KANSA3 Cixr, Ma, Oct. 2k Chicago
!lb Alton westbound train No. 48, duo
hero tit 0:50 p. m., was held tip onc-hnlf
mile enst of Gondnlc, which is 5)1 miles
etist of Independence, just nftcr darlc
last nlffht by four marked men. Tho
men escaped by mounting tho cnglno
and riding two miles to tho top of tho
prado just beforo Touching" Independ
ence. Hern they abandoned it and it
was subsequently found by tho pursu
ing train crew, taken back and tho
train brought Into Kansas City at 8:15
last night. Not a chot was fired, no
ono was hurt and tho only other booty
got outside of what was secured in tho
express cur wus .-'i.) from Firemen A. E.
I'ost.
Tho train, which was in charge of
Conductor A. J. Fell and Engineer
James Wetton, was running on time,
at full speed, when, just as it entered
Illuo cut, one-half milo cast of Glen
dale, it was flagged by a white light
swung slowly across tho track. Wet
ton reversed his engine, threw on tho
brakes and brought his train to a stop
in the midst of the cut, where it was
pitch (lurk, tho high rock walls shut
ting out the faintest ray of the fading
daylight. Ho looked out from Mh
engine to ascertain what was wrom.',
when a gruff voice commanded: "Git
down out o' that, and bo quick
about it!"
Wetton looked Into tho muzzle of a
double-barreled shotgun aud obeyed.
Post, his firomnn, did likewise. Two
more men, armed to the teeth, enmo
out of tho darkness and mounted tho
engine. Ono of them picked up tho
lireman's coal pick, while the other
started to cut the engine oil! from tho
train.
Meanwhile Fireman Post was
marched to the door of tho express
car and commanded to tell Express
Messenger Andy Shields to open up.
Shields refused and tho robbers began
to batter in tho door with the coal
pick. This proving futile, he shouted
to Shields once more to "open or he'd
shoot tho fireman I" Post also advised
Shields to give way, saying that he'd
be shot if lie didn't. Shields finally
threw open tho door, net, however, un
til ho had thrown nearly nil the loose
money into a chicken coop, where it
was not found. Two men entered tho
express car and Shields was command
ed to give up what he had. Ho pro
tested that tho big through safe had
been locked when placed aboard, and
that ho did not have tho combination.
In this he was supported by Wetton
and Post. The robbers rummaged
about the car, picked up two or threo
packages of old jewelry und about S300
in money and left.
Going back to tho engine all four
men mounted It and started away.
Wetton shouted to them to be sure and
put en the air brakes when they
stopped or there might be a smnshup.
They replied that they would and
Htarted on west toward Independence.
The engineer and fireman ran after
them up the track, but were soon dis
tanced. However, they continued
their chase, and finally came upon the
engine, standing with all steam up but
with brakes unrest just on tho top of
the long grade which leads into Inde
pendence, nearly two miles from tho
train.

EIGHT PEOPLE KILLED.
An Kxcurftlon Train Wreck Near St. I.onls
CuiMcd by CnrelcRftiicss.
St. Louis, Oct. 20. Shortly beforo
ton o'clock yesterday morning two
passenger trains on tho St Louis fc
San Francisco railroad, going in op
posite directions, collided near Wind
sor station, about 18 miles from this
city, instantly kllliug eight persons
and injuring 01 more.
Tho collision occurred between tho
Bccond section of an excursion train
bound west and tho 'Frisco Valley
park accommodation. From what can
bo learned tho accident was the result
of disobedience or neglect of orders on
tho part of tho excursion train crew,
who should have remained nt Sprink
park for orders and to havo lot tho ac
commodation train through. Tho ex
cursion train was the, second section
of a special, bound for St. James, Mo.
According to J. D. Dlshman, tho
telegraph operator and station
agent at Spring park, it should havo
stopped at that placo for orders.
Instead of doing so tho second section
passed by tho Btation, and soon after
met tho accommodation coming down
grade at full speed. Engineer Hohl,
of tho accommodation, was not awaro
the second section was on tho road,
and in trying to make the switch at
Kirkwood crashed into tho ill-fated
train In a cut, just 111 miles from tho
St Louis union Rtation. Thero were
only three cars, a baggage car and two
coaches on Engineer llohl's train, but
tho collision was terrific, both engines
being demolished and a number of thu
cars telescoped. Tho wreckage was
piled high on the track, and above tho
sound of escaping' steam could bo
heard tho cries of tho frightened and
injured passengers.
A JAIL DELIVERY.
Six DcHncrute CrlinlrmlH Miiko Their Kucnpo
at Louisville, Ky.
Louisvn.r.i:, Ky., Oct 20. A daring
jail delivery was perpetrated last night
at tho county jail shortly after 5:30
o'clock, and six desporato prisoners
made their escape. The delivery was
supposed to be a wholesale one, in
which every prisoner confined on tho
third floor of tho old jail was to get
out, but the watchfulness of the turn
keys prevented this, and only six men
escaped. They gained their liberty by
scraping the mortar from the bricks in
cell No. G, letting tho bricks fall into
tho interior of the cell, and in this
manner they got a holo largo enough
for them to climb through. One at n
time, they made their way out of tho
holo and climbed up on to the roof.
Then, by means of a short rope, they
let themselves down into a narrow ni
ley between the wall of the jail yard
and an abutment of tho now jail, and
escaped.
PLUNDER LEFT WITH PRIESTS.
rjfteon Hundred Dotlurn Stolen from an
K'iiresH Company JCoturned.
Wahi'kto.v, N. D., Oct 20. A week
ago tho Great Northern express was
robbed of $1,500, the money being
taken from tho agent's safe whllo ho
was on his way to the post office with
a remittance. Detectives woro 6ent
for from St Paul and every effort was
made to get some trace of tho cash,
but entirely without avail, and tho
money was giyen up for lost by tho
local officials. Five dnys later tho
priests of St. James' Catholic church
here sent word to tho company that
they had the full amount in their pos
session and were ready to turn it over
to Its owners. It has now been taken
by tho express company. It Is not
probable that any uction to discover
the robbers will be taken. The priests
say the discovery was made in the con
fessional. AWFUL CRIME CHARGED.

THE NIGHT TOILET.
A Good Grooming Hcforo ltetlrlng la
Very Henodolal.
Few women Boem to appreciate tho
necessity as well ns the value of a night
toilet. They reserve all their groom
ing methods for daylight trial mid aro
content to slip into bed with only a
hasty attack on their teeth with tho
toothbrush nnd n few rapid strokes of
tho hairbrush upon their locks.
Now the ultra-fastidious sister would
ns soon think of slighting her toilet
details before Bhc goes to dreamland
ns sho would venture into the breakfast-room
with uncombed locks.
Sho realizes thnt night is the timo
to repair whatever ravages the day has
made in her looks.
In the first place, just before going
to bed is the beat time to take n warm
bath, for tho bather then has the en
tire night to rest if there is nny fatiguo
attendant upon the hot tubbing.
Night is the proper time to tnke n
facial steam bath. This pore-cloaiiBlng
plan Is apt to make tho skin look
blotchy and red for a time, and it is nn
advantage to be able to apply a crenmy
unguent nnd let the "parboiled" citcot
wear oif before morning.
When there is need of a fncial bath
of soap nnd wntcr (and there are times
when the skin calls for this practical
cleansing), it is better to take it just
before retiring. The use of a little cold
cream will remedy the drawn, stretched
feeling the skin is likely to assume,
but no woman can start out on her d,y's
duties with a cream-daubed counte
nance. Ilcnco the value of the night
toilet. Those much-tnlkcd-nbout "ifft.y
strokes of the hairbrush" should bo
doubled nt night when the dust that
has accumulated in madume's tresses
needs to be removed. It is an untidy
hnbit, this slighting tho head ns well
ns any other part of the body. Noth
ing betrays lack of attention so plainly
ns one's hair.
No one can expect to secure a lus
trous, satiny head of hair if too lazy
to bring the brush into vigorous play.
Dentists' bills would be less heavy If
women would npprecinto the valne of
thorough mouth grooming before re
tiring. The tooth brush should be deftly
carried into every crevice of the teeth
and the mouth well rinsed out with a
little water und myrrh or listerinc.
One young girl whose hands are tho
admiration of all her friends confides
that she does her most cnreful mani
curing before she goes to bed, incas
ing her hnndB, nfter the digits havo
been artfully tended, in cerate gloves.
In the morning she has only to wash
her hands in n lather of enstile sonp
nnd warm wnter or use n little nlmond
menl nnd they nre perfection from
wrist to finger tip.
Going to bed with hnlf-soiled hands
is sure to rub the dirt in, so to speak,
nnd the skin soon loses its fineness of
texture. Philadelphia Inquirer.

Only the formalities in connection
with the recognition by Great Uritain
of the sovereignty of llrnzil over the
Trinidad archipelago require to be com
pleted; the question has been prac
tically settled in favor of Hra.il. Tho
matter was not submitted to arbitration.
The island of Trinidad come into prom
inence upon the proposal to make it n
cable station between Europe nnd Uin
idl, but owing to its volcanic condition
it has been found unsuitable for tho
purpose, nnd it hns consequently again
become of very small importance so far
as Great Prituin is concerned. The
island is so closely surrounded by rocks
that it is even difficult to effect, a land
ing. The Brazilian government is considering-
the advisability of building u
lighthouse on an island of the group.
