A TRAIN IN A TRAP. Halted on a *>>' Masked Men and Robbed. Two miles east of Gordon, on the Texas 1 :chafu-oan two anrl thr^vf* ami rwuic nniiivau, v?vw- v. o'clock Sunday momiug, one of the most daring and successful train robberies that was ever committed in Texas was perpetrated by eight armed and masked men. The following are the facts: As the regular passenger train pulled out from Gordon for the East two masked men hopped on the engine, one on each side. The engineer, John Bosquet, turned to them and asked, "Where are you lellows going:" '"Just going to take a little ride,'1 answered one of them. "You will not ride here.'' said Bosquet "I guess we will." said the man, and in an instant the engineer was covered with two pistols pointed directly at his head. He was ordered to puil ahead, which he did until he rea-hed the coal chute at the trestle bridge. cnmofWnor nvBr niriiln east of Gordon. Here the engineer discovered that obstructions had been placed across the track and was or dered by the two men, who still held their pistols in hand, to j ull up. Ho did so, the train stopping with the engine, baggage and express car on the east side of the trestle, while all the passeng r coaches and the sleepers were directly over it, making it impossible for passengers t > get out of th jcars. As soon as the train stopped six more men, all armed, appeared ami oraered the engineer to take his pick and hammer and break in the door of the express car. He refused at first, but was iuduced to do so by threats of instant d ath in case of continued refusal. He tjok the hammer, went to the door and struck seve: al blows on it, calling on Messeuger Losky to open it or he would bo killed. The robbers stood by. and while the engineer was calling to Lotky to open, fired a number of shots through "the door, which caused the door to be opened, and the robbers entered the car, robbing the safe of all the money they could lind. The amount of the loss could not be ast ertaiue I exactly, but report places it__at sums ranging from $*,000 to $15,000. Messenger JvOskv was, au uie ume | the robbers were trying to get in the ear, endeavoring to secrete the money in his possession, but on account of the continuous firing into bis car thought it best to open the door, as the robbers on the outside were threatening to burn the car. Having finished work in the express car, the robbers went to the mail car and made a demand on the route acent for all money or valuables he had. Thiuking that the robbers would not dare to molest the United States mail, the agent was very cool, and told them tuat they were in the wrong place and that he was a United States mail man. This declaration had no effect on the robbers, who told the otlicial that uuless he complied with their demands he would soon be a dead n an. There were sixty registered mail packages in the car, but while the robbers were engaged in going through the express matter the mail agcut had secured thirty-two of them aud only gave up twenty-eight. Having finished the mail, one of the rob'>ers proposed to the others to go back and rob the passengers. "Never mind the passengers,' said one who appeared to be the leader. "We are doing well enough here, and then, by this time, they have hid all their stair." The value of the registered packages taken from the mail cannot be estimated. Having finished their work, the robbers left the train an I disappeared and the train came on East. rru? Ql.aiMfT /cowl tn Vio frnrn Dnllnsl ?

He was induted to cease tiring by th'.- fear that he would strike the engiueer or the fireiran, who were standing among the robbers at the express-car do >r. There were also three colored soldiers on the train and they were stationed at the door of the cars ami would have made a light bad the robbers attsniDted to enter the passenger car. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC. The custom of leaving off tall bonnets at theatres is growing. Lotta, who u:?on the stage looks about twenty years old, was lorty the other day. Rosina Yokes, the actress, is a second , cousin to Lord Salisbury, and is very proud of the connection. Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" has leen produced iu line style at Daly's Theatre. New York. A New York paper says that General Sherman "is growing fonder of the drama and the opera everyday." Fralleix Axnie Kirbei., the new operatic star, is anmun ed a marvel. She is said to be a second Jenny Lind. The theatre-going population of London is estimated at Mf >,000, while 20,000 foreigners visit the city every day to be amused. Mr. Bronsox Howard seems to have made a failure at last. His "Met by ' Chance" was not received with much cordiality in New York. The only female trombone player in this country is Miss Annie Siegl, who received her musical education in the Vienna Conservatory of Music. AT IDS cornmariu 01 iub vzur a grtai iudatre is to be constructed at St. Petersbnrg, which will be devoted entirely to Russian operas and I he ballet. In Montana the high hat nuisance at theatres promises to be short-lived. The crowd yells " iShoot the hat:" and the show cannot "go on until it is taken off. Two Lon.ion professional beauties and sisters?Mrs. Mackintosh and Miss Annette Steer?are to create a sedation by appearing on the stage iu "Robinson Crusoe," a comic opera. Miss Nettie Carpenter, the American girl violinist, has been playing with great success at concerts in Germany. At the concert which she recently gave in Berlin, the Crown Prince and Princess were present and warmly applauded her. Frank James, the ex-bandit, saw Wilson Barrett in "Hamlet"' in St. Louis recently, and i emarked to a friend in a tone that was audible all over the theatre that the actor was a ' chump," and that he could go right down on the stage and give him points. The First Presbyterian Church, of New York city, which has existed for more than 100 years without any musical instrument In it than a precentor's tuning fork, has nt last Yielded to the demands of its youngar members anil will purchase a $10,000 organ. Verdi has invented some new instruments for his new opera, " Othello." Among them are Tiolins with live strings, a gigantic flute which is pitched two octaves below those in present use, and an entirely new instrument made of copper, wood and an ass's skin, which is to proan when Othello smothers Desdemon&. Seats for the first performance, in Milan, January .SO, sold at fabulous price*. orctu*t ra stalls at $10o to $150, while tUa rtmI boxes fetched at auction $000. The tunnel under the river Severn, that empties into the Bristol Channel, has been opened for passenger tra'lic. It is lour and a half miles long, tliei e beinx only four longer tunuels in the world, and its ventilation is aid to be perfect. About 17,000 pounds of silk cocoons, averaging $1 }>er pound, have !>een raise I in Utah during the last yea:1. The iudnstry is Still in its infincy, but the outlook is very flattering.

Oakey Hah contributed an article to a recent number of the Pall Mall Gazette on London tramways, in which he gave a picture of the alleged clumsy tram-car first introduced in the great metropolis a quarter of a century ago. In this he did injustice to George Francis Train, the man who introduced street-railways in Europe. The first atreet-car run on a London tramway was built in 1859 for Mr. Train by Stevenson in New York. It cost $1,500, and was constructed and equipped in the style of those now seen on Broadway. The big double-decked cars in London are imitations of omnibuses, and are a purely British invention. INTER-STATE COMMERCE, Hmr r.nvcrnment Supervision AVill tie Exercised Over Itailroails. After pasting the Senate by a large ma jority, the Intor-State Commerce bill has gone through tha House by the decisive vote of 211? j-easto 41 nays. The following is asynopsis of the bill, as it passed Congress. The provisions of the bill are applie 1 to any common carrier of passengers and freight, whether the transportation is entirely by rail or partly by rail and partly by water, when a common control, management or arrangement is exercised or ex teuded through more than one State or Territory, or covers such relations between the United States and any foreign country. Ferries and bridges used or operated by any railroad are embraced in the provisions of the bill. All charges for the transportation of freight and passengers shall be reasonable aud just, and anything opposed to this is prohibited and declared unlawful. It is provided that the provisions of the act shall not apply to transactions wholly carried on within one State and not affecting the interchange of traffic between one State and another, or between ons State and a foreign country. The second section forbids any common corner l/U unur^c, uouiauu v?* * wv.. ? rectly or indirectly, prom any person or persons. a greater or less compensation for any services connected with freight or passenger transportation than from others for like and contemporaneous services in the transportation of a like kind of trnflic, under substantially similar circumstances and conditions. It is made unlawful by the third sei-tion to make or give any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular person, company, firm, corporation or locality, or to any particular description of traffic. According to their respective powers, all corporations subject to the provisions of the act are required to afford all reasonable, proper and equal facilities for the interchange ot traffic bet ween t heir respective lines.and discrimination in rates and charges against connecting lines is forbidden. Sections Nos. 4 and 5, which furnish the basis for the controversy that is most interesting to railroad men, are given in full as follows. 6ec. 4. That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of 4.U! 4. ~l nrrontnr rnill. ! iuis uui? iu cuargcvi iouci*vauj w... pensation in the aggregate for the transportation of passengers or of like kind of property, under substantially similar circumstances and conditions, for a shorter than for a longer distance over the same line, in the same direction, the shorter being included within the longer distance; but this shall not be construed as authorizing any common carrier witiiu the terms of this act to charge and receive as great compensation for a shorter as for a longer distance. Provided, however, That upon application to the commission appointed under the provisions 9f this act such common carrier may, in special cases al ter investigation by the commission, be authorized to charge "less for longer than lor shorter distances for the transportation of pa-sengers or property; and the commission may from time to time prescribe the extent to which such designated common carrier may be relieved from the operation of this section of this act. Sec. 5. That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the provisions of this a t to enter into any -contract, agreement, or combination with any other common carrier or carriers for the pooling of freights of different and competing railroads. or to divide between them the aggregate or net proceeds of the earnings of such railroads, or any poition thereof; and in any case of an agreement for the pooling of freights, as aforesaid, each day of its continuan e shall be deemed a separate offence. The sixth section requires that after ninety days from the passage of the a t the railroads shall print and publish, for the inspection of everybody, schedules of rates and | charges, and the commissioners created by th? till have authority, whenever they deem it necessary and proper, to require ! publication of tha rates made to other places beyond the lines of the several railroads. A public notice must i be made ten days before any advance in "rates, lares and charges," but no su-h notice is reouired for a reduction, thouuh the I detailed publication of such a change must be coincident with any reduction. The seventh section prohibits any breakage of bulk shipments or any other device to evade the application of the law to traffic covered by the preceding provisions. A line cf and costs are imposed upon the company, or any of its agents, which is proved to have violated this law, and the penalty appl es to evvry offense. The sections "of the bill from the eleventh 6ection on provide for tl e legal protection of the commissioners and the orderly exe ution of the law. Five commissioners are created, the first live to be appointed by the President, subject to the confirmation by the Senate, to serve two, three, four five and six years, respectively, from January 1, 1887; but each successor to serve for six years. The commissioners must not be men in any way interested pecuniarily in the stocks or bonds of the corporations affected by the act, or in their employ. The commissioners have authority to call for books, papers, etc., and to summon witnesses. and they are empowered to appeal to the courts for assistance, in case of disobedience to their summons. The salary of each commissioner is fixed at $T,.r>00, and the commission is allowed to aopoint a Secretary at a salary of $3,500; the other expenses of the Commission being charged to the Interior Department, which has a general supervision over it. RAIN BRINGS RELIEF. The Lone and Disastrous Drought in Texas Broken. A Fort Worth (Texas) dispatch states that a general rain fell for four hours in that part of the State, and the loop drought?extending from September last?is endod. Reports have been received from Parker. Wise, Jack. Clay, Stephens, Montague, Wichita, Palo Pinto, and Hood counties, and all say that the rain has wet the dry soil from two to four inches. Farmers are preparing to plough at once, and if the aid asked for in the way of seed is extended at once it can be planted in time. More rain is probable, and a feeling of rejoicing is general. Many thousands of people have been seriously affected by this long-continued drought, and much suffering has resulted. THE MARKETS.

No definite rule can be given as to the time of cook- ] ing steak, individual lattes differ so widely in regard to it. some only liking | it when well done, others so rare that the blood runs out of it. I Potato salad.?Slice thinly eight or ten good-sized Irish potatoes (boiled and t cold), chop finely one good-sized apple, < one and a half small onions, rinse and { chop the liaves of a large handful of green parsley. Spread a layer of the i potato in a chopi ing tray, sprinkle liberally with salt, then half the pars- ] ley, apple and onions, then the rest of the i potato, then more salt and the other half of the parsley, apple and onion; t your half a teacup of sweet oil or melted ? butter o\erthe whole, with a small cup ? of vinegar. Mix the whole carefully so as not to break the potatoes. Onjox Soup.?Take three large onions, 1 slrce them very thin, and then fry to a i bright i rown in a large spoonful of but- i ter.

' Two cups stewed cranberries is an improvement. The meat should be boiled ' the day before it is chopped so as to be 1 thoroughly cold. Put the meat and apples * in a crock or pail, set it in a kettle of ? boiling water, add the water in which ' the meat was boiled; also the grease that 1 has risen on top use instead of butter. ( Put the vinsgar in a dish, add one cup ( of water, one cup of 2s ew Orleans molasses, and one < up of raisins. Set it on ' the stove and let it boil for half an hour, ! or until the raisins are tender, add all the 1 ingredients together, except the stewed * raisins, stirring occasionally. Let it < ook for three or four hours slowly. Scatter | the raisins on the top of the ^ies before putting tne xcp crust on. ui*u a?u u spoonful or two of rich milk or cream. Apple Pot Pie.?Pare and core any kind of quick cooking tart apples. It will require about a quart of prepared apples for a family of three or four persons; make a light crust, using for that quantity one cup of sour cream, a teaspoonful of salt and one of soda, and two tablespoonfuls of shortening with good beef or pork drips. If the milkis sweet then flank the soda with two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar; make a stitl paste like biscuit and roll out; take a small, smooth iron pot, one that will not blacken apples when stewed therein, and grease well on the bottom with butter, then put in the cored apples; cut strips of the crust and place around the sides ; add in a teacup of cold water, roll out the top cover, make a deep gash in the c enter and cross it in I I the opposite; have it round and fit it on i neatly, wetting the edges of the crust; 1 then placi it over the fire until it boils 1 up briskly. If you have a good fire the j oven will be ready when it b gins to ' boil over the top crust. Here it will i cook slowly and be ready in about half an hour for the table.

To remove stains from mnrble, first take of soda two ) arts, powdered pumice stone one part and powdered chalk one i part. Rub these ingredients well togeth- ' er in a mortar, sift through a fine sieve, ( and mix the powder obtained into a paste with water; rub them all over the ] marble, and wash with soap and water. 1 Or mix strong s >ap lees with quicklime ( to the consistency of thin cream; spread the mixture over the marble, and after J the lapse of twenty-four hours wash with soap and water. This will remove stain- f and restore the color. f An Indian Palace. | The (iaekwar's new palace at Baroda ] is one of the finest modern works of the > kind in India. When the Yicerov \ isi ted Barola. one of the sights provided for his Excellency was the* inspection of the Gaekwar's state jewels.

"Foot-reading is the latest notion, the character being judged by the foot." The -'notion" is not very "late." For years the characters of fathers of marriageable daughters have been judged by the foot.

However, I have feen a California pinil. a wood-dove, and a hummingbird fly downward; but in slow-flyers, with large wings and heavy bodies, the ivings are used more or less as parachutes n going down: in other words, the birds spread their wings, and rely jpon gravity, 'lhis I have noticed in :hc sand-hill c ranes in their migrations llong the Sierra Mad res.

Then they will stop and bejin the spiral upward movement again mtil a hiirh elevation is reached, when, j iwav they go ng.iin si ding downhill in i the air, tow.ird their winter home.

I., lato of the Royal Navy, of England, has got into professional trouble for writing the following open letter to the J ifnr nf tYia T/\rirlnn JTWmi*7?/ r'nr/nr' "I believe it to be the duty of every physi- 1 eian to make known any means or remedy < whereby sickness can be prevented, and it is | for this purpose I write to give my expe- , rience both here and abroad. I ask the pub- ] lication of the statement that people may be 1 warned before it is too late, to say to them ] that there is at hand a moans by which they . may be restored to perfect health. It is well : known to the medical world, and indeed, to the laity, that a certain disease is making a ' terrible havoc: that next to consumption It 1 is the most fatal, and that wheu fully devel- j oped there is nothing to be done for the su.'- l ferer." " . "Physicians and scientists have long been trying to throw light upon the cause, and if < possible, find in nature a medicine for this i fatal malady. They have showD, absolutely, ] that the blood-purifying organs of vital im- { portance are the kidneys, and that when i they once fail, the poison which they should J take out of the blood is carried by the blood into every part of the body, developing disease." "In my hospital practice in England, In- < dia and South America, aud also while a s surgeon in the Royal Navy of Great Britain, 1 I gave a great deal of attention to the study ! of diseases of the kidneys and urinary organs, and found that not only was the cure of 1 chronic Bright's Disease hopeless, but that kidney disease was remarkably prevalent, much more so than generally known,and was 1 the cause of the majority of cases of sickness, and further, that the medical profession has , no remedy which exerts any absolute control j over these organs in disease." "Some timeago when 1 had acase which re- 1 sisted all regular treatment,?which is very 1 limited,?complicated with the passing of J stones from the kidneys, much against my j will I permitted my patient to use \Y arners , safe cure, of which I had heard marvelous re- , suits. In his case the result was simply mar- < velous, as the attack was a severe one, and development very grave, for an analysis , showed per cent of albimen and granular tube casta " "The action of the medicine was singular I and incomprehensible to me. I had never ' anvfViinrr lilro it.. Thft nfltlpflfc TAnnVGrftd * promptly, and is to-day a well and healthy ' man. This stimulated my inquiry into the merits of the remedy, ana after analysis I i found it to be of purely vegetable character, ' harmless to take under all circumstances." ' "Casting aside all professional prejudice, I | gave it a thorough trial, as I was anxious i that my patients should be restored to health, no matter by what medicine. I prescribed ' it in a great variety of cases, Acute, Chronic, j Bright's Disease, Congestion of the Kidneys, J Catarrh of the Bladder, and in every in- , stance did it speedily effect a cure." ] "For this reason 1 deem it my duty to give 1 to the world this statement regarding the value of Warner's safe cure. I make this , statement on facts I am prepared to produce J and substantiate. I appeal to physicians of ] large practice who know how common and ' deceptive diseases of the kidneys are, to lay aside professional prejudice, give their \ patients Warner's safe cure, restore them to : perfect health, earn their gratitude, and thus ] fce true physicians." ] "I am satisfied that more than one-half of i the deaths which occur in England are caused, primarily, by impaired action of the ( kidneys, and the consequent retention in the . Diooa 01 tne poisonous uncuuu kiuucj miu. Warner's safe cure causes the kidneys to expel this poison, checks the escape of albumen, relieves the inflammation and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having had more than seventeen years' experieni e in my profession, I conscientiously and emphatica'ly state that I have be3n able to give more relief and effect more aires by by the use of Warner's safe cur^ than by all the other medicines ascertainable to the profession, the majority of which, I am sorry to say, are very uncertain in their action." "Isn't that a straightforward, manly letter?" "Indeed it is." "Well, but do you know the author has been dreadfully persecuted for writing it?" "How so? What has he done to merit it?" "Done? He has spoken the truth 'out of school,' and his fellow physicians, who want the public to think they have a monopoly in curing diseases, are terribly angry with him for admitting professional inability to reach certain disorders. "That letter created a wonderful sensation among the titled classes and the public. This jarred tho doctors terribly. The College of Surgeons and Queen's College, from which institution be was graduated, asked for an explanation of his uuprofessional conduct, and notified him that unless he made a retraction they would discipline him. "The doctor replied that he allowed his patients to make use of Warner's safe cure only after all the regular methods had failed, and when he was satisfied that there was no possible hope for them. Upou their recovery, after having used Warner's safe cure, he was so much surprised that lie wrote the above letter to the Family Doctor. He regretted that the faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but he could not conscientiously retra t the facts as written to the Family Doctor. "The faculties of both colleges replied that unless be retracted they should cut him off, woich would naturally debar him from again practicing his profession, aud also prevent his securing another appointment in the Royal Navy!" The illustrious doctor's dilemma is certainly au unpleasant one, emphasizing, as it does, both his own honesty and the contemptible prejudice and bigotry of English medical niHii. The masses, however, having no sym 1 tathy with their nonsense, keep on using the remedy he so highly recommends and get well, while the rich and able depend upon the prejudiced doctors and die. The World's Rulers. A European paper figures that ihe Christiau aud monarchical world counts among its combined reigning families 403 I princes. If the femaie contingent was! taken into account, this figure would almost be doubled. The most flourishing dynasty is that of Ilolstein, which holds the throne of Russia, Denmark, Greece and Oldenburg, and numbers fifty-three prin es, iucluding twenty-five grand dukes, two kings and an emperor. Next to it is the House of Stettin, uniting the loyal crowns of Saxony, (ireat Britain, j Portugal and Belgium, besides the ducal: and grand ducal scepters of Weimar, Al- j tenburg, Coburg Gotha and Meiningen. i rpv%?

More numerous than the Ilohmzoileins, the 1 losses and the house of Savoy are the imperial Hapsburg Lorraine, with their thirty three archdukes, and the old race of Wittelsba h, numbering twenty-three princes of or in Bavaria, a distinction to which great importance is attached. The once reigning families mediatized si ce the c-naress in Vienna in 181 '? are represented by 121 princes, and these have retained but a small portion of their privileges. The Hapsburgs cud the Wittelsbachs are closoly allied, not merely because they both belong to the Teutonic race and flourish on the same German soil, but because for many years and generations th v have constantly intcr-married.
