TIIE WEALTH MAKERS. October IS. 1894 All HI HI MASKED MEN HOLD UP A TRAIN NEAR WASHINGTON. GET AWAY WITH OYER $150,000. Tba Job AccomplUhed With -Hut Little Trouble The Door of the Rxproit Car Mown Open With Dynamite The Menaeuger Opened the Safe on Being; Threatened With Instant Iteatli. ' Washington, Oct. 15. When the through special from Jacksonville for New York on the Richmond, Fred ricksburg and Potomac railroad was near Aquia creek, several miles be low Quantico, Va., not far from Mount Vernon, and only two hours' ride from here, at 9:20 o'clock last night, the engineer was signaled to stop. The porter went forward to see what had caused the signal and was confronted by seven masked men. As soon as the engine stopped they walked back towards the train and began to fire their weapons, at ' the same time warning everybody to keep inside the cars. A number of shots were fired but no one was hurt, though by this time the passengers had become ex cited by the fusilade and some of the more daring ones threw open the win dows to learn the cause of the firing. The robbers then went to the ex press car. They found the doors tightly barred by Messenger E. F. Critchfield and his helper, II. Murray, and were unable to force an entrance by persuasion or threats. They were supplied with dynamite and by its use the door of the express car was shattered ar.d an entrance gained. Messenger Critchfield was told that they would blow him up if he did not open the doors to the safes. , After demurring for a time the mes senger obeyed and opened the safes. The men got every cent of money that was in the car. Their demand for the way bill, when the express messenger declared that one safe was empty, and a remark that they made to the fireman, cautioning him about disconnecting the air-brake tubes when he uncoupled the engine on their demand, show that some mem bers of the gang had r?en railroad hands at some time or other. lie sides, after the engine was uncoupled it was boarded bv the robbers and run by them until near Widewater sta tion, a short distance from the site of the hold-up, where they abandoned it and sent it ahead running wild. I ran until a coal Unite was reached, where it was wrecked. The train was left standing until an engine was brought on from Quantico. The train remained at the scene of the robbery fully two and a half hours, and arrived here at 81.19 a. m., and later proceeded to New York. The door of the express car showed evidence of the dynamite. It was. however, allowed to proceed to New( i or k, ana tne expressman, uritch fleld, who was in charge, accompanied The robbers made off with their booty in the direction of the Potomao river, where, it is supposed, they had a boat in waiting to take them to the Maryland side. None of the robbers entered the passenger coaches. Express Messenger Critchfield thinks the booty secured was $150,000 or more. He gave this account of the robbery "JJut one robber entered the car. lie was of Heavy build and dressed like a farmer, although he seemed to thoroughly understand the express business. He had a red hand kerchief over the lower part of his face. When the train was stopped I opened the door of my car. The rob ber fired and shot at me. I fired back and closed the door. He called, 'open the door.' I did not do it 'Open that door or I'll blow the whole car to pieces with dynamite, he called. Then he threw a stick of dvnamite. It struck the door and shattered it and the casing. The force knocked me off my feet. I then opened the door. One robber came in and made r me open the safe. He took every thing. There was one package which he must have thought contained only . papers, for he threw it into the box. It contained $0,000. Then he said, Open that other safe.' That is sim- ! ply a deadhead safe, I said. 'The it is,' he roared. 'Show me your way bill for it' I started to get the bill and he said, "Keep your hands up; show me the paper, I'll get it' He looked at the bill and was satisfied that the second safe contained noth ing, which was through. The man was very cool all the time. He had seven or eiht through express pouches, each containing packages of money; how much I can't guess. The man cut a small slit in each pouch and took everv package." CATHOLICS ATTACKED. Ex-Commissioner Morgan Indulge In a Bitter Tirade. Minneapolis, Minn., Oct 15. Gen eral T. J. Morgan, Indian commis sioner under President Harrison, in an address before the state Baptist convention on "Rome in Politics," made a bitter attack on the Catholic church, which he declared was a pol itical organization. The pope, he said, would soon try to have the ablegate recognized at Wash' ington as an ambassador from a political sovereignty. He charged the Catholics with securing the defeat of Mr. Harrison on account of his administration of Indian affairs. He asserted that ninety-nine nut of every hundred Catholics were Democrats, only enough remaining Republican to keep up appearances. He referred to Archbishop Ireland as a man who carries a United States senator in his vest pocket for conven ient use and added that the arch' bishops of America were at this mo ment behind closed doors plotting against free school and the tree in stitutions of America. NEURALGIA cured bv Dr, Miles' Pair Fills. "One cent a dose, n At all druggist WILL WOMAN SUFFRAGE WIN? Leader of the Vtrloui Kansas Parties Express Widely Diverse View. Topeka, Kan., Oct 15. There is a difference of opinion among those who are supposed to be informed about the probable fate of the equal suffrage amendment. At the head quarters of the suffrage campaign committee the claim is made that the proposition will receive a major ity of 15,000. Chairman Hreidental of the Populist state committee gives the women 5,000 better and says the majority will be 20,000. At Republi can headquarters the result is re garded as doubtful, while Chairman Richardson of the Democratic com mittee says there is no doubt what ever that the amendment will be de feated by 15,000 majority. Conserva tive friends of the proposition esti mate the majority at about 12,000. They count the entire Democratic vote Rtrainst the proposition, and fig ure that 10 per cent of all the voters will not express themselves either way. SUFFERING FROM CANCER. That Is Now What Is Bald to Be Ailing the Ciar of All the Itusslas. London, Oct 15. A dispatch from Berlin says that rumors still circulate in St Petersburg medical circles that the czar is suffering from a cancerous disease of the kidneys.

We ITave Cot Alone Very Nicely So Far by Attending; Strictly to Our" Own Basinesi, and l'rope t Continue Doing: So, With All Doe Kespect to Knglund and Other Nation-. New York, Oct 15. A special dis patch from Shanghai says that China is suing for peace through the British minister at Tokia She offers to recognize the independence of Corea and to pay a large money indemnity. This proposal emanates from Prince Kung and Li Hung Chang. The Brit ish minister, Mr. O'Connor, is waiting for Japan's reply at Pekin. A special dispatch from Washing ton states that the United States has been invited by the quadruple alli ance, composed of Great Britain, France, Germany and Russia, to join it in a friendly intervention in the war between China and Japan, but that the invitation will be declined because of the time-honored policy of this government to avoid any entang ling alliances with foreign powers. Acknowledgment is made of the truth in what the invitation has to say about the desirability of the restora tion of peace, etc., but in the polite language of diplomacy it is pointed out that this country has so far thriven very well attending to its own business and so long as it con tinues to prosper by that policy it will not depart from it.

NO PARTS TO BE CUT OFF. Master In Chancery Cornish's Union Pacific Report. Omaha, Neb., Oct. 15. Two reports of the most importance to the interests of the Union Pacific system were filed this afternoon by Special Master in Chancery William D. Cornish in the United States circuit court here, covering findings and reco-amenda-tions in the matter of non-paying roads of the Union Pacific system, and the petition of the receivers to be re lieved of the obligations under cer tain contracts. Upon the questions arising out of the receivers- with ref erence to the Denver, Leadville and Gunnison ra.lway line, the master re serves a report for further hearing. As to the Junction City & Fort Kearney railway company in Kansas, the master finds that the property was operated at a loss, but he recom mends the continued operation of the road along the lines .laid down. ' The Salina and Southwestern Rail way company in Kansas was operated at a loss of $11,064. The master thinks that modifications can be made in the division of revenues that will permit of the continuance of the op eration of the road by the receivers. As to the Kansas Central railway compan ,- the property has been oper ated at a loss. The master nnds that no modifications or adjustments of freight or passenger rates allowed to such lineWn be made so as to mater ially increase its revenues. , He rec ommends that the receivers be al lowed to operate the road so long as in their judgment they can operate the same safely and with benefit to the property. In relation to the Kansas City and Omaha Railway company, the master finds that the property has been oper ated at a loss. He recommends that the receivers be allowed to make such modifications in the division of reven ues and the routing of business as in their judgment shall be just and equitable. As to ths Atchison, Colorado and Pacific and the Atchison, Jewell County and Western, all questions arising between the receivers and the Union Pacific and the Missouri Pacific are reserved for further consider ation.

The mem ory of Robert Morris, the revolution ary financier, was honored to-day by the dedication as a memorial to him of the old land office of the Holland purchase, built about 1804 by the Hol land Purchase Historical society that it might be preserved. The cliiel dedicatory address was made by John G. Carlisle, secretary of the treasury, and lineal descend ants of the great superintendent of -finance were represented among the multitude of listeners. Among the distinguished guests were Daniel S. Lainont, secretary of war, and Post master General Bissell. Prior to the formal exercises a parade was held, the members of the cabinet reviewing it from a stand in front of the land office. Succeediug the review of the parade came the unveiling of the tablet over the door of the land office. Prayer was then offered by Bishop Stephen Vincent Ryan o,f the Roman Catholic diocese of Buffalo.

Minister Thnrston to Go te Europe to Work for Farm immlgrat on. Washington, Oct 15; Minister Thurston of Hawaii will sail for Eu rope next Wednesday on the steamer Paris, and during his absence Ha waiian matters will be under the su pervision of Charge D' Affaires Has tongs. "There is no limit to the time that I will remain abroad," said Mr. Thurston to-day. "My govern ment has given me quite a task to perform. It is the desire of the re public of Hawaii to offset as much as possible the Asiatic influences in our islands by encouraging European immigration. What we want most' is to induce families to go the islands and settle plan tations and cultivate the land. For this purpose I shall go first to London, where I propose to make inquiries as to the status of cheap farm labor with, a view of inducing as many as possible of them to immigrate to Hawaii. There is no particular inducement being held out to laborers from the United States, as wages are higher here than there, but in Europe it is not so. Should the English farm laborers and their families not evince a desire to avail themselves of the opportunities which I will throw in their way it is more than probable that I shall continue my journey to Portugal in quest of laborers. " One Soldier Shoots Another. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 15. First Ser geant Edgar L. Schuler of Company A, Fifteenth United States infantry, sta tioned at Fort Poter, was writing yes terday morning in the barracks rooms when Sergeant Thomas Marri ,ott entered the room and without warning fired straight at Sergeant Schuler's stomach.

It is admitted by all intelligent farmers and stock feeders, that to get the full benefit of grain is to grind it. The question however, whether the cob is worth grinding is no new one. The experience of our best informed farmers, and actual experiments on the subject is, that cob ground with the corn makes much better feed than wheu ground alone. Shelled corn alone is too strong when fed heavy, and is apt to cause indigestion. If you would get the benefit of feed there must be perfect digestion. To feed meal alone it often goes into the stomach and passes off without being rechewed. With cob, however, it being of a coarse nature, forces the animal to re-chew the food, and this is essential to perfect digestion. Stock raisers claim that the grinding of cob with corn effects a saving of from 30 to 40 per cent. Cattle are "off their feed less" and will put on one-third more fat. For catalogue and prices of the best Feed Grinder in the world, address Joldit Strowbridgk Co., Joliet, 111. OUR CONDITION. What the IntereHt Bearing Debt Will Eventually Result In. According to Mr. Walker, a repub lican member of congr. ss from Massa chusetts, the people of the United States owe deb s, public and private, amounting to $32,000,000,000. We take Mr. Walker as authority because, coming from New England, and be ing a republican, he will not be ac cused of placing the figures too high. ' It is claimed by some that the rate of interest on this indebtedness will average 8 per cent per annum. But to be entirely safe and conservative for the purpose of this artic e, we will place the rate at 5 per cent Six per cent on $32,000. 000,000 amount; to $1, 920,000,000. Now what will it take to pay this interest? The corn crop of the country in 1895 was 1,62s, 164,001 bushels If it brought an average of 40 cents per bushel, we have $651,385,- 000 as itstotnl value. Our wheat crop ; the same ye ir was 5 19, 490, 000 bushels, which at an average price at 80 cents a bushel, gives us $415,592,000. Our oat crop was 661,037,000 bushels and at 25 cents per bushel we have $165, 259,000. Our go'd mines produced $33,000,000, and our siiver mines $75, 000,000. Now let us r ut the value of all these products together and see how we come out. Value of corn crop. ....$ 651,385,600 Value of wheat n op 451,592,000 Vnlue of oat crop 165,159,000 Value of gold crop. 39,000,000 Value of silver crop 75,000,000 $1,346,136,600 But the interest bill is .1,950,000,000 So there is a balance of $578,763,300 to make up after giving up our gross product, as above shown. To pay this balance it will take our entire cotton and hay crops. It is estimated that two-thirds of this interest is paid indi rectly to foreigners. Now friends, Americans, freemen, how do you Tike it as far as we have gone? We select thes-e great staples for illustration, to aid the mind in grasping the vast proportions of the burden upon us. If we reserve any of the products for our own use we have made up therefore in something else or equal value. The debt is now equal to one-half the entire wealth of the nation It draws 6 per cent and will double in twelve years. The wealth of the nation increases at the rate oi 3 per eent.and hence will take twenty five years to double. Therefore the debt will double twice while the wealth is doubling once, and at the end of twenty-four years it will equal the wealth of the nation. St Louis Monitor.

Nothing can be ciothed with more facts than the statement that thousands of farmers and fruit growers wjj leave the more northern climes and locate in Texas.
