a train on the Mexican Central railroad

boon one of the leading spirits.
TIIF.IK CIUME.
At 9 o'clock on the evening of No
vember 15th , the express on the Mexi
can Central , from Santillo to Laredo ,
Texas , waa waylaid by a gang of forty
masked men , composed of botliMexicans
and Americans , who tore up the track at
Sanchz station , ten miles west of Laredo.
The train reached the break in the track
while going at a speed of twenty-two
miles an hour , and the engine was
thrown over an embankment , killing the
fireman , Charles Fentor. The train re
mained on the track intact , and the rob
bers , who were concealed in bushes ,
rushed forth and captured it. The pas
sengers wore not interfered with , but
the robbers took charge of the express
car and proceeded to break open the
messenger's safe , which contained ? 20-
000 in
OOLD AND SILVER COIN.
The approach of the train from Laredo
frightened them away , and they fled
without securing the money in the safe ,
but they took with them § 8,000 in silver
bullion , which was in b.igs on the lloor of
the car. In a few hours troops were in
hot pursuit of the robbers , who worn pur
sued to their fastness in the mountains
and captured after a dosporatc resistance.

and myself entered into the partnership
agreement. It was represented that

bora of the firm. " Col. Grant closed

Mr. Post submitted to the IIOUHO this
inorninu ; for ruforencu , the report of tlio
minority of the committee on the Pacific ,
railroads on the bill amending tlio sinking -
, ing fund act. Tlio minority banco its re
port , and a bill which it proposes ns a
substitute for the mujorily bill , on the
conceded failure of the Tluirmiiu not to
accomplish the purposu intended , duo U
the conditions which have arisen Bilbao
quont to its pasei'go ' , It was not thui
foreseen that the 0 , fi and > l pur cunt ,
government bonds might ha called in
and intended at a lower rate of interest
The minority b > IUTJ Thurimiii'H at the
best but a temporary makeshift , and my
the adjustment of the debt must ncctM
sarily bu based on thu extension of time
Thu minority huliovo it wisent to devise
HOIIIO scheme whereby thu whole indubt

Sumo of the Pacific roads , and tending
to compel by legislation a reduction o *
rates on all roads would eventually hav <
to bu taken to liquidate the debt , boiiif
deemed by the minority of minor import
unco in comparison with the security o
the ultimate ) and entire debt , with inter
eat , to an absolute certainity. Owing t
the effectual and pei HIS tent competition
which the Pacific railrcada now 'Jmve
which necessarily seriously impair the !
earnings , it is boliuved an incroaati
ire' ution , aa poeod by the bill re
ported by the majority , would compel
the subsidized portions of roads , and M a
consequence reduce trafllo on through
freights , It is also believed it would re
sult in an incrcnao of local freight nnd
passoiiBor rales , which would impose ad
ditional burduuson Iho people of ICanaar ,
Nebraska , Nevada , Colorado and Califor
nia , as well as tee residents of the terri
tories through which Iho lines are oper
ated ; and that the policy of reduction
rates now being pursued by
Abandoned to the serious injury of
local patrons , the minority doom it un
wise to coerce the company by inimical
legislation to resort ( o a measure which
would bo detrimental to the people resid
ing along thcno great thoroughfares. If
no extension bo given , the probabilities
are the foreclosure of the first mortgngo
bonds would extinguish the debt of tlio
government , unless it is prepared to pay
for the Union Pacific ( including tha Kan
sas Pacilio ) SIM,000,000 , , nnd for the
Central Pacific nearly § 28,000,000 , to
coyer the debt with interest , which has
priority over the governments. The bill
presented by the minority fixes a day on
which the debt of the companies to the
government shall bo ascertained , on tlio
nann principle ns if whole debt nnd in
terest , at 3 per cent per annum , and de
ducting froniBiich amount all paymontn
liy companies in money or transportation ,
or otherwise , and extending the time at
interest of tun per cent per annum. Tha
period of extension for the payment of
the last instalment of the indubtcdncst
is forty-six yoara beyond the late maturity
of the subsidy bonds , an average exten
sion of the whole debt of twenty-throe
yearn. The minority report is signed by
Messrs. Post , Cassidy , llanback and
