The decision of the United States Court of Appeals that worklngmen have a right to strike doe3 not alter the fact that most all strikes are unjustifiable and 'nearly all unwise. Senator Hill has received some thousands of telegrams congratulating him on his nomination for Governor of New York, but the one from President Cleveland has not yet reached him. It Is so everywhere, but in Connecticut last, where the turning: down of Democracy was as general as it was in Vermont and Maine. If Republicans put in the work it will be the same in Indiana. Certain sugar men have been Indicted for refusing to answer the questions of the Senate, but that does not affect the duty of 40 per cent, ad valorem which the Democratic tariff has put upon the consumer of sugar. During- the first sixteen months of the Harrison administration the receipts of the government were $110,5K,414 more than they were during the first sixteen months of the present administration. But that was before the Cleveland panic had begun. The Chicago gamblers have invaded Hammond. Already several of the most notorious keepers of gamblers dens in Chicago have set ur their games in that city and more are coming. The only man whom they fear. It is said. Is Governor Matthews, becausa he can keep the local officers up to their duty. In Illinois women's Republican clubs are being formed. If the Republican women in Indiana would take It upon themselves to Instruct their men folks to so stamp their ballots and fold them that 1 per cent, of them will not disfranchise themselves In the voting booths they will add several thousand votes to the Republican majority. Senator Vest says that the premium paid upon bonds purchased by the Harrison administration aggregated $t7,(K)0,000. As a matter of fact, it was $33,831,526, while the annual Interest saved by the purchase was &3,3."2,433. During the Cleveland administration $22,377,123 was paid as premium on bonds and the annual interest reduction was $32,832,8. Rut Mr. Vest stopped- with the first statement, which was Itself false. ' The Muncie Times says that the glass .factories In that city do not pay their workmen In full till the end of the season. The men receive each week a sum known as "market money," but a full settlement is r.ot made till the close of the season. If this is so it is a great Injustice to them, and a violation of the law, which Fays that the workmen in all manufacturing establishments shall be paid "at least once In every two weeks the amount due for labor, and any contract to the contrary shall be void." Japan Is giving the world an unexpected object lesson in the art of making war. Few governments In recent times have shown more energy and Intelligence in the business or have prosecuted well laid plans more successfully. The prediction of all the experts at the beginning of the war that Japan's success would be short-lived, and that China would eventually crush her, have been completely falsified, and it looks now as If the war might result not only - in the defeat of China, but in the dismemberment of the empire. A letter In the New York Sun from Saw Dust, Ga., says that the Hon. Dink Rotts and his son have quarreled and parted company. The Hon. Dink says the young man always was unruly, and the latter says his father has become so arrogant and disagreeable because of the notice he got in the newspapers that It was no longer possible to live In peace with him. It is more likely that the true cause of the Hon. Dink's moral decadence was the failure of the present administration to recognize the services of so eminent a Democrat as himself. In view of the affidavits of every employe of the Anderson street railway denouncing as false in every particular the story published by the Sentinel to the effect th?.t Charles I. Henry had threatered to discharge men because they talked of formiru? a union there seems to be but one thins for that paper to do If it cares to have any reputation for candor and truth, and that is to make ample apology ia- publishing so baseless a falsehood. If It does not do so it proclaims itself a public slanderer and unworthy of the confidence of anybody. If Its story were half true or if it were denied by Mr. Henry's rltnd without evldene it would h differ

ent, but there 13 no such alleviating circumstance. Every man in the employ of the company of which Mr. Henry Is president, at the date named In the Sentinel's slander, under oath, declares that In every respect It is false. The superintendent, a Democrat, In word3 which cover every charge made by the Sentinel's liemaker, denounces them as entirely 'false. Under such circumstances the only thing in honor for tho Sentinel to do is to make ampleapology. decline of the populist 3iove-me?;t.

The Hon. J. S. Clurkson, who Is thoroughly conversant with Iowa politics, says that State "has fully recovered from the dangers of anything like Populism, and has come back to its permanent moorings In the Republican party." To the same effect is a statement from the Denver Business Men's League, a nonpartisan organization devoted to the interests of Colorado. They say that the temporary success of the Populist party in that State and the erratic and violent administration of Governor Waite have inflicted great Injury on the business and credit of the Stat?. "Our people." they add, "realize the evil effects of this administration and are now determined to undo the wrong that was selfInflicted, and will, by the retirement of Waltelsm, restore confidence and again invite and attract capital and the best class of citizens." In Kansas, where the Populist movement attained great strength, and, as In Colorado, inflicted great damage on the business and credit of the State, the people are impatiently waiting for an opportunity to relegate Governor Lewelllng and his malodorous crew to the obscurity from which they came and bring the State back to the ways of decent politics and respectable administration. These are some of the indications of the decline of the Populist movement, especially In the North. It was Inevitable from the beginning that it should run lt3 course In a short time. The American people are practical In their politics as in other matters, and they do net waste much time over political movements which do not promise any good results, or which, being tried, fail to stand the test. Among seventy millions of people there will always be a good many men who are looking out for a short cut to the millennium through politics, but soon or late the saving element of common sense brings them back "from by paths into the highway. The Populist party is going to pieces, and its dissolution will result In a large accession of strength to the only party that has demonstrated its ability to administer the government In such a way as to promote the honor of the Nation and the prosperity and welfare of all the people. This, of course. Is the Republican party. WHAT FOR TUB AMERICAN'? As results of the Democratic tariff law one reads in the news columns of the papers that thousands of cattle are being driven Into Texas from Mexico; that Canadian hay and oats are competing with American In Chicago, New York and other cities; that Canadian lumber in large quantitles has reached the lake American ports; that millions of pounds of foreign wool Is competing for the now limited market with the now low-priced American staple; that foreign manufactured goods are advertised as the result of the reduced and deceptive ad valorem duties; that tin plates stored in warehouse are tut upon the markets at half duties all these things and more one reads of as coming directly to the advantage of the foreign producer through the Democratic tariff law. I las any one heard or read of any advantage which the American farmer, the American artisan or the American employer has gained by that Democratic tariff law? Is it for the advantage of the American stock raiser that Mexican cattle are crowd ing his market; that the Canadian farmer puts his hay, oats, eggs, potatoes, etc., into American markets which tlie American producer can supply at a shade lower prices; that the products of European labor are dumped Into markets which the prod ucts of American labor have filled for sev eral years? There appears to be everything in degree which the foreigner desires in the Democratic tariff law but what Is there In it for the American producer and worker? While Northern Democratic Congressmen are pointing with pride to the alleged saving In public expenditures achieved by the late Congress and carefully concealing the fact that It was made by cutting off the pensions of Union soldiers, the confederate brethren are more outspoken. Representative Sayers, of Texas, in a speech recently delivered at Marble Falls, in that State, boasted that "we have taken $11,000,000 away from those fellows who came down here and murdered our people, and when Congress meets in December next we will take $10,000,000 more." There is no beating about the bush here, no pretense of economy, nothing but a brutal boast that the pension list has been cut down $11,000,000 and will be cut down $10,000,000 more at the next session of Congress. As chairman of the House committee ca appropriations, Mr. Sayers is in a position to know the true animus and intentions of the Democratic party. He is a suitable mouthpiece for an administration the head of which said in one of his pension veto messages: It Is sad but nevertheless true that in tVie matter of procuring pensions there exists a widespread disregard of truth and good faith, and there can be no doubt that the race after pensions offered by this bill would not only stimulate weakness and pretended incapacity for labor, but would be a further premium on dishonesty and mendacity. It Is fortunate that the fiends who caused the murder of the engineer and fireman at Fontanet last July have been discovered, and still more fortunate that they have confessed their most hideous crime. It must now be easy to ascertain who were the ringleaders, and when this Is done the Journal insists that they should.be hanged. If men who would murder people against whom they have no grudge by causing, or taking the chances of causing, a railroad catastrophe In which scores of people may be killed, burned to death or maimed for life, are not murderers, then there are none. For once let

the laws be firmly and promptly admlnis

tered. Let no man beon the jury trying them who does not believe that the killing of trainmen by derailing cars Is the worst sort of murder. Let no weak emo tionalist Intervene and no appeals for mercy be heard. It Is due to the public and to trainmen In particular that this too frequent crime of derailing trains shall be stopped by making an example of the self-confessed Fontanet train wreckers. In that case clemency would be the worst sort of cruelty. Mr. John B. Castleman, of Louisville, who was a member of the committee of Invitation to the Grand Army of the Repub112 to hold Its next National Encampment in that city, is reported by a Louisville paper as saying: It seems it has been suggested that it would be a fitting thing to dedicate the confederate monument with the help of federal veterans. But this patriotic thought is merely a suggestion, and has no authoritative sanction. It is true this sort of unity between the veterans of both armies Is everywhere indorsed by sensible federal and sensible confederate veterans. But even all veterans are not sensible, and always the foolkiller's work is found not to be thoroughly done. However patriotic and appropriate Mr. Castleman may' think it would be for Union veterans to assist in dedicating a confederate monument, he would probably find that a very large number of them would object to It, as they also would to being deemed fit subjects for the foolklller on .that account. Now that the veterans have accepted Louisville's gracious Invitation to meet there, it is to be hoped the occasion will not be marred by any foolish attempt to .turn it into a glorification of the lost cause. That would indeed call for the services of the foolklller. Mr. O. O. Stealey, the Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and a resident of the Third Indiana district, who knows It as well as any man can, after traveling through a part of It, says in a dispatch: Take the Third Indiana, Mr. Stockslagers district. Mr. Brown carried it two years ago by about 3.000 plurality. My information from reliable Democrats In that district, and friends of Mr. Stockslager, is that he at present is In danger, and if the election was to take place next Monday he would lose Clark county, and perhaps Floyd. If he can lose these two reliable Democratic counties he can lose the district. Some of the most sanguine Democrats do not think he will be elected by over 1,500. This is splitting the Democratic plurality In that district wide open or 50 per cent. If the same ratio of loss i3 sustained by the Democrats in the other districts, the Democrats will only carry 'five out of the thirteen. It may be that there is more dissatisfaction in the New Albany district than the others, but why there should be it is not easy to answer. Mr. Stockslacer was fairly nominated as a Democrat, and can be depended uron to vote for Democratic principles, and the only reason that he is being opposed by Democrats is the general apathy and the general cussedness that prevails at this time among the Democratic masses. Generals Apathy and Cussedness seem to be in command of the broken Democratic columns wherever there is a fair vote and an honest count. The Democratic campaign book which Is now being circulated by the congressional committee shows that pages from 208 to 223 are missing. - The index, which has not been changed, shows that these pages contained Mr. Cleveland's letter to Chairman Wilson and his letter to Congressman Catchings. The pages were cut out after the matter had been stereotyped and-when' it was Impossible to change the numbering of the pages or the index. This idiotic attempt to suppress the President's letters is an insult to the Intelligence of the people, and is eminently characteristic of the party of false pretenses. , . III RULES IN THE AIR.

"If there Is a man In this audience," said the Republican orator, "whose wages have not gone down since the passage of the Gorman bill I defy him to stand up."

The great honors shown to free-trader Wilson In England ought to convince the tradesmen and laboringmen of this country that the policy he advocates is beneficial to England and not America.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 2. The closing session of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends was held this morning. The devotional service was conducted by Rev. Charles E. Hiatt, of Centerville. Among others who testified was Dr. Dougan Clark, who said that though much tried of late, he was still living in perfect security in the knowledge of salvation. The following per sons were appointed as delegates to attend the opening of the California Y'early Meeting In March; Rev. Allen Jay and Mary H. Goddard; alternates, Joseph O. Binford and Hannah L. Smith. The report of the Yearly Meeting delegates showed that the Eastern quarterly meeting was released from paying the delinquency on the assessment of 1832. Following are the appropriations: Book and tract committee, $100; peace, $200; foreign missions. $1,000; missionary board, $500; evangelistic and postoral work, $1,200; Indian committee, $G60; California Yearly Meeting, $G0O; Bible school committee, $130; home missions, $50; printing minutes of educational conference, $25; indebtedness, $500; incidentals, $2,043; total, $7,000. The following Friends were appointed to receive and distribute the printed documents: West Branch, Thomas Elleman, Ludlow Falls, O.; Whitewater, J. J. Dickinson, Richmond; New Garden, Joseph Brown, Fountain City; Walnut Ridge, S. B. Hill, Carthage; Splceland, Jesse Gordon, Spiceland; Dublin, Josiah Reynolds, Dublin; Winchester, T. F. Morman, Winchester; Fairmount, James Bell, Fairmount; Marion, Joseph Small, Marlon; Westfleld, S. A. Stubbs, West Klkton, O.; Wabash, Ira Pearson, Amboy; Vandalla, S. A.

The minute on the slate of society called attention to the fact that neglect in attendance of the meetings for worship Indicates lack of Interest not only in the church, but In the atonement. The following names were added to the missionary board: Robert B. Henley, Sarah Hussey and C. H. Parker. Returning minutes were made for the following: C. Douglass, Oregon; Nathan and Esther Frame, Jamestown, O.; James R. Jones, North Carolina; Rebecca V. Flagler. New York: Llndley A.

Hadley, Fairfield; Thomas Miller, Miami, O.; Wiiiis C. Bond, Plainfield. . The report of the meeting of ministers and elders says: "The church that gives little or no attention to the conversion ot sinners cannot be a healthy church. We are not warranted in using soul-saving methods of twenty years ago. Pastors are to avoid being lords over God's heritage. The expression, 'oath-bound secrecy,' should be sufficient to indicate the right position for any minister or elder to occupy with reference to secret societies. The inconsistencies of belonging to lodges Is clear In view of the Discipline of Indiana Yearly Meeting and the testimony of Friends on the subject. We desire to give no uncertain sound on this matter. The Church of Christ has more in it than any secret organization." The report of the committee on gospel services commended all those held except that of Rev. A. J. Nathan, the converted Jew, on Friday evening, when he gave some sharp thrusts on the Dr. Dougan Clark trouble, and one service held on Sunday. The epistles prepared to send to the various yearly meetings with which Indiana Yearly Meeting corresponds were read and approved. They were to London, Dublin, New England, New York, Baltimore. North Carolina Ohio, Western , Iowa, Canada, Kansas, Oregon, Wilmington and California yearly meetings and to the Friends in Mexico. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

A cell in the county Jail to-day contains a prisoner whose name Is more familiar to the world than that of many of the names of the usual inmates of such places of confinement. He is Martin Irons, whose name was made famous by the conspicuous part that its owner took in the great railroad strike of 18-S6, during which he occupied a place similar to that recently held by Eugene Debs, the labor agitator so conspicuous during the recent strike in Chicago. Opposite Irons's name on the register Is the charge of having attempted to criminally assault little seven-year-old Ronta Estrada. The child's mother is the complainant in the case. Heir to $5M Iimtead of $::2,000. CHICAGO. Oct. 2.-H. W.

Mrs. Elizabeth Walsh, of this city, and not $32,ouo, as had been reported. Farrow, who is a barber, was committed to prison for stealing three bottles of whisky. His release was secured on the strength of a statement that the prisoner had fallen heir to a large amount of money.

ANSWER TO PLANTERS

CARLISLE SAYS HE CANNOT CONTIME SUGAR INSPECTION. He Lnrk Both Money and Lotv, and Besides, Hln Acta Are Not Reviewable 1 Any Court.' WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. Secretary Carlisle and Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller to-day, by Assistant Attorney-general Whitney, filed In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia their answer to the application of the Miles Planting and Manufacturing Company, of Louisiana, for a writ of mandamus to compel the respondents to resume and continue the official Inspection of cane sugar production. The respondents aver that there Is no law of the United States authorizing or requiring the performance of the acts asked for; that there is no appropriation from which the expense of such inspection can be paid, and that there is no law of the United States authorizing the payment of any bounty to the petitioner, and, therefore, an inspection of his sugar manufacturing would be useless expense. It is further contended that the acts asked for in the petition are executive and not ministerial in character; that the respondents are charged as part of their official duty with the construction of the revenue acts of Congress, and that the construction so given by them is not reviewable by any court upon application for a writ of mandamus; that the Secretary of the Treasury Is also charged, as part cf his official duty, with the responsibility of constructing the appropriation acts of Congress, and so marshaling the moneys appropriated that the government of the United States may be properly carried on, and that the construction so given and monetary arrangements so made by him are not reviewable by any court upon application for a writ of mandamus. Oral arguments on the application for a writ of mandamus will be beard by the court next Thursday. CIIICKAMAUGA BATTLEFIELD. "Work of 3fark.lnff and Improving the Ground Progressing; Rapidly. WASHINGTON, Oct, 2. The Chlckamauga battlefield commissioners, Gen. Fullerton, Major Smith, General Stewart and Gen. H. V. Boynton, historian of the commission, have returned to Washington from Chattanooga. They have been on the battlefield for the past two weeks engaged with the State commissions m locating the battle monuments. They were accompanied by the Louisiana State commission; Senator Walthall and his staff from the Missislppl commission; Captain Carns, of the Tennessee commission, with the officers of his battery; some members of the Ohio commission, and about twenty members of the Pennsylvania commission. Three members of the Gettysburg commission were also In attendance looking over the field. The State commissions have been engaged In locating the positions of the various regiments of their respective States, and with such a numerous representation of both sides they wTere able to establish a great many points of historical interest heretofore in doubt. The members of the national commission report that the work of marking and improving the battlefield is progressing with the greatest vigor and the road making has been nearly finished under the direction of General Stewart, the resident commissioner. The formal dedication of the park Is to take place next September. The executive committee of the G. A. R. and those persons connected with the park project are in correspondence with a view to fixing dates so that the encampment at Louisville and1 the dedication at Chattanooga shall follow each other in such order that veterans Interested may attend both. All of the Information received is to the effect that the veterans of both armies engaged at Chickamauga are arranging to be largely represented at the dedication. The New York delegation has been busilv engaged in locating the positions of New York troops at Lookout mountain. Missionary Ridge, Wachahatchie and Ringgold, and as it has a large appropriation to draw upon it expects to make New York's monument the most Imposing ever erected on a battlefield In this country. The fiftysix Ohio monuments are nearly all In place and the remainder will be completed this month. The Pennsylvania delegation la progressing rapidly in locating p-sftlons. Minnesota has been well cared for, and from the photographs brought back by the commission it would seem that in beauty and symmetry of design her battle monument Is second to none yet erected. WITHOUT A HEAD. No One to Ho AKrlcultnrnl Department Employe. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. The Agricultural Department was left without an acting head when Assltant Secretary Dabney, in response to a telegram announcing the serious illness of his wife, in Kentucky, left the city to-day. Secretary Morton is in Europe and will not be back before Oct. 20. Owing to the anomalous form of the statutes underwhich the Department of Agriculture was elevated to the dignity of a ministerial portfolio, no provision was made for an acting Secretary of Agriculture during the absence of both the Secretary and assistant Secretary. In case Assistant Secretary Dabney be detained from his post beyond the 9th of this month it would become necessary for President Cleveland to designate some official to act temporarily, as on the 10th the statistician Is by law compelled to submit his monthly crop report to the head of the department, and it cannot go to the country under the law until approved by the Secretary or acting Secretary. The President, if he Is compelled to nominate an acting Secretary, can only do so for ten days, and in doing so he . Is limited by law to the selection of an officer nominated by him and confirmed by the Senate. There Is only one such officer In the Agricultural Department Chief Harrington, of the Weather Bureau but the President could. If he chose, designate some official from another department. Letter Carriers Must Not Parade. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. Acting Postmaster-general Jones has sent a letter to Postmaster Hesing, of Chicago, to-day concerning the Inspection of letter carriers In that city next Sunday. General Jones directs, for business reasons, that there be no parade or assembling on the lake front. He says that owing to the work of the carriers and the interruption to business an inspection on a week day is impracticable, but says that as they must, under the law, be inspected such inspection-should be brief and entail as little labor on the carriers as possible. Mr. Hesing is directed to have the inspection take place at the postofflce and the several stations without parades or any unnecessary demonstrations. Invention of Indlnnlnna.

ZACATECAS, Mexico. Oct. 2. Four persons were killed and many others Injured at a bull fight in the little town of Mesqulte, in the State of Jalisco, yesterday. Two bulls, both wild and vicious, were turned Into the ring at once. To kill these was a task designed to bring all the fighters Into action at once. The bulls were soon apparently worn out in thir efforts to elude or reach the banderillers, who tortured them by forcing into their necks sharp-pointed Irons. At first they charged right and left, but the agile banderllleros escaped, and at last the bulls stood at bay. The crowd cheered, and again the torturers resumed their efforts. A banderillero approached one of the bulls, waving a red cloth. The animal charged him, but he Jumped aside and drove the iron Into the thick skin of his neck. The banderlllero had forgotten the second bull, which, was upon him before he knew it. The animal caught him on his horns, tossed hira over his back and gored him through. As others ran to the rescue the bull raised his head with the banderlllero Impaled on hi horns and charged his tormentors. In the meantime the first bull had leaped over the barrier separating the ring from the spectators and dashed into the crowd. Many people were gored and a panic ensued. Men, women and children made a rush for the single entrance. In their efforts to escape three people were trampled to death and many others were Injured, some of them fatally. ARREST OF BANDITS CHARGED WITH CONSPIRING TO ROD A ROCK ISLAND TRAIN. Two Noted Terrors' In Jail nn& Others of the Gang "Spotted" A Railway Detective Work. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct 2. Lee Jones and Charley Frizzed were arrested here to-day charged with conspiring to rob a Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific train. They have been, under surveillance some time. It being known that they with others were planning a train robbery. The conspirators were betrayed by one of their own band. A week ago it was planned to rob a west-bound Rock Island train and to blow It up if necessary. This scheme was not carried out, and last night It was finally abandoned, the would-be robbers learning that the police were after them, lhe arrest of the other conspirators is expected. Since the attempt made about a month ago to rob the Denver express the officers of the road have been looking for the men concerned In the conspiracy. Suspicion pointed to a "long-haired crook from the Indian Territory" as the prime mover. Chief Special Agent Martin 1L Flynn, of the Rock Island, went to St. Joseph and was not long in identifying tht "longhaired crook" as Lee Jones, who had recently arrived from the Indian Territory, and who carried his character on his face. He was a blustering bully, with no visible means of support and with a habit of frequenting disreputable saloons and associating with desperate characters. Among his associates was Charley Frizzell and a man named Callaghan, who, a few days after the arrival of the railroad officer, was arrested by the local officials on a charge of burglary and lodged in Jail. It was learned that the trio had Instigated the former attempt to rob the Rock Island train, and that Jones and Frizzell had not abandoned hopes of ultimately gaining possession of the treasure in the express and mall cars. Special Agent Flynn returned to Chicago and on Sept 9 a meeting was held in the office of General Manager W. I. Allen, at which were" present General Superintendent Dunlap, General Manager Allen, Special Agent Flynn and detective C. C. Barchard. As a result of the meeting Barchard the following day took a train for St Joseph, and in the guise of a Chicago "crook" went to the Buffalo Head saloon, a resort much frequented by Jones, Frizzell and similar characters. It was fair week and the towc was well patronized by gamblers and other adventurers from the interior cities. Barchard found it an easy matter to gain access to the circle in which Jones was a shining light, and when on Sept 17 Flynn, in the guise of a Chicago gambler out of luck, arrived at the Buffalo Head Barchard was in a position to Introduce "Barchard was right in It," paid Flynn, speaking of the episode. "He was at the head of the table and Jones was at the foot. Frizzell was there and half a dozen ex-convicts were also at the board at which Barchard presided. Jones is a bad character. He drank freely and talked openly of crime. He was a hideous looking object six feet tall, broad shoulders and powerful physique. Ills long black hair hanging from beneath a broad-brimmed sombrero did not conceal any part of the most repulsive human face I ever saw. While in a fit Jones fell into a camp fire and his entire face was burned almost out of human semblance. He Is one whose criminal proclivities cannot be concealed. He is thirty-five years old and possessed of a liberal education. He boasted that ho would yet outdo the exploits of Jesse James. Jones hrd served two terms in the penitentiary for counterfeiting, but escaped all punishment for a long list of violations of the State laws, and seemed to wander at will through the Indian Territory. Kansas and Missouri with perfect immunity from arrest. This was the leader of the gang with whom Barchard was on friendly terms. Jones was always heavily armed. He Is not a dangerous man, lacking mental force and depending for his reputation on brute courage and bluff. A more dangerous man I Frizzell. who is also an ex-convict He was quiet and watchful, and sometimes appeared to suspect that Barchard was not all right. It took much tact to dissipate such suspicions, but the detective finally succeeded, and was takrn fully into the confidence of the gang. Barchard was told there was a deal on foot, and was finally admitted to all the plans for a rai I on the train. The party was to consist of Jones. Llndburg. Frizzell, Barchard and two-'goo. I people, who were to be on hand in time. Tuesday evening. Sept. 2T. was the time Mt for the attempt. The express due in St Joseph at 7:40 was to be intercepted at the water tank seven miles east of town. .As the locomotive stopped at the tank one of the bandits was to break the couplings behind the mall and express cars while the othe-s commanded the engineer to go ahead half a mile up the track, leaving the passenger coaches behind. In the cut the work of robbery was to be completed, four, men going through the express and mall cars, while one armed with a ritle kept watch on the engineer and fireman."
