The robbery occurred at 8:30 a, m., when the train was seven miles west of Marshall Pass, and while descending the hill at slow speed, by five masked men, who after the robbery, escaped into the mountains. The safes in the express car were blown to pieces and the contents were gathered up by the robbers. . There were a number of ladies on the train, and the most intense excitement prevailed, one or two of them fainting. About an hour was consumed in holding up the train, blowing open the safes and robbing the passengers. The train was running in two sections aDd the first section was brought to a standstill by a pile of ties and rocks laid upon tiie tracks. The sheriff of Salida and sheriffs of adjoining counties were notified of the robbery and a dozen posses are in pursuit of the robbers.

On the anniversary of the disappear- ance of Frank Ely Rogers from his home in Evaus-toIlls., the parents of he boy have abandoned hope of being able to find him through the agencies that they have employed. Their only hope now is that the boy will return some time of his own accord. A year ago young Rogers, then 13 years old, and his aunt, Miss Florence My, left, and nothing has been heard of him since. Frank C. Rogers, the boy's father, has kept up a continuous search since that time. He has spent a fortune, it is said, in payment for the work of police and private detectives. His latest plan was the circulation of endless chain letters. Seventy LORD RESIGNS. SALISBURY PREMIER OF GREAT BRITAIN STEPS AND OUT. first Lord of the TreaoryaDCl Government Leader In House of Commons, A. J. Balfour, Appointed to Succeed the Marquis The Marquis of Salisbury has resigned the premiership of Great Britain and Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury and government leader in the house of commons, has been appointed to succeed him. The Marquis of Salisbury tendered his resignation at an audience which he had with King Edward last Friday. Saturday Mr. Balfour visited the king and accepted the premiership. While it was expected in nolitical and commercial circles that Lord Salisbury's retirement would be coincident with the coronation of King Edward, it was scarcely looked for prior to that event. Consequently, about the only surprise expressed as the news spread through London concerned the date, rather than the factof the resignation. The real interest was not so much in reference to Lord Salisburys withdrawal as it was in the appointment of his successor, lbe liveliest speculation is rife as to the personnel of the new cabinet, lbe most discussed feature of the pending changes is the position of Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, who in many quarters has been regarded as the most promising candidate for the premiership. His retirement was practically arranged at an audience of Lord Salisbury with the king a month ago, to be coincident with his majestys coronation, but the kings illness interfered with these plans and compelled Lord Salisbury to wait till his majesty was sufficiently recovered to attend to state business. Though alert mentally, the retiring Premier's physical condition, especially since the death of his wife, has not been satisfactory. It is said that Lord Salisbury, in resigning, expressed the desire that no additional honor or titles should be conferred upon bim. Tne retirement of the last great statesman of the Victorian age is universally regarded as the transition from one generation to another, as marking the close of an era of national life.

Mrs. Belding informed her husband that the little boy was in bed, but Belding insisted upon seeing the child. He went with his wife to the room where the child lay, and after remaining there a short time, he kissed the boy good-by- e and left the room. In the hallway he met Woodward, and, drawing a revolver in each hand, said to Woodward: You first," firing as he spoke. Woodward fell to the floor mortally wounded.

This, President Stackhouse of the Cambria Steel company thought would be the extent of the dead, but until all the checks by which the miners are known are presented at the office of the company, an accurate list of the dead will not be known. Some of the bodies, it is admitted by the officials, are entombed in closed headings or hurried beneath slate. Some may be recovered, but others may never be found.

The mine had been inspected only, three days ago and was pronounced in satisfactory condition. In the thirty years that the mine has been in operation no serious accident has occurred. The cause is yet indefinite, but I believe it was caused by gas escaping from the fifth heading, which was closed and was not being worked because it com tained gas in the sixth heading. The number of casualties is now placed at 125. No lists of the names of the dead can be given, for the majority of them were foreigners, and were only known by check and not by name. The only other way names will ever be known if the bodies are not recovered in time for identification will be by their families sending their names to us.
