A Young Man and a Revolver Do the Work. ltolililnic mi Kxpm* Car Sclrndflcally—Xnlioclj Would Have Thought It—A Well IMiiuiieil Hob- liorj—A Diuigcrous and Dciqirrnto (lump. St. Louis, October 28.—-The Adams ex press car attached to passenger train No. 3, on the St. Louis and San Francisco rail road, which left this city at 8:25 last night, Was robbed of over £50,000 in cash between here and Pacific, Mo. It appears that before the train left this city a man, who gave the name of Cum mings, presented to Messenger Forthering- ham a cleverly forged letter bearing a per fect fac-simile of the signature of Barret*-, the local agent of the express company at St. Louis. The letter stated that Barrett had decided to put an extra man on the r lute, that the bearer was he; to teach him the details of the business. The stranger was allowed to enter the car, and took great interest in all of the movements of the messenger, apparently desiring to learn quickly the “ins and outs” of the duties which the letter stated he was expected to perform. Fortheringham’s suspicions were not at all aroused and the stranger impi eased him as a quiet and prepossess ing companion. The two men busied themselves with the accounts, etc., and all went well until a point between St. Louis and Pacllc, Mo., was reached. In the meantime the new assistant was informed that there was nothing more that lie could do at that time and he seated himself in a chair, waiting until some new duties should be assigned to him to perform. Fortheringham was still busily engaged over his accounts with his back turned to Cummings. In the course of time it became necessary for him to go to the safe, and turning to the door, he saw the stranger calmly sit ting in his chair with a cocked revolver levelled at his (Fortheringham’s) head. Cummings cautiously approached the dumbfuu ded messenger and told him if he remained quiet, and made no outcry or raised no alarm, his life would uot bo en dangered, but that If he acted otherwise he could not answer for the consequences. Fortheringham had nothing to do but to submit, and, according to his statement, the robber bound him hand and loot, pressed a gag into his moth, tied him to the safe, so that he could not move, and proceeded with hi3 work. Tne safe had been left open, and it took but a few minutes for the robber to secure the bank notes and valuables in the shape of jewelry, etc. Hecutopen the bags containing the silver coin, but he evidently concluded that these were too heavy for him to carry and he did not disturb the contents. Of the gold, how ever, he took a goodly amount, mid then proceeded to make good his escape. The road at this point runs directly along the side oi a high bluff, which, in places, overhangs the tracks, making the danger of wrecks from a collision with boulders, which occasionally full from above on the tracks, very great. The trains, therefore, slack up at this point and run slowly until the dangerous place is passed. This the engineer of train No. 3 did as usual, and this offered the rob ber an excellent chance of escape. He first locked all but one door, stepped out on the platform, locked the door from the outside and jumped off. The messenger in the meantime could do nothing to release himself, not being able even to call for help. Near Miuieke a boulder had fallen upon the tracks and the traiued was delayed an hour before it could be moved. The conductor tried the door of the express car, and found it locked, and supposing the messenger to be busy, did not ask for admittance. At St. Clair lie again tried the door, and ngain found it locked. He listened for a minute and'heard the messenger struggling to free himself and malting all the noise possible by kick ing with his feet against the side of the car. The conductor suspected something I wrong and burst tho door open, finding I Fortheringham as above described. He ; was quickly released and told his expe-j rience. The robber had got a start of fully two hours, and it was useless to run back to try and find him. The train then pro- ] ceed’ed on its way, and arrived in this j city this morning at 7 o’clock on ; its return trip. Fortheringham says ; the robber was about 21 years i old, six feet tall, weighed about 200 pounds i . and dressed in dark clothes with a dark j overcoat. He thinks the robber bad ae- ] complices, as he seemed to be talking with some one on the front platform of the ! car. Fortheringham, the messenger, is I about 21 yehrs old and lives in St. Genie- j vive, Mo. He has been in the employ of j the Adams Express Company forabout, four years. Supt. Damsel, of the express com- pany,saysFortheringham’s record has been j one of the best. When asked where Fortheringham was, lw replied that he | had gone up town with Barrett, a route agent and another man. From the man- | ner in which he made the statement it is | presumed that the other man was an of ficer of the - law, though Damsel would I make no statement confirmatory or con tradictory of this theory. Damsel said he could not state the exact amount stolen | but it was something under £50,000. ids friends gave him because lie defied j Daniel Manning’s lightning.

Chicago, October 23.—Tiie coroner’s jury to-day completed the inquest upon the Coinxn'vdonal An Entertaining skefrli Orators Who art* Try! It oiul. Washington, October 26.—The Capital has the following entertaining sketch of three prominent New York politicians and orators: The three orators of the New York delegation in the democratic con vention of 1884 are all trying to come to congress this year from New York city districts. They are Bourke Cochran and Thomas F. Grady, who spoke for John Kelly, and Assistant District Attorney Fellows, who spoke for Daniel Manning. They have been for several years the crack speakers of the New York city democracy. Cochran, who is the most likely to come to congress, hav ing received a regular nomination arid having married a “bar’l” within the last year, is the very picture of the old-fash ed Italian villain in the melodrama of twenty-five years ago. He is of Irish de scent, but he must have some Italian blood in his veins, for he has the planner of a second-rate Italian to perfection. Ho has dark hair, dark mustache and imperial, and shining black eyes. His address is of that oily,insinuating sort which captivates the toughs of city politics. His oratory is , like his manner—smooth, flowing, unctious | and meretricious. Like his manner, it sug gests thestilietto behind the smile. Grady, ; who is going to run as an independent | against ?‘*Tim” Campbell, is i typical Irish politician—short, stout, red cheeked, with bristly hair and mustache, and the air of a prize-fighter. He is a man of bet ter character than Cochran, of some in dependence, and of very considerable ability. He has the Irish fluency and the Irish flattery, and having also the Irish temper, is apt to sput.er when he gets ex cited. His proudest ^ tie is “Ajax,” which . the corpse of Terence Begley.

Attarkou ihc Latter Xenr Fort Custer—Kovomu' for n Murder. CcsTErt. Mon., October 26.—An army officer just nr. ived from Fort Ouster says that a parly of Crow Indians rode hurried ly into the fort Friday afternoon and re ported that they had been attacked by a war party of the Sioux near their camp, about two miles up the Little Horn river, and that in tho melee which followed ton of their number had been killed. Col. Dud ley, post commandant, immediately or dered the garrison under arms, and in a short time arrived at the scene of, action with five troops of tho first cav alry. They found two Crow Indians dead and three more wounded, while the Sioux had left two of their war riors dead on the field, having been com pelled to abandon them, evidently owing to the rapid advance of the cavalry. De tachments were at once sent out and thorough search was made of the hills and ravines in the vicinity, but the Sion v had made good their esc pc and no trace of them could be found. They are evi dent!,.' tho advance of the wav party of the Sioux which recently left the Poplar River agon *yto raid tiie Crows. General Heath, the fpcclal agent at Poplar river, notified the authorities of their departure, but was unable to prevent >t, as there are only two companies of troops stationed near the agency. All the Indians left secretly and were far away when the fact became known. The Sioux are said to be greatly excited over the raid upon their herds and the murder of the Assiniboin squaw by the Crows near Poplar river and are evidently bent on revenge. Five Crow Indians, who were captured by Major Carroll’s com mand near the Yellowstone river a week ago, who are believed to be engaged in this affair; are now in the guard house at Fort Custer, but it is doubtful if anything of a criminal nature can be found against them.” KICKING WOMEN TO DEATH.

Chicago, 111., October 26.—A horrible I crime was perpetrated by a negro on t wo | defenceless women on an unfrequent ed road near Washington park this even ing, and it is believed they will not recover. Dora Dolan and Bridget Moran, the vic tims, live in Englewood. They are sisters j and are married. This afternoon tliev went to visit their brother-in-law. Patrick | Clancy, an attache of the Hyde Park sta tion. Mrs. Dolan carried a baby in her arms, while her sister carried a hand satchel containing $40. When they were within half a mile of the station the negro stopped from behind a tree and walked ahead of them. On passing he bade them good evening, but they paid no attention to him. A TERRIBLE ASSAULT. Thus rebuffed the fellow instantly turned and gave Mrs. Dora Dolan a violent kick in the stomach, knocking her to the ground. The babe fell heavily and was severely injured. Drawing a knife the brute now struck at Bridget Moran and cut her about, the forehead. A blow from his fist knocked her to the earth. lie then kicked her in a brutal manner, and snatching the handsatchel ran toward Englewood. ■ DISCOVERY OF THE CRIME. The women remained in the roadway about half an hour and were discovered by a pedestrian. Their blood-stained faces and garments told him that a direful crime had been committed. Rushing to tin- sta tion he notified the police of his disco very. A patrol wagon with a number of officers was sent to tlie scene, and the women and babe were placed on stretchers and re moved to tho station. Physicians were at once called. Under their rflorts Bridget regained consciousness and gave a half lucid account of the occurrence. Mrs. Dolan was unconscious at a late hour to night. She is badly injured internally.

Washington, October 26.—Although the prominent officials in the navy depart ment have made light of the recent dis closures of smuggling by naval officers os brought to light by the seizures on the Saratoga, the rank and file in the service know that these apologies by certain offi cers of high rank are made merely to mis lead the secretary of the navy and the pub lic and prevent impldto.sanl disclosures. Seamen and marines vVno have been on European voyages and think they can talk without fear of detection, view the case very differently. An ex-corporal of the marine corps, who resigned in 1882, and who is now in business in this city, gave a reporter the following chapter on smug gling in the navy as it came under his own observation: “In 1880 I served on board the United States ship Saratoga,” he said, “in a subor dinate capacity while the vessel made a European cruise for the purpose of in structing Admiral Luce’s babies in the art of seamanship. The opinion generally ex pressed. however, by the crew upon our arrival in the Mediterranean was that the Saratoga was sent across to bring home a cargo of goods belonging to high officials in \Va. oington. At the naval pay station at Yillal'rauca we took on board quite a cargo of carpets, rugs, etc., purchased by persons on the station and sent to Villn- iVuncn lor storage,and which wore marked, ‘See. Thompson.’ Gloves, silks, laces, etc., were purchased in large quantities, packed in sealed metal boxes and waterproof paper. In fact purchases were made so extensively that wo began to think we represented some mercantile house rather than the United States.” “Didn’t these proceedings cause com ment among tlie crew?” was asked. “Sailors and marines,”,he replied, “are not in the habit of expressing their opin ions when ou board ship. Whatever we thought we kept to ourselves. Upon tho return trip wo stopped at Funchal, where the ship’s launch was lowered for the pur pose of assisting in taking on board our List cargo, viz., wine. The exact amount of wine stowed away here i am unable to state, but I have no hesitation in saying that it exceeded the quantity usually pur chased by importers at one time. Fay mas ter’sstores were broken outof the hold and piled around deck to make room tor tho cargo. The brig was given up for the time being and converted into a wine store room. In fact, e\cry available place was used until the heith deck became un comfortably crowded. Upon arriving in the United States instead of putting into an important port we anchored in Hamp ton roads and were not troubled b> a visic from*the collector of •. ustoms. The first transfer of cargo made v/us to a lighthouse tender which came into tho roads, and to it were transferred tho cask i of wine which were marked ‘Babcock.’ “A few day.-; later the Tallapoosa cam-’ down from Washington to Hampton Roads and made it convenient to come alongside the Saratoga after dark. TLo crew was at once put to work rigging whips and tackle to aid in taking the curg > out of the hold. An estimate of the amount of goods, consisting of wines, car pets, laces, silk goods, etc., transferred to the Tallapoosa may be formed from the fact, that the time occupied in unloading the vessel consumed about five hours. In i justice to the officers attached to tlie Sara- I toga it is proper to state that their portion of the cargo was reasonable, one or two casks of wine each to ship to friends in i distant parts of Dio country, aoouple < f i dozen of pairs of glove-; and several bolts of I silk. The bulk or the cargo, however, was j marked as consigned to tu b humble citi zens as Secretary riinmpr.on, General Slier- | man, Commodore English and others cf the same standing. Of course, an im- ! proper use might have been made of their names by the real smugglers to daunt pry ing customs officials. Next year, wnik I still on the Saratoga, 1 went to Halifax. I There we purchased the same amount of ! bottled goods and brought back an equally ! valuable cargo.” “This statement regarding the sinug- I gliug propensities of our prominent naval j officers can be vouched for and is uot the 1 spiteful outpourings of‘a di igrunUed sail - i or,’ ” said a navy department official to- | dfty.
