HOLDS UP TRAIN Work of Lono Bandit Who Took Cash and Loft > TO PARTS UNKNOWN Compelled Train Crew to Unload Bullion and Coin for Him and Then Order* Them to Proceed. Home of the Booty Recovered, but the Robber Escapes. A dispatch from Lewlston, Pa., says oue of the most audacious aud startling holdups of a railroad train In the Bast for years occurred in the eastern slope of the Allegheney mountains early Tuesday, when a lone highwayman stopped a Pennsylvania railroad express with a dynamite cartridge and at the point of a revolver comDelled the crew to carry thousands of dollars in coin and bullion fijom an express car to a spot In the wilderness. When the conductor of the train attempted to interfere with the robber's plans he was shot in the hand and the bold bandit succeeded in making good his escape. In the darknesB. however, he mistook a bag containing 10,000 new Llnioln pennies for gold coin and staggered away with it, leaving the real gold bullion to be recovered. When the news of the robberyreached the railroad and express company officials they immediately ordered every available detective from the East and West to the Bcene In an effort to capture the audacious bandit. Bloodhounds were also put on his track, but up to a late hour Tuesday night no trace of the man had been found. The looted train was made up of an engine, three express carB and two sleeping coaches filled with passengers. At about 1:30 a. m. It was running through Lewlstown narrows, when suddenly a dynamite cap exploded and the engine driver brought the train to a standstill. Then he was confronted by a masked man, with a gun pointed at him. "Are there any mall cars on this train?" demanded the highwayman. "No," was the reply of the startled engineer. The engine crew was then forced at the point of the gun to accompany the robber to the first express car. A revolver was pointed at the messenger's head and threatening to blow up the ear. The robber forcod the messenger of the two express cars and engine crew to carry all the gold and bullion stacked in the first car to the side of the track. Conductor L. R. Poffenberger ol Harrlsburg. Pa., who came up while this work was being accomplished, was ordered back by the bandit, who emptied one of his revolvers at him, one of the shots penetrating his hand and the others grazing his body. Despite the appearance of three passengers who had been awakened by the shooting, the robber calmly ordered the crew back on the train and compelled them to steam away, leaving the bullion beside the tj-ack. -It was recovered later by a posse sent on a special train. When the train was leaving he called out: "Good-by. nnd good luck; I hope to see you again." It was reported that In addition to the missing pennies Bevoral thousand dollars In currency was missing. but the express company officials refuse to announce the exact amount of their loss. Agent Hammaker of Lewlstown sent a safe to the scene of the robbery to receve six bags of pennies on which the senls had not been broken, but which had, been out open with a sharp knift to ascer* A- - ? - - vo>u ui? kuuieuvH nnn ananaoned by the robber in dlBgast.

No cause is ascribed for the deed other than the uead woman h.-.d been suffering for some months from dementia. Shu had been carefully watched but look .'.dvantnge of the fact thai her daughter. Miss Bessie Fant, left her aloro for a short time. That the sulcldo was premeditated was shown by tin fact that the windows and doori were carefully closed and a rude pallet prepared on which Mrs. Fant was found dead. She was the wife of a Baptist preacher who died about 10 years ago. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Wm. Cobb of Wilmington, N. C., Mrs. McMillan of Brunswick, N.

Horrors Increase as the Waters Subside?It Is Estimated that Two j Thousand Were Drowned. With eight hundred bodies recov ered and burled In Monterey up to nightfall Monday, two thousand la now the estimate of the city authorities of those who lost their lives throughout the valley of the Santa Catarlna river. The number of homeless, many destitute, Is placed at 15,000 and 20,000. The Santa Catarlna river at Monterey has subsided sufficiently to per- ? mit a passage into the district lying ? to the south and a visit to that sec- i tion by a correspondent of the As- ] soclated Press revealed an appalling condition. People who had been saved from the flood of Saturday morn- ( lng bad been wfltblput food until 1 Monday, when on some cables a small amount of bread and beans ' was gotten across. Once on the South side of the river, evldencees of the terrible de- 1 structlon wrought by the flood were ' to be Been on every hand. Five blocks of the district were as though they had never existed and in the 1 remaining portion of the district 1 bodies were being taken from the 1 ruins and buried by a party of gen- 1 darmes sent across for the purpose. ' At 4 o'clock Monday 400 bodies had been recovered and were burled on the hillside south of San Luislto, thus, with the same number buried Sunday, making in all 800 bodies which have been recovered in Monterey alone. Report 'rom the country, up and down the valley, are meagre and hard to obtain, as all telegraphic communication has been cut off in these directions, but from what has been learned, the number of dead has been placed at 2,000 and the homeless at between 15,000 and 20,000 persons. Most of those people are in destitute circumstances and relief is badly needed. Reports from down the river tate that many bodies have been recovered but ther? ?r? ntlll mnnv that will never be accounted for as the Santa Catarlna bed la filled with quicksands and many of those lost have no doubt disappeared in these -andB. The authorities are doing all in , their power and the federal governj ment has sent $60,000 in money \nd provisions for the relief of tbo . .sufferers. Contributions have been I received from San Antonio and New ( York city firms which have agencies in this city have authorized their . representatives to contribute llber, ally to any fund being raised for relief in this vicinity. | Many hbuses have fallen from the effects of the continuous ralnB which have occurred during the seventy-two hours ending at noon , Sunday. During this time 21 and I seven-eights Inches of rain fell In , Monterey and up the Santa Catarlna valleys. One of the buildings destroyed was the San Francisco church, which , was the oldest building In the city, , It having been built In 1672. The barracks o! the rurales was washed , iway and much military equipment was lost. CATHOLIC ORPHANAGE BURNED. Seven Bodies Have Been Taken So Far From the Wreck. The police report that the bodies of seven children have been taken from the ruins of St. Malichy'B home, a Roman Catholic orphanage at Rockaway Park, L. I., which burned Monday night. Other bodies are believed to be In the ruins. At the time of the fire it was believed that all of the children were rescued through the quick execution of the fire drill. The fire was discovered in the laundry in the north wing at 8 o'clock Monday night. Three hundred and fifty small children were in their cotB on the third and fourth floors of that wing, and some of the older children were attending the evening prayers in the chapel. As the alarm sounded, the older children marched from the chapel to I the hoard walk along the beach and nurses and attendants rushed to the work of carrying the little children from their cots on the floors above. ' The firemen assisted in searching 1 the halls and dormitories and found ' n few children lingering In the halls, i too frightened to leave the build- I ing, but the rescue work had been i conducted with such dispatch and t good order that it was believed uu- 1 til Tuesday that all children were i out of the building. 1 I Two City Blocks Sink. 1 Much damage was done at Scran- f | ton.

J a SAID TO BE TRUE rniy Pigs Art Carried Off by big Lizards. \ REMARKABLE TALE / lent From the Philippine Islands by Capt. Chas. E. Kilbourne, of the l mw*u diau'n toast Artillery, Now on Duty at Corregldor Island, Not Farm From Manila. There comes from the Philippines i thrilling story of the army of lizirds that ate up the pigs of the Coast Artillery Corps guarding Manila 3ay. It 1b given over the signature >f Captain Charles h>. Kllbourne, commanding the Thirty-sixth Company, and Is about the best nature ;hat has ever gone into the records bf the War Department. Captain Kllbourne has just been promoted to be a major In the Philippine constabulary. He was sent to the Philippines with his company from Fort Monroe, Va. The Thirty-fifth Company was sent out as tnc first company of coast artillery to man guns outside of the geographical limits of the United States. It was the advance guard of the big garrison to be stationed at Corregldor Island, which is destined to be the keep of the Philippine Islands and one of the strongest fortifications in the world. In ordor to fill out the "straight" rations allowed by the Government, the company not only planted its own little vegetable garden, left found a chance on Corregldor Island for pig raising on a large scale. They laid in a stock, which included twelve sows. Each produced a litter of pigs, and the company had enough pigs and sows for each soldier of the company to have a whole pig for himself. Nothing gave the company more pleasure after a hard day's work than to go down to the end of the company garden, look over mr block oi pigs ana mink or the fine pork chops, sausages and chltUngs It was to have the coming winter. Their pleasure, however, was shortlived, for it was seon noticed that the pigs were beginning to disappear. The men got together logs and stakes from the adjacent tropical forest and built a stockade sufficient in size and strength to keep in the pigs and to keep out anything which, according to the American standards, |couhi possibly 'carry a pig away. Still uho pigs continued to disappear, and no explanation could be found. Finally volunteers were called for to stand guard over the plg? and a sentry walked a beaten patt aroundt the stockade. Just about daylight one morning the sentry saw a sight which he knew no one would believe who had not seen it with hit own eyes. So he rushed to the barracks and called out the company. When the men got to the stockade they found that a herd of lizarde had come out of the forest and had succeeded in getting into the stockade. Lizards in the Philippines grow be six feet long and stand up like a bencblegged bulldog, and they can run like a deer. The report states that the lizards had the sows at bay in one corner of the stockade, where thev were hltlnc thA s??<? . _ ? n v??v uv/gn uiiu whipping them with their tails, while other lizards, each wth a pig in its mouth, were climbing over the stockade and making off for the forest. Only one pig was left for the company, and this one. "Lizzie," was taken up ^o the barracks and hks been made a pet. The Thirty-flfth Company will come home from the Philippines next Spring, and it hopes that it will get some pleasant Eastern station, where "Lizzie" can spend the rest of her days in peace and happiness.

Secretary Hester Figures Out a Production of Nearly Fourteen Million Bales. Statistics showing that more cotton was handled during the commercial year ending at midnight Tuesday night than ever before and that all records had been broken In the amount of cotton consumed v Southern mills was the feo#* of the annual ***** of Secretary Hester of the New Orleans cotton erchange. The document forms the preliminary report of Secretary Hester's annual review of the commercial year. The count of the commercial crop showed it to be the largest on record. 13.825.467 bales. The previous largest commercial crop was 13,565,585, marketed In 1904-05. Hast season's total was only 11,571,966. The very large total for this year's crop was a surprise to the trade, including both the /bulls and the bears, and If the figures had been Issued while trading was going on it is orobable that they would have had a depressing effect on prices. The most important features In the report next to the size of the crop Itself was the statement on the amount of cotton consumed by Southern mills during the season which closed Tuesday. Here all the records were again broken, the total being 2,559,873 bales. This point was regarded by the bulls qb being even of more importance than the size of the crop itself. It was taken as official confirmation of the many stories of the great expansion of cotton manufacturing In the South The figures compared with 2,193,000 last season and 2,439,000 two reasons ago. In the point of port receipts another record was broken. Net receipts at all ports of the season were put at 10,062,845 bales, against onl> 8,679,842 last year and 9,919,555 two years ago. L4Merpoo! will have the Aral i chance to trade on the report. Tht trade Is about equally divided lr opinion over the effect of the total bulls claiming the bearlshnesB of the i big crop Is more than offset by th< bullishness of the big consumptior In spite of the claim of the beari i that It is a decidedly bearish dofcu ment. > OL'TS THROAT WITH RAZOR. 1 I/.
