C[?]E TRAIN ROBBER'S EXPLOIT.

V. • lx..res n r.iglit Express, Snoo-ts j v.o Jien, and Escapes with Much Booty. ( hie ago News: The night expre. s coming north on the Louisville. New Albany A Chicago railway had just left the water-tank near Harrodsburg, Ind., at 11 o’clock, Wednesday night, when a m ir. armed with a hickory club en t*r >d the baggage-car. Messenger Ge >rge K. Davis and Baggagem inter Peter Weber were lying on the benches. Both were dozing. Tint stranger sprang on Davis and boat him over the head with the olu ’goon, and when Weber awoke I* oceived the same treatment.— Da • is reached for his revolver, but lax stranger wrenched it from his grasp and discharged it. The ball entf red the side of the messenger’s head. Turning his attention to the prostrate baggagemaster, the daring robber covered him with the revolver and ordered him to take the keys from the pockets of the on con ;cious messenger and to open the safe. The safe being opened the robber rifled it with his lef band while with his right he still cove.. 1 the baggagemaster with t lie revolver. Having secured all the vn’rrble money packages the robber tin aod apd deliberately shot "W eb t. k: ball entered the jawbone. Pnlk.jg the bell-cord the jobber, laden with booty, jumped from the train as sor-n as its speed was slackened. MV! er, covered o'ith blood, stagier; d into the *• noking-car and g-.vc ihe alarm. When the train i< pped search /as made for the robber, but he aad disappeared in J be darkness. The place where he I.n’t the train 5 • a lonely defile su rounded by

.oods, and a short distance from Bloomington, Ind. Tlie wounded .men were lett at Bloomington. In the morning Weber, whose wounds axe serious but not fatal, was sent •to his home at Louisvi le. Davis was still unconscious, and it was deemed best not to move him. The train kept on its way and armed at the Polk stieet depot in this city at 8 o’clock yesterday m ming. It consisted of the baggage car, two coaches, and a sleeper. The interior of the baggage Car was splashed with blood. The blood-stained cudgel used by the robber lay in one corner. It was a green hickory sapling three feet long and three inches in diameter. Conductor J. C. Chambers said that he knew nothing about the robbery until after the train was stopped, when he went forward to the baggage-car, and found the messenger and baggagemaster both unconscious, each having been shot

in the head. When the train reached Bloomington a posse vvas organ ized and sent back to search for Ihe robber. (Lying to tne darkness they returned without effecting his capture. Conductor Chambers said he had received a dis patch at Hammond from Bloom_ ington sa in g that Davis was dead-

O’ily's].so was found remaining in the s fe. Chambers d*d not know how much it contained. He did n ot think there was over $5,000 in it at the time of the robbery. Conductor Chambers and the brakeman went to the American express office early in the morning. Xfe*t carried the blood-stained club

with them, and told the story of the robbery to the president and the superintendent. O. W. Barrett, the general agent, said the sum obtained b - the robber could not be over £5,000. Superintendent Charles Fargo received a dispatch at 1 o’s lock yesterday afternoon saying that Davis was still alive, but unconscious.— Both men in the baggage-car had a good look at the robber’s face> Manager Fargo said, and the company was confident that he would be captured. All of the station agents along the line were telegraphed to be on the lookout, and the marshal of Bloomington weiD out with a posse looking for the robber.

Our Senator.

Evansville Courier: During the past week Senator Yoorhees has j been engaged in a murder trial at j Madisonville, Ky., acting as counsel for the accused. Hisremarka- ; ble abilities as an advocate are i thoroughly known to the entire country, and his eloquence has been heard at the Bar of many States outside of Indiana. His service in public life has covered a period of history in which many of his political contemporaries, \vliostarted as poor in this world’s goods as he, have acquired large fortunes. Let any one c,di over the li ;t of public men who have been prominent during the last quarter-of a century, and see how many of them can be named who are without the taint oi: suspicion. Unhappily they are few, but foremost among them is Senator Voorhees. Year after year he has stood before the people of his own State as a champion of Democratic principles, and to give an account of his own public acts. But in no campaign has he ever been compelled to make explanation or apology for his conduct. He has returned to his constituency at the close of every session of Congress with clean hands and increased reputation. Certainly no man of our generation enjoys in a higher degree the honors that come from a well sustained and unassailable record. Being wholly without private fortue, his salary as a Senator is inadequate to the expensive living at the National Capitol, andjhe is compelled to look to his law practice as a means of adding to his income. So we find him snatching a week from his well-earned vacation and crossing the mountains, not for the purpose of adding to his reputation as a lawyer and advocate, but simply for the money there is in the business. No wonder that the people of Indiana love this man. No wonder that* there are evidences to-day of a deep-lying sentiment in the hearts of the whole people, in favor of according him still higher honors in the future, than those he now bears. Greater than riches is a name that all the world knows, and yet that no man has ever dared to tarn sh with even the breath of scandal.

Editor Sentinel: In the Sentinel !of last week appeared an article ■ entitled “Wartner’s Sentence.” — We humbly acknowledge our unworthiness to unlatch the shoes of | the author of such conclusive reasoning—such convincing logic. What a lawyer “X” would make! In illustration, how boundless! In resources, how T fertile! In elequence, how r sublime! That article will carry to the grave of this martyr of the cause of mercy— honor, fame and glory. Upon the marble shaft whose top will be shadowed by the sculptured form of ‘X’ poising as the goddess of Justice with balances and sword, from whose keen twd-edged blade will dangle the scalp of “M,” that marks that spotless grave will be written: “Here lies “X,” a martyr to- the cause of mercy. In life, how like a god. In appearance, how like a elude.” Behold the Lycucrgus of the West hath come, whose eyes are as the noonday sun; whose nostrils are as a consuming fire. Give-us a rest, brother “X.” Let thy pen “rust” until Orthography hath communed with thy memory, and Latin with thy understanding.
