TBAiN lies Kim A Band of Kentucky Mountain Desperadoes Repulsed by Detectives. A FIERCE BATTLE WITH BANDITS. They Stopped a Train Near Sumeroet, Ky., and the Armed Guards on Hoard Shot at Them ?Two Killed and Two Wounded ?One of the Hohber* Wound* a Boy SteaJinjj a Hide. For the first time in iii" history of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. on? of its trains has been held up l>y:i buml of mounted desperadoes and bandits. gathered from the most lawless part of the Kentucky raining region?. Through that part of the State there are few signs of life and civilization outside of the mining camps. Twenty-three miles north of Tennessee State line and sixteen miles south of Somerset, Ky.. southbound passenger No. 3 was flagged to a standstill in a deep cliff of the mountain, between two mininsr camos at Pino and Greenwood, aad the train boarded by six mountaineors. One climbed up beside the engineer in his rab and shoved a revolver iu his face. Three others invaded the baggage car, which they mistook for the express car. They robbed the baggage master. For sometime reports that a band of robbers was encamped in this vicinity hud been reported to officials of the road, and extra precautions were taken. The precaution had been relaxed, but by chance three road detectives wore aboard the train that morning. W. S. Eddy and T. C. Allgood. detectives, were seated in thf smoking car when the train stopped about 3 a. m.. and stepped out en the plattormto learn the cause. They stood on opposite steps of the platform, and all the time a mountaineer stood <in the bank with a shotgun levelled at fcddy's head.' When his companions came <>ut of the baggage ear he fired, but missed the mark. The three robbers wore coming toward the detective without seeing him. and so he got the drop on the first mau. killing him instantly; the second was shot and died in a few hours. TC ldv's first shot was a signal for tht> bandits, who bad started for the express car, to turn toward him. and a fusillade followed. The robbers fired wildly and Eddy succeeded in wouudiug a third, who fled, together with the guard on the bank. Meantime Detective Allgood's attention was at4 tracted from the man on the bank to a sixth coming toward him from the mail car on his side of the train. He lired and thought the man was wounded in the breast. When .he reached the spot he found all traces of the. wounded man gone. The man on the engine became alarmed and started to the assistance o. the scattering band. A tramp whom he mistook for a etrainman he shot in the breast. The tramp is only ninteen years old. He had climbed up on the tender of the online and was put off at Cumberland Falls. He was thought to be a wounded robber, but it was soon found that he was William Parker, of Pittsburg, a boy of good family. Dr. Reddish, his attending physician, received a telegram from the boy's father and had him taken to his hospital at Somerset, Kv. The dead bandits are Jerry Harbin, the leaueroi me Danci, a uesperaie ciiura<.-i?r imui the adjoining couuty of Wuvne, and his son. Tom Harbin. At least two of the escaped bandits were hadly wounded. The bodies of the two killed were carried to Greenwood, the nearest station, and a Coroner's jury impanelled. PRINCE BISMARCK'S GUESTS. The Chancellor.

If it were not for certain leasures which were absolutely necessary no or two seasons of these pilgrimages rould make the grounds appear as if the andals of old had pounced upon them.

If it has ever been your misfortune to be present when the string frame of a piano was fractured, the above statement will require no confirmation. A thunderbolt scarce* j ly makes a greater uproar, au eurth| quake causes little more destruction. The writer happened to be playing on one occasion, with what,. in his conceit, he imagined to be great effect.

Their ^ ?sh-hooks were of bone,- but they - ^ knew how to shoot fish with arrows. Their canoes, hollowed out of logs, were sometimes fifty feet long and oapable of carrying forty men. Their houses were from thirty-fire to fifty fe6t long, covered with bark' v or mats. Tho fire, produced by twirl-f ing a pointed stiok in a hole in a block , <.? of wood, was in tho centre of the cab- v in, around the sides of which was * low platform, covered with mats or skins, on whioh the inmates sat or lay. i Oatside the door was a huge mortar, ilug out of a log, fox grinding corn.: rhe Bummer diess of adults was,A breech-cloth or short apron. To this was added in winter a mantel of deer-1 / lr skin or of turkey-feathers.
