Three robbers boarded a south-bound

the following particulars of the bold robinry:
As tho train drew up at Bellevua Station, Tex., three unmasked robbers took possession
of it One of them with a drawn pistol ordered
Engineer Ayers and his nreuian. ana v. Miller, another engineer who was riding in the cab. to alight, which they did. Ho then marched them some thirty feet from tho train and went thronirh them, taking all the Valuables thoy
had. While this was going on tho other two j
men went inrougu mju uwu. ,,u ul mu passengers in the rear car was Woking out of tho window and saw tho oporation with tho trainmen. Divining tho situation he wont into the forward cars, notified the other passengers of what was going on, an 1 told them to socrote their money. Tuis they did in various ways, glvln i most of it and their diamonds to sevoral ladies aboard. Miss Kato Haas of Fort Worth took charge of S8AO and other valuables. Mrs. Chambers of Potsdam, N. Y., received $5,0.10 and somo diamonds, and Mrs. Wittick of Carthago, Mo., took her husband's gold watoh and several hundred dollars. Mrs. wittiok was greatly liiconsod at the proceedings, and boldly stood up in tho ear aud asked if forty men wero going to tamely submit to such an on I rage at tho hands of two highwaymen. About $12,000 iu money and $4,903 worth of diamonds and other valuables were left by the robbers in their baits to gat through the train, and because they did not searoh the women. Thoy wore evidently novices lu tho business and went away with the paltry sum of S105, throo gold watches, tea silver watches, fivo revolvors, an I one gold ring. The robbers left the train at the rear end ot the sloeper, mounted horses standing near by, and rode rapidly away. Bobert Grayor, colored, was hanged at St

Secretary recommends passage ot tno mu n.r me itiinofaitinent of a commission to inspect and re
port "bu Indian affairs, which is now boforo t 'engross. During tho year about eight hundred Indians havo recoived title to land allotments,
aud a uuinlior have taken up nomosieoua. Congress is asked to pass a general law regulating tho allotment in severalty of lauds to Indians. The Secretary also recommends that the army appropriation act bo modified so that army oltlcers may purchaso grain, hay, and other pro-luce from Indians near tho posts. The Secret irv consid rs it desirable that a law be enacted authorizing Indians to pasture cattle on their reservations at a reasonable compensa
tion for tho benefit of the trioe.

four miles nbovo Bayou Sara, and was en
tirely destroyed in a few minutes. The fire
originated near the boilem, and spread with
such rapidity that tho flaniBs euveloped tbe boat before warning of i heir danger could be given ihe passiijers aad crew. One of
tne mates was ute nrai to ooo.wb nru iium
the river bank, and by thu time he reached
tlie cabm the smoke was so dense that ne could only awakon the occupants of a few of tho staterooms in front; and escape with toe rest of the officers to a place of safety.
All the books and papers m the clerks
oSice were destroyed. Capt. Muse was sick
in his room at the lime, ana was notified just in time lo save his life.
All the nassensrers m tne rorwara caoin
wero saved, with one exception. Those in
the ladies' cabin were shut off from retreat
by the flames, aud were burned in their rooms or were forced to jump into ihe
river, where onlv three were rescued.

canine from the bout, the steainpipc blew
up and was hurled three hundred yards in the air. The force of the explosion caused over twenty bales of burnlag cotton to be hurled high in the air, where they revolved several times aad then fell into the river. Immediately after the explosion, shrieks were heai d coming from the stem of the vessel. For an instant two colored women were seen standing on the gallery iast back, of the wheelhouse, and the
next inBtint they were hidden from view
by the smoke and flames. The first part
of the boat to give way was the wheelhouse. I t fell into the water and, a draft being created, the flames swept through
the center ox the boat. Those who escaped wore taken away
from the scene by the steamboat Stella
