Kobbers This Morning. The Passengers Carefully Guarded 'WTiile They "Went Through the Express Car in Approved Style. THE SAFES TAKEN BODILY. It is Said That the Amount Secured Will in all Probability Exceed $100,000. IT WAS VERY QUIETLY AND QUICKLY That the Gang Brought the Train to a Halt and Blew the Express Car Into Frag-ments Stories of the Train Men. Milwaukee, Nov. 12. The midnight train from Chicago on the Milwaukee & St. Paul road was robbed by masked men near West-ern Union Junction at 1 o'clock this morning. The train had been out. of the junction, twenty-thre- e miles south of this place, about Lalf a mile when the fireman, Edward Aver-il-l, who was putting some coal into the fur-nace was startled by a noise behind him. He turned around and discovered two masked men clambering over the engine tender: Both levelled their double-barrele- d guns at the fireman and Engineer ''Bill'' McKay, with the injunction: "Don't move an inch until we tell you to or we will blow the top of your d d heads off." Engineer McKay was directed to run th train to a point about one mile from West-ern L'nion Junction. . Here he was com-manded to stop. Both men were ordered to step down and out of the cab. They were marched to the express car under cover and then the work of blowing open the express car began. Several bombs were used. The fireman thinks they were thrown into the car, and the explosions were terrific and must have awakened every passenger on the train, but nobody appeared on the scene. The robbers were undoubtedly not less than six or seven in number, judging from the manner in which they conducted opera-tions. The train men believe they hod a team close at hand, with which to cart away the safes w hich were taken bodily out of tins cars. Fireman Averill's story is the most com-prehensive. "They made me walk ahead of them to the express car," he said, "and they gave me a jimmy to pry open the boxes. They got the messenger's keys, though he was in no hurrv to srive them- - ud. and thev will have no trouble in getting away with the money." The train was held for over half an hour. The entire efforts of the robbers were cen-tered on the express car, and not a passenger was molested. The fireman thinks there were half a dozen men guarding the coaches, hjwever. 'Xho first news of the robbery was brought to Western Union Junction by the flagman. Thi Milwaukee and Racine police were tele-graphed for immediately, and Detective on which he left at 2:40 o'clock. "Less than five minutes out of Western Union Junction," said Messenger Murphy, "the train slowed up suddenly. A musket was poked through the top window of the car and a second later a terrific explosion oc-curred that knocked both myself and Mr. Cook in a heap. Half a dozen more explosions followed and both doors flew off their bolts. Then two men. wearing big, black masks, clambered quickly into the car and covered us with their revolvers. We were cautioned to maintain silence, on penalty of getting our heads blow n off. "After glancing hurriedly about tl'e car, the robbers fastened their eyes upon the two iron boxes of the American Express com-pany. Tne robtters brought the fireman in a little later and went through .11 the boxes. They compelled us to hand over the keyes. They dumped boxes out on the road bed. One of the robbers kept us covered with his musket all the time, while the other super-intended the operations of the fireman." .Vesscnger Murphy stated that they se-cured all the bills of money contained in the safe and that the sum was undoubtedly a very large one. It is probable that the total aniouut of the robbery today will amount to $100,000, and possibly more. An official of the St. Paul road said the train which was held up was the one which generally carried all the money received by the Milwaukee banks from the east in the morning. Agent John F. Bell, of the American Ex-press company, said to a reporter that an ap-proximate statement of the amount taken by the robbers could not be learned. He said $5000 in local packages was certainly gone, besides the sum contained in two sealed envelopes. Some of the passengers who were asleep did not know anything about the "hold-up- " until the train arrived in Milwaukee. Other of the passengers thought there were twenty or thirty robbers. Still others thought they saw only a dozen, while others said there w ere more robbers than passengers. When the train started up again the passengers saw the safes lying beside the track, but the robbers had disappeared. When the train arrived at the union depot at 2:20 o'clock, the express car presented an appearance that would indicate that it had been attac ked by heavy artillery, every door and window being blow n off, and the plat-foi-and walls were shattered in half a dozen places, while the contents were piled in an indiscriminate heap in the center of the car. Messenger G. C. Murphy and his C. H. Cook, were found gathering tip the fragments of way bills and looking over the remnants left by the robbers. They Got So Cash. Chicago, Nov. 12. General Manager Earllnz of the St. Faul railway received a dispatch this morning saying that the rob-bers did not get any booty from the express car held up near Western Union Junction this morning. The dispatch said that the robbers, after gaining admission to the ex-press car, commanded the messenger to open the safes. He refused and the safes were then pitched off the car on the ground. In the meantime the rear brakeman, understanding the sit-uation, rushed back to Junction and got an engine. The ensine and posse at once went to the scene, and the robbers fled. The robbers had tried to force open the doors of the safe, but were unsuccessful. The train went on to Milw aukee, and the fast mail train which left Chicago later picked up the safes and carried them to Milwaukee. The police of Milwaukee and the secret service of St. Paul together with the sheriff of Racine county are iu pursuit of the rob-bers. Their iliarht was so hasty that they did not take the precautions to cover their track so the officials believe they will get them before noon today. Express Messenger Murphy reported at the headquarters of the American Express company here and gave an account of his experience. He detailed the 'facts as given in the previous interview adding that a number of shots were fired. The three robbers, after gaining entrance, demanded and got the keys to the safe at tho muzzles of their guns. The engineer was compelled to force open the local safe con-taining money and valuables consigned from Chicago for points between Chicago and Lacrosse. As the through safes had combination locks the robbers were unable to get into thein.1 The robbers then compelled the train men Uli 1 . U Iftlil THE rKICE OF A KISS.

In submit-ting his instructions to thy jury in the Woodruff trial, Judge Lea was very severe on the defendant. In almost every instance the instructions asked for by the defense were denied.

Conflicting Reports of the Situation in lirazil The Chilean Junta Steps Don n and.Out Stories of Revolution from Central America War Rumors. Ria Janeiro, Nov. 12. There is nothing, as far as cau be learned here, to seriously threaten the stability of Fonseea's dictator-ship. If there is any revolt in Pernambuco, Bahia or Para, reliable information of it has not reached this city. There are doubtless dissatisfied republicans and a number of im-perialists who would like to see the mon-archy but they have not, as far as known here, openly prononnced against the government. The only signs of discontent the people of Rio are aware of, ale in Kio Grande da Sul, the most southernly of the states in the re-public. Such disturbances as have broken out there appear to have been altogether of a local character. Kio is quiet. Business is conducted as before the dissolution of, con-gress. Fonseca fetill maintains that he ha.i no intention of prolonging the dictatorship beyond such time as is necessary to a government perfect all over Brazil. A correspondent at Valparaiso sends lho following: It is reported that a number of the members of the Brazilian oaure:---, which Dictator Fonseca recently di?.-olc-d, have sought asylum iu different foreign le-gations in Kio Janiero. I raguar has beca alarmed at the ?ate of affairs in Brazil, and massed troops along the frontier line of thst country. A dispatch from Buenos Ayres, fta'rs that on the night of Nor. 9, a revolt began in Rio Grande du Sul and spread rap-idly. At last accounts the greater part of the.statewas occupied by the rebels. Gen-eral Fernandez and Santa Ann are said to be at the head of the revolutionists. The gar-rison of Yuguaron, it is said, has joined'the insurgents. Following upont he announcement of the garrison atTujjruaron going over to the in-surgents come w?rd that t o other garri-sons have also'joined forces in Kio Grande du Sul. While this is taking place residents of Kio Janiero seem to be kept in perfect ig-norance of these stirring events. Their ignorance is owing to the fact that the government is Suppressing all tele-grams that describe the true Mtuntiou of af-fairs in the state of Kio Grande du Su!. The chiefs of the revolution are said to be Aisconde Pelotas, Baron Jijuk and Generals Astropillo and Ferarares. Their ' object seems to be to form a national party in op-position to the dictator. This party is to be made up of liberals and conservatives. The probabilities are the authorities will meet with a very lively time iu Kio Grande du Sul. The Brazilian minister to Chile, Scnor Cyalcanti, has resigned as representative of Fonseca. CAGED TILE COON. DETECTIVE JOHNSON RUNS IN A POR-TER ON A SERIOUS CHARCE. Suspected of a I ons List of Hotel Rob lerie The Boycott Takes a Turn in Police Court Sneak Thieve Locked I p. . Dave Campbell, somewhat noted in the annals of frontier crime, was aaiu arrested yesterday by Detective Bruce Johusou on a charge of stealing a valuable chair from th Templeton, at which place Campbell waij employed as porter. Detective Johnson suspects Campbell of being the perpetrator of a long list of offenses, and says that he has already don time in the county jail at Deuvrr ' where the prominence of his fath'r-in-la- w saved him from being pressed.

Orr, members the clerk's union, were arrested last nigjht on complaint of D. II. Tatham, a Main ttrett merchant, who complained tlc3.fr the prisoners were interfering with hia business. This morning the parties appeal., ed before Judge Gee, represented by Jude Powers; but the hearing was continued un--t- il tomorrow afternoon. Tatham sets up that because of his refusal-t-close his doors and dismiss his clerks hour the matter was laid before thai Federated Trades who recommended that, the clerks appeal to to the purchasing pub-lic, and more especially the patrons of th boycotted establishment. This, he claims, wa bcina: done when the arrest was ordered. On the other hand, the defendants claim they were doing nothing but what was lawful, and as the'Federated Trades are interested' in establishing a precedent the light-i- courff will be a bitter one.

The Scheme Proposed by a New York Banker at the New Orleans Meeting. ' New Orleans, Nov. 12. The American Bankers association resumed its session to-day and the silver question had the right of way from the start. M. P. St. Johns of New lork made the following proposition: "Cease buying silver bullion and restore the United States coinage founded with the mint in 1702 and only abrogated in 1S73; that is, ; reopen ' the mints to equally unrestricted coinage for gold and silver, as the best methods. Allow the owners of gold and silver to receive legal tender notes at the coin value instead of coin at their option. kux iiiutrs u ne rrueemeu iu eiuici cum ni treasurer's option, but the secretary to re-deem in bullion at not less than the coin value thereof. On the request of note holders a moderate coinage to be prescribed, all the remainder to be coined or not at the secretary's discretion. All gold and silver bullion and coin resulting to be held as dollar for dollar metallic reserve for notes outstanding. All treasury notes of 1S00, and gold and silver certificates, when received, to be replaced by the proposed new notes, secured as provided and redeemable as prescribed, the president of the United States to he required to proclaim rrar adoption cf the European coinage ratio for gold and silver when continental Europe shall reopen her mints to silver; our mints thereupon buying up our silver dollars then outstand-ing at a premium of 3 cents each apd replacing them with silver dollars containing eight grains pure silver. By such provision of our statutes and without inter-national entanglement we assure Europe against the flight of our silver dollars for re'eoinage at their mints, and assure our-selves against such contraction of our cur-rent money whenever Europe reopens her mints to silver.

Though at midnight last night the great gale in England sub-sided the storm is still raging in south-western Ireland. Dispatches continue to be received giving details of the havoc wrought along the coast by yesterday's storm. At Ramsgate. on the cast coast of the isle of Thane t, Kent, four fishermen drowned. There is great excitement in Southport, on the Irish sea, over the prob- able drowning of the crew of a life boat which went out yesterday to attempt to save the crew of a'vessel in distress off that place. There is hardly any doubt among those acquainted with the dansrers of the coast that the life boat foundered, and every soul in her found a watery grave. BLAZES OX BRIGIIA3L COVERNOR THOMAS' DWELLING HAS A NARROW ESCAPE. .Spontaneous Combustion Gets in Its Treach-erous Work Once More The Actual Loss Covered by slOOO With, an Insurance of $8000. The handsome residence of Governor Thomas, situated upon the terraces of Brig-ha-street took fire this morning shortly after 10 o'clock, and the loss from the ele-ments is variously estimated at from $SO0 to $1500, the damage by water ha ving not yet been determined. At the time of its appearance one of the. domestics in the house was engaged in put-ting her apartment on the upper floor in order, when a blade of tire shot from the dry door of a narrow closet and at once began to eat its way up towards the roof, gathering volume from a number of old oil paintings and bric-a-br-that had been retired from service. It had soon gnawed its way to the rafters above aud when the department arrived on the scene sheets of smoke were forcing them-selves from the eaves of the roof. The flames finally broke forth in the northeast corner, and fifteen minutes later the attic was flooded and the fire under control. The furniture was considerably damaged by water, but the loes is fully covered by the insurance in the sum of $"5000 which is covered in different companies. in xne aosence or any mauuesi cause, me governor as well as the domestic who was present at the moment the flames appeared, was at a loss for a cause until Chief Stanton made an investigation and as-certained that it was simply a case of spon-taneous combustion, arising from the chem-ical elements contained in the mass of odds-and-en- 6tored in the closet. The loss was reported to the insurance companies this afternoon at a figure between JS00 and $1000.

They Vote Down the Proposition to Cede the Arid Lands to the States. Secaha, Mo., Nov. 12. In the farmers' congress yesterday, Congressman Heard of Missouri delivered an address on ''Railway Transportation." This subject he declared of supreme importance to the farmer. One of the solutions of this vexed question, he said, .was found in 6tate railway commis-sions. Another method of controlling rail-way corporations in the interests of the people was through the national railroad commission. Some rrofessed to believe that the railroad should be placed un-der government management. Government railroading, Heard believed, would be a g-- i g vatic failure. In the first place the govern-mer- t would have to buy the railroads, and that would cost ten billion dollars. That would be an impossibility practically, be-cause there 1s in circulation only $1,500,000. The purchase of the railroads would necessi-tate ncurringi debt of gigantic proportions, anjione else, wanted to go down : in 'their pockets and pay any more debt than they are now paying. Another great objection to government railway control was the increase of Federal officeholders which it would ne-cessitate. Among the resolutions were the following: Urging congress to cede the arid lands in the various states to provide the states with sys-tems of irrigation; recommending that the president and vice-preside- cf the United States and United States senators be elected by a direct vote of tho people; demanding the extension of the signal service reports; requesting the federal government to aid the states in the irrigation of the arid lands. The resolutions were ail adopted except the latter, whic h was stricken from the report by a vote of 44 to 17. At the afternoon session more resolutions of thanks to Secretary Rusk for his work for the farmers were adopted. Th i committee recommended the adoption of resolutions pledging the organization to maintain its n character; demanding the pas-sage of laws distributing the burden of tax-ation on all classes equally; declaring that the public domain should be reserved for the settlement of United States citizens to the exclusion of foreigners: declaring that national taxation should be limited to the needs of government economically and hon-estly administered; requesting the secretary of agriculture to increase the number of agents abroad, to push the work of intro-ducing corn as food; demanding the im-provement by the federal government of the waterways and the harbors of the United States? renuestinsr the free delivery of mail among farmers, "and demanding control of all trusts, combinations and monopolies, so that they shall work no harm to the people.

Granados and oth-er leaders, who are organizing the revolu-tion against President Barillas, have their headquarters at Sepachula, Mexico. The Mexican government will be asked to inter- - fere and not permit a violation of the neu-trality laws. The revolutionists assert that they have over 1500 men ready in Cu..te-mal- a and that another force is being raised iu the south in which there are many promi-nent persons. The Salvadorian government has demanded that Barillas expel the Salva-dorian refugees in Guatemala conspiring against the Ezeta government. Salvador, Nov. 12.

Chicago, Nov. 12. The stars and stripes waved aloft last night after a scene of excite-ment unequaled since the Haymarket riot, Over 1000 anarchists and sympathizers gath-- ! ered at West Twelfth street. Turner hall, to commemorate the anniversary of execution of Spies and Parsons. The speeches were extremely strong, and red emblems covered everything. The climax came during the incendiary utterances of Henry Weissman, editor of a New York German trades paper. Inspector of Police Hubbard, accompanied by Lieuten-ant Gibbons and a squad of ofliecrs in citi-zen clothes, approached the stave. Hubbard ordered the American flag placed among the flaming red banners w hich were conspicuous everywhere. Instantly there was a profound sensation in the taoJey audience, and the police were hissed from ail that part of the hal!. Mrs. Lucy Parsons shrieked out: "Hang the murderers of my husband." In a second pandemonium reigned; hund-reds of excited men pushing forward, curs-ing the officers, and seemingly only wanted the need of a word from the leaders to pre-cipitate a bloody fight. Nevertheless, In-spector Hubbard" unflinchingly ordered the suspension of the meeting until his com-mand- .i were obeyed. Through the din the half hundred policcould be seen with their hands on their clubs and revolvers prepar-ing for the tight which seemed inevitable. It was fuliy ten minutes before order was restored. The American flasrmeanw hile had been reluctantly hoisted to a piace over the stasre. The proceeding was only accom-plished when the officers were found ready for action, and the cooler heads among the audience had time to exercise some influ-ence. The meeting had been taken com-pletely by surprise,'" else a more tragic result misrht have followed. The leaders of the meeting assert that it was only to show reverence for the men who perished at the hands of the law. When the proceedings opened the sta;c was fairly buried in red bunting, while prominently in front were, placed the busts of Spies and Parsons, with characteristic inscriptions.

MIND READER SEYMORE Gives a Most Marvelous Kxhibition of lilt Powers. A really wonderful manifestation of the power of one person to read the thought w hich arc passing through the mind of an. other, w as given to several newspaper mea aud a number of others, this morning, by the mind reader, A. J. Seymore. There can be no quc.-tio- n of Mr. Seymore's ability to da all that he claims to do and even more One of his tests today was inlocating hidden scars on the persons of several gentlemen, w ho were present in the curio hall of Won derland. Judge Laucy had such a mark on his left, knee; a Times reporter had nearly-cu- t off the little toe of his right foot. Both of these scars were found by Mt. Seymore with unerring accuracy. Another test was the finding of a coin, hidden in tos. pocket of the coat w orn by the wax figure-o- i Kemler. But the last aud tho severest lest was tho finding of an article biddeui more than two blocks away. The reporter and three others took a carriage from Wou derland and drove in a round about coursa to Johnson it Pratt's drugstore on Main street, where a "valley tan" gold medal worn by Mr. Johnsou was placed in a tin box containing a cake of tooth soap and tha soap put on top of it.

Returning to Wonderland, where Mr. Sey more had been guarded, he after a very slight effort told the name of the article hid-den, the street where the building was situ-ated and its number. Tho party then re-entered the carriage which was driven by Mr. Seymore blindfolded. He drove up Main street past the store to the. Temple, when he re. ceived the riht impression; turned aud drove back, stopped at the right place, and, taking the hand of oue of the party, went to the box of tooth soap, opened it aud found the medal in less than a half a minute from the time he had entered tho door.
