Dec. xo. ir \THE MISSOURI ROBBERS. i?{ "We take the following account of this ^ wonderfully bold affair from the interview ^ of the St. Louis Globe reporter wish Alford, conductor of the Iron Mountain j train, robbed on Saturday : "Tell me all about this thing now," said ^ the Globe. "Commence at your start from St Louis and relate the circumstances in . detail." "Well, I run out train No. 7, the Little , et Rock express, and started from Plum St. ^ at ten minutes of ten, Saturday morning. ^ We got. behind, and when we reached ^ Gadshill, one hundred and twenty miles ? _ ' . . no from St. Louis, we were an hour late.? Gadshill is a regular stopping place, tho' there is no station there?only a platform. ^ It is a small place, of no account, and there are only a few houses. There used to be a mill there." "A grist mill ?" ^ "Gristmill ? No. They'll never have a grist mill there in the world. A saw ^ mill. The countrv round there is heavily , " - nil timbered, and it is just the place for a saw- ^ mill or a robbery." co] "Of what was your train composed ?" vaj "Four cars. A mail, baggage and ox- ^ press car, all in one, two coaches and a ^ sleeper. I reckon we had twenty-five pas- ^ sengers iu all, five of them ladies. We ^ were due at Gadshill at six minutes past r m( fbur, but we didn't get there until a quar* teroffive. As we approached the town} the engineer noticed a red flag and whisc 3 tin tied down, I was on the step of the car ^j, and saw the flag, and jumped off before j the car had fully stopped, for I thought ^. lhe track was torn up or there was some difficulty, because a red flag means danger. As I struck the platform, I noticed the 011 train running on the side truck. The Northern switch had been opened, and so a 1 was the Southern, and when we got onto an the side track we wore stuck, for had we j'"' started forward or back, we would have nirun off the track# Just as I jumped off a man grabbed me by the eollar and jamm- l"' ed a pistol into my face. He was a huge six-footer, aud his face was covered with mask made of white cloth, with holes cut for his eyes and mouth. "Here, I'll show tri you," and taking the Globe's handkerchief he put it over his face, tucking the lower he corners iuto his vest. "How many men were there in the party ?" j:, "There woo only five; and (he funniest (!? thing was, they had captured the town j.e first, and pulled every uian woman and n0 child out of their houses. They had built \\ a big bonfire near the platform, and there j?. were the inhabitants crowded around it, j,;, trying to kocp warm. The robbers stood ro] over them on guard, all armed with two j j, or three navy revolvers, and three of theui had double-barrel shot guns. .When the fellow grabbed me I didn't know what to d, make of it." j0 * "Wern't you frightened ?" "Well, I reckon I was somewhat fright* th en?d, but lie put me right at my case?he go comforted mc." go "What did ho say ?" sb "'Stand still, or I'll blow the top of 10 your d d head oflf.' 1 stood still. I saw two of the gang jump on the engine. htl and they made the engineer and fireman an get down. They were brought to where I stood and the robber covered us with P': his pisjol. lie spoko to those wh<> looked out of tho windows; and told them that if a shot was fired he would kill the conduct- S" or. That was mc. One of them stood on the opposite sido of tho train, and as Wil the passengers put their heads out he ,!*1 told them to "pull theui heads in, or you'll lose 'cm." He had a double-barrel shot gun, and I don't think he was foolin' any. Pa Two of them wont into the baggage ear and hauled out the baggageman and the , 011 brukciuan, and these they put under the l'u same guard that had mc. There was an- ' oc< other brakcuian, but he got into a sleeping , P? ear and staid there. They then went in- 'hi to tho mail apartment, and demanded tho ''(l registered pac kages of tho mail agent.? W1 They rumuiuged the letters and picked SP out those that had been registered and then brought tho agent out on to the plat- f"1 form and handed him over to the guard. The express messenger was the next man, "" and as they went into his room he covered one of them with a pistol, but another hu drew a bead on liirn with a gun, and in- , i?rC slructcd liiui to lay that pistol down gent tin ly. Ilodiilsu. Then they demanded liis 1 keys, opened the safe and took out the , tin money packages. Thoy took out one fid packet marked 'watch/ hut when they ?>p- kn cued it and found it to lie a silver wateh they dropped it. The)- jiut the packages If into bags uud then went tlirougli the hag do gage boxes. They opened my satchel and took out my pistol. th "After that exploit they went through th the train. They wcrn't careful with the passengers. They punched them in the ro ribs with pistols, and pointed their shoot- w ;-irons into their faces. Not a man os ped them. Every one was robbed tbo' iy only took one gold watch. Several of 5 passengers had fine watches, but the ieves passed them over. There were pee ladies in the ladies coach, and two the sleeper. Ono of the latter, Mrs. ott, of Pennsylvania, bound from St. Ilia to Hot Springs, with her son, was 3bed of $400, leaving her only ten cents. 1 ic other lady was relieved of three pock- 1 handkerchiefs, but that was all. She d a magnificent gold watch olid heavy ain, but they didn't take it. The one 1 By took belonged to a man who would t give his name." * 1 "Do you know the names of those who re robbed, and the amounts taken from 2111 ?" "They got one thousand doilars in mon- 1 from the express car?Adauis Express. ' ven dollars from Uyrus Terry, one huncd and fifty-four dollars from C. D. Hen- 1 , thirty dollars from Gr. L.

Newall, sleeping car iductor, fifteen dollars in money, a ring lued at thirty dollars and a pin valued one hundred dollars from W. L. Mc.unan, two dplldrs from James Johnson, rter of the Bleeping car, forty dollars mo the train boy, and fifty dollars from ;. They took my watch, but the baggo man said: 'for God's sake, don't take j watch, it was a present to him and e captain ordered them to give it back, tey seemed to be under the control of o captain and gave the watch back to a 99 "Did they get anything from any of the izens of Gudshill ?" ' They took eight hundred dollars and 1 ifle from one man, but I did not hear of j y other. We had a member of the Icgaturc on the train, whoso son vas waitl for him at Gadshill. He was under ard, and 1 dont know whether they were bbed or not." "Hid they touch any baggage ?" "Xo, they didn't stop for that. Mr. j jrcly, the chief engineer was on the kin, and lie expostulated with them, but ey told him to sit down, and shut his ; ad and mind his business.' ?r- I ' That was his business, wasn't it ?" j ''I think so, and so did he. but they j ilu't seem to agree with him. lie asked i i em to restore the property they had fait. but they shoved a pistol under his se, und ordered him to keep quiet.? j hen they took the money from the ex- j ess car. one of them asked the agent for ? receipt book. He gave it up, and the i>hcr wrote in it: 'Itobbed at Gadshill.' s thci#suid: '1 think 1 have had tiie nor of writing in this book before.' The cut has been robbed five times, and ho inks this fellow has had something to with it. 1 shouldn't wonder if he lias d. 1 think they wcrt all old hands at e business. When I thought they had t about through, I asked them if I could . They said yes, and I sent a man to ut the northern switch, and went myself shut the southern. They had bent the .1 so that I had to gel a board and aightcn it. This took us some time, d in the mean while they made off.? ley went in a westerly dirootiou to the I2e where their horses stood, and made 'as fa.it as they possibly could. Before ey went they shook hands with the enncer, and told liiui always to stop when saw a red flag. Ho told them ho al lys did. The engineer's name is Wiiin Wctton, and the fireman's name is implied ; I don't know his first name. "One tiling 1 forgot. Before their dcrture tlu-y wrote out a telegram for the . Louis Dispatch, and gave it to a passgcr to seiuh through. They said that per had misrepresented llmm on one easion, and they wanted to put it in full ssession of all the facts. I telegraphed e dispatch to the railroad office, in St mis, and an operator took it off the res and sent it to the Republican as a ecial." "How long had they been there waiting you "About two hours. It toi>k them forty nutes to go through us, and in that no the\ maic about two thousand throe I ndred dollars, besides the money packas and thecighl hundred dollars which sy took froui the fiadsliill man." "i have heard that Maudevillc had ten [iiisaud dollars on the train, and that it 1 into tlie hands of the robbers; do you iow anything about that "No. I have never heard that before, e might have had it in hi* trunk, hut I n't think lie dill." "Have you any clew to the identity of e robbers ; or any theory as to tvho ey could have bceu ?'' "I think they are tlio same unug that bbed the Hot Springs stage about two ;eks ago, aud the Iowa traiu souio time past. They took dinner at Moark on Tuesday and at Hot Springs on Friday. That is the only trace we have of them now." "When did you come back." "I wont to Piedmont and telegraphed from thero, and then went on to the State line, and came back this afternoon." Alford is a quiet man, with a humorous style of telling what he sees, and told his story to the Globe in a quaint but straightfoward manner. He is a man of nerve, and a man of strong common Bense. He evidently has reason for believing those who attacked him to be the Iowa train robbers. lu his narrative there was no bragging. He seemed to accept the inevitable situation, and make the most of it. And so these bands of thieves seem to make Missouri their home, intend to stay here, get their money here and spenu it here. Perhaps some effort will be made to catch and punish them, and perhaps not. In the mean time the traveling public are to rojoice at the prospect of the onlivenment of otherwise monotonous railroad journeys. What is Carlisiii? Scribners' has a timely und interesting paper on "(Jarlism in Spain." which at this juncture of affairs in that unhappy conntry will commend itself to many readers. The faot is that what are painfully notorious as the Carlist troubles had their birth no longer ago than March 29,1830, when Ferdinand VII. caused to be rcpub lished with additional sanctions, the Praginaticaof his father, Carlos IV. in order to remove every obstacle which might be in the way of the succession to the throne of a then expected child, whatever its sex might be. As the child proved to be a daughter, since well known as Isabella II., her birth became a signal for a civil commotion in the interest of Bon Carlos, Ferdinand's brother, aiming to revive the French Salic law which Philip V. had introduced, and which the Praginatica had nullified. We have not space to give the writer's graphic summary of historical events occurring during Ferdinand's lifetime. nor the lucid and interesting reeord he reproduces, touching the Salic law itself But our readers will be glad to look over the following clear statement of the Carlist question proper, and its present position as an clement of discord in Spain. ' In a little less than a year thereafter (the re-affirmation of the Pragmatic Sanction), September 29, 1S33, Ferdinand died. "Iiis daughter, Isabella II., was proclaimed ()uucn of Spain, under the regency of her mother, Maria Christina, and immediately thereupon commenced the war of revindication, or of the rival claims to the throne of Spain. Such was the origin of the Carlist party. "The Don Carlos of that day styled himself Carlos V., as though he were in reality a king, unjustly deprived of his throne. 11 is son, Carlos VP. Count of Montmolin, perpetuated the claim but died in 1801, without issuo, when his brother, Don Juan dc Bourbon, inherited his brother's rights, but instead of pursuing them signed an act of abdication at Paris, October 3, 1808, in favor af his son, the Duke of Madrid, who now represents the Carlos interests under the name of Carlos VII. "As between the opposing claims of the Duke of Madrid and Alphonso, the Prince of Asturiaa, it seems to us tliut there can be no question. The right of Alphonso rests upon the ancient and undeniable law of the Spanish monarchy. It it be asserted, in opposition to his claim, that Philip V. changed the old Spanish law and substitute a the Salic law, which prevailed in France, with the consent of the Cortes, it may be answered that Carlos IV. and Ferdinand VI. changed the law back again, with the consent of the Cortes, and restored the ancient law of the realm? and their act was surely as valid and effective as that of Philip V. Alphonso is the son of Isabella II. and Francisco d'Assise, Duke of Cadiz, who were married October 10, 1S-1C. The Duke of Cadiz is the son of tho Infant Francisco de Paula, brother of Fcrdinaud VI1. "The i>uk%of Madrid, Carlos VII., > J._ Il_! ,4- 1} i flic i rcicnaer, jtiiiuc ui nuiuuvu ?uu Estc, was born at Venice, March 27.1818, nf Don Juan do Dourbon and Donna Heatrix d'Kie, Archduchess of Austria.

I In the eighteen mouths ending Decent- j bcr 31, 1873. 210 vessels risked the uncertainties of Port Hoyal harbor. One of Life's Dark PicturesLrom the Louisville Commercial. Almost every day for more than a "week wc have published the account of one or more robberies. While none of them have been of much moment, or netted the thieves a large booty, they indicate a deplorable state of affairs. There are doubtless more idle people in the city now than there ever have been. Many of them are in destitute circumstances, have families to support, but arc without the money to buy tho actual necessaries of lifo. Every night tho station houses are crowded with strangers, who wander through tho streets during tho day in search of work, but how they live is a mystery. Tho robberies committed during tho past week all bear evidence that they were not the work of expert!. In every caso the object has been money, or articles that could be easily converted into monoy. No well planned robbery has taken place, and the incroase of crime may be attributed more to idleness than to any other cause. Several days ago a young girl, who, judging from hor appearanco was not over sixteen or soventeen years old, called at a house on West Chestnut street, and asked for employment. The lady of the house who went to the door, replied that she did not want any help. The girl pleaded hard for work, telling a sad story, and created a warm sympathy on the part of the lady, who told her to come back the, next day, and if a place could not be found for her, something would be done to assist her. As she was leaving, the girl turned and asked for money to buy bread, and as the lady was opening her pocket book snatched it*out of her hand and attempted to run away, but was caught and brought back. She laid the pocket book in the lady's hand, and looking up with tears in her big, bright eyes?for they were bright?cried in piteous tones, "Oh, please don't do anything with me; I couldn't help it; I am starving." There was something in the girl's manner, and an earnestness in her voice which seemed to say that she was speaking the truth. The lady quieted her apprehension by telling her that she need have no fears of punishment. The girl talked for some time. It was not much of a story she had to tell, but the picture she drew was dark and gloomy. She said that her father had died some years ago, and that since then her uiother had found it very hard to got along. Both her and her mother had worked out, and her brother, a boy about fourteen years old, had work cd in a factory, but when the panic came, the shop shut up, aud shortly after, the mother and daughter lust their situations. She had striven fur mouths to obtain work, but was unable to do so. She received the same answer wherever she applied. No one had any work for her ? She said that before she went to the house that morning she had gone to mure than a duzen houses, but was turned away with the same answer; some had no employment for her, and others did not believe her story. Frequent disappointments and rebukes had made her desperate and she had determined to get money some way if not by her own labor, to steal it rather than starve. The lady listened to her story, then gave the girl the money, told her to call the next day, and secured tor her a good situation, having ascertained that her story was true. This is only one case. IIow many othors are there in this large city whose lives are told in the sad story? Here we have a young nature earnestly struggling with poverty against crime, at every turn met with opposition, and its brightest hopes crushed, until at length, sunk almost into despair, a savage determination takes possession of it to wrest from tho world, by fair means or foul, that little for which it yearns, and the world too often denies. A Hokriulk Fate.?Of all tho singular and horrible deaths which have occurred oflatc, that which overtook a Chinese fisherman on the coast of California is the most curious. We extract from the San l>iogo World, premising that we eourmr iminnuiec as to that creature call I cd nu Abclon. Fung Chow, a professional fisherman residing near Kosevillo, eall! od among Americans by the nickname of j -Chowder." started out to the corouades in 1 his boat to hunt abaloncs. Of courso, his movements can only bo surmised by what transpired afterword. The supposition is that he moored his boat and began bis <|ucst. Tito corouades arc quite abrupt t in their formation, precipitous, but occasionally broken. ' Chowder" saw an enii ormous abalone ift a clelt of the rooks in a place which was covered with water when the tide was in, and. throwing himself ou his stomach, he dropped over the ledge, to wrench the delicacy from its fastness. Abaiones ere univaivuuu aud if in detaching one of them from the rocks, to which it can fix itself almost im. movably, one happens not to wrench it clear at once, it often fixes icself on the rock, prisoning the spoiling hand, and causing excrutiating agony. This was poer "Chowder's" fate. As his evil star would have it, the abaione was unusually large, and the Chinaman, unable to release himself, must have early roalized that he was doomed. From his position, leoniug over the rocks he could not brace himself to obtain any leverage by which, at the sacrifice of the hand, if need be, he could free himself. We can imagine the agony of the poor wretch as he waited for hours for the rising of the tide, which would freo him from his misery by death. The actual paia endured must nave Deen unspeakable, and no help was nearor than eighteen miles. The poor Chinaman's suffering was horrible, but, happily, the returning tide preveuted his torture from boiog lasting. The inexorable waters shortly did their work. There came a time when the poor Chinaman could struggle no longer, and when the flood sucked from his lungs the breath of life. When Chowder's body was recovered by a brother Chinaman, the dead hand was still helu in the inexorable grasp of the abalone, which had so terribly avenged the invasion of its rocky home. The agony the poor fellow had endured in this novel martyr dom was imprinted on his face." The End op the Matter.?The Nea York Sun points out the perils of the Republican party, and draws a conclusion , It says: "At the last four Presidontia! elections, the Republicans have had it a their own way. The precedents point to its dissolution at the next trial. Moreover, the great principles which it arose to vindicate have been settled, thoroughly settled in its favor. And more fatal to its contiuucd supremacy than all this, it is permeated with corruption, aud tuc name* of many of its chief leaders are odious to honest men. This is not a hopeful view of the Republican situation. There aro twoi-wlcs by which the party may possibly escape destruction. The one is legitimate and the other fortuitous. The former is to purify itself and discard its venal leaders. The latter is to rely once more upon the stupidity and uupopularity of the Democracy." The Green Bay Advocate says: It was many years ago, in 1S43. There were nc: many white men around Green Bay at tha. time. Five was a crowd, aud a dozen a convention. There were several at Kau kaulo (now called lvaukuuua) one day in that year. A blue bird was observed i:. the dim distance to fly aud alight. Co1 Tullor, of Grocn Bay, expressed the belief that he could shoot it. The idea seemou ridiculous, but the Colonel picked up a Kentucky rifle about six feet long and blazed away, and the bird fell. An investigation proved that the bird was shot in the head, and that the distance was abou a mile and a quarter. The Col. was no shot but this triumph was a mere accident ? George W. Law kept a house at that ^oiut, and it was here that this feat was perform* cd. An Indian stead there clad solely iu breech clout, and when the result was made kuowu, he privately.inquired of the Colonel how ho had uimcd. lie answered: "Itigbt between the eyes." The Indian stepped up, took off his sole article of dress and laid it on the counter, ex claiming: "Treat um white man; whisk ey." The subject of incremation; or tho burning of the human body after death, hi some strong advocates in England, as tin extracts published yesterday, from th? Contemporary Review demonstrates* Th practice of burning is of great antiquity It was practiced by tbc ancieut Jews fc the Greeks and the Romans, and if V were to adopt it would conic to us by i hcritance,*sfrom the Germans, the GauN, the Danes and the Calao. And yet Christians, in all ages, have never given their consent to other modes than thatofburi in the earth. Says that quaint old aut1 ority, Sir Thomas Rrowno, in his "Urn Rurial:" "Christians, though they stick cd not to give their bodies to be burned in their lives, detested that mode *fte; death ; affecting rather an deposituro time an absumption, and properly submitting unto the sentence of God, to return n??? unto ashes, but unto dust again, conform* able unto the practices of the patrhreVs the interment of our Saviour, to St. I'cter l'aul and the ancient martyrs." In a re ligious point of view, it makes no difference whether tho body is burned or buried For sanitary reasons, burning ha* the preference. There are difficulties, howerer, in cases of poisoning, for instance, when the body ia needed for analysis I
