FAST TRAIN HELD UP.

ROCK ISLAND FLYER STOPPED IN DAVENPORT, lOWA. Express Car Dynamited and Safes Are Looted—Twelve Men Do DeedCoaches Cut Off and Engineer Forced to Haul Safes Two Miles to Siding. The fast Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific train No. 11 was held up two miles west of Davenport, lowa, at 12 o'clock Friday night by a gang composed of from twelve to fifteen men. The express car was blown to pieces with dynamite, and the gang, after securing the contents of the express safes, fled. The train was stopped as it was slowing up for a crossing inside the city limits, within a mile and a half of the center of the city. The robbers swung a red lantern at the crossing, causing the engineer to stop entirely instead of going on. Three men suddenly sprang into the cab, two of them coming over the tender and shoving revolvers into the faces of the engineer and firemen. Hold Passengers in Coaches. As soon as the train came to a standstill part of the robbers stood guard over the passenger coaches, preventing any interference, while the rest forced the engineer to start on. They cut off the express car and hauled it nearly two miles down the track, and then ran it on the side track at Dale station. The trainmen were held nt the point of revolvers while two men blew open the express car with dynamite and proceeded to wreck the safes. The two explosions that wrecked the car were heard all Davenport, but it was a long time before the cause was known. It was at first thought some of the trainmen had been killed, but no one was injured. Large Amount la Stolen. How much was secured is not known, but it is known that the company was carrying a large amount. Train No. T 1 is the itirbuglr train that left Chicago at 6:05 Friday afternoon. It Is split in Davenport, part being sent on to Kansas City over that division of the Rock Island road. The train held up is the Colorado Springs express, consisting of a combination baggage and express car, two day coaches, two chair cars and two sleeping cars, which run through to Denver. The train reached Davenport late and was in the city nearly half an hour, being made up, and it left the city on time at 11:43. Crew Reports the Robbery. No notice of the holdup was received In Davenport until the train dispatcher failed to locate the train nt a junction where it is always reported. lie sent out messages asking about it. Within a few minutes word was received from a telegraph station near the scene of the holdup giving notice that the robbery had been accomplished. Within a short time the train crew, who had fled from the coaches, ran up to the station and reported. The police of Davenport were notified at once and a big squad was rushed to the scene at once on a special engine. It is believed the robbers, after committing the crime and securing the booty, returned to the city. Eleventh Hold-Dp for 1002. The Rock Island holdup Friday night Is the eleventh notable affair of its kind during the present year. More men were concerned in it, for previous robberies have been committed by bands of from three to five men. This time the train bandit fraternity seems to have assembled for a general convention. This is the third time a Rock Island train has been robbed since the l>eginning of the present year. On July 18, one of the company's express trains was robbed in Texas. On Oct. 8 another was held up in Oklahoma. The Burlington Railroad has fared even worse. On April 5 one of its trains was held up near St. Joseph, Mo., and on May 27 another attempt was made near the same place. On Aug. 0 the Burlington suffered a heavy loss near Savanna, 111., and more recently, on Oct. 13, at Hubbell, Neb. The Denver and Rio Grande was held up on July 15. Attempts were made cn Great Northern and Northern I'eciflo trains on Aug. 5 and Aug. 27, both being failures.

THE PLAQUE IN SAN FRANCISCO.

It Can Never Be Obliterated Until Chinatown Is Burned Down. San Francisco is not a little disturbed over the prevalence of the bubonic plague. The local authorities, nnd even those of the State, have done their utmost to belittle and disguise the seriousness of the situation, but that the plague exists to a disquieting nnd constantly increasing extent, a correspondent says, is known to everyone. The plague flourishes principally among the Chinese, but is by no means confined to the oriental quarter of the city. Within the past two nnd a half years there have been hundreds of cases, and no less than 65 fatal cases among the whites. During the past ten months there have been 57 c'ases, of which 28 have proved fata). During August there were nine cases, in September eleven and in October seven. Dr. J. M. Williamson, president of the local Board of Health, furnishes thesa figures. The doctor says: "Chinatown is a constant menace to the city. While the Chinese are permitted to inhabit their present quarters San Francisco harbors a constant peril. Chinatown as it is at present cannot be rendered sanitary except by total obliteration. It should be depopulated, its buildings leveled by fire and its tunnels and cellars laid bare. “Its occupants should be colonized on some distant portion of the peninsula, where every building should be constructed under strict municipal regulation. In this way, nnd no other, will there be safety from the invasion nnd propagation of oriental disease. "The day has passed when n progressive city like San Francisco should feel compelled to tolerate in its midst a foreign community, perpetuated In filth, for the curiosity of tourists, the cupidity of lawyers and the adoration of artists.”

Chicago Man Admits Theft.

BULLETS FOR BANDITS.

Hailroads and ExprcssCompaniesUnit* to Stop Train Robbing. Train robbery as an industry is to be throttled through concerted action of railroad and express companies, operating from headquarters scattered throughout the middle West. Of lute there has been an epidemic of railway kohl ups, extending from the banks of the Mississippi river over the great plains to the foothills pf, the Rocky Mountains and beyond in tlie lonely wildernesses of the far West. While the latter territory may be expected to be occasionally invaded it is the daring exploits carried on by the bandits nt the threshold of centers of civilization which have determined sonic of the officials concerned to make a decided and permanent stand against their common enemy—the knight of the red lantern, dynamite stick and Winchester. Officials of some of the roads directly interested, through incidents of this character which are of recent origin, have been spurred to drastic measures. The Davenport robbery of the fast Chicago, Rock Island and ncific train was the straw that broke the camel's back. The railroad company, in conjunction with tlw Euitrnl States Express Com-_ puny, issnqd a joint reward during tile day of SSJHMI for the arrest and conviction of the knights of the road who intercepted their train, and running mv< with the engine and express car blew tlie latter vehicle to pieces with a dynamite bomb. The companies are seemingly at the mercy of several roving bands of desperadoes. The purchase of dynamiteproof safes seems to but offer an additional incentive to tlie ingenuity of the cracksmen, and they never fail to let daylight into a strong box of any pattern. Armed messengers are of little or no avail, for refusal to open tlie door of the express car calls forth a threat to dynamite the framework of the car and the messenger first and afterward to blow open the safe. In addition to a declaration of a new policy to follow these robbers until captured. the Burlington road entered the field with an announcement that a dead train robber would lie worth to any of its employes. It was inferred by some w ho heard of the order that dvad train robbers would be preferable to live ones. “We have given all our trainmen to understand.” said I'. A. Delano, general manager of the Burlington road, “and also the express messengers, that a dead train robber is worth .SI,OOO to any of them. All of our conductors and trainmen carry revolvers, and we are encouraging them to do so. and to learn to shoot straight. 1 am in favor of a concerted action on the part of railway managements and express companies which shall have for its object the hounding of train robbers to the ends of the earth. "One tiling we ought to have, and that is a federal statute which will cover all cases and w hich w ill make it the business of the government to chase and catch train robbers, instead of being the business of State authorities. Train robbers have a wholesome fear of the government secret service, w hich is much more effective and better organized for catching criminals than the State machinery.” "Anything that can be done to bring this sort of business to a stop is a wise movement,” said H. IL Wi Hiatus of the St. Paul road. "It is getting to be a serious matter. I do not know that I would personally be able to advance any particular method calculated to arrive at sneh n result, but it is time the train robbing industry was destroyed.” “I think that anything that can be done in this direction will be a benefit,” said J. T. Harahan of the Illinois Central road. "I hardly know about the proposition of killing people, because it might, through accident, happen that innocent people would be killed. So far as our road is concerned, we have been rather lucky. We never let up on the robbers. Our operatives chased one man who held up two of our trains through St. Louis, where he killed a policeman nnd wounded one of our special agents, until he was surrounded in a swamp not far from New Orleans, where the robber took his own life in preference to surrendering.” "Something ought to be done when life and property of law-abiding people are constantly in danger.” said .1. 11. Barrett of the Chicago and Alton. "While our road has not been greatly bothered by train bandits, nevertheless 1 feel certain that the management would not hesitate for an instant to bear its fair share of any burden brought about by a concerted movement to eradicate this evil. I know of no bettor time to begin than right now.”

DEAD NUMBER SEVEN THOUSAND

Reports from Guatemala Earihquake Bring Horrible Details. Refugees who have arrived at Port Barrios from Western Guatemala report a terrible state of affairs as the result of the eruption of the Santa Maria volcano. The country for a radius of thirty miles has been made a desert waste mid every vestige of life destroyed. The loss of life is estimated at over 7.4MH), the great majority of the victims being Indians. Ten Indian villages, each with a population of from 50 to 500 inhabit ants, were wiped out, the rude huts being buried beneath tons of volcanic debris. All of tlie coffee plantations in the volcanic zone nre ruined ami their owners left penniless. The government has been making the most strenuous efforts to conceal the facts concerning the catastrophe, but they are gradually reaching the towns on the east coast through refugees who are fleeing from the country. All cable messages containing references to the eruption of the volcano nre rigorously censored nnd even the mails nre closely inspected by government officials. The greatest, distress prevails throughout the central and western portions of the republic and on the eastern const the effects nre felt ill the scarcity of money and the rise in exchnngc. • A famine exists nt (Jucsnliemuigo and 10,(MM) "eoplc are starving. Even- in Guatei. . t City, the capital, the inhabitants' are suffering for food. Flour in Guatemala is selling for $25 a barrel in gold, # tuid flee of an inferior quality is quoted at 20 cents a pound in gold. Charley Gump, a young farmer living southwest of Rich Hill, Mo., lost an arm in a threshing machine and died of his injuries. G. H. Neal, an American bookkeeper, Cordoba, Mexico, perhaps fatally shot by a Mexican railroader.

HANGED BY FARMERS

A NEGRO LYNCHED IN INDIANA DESPITE GOVERNOR. J Mob Hurries Its Plan When the Troops Are Called—-Takes Prisoner from Sheriff and Before Women Victims—Victim Protests Innocence. Indiana farmers, armed and angry and refusing to heed piteous appeals for mercy, lynched James Dillard Thursday night in spite of the efforts of Sheriff Dudley and Governor Durbin to protect the negro captive. The mob hanged him on a telegraph pole near John lemon’s farm, ten miles from Sullivan, in Knox County. Previous to his execution by the mob Dillard had been identified by Mrs. Mary Davis, of Sullivan County, wife of Milton Davis, and Mrs. Lemon as the man who attacked them the Tuesday. Both women are still in a critical condition as a result of injuries inflicted by the negro. The attacks on Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Lemon aroused the entire region for miles surrounding their homes. Men nnd boys swore to be avenged if the perpetrator could be captured. Posses were organized and the police of many towns and the sheriffs of all near-by counties were asked to join In the man hunt. Negro Arrested in Illinois. Dillard was arrested Wednesday at Lawrenceville, 111., after » fight with the town marshal, in which the negro was shot three times. News of his capture and of the suspicion that he was the assailant of Airs. Davis and Mrs. Lemon spread rapidly and at once rumors of a prospective lynching arose. In order to protect Dillard better the marshal of Lawrenceville, took him to Robinson, 111. John Lemon was informed of the capture and he hurried to Robinson. He Identified the prisoner as the perpetrator of the assaults in Indiana. Sheriff Dudley, of Sullivan, went to “Robtireon. secured the prisoner and with several deputies to assist brought him to Sullivan Thursday afternoon. The sheriff made an attempt to steal into town without the knowledge of the citizens. But the angry fanners were on guard at every conceivable spot. Half a hundred determined men with revolvers In pockets or shotguns in hand awaited the sheriff’s return and they discovered the sheriff the moment he reached town with the prisoner.

Mob Seizes and Beata Prisoner. Sheriff Dudley and the negro, accompanied by the deputies, came back in a wagon. As Dudley drove up to the jail the members of the mob ran from hiding places and overpowered the officers. Tha deputies offered resistance, but were compelled to release the negro. Dillard begged for mercy. The mob beat him over the head with revolvers. Dillard was dragged into the main street of Sullivan and thrown into a wagon. The mob then followed after the wagon and he w’as taken to the home of Mrs. Davis, where he was identified. Then the mob started with the negro for the farm of John Lemon. The mob meantime had swelled to enormous proportiona. —— —— • Mob Outwits the Governor. Soon the mob learned that an appeal had been made to Governor Durbin for troops to protect Dillard. It also learned that the Governor had ordered Captain McCoy, with Company A of the State guard, to leave Vincennes by special train and intercept the mob at some point between Carlisle and Oaktown. At- once the mob took means to thwart the Governor’s order. The leaders with the prisoner Inshed their horses and drove to Lemon’s home by a route that avoided the railroad. It took some time to get the militiamen together and more to prepare a special train. Meanwhile the mob drove the ten miles to Lemon's, secured the identification of Dillard by Mrs. Lemon, and then started back to Sullivan. A mile from the farm the fanners held a council, condemned Dillard to death nnd, in spite of his pleas for mercy, threw a n pe over a pole and jerked him into the air. When he was dend the mob dispersed. Protests He Is Innocent. Before his execution DiHard wns nsked If he wished to make any disposition of hie body. “Yes, I want it sent to my mother, Mrs. Anna Bursh, 14th street, Indianapolis,” was the reply. "I die an innocent man and I hope you won’t beat me with clubs or shoot me.” The lenders of the mob assured Dillard they would not torture him. “Then 1 am ready to go to my maker.” he said without • tremor in bis voice or the least sign of fear. He muttered a prayer as the crowd drew him up. News of the lynching reached Vincennes nnd the Governor's office in Indianapolis just ns the State troops were taking a train. The Governor then countermanded the order calling out the troops.
