The transaction Is es pecially important in the present con dition of business as showing the con fidence of manufacturen in the con dition of the market. It is a courage ous step and likely to bring out the fact that the buyers are prepared to operate as soon as they find that holders have eonfldence In the situation. Then is food reason to expect the sale will seat ore tone to the dry goods trade and start again the machinery of this im portant branch of business, Tke Rotteet Day of tha Yam.

Another daring and successful train robbery goes on record. The New York express train on the Lake Shore road, which left Chicago at 7?45 last nleht reached the aidinr at KmIh five lugo reacnea me siding at Hosier, bve mues west et nere at 1 ociock this morning. On approaching the switch Engineer Knapp noticed a red danger signal light and stopped the train. As he did so twenty men, armed with Winchesters, spnng out of the woods and scattered along the train, covering the trainmen, while one fired at tha engineer, inflicting a wound In his shoulder. With everything in their bands, the robbers blew open the ex press car with dynamite. They then knocked the expnss messenger sense- less ana exploded nve dynamite can ridges against the safe before it yielded. They then helped themselves to the contents, the whole performance oc cupying on hour. Then without mak ing any attempt on the other express ear or interfering with the passengers, who remained in the can panic-stricken they fired a few warning shots and ilsappeared in the woods. It was rumored that the robben se wed $250,000 in transit from one of the Chicago banks to New York. The rumor has not yet been verified. The train came on here and an alarm was riven and the sheriff at once summoned posse and started in pursuit of the bandits. SMASHED THE THROUGH SAFE. Engineer Knapp brought the train ere, but was unable to ge further on iccound of his wound. It is believed te will recover. There wen two safes o the express car, for through matter. Se which tbe messenger bad no key. ind one for local matter. Tbe robbers ompelleii tbe messenger to open the id all safe, from which several thousand lollanin currency was taken. They hen blew open the big safe with dyna-j Bite. In an outer apartment was a ruarter of million dollan gold, with shlch the robben loaded themselves, lot stopping to open the inner com wrtment, in which was another lot of noney. In their haste to get away the sobers also overlooked two gold bars. The train is the heaviest for express on he road and frequently carries $500, XX). It is believed that this fact was: mown to tbe robbers. When they left he train they went in a southerly Urection. Tbe point at which the tibbery occured is in a deep cut in the iroods, but all the country around is ihickly populated, with little timber, tnd it is believed to be impossible for he robben to escape. AS IF SWALLOWED BY THE EARTH. Immediately after the robben rode iway from the scene of the holdup Marshal Bertalter, Mayor Marcy and a osse from this city started in rigs for Kessler. They scoured the dense woods tnd cornfields and ransacked all the impty buildings in tbe neighborhood, lut not a trace of a robber could be tound. It is evident that the bandits itarted in a southerly direction and that they wen well equipped with torses. Sheriff Hanck of Noble coun ty hurried from his home in Albion and lOinedthe marshal's forces, which were later reinforced by Detective Need ham, if the Lake Shore company. The alac ricy with which the bandits made their wcape is almost as sensational as the robbery itself. Again tha House of Lord London, Sept. 14. Tbe national fsdetation issued a circular against the house of lords. In this circular the federation declares that seven years' liscussion and thirty-two day's con lidention by the bouse of commons bad definitely ascertained the wishes of 1,000,000 of the electors, yet this counts for nothing when opposed to the views of four hundred conservative peers. Continuing, tbe circular declaring that the mending of the house ot lords is bow in the front rank of tbe liberal1 programme, in accord witn uiaastooe s declaration at New Castle. Tbe circulation concludes that as tbe homo nut ma passea we nouse oi commons. and was rejected by the house of lords, It is doubly certain to become a law. It also says that not only will tbe Irish question be settled, but that; a real en of reform is dawning for the democracy of the United Kingdom. Will Bow bo Mora. Montreal, Que, Sept 14.

It is reported from Klssenger that Uismark is seriously ill, saving lost the use of both of his hands. It Is said that Bisraark was stricken with paralysis while being fel by his assistants, and tbe doctors an holding a consultation of tbe gravest nature. Though the real state of his health may be somewhat exaggerated, there seems no nason to doubt that his illness is most serious. Sciatica is said to be the foundation of tbe disease. Dispatches luqulring about his health are being re seived at Kissinger from all parts of Europe. It is hardly believed that he bas paralysis, but then is little hope that be will live any great length of time. It is reported that the emperor Specalists in Berlin are being consulted is to the advisability of removing Bis marck to a milder climate. His pres ent condition is thought to be due to bis persistence in receiving deputations in the open air in defiance of his doton arders. Gone up In Smoke Cnrrr-EWA Falls, Wis., Sept. 13.

Regarding tbe Chinese. Washington, Sept. 13. Attorney General Olney bas instructed the Unit ed States marshals to take no further steps for the enforcement of the Geary law pending specific instructions to tbe contrary from Washington. These in structions do not apply, however, to Chinese already in process of deporta tion by due process of law. The new Chinese minister was in formed today of the intention of the administration to suspend further ac tion under the exclusion act pending tbe action of congress on the bill in troduced by Representative Everett to extend to September 1, 1891, the time in which Chinese may register. Tbe change in attitude is, it is believed, due to strong prote ts of the Chinese government, coupled with an intima tion that in event of the refusal of such action that government would no longer assume the responsibility for tbe future safety of Americans in Chinese territory.

DISPATCHER- ALONE TO HAKE HaaTyLeaSaS Saaaklag Oar Talaeepe y tfce TarrlSe Vraah-Saaaa a la YbKlaaa Harrifclj Rtaagla Tha laejalrj. Chicago, Sept. 9. Two fast trains on tbe Pennsylvania mil road crashed into each other near Colebour, a small town near the Indiana state line, Thursday morning, and in an instant eleven lives were lost aod nearly a scon of other unfortunates wen mained and mangled. dispatchers are to blame. The casuality appears to have been the result of a blunder inexcusable by the railroad officials. Two trains were scheduled to pass south on tbe single line track between Colehour, 111., and Hammond, lnd., constructed by the Pennsylvania to meet tbe exigencies of tbe world's fair traffic. At abont the same time a train was due north on the track, and this appears to have been fully understood in the train dispatch er's office. It was arranged to give tbe north train, due at the union depot at 9:35 o'clock, with milk and way passen gers from, Valparaiso, lnd., the right of way, and it was ordered to proceed toward Chicago and did so at the rate of thirty miles an hour. In the meantime trains Nob, 160 and 12. the latter the Pan Handle limited express, were supposed to have been held on the double track at Cole hour to await the passage of No. 45, tbe milk train. Orden were given tbe operator at Colebour to bold No. 160. but nothing was said to him about No. 12. He obeyed orden and No. 12 was allowed to enter upon the single track on Its schedule time running forty miles an hour, directly toward tbe milk train, which bad also been giveu the right of way in an opposite direction on the same track. WAS A TERRIBLE CR1SH. The Pan Handle express had pro ceeded but a short distance on its way and was rounding a slight curve when the milk train was sighted ahead, and the two trains, scarcely slacking in speed in the short distance, dashed in to each other. The wreck which en sued was complete, xhe engine crews saved their lives by jumping, tbe two locomotives com ng together a moment later with a crash that wrecked both and drove the baggage car of tbe Pan Handle train completely through tbe smoking car behind it. In this car were about forty passengers and in it the loss of life occurred. So completely was the car wrecked that it seemed miraculous that any of those in it escaped aliv', but when rescuers rallied to the scene and began work, it was found that many who bad been on the ill-fated car were foremost in their ranks. SUCH A WRECK NEVER SEEN. The dismantled engine and can threw tbe engine of the exprebs train back with such a force that in turn lifted the baggage car up and drove it like a glove into the smoking car just behind. Railroad men there said they bad never seen similar results. With fearful power the baggage car was forced into and almost to the far end of the smok ing car. To allow this the car spread somewhat and the force of the horizon tal blow having been expended, the framework of tbe baggage car settled down and crushed the life out of those who bad not already been mowed down in its path. From this smoking car most of the dead and wounded were taken. This was a difficult task, for tbe dead and suffering were buried be neath the heavy floor of the baggage car and the firet arrivals at the scene of tbe wreck found arms and legs ex tending from every window. Every time a portion of the debris was re moved it seemed as if another body would be exposed to view. OOTJLD NOT BE RECOGNIZED. Tbe most horrible sight was the mass of human remains that was dashed against the tender of the Pan Handle locomotive. It had once been a man. Some said that be was a tramp and that be bad been stealing a ride. on the "blind baggage" platform. When the collision came this unknown man was crushed into a mass of jelly between tbe baggage car and the beajn tender, One man whose name has not yet been learned, was thrown partially out of tbe smoker window and a ton or mora of tbe wreckage pinioned tbe remain der of tbe body within tbe wrecked car. All efforts to disengage the body wen unavailing and ;the livid features of tbe dead man stared the rescuers la tbe face. 1 be uninjured passengen were put aboard a train and brought back to Chicago, while the dead wort taken to a South Chicago morgue. lafeetad With Ckaleras Berlin, Sept. .

It is believed that upon the result of this bombardment the future movements of the rebels will be decided. In eonsequeuce or this announcement arrangements wen made to send the foreign ships aud merchant, vessels at Bio to positions tut of the line of tbe fire. A British gunboat was to leave tbe bay early Thursday morning to warn all incoming vessels to stay off the coast until the result of the bombardment is learned. Much anxiety is felt in Rio as to the fate of tbe city iu the event o.' the suc cess or the reDels, for, in spite or the dispatches sent out by the government there are doubts as to the loyalty of the boats at bay.
