Particulars of the Railroad Robbery.

{Dee Moines, lowa. (July 22) Special to Chicago Tribune.] . , I interviewed Mr. H. F. Rovce,'Superintendent of the lowa Division of the Rock Island Railroad, who was on the train when it was ditched and robbed. He stated that the train was the Atlantic Express, which left Council Bluffs at.4:15, and consisted of an engine, two baggage cars, three coaches and two sleepers. “Ait went well until they reached a point midway between Anita and Adair, and about sixty miles from this city. It was about eight o’clock, and growing rapidly dark. They were traveling at the usual speed, about twenty-six miles an hour, through a wild, uninhabited prairie; there was xtot ife h«ise-in any-direction between them and the horizon. Mr. Royce was seated in the second baggage-car conversing with a friend, when he felt the application ot the air brake. He wondered tor a moment what it meant; there was no station there, and something must be amiss, or the train would not stop in that, lonely locality. 'He JumpeST to his feet, but bad hardly stood up before he felt the shock caused by sudden stoppage, and simultaneously the car. was thrown from the track against the embankment, the floor inclining a| an angle of thirty degrees. He was pitched against the side of the car, the bridge of his nose ooliiding with the stanchion, causing a painful wound "which bled copiously. He was roughly shaken up and stunned. Recovering his faculties, he saw what he described as “a-very powerful mixture of men, baggage, bullion, and express packages," He heard the sound of shots, supposing it to be torpedoes. Stepping from the car to the bank to ascertain the cause of the trouble, he was met by two men, masked and equipped with navy revolvers, one in each hand. One of them remarked, “Curse you, get back into that wr. Get back, or I'll kill you.” Accepting the peremptory invitation lie got

back as far as the doqr of the ear, when another masked man, standing inside, also with a revolver in his liana, observed, “Get but of here; Curse you; get out of here or I’ll’ kill you.” He got out, bewildered between two threatening flre,s. lie went but on the platform again. Another armed ruffian phinted a pistol from the other side of the car, and using the same expletives, advised him to get in out of that or he would kill him. A bullet whittled past Ids car, and Mr. Royce retired into one of the passenger coaches, remaining there un,J.il the highwaymen •left. ' " ~ - In the meantime three of the robbers had captured the express car, where they expected to’find from thirty to fifty thousand dollars, the amount usually carried on through trains. The route agent, Killingswortli, was severely contused by the concussion. Burgess, the express messenger, was raising .him from where lie fell, when the robbers entered. One of them acted as sentinel toytop any one from coming in, another hold aeoeked.pistol to the expressman’s bead, while the third demanded the key of tlie-i safe. Burgess, finding discretion to be the better part of valor, and that it was useless to resist, handed over the key, with which the robber opened the safe and took out money packages amounting in all to $1,700. He was disappointed at the small amount* and demanded information as" to where there was more. The messenger replied that there was no more. The robber called Burgess by a foul and nasty epithet. Burgess then volunteered to prove there was no more'money by opening the packacre box. The robber cut some of the packages with a knife, and was enraged at finding they-contained nothing of value. There was a large quantity of bullion on board, hut it escaped notice. A mail-hag was taken up and an effort made to cut it, but not thinking it expedient to lose time with letters, the thief threw it aside. While the’ messenger was being crossexamined bv one of the road agents, another invited KiHings.woith.to fork over his pocket-hook and knife, and lie did so. The ear was then evacuated, the thieves scaled the embankment, mounted horses and galloped away in a southerly direction. disappearing at once in the gather* .imr gloom. _ While the car ants being ransacked, four men with navy revolvers, two on each side of the train, kept guard outside to intimidate the passengers and prevent them from interfering with the operations of Iheir confederates. The passes-, gers were alarmed, not knowing the moment a volley would be poured into, the windows or liow long they had to live. Some adventurous heads were pointed out, when the highwaymen with horrible profanity ordered them to disappear inside. or they would send a bullet into them. A passenger asked If they intended to kill innocent women and eliirdren, when one of the robbers answered: “If you get back we won’t hurt you. We are not petty robbers. We are big robbers. We take from the rich, from those who arc aTHeTd"lose, for the use of the poor. We are Grangers, by .” Mr. Royce savs the reference to Grangers was Pickwiekian. The passenger took in his head, and no others ventured to put theirs out. The fatal part of the business was enacted at the moment the engine struck the gap in the track. A volley was fired into the engine. Dennis Foley, the fireman, who was stooping down shoveling coal into the furnace, saw the engineer shut off steam with one hand and put on the brakes with the other. “Jack, what’s the matter?” shouted Foley, and then he heard a crash, a fusilade ’of shots, and Jack fell over on him dead, the wood and coal on top of both. When Foley, who was bruised and stunned, came to, he extricated himself and his faithful comrade, who died at the post of duty. No marks of pistol-shots were found upon the body, and it is thought death was caused, by concussion. Mr, Royce said that ho could have sworn that Rafferty shlit off"th e steam and applied the brake, and he knows tire thought of saving the hundred lives that rode behind him'was the last that entered the mind of the heroic Rafferty. He says that Rafferty was one of the most careful, faithful, and brave men that ever traveledover an iron road. He had been in the service of the Company five years, during which he gained the confidence and respect of his employers. The remains were brought to the city, and taken home to the bereaved family, who have the sympathy of every one! When the’ robbers departed, and they did not remain very long, the outrage occupying only ten minutes, Mr. Royce dispatched two brakemen to the next station west;'frrnnntles distant, and with a passenger walked himself four miles east to a section house where they got a hand-car and -rode eight miles further east.to Casey Station. An alarm was sent along the line, assistance called for, and the agents ordered to send men after the robbers. Tlie Sheriffs of several counties responded. apd posses of citizens on horseback started out at daylight from different points. Relief trains arrived from the east and west, and large gangs of men 'went to work to repair the damage to the track, ending their labors at three o’clock this morning, when the train resumed its way, reaching here at six o’clock. The robbers did not cut (lie wires, as it would have done no good. They calculated the time it would take the train to communicate with the nearest station as sufficient to give them a good start in their flight. Mr. Royce thinks there were not less than six nor more than eight in the gang. The masks seemed to have been cut out of white flannel. They covered the entire face, excepting apertures for the mouth and eyes, reached back behind the ears, where they were tied, and down the breast, rendering 'identification' absolutely impossible. They were thick-set, powerful men, and judging from their dialect and language, Mr. Roype believes they were genuine border ruffians, and not ’persons residing in the vicinity. The claw-bar and the spike-maul used’ in removing the rail were taken from, the section-house before mentioned. There were from ninety to one hundred persons on the train. A small ivory-han-dled revolver was the only weapon in the crowd. Of course it was of no avail, and was not brou’ght into action. None of the passengers were injured. The coaches and the sleepers stuck to the track. The rear sleeper was filled by a party of aristocratic Chinese students, on their way to t? pring fi el d,- Mass., to-be educated. The tender lipped over on the engine, and the next baggage car rested on the tender. The second baggage car went ill to die ditch. The air-brake and the patent platform saved the remainder of the train. HThe manner in which the robbers threw. the train indjeates that they knew the business. At an obscure curve where the engineer could not see the track tw» hundred and fifty feet ahead, they removed the plates and drew the spikes’ from a rail on the outside of the curve, so that the rail could be easily removed. To the rail they attached a rope which ran up over the steep of the cut into a surface ditph on a bank, which completely hid them from the view of the approaching train. When the train was within three rails’length, they pulled the rope, removed the rail, and what followed is detailed above. Some time ago a conspiracy to rob a train on the same road at another point was discovered by a railroad man, who was instructed to join the gang for the purpose of breaking it up.aad it was broken up while, the intentions of the gang were known. The ' engineer, fireman,’ conductqr, bad hrftkexae» of the train were

armed by the Gompany, and two additional armed men were sent as a reinforcemeat on night trai us. Nothing being known of this last gang no precautions were taken. There is an intense desire to hear of the capture of the six -perpetrators of this dastardly and murderous outrage. Capital punishment has been abolished in this State, hut there is a universal belief that the ruffians, if found, will meet death by the hands of their captors.

Minnesota Republican Platform.

The resolutions addpted by the recent Republican State Convention of Minnesota are as follows: First— That the Republican party continue* to be the party of progress and reform, and that, while'pledging- itself anew to those great princi- i pies of universal freedom and equal human rights.' with which It has triumphed in the past, and which It has permanently incorporated in the Government, State and National, it meets boldly new questions as they arise, in the same spirit of devotion to the rights of tliu people, irrespective of Class nr condition,and that, it presents the first example nf_agreat party wise and-jusL. enough. incorrect its own errors mid abuses. (Second— I Thai whereas the Republican party lias ever been the friend of the oppressed, securing freedom to the slave, giving a homo to the landless, obtaining from EuropeanNountries a recognition of citizenship here for adopted citizens, it now greets with a hearty sympathy and extended .hand tb-heip-every movement to secure to agriculture and labor their ..due influence, interests and fights. _______ TCinl—The producing, commercial and industrial interests of the country should have the best and cheapest mode of transportation possible, and while the capital invested in such means, of transit, whether by railroad or otherwise, should be "permitted the right, of reasonable remuneration, a!! abuses in their management, excessive rates, unjust or oppressive discriminations against localities, persons. _or interests, should., .be ...disconnte-. nauced. and the people should he protected from all sncli wrongs and all improper arbitrary use of the growing power of raisroad- and other corporation*. Fourth —That, in our opinion, no rights should he vested in railroad corporations beyond the control of future legislation, and that sncli laws should fie enacted as will limit just and reasonable toils, freights and charges of railroad and transportation companies, and protect the people from imposition. and that the Legislature should attach such conditions to all htw grants and the. amendments or extension of-old charters as will place the rights of legislative contra) over such corporations beyond .all question. Fifth— That we highly indorse the action of the late Legislature in investigating and reforming the abuses in the, office of the State Treasurer, and heartily applaud the active measures of the late Congress in ferreting out and exposing corruption. We ImVC seen with profound regret, in the developments made thereby, the evidence of political and official corruption, and the abuse of responsible positions by men-of all politieai parties -to further personal ends, and we demand pure official.conduct and the punishment of unfaithful public men. State and National, who. having betrayed the confidence freely extended to them, shall not lie shielded from the disgrace of their acts by any partisanship of ours, and we denounce all. Credit-. Mohilier transactions, whatever he their form. Sixth —When retrenchment is required to lighten the burden of taxation arid to continue the reduction of the public debt, an increase of salaries is unwise. We condemn without reserve the voting for or the receiving of increased pay for services already Tendered, and demand that the provisions of the, late act of Congress by which the salaries were increased should be promptly aud unconditionally repealed. Seventh— That the wise, patriotic and efficient administration of Gov. Horace Austin entitles him to the unqualified approbation of the whole people of the State: that the able and faithful discharge of the responsible duties of the ofticeof the Attorney-; -General by the: Hon, P. R, K. Cornell merits the highest public commendation. Ninth —That in view of the recent decision of the Land Department at Washington in favor of certaiorrailroad companies, and against a large class of settlers upon a portion of the public lands in thus State. whereby great-injury and suffering ia. likelv to result to such settlers, this Convention earnestly requests such action on the partof ottr Senators and Representatives.in .Congress as shall seenre the honest settler against any loss or Injury as far as possible. ' -■ HSfTiie Liberals cling, tlie cleverest of them, iti spite of their bitter experience, to the delusion that if they can shelter themselves behind some innocent-looking leader they can persuade the public that they are a great reform party, that virtue is theirs by sacred monopoly, and that everj r other party, especially the party to which tlie great majority Of tlie public belong, Is only a jpack of' knaves and fools, 7 who arc keeping the saints out of possession. Accordingly the Ohio Liberals pine for an unknown leader, without the incumbrance of a “record.” and innocent of the embarrassments of an established reputation. Given any sort of green bough to hold in front of them, and they will scare tlie Macbeth of the White House with the idea that ‘ ‘Birnam wood doth move to Dunsinane.” Their demagogueisTO, however, is very transparent.— New York Times. £3P“In the great case of Caleb Cushing versus “a certain dog accustomed to bark continually by day and night,” the country will instinctively rally to the side of Caleb. In the certain dog aforesaid it will discover a faint symbol of the Democratic party, which has been -‘‘accustomed to bark continually hv day and night” for lq! these many years, and whose temper has grown so much worse since the tinkettle of Liberalism was tied to his tail.. True to its political propensities, the dog which so worried Cushing belongs to Hon. Fernando Wood, as the great unter-' rifled bow-wowist itself is kenneled by the Furnamliwuds.-— St. Louis Globe. tgipA Democratic organ in Alabama, called the Limestone News-, feelscompelled to say “that if it can do any better, it fights no more under the -Democratic flag.” It further adds: “There is not a scrap of the old Democratic banner left big enough to darn a hole in the seat of a pair of breeches;” and furthermore, “One had as well'sing hymns to a dead mule as undertake to reconcile the animosities engendered by last year’s folly.” # » » ESP The conundrum now disturbing the mind of the Democratic party throughout the length and breadth of the land is, “who runs the machine ?” On this point there-prevails the greatest diversity of opinion!.' Some say it is Free-trade Brmkothers, the Chicago Times; and others, the New York World. Amid tliis conflict of views the poor Democrats are fairly bewildered, and sigh in vain for a chieftain to lead them back to tlie flesh pots of Egypt.-— Chicago Inter-Ocean. jy The Democratic papers officiously assure the farmers that in any political enterprise they undertake they will have reminds one of the position of Mickey’s horse in the scrub race. “Bedad,” said the cheerful owner of the steed, “he’s drivin’ everything before him. — Chicago Post. —ln the pavilion of the Ministry of Agriculture, at Vienna, a floating, cannon ball may be seen. Although weighing fifty pounds, it lies like a down feather on a silvery mass, consisting of pure quicksilver from the celebrated mines of Idria; one hundred and fifty hundred -weight of this’ metal is exhibited in a large iron cauldron, offering a sight seldom to be met with, and on it restrth'e solid "iron" ball. It was interesting to observe the emptying of the quicksilver into its receptacle. The metal is very cleverly stowed away in bags of white sheep leather, specially prepared for the purpose, each containing fifty pounds of the mass, the bags being tightly bound round the top, and then put into small wooden barrels, carefully bunged up. Formerly, this liquid metal, which penetrates easily all porous substances, was transmitted in wrought iron bottles of very expensive make.— Scientific American. _ _ _ —The New York Tribune correspondent says that Mark Twain is at Edwards’" Hotel in London, with an earl on one side of him and a count on the other, and Disraeli under his feet.

When ready to smoke they qan be soaked and then freshened to taste, if too salt. * ■ —Tomatoes in a New Fashion.—The following method of preparing tomatoes for the table, says an exchange, we are assured by one who has made the experiment, is superior to anything yet discovered for tlie preparation of that excellent article: Take good ripe tomatoes, cut them in slices, and sprinkle over them finely- pulverized white sugar,-th.eHAdd-claret wine sufficient lo cover them. ,—Tomato Catsup.-=Was r h'the"Motnatoes and press them through a fine seive to six quarts of juice and pulp; add the same quantity of best vinegar; then set it over the fire to boil.

Boil to tlie consistency of thin mush, then add four tablespoonfuls of salt, and take it out of the vessel. When cold, bottle and cork-tight. Boil in brass or or tin-lined vessel.

Cholera and Pain-Killer.

Perry Davis’ Pain-Killer.— I This unparalleled preparation is receiving more testimonials of its wonderful efficacy in removing • pains, than any other medicine ever offered to the public. And these testimonials come from persons of every degree of intelligence, and every rank of life. Physicians of the first respectability, and. perfectly conversant with the nature of diseases, and: remedies, recommend this as one of the most effectual in the line of preparations for the, cure of Cholera, Cholera Morbus and kindred bowel troubles now so common among the people. An Act of Justice. —Doubting Castle was a sad stumbling-block in the path of Bunyan’s Christian, though it couldn’t bar his way to Truth. We can sympathize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt always besets us when we are asked to believe anything, particularly extraordinary. Consequently, when we heard, some eighteen months ago, that a physician in California had compounded, from the juices and extracts of certain herbs found there, a medicine that cured almost every variety of blood disease, we were incredulous. Since then we have had opportunities of testing the accuracy of the report, aud are free to admit that our doubts have vanished. Seeing wliat we have seen, and knowing what we know, ifcrs impossible for us to. question the remedial properties of I)r. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters. That this famous vegetable Tonic. Alterative, and Antiseptic is a specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Chronic Constipation, Fever and Ague, Bilious Intermittents, Scrofulous Taint in the Blood, Incipient Consumption, Local and General Debility, Rheumatism, Sick Headache, and Diseases of the Kidneys, seems to be a matter beyond the pale of controversy —a fixed fact in medical history. The statements of friends, in whose veracity and intelligence we have full confidence, corroborated by our own personal observation, eompel us to admit the surpassing merits "of the.preparation.

l)r. ,T. Walker’s California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made, chiefly from the nativo herbs found on tlm lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of which are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, “ What is the cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Brrl’Eiis V’ Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and tlje patient recovers his liealth. Thej’ are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, , a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine hecn compounded possessing the remarkable qualitios of Yinkg-ar IjiTTKRH iirhealing the sick of eviry disease man is heir to.

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vinegar Bitters the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained tho sinking system. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair.

In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There* is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the-dark---colored viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating tho secretions of tlm liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with .Vinegar Bitters, No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed.
