RAILWAY NEWS.

Current Items in Hailroad Cn g§P cles—Local aq,d GetieraL

C. A. Hartwell, agent of tbe Vandalia at Casey, with his wife, is an the cflty visiting relatives.

The real sejthetic trains that arrive and depart at 2.-02 are, of coarse, Wilde trains. Those coming in too soon are ran by the railroad editors.

The car works turned out twenty-one new stock cars for the Vandalia Tuesday night, and then ehnt down. They will probably not open before the first of March.

The C., I., St. L. & C. management have put their through parlor-chair cars under charge of white conductors, and have given them instructional accept no "perks" from passengers.

Since the Spuyteu Duyvil horror the New York Central and the Delaware & Lackawanna roads have decided to employ three br&kemen on each train, the extra man being assigned to the special duty of flagging trains.

Tbe east bound passenger train on the Vandalia was forty-five minutes late yesterday—an unusual thing. It was caused by a cylinder head of the engine blowing out at St. Jacobs, compelling the engine to run on one side to Effingham.

The General Passenger Department of tbe Texas & Pacific has made a new departure. -Every man has become a Spanish scholar, and the managers have issued a beautifully illustrated poster setting frth the advantages of the routes in the Gould syBtem. The bill is nicely gotten up, and is said to be in very good Spanish.

Articles of incorporation of the Charles1 ton & Southeastern Bailroad Company were recorded at Marshall, Ills., on Tuesday. The articles set forth that the road is standard gauge, is to be built from tbe town of Charleston, in Coles county, to the town of York, in Clark county that the incorporators are: A. N. Bain, James Skid more, G. N. Mitchell, W. R. Pattou, J. E. Curd, W. 8. Coons and F. K. Dunn, all of Charleston. The capital is $300,000.

Indianapolis Journal: It is stated by a railroad official high in authority that more hinges on the carrying out of the Ohio railroad consolidation scheme than outsiders are aware of, one of the most important matters at stake being the transfer of the interest the Pennsylvania people hold in the Indianapolis & St. Louis road to the Bee Line combination, the latter, in turn, will, if the conMFidaiion is perfected, turn over to the Pennsylvania conjpany their interest in the Cincinnati, Richmond & Chicago road, which extends from Richmond to Hamilton, Ohio. The failure of the consolidation scheme means the defeat of both the above propositions.

By Associated Press. MESIBSirri AND THE H. & ST. JO. I NEW YORK, Feb. 3 5.—Vice President Duff, of the Hannibal and St. Joe road, say?: "Judge Miller's recent decision in the suit of the road vs. the State of Mis souri contains as much that is favorable to tho company as unfavorable, and leaves the amount in controversy between tbe State and company a comparatively small one. He says the situation is as follows: The Slate has issued $3,000,000 in six per cent, bonds in aid of the road, and the road has paid the,State $3,000,000. The road claims that the use of the $3,000,000 by the, State offsets the payment on the State's bonds. -The State claims that it offsQts only to the extent of the interest actually earned on the S3,000,000. The state has li large amount of 6 per cent, five-twenty bonds outstanding, now subject to call, or liable to be called within a very short period. The Missouri Legislature passed a law last winter for the purpose of appropriating this $3,000,000 that law required the state officers to apply it in redeeming theee five-twenty bonds. The $3,000,000 can thus be used, tbe greater part of it immediately, and the remainder of .it within a very short time, in extinguishing the 6 per cent, indebtedness of the Btate. I suppose tbe state officers will now, of course, comply with their own law, and that, in the meantime, there will be no claim against the railroad company, except for the difference of interest."

THE I. & ST. L. MEETING.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 15.—The annual meeting of the Iudiauspoli & St. Louis Railway Company was held to-day at the offices of the company in this city. As there are but practically two shares of stock tbe attendance was not large, being confined to representatives of the Bee Line and Pennsylvania,the interests which hold the stock. The following directors were elected for the ensuing year: J. H. Devereux.S. Burk and E.B.Thomas,Cleveland J. N. McCullough and T. D«Messler, Pittsburgh, and George B. Roberts, Philadelphia. Mr. Thomas takes the place of H. J. Jewett, of the Erie road. The following officers were then chosen by the directors, all being re-elected: J. H. Deverenx, of Cleveland, president Edward King, of Indianapolis, secretary and treasurer Russell Elliott, of Indianapolis, auditor C. C. Gale, of Indianapolis, general superintendent H. W. Gay, of St. Louis, general freight agent A. J. Smith, of Cleveland, passenger and ticket agent. The meeting was brief and harmonious, and as the reports of the officials showed, the road was as well managed by the Bee Line interest as darii|g last yeat.

Foll Particulars of tbe Most Audacious Case of Robbery on Record.

The apathy which had reigned supreme over local matters for the past few weeks wa3 removed yesterday with a vim, and tbe cccurrence, which cauecd this will probably prove a nine days' wonder. This wsB no less than the robbery in bread daylight of Patrick Shannon's bank, by which $1,500 were secured, the thief or thieves succeeding in making their escape.' Tbe affair and the incidents connected with are as followr:

1'

one

Between half-past twelve and o'clock yesterday while Patrick Shannon was at dinner, a stranger entered the bank 'on Wall street, and engaged cashier, Thomas C, Anderson, in conversation regarding the following advertise ment which appeared in yesterday's Express:

7OR SALE—HOUSES AND LOTS—Two on the corner of First and Linton streets: three on Second and Eagle. This property belongs toRnfusSt. John, deceased. The property must be sold at once, and there are just five chances for the five good bargains. Apply to George Planet, at John Awnstrong's, No. 10 north 1'i.ird street

The stranger was a genteel looking man, heavy set, with black side Whiskers and wore a black stiff hat and dark clothes. Giving a plausible excuse for his interest in the matter, the stranger questioned Mr. Anderson concerning the matter, and tbe latter came from behind the counter and stood near the desk while talking to the man. The position of the desk is shown in the following diagram:

E

A.—Entrance to the bank. B.—Desk. C.—Door opens Into cashier's office. D.—Cashier's desk. E.—Stairway, by which thief escaped.

While Mr. Andereon and the etranger were engaged in conversation with their backs turned toward the door, an accomplice entered and going behind the counter secured three packages of money, and walked out as coolly as he had entered. As he neared the door, tbe cashier turned around scd saw the man leaving, but thinking that he was some one who had entered and finding him engaged, had left. Just then Mr. Shannon csme back from dinner, which relieved the cashier, and the latter going behind the counter discovered the robbery, and announced it excitedly. Shannon grabbed the first stranger, who had not yet left, and accused him of complicity in the robbery. The man was locked up immediately, giving his name as Simmons. The bank cashier examined his money and discovered that the missing,property consisting of three packages each containing five bun dred dollars in national bank notes. The alarm had been given by this time, the police authorities notified, and search in stituted for the other man.

THE OTHER MEN.

The man who had gobbled the $1,500, upon leaving the bapk, had been seen to run up the stairway at the right of the bank, where all trace was lost of him. The rapidity with which the entire affair waB managed prevented a full description of the second man being obtained. From this meagre description the latter is a small man with a dark meustscbe, and wearing a stiff hat. The news of the robbery spread like wildfire, and a crowd soon assembled around tbe bank. Several remembered seeing three or four suspicious looking men hanging around Wall street near the bank, and before the robbery occurred. The idea became prevalent that more than two must have been concerned in the robbery, although but one directly.

SIMMON:).

In the mean time the accomplice arrested bad been taken to ail, where be was examined and searched. He gave his name as Benjamin H. Simmons, Cbicigo, and in his pockets were found $971.25, a gold watch and a check for a valise at the Torre Haute house, where he had been stopping. With this check an officer went to the Terre Haute House to secure the valise, which mght disclose something which would lead to the arreBt of the thief or thieves. New light ifas let in on the matter there which proved beyond a doubt that there was a

GANG CONCERNED IN IT.

The information gained there compels the narrative to turnback td Tuesday night. On the evening in question two gentle men came into the Terre Haute house, registered as B. H. Simmons, Chicago, and G. H. Ashton, St. Loo is, and were assigned respectively to rooms 4S and 28. Thi-t was before supper. On one of the early trains yenterday morning two gentlemen came in, registered also at the Terre Haute House, and by request were assigned one room. No. 55. They gave their names as C. S. Hunt, St. Louis, and J. W. Harris, Boston. Nothing suspicious was noticed in the appaarSnce of any of these men, or any connection between them suspected. It was therefore some«hat surprising when, shortly after one o'clock yesterday, one of the twain, Hunt or Harris, after' paying their bill, offered to—and did—pay the bill of Asbton, who was in 28. He also asked for a valise which tbe latter had in the house. As be had no check for it this was refused. After paying this bill the two left for tbe Union depot. The news of tbe robbery had reached the ears of E. B. Hamilton, and the description given of the robber cores ponded with that of one of these men, which created the suspicion that he was

THE ROBBER.

Mess s. Hamilton and Grimes immediately proceeded to the depot. While walking op and down the platform, tbe two suspected men came oHt of the Adams express office, and recognized the^ hotel men. Mr. Hamilton stationed himself near the baggage roodl door, while Mr. Grimes went to notify the police. The younger of the' two men—who answered to tlie'deKription—strolled into the baggage room as if in quest of baggage, while the other continued down the platform. The young man, evidently suspecting the cause of the presence of Messrs. Hamilton

v"

.and Girimes, and climbing ont of the back door of the baggac* room, he started for tbe stave piles ia the rear of that building, being joined by his partner, who had gone around the depot. Chief Russell, Lieutenant Vandever and several officers had l^y time -been notified of the facts, and they started in pursuit oI the two men. The employes of tbe stave' factory had noticed the men and it was easy to trace tbe course of the two. They had _the start, however, and they separated in order to hinder the pursuit as much as possible. One of them was captured on north Seventh street by Lieutenant Vandever, who overtook him in a buckboard borrowed from a lady. The man captured gave his name as c. B. HUNT.

Hunt was taken to police headquarters and searched. Upon his person were found $225 and a valuable gold watch. He remonstrated against being deprived of his money, and still more at having his watch taken from him. Hunt is a short, thick set man, with red "mutton chop" whiskers and a mustache. After being searched Hunt was locked np in one of the rooms in the second story vf the station house, where he remained all night, pacing the floor during the entire night

HUNT AND SIMMONS INDICTED. W.J The grand jury-was in session yesterday, and hearing of the robbery, took immediate action upon it, and returned indictments against Hunt and Simmons, charging them with grand larceny, and fixing their bail at $5,000 each. When Deputy Sheriff Watts read the indictment to Simmons, who had been -placed in the women's room in the jail, he showed no feeling, simply remarking that tbe indictment, which was against David Simmons, should have read Benjamin. Bunt, upon hearing of the indictment said lightly that he guessed "they couldn't hang him." Both Hunt and Simmons are reticient as to the robbwy. The latter has employed Thomas W. Harper as bis attorney. Simmons was locked up in a cell last night, owing to the women's room being occupied.

AT OTHER BANKS.

It seems that the gang visited every bank in town yesterday to find which would pan out Ihe best in a robbery of this kind. They visited the Prairie City Band, and Simmons represented to L. B. Martin that he had a lady friend with money to loan and asked what per cent, interest she could get. One of the accomplices was standing outside while tbe conversation was going on. They also visited the First National and National State banks, but tbe central location of theBe institutions rendered Ihem unfavorable for their purposes.

OLD HANDS.

11 is evident that the men came here for the sole purpose of robbing one of the banks, and are old hands" at this business. The two captured are cool and will not be likely to betray themselves in any manner.

THE BOOTY.

It is not known whather the two who eecaped had the mo^ey with them or not. They expressed two or three packages to Iodianspolis yesterday afternoon, each directed to "C* S. Hunt." It was while coming out of the express office at the depot that they were recognized by Messrs. Hamilton and Grimes. The packages were telegrsphed for by the authorities.

THE LATEST—AFTER THE THIEVES. About 5 o'clock last night Lieutenant Vendever heard that twj men answering tbe description of Harris and Ashton had gone north from this city. He telephoned up to Ellsworth to know if two such tnen had been seen in that locality. It was intimated that tbe two men were there at the time, and procuring a horse and buggy, and accompanied by W. H. Duncan, the officer started for Ellsworth. On the way he met Thos. Stewart, who told him that tbe two men had been there, but left a short time before, but that he had sent a man after them. When the pursuers reached the station this man had just come back with the information that a farmer named Orr had driven the two men to Atherton, to the house of a man named Amstead. To this latter the strangers had represented that they were in search of a good farm, which they wanted to purchase, and asked him to drive them up to the Fuller farm. Not liking their appearance, he refaBed to do this, and they finally prevailed upon one of AmBtead's neighbors to drive them up to this farm. After they had started, Harris and Ashton told the young man they believed they would go on up to Clinton, and he drove thain to Clinton Locks. The pursuers, had chang horses at Atherton and hunting up the telegraph operator, had telegraphed the authorities at Clinton to stop the men, and then started after them. The officer and his companion arrived at Clinton Locks less than half an hour after the fugitives bad' left it, and they immediately pushed on to Clinton. Here the robbers had gotten their supper, and one of them had been shaved. After looking Bround a man was found, who had ceen the robbers board north bound lumber train about half past seven o'clock. The jig was np as far as pursuit with horse and buggy was concerned, and a dispatch was sent to Chief Ruseel, who sent a man to Danville on the eleven o'clock train last night. The marshal of Clinton and a constable were sent on horseback to Hillsdale to arrest the robbers in case they should leave the C. & E. I. there and attempt to get on the I., D. & S.. Descriptions of the. two men were obtained and

tbey are sure to be captured, sooner or later. One is tall and heavy set, with dark hair and. side whiskers, the other smaller, with light complexion, and both aro well dressed.

The intense excitement created by this affair recalls a similar occurrence which took place eight or ten years ago, by which tbe Prairie City bank was robbed of $1,800. While the parade of Barnum's circus was taking place, robbers entered tbe bank by a door in the rear, and succeeded in getting away with $1,800 so effectually that no traces of the thieves were ever discovered.

The Reception of Bev. Dunham. A large number of the friends of Rev. S. F. Dunham paid their respects to that gentleman at the Hervev residence last night, where he had been tendered a reception by the ladies of St. Stephen's. Refreshments were served, and the following musical programme rendered by the orchestra: Eureka overture—,... .......T...E. Boettger Medley -F. Sappe March—"First Time in Llue"_._-. Keh Overture—"Poet and Peasant" —8uppe Cavatina From Ernani Selection—"Girofle Girofl*" W. Bonsgnet Overture—Cafuhrung Mnsart Selection—1"11 Trovatore" ..Verdi rrof. Dnenveg'a Reception.

Promenade Hall was completely filled last night with yonng people, the occasion being tbe recaption given by Prof. Ojcar Dueawee and pupils. The programme included ten dances, for the pupils alone, which gave them an opportunity to display the progress tbey had made in the graceful art. After this friends and visitors were allowed to dance.

Flurry on 'Change at Chicago. CHICAGO, February 15.—One of the most exciting days ever experienced on 'Change was that w,hich closed at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Prices were excited and unsettled throughout, and a heavy depression began early snd with slight fiuctuation? continued throughout the day, although closing prices were considerably firmer than the lowest. The failure of Kenyon & Co., who are an old and wellknown firm, involved very heavy interest*, and caught most of the heavy operators for greater or lees amounts. A gentleman who, until recently, has been in their confidence and employ, stated that be believed they were long on 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 bushels of wheat, and in his opinion the greater part of it was owned for the recent successful Cincinnati clique. The rapid decline prevented them from either closing out when the margins were exhausted or securing remittances to meet tbe great drain upon them. Tbe failure was the more disastrous, and had a greater effect on prices, because of being so widely distributed among membt-rs of the hoard. The effect was felt not only in wheat and corn, where the major part of their deals were, but in oats and provisions. Although the heavyjselling movement in all these markets was influenced largely by the springlike weather, wheat was demoralized by unfavorable foreign as well as local infiuenccj. The market opened irregularly, with some rales cent higher than yesterday's call, advanced another }c. to |c., then ruled steady, but after a lew sales began to weaken, and declined 5}c. from outside prices, the bears having things their own way, and prices sometimes dropping Jc. io fc., with very few transactions. The final close was 2$ cents lower for March and April,

Eiddere'amountedanxiety,

vpnl

and 4| cents for May, than yesterday's closing prices. On call there was a scene of rare excitement. Blocks of a quarter of a million bushels were sold at one time, and there were few sales in less than 10,003 bushel lots. The- recorders were unable to take down the sales as fast as made, end the fines imposed for an im-

roper display of on the part of to a fair day's commissions. Prices held up under steady hammering, and towards the close advanced smartly.' Sales are reported of 2,800,000 bushels.

Coffee.

ST. D)uis, February 15.—Tbe St. Louis Grocer has the following special cablegram, giving the weekly statement of coffees: '•Rio DE JANIERO, February 15.— Average daily receipts since February 8ih, 5,700 bags t-tock to-day, 140,000 bags sales for tbe United States, 62,500 bags sales for Europe, 30,000 bajr clearance for the United Slates, 22,500 bags rate of sterling exchange, 20$ lay down cost at New York of good firsts, abont equal to strictly fair, 9$ cents do., ordinary firsts, 8§ cents market very firm and weather unfavorable."

This shows ths'same average receipts as last week. Decrease in stock, 6,500 oags increase of sales for the United States, 5,500 bags increase of sales for Europe, 8,000 bags decrease in clearance by Bteamer for the United States, 27,500 bags advance in cost of good firsts, fc.

In 1845, he was elected to the Lower House of the Illinois legislature, to the Constitutional Convention which framed a new Constitution for the State in 1847 was elected Judge of the eighth Judicial Circuit of Illinois 1848 was re-elected in 1855, and again in 1861, and appointed by President Lincoln as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1862. In 1877, he resigned his Judgeship and was elected to the United States Senate for the fall term ending 1883. In 1872, he was nominated by the Labor Reform party as a candidate for the Presidency, with what result need not of course bo mentioned here.

Senator Davis' election to the Vice Presidency has been generally well received, his patriotism and honesty being ample guarantees of the successful aamipistration of his duties.

He Haa a Warning For a Visiting Statesman. Old Si came in yesterday afternoon and while polishing up the marble lilies about the stem of the esthetic editor's lamp, inquired: "Does yer reckin' dar's eny trufe in the 'port dat Mr. Blaine am sho' 'miff comin' ter the expizishumP" "I imagine it is too utterly true!" "Well, ain't got no konfiick fer ter git up, ef he do," said the old man. But, as he finished his job, he said: "Now, dat ar bizness notis in de tellergram am what took my eye!" "In what way?" "Dat the trip wuz unertooken jess for plezhur an' fer perliteness. sake. Dat soun'ed ter me pow'fullylike wun er dese adfertizin' kyards dat's got 'Please doan1 look on de udder side,' printed on the back." "How?" "W'y, we allkno's dat he'd jess ez soon be president nex' time ez ter stan' roun' hongry wid his hed ober de top rail too furram de troff ter git eben er smell ob de feed." "Well?"

"But Mister Blaine better tess his his lungs moughty well an' mczliur moughty close ere he ar gwine ter go foul. I'ze been ter menny er jumpin' match an1 I'ze seed hit time an1 agin!" "Seen what?" "Seed er man get back so fur an den run so fas' dat w'en he got ter de rizin' line hiz ham strings refuzed fer ter pulsate. I tells yer time an' space am de rite an' lef1 legs in er perliterkul race."

And with this outburst the old man slid into the art rooms of the sanctum.— Atlanta Constitution.

An Eagle After a Flock of Geese. A gentleman from Stone County, who has lust reached the city, gave tho particulars of 0 remarkable incident which he witnessed while crossing White River oh the ferry just above the mouth of Sycamore creek. When nearly half way acrftss the stream an enormous agle swooped down on a flock of geese, rmch were swimming in the river some eighty rods below the boat. The fowls, upon observing the eagle approaching, instinctively dived under the water just as the bird struck the wave. Bafflea in the first assault the eaglfe flew slowly upward, and when the geese came to the surface darted downwards again and burying its talons in one of them attempted to bear it away. The goose struggled violently, while its companions swam arbund it uttering shrill cries and the persons on the ferry boat watched the strange scene with keen interest. Once the eagle lifted its prey clear out •of the water and seemed on the point of conveying it to the mountain cliff that rose grandly in the air on the other side of the stream, but the struggles of the goose forced the' captor..downward. When water was again reached the goose rifctde a supreme effort and plunged below the 6urfacc, dragging the eagle after it and causing the latter to loosen its hold and rise upward with a fierce scream.

The eagle next attacked another goose, but with the same result, being compelled to relinquish its hold when its intended victim plunged beneath tho waves. This strange contest lasted fully thirty minutes, at the end of which the eagle gave up the fight and, rising, soared away to the mountains westward, while the flock of geese swam further down the stream. None of the flock were killed, but the water in the vicinity was dyed with blood, and the surface of the stream was covered with feathers for a considerable distance. Little Bock Gorrctpondence Atlantic Constitution.

Silr Garnet Wolseley, in a recent letter, says: "I am one of those who have always felt that anything great done by our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic is a family achievement. I only wish more Americans would come here, and more Englishmen travel to the United States, for I am certain that we have only to know one another well to join hands on all occasions as members of the same clan, the same family. If all the English-speaking provinces in the world were joined together in on« federation no Bismarck or kinjr dare firo "a shot in any part of the world.1'

It is stated that authentic documents have recently been brought to light at Mcntz which indubitably establish the fact that Joan of Arc was not burnt either by the English or her own countrymen, but that she lived to be a respected matron, having in 1436 been married to a Sieur de Hermoise, or Armoise, of Lorraine, and apparently "lived happy ever afterward."
