1IKI.1) i" A TRAIN*.

ST. Loris, Dec. 1.—One of the most daring train robberies that has occurred for years was perpetrated on the .St. Louis & San Francisco road, almost within the limits of St. Louis, last night. When passenger train No. 3 on that road left the depot last night at 8:25 o'clock it was just twenty-live minutes late.

Ilnardetl hy Bandit*.

The limits of the city had been passed and the engine was just preparing to make up for lost time when three men who had boarded the train at Old Orchard climbed over the water tank and coal and covered the fireman and engineer with revolvers. The engineer was ordered to stop the train near G'.endale, and as an additional inducement to him to obey orders three men who were in ambush at that point opened fire on the train with ritles. but whether they succeeded in wounding any one has not yet been learned. When the train had been brought to a standstill tho engineer and fireman were ordered down from the cab, and after detailing two of the band to keep watch over them the other four men started back for the express car, in which was the safe of the Adams Express Company, containing about 815,000. :V

Forced Open with Dynamite. Messenger Mulrenen, who was in charge of the car, had observed the slacking up of the train and had opened the door of the car to see what the matter was. Suspecting that something was wrong and becoming suspicious of the men lie saw advancing toward him he hurriedly closed and secured the door just as the men reached it The robbers first tried to induce him to open it, and failing tried to pry it open, but the stout door foiled all their efforts, and after spending about ten minutes in this work they put a charge of dynamite under the door and blew it open. :. -y-.

Took to the Woods.

As soon as the door was broken the four men leaped in. Messenger Mulrenen made a brave resistance, but the robbers turned on him and after beating him into a condition of passivity with the butts of their revolvers began operations on the safe. This did not long resist their attacks, and after rifling it of its contents the guard was called off the engineer and firemen and the sextette of desperadoes took to the woods. The men were ail masked and had evidently planned their work well, as each one seemed to know exactly what to do, and but few words were spoken during the entire operation. l'fiHsenKers Warned A way.

During the time the train was stopped at Giendale some of the trainmen and passengers attempted to come to the assistance of the engineer and messenger, but the guard placed over the former covered each side of the train with their rifles and warned them back on pain of dcatli.

Besides rifling the safe of the express company it is said, the robbers opened several bags of registered mail matter on the car and selecting what appeared to be the most valuable carried it off. About' five years ago a train was held up and robbed at about the same place near Giendale.

Kohhiid hy Muilted llurgtar*. WICHITA. Kan., Dec. 1.—Two masked burglars entered the home of William Thompson Monday afternoon. Thompson sold some hogs at the stock yards Monday morning and took home $40(1 or S'IOO with him. At noon two men entered the house and ordered Mrs. Thompson to sit down. Instead of doing this Mrs. Thompson ran for a back door when one of the miscreants shot at her, the bullet just cutting the flesh over the shoulder. Then they caught, tied and gagged her, and pillaged the house, getting neariy S-lOO in cash and other valuables. It was evening before Mrs. Thompson was released from her bonds and her story made public.

Held t'p a StHtlon Agent.

DENVEK. Col., Dec. 1.—A special to the Republican from Albuquerque, X. M., says: T. A. Hrady. station agent on the Atlantic .t l'acific railway at Win gate. A.

A passenger train had just left when the men came into the depot and presenting revolvers demanded al! the money and valuables on the place. They were accommodated with about SI 00 in cash belonging to the Wells Fargo Express Company and the agents' gold watch. They then mounted horses and lied. They are being pursued by a company of oavalry from Fort Wingatc and will probably lie captured. -i:

EXCITEMENT AT

lNDIAXAl'OI.IS.

IxniAXAi'oi.is, Ind., Dec. 1.—An angry mob broke down the jail door last night in an effort to lynch Charles Ilisso, who brutally asxauited Hlanche Staton 011 Friday night and nearly wreaked summary vengeance on the villain. The most intense excitement prevailed throughout the northeastern part of the city over Hisso's crime, and an angry crowd was present in the po- 1 lice court Monday when Hisso pleaded guilty and was remanded to jail to await the grand jury's action.

A Mob Breathe* Wngeance. As he was taken from the courthouse he was followed by the crowd, but the presence of a large body of officers prevented an effort to take the prisoner, and the crowd vented its anger in threats and imprecations. The crowd followed the prisoner to the doors of the jail, and as he was admitted 'tiehind the iron grating several shook their fists at him and promised to see him before morning. This was regarded by the police as an idle threat, but the sequel proved that the threat was made in earnest and that there was more than mere braggadoeio in it.

Surrounded the «)HII.

At 11 o'clock Monday night several persons were seen lounging about the East market, just opposite the jail, and new arrivals every moment soon increased the number to a crowd. The jail officers became apprehensive of danger and telephoned the police, but before the officers arrived the crowd had taken p:sse.,s:on of the approaches to the jail and when the oiileers came up they weiv met with determined commands not to approach nearer.

The sitnation became more exciting every moment and the police soon realized that all the approaches to the jail were in possession of a determined mob and it would be hazardous to reinforce the oiileers inside. In the meantime the mob grew in numbers and by midnight some 300 persons were about the jail, some being on top of the one-story addition in which prisoners are confined, some surrounding the doors at the east entrance to the sheriff's residence and a large number in front of the iron door at the nortn entrance, through which prisoners are conveyed.

Mattered Down the Door.

The latter demanded admission but no answer was given, and after three calls to the sheriff without rcponses a man began to hammer do.wn the door. The hammer was a small one and made but little impression upon the heavy wire grating of the door, and the guards only laughed at tlie efforts to break it down. The liammeriug suddenly ceased and four men advanced with a heavy crowbar, which was placed between the door and the wail. Twenty hands secured a hold upon it and with one tremendous effort the heavy iron door was thrown from its hinges and fell with a crash upon the stone floor of tho entrance. A few well-directed blows w*th the bar broke the lock from the wooden door and the mob rushed into the jail oflice. In an instant the turnkey was overpowered and the keys to the large room, in which prisoners spend tlie day. were taken from him and the mob entered, only to find that ltisso was confined in a separate cell in the second tier and to which they had no key.

Oltlrera to the lte»cue.

When the announcement was made on the. outside that the jail door had been forced there was a general rush from all quarters to that part of the jail, and the east or sheriff's, entrance wns left unguarded by the mob. Taking advantage of this fact and having beer, reinforced by some twenty policemen, who had been called from their beats, the police entered from the east end and passing through the sheriff's quarters, entered the jail ofllco frdin a door opposite that through wJiich the mob had entered, and stood face to face with the angry crowd.

Tlie Moh Weakenn.

For a moment the din ceased and the crowd seemed utterly paralyzed by the presence of the officers. Then the uproar was renewed and the officers were abused in the vilest terms and every effort made to provoke them to some act of violence. That portion of the mob which had entered the cell department and were trying to open Hisso's cell soon learned that the police were in the oflice and this appeared to deprive them entirely of their courage. One by one they left the cell room and joined the crowd in the oflice. and as the last one came out the police pressed between the door and the crowd and prevented any further attempt to reach the prisoner. For an hour, however, the mob remained in the jail office bantering the police, who were largely outnumbered and who wisely refrained from any act that would lead to a collision.

Heavy (iunrd Around the At 3 o'clock this morning the jail was securely guarded, and there was 110 prospect of another attaek.

During the demonstration 011 the outside of the iail Hisso was very much excited and appealed to the oflicers_to protect him from the mob. He cried like a child aud declared that he was not prepared to die.

PRKIN, Dee. 1.—Tin- situation grows more serious daily. Instead of one out' break of the revolutionists the movement seems divided, one disturbance occurring north of Kin-Chow where one town has been looted, and a second and more serious uprising near Takou. Ill the latter place the mandarins have purchased immunity for the natives by allowing the rebels to wreak their vengeance on the foreigners, more than !i00 of whom have been killed by the rebels und their property destroyed.

Marching on rekin.

PEKIX, Dec. 1.—The rebel forces in Mancharia have defeated the imperial troops. The imperial forces numbered 4,000 men and their defeat causes the government the greatest anxiety. Reinforcements to the number of 0,000 men have been dispatched from Tien-Tsein to oppose the rebels who are marching 011 l'ckin. The government is fully aware of the serious condition which confronts it and every possible step is being taken to break the strength of tho rebels before they get within striking distance of the capital.

All riamteii in l*erll.

There is much excitement hero among all classes of the population, and the authorities believe that if they can inflict a defeat upon the rebel forces it will have a good effect upon the people of l'ckin and vicinity. It is believed that many of the people are secretly in favor of the rebels, but s.liould the imperial forces do battle with the insurgents and defeat them the malcontents would then side with the government. No doubt is entertained that the situation is extremely dangerous. Should the rebel forces continue to advance toward the capital in spite of the efforts of the imperial troops to prevent them it is feared by the foreigners that the whole country will rise and aid the invaders.

Flight, of MisRlotmrie.s.

Consternation prevails among the protestant missionaries in the district through which it is expected the rebels will pass. The local officials at Tsunlia. Ituvc declared that they are powerless to protect the missionaries and that if they desired to save their lives they had better seek safety in flight The missionaries at Tsuiiha have therefore abandoned their station and sought refuge in safer parts of the country.
