It went past tbe town, .and bad hardly gone a mile through a stretch of timber land when tbe engineer slowed op near a curve. A* tbe engine rattled annuo! the torn the engineer saw a red light ahead. When tbe train came to a stop a dozen men 'sprang into tbe cab,shot tbe engineer, seriously wounding him, and then blew open the express ear with dynamite and drilled open one of foe safes, getting safeJy away witb their booty. TSe car dynamited belonged to th-3 United States Exprese Company, ani General Superintendent Crosby of that company declared lifts afternoon that the lota) loss by the robbers is ' way below $20,t)w. . He says the robbers thought they were carrying away national bank notes, but secured mostly papers worthless to them, and they overlooked $15,000 of gold bul lion. In the safe blown open was V sealed bag full of packages done up about the size and shape of a package of bank notes. These packages were marked $1,000, $2,000, and ao on. These figures indicate the value thai the packet was listed at, but practi cally they were worth nothing more to the robbers than the paper they contained; Their content* consisted of settlements with agents, receipts for nponey, legal papers, etc., which can all be duplicated after a time. It was a load of this nature and very" little actual money which Jjke robbers aecu red. _ .Qa^y? or ax men, be rays, were concerned in the robbery. The rumor that the safe contained a shipment of $250,000 from a Chicago to a New Yorit bank could not be confirmed, the only fact lend ing any credence to the story being the recent rise in the value of New York exchange. None of the bank officials admitted having made a ship ment, and the express company's offi cers denied that there was any such amount on the train. President Ngwel, of the JLake Shore road, this afternoon otiered a reward of the capture and convie tio? of the robbers. Later. ? A tramp who was steal ing a ride on the train claims to have seen the whole occurrence. He says there .were fet least twenty men in toe gang, and some of the train men pat the number as High as twenty-five. The dynamite having wrecked only feex2>rett car, the robbers contented 3. , Wfed the on tfcrehgine, Engineer Knapp , lad one "hand on the throttle, and he at tempted to start the train. One of the desperadoes poshed a big revolver against his .shoulder and fired.

The amount stolen by thetrain robbers is $19^60. Within two hours of thejcoaimfision ot the crime, Capt Byh? was on his way to the scene with a detachment of detectives from his Buffalo district The first trains oat of Pittsburg, Cin cinnati, Toledo, Detroit, Indianapolis. Chicago and Louis carried squads of detectives in the employ of the United States Eirwess Comnanv and the confederated companies. The Lake Shore threw a force of men on work from its Cleveland office; ao. that ii^the opinion of Secretary Henry , not less than 100 ?rautod detectives are already 3? the track of the robberg. He did not believe any gang of crook* j could escape Use force pot after them, j ?u The express company's officers are | perfectly well satisfied that the rob bery was committed by expert safe blowers, who know the use of dyna mite and jnst how to get at the' vulner able spots in the safe. This, in their; Opinion, ought to make the chase more certain /?cr end in the capture of the robbers and the recovery of the money ifiaar%therwiae would have been the case. Detective Molanney, cluef of the secret service man of the\ake Shore, believes the roo^erfi are\*i eqaied in - the . swamps ot (Northern Indiana, and has several \ahente5 ma ss scouring the axmtr^oo all ai&x of the scene of the ^pbbery. v ?

This; statement was baaed on what was said by the members of the State board after the meeting.

PIX3T THE POOR PENSIONER! * & A wail of woe fro* the wooly WAST. vi \ * Appeal Cor Protection from Secret Ofllcers oj^bc Government WhowK^a^l Hess II Is ^Ferret Oat ^ - IVuilon Frauds. j Washington, Sept 15. ? Among the petitions presented in the Senate today was one by Mr Culloin, signed by a large number of ex-soldiers, Resi dents of bis State, alleging that ^hey were beset by defectives of the govern ment, traveling in disguise, secretly ^co-opejrftting with those who, have been distinguished by their antipathy tor those who fought for the flag. It is alleged that these spjes, with friendly pretenses, visit the homes of pension ers, and, with the basest hypocracy and. fawning deception, seek to find some clew to furnish information to the Pension Office to deprive old vet erans of their pensions. The petition ers ask protection against the methods of government officers who seek to brand pensioners as perjurers aud criminals, without the right of being heard in their own defense, and to be shielded from the false and base im putation of those high in power wjio seek to discredit aud dishonor the Union soldiers ot the late war, and to be protected iu their old age *froiq the severity and bitterness of l?rty and political persecution. In presenting the petition Mr Cul lom said he had had it read in full be cause it contaiued very serious allega tions. which, if true, ought to be brought to light, so that the country may know what i6 going on, aud that Congress may take action to protect Union veteran soldiers. He intended to have moved fo? instructions to the ccfeimittee on pensions, but as the chairman of that committee, his; col league (Palmer), was absent, he would not do so, knowing full well that his colleague would take proper action. Ou motion of Mr Hoar, the privil ege* of ti?e floor were exteuded for one week to William Wirt Henry, of Virginia, as an eminent citizen who bore an illustious name, and who came to the city to deliver an address at the ceremonies in celebration of the hundreth anniversary of the laying of the foundation of the Capital. At 12:35, the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the5 repeal bill and was addressed in defense of the bill, by Mr Lindsay (Dem) of Ken tucky ? it being hife first speech in the Senate, except some remarks .of an obituary character. He argued that the repeal bill left unimpaired the bill of 1890 so far a* it effected th6 coinage of silver in the future. It was strange, he said, to hear Senators assert that the repeal of the Sherman act wonld be to demonetize silver and to strike down the last hope of those who held to the popular idea of bi metallism. Stronger still was the claim of Democratic Senators that the repeal bill was undemocratic and in opposition to the Chicago platform. Thepertineut question, "If we are not to coin silver, why purchase it?" had been asked in July 1800, when . - - ? n ? *-?* - -j. '?7 ' sion. It had not been answered then; it had not been answered since; and itxjouldnot be answered in accord ance with the Democratic theory ot i the powers and duties of the Federal government. It was clear that the Sherman act was intended to stop the coinage of silver and to purchase 4,500,000 ounces or silver per month for the sole purpA of giving a mar ket to those engaged in the silver mining industry. Under It silver was held as a commodity, not be coined into money except to a very limited extent The greater part of Mr Lindsay's speech, which occupied an hour and a half, was devoted to the defense oi Mr Carlisle from the imputation that he had been a party to the conspiracy. of New York bankers to bring about a panic in order to compel the repeal of the Sherman law. Mr Higgins addressed the Senate in favor of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law. In his opinion, tie people had fairly made un their "I mind that the repeal bill ought to be passed, and parsed without delay promptly. At the close of Mr Higgins's speech Mr Allen took the' floor, saying he desired to make a few remarks ou sonie phases of the pending question. He postponed doing so, however, until to-morrow; and the Senate, after a short executive session, at 5:35, ad journed until to-morrow. DIABOLICAL SCHEME OF A PENSION ATTORNEY. f - Pittsburg, Pa.
