I 'ae i lie express Nix 8 duo from St Louts
In Kansas City at 7:10 yesterday morn-
ing came In live minutes late. It bad
been held up by highwaymen at Ottor-
villo wnter tank thirteen tittles east of
Sedalia and tho thieves had robbed the
safe of tho Pacific Express Company of
every thing valuable therein contained.
When tho train passed Tipton at 2:20
that morning two passengers who at-
tracted no attention boarded it and for
about eight miles rode between the
front end of the mail car and the ten
der. As the train was flying down grade
went of Syracuse at a llfty-inilo rate th
robbers climbed over tho tender and bo-
fore the engineer and f! reman know that
they were to entertain unceremonious
callers they were covered with pistols
that looked to them to be four feet long.
The robbers had no sooner satlrfled
themselves that they were In command
of the situation than they proceeded to
unfold their little sohomo to tho engi-
neer. Frank Drayer Is known to be a
cool-headed and reliable engineer with
all the nerve required to fill suoh a po-
sition but when tho spokesman of the
twain remarked: "We want this train
stopped at Ottorville water tank"
Drayer merely nodded assent llo
knew that he was In for it and so did
thn fireman who soon after ;rently
asked bis guardian to stand apart from
lilm sulticicnt distance to permit him
to shovel somo coal into the fire
box. Tho robber very generously ac-
ceded to his request and when the
coal had been shoveled again stood the
fireman up In tho corner of tho cab and
set him to looking Into the muzzle of a
44 caliber revolver for tho remainder of
the run to Ottervllln water tank. Ar-
riving there tho train was stopped ao-
conllng to instructions and the engineer
and fireman were ordered to get down.
With guns held against their hearts by
tho robbers tho enginemen were
marched down along thn train until
they came lo the side door of the ex-
press and baggago car when ho who
had ordered tho train stopped said to
tho engineer: "Now you call tho bag-
gagemaster to open tho side door. Ho
knows your voice and will open it quick-
er for you than for mo."
.lust then five more masked men
armed with double-barreled shotguns
and Winchesters joined the crowd and
nt the same time. In response to Engi
neer Draynr's call the baggageinasonr
slid the side door open and looked into
a doukle-barrele I shotgun that had
been so arranged that he need not stir
to get a goisi v ew of it Several others
bold their guns at tho messenger and
baggagemaster and the engineer was al
lowed lo stand near by and soo the
work done.
At this juncture a nimble sort of fel
low sprang into the car and tho nearest
man with a gun Informed Messenger
Sam Avery that his activo partner
wanted to look through tho safe and
that It must be opened at unco. The
messenger prisluced the keys and a mo-
ment later the band of robbers wero In
nliiiied possession .f il thev asked
for. Accounts of the amount of money
anil valuables secured . by the robbers
differ but It Is believed that the loss to
the express company will loot up
at least S''0)00 and perhaps as much
as 175000. Tho robbers then nod.

PRACTICAL PROHIBITION.

leatrnyel-l.a About njsno.OOO.
Loiiisvh.i.k Ky. Aug. IS. Twenty-
five thousand barrels of burned whisky
at tho Kentucky distillery yesterday
caused ono of the most disastrous fires
that ever visited the city of Louisville.
A rough estimate made at noon while
the Uatnes woro still roaring furiously
placed thn total loss at fully SHOO 0(10.
It was all caused by carelessness on tho
part of a colored man who was assisting
tho watchman in moving some barrels
to reach ono In tho storehouse that was
leaking. Placing the lamp on the floor
to better attend to his work bo climbed
on top of one of the piles. Hut a mis-
step started the leaking barrel down
and when It struck the lamp tho whisky
and oil together started a blaze.
It was three o'clock before tho firo-
nien got control and U was not until
the immense warehouse the distillery
proper tho cattlo sheds and the
slaughter bouse and pork packing estab-
lishment of Conrad Heller which ad-
joined the warehouse had been wiped
out completely.
The loss of the pork packing company
will bo about S50.000. The lossos are
nearly or quite S03000 on the distil-
lery proper and thn destroyed whisky.
This loss Is divided among twelvo
whisky firms for whom Julius Hark-
houso as president of tho Kentucky
Distilling Company manufactured
whisky. These firms are tho Kentucky
Distilling Company Max Iloefbolmer
S. Lehman . Sons J. M. Miller fe Co.
Jiornhnim Distilling Company Victor
Distilling Company Illack Frank A
Co. Kentucky 111 no Grass Distilling;
Company and J. C. Marks A Co.
Those twelve firms had among them
in tho warehouse 23711 packages most-
ly in barrels or 1120177 gallons. This
whisky is valued at $700000 in round
numbers. Tho machinery and other
contents of tho building brings the total
of tho distilling company's loss up to
SN0l)!KJ(l. This is irrespective of the
loss to the Government in unpaid taxes.
90 cents a gallon wh ch will amount to

DASTARDLY DEED.
Am Unknown Mlaerennt Wrecks an Kxear-

l'niHiuiiuii Pa. Aug. lfl. An at
tempt was mado last night to wreck an
Atlantic City excursion train on the
Haiti uioro & Ohio railroad twonty miles
from this city where tho road runs
along; tho Youghlogheny river thirty
feet above tho water. Thu result was
thn almost total demolition of tho en-
gine and the death of two engineers and
a tramp. Tho passengers escaped with
slight cuts and bruiaas. The killed
wero:
Yankno Sullivan of Pittsburgh one
of tho oldest engineers on the road.
Daniel Goodwin engineer of tho east-
ern division who was riding In the cab.
Unknown man supposed to be a
tramp riding between the tender and
baggage car.
Fireman King was painfully but not
dangerously injured.
The train which consisted of six
sleeKirs and a baggage car was crowd-
ed with excursionists bound for the sea-
shore. It was late in getting away from
tho city and was proceeding at a rapid
pace to make up lost time. Near Os-
ceola station an obstruction was en-
countered. Thero was a terrific crash
and tho engine was thrown over the
embankment The cars ran along on
tho rails for fifty feot and then fell over
on the west-bound tracks towards tho
hillside.
The engine was completely wrecked.
Sullivan Goodwin and the tramp were
crushed beneath tho timbers and wero
killed almost instantly. King tho Am
man was thrown into a tree thirty feet
away.
The sleepers were not badly dam-
ged. Tho passengers wero badly
frightened.
Four ties had been placed securely
between and on tho rails. Tho work of
the wreckers was frustrated by the cars
falling on tho west-bound track. If
they had followed the engine and gone
over tho embankment Into tlio river
the loss of life would havo been fright-
ful. The most plausible theory advancod
as to tho motive of tho wreckers is that
they intended lo wreck a high class
freight train which usually precedes
the Pacific express. Last night how-
ever tho first section of tho express
train was sent out ahead of tho freight
train.

ment U. A. R. camo to order in Music
Hall at eleven o'clock yesterday morning
Prayor was offered by Past Chief Chap-
lain L AL Foster. Commandcr-ln-Chlcf
Algor then delivered bis annual address.
General Alger began with an allusion
to IIoston as tho cradlo of liberty the
place where tho seed of patriotism was
sown when the shot was flred that was
heard around tho world. He mado also
an eloquent allusion to the presence of
General Sherman whom be styled "our
commander our leader our idol and our
comrado."
He said tho condition of tho order was
excellent There was however some
disagreement In the reports of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana drawn upon the
Color line. It was a perplexing ques
tion but bo hoped that time with tho
good Intentions of all peace and liberty
loving citizens would bring a solution.
It bad been his determination to recog-
nizo as a comrade in equal rights every
man no matter what his color or na-
tionality provided be had the two
qualifications service and an honorable
discharge. The strong should aid the
weak. It ennobles the forinerand helps
to elevate the latter.
The total membership borne on tho
rolls June 80 1H'.M) was 4582:10. The
membership in ISS'J was 4100X1. The
dead during the last year numbered 5-
47d. Speaking of pensions ho said that
thero was somo disappointment at tho
failure of tho "Service bill" but tho
present law was productive of great
good to all parts of the country by tho
distribution four times a year of so
much money and it should bo remem-
bered that no country on earth ever had
been so generous to Its soldiers.
There has been expended in charity
by the order 8217650.52 not Including
tho vast work done by tho noble women
who he says are our strong right arm
in war and "are now devoting their
time lo our dependent comrades and
their widows and children."
Ho showed the backward condition of
the efforts to erect monuments to Logan
Sheridan and Grant and recommended
that thero should bo erected nt Wash-
ington a memorial building dedicated
to tho memory of General Grant. To
carry out this suggestion he recommend-
ed the appointment of a committee of
five.
The address was received with fro-
quent jj.pressi()ns.of approval.
