A Ligonierité and Three Rural Chaps Engage in the Plot, THEIR PURPOSES BEING KNOWN, THE AT- * TEMPT PROVES A SIGNAL FAILURE, R“Mfifig in Battered Heads, Capture and Im- - prispnment. R

Billman, Christie, Hathaway and Latta in Limbg. Ligonier has been in a state of excitement since Saturday morning over the announcement that a gang of desperate young men from this vicinity had made an attempt to rob the express car on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Rajlroad last Friday night. The news spread like wild-te; and constituted the topic of conversationin the town and surrounding country. Asthe particulars of the exciting event are known only to those who were personal witnesses, and these holding forth at Toledo, we are obliged to rely upon their version as 'commumicated to the Chicago Sunday Times, ‘as follows: I

PLOT TO ROB AN EXPRESS CAR. TOLEDO, 0., June 23d.—The second attempt within a year and a half was made last night to rob the United States Express Company’s car on the same road; and, as in that case, the at- | tempt was successfully foiled and the | robbers captured, and by almost the 3 identical officers who figured in the i other affair. The other took place near | Wauseon, and the one last night- on train No. 6, on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, a short distance: this side of Ligonier, Indiana. For some 1 months past,’at intervals, on the-line of the Lake Shore road- betweea Elkhart, Ligonier and Kendallvills;.petty depredations have occurred, and the railroad authorities 'have beem on the qui vive to bring the depredators to justice.” Af these points traims hawve been annoyed by tramps more, perhaps, than any other points along the. line, and consequently increased vigilance was given to this part of the road by the company’s detectives. Several weeks ago the railroad = auwthorities learned, through the medium, it is surmised, of some one in the confidence ' of the desperadoes, that a raid on the express car was in contemplation.— Superintendent Calvin Cone; whose headquarters are in this city, was immediately informed, and through his exertions and those of the railroad authorities the raid was frustrated. Mr. W. R. BreeZzie, route agent of the company, traveling under the instructions of thg superintendent, has been on; constant duty over the threatened portion of the line for the past ten days, his-duties demanding increasing vigilance, with but few and brief intervals for rest. He cautioned every express messenger to be more than ordinarily vigilant, after leaving. Elkhart, eastward; and he himself was particularly watchful at every point.. At Ligonier, some eight or ten days ago, the fcur men who were captured last night were seen to be about the train on its arrival at that point, and their manner indicated that they were upon no legitimate business, Mr. Breezie was telegra,phed to come at once to- Ligonier, and the circumstances .that seemed to be developing at that time led tothe belief that a night attack on the express car was probably being planned. The officers are reticent, as a matter of course, on that point; but your .correspondent is confident that the job was a “give away.” At any rate, circumstances developed rapidly, and word was sent to Chief of Police Purdy, who was cognizant of the affair, that his services would be required, probably last Thursday night. ‘He has had a squad of picked men ready to go at a moment’s notice night or day, for a week or more, in accordanee with telegram. The chief himself, with Sergt. O’Sullivan, Detectives Cavanaugh and Tibbitts, of the railwoad force, Officer - Brown and Transfer Agent Hart, of the Lake Shore road, boarded the 11:05 train for the westlast Thursday, anticipating the raid' @hat night. They took the return train, reaching here at 2:40 yesterday morning, without anything occurring that night.— However, an attempt was made to enter the express car; for some one tried the lock, evidently, with a key, but was not puccessful. Mr. Breezie continued on/the ground, however, and telegraphed that he thought it best that the officers should returm again on the following night, as in all probability the attempt would be repeated. Yesterday morning the same force again took the train westward as far as LaPorte. Again they bearded the eastward train, No. 6, and secreted themselves in the express ear. The officers went out as far as LaPorte, as they were confident no one knew them. Conductor D..C. Smith, whiohad charge of the train, was in the secret, and so arranged it that the officezs were enabled to board the train without being seen. On the right of tke door through which the robbers were expected to enter was concealed Detective Cavanaugh, behind a pile of boxes, and on the left Tibbitis. and Brown. Chief Purdy, O’Sullivaa:and Hart were'concealed at the other end, so as to .confront the robbers, and Express Messenger Carleton was busy at work in the open space in the centre of the car. The express matter was so arranged that the passage wasleft only sufficient1y wide to compel the robbers to pass in singly from the door to the centre of the car, where they expected to have a struggle with the messenger. Chief Purdy graphically tells. the story of what then transpired: :

.THE CHIEF’S STORY. “Nothing transpired teo arouse suspicion until the train was leaving Ligonier, when four memn leaped on the platform. < Every man’s breath came quick, for we knew then that the attack was shortly to be made. The train got under way, and was about two miles from the station, romning at full speed. Again akey was inserted in the lock, and while every man. was straining his eyes and ears, the door, first slowly, then quickly, 3awung open, when four powerful, strapping fellows, two of them with blackened faces, and two wearing masks, leaped into the car. The messenger was quietly logking over his bills. The robbers quickly and quietly passed up the -aisle that had been left for them, and Cavanaugh as quietly and quickly .shut the door behind them and fastened it. They did not notice the move. The first robber to enter reached Carleton, and, routhi laying his hand on hiz&shoulder. said, ‘Hello’ Carleton looked up, and four ugly-looking revolvers were thrust:iuto his face. He did not change a feature, but regarded them as coolly as though grira death was not threatening him from their black muzzles. The man with his ‘hand on Carletipn’s shoulder was about to pull the ropes from his pocket with which to bind and gag him, ‘when I gave our agreed signal, and we all sprang from our places of concealment. I shouted ‘Surrender!’ The robbers Brows, Cavanaug Snd TibbiHa mter: 4 ", Al \‘_m_ nl‘rupted them. We each of us seleeted a man, and pounced upon him. It

was one of the most desperate fl%fis 1 ever witnessed. The desperadoes knew they were contending for liberty, and fought like tigers. We did not desire to kill them, and, although each of us had a cocked revolver in one hand, we only used our billies, and we first knocked the revolvers out of their hands, and then clinched them. They were powerful men, and gave us a desperate struggle. It was the first time since I was on ithe police force that T cocked a revolver intending to use it. One of the robbers, Latta, was the most desperate man I ever saw. Two officers bore him to the floor, but he struggled to his feet, shook them off, and regaining possession of his revolver, endeavored to cock it, when it was knocked out of his hand by Sergt. O’ Sullivan, and be was then secured.”

‘“Within five minutes the struggle was over, and every one of the thieves was secured, and, strange to say, not one of us was injured, and Latta was the only robber who received any seri;msdwounds, mostly blows about the ea .” | 2 ; .

There were seven or eight passenger coaches in the train filled with passengers; but not & soul of them knew of the terrible battle that was going ou in the express car, while the train was whirling along at lightning speed: The prisoners were brought to this city. arrived at 2:40, and locked up in the central station. Their names are: Milton 1. Latta, a farmer; A. C. Billman, fory merly a conductor on the Lake Shore; Emory Christie, at one time a brakeman, but now a farm laborer; and Frank L. Hathaway. . They were all-take:n back to Noble county, Indiana. to-(lay, on the noon train, handcuffed, under charge of Detectives Tibbitts and Cavanaugh. : - Latta is a tall, raw-boned man, awk‘wardly’ dressed, and is the worst looking one in the crowd. He vore a but-ton-hole bouquet, and as he came out of the station on the way to the depot, mutte red, “Disgraced, disgraced forever.” - He was handcuffed to HHathaway, a middle-aged, heavy-set man, with dark hair, mustache and goatee, and bearing in his countenance evidences of dissipation. ILatta is a nephew of Dr. Latta, a prominentscitizen of Goshen. Christie is a small man, with light hair, red face and quite talkative. Billman is the typical square-shoulder-ed railroader. Billman and Latta have families, the others have not. - Christie is the only one who would talk. He said the thing was planned eighteen months ago, but it was not ‘until the present time that they could bring themselves to make the attempt. He says: “When I entered the car there last night, and.saw the messenger sitting so unconcerned, I knew: we were caught. If there had not been ‘more oflicers than there were of us, | we would have got away.”

A MESSENGER’S VERSION. Mr. E. A. Lacy, messenger for the Unuited States Express company, returned last evening from his regulan run to Toledo over the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad. He furnished a 7'imes reporter with the facts, regarding the attempt of highwayimen to plunder the express car attached to the passenger train which left -Chicago Friday evening at 5:15 o’cloc k. R

Mr.. Lacy did not know, or if he knew he did not care to tell, now much treasiare there was in the ear, but from partic2s. connected with the railroad the r eporter learned that there was not lar from $200,000 in the car. Of this (mly some $lB,OOO or $20,000 was in currency. The balance was coin, in tr: msit from San Francisco to New York . It was packed in boxes containi 1g $20,000 each. The messenger in ch arge of this money was A. Carlton. As the train was leaving Ligonier, four men mounted the front platform of the express car, next the mail car. This was at 11 o’clock at night. They - had little difficulty in gaining, an en trance to the express car, the door ()f which was fastened by a spring lock. 'The messenger sat with bis back to the door. Therobberssprang: in tog ether. The leader,a man named Hath.away, seized the messenger by the collar and thrust the muzzle of a pistol into his ear, saluting him with “Hell o, ¢ld boy!” Justatthat moment there was an uprising in the car. Four men sprang with the agility of pantliers from behind boxes of freight. Befor'e Hathaway could say more than “Hello, old boy!” he was felled to the floor by a blow from a slung-shot. Simultaneously an attack was made 'on the other three robbers, whose names are Latta, Christy, and Billman. Hathaway had been stunned by the blow on the head, and Christy and Billman made but little resistance, but Latta, who is a plucky brute with a superabundance of muscle, showed fig'ht, and was conquered by the hardest work. His scalp was laid open in several places, and he bled like a porker. The four robbers were handcuffed and made to lie upon the floor of the car until the train reached Toledo, at 2:40 o’clock on yesterday morning. At 11 on yesterday forenoon they were put aboard the wéstern-bound train and brought to Albion, Noble county, Ind., where they will.be tried. The reader will perceive that the at‘tempt to rob the car had been anticipated, and prepardtions made to give the plunderers a warm reception. The men who surprised and overpowered _the robbers were Capt. Purdy, chief of I police of Toledo; Tim Hart, depot agent at same place, and Messrs. Tibbitts and Cavanaugh, railway detec‘tives. They.'had come west’ Friday .morning, two getting ofi at Elkhart, and two at LaPorte, and all four returning on the evening train. They had got wind of the contemplated raid on the car; indeed, they had known of ‘the design of the robbers for some ‘two weeks, and had been expecting the attempt forthree or four nights before it was actually made. Of course, the.ordinary precautions against such raids had been dispensed with. The door was insecurely fastened on purpose, and the messenger took his seat on the box and cooly awaited the appearance: of the robbers. The man Billman was formerly an employe of the Lake Shore and Michigan | Southern Railroad company, and had charge of a freight train; in fact, the whole -gang have been, at different times, employed by the railroad company, but were discovered to be dishonest and incompetent and got their walking-pa-pers. ;

~The Toledo Blade of yesterday, in ‘giving an account of the trial and conviction of the would-be express robbers, goes out of the way to slander the people of this county by saying that “Noble ¢ounty has still the honor “of being the place of residence and “rendezvous of a hard gang of men, “and the officers were somewhat fear“ful of a mob.” That there are disreputable characters in this county is doubtless true, but the same remark would apply to almost every other locality in the country. As to the alleged danger of a mob we are enabled to say upon good authority that there is no truth- whatever in the allegation. It is true that intense indignation was manifested at the part taken by “detective” Hathaway, but no sympathy has been expressed for any one connected with the attempted robbery. On the contrary, even their own relatives have expressed satisfaction that these lawless fellows have come fo grief and that well-merited punishment has been inflicted upon them,

~Weare in receipt of four communications for which we cannot possibly find room in this issue. :

~ ALBION RUMMAGES. . Last Saturday at 11 o’clock we received a telegram from Toledo, sent by J. G Purdx,f Chief of Police, which was as follows: “Have four express robbers. Meet us at Brimfield with conveyance.” At 1 o’clock we started for the Lake Shore depotat that place, but not until after examining our “locks” carefully. When we reached Brimfield we found the people considerably excited and with some anxiety awaiting tire arrival of the 2:35 train. We were not much interested in the affair until the train had come In,and from it were taken Milton Latta, Al Billman, Emory Christie, and Frank Hathaway and presented tous as the robbers. Then our surprise ran up to 99° in the shade, and we could hardly believe that what we saw was true. But signs of battle were made visible by spots of blood upon ‘t‘?leil‘ shirt fronts, and Latta had a terrible cut. upon his forehead. 'r On Saturday evening the boys were committed to jail, where they remained until Tuesday at 1 o’clock, at which time their-trial commenced. Great excitement engued and the court-room ‘was packed to overflowing with spectators. Frank Hathaway was first put apon the stand, and from the answers to the questions put to him it was madé clear that he was the traitor in camp who had : betrayed his friends in so cowardly a manner. The next witness upon the st@nd was MElton Latta.. To thequestion, “Where do you reside ?” -he answered, “Just where I would be now if I°could get home.” Latta also stated that Frank Hathaway had said that “by the humping Jesus Christ, the next: time we’ll go in if we have to fight in, eat in, chaw in, or pound in.” This speech was mad@e on the strength that the boys were about to abandon the enterprise. Latta’s testimony was given in a clear, bold tone, and, as we believe, in strict conformity with ‘truth and honesty, in which he undoubtedly showed HHathaway in his true colors. '

After Latta, Emory Christie was brought upon the stand. His festimony was given with much more freedom than was expected, and'in the main was the'same as that given by Latta. = . ‘ &

Hathaway ' 'was now put upon the stand the second time, to give testimony concerning a certain key, which at the first sitting he swere he had with him upon a certain Thursday evening, but upon his second swearing he denied having that key on that evening. = Before leaving the -stand the second time, Hathaway ‘corrected several things upon which he had at first given false impressions. * Al Billman was then questioned, but his answers were not; quite so clear and satisfactory as those of Latta and Christie. Upon this they al\ agreed, “that they were not to enter the car upon any terms, lest they find the door unlocked.” “From the testimony of the witnesses, we deem it a well established faet that Al. Billman was the first to speak of the schemé ‘which proved so fruitless, and that Latta and Christie were led into it by him. This closed the examination of 'vwitnes;ées./ The Judge in his charge adverted to the merits of their different families, and after quite a lengthy discourse, his Honor fixed the sentence of Latta, Billman and Christie each at three years confinement in the penitentiary, while Hathaway, who in ‘our opinion, is worse than all the ‘rest, is left to run at large.

[EpITOR’SNOTE.—A gentlemian who ’ witnessed the proceedings informs us that Judge Tousley, in his remarks to Hathaway, said that the record of the Hathaway family was most excellent, and that Frank was the only blick sheep in the flock. The Judge remarked further that eandor and t::uth compelled him to say that Frank was guilty of a good many mean tricks. The feéling in the court-room, o ur informant tells us, was' intense ¢ind almost “solid” against “the man’” who betrayed “the boys.” Some veory bitter remarks were addressed to Hathaway by those who felt incense d-at has conduct. The vicinity of J.igonier was largely represented in th.e courtroom. -The general demean or of the prisoners was cool and self-possessed throughout the trial. Yesterday morning they were taken to Michigan City, to serve out their term in the northern penitentiary.] ' ; . Last Friday evening thhe Albion public school closed with a grand free festival, given by the teachers. to students and parents. At 60’clock,p. »., teachers and pupils met at the semi—} nary and marched to the music of the Albion Cornet Band, two in a breast, l to Clapp’s Hall, where the su:pper was dealt out in a good and charitable i style.

This is only a small portion of the disorder existing about the jail,but the other belongs to the work of the architect and not to the sheriff; hence it was overlooked. For example, the leating apparatus and water pipes are im no kind of order, and never 'were; nor can the cells be closed from the owside, as was the arrangement.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that the President has recently expressed himself against the policy of paying off the public debt so rapidly, and im favor of delaying the process somewhat until the country is more pros-: perous. The Journal has repeatedly advocated this idea, and we are glad to know thg President is coming to the same position. There is no reason why the public debt should be paid off rapidly, and many why it should not. Let the burden of the present generation be lightened and give posterity a chance to pay part of the national debt.—lndianapolis Journal. Consent.

~_ TRIPLE MURDER. . Horrible Butchery in Ohio. b : Ll Foi A Cincinnati Commercial special of June 23rd says & triple murder occurred near Gore, Logan county, Ohio, last Saturday morning. John Weldon was found in a field with. his head split open, and his sister and daughter were discovered in the house with their heads smashed. It is supposed the murders were committed for money. No clue to the perpetrators. LATER:—The Commercial’s Logan special says one of the'most atrocious crimes ever 'xgerf)etrated in Ohio was the murder near the village of Gore, about seven miles from Logan, of John Weldon, his widowed sister, Mrs. Susan McClurg, and Miss Nancy Hite, daughter of Mrs. McClurg by a former husband. The murderers are now in | jail. One of them, Wm. Terrill, made . a confession ou Sunday, which throws the crime on one Jos. King. King denies any knowledge of the erime. The, prevailing opinion is that Terrill did: most of the horrible work. The mur-: dered man was a thrifty farmer, and it was generally supposed had money about the house. Terrill says they met him about half a mile from the house, and that King, without any warning, walked up and deliberately shot him in the bowels. Then ensued a tussle during which King shot him in the breast once and twice in the neck. The victim picked up an old corn cutter and threw it at King, and struck him in the back. King seized the corn-cutter and struck the old man over the head, cleaving the skull. He fhen finished his work with a club. They then went to a Small stream, washed their hinds, and then went to

the house. Kiag took an ax from the | porch, went into the house, and presently came out with the old lady.— They walked together a 4 moment, when, Yithout warning, he struck her with | 't le ax across the head, nearly cutting | [dt\in twain. | She fell, and he struck h‘e\r across the neck, severing the jugular vein. He then ran into the house, andthe young lady, seeing the bloodbesmeared weapon, ran out the front door. The brute pursued and overtook her before she had taken many steps, and dealt her a blow upon the shoulder, sinking the ax to the handle. “This brought her to.the ground and he i struck her on the back of the head, splitting it wide open. He again lifted his weapon, and struck her-across the neck, almost severing her head from her body He then threw the ax down by his viztim and probably went into the house to find money. When arrested they lad about $ll on their persons. . : The excitenent is intense. About 1,500 people hive gathered about the premises, and fears are entertained that there wil be an attempt to take the prisoner fiom jail and lynch him. The militia a® under arms, and a lot of extra policehave been sworn in. - Latest devebpments go far to show that Xing was not concerned.in this hellish erime. He is known to have ‘been in Logan at four ¢’clock on the day of the muider, and at eight o’clock the same nighi Terrill says the murder was commtted between 6 and 7P. M. Late Suncay evening numerous small groupso! men were seen quietly | talking . on the streets of Logan, including men fiom different’ parts of the county. Truble is evidently brewing.

It sitbsists on the eggs and young of the much dreaded potato-bug and destroys them by millions. The storm which passed over the West on Monday last was the most wide-spread in area and destructive in effects of any similar visitation ever experienced in that latitude. The wind blew a hurricane and the rain_‘ fell in torrents for hours. The ‘damage to crops is beyond calculation. Fortunately there is little or no loss of. life to report. . . | The Inter-Ocean, of Chicago, publishes a letter from a man in the oil region of West Virginia who says he can prove by logical and geological demonstration that the interior of -the earth beneath and around Chicago .contains seven million barrels of oil to the square mile, which, he says, “at three dollars per barrel would make $21,000,000 worth to the mile.” All accounts agree that the Russians have gained decisive victories in Armenia, and that the Turkish defence in Asia Minor is' broken beyond the hope of retrieval. The Turks have only been successfull against the. Mo tenegrins, whose' valor, courage ajd persistency deserves | better results. The Russian advance to Constantinople will soon begin, and some decisfve steps by Great Britain may be appre‘hended.

'They were, beyonddoubt, most right‘eously punished, though the power of the organization was such at one time ‘that arrest and conviction were thought to be impossible. »

AN UNPARALLELED OUTRAGE.— One of the most horrible outrages ever' committed in Montgomery county was perpetrated near Alamo last Saturday night, whereby a girl named Phillips, of questionable character, will probably lose her life. Twelve or fifteen young men one after each other appeased their passions on her person until she was almost lifeless. 'They then took her by the heels and head and pitched her over into a field where she was found next day in an unconscious state. She was brought to this city and taken to the county asylum where:she still lingers. The perpetrators of the outrage are still at large.— Crawfordsville Journal. e

.- There never has been a time when the healing of 8o many different diseases has been cansed byoutward application as the present: It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the ure of ordinary plasters. . : ; 5 Dr. Mervin’s Carsiounm Porous PLASTERS dre acknowledged by all who have used them to act quicker than any other plaster they ever 'before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually tojeffect & cure; but ‘with these it is entirely different: the instant one’is aplglied the patient will feel'its effect. hysicians in all afges have thoroughly “tested and well know the effect of Capsicum ; and it has’ always been more or less used as 8 medical agent for an ontward application; but it is only of very recent date that its adv,antsfies in & porous plas- | ter have been-discovered. Being, however, con‘vinced of the wonderful cures’ effected by Dr. MzeLvlN'S CAarsioum Porous PraAstEes, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice; for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cages as.have re%uired the use of plasters or liniment.
