It seems that a large part of tho sales this week were to fill orders actually booked, and the rush of belated clothiers and dealers to get goods for tho fail trade gives most manufacturers more than they can do for a month or two. though there seems to

The train, after the shooting at Valley Park, met with another mishap, which is regarded as part of a prearranged plan to wreck and rob the train. Some of the gang forced open a car of dynamite that stood on the side track below the station at Eureka and stole two big dynamite cartridges that were intended for heavy

blasting in quarries and mines.

Fach cartridge was capable ). tear

ing'to pieces tons of solid rock. They were placed by the dastardly bandits on the rails, the intention being to destroy the west-bound California ex

press train and plunder the riehly-

laden express car and probably tne pas

sengers.

SIMPLY A MIILU'LK.

It is a miracle that the entire tram

was not hurled to destruction, for the

miscreants who attempted to wreck it nhieed the cartridges within a few feet

of the car containing ten tons of dyna

mite. Then they .secreted themselves

and waited for the train that was due

to arrive a few minutes before 10. 1 he train left St. Louis at s:3i o'clock and

was only a few minutes behind, the delay having been caused by the shooting of the express messenger. When the forward wheels of the engine rolled

on the cartridges there was

a TBintine r.xiM.osiox

which lifted the machine from the

tracks and tore the massive pilot from the steel bolts with which it was riveted to the engine. All the forward part of the machine was wrecked and
