Mg SN P ndp g # 3 DETECTIVES HAVE FOUND A TRACE OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL BANDITS. BUJ‘ FOUR MEN IN " THE DARING HOLD-UP Secure& About One Thousand Dollars from the Passengers—The Job Was Neatly Done—Two Who Resisted Were Slightly Injured. Chicago, Aug. 3.—A clew that may lead to the capture of the bandits who held up the train and robbed the passengers on the Diamond Special of the Illinois Central road Monday night was received by Chief Special Agent O’Keefe atll o’clock Tuesday morning from Griffith, lIL Three men answering the description of three of the bandits visited a saloon at Griffith early in the morning and one tried to sell a diamond ring. All had plenty of money. Several detectives have been sent to Griffith to get full details from the saleonkeeper and a search of the neighborhood is in progress. The men are still in the vicinity of Griffith, and Special Agent O’Keefe believes that they are the men wanted. According to the story told by the saloonkeeper, as told in the report of Train Dispatcher Clift, of Kankakee, to Division Superintendent Harriman. the three men in question are strangers in Griffith. They entered the saloon early in the morning and called for drinks. L

One engaged the saloonkeeper in conversation and. displayed a diamond ring which he offered to sell at a bargain. The saloonkeeper declared he wanted the ring, but did not have enough money to buy it. After taking several drinks one of the men asked if he could see a morning paper. ¢ ‘

The proprietor got one of the Chicago papers and handed it to him. All three seemed much interested in the paper, especially a story of the holdup which appeared on the first page. They read it quietly and made no comment. Shortly afterward they returned the paper and left the saloon. ; o

The saloonkeeper glanced at the first page of the paper, read the headlines of the holdup story and then notified the telegraph operator of the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern road. He is convinced that the men are the bandits for whom the police are scouring the country. Secured About $l,OOO.

St. Louis, Aug. 3.—lt was learned Tuesday. after the arrival of. the Diamond Special on the Illinois Central railroad from Chicago, that the robbers who held it up obtained probably less than $l,OOO and a number of watches from .the passengers. William Toolan, of Lansing, Mich., and Leonard Christmas, of Ontario, Canada, who were beaten on their heads, were able to walk from the train, but Toolan was in adazed condition. The injured were in the care of Dr. H. C. Fairbrother, of East St. Louis, one of the company’s physi‘cians, who boarded the train at Harvey, 111. Act of the Bandits.

Chicago, Aug. 3—Four masked men held up the Diamond Special of the Illinois Central railroad at ten o’clock Monday night between Harvey and Matteson, Ill.—a short distance outside the city limits of Chicago—and robbed all the passengers, men and women, in the two Pullman sleepers. About 30 passengers were forced to give up money and valuables, the total amount of the plunder being variously estimated at between $2,000 and $lO,OOO. ;

Two of the passengers were struck by the robbers with a hatchet because they tried to conceal their valuables in their berths. The weapon descended on their heads and both were severely injured.

A Bold Affajr.

The Diamond Special is one of the best equipped trains that runs out of Chicago over the Illincis Central. Its leaving time is 9:30 p. m. At ten o’clock it reached Harvey, where the four robbers boarded the rear sleeper. With a hatchet they pried open the rear door of the car, and on entering they found the conductor, brakeman and porter. in the smoking compartment. Four revolvers were shoved into the faces of the trainmen, and while one robber stood guard over them the others went through the car, routing the passengers out of bed. There were a few who had not yet retired. [

Passengers Robbed.

In this car one of the passengers attempted to hide his money and valuables from the robbers and a shot was fired at him. After all th® passengers in the rear car, five of whom were women, had been aroused and lined up in the aisle, the robbers quietly searched their berths for plunder. Suit cases, telescopes and traveling bags were ripped open with a knife and the contents dumped on the flbor. Watches were taken from vests, diamond studs and collar buttons from shirts. and the pockets of trousers also yielded treasure. After robbing the occupants of the rear coach one man was left to guard them while two others went to the sleeper ahead. There were between 12 and 15 personsin this coach, and all were ‘treated in a manner similar to the passengers in the other car. v

Blows from Hatchet.

Two men in this car were struck over the head with the hatchet which had been used by the robbers to enter the other car. At the sight of blood streaming from the wounds one woman fainted. Watches, diamonds and money were taken from all the passengers in the second car, and traveling bags were slashed with a knife in the search for booty. ; :

Fishing Pointers. Fishing at Maxinkuckee, says Fisherman J. H. McSheehy in the Logansport Chronicle, is not good at present. Itisa fact that few bass are caught in the reeds these days. In every year are one or two weeks when bass are not tobe taken inshore at all, and a man who casts for them as they are usually cast for gets nothing for his pains. At these times the fish are in the deepest parts of lakes or rivers, buried away down ‘near the bottom of the holes, eating little, taking such live and tempting food as is sent down to them very gingerly, altogether undergoing a period of sloth and fasting. This is supposed to be due wholly to the water inshore becoming too warm for their comfort and the heat taking the appetite out of them. This retirement to deep water happens always during a hot dry spell, when there is much sultriness and the air feels as if it were a thin woolen blanket drawn about the nostrils. Fish are not avid at such times, but the angler who knows where they have gone can generally get a fairly decent string by working for them wholly in the still-fishing method with things that are alive—frogs, grasshoppers, crawfish and such. .

Still later in the year, during the middle of September, the bass will again debert the logs and tree tops for sandy shallows that have rocks and pebbles sloping gradually away intc deep water. The angler will get his strikes then and make his catches by keeping his boat well out and casting his lure so that it shall fall just where the shallow water begins to shade off into the darkness of the deep. Probably the bass will be from five to'ten feet further in, but they will see the flash of the lure apd come out after it more readily than if itfeil nearer to them with its plash. In September bass like the sun, for the nights are cold, the water is at a low temperature through the day, and they will continue to haunt the shallows until the film of ice forms over them and they are forced into winter quarters. : ;

Sold Wet Land.

- Edward Scott, a young man formerly of Albion, has bz2en in jail at Auburn for the past six months, charged with a pecualiar crime, and while he has been given a hearing he was sent back to jail, the prosecution not being ready to take up the case at present. Scott appeared before Judge Rose and the case against him was quashed and he was remanded to jail to await the action of the October. grand jury. He comes fromn a family of respectable but not well-to-do people, and last fall he went to work at Garrett, where he conceived the idea of getting rich quick by attempting to dispose of the land under one of the numerous lakes of Noble county. Scott planned and executed, so far as he could the sale of eighty acres under Skinner lake, lying east of Albion. He forged the deed to-the land from a person without existence to himself, and then undertook to sell the land which was worthless, the entire tract being covered with water several feet in depth. He succeeded in interesting a man by the name of Webster from Garrett, who went to look over the property. Scott accompanied him, but instead of showing him the land for which his forged deed called he invited his customer to look upon a fine eighty-acre tract which was in a fine state of cultivation and the property of another. ‘lhe arrest soon followed and Scott has been in jail sinece, though the original indictment has been quashed: A Bit of Adyice to Women. Somebody is always giving advice to women, and here is a bit from the Washington Times that has the appearance of being sensible and sound: “Don’t pick out a man for a husband simply because you love him. The most important thing is whether he loves you. A woman who loves her husband better than he does her is a door mat on which he treads. If he loves her better than she does him he looks up to her as a goddess and spende his life trying to win her favor. A too adoring wife bores a man with her affection, but no woman ever had enough love given her to satisfy her, and the more affection the man lavishes upon her the stronger the claim he establishes. After marriage a thousand things draw a woman’s heart to her hkusband, a thousand things estrange him from her.” . = Harvest Hands Rates.

SN RISE IN THE PRICES OF MERCHANDISE THE CAUSE OF RIOTS. SOLDIERS LEAD IN THE DISTURBANCES Stalls of Syrians in the Markets Destroyed by Soldiers and the Owners Stoned—American Interests to Be Protected. Port au Prince Hayti, Aug 3.—The most serious disorders are anticipated here. The population is very much excited by the continued rise in the prices of all merchandise and a band of soldiers Tuesday made an attempt to pillage the central market and the shops in that vicinity. Other troops and police immediately intervened and reestablished order. All the stores in Port au Prince, however, are now closed. p

During the day a number of Syrians were stoned in the streets, two of them were wounded and their stalls, surrounding the central market, were destroyed by soldiers. Mr. Powell, the American minister, has informed President Nord that all engagements entered into with American citizens must be respected, and that <the railroad from Port au Prince to the interior, being an American enterprise, must be protected by the Haytian government and enabled to continue in operation. It would appear that the Haytians are particularly opposed to the presence of Syrians in their country. The Moniteur Officiel, of Port au Prince, June 9 promulgated a law, then recently adopted by parliament, forbidding the entry into the territory of the republic of all foreigners of Syrian origin.. Syrians already established in Hayti were allowed six months in which to close out their business and leave Haytian territory.

Washington Not Surprised.

‘Washington, Aug. 3.—Minister Powell’s recent reports to the state department have fully prepared officials of the state department for the present condition of ‘disquiet and rioting at Port au Prince. Upon a quiet hint from the state department the navy department has been keeping a close eye upon the situafion in Hayti, and Admiral Sigsbee, with his Carribean squadron, has managed to keep at least one warship at all times within a day or two’s sail of the Haytian eapital. The American interests in Port au Prince and in the vicinity are considerable, and, aside from the railroad and some local municipal properties, some of ‘the surrounding plantations are controlled by American capital. ! |

Five Men Dead.

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 3.—An Evening News special from Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., says: An accident Tuesday at the Shakespeare gold mine, Webbwood, on the Soo branch of the Canadian Pacific railroad, east of here, resulted in the suffocation of five men. - Full particulars of the accident have not yet reached the Soo, but it is understood that it was the result of the men entering the shaft too soon after a blast, the result being that they were suffocated before the fumes dispersed. ‘ :

Whitefish in Lake Michigan.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Aug. 3.—Whitefish have returned to the Lake Michigan grounds off Grand Haven, after an absence of ten years. This will mean the revival of an important industry. Twen-ty-five years ago Grand Haven was the center of whitefish industry. Improvilent fishing and increased navigation and sewage drove the fish away gradually. New Counterfeit. - ‘Washington, Aug. 3.—Chief Wilkie, of the United States secret service, announces the discovery of a new counterfeit ten-dollar national bank note. It is on the National Bank of Commerce in New York, series 1882. Bruce, register; Wyman, treasurer. It js a poorly gxecuted photograph. } M\E:Weeks at Winona, Those who heard Creatore and his Italian Band at Winona Lake last season will be pleased to hear that this great musical organization retuans to Winona for a stay of two weeks beginning August Bth. There is no falling off in the popularity of the. strenuous bandmaster, and the conduetor and his men will doubtless receive a rapturous greeting when he opens his concerts at the Assembly. ' The band has changed little since it was at Winona last summer. New programs will be offered and, of course, many old favorites will be heard. One or more concerts will be devoted to Wagner and a novelty to many will be a generous selection from ‘‘Parsifal,”’ the much discussed Music-drama. Numerous operatie transcriptions, which Creatore conducts with so much nerve,and which never fail to excite the audience to a pitch of enthusiasm, will be found on each program. During the two weeks’ stay of Creatore and his Ttalian band at Winona, the special rates and excursions offered by the railroads will afford the opportunity to all to attend these concerts and have an enjoyable time at this beautiful resort.

New Plans for Rome City

The project of making West lake more accessible to the pyplic and of making a suimmer resort of the pretty little island in its center has been advanced to the point where the land has been. surveyed and lots staked off and the contract for the twentyfour foot canal from the railway at Rome City to West lake, a distance of about one and one-quarter miles, has been awarded to a dredging company. Work upon the latter improvement will commence at once and it is believed that the work will be completed by next spring and that passengers for West lake can embark from docks near the Rome City depot and go direct to the fishing grounds by boat. The island is 2,800 feet in circumference and it is estimated that it can be divided into 125 lots of usual sizc¢. The Grand Rapids and Indiana company has promised to lend its aid in carrying out the plans of the projectors, expecting to be recompensed by the additional passenger business which would result from the consummation of the enterprise.—Ft. Wayne Sentinel. f - " Rural Route Rules. The postmaster general has sent out orders to the postoffice concerning some rather important changes in the rural route rules. Hereafter all mail boxes on therural routes will have to be equipped with suitable signal for the purpose of indicating whether or not there is mail therein. Another important change and one that will work. for economy for the farmer as well as less labor for the carrier is two or more families will be allowed to use one mail box, providing that the families sign an agreement and file it with the postmaster. This will do away with so many boxes at cross roads and lanes which are not traveled by the carrier. The postmasters will be allowed to order for prospective patrons an approved box selected by the patron and upon the patrons request, but he will not be allowed to receive compensation or profit for the act. Lérgeréleeplng Car Berths,

One of the few railroad companies that owns and operates the sleeping cars in service on its lines, is the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul. The sleeping cars on this line were formerly Pullman cars, operated by the Pullman company, but for a dozen years past the railway company has operated and owned the sleeping car equipment. In building its sleeping cars, a departure from the old standard pattern of cars has been made to the extent of adding about Bix inches to the width and height of the sleepers. This . permits of wider/and higher berths. Length hras also been added to the berths, so that comfort is found in them which is lacking in ordinary sleeping ears. These large cars are in service on practically all lines of the St. Paul road and are very popular with the traveling publie.

Claim Against Beiger Estate

Another chapter has been added to the M. V. Beiger estate matter. Mrs. M. V. Beiger recently settled with the Preachers’ Aid society in the will matter, giving the associa.tiop over $6,000. A_ correspondent says that last week Rev. E. F. Hasty, secretary of the aid society came quietly to South Bend and filed a claim for $250 against the estate which he says is due. He avers that several years ago Mr. Beiger agreed’ to give the association $5O yearly for eight years. Already $l5O of this had been paid and in the settlement made with the aid society it is said that the latter released the estate from all further claims. Rev. Mr. Hasty is criticised for not. presenting the claim when the other matters were settled in court, and it will be contested.—Goshen News-Times. Was in Poor Health for Years. Ira W. Kelley of Mansfield, Pa., writes: “I was in poor health for two years, suffering from kidney and bladder trouble, and spent considerable money consulting physicians without obtaining any marked benefit, but was cured by Foley’s Kidney Cure, and I desire to add my testimony that it may be the cause of restoring the health of others.” Refuse substitutes.

GEN. KUROPATKIN =~ ANNOUNCES THAT JAPANESE ~ FORCES HAVE OCCUPIED IMPORTANT POSITIONS. | JAPANESE VICTORY IS ‘ ANNOUNCED AT TOKIO St. Petersburg in a Gloomy Mood Because of Disaster at the Front— Probable Consequences of the Defeat—German Ship Sunk. ) St. Petersburg, Aug. .3.—Gen. Kuropatkin reports that the Japanese have occupied Ikhavuen, east of Liaoyang, and the Yangse pass, 30 miles east of Liaoyang. : A : Victory® for Kuroki. Tokio, Aug. 3.—After two days’ fighting Gen. Kurokihas defeated the Russian forces in two separate actions fought at Yushulikzu and the Yangse pass, . Yushulikzu is possibly a village near Simoucheng, 15 miles south-southeast of ‘Haicheng, at the juncture of the Fengwancheng-Siuyen roads, where the Russian forces have -apparently sustained a defeat. . St. Petersburg Is Gloomy. St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.—The feeling at the war office here was distinctly gloomy Tuesday morning. No official telegrams had been- received by the general staff from Gen. Kuropatkin, who was ecommunicating direct to the emperor, but from private sources at the front it already was apparent that Simoucheng, 15 miles south-southeast of Haicheng, at the juncture of the FenwangchengSiuyen roads, had been lost, Gen. Stakelberg’s outposts having fallen back to Haicheng. No word was received enabling the staff to either confirm or deny 'the reported capture of the late Gen’ Count Keller’s position at Ikhavuen, east of Liaoyang, and Yangse pass; 30 miles east of Liaoyang, but heavy fighting continues on both southern and eastern fronts, the object of the Japanese in the east being to flank Gen. Keller’s corps from the-south and morth, which is easily possible. The progress of the enveloping movement may have forced the corps toretire to Anishanshan,which is the next position in the direction of Liaoyang. Official dispatches detalling the engagement are hardly expected till the evening. . ' The failure of the garrison of Simoucheng to retreat along the northern road was probably due to the presence of the Japanese column flanking the late Gen, Keller’s corps from the south. In view of the inability of the Russians to hold Simoucheng, it is considered unlikely that Gens. Zaroubaieff and Stakelberg will attempt to offer stubborn resistance at Haicheng. ‘lt is possible that theyare already retiring on Anshanshan, There is Teason to believe that two of Gen. Oku’s divisions are advanc¢ing from Newchwang on Haicheng with the view of flanking and cutting off Gen. Stakelberg’s retreat, but this movement is not likely to succeed on account of Stakelberg’s ability to retire northward on Anshanshan. : : .

An interesting. detail, evidencing the fierceness of the artillery duel south of Haicheng July 31, is the fact that the Russian batteries on the left flank fired 4,842 shots in four hours. , Kuroki’s Report.

Washington, Aug. 3.—The Japanese legation has received the .following official cablegram from the foreign office at Tokio, dated Tuesday: . “Gen. Kuroki reports’ that at daybreak of July 31 our army commenced operations for. attacking the enemy occupying Yushulintzu (four miles west of Hsihoyen) and Yangtzuling (six miles west of Motienling), . both places situated -about 25 miles from Liaoyang. The enemy at Yushulintzu consisted of two divisions with corresponding artillery. The attacking operations were carried out as prearranged and by sunset we defeated both wings of the enemy, but owing to their large force and strong positions we were unable to dislodge them entirely. At daybreak .of August 1 we resumed the attack and succeeded in expelling the enemy at noon and pursued them four miles in the westward direction. The enemy ' fled toward Anping. The enemy at Yangtzuling consisted of two and -a half divisions, with four batteries of artillery. The! attacking operations there also pro—‘ gressed successfully and by sunset we carried the enemy’s principal positions, but a portion of them offered the stoutest resistance and -we had to bivouac the night in battle formation. * At dayb;‘eak of August 1 we resumed the attack and at eight a. m. all heights fell - into our hands. The enemy fléd toward Tanghoyen. The casualties are under investigation. We captured some field guns, but details still uhknown.” _ .

A German Ship Sunk.

Vladivostok, Aug. 3.—The Vladivostok cruiser division returned to port at four o’clock Monday afternoon. The cruisers were in-perfect condition. They captured during their cruise the steamer Arabia and destroyed some schooners, a small Japanese steamer, one German steamer and one British steamer. The last mentioned two ‘were carrying contraband materigl and had nearly reached their destination—Yokohama, but were almost without coal, and it was, therefore, impossible to send them to Vladivostok. . The cruisers steamed up and down in front of the Japanese capital, but saw nothing of the enemy’s warships.
