IKansss City Telegram. The most intense excitement prevails In express oircles here over the attempted robbery of the regular east-bound express train on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fo railway atkfjeolidgo. Kan, The robbery was the work otthrae men, who made an attack upon the train Just as it wai about to pull out from the station. Conductor Greeley had ca led out "ail aboard." when two men Jumped upon the engins with drawn revolvers and ordered the engineer, John B. Hilton, to pall out Instead of doing this he reversed the engine, when one ot the men shot him through the heart, killing hint instantly. At the same time the sacond robber shot Oeorge Fad die, the fireman, through the back and he fell from the cab into the gutter. At almost exactly the same time the third member of the fang jumped into the express car and Jlred point blank at & 8. Patterson, express messenger for Wells, Fargo A Co., who was reclining partially asleep on a bed of blankets spread out upon his safe. Patterson sprang to his f set wilh a revolver In each hand and was again fired at by the robber, but luckily escaped unhurt and tired in return at his antagonist, who was partially concealed by some baggage, the express and baggage car being a joint fixture. The robber, seeing that the messenger was ready for him, lumped from the door, with Patterson in pursuit, but escaped with his two companions from the engine, as by this time the conductor and train hands were taking a hand in the fusilade, some fifteen or twenty shots being fired. It was so dark, however, that good marksmanship was Impossible, and, for the time being, the robbers escaped. The most intense excitement prevailed among the passengers when the robbery became known throughout the train, and dispatches were sent to Las Animas, Dodge City, and other points for assistance, while the dead engineer and fireman were taken into the sleeping-car and properly cared for. A special train left Dodge City at once for the scene, with a posse of armed men under charge of the Marshal, and at a late hour three men, Looney, Chambers and Dean, were captured, who proved to be the attempted train-robbers. They were taken to Dodge City by special train, under a heavy guard, and placed in jail. In the express safe at the tune of the attempted robbery was between 40,000 and $50,l0U, and but for the fight made bjfPatterson the robbers would probably havemade a big haul,as before he drove the man from his car the men in the engine had things their own way. The plan of the robbers waa that while two men caotured tho engine and made the engineer ran the train the third man was to kill the messenger, then rifle the safe while the train was in motion, and then all three escape at once to some convenient place between CooUdge and Dodge City. Patterson, the express-messenger, makes the following statement: "You are of course aware that the raid took nlaoe at Ooolldsre. a station on the line

of the Atobison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-

rv ty , iiwaii wu luuoa wnv v& nun -vw muv State line, between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. There is an eatlnc-houee In the station, and the train stopped there as usual twenty minutes in order to give the passengers art opportunity to get lunch Ths train was No? 4 bound east, Conductor Greeley, Engineer John Hilton, Fireman Faddle and Baggageman Johnson. When the train stopped I put oil some railroad mail -which I had, and, there being no express to put off and no further work for me to do, I lay down on roy box just in front of the side door, on the side of the oar next to the depot After lying down for a few minutes 1 dropped off into a doze. I was lying on my back with my arma folded over my bosom. Both of the doors on the side of the car next to the platform were open, Baggageman Johnston being seated in the back side door looking out on the platform. My revolver, a Colt's 41-caltber, double action, lay at my side I had taken it out of my scabbaid and laid it down that I might be ready for any emergency that might arise. The pistol lay where 1 could easilv lay hands upon it It waa about time for the train to start, when I heard the words: Come out of . here, you !" This woke me up, and 1 afterward learned that the remark was made by Conductor Ureely to a man whom he noticed getting into the ear. When I awoke I naturally glanoed down the car, and I saw standing within four feet of me a man with a p stol in his hund I was lying with my head toward the front end of the oar, and the man a standing near my feet I did not say a word; in fact, I did not have time to speak bef o. e he covered mo with the revolver and fired. The bullet went over my head and I oculd feel the fiie burning over my face. The man then fired a shot out of the doorway at the conduotor. Fortunately, I was completely self-pos-seesed, and when he fired I realized that a train-robbery was going on With the hope of making the robber believe that he had killed me. I unclasped my hands, whloh were folded on my bosom, and allowed them to fall at my side. My right hand f ell on the muzzie of my revolver, and, realizing that it would never do to allow the robber to see that I was abont to defend myself. I worked my hand slowly into position until I had hold of the pistol with my hand on the trigger. The robber did not notice this maneuver, because it was quite dark in the part of the car where I lay. Meantime the man was working his way toward the rear ot the car, evidently to kill the baggageman or anyone alee who got in his way. As soon as 1 got hold of my pistol - I sprang into a sitting posture and fired at the robber. I jumped up then snd walked toward the man. lie raised his revolver ss if to hoot again, but it went off piematurely, the ballstrlklng the roof of the car. When I shot at him a part of his body was behind a stove, 1 aimed at his abdomen, and I believe that my ball took effect About this time I saw another man who ptoved to be the "paT of the first trying to c imb in at the sidd door. No sooner had I fired, however, than he disappeared, and the man I shot at jumped out on the platform

from the rear side door. That was me last I saw of the robbers, I calculated that they would come up to the front side door, and seizing some freight I barricaded the door, so as to protect myselt and property which baa been intrusted to my care. Less than half a minute after the robbors left my oar I heard some shots at the engine. Three shots were tired in half as many minutes I stood at the front side door of my car, revolver in hand Just then Conduotor Greeley came up. 'Have they gone?" I asked. 'lee, I'thfnk so,' repUed he, 'but I believe our engineer and fireman are hurt' Then Greeley went forward to them, and coming back to me said: They are both killed The engineer is shot through the heart and the fireman through the neck.1 I then jumped out on the platform and saw the engineer lytag on the platform alongside of the engine. The fireman was still conscious, and was taken into the hotel, where I talked with him a few minutes." The Indiana Train Bobbery Albert Loomis, the express messenger and baggage-master on the Detroit express on the Wabash rood, was overpowered by robbers betweeu Itoann and Peru, Ind, and a large sum of money. Supposed to be about $15,000, was taken from the tar. The robbery was unknown to any of the train-men until Peru was reached. Loomis was the only one in the baggage, car, and not appearing at Peru, where the train stopped, investigation discovered him King insensible on the floor of the car, bucked and gagged and badly bruised and bleeding. The express money-packages were gone, and it was at once apparent that the robbers had had everything their own way, and had probably jumped from the moving train after securing all the money. Mr. Loomis was found lying in non-brine which had run from on overturned cask.

Mr. Ltornls, the messenger, makes the following statement: "After tho train had passed Lakoton, twenty miles from Peru, threa masked men entered the car from the rear. There was no other train-man besides myself in ths car. Two of them stopped to fasten the door, and the third approached me with a cooked rovolver and said: 'Throw up your hand?.'

' Flowers The lore of flowers is very dear to the female heart. Isr the squalid tenement houses of Now York a reporter

found that most of the women, who

were not personally degraded, had pots of flowers in their windows, evidently got at great sacrifice of scanty earnings. These flower s were carefully cherished, as though from them carae the only consolation for the wretchedness, misery,

and foul air of the surroundings. Thero

is something good left in the woman who loves flowers. The Women Who Adopt Puppies, As for "those women who prefer nursing puppies rather than their own babies," they are moved by the universal law of nature, which struggles for the survival ot the fittest and subordinates the inferior to the suerior animal. In their ease tho ditto renco between the puppy and the baby is that the puppy never will become a street flirt, display a voluptuous form to every man she meets, and so annualize him to tho extent of her power; a puppy will never simper behind her fan and turn up her eyes, like a duck in a thunderstorm, to catch an eligible young man. Pnppy will never be a dudo, or a defaulter, a fool or a felon, and the probabilities are that the baby of such a woman would be one or several of these curiosities. Then every woman should know her place, in animated nature, and if one feels that this is subordinate

to that of a dog, why should she not

step into it? Afr. Swisshtlm. Aaotiier Audienoe Xeireit for tha

Who Leetures to lib Wire. It is, of course, made by law port of a wife's duty as such to listen patiently, and if possible intelligently, to the evening complaints of her husband, whether directed against herself or the neighbors, or the society ab large. It is probably also her duty, if her husband .happens to be an "economist" or a "closet thinker," to listen without interruption or cross-examination to any scheme for the improvement or reorganization of the world that he may like to descant upon when the day is over and the family assembled for the evening meal. It is a duty in the performance of which wives play a noble

and self-sacrificing part in life, and we have no doubt that one reason why the

social revolution has been ao long post

poned is that so many of those who

would otherwise hare joined in it have,

by venting their wratb against society upon their wives, or at least by pouring their wrongs into their wives' ears, been

so calmed and quieted, that they have

lost over and over again all desire for a "new deal." No one who has thought much about marriage can have failed to notice that this is one of its most beneficial social effects. But then marriage only supplies a domestio audience, aad a restricted ono at that. An audience consisting of a wife may be sympathetic, but sympathy cannot make up for lack of publicity the crying need of anybody with a grievance. Besides this, bachelors a growing, if not an influential class nave not even t'.iis domestio resource, which cases -are not infrequent where wives fail to do their duty, and while keeping themselves within tho law, make it very unpleasant for husbands who undertake to entertain them with a tea-table account of their wrongs, or of the means which they would take to put down "monopoly." Bad wives have even been known to feign fatigue and yawn on such occasions, and in the slang of the day suggested that they are entitled to "a rest," instead of listeuii g with respectful sympathy, as they ought. Areu) York Evening Post. The Melancholy Third Bex. The paraphernalia of a pretty woman's toilet-table, and her many visits to her mirror, are subjects of ridicule among the strong-minded of her sex. Men laugh at them as the amiable signs ef a not unbecoming vanity. Those who look a little deeper into the life of that butterfly of our civilization, the woman with charms, will perceive that these things are a mer6 matter of business to her. Every morning when she rises she looks to see if she wakes as jtresh as ever; when she dresses she observes herself with anxiety - as to whether there is any giving way in her appearance. If thero is any, without doubt or hesitation it must be repaired. And, if nature is not strong enough.to Jnend the breach, then art must come to the rescue; and with good reason, for the pretty woman knows better than any one else the intrinsic- value of her appearance. Without it she would go under; at the mere thought of losing it she feels like a drowning person. And why? Because, as everyone knows, consciously or unconsciously, society consists of men, women and a third class thoso ordinary people who have no claim to any part onlar distinction, and who do not seem to have much sex about them. This last variety of the human species is generally composed of females. A man is a man, however grizzled and world-worn he may be; ho is almost always capable of rising to an occasion-; be will find intoxication in the society of a pretty woman though he be a grandpapa; and to her he is a man, and she puts on her pretty manners for him. But a woman, unless she has some attraction, some claim to appearance, some charm

all her own, is hardly a woman. She may be a nice person, belonging to a set of nice people; she may be distin. guished bjr rank or talent, or gifts of conversation, but she is ot the third

box. Men do not strut for her or make fools of themselves for her, or feol that; their eyes are helplessly attracted toj her, or that their feet walk toward her! of their own accord. She may be feminine, marriageable, and endowed with all the modest and winning in-j stincts of her sex; but, if she has no appearance and no charm, she ia out ofj the running. There is something ca-; ressing, voluptuous, beautiful in the, moro word "woman" when it is used to describe one who is of the cream of her sex. It needs no adjective. The favor ite words of the day "charming," "pretty" are inadequate. When a man throws his life, his fortune, his reputation away, and it is whispered that it was "all for a woman," no adjective is needed. She may have been no one a mere nobody; yet she must havopossossed that power which makes a Queen out of a nobody, and converts every chair she may choose to seat herself upon into a throne. She must hare had attraction. - Who can wonder, realizing the difference in life to a woman with appearance and a woman without it, that she should use every trick at her command to keep those oharms which God has given her ? Having known the brilliant life of the butterly, to become a mere working bee in the garden would be to her insupportable. Instead of taking life in both hands and enjoying it to the full, it would all slip past her. Lan-, don World. The Conquest of Fain. It is said that even the moat aoute physical pain can be overcome by a determined efflsrt of the will, and in a recent number of a medical journal Dr. Carpenter quotes several corroborative instances. Dr. Edward H. Clarke suffered from a fatal malady which produced the most agonizing pain; and yet he could determinate withdraw his consciousness, so to speak, from that pain by fixing ft upon another object, that object being the working out of his own neutral train of thought in the composition of a book. This is well known to have been the case also with regard to Sir Walter Scott, who, during a very severe and painful illness, dictated the "Bride of Lammermoor." The most remarkable faot about tho composition of this work was that, after his recovery, he entirely forgot all that he had done, the book on its publication coming to him as an entirely new work with which he had had nothing whatever to do. He only remembered the general outline of the story upon which he hod composed his novel ; this he had heard in early life, and it had remained with him, but of the working up of this story into the novel, while he lay on his sofa contending with paroxysms of agony, he had no recollection. Thus, in the ease of Walter Scott, as in that of Dr. E. H. Clarke, we see the effect of determined fixation of the attention upon a train of ideas in mastering physical pain. Another most remarkable example of the same thing in in the case of Robert Hall, a celebrated preacher. He used to go into the pulpit suffering the most agonizing pain, which was found after his death to have resulted from a large calculus in his kidney, with projecting points, the terrible suffering produced by which every medical man will at once appreciate; and was obliged habitually to take some of tho largest doses of opium that were ever administered. But from the moment he began his extempore sermon (the introductory service having been performed by his colleague), he seemed utterly uncon

scious of his condition. "During the latter portion of his life, which waa passed in Bristol," says Dr. Carpenter, "I was of ten his hearer, and, like every one else, was most deeply interested in his discourses, while at times quite carried awoy by the torrent of his eloquence. I was assured by eye-witnesses that when he went down into the vestry he would sometimes roll on the floor in agony, though during his pulpit address he had ceased altogether to feel pain." Will and faith together can indeed work wonders. Youth's Companion.

The Prices of Trotters. Each blue-grass breeder of prominence has his regularly printed catalogue pi stock, revised yearly, generally with a wood-cut of his best stallion on tha cover. Some, as Gen. Withers, insert the selling prices, from which "no deviation" is advertised. In looking over such n catalogue, from &00 up to $2,000 are found to be demanded for the younger animals, with proportionately more for older ones that could bo at once made useful. But when a horse has really entered the ranks of the great "flyers," there is hardly any limit to his value. One with a record of 2 -.30 may be estimated in a general way worth $10,000. From 2:30 down to 2:20, $1,000 may bo added for each successive second. When we come into the teens, and near the head of the record, juggling with gold and diamonds is a coarse occupation in comparison. Mr. Bonner is said to have paid $33,000 for Dexter, and $36,000 for liaiuB, and Mr. Vandorbilt $20,000 for Maud S. But this last was before she had made her great time; now that she has made it. you are told confidentially that a person stands ready to draw his eheok willingly for $75,000 whenever he can get a horse that will lesd her, and give him the distinction of having the fastest trotter in the world. But how does it pay? Well, it pays first in stock-raising; it pays next in the opportunity to take purses and stakes afforded by the great system of racing circuits; and no doubt even those gentlemen who withdraw from racing, and do their driving in private life, find it pays in a pleasure and improved health from this kind of recreation, extravagant as it is, which they might not be able to procure so well from the expenditure of equal sums in any other direction.

WHAT Alt HALF BELIE YE.

The Popular 8upriitloas that SopoeMW Kmp AUt There is Something remarkable and not flattering to human sagacity in'the tenacity of old superstitions. It is a usual thing for intelligent pefndna to declare that they are hot superstitious, the declaration being coupled with a self-satisfied air that proclaims their belief that they are a notch above then fellows. Yet f.hese same persons like to see the new moon over their right shoulders, and regard the incident with especial satisfaction if they happen to have silver in their pockets. Maybe they are adverse to starting on a journey on a Friday or to beginning an important piece of work on 'that unlucky day. They will carefully pick up pins if the right end lies toward them and as carefully avoid them if foe 'wrong end ia nearest Other persons, who scorn the lucky moon and the unlucky Friday superstitions, have a peculiar regard for the mngioal number seven, or any number which may be divided by seven or added so si to form seven. They prefer to live in a house which is numbered seven, wit'i seven steps. If the house is the seventh .in the row and there are seven members in the family, the charm is complete. The seventh hour of the day, the seventh day of the week, tho seventh month of the year, are bv them recrard-

ed as especially lucky. Others have a

special aversion to tho number thirteen, The finding of buttons is bv some con

sidered as a lucky omen. Other persons are superstitious as to dreams.

and still others as to the wearing of .certain charms or amulets to ward off

disease. Thus, a horse-chestnut in the

pocket is considered a safeguard against rheumatism, and a string of peculiar sunbeams will cairy a child rately through

tne diseases incident to teething. Fca

.cock's feathers are unlucky; the howling dog foretells disaster to his master's household, and to pass between the carriages of a funeral procession ia a iportentous omen. To meet a colored person, a cross-eyed woman or a white

horse betokens good or bad luck as the case may be. In fact, the most trifling

things in life are conjured into prophetic

!syn bols.

! Perhaps one of the oldostuperstitions, and one that smacks somewhat of sorcery, is the belief in the divining Tod. This rod, or twig, is thought to enable certain gifted persons to discover hidden springs of water. Relilable persons declare that they have seen the rod successfully used in search of water, the twig often turning so

quickly m the band as to lre ik it ;u

two. What seems remarkable is that

the rod never turns except where the

iwater is concealed. There havo been

fmany attempts to expla'n this mystery. jSomo believers claim that the wand :s inspired, others that tho rod is on'.y an index, and that the physical sensations !of the searcher communicate themselves to the wand. The most sensiblo solu.tioii. ia that of Paramolle, who wrote jon methods for discovering wells. He concluded that the wand turns in jthe hands' of certain individuals of peculiar temperament, and that it is ery much a matter of chance whether there are or are not wells in the places where it turns. The twig was . also used in ancient times to point out whoro stolen goods were concealed, to answer questions a la planchetto, and to indicate crimes and criminals. A Bible suspended like a pendulum has baen thought in somo parts of rural Eligland to serve the same purpose. The credulous say that tho wide distribution of these and other popular superstitions is proof that thero is something in them. In the meantime houses go on being haunted; ghosts continue to apnear; tables to tip; chairs to move without the aid of visible hands, and the periodical resurrection of halfforgotten bogies, is unceasing, notwithstanding the declaration of the average nineteenth century man and woman that they at least are not superstitious. Philadelphia Record, A Refractory Audience. A very sad thing occurred at a performance given at Laramie City. At the close of the last act one of the principal performers it instantly killed. It is then the duty of the audienoe to rise, pick up its umbrella and walk home. Sometimes, however, the audience is not familiar with the play and does not go home. It waits for more death and carnage before its awful thirst for blood is glutted. That was the case at Laramie., The stage hired man, who hauls the dead off into the dressing-room, waiting patiently, but the people would not go. In order to get the full value of their dollar, they desired to see the poitmortera examination. They could not go homo until it had been settled that the villain was fully and thoroughly dead. There he lay, with bis ear against a kerosene foot-light, sufferitrg, at $ 9 per week, and the audience absolutely refusing to go homo and allow the man to revive or to requiescat en pace. The curtain, though loaded at fie bottom with a telegraph pole, failed to conio down, and the legs of the avenger, aad other members of the troupe, fiitte.l past the space left by the unruly curtain, and the dead villain lay on his back, having yielded up his fife four times that samo week,' in the same manner, beside .carrying the heavy trunks ot tbe beautiful actress up two flights of stairs for her, in three different towns. As there was no programmes, people looked at each other and wondered. They knew that this man was, undoubtedly, dead, but whether the company had a fresh one or not, was the question. Finally two adults members of the troupe came forward and pulled down the refractory ourtain. Then the manager advanced to the front of tho stage, and, in a voice choked with emotion, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we would be glad to massacre some more of our troupe if we euuld.but we cannot afford it. In a one-stand town one man is about all that wo can yield up to tho cold embrace of death. Our printing is high, and wa have to pay $15 for the hall. Therefore we regret to announce that the play is now over. J'ou can go home in safety, and we will attend i the remains. Wo have every hope that the young man will le able to draw his salary noxt week, and that we may win hint nook to joy and health again. He pas e. good constitution, a fair appetite and we feel ltko trusting it all to the future. We regret to see you go, but as the janitor is now blowing out the lights nd it is getting pretty well along into tho shank of thu evening we must say good-bye to yon, hoping that during our absenoa tlm Laramie Opera House Company will decide to assess it stockholders, purchase some more wicks for the footlights, put ths old piano out of its misery and stick another pair of overalls into the broksn window of the lad-.e dressing-room, so that tho actresses who visit your town will feel more set?regrated, as it were, and separated from the great, vulgar world."
