HELD UP. Bandits Rob a Southern Psettle Express Car In Arison*. Phienix, A. TANARUS., Oct. 2.—At 113:10 'is. m. Monday the east-bound Southern Pacific train was held up IX miles east of Maricopa by three men. One of the robbers rode on the blind baggage out of Maricopa, while the other two flagged the train. As it slacked up the fellow aboard passed quickly into the engine cab, and with two revolvers forced Engineer Holiday and Fireman Martin to descend, uncouple the engine and proceed ahead of the train for abont threequarters of a mile. In the meantime one masked robber had entered the express car, while the other stood guard outside. No shots were fired, nor were the passengers alarmed while the robbery was in progress. The engineer and fireman were walked hack ahead of robber No. 1 to the express car, where they arrived about the time the other two were ready to depart All three then mounted horses, which were tied near by, and struck out in a southerly direction toward the Mexican line, which is 80 miles from the track.

REVERSED. Judge Jenkins’ Famous Northern Pacific Injunction Overruled. justice Harlan Deride* That the Courts Cannot Compel a Man to Work— A Fart of the Injunction Sustained. A LEO AI. RIGHT TO QUIT. Chicaoo, Oct. 2. —Judge Jenkins' famons strike injunction has been overruled by the United circuit conrt of appeals and the cause was remanded with directions to strike out from the restraining order of the court the clause which aroused the country when the order was issued and which resulted in the Boatner investigating committee of congress. The interveners, representing the leading labor organizations of the country, asked that two sections of the injunction be eliminated. The court of appeals decided that no court could compel a man or a body of men from quitting individually or in a body - the eervfce of an employer. The court said that Judge Jenkins had exceeded his powers when ho enjoined the employes of the receivers of the Northern Pacific Kailrond company “from quitting tlie service of said receivers, with or without notice, so as to cripple the I property or prevent or hinder the operation of said railroad.” It. however, held that the section should stand in which the men were prohibited “from combining and conspiring to quit, with or without notice, the service of said receivers, with the object and intent of crippling the property in their custody, or embarrassing the operation of said railroad.” The decision was considered by the lawyers who packed the courtroom as one of the most important opinions delivered in the United States In a decade. It defines tho status before the law of labor organizations in their conduct of strikes, and affirms the powers of courts of equity to interfere by injunction when there is reason to believe ~ that tho law will be violated. It holds that the men may withdraw in a body from the service of an employer, —using,—however, neither force, threats, persecution nor intimidation toward employes who do not join them, nor must they use any “device” to molest, hinder, alarm, or interfere with others who desire to take their places. Justice Harlan, of the supreme court, delivered the opinion: Hitting with him were Judges Hoods, Bunn, Grossctip and Jenkins. The last named sat with hi? eyes fixed upon Justico Harlan as the latter read the opinion reviewing the circuit judge's action. The audience which listened to tho reading of the opinion was a most distinguished one, Ex-I’resident Harrison was among those who heard with interest tho decision. Tlie receivers of the road in December last gave notice of a reduction of wages all along tlie line and when tho men threatened to strike Judge Jenkins Issued the injunction, on December 10, preventing a strike. Two days later ho amended tho injunction, making it more Stringent. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers joined with tho other labor unions to which the men belonged and applied to* Judge Jenkins for a modification of the order. Judge JenkiDs refused to strike out tho clauses enjoining a strike and the labor unions appealed to the higher court.

GERMANY PROTESTS. Dissatisfaction with the Sugar Schedule of the New Tariff Law. Washington, Oct. 2.— An international question involving the United States and Germany has been raised by the sugar schedule of the new tariff. The German government, through its embassador,Baron VonSaurma-Jeltsch, hits made a strong protest to the secretary of state against that clause of the act which imposes an additional duty of one-tenth of a cent on sugars imported from those governments which pay an export bounty on the article. It is held by the German government that tho feature of the new tariff act is more oppressive in its action against the sugar producers of Germany than any other and violates the spirit of the treaty arrangements between the two governments, particularly in view of the concession by which the embargo against American pork was raised. The ambassador is hopeful that legislation would be adopted at the short session of congress to obviate the discrimination against his country. BOTH SHOT TO KILL.

CYCLONE IN KANSAS. Bkch Damage I* Done to Property In the City of IVlrhita. Wichita, Kan., Oct. 2. —The northern part of the city was swept Monday night by a tornado. Buildings of all kinds were demolished, unroofed, twisted out of shape and removed from their foundations, and it is reported two unknown men were killed. In all, some twenty-five or thirty substantial buildings, besides innumerable barns and outhouses, were demolished or injured in a greater or less degree. The twister came from the southwest, as they always do, and it first struck the city at Wichita and Tenth Streets, where it unroofed and tore out the side of a street car barn. The Missouri Pacific depot at Twelfth and Maine streets, containing Superintendent Webb’s office and a large force of clerks and employes, was the next point of attack, and this was entirely unroofed and the interior walls twisted out of place, yet not a man was injured. A few yards off the watchman at a crossing was in his box, which was lifted up and pitched down two rods away without doing the inmate any damage. From here the wind jumped to Lawrence avenue and Twelfth street, picking up a tree here and there and knocking over a few light buildings. It cut down a long row of magnificent trees without touching the residences, a few yards away, in front of which they stood, and passed within 10 feet of Gov. Lewelling’s home. Another street car barn was overturned at Fifteenth street and Fifth avenue, and this caught fire, and, together with some cars, was entirely consumed. Around each of these points at which the tornado dipped residences were overturned and outbuildings were carried away. Puddings were twisted into all kinds of shape and were tossed about in a rough manner and it is a marvel how the occupants escaped. The wiFes are down in all directions, so no news can. bo obtained from the country, but it is probable considerable damage was done both southwest and northeast of here. During the storm a boy named Fitzgibtifms was allied by lightning. vfCTIMB~OF FIRE* Four Persons Ferlsh In a BornJjig Wisconsin Home.

DUN'S STATEMENT. Review of tbo Past Week's Trade-Some Comparisons. New York, Sept. 29. R. G. Dun A Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Special Inquiry has been made this week at all commercial centers regarding the state, of retail trade. Wide diversity appears in different trades. The main facts disclosed are: First, marked Improvement In the last month and a considerable excess over the business done a year ago, particularly in the necessarles of life. But, second, it appears that the volume of trade at present Is on the whole considerably leas than in a normal year at most points, and in the more important trades is apparently about 20 per cent, smaller than in September. 1802. Evidence of continued Improvement lu wholesale trade and manufacture does not appear this week. There is large distribution on orders given some time ago. but new business going to the manufacturers Is everywhere slackening. The completion of orders for replenishment of stocks leaves a narrower demand and it is yet too early for consumption to provide further orders. The depression in prices of farm products will have some influence. Unprecedented records have been made in cotton and wheat, though as to wheat only in contracts for future delivery in which the prices are the lowest ever made. The available etocks are about 15,000,000 bushels greater than a year ago, and western receipts for tbo week were 5,252,710 bushels, against 0.191,034 last year, and since August 1, 51.000,000 bushels, against 38,000,000 last year. It is encouraging that the speculation in corn has broken and the price has fallen five cents, less gloomy estimates than those of the department having gained general acceptance. It is now supposed that the yield is not far from 1,500.000.000 bushels, which will compel much economy in feeding, but speculation In pork has also broken, and the price has fallen 75 cents, while lard has declined half a cent. Failures are few and small for tho week, liabilities amounting to $5,278,285, of which $2,282,313 were of manufacturing and $2,575,112 of tradifig concerns. The failures during the week have been 235 In tho United States, against 33-1 last year, and 55 in Canada, against 83 last year. SLAIN AND ROBBED. Well-Known Railroad Man Murdered Mysteriously In Cleveland. Cleveland, 0., Sept. 27.—A horrible murder shrouded in mystery was committed in the very heart of the city some time during Monday night, and the polit‘o are completely baffled for lack of a clew. James H. Ca▼en, general freight agent of the Valley railroad (Baltimore & Ohio), was shot and killed by some unknown assassin. Five bullets pierced his body, and when picked up shortly after he was stone dead. Parties living near the scene of the murder heard the shots and a woman’s scream.

Then it was discovered that the body had been robbed. A fine gold repeater which the dead man carried in life was missing. His money, of which he always carried a large an)punt,wasalsogone. The pockets had ! been turned inside out. The fact that a robbery had been committed was plainly evident, and a search was made for the wounds. They wore found, five in number hours must have elapsed since .the shots were fired, as the blood had congealed and closed the wounds. Every inch of the yard where the body was found was gone carefully over by tlie detectives in the hope of finding a clew. Not a thing did they find to reward their search.
