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.

on the train, who whin he found out what
was soiug on ahead, ran out on the platform
of the car, aud leauing out firert at the
robbers and in turn was tired on. 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.

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.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Recipes. ,
Beefsteak.?Select choice steaks i
from three-quarters of an inch to one (
inch thick; trim off all superfluous fat ,
and bone, liroil on a wire gridiron, j
over a clear but not too hot fire. Watch ,
it carefully, to avoid scorching. When ,
browned nicely, remove to a platlcr,
season with pepper, salt, and a pretty ,
lihprnl eimr.lv of butter. 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. "When brown add half a teacupful 1
. of flour, and stir constantly until red. I
Then pour in slowly one pint of boiling }
water, stirring steadily till it is ail in. 1
lioil and mash four tine large potatoes, i
and stir into one quart of boiling milk,
taking care that there arc no lumps. 1
Add this to the fried onions, with one
teaspoonful of salt and hall' a teaspoon- i
fill of white pepper. Let all boil, for ?
five minutes, and then serve with toasted I
-- J l -1 ?? if I
or meu uruau. oiuipiu ao tuia nuui, >
is one of t^e best of the vegetable 1
soups. 1
Mixce Pie.?Two quarts of fine minced '
beef, four quarts of chopped apples, one (
pound seeded raisins, one-quarter pound 1
shred citron, two tablespoonfuls of cin- 1
namon, one tablespoonful each of cloves, (
mace and salt, one teaspoonful of pep- 1
per, one nutmeg, one cup of molassen, one
quart sugar, one cup good cider vinegar. '
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. I u e a little pot
that holds from four to six quarts. If
right and cooked good it will drop out
whole with light, creamy crust.
Useful Hints.
kok leather ltrhiox?,
Etc.?Beat well the yolks of two eggs
and the white of one; mix atablespoouful
of gin and a teaspoonful of sugar;
thicken it with ivory black, add it to i
the eggs, and use as common blacking, 1
tbe seats or cushions being left a day or <
two to harden. This is good for dress- <
ins boots and shoes. 1
Timk-Tanlk kok Bm.ing Vegetables.?Potatoes,
half an hour,, unless *
small, when rather le<s. Cabbage and 1
cauliflower, twenty-five minutes to half (
an hour. Carrots and turnips, forty-live (
minutes when young, one hour in winter. (
Beets, one hour in summer, one hour ]
and a half, or even two hours, if large,
in winter. Onions, medium size, one
hour.
To Starch Linen*.?To do up shirts
take two tablespoonfuls of starch and I
one teaspoou even full of powdered ?
borax, and dissolve in one and one-half
cups of cold water. The shirts must not e
be previously starched, and they must be i
perfectly dry. Dip the cuffs, collars,

then roll up tight in a dry cloth, and let 1
them lie two hours. Then rub off and t
iron. They will be like pasteboard and )
huve a nice gloss. i
Rkmoving Stains from Marble.?
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

for his Excellency was the* inspection of
the Gaekwar's state jewels. The extraordinary
wealth of that chief may be
imagined when among his precious

at l'!)n,U00 sterling, and a diamond necklace
at l'2">0.000,while the whole display
is estimated to be worth upwards of four I
millions sterling.

A Foot Note.
"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. If the foot becomes violently
demonstrative, the young man who is
fond of the daughter of the man who
swings it knows ri?ht away that the

"Yes, I have had them since childiocd."
"Why don't you get rid of them?" was

"Easily enough,"'faid Mr. Hart. "Run

"Talk them off?" said Mr. Akehurst,

"v'ortainly; you go up and I'll tell

ire coming." said .Mr. Hart.
-Mr. Akehurst went up into the third

"That wart won't bother you much |

No fee was char<red, and, after thank

It looked like a scar resulting
frum a light burn.

However, I have feen a California

SHAMEFUL ABUSE
Heaped upon n Noted Enellnlimr?n for Him
Open llonemy.
WM. ED. ROBSON, M. D., L. R. C. S. I., M. j
K. Q. C. P. 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

princes, have held Sicily, Parma and
Spain. 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.
