen were terrified, and after the booty was secured the bandits board- ed the engine, uncoupled it from the train and sped away in the darkness. They left the engine near Wide Water, and near Juantico it ran on a side track and was ditched. There is no clue to the thieves. TWICE AROUND THE WORLD. The White Ribbon of the W. C. T. U. Tied by Miss Ackerman. Chicago, Oct. 15.—Mis s man, an “around the world ary of the Woman’s Christian Temper ance Union, has arrived here after a trip of 150,000 miles, which she claims is the largest journey ever made by a woman.

Rahway, Oct. 15. — For some days Frank Cladek has been drilling a well on the premises of Charles Harned, of No. 150 Irving street. At a depth of forty-five feet, while drilling through a stratum of shale and quartz, the workmen found numerous minute glistening yellow scales. At once it was noised about that gold had been struck, and there was a rush for the El Dorado. A number of men have examined the findings, and there is a division of opinion, some pronouncing it gold, and others a baser metal. It is said the scales are not iron pyrites, a mineral commonly mistaken for gold. It is said to resist nitric acid and to be matleable. Mr. Harned has a large quantity of the mineral, and is in hopes that he has “struck it rich.” Better Off Without the Lords. London, Oct. 15.—Sir George Trevel- van, Secretary for Scotland, addressed the Liberals of Glasgow Friday evening, He said the last Parliamentary session proved that the country would be bet- ter off without a House of Lords.
