bound passenger train, which passed here
at three p. m. to-day, it was stopped and
robbed by thirteen masked men at Big
Springs, Nebraska, 160 miles east of this
city to-night. The robbers first took
possession of the station at the springs,
destroyed the telegraph instruments and
compelled the agent to hang out a red
light. When the train stopped, they
boarded it and plaoed the train men and
passengers under guard. The express car
was broken open and the safe
robbed of about $75,000. The passen
gers were also robbed, but their losses
are not yet known. In order to delay the
train in reaobing the next station, where
alarm might be given, the fire in the
locomotive was dampened with water.
The freight train overtaking the passen
ger train, its engine was sent to Agal-
lalla, whence the report of the robbery
oame to be believed. The robbers have
gone northward. The railroad company

LATER DETAILS.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Cheyenne, W. T., September 19.—Big
Springs atation, where the robbery of the
expreBR train was committed last night, ia
a water station, 102 miles east of thiB
plaoe. There are only two houses besides
tho station. The robbers came to the
atation in the evening and took possession
of everything, tore the telegraph instru
ments out and threw them away. A red
lighf was then hung out to atop the train,
which reaohed there at eleven o'clock.
On the conductor's stepping off to see
what was wanted, he was confronted by
men armed with revolvers, who ordered
him to throw up his hands. The engineer
and fireman were seoured, and a guard
placed at the end ooaoh. The station
agont was compelled to knook on the
express door, and on its being opened for
him, the robberB rushed in and overpow
ered Messenger Miller, aDd took
possession of the oar. They seoared
$65,000 in coin and about $500 in curren
cy from the Express oar. The
through safe whieh is stationary, and hiB
a combination lock, they left untouohed.
It contained a large sum. The passengers
in the coaches were then visited and re
lieved of their cash and valuables. It ia
stated $1,300 in oash and four gold
watehes were taken from the passengers.
The arrival of a freight train evidently
interfered with their plans, for after pot
ting out the fire in the locomotive of the
Express, they mounted and rode away
without disturbing the occupants of the
sleeping oar. To-day the Union Paoific
Iiailroad and Express Companies offered
a reward of $10,000 for the arrest of the
thieves and reoovery of the money.

GENERAL GIBBON FIGHTS.
KILLED AND WOUNDED—HOWABD LATE, AS
USUAL.
Chicago, Sept. 19.—Gen. Sheridan has
an offioial report of the battle of the Big
Hole, Montana, August 9th, and opera
tions in that district preceding the battle.
Col. Gibbon reflects sevorelv on the in
habitants of Montana, who sustained the
murderous Nez Perces by trading off pro-
visions to them for stock stolen by them
from the whites, thus prolonging their
flight and adding to the danger of pnrsnit.
The best estimate of their strength give
them 2G0 warriors, well armed and
equipped. By forced marches Gibbon
came up with the hostiles with a command
of 17 officers, 132 men and 34 citizens.
The attack was made late at night, tho
Indians being completely surprised, bnt
as they immediately sought bushes for
shelter and ponrod their volley into the
troops as the latter came into the open
groundj they did considerable execution.
However, in twenty minutes the whole
oamp was in possession of the troops, the
Indians being driven out. Hfcill they shot
with deadly effeot at long ranges. By a
change of base, shelter was obtained and
retaliatory firing was commenced, with
equal destruction of Indian life. The
Indians, meantime, had captured the
howitzer, which wbr coming under escort,
and, on the mules' backs, the few privates
who were with it fleeing, and leaving the
officers to an unequal fight. During the
day varions strategies were employed, but
it was 11 o’clock at night before the Indi
ans finally withdrew. On the 11th the
dead were buried. Gen. Howard came np
that day, but it was too late to render as
sistance. A complete list is appended,show-
ing 29 killed and 40 wounded. The burial
party reported eighty-three dead Indians
fonnd on the field and six more found
dead in a ravine some distance from the

Lientenant C. A. Catledge, Second Lieu

FRANCE^
PRESIDENT IVIAUfllAlflON’M HI AN I
ft'ESTO,
Paris, Kept. 19.—President MacMa-
hon’s manifesto to the French people was
published this morning. He says, for tho
past four years he has maintained peace,
and the personal confidence with whiok
he is honored by foreign sovereigns ena
bles him to render France’s relations with
all powers more cordial. He points ont
how France has prospered and says the
Chamber of Deputies, throwing off the
leadership of moderate men, at length,
forgot the share of anthority belonging
to him, and which he could not allow to
be diminished without involving the
honor of his name before the people of
Franoe, and before history. In the exer
cise of his right he dissolved the Cham
ber.
The manifesto continues, and says his
Government will designate among the
candidates those who are authorized to
make use of his nafae. Elections favora
ble to his policy will facilitate the regu
lar conduot of the existing Government.
Hostile elections would aggravate the
conflict between the public powers, as
well as impede the cause of business and
maintain agitation, and Franoe, in the
midst of these fresh complications, would
become for Europe an objeot of distrust.
As for himself his duty would inorease
with the danger. He oould not obey
the mandates of demagogues. He could
neither become the instrument of radi
calism, nor abandon the pert in which the
Constitution has placed him. He shall
remain to defend tho conservative inter
ests, with the support of the Senate, and
shall energetically protect the faithful
public servants who, at a difficult moment,
have not allowed themselves to be intim
idated by vain threats. Ho awaits, with
full confidence, the manifestations of tho
people’s sentiments. With God’s help,
they will secure to France stability, order
and peace.
He asks the people to listen to a soldier
who is guided by nothing but the love of
oountry.

how the spoil was divided—oonnolly’s
rapacity and the contentment of hall
with a moiety.
New Yobk, Sept. 15.
William M. Tweed was before the al-
derinauio investigating committee here
to-day and continued his “revelations.”
lie produced the assignment of half of
James O’Brien’s claim against the city to
him in the name of Mr. Dewey aud tho
assignment of Mr. Dewey to him. The
assignment conveyed, for one dollar paid
by Foster Dewey to James O’Brien—all
the latter’s claims—not less tkun $150,000
—against tho city aud bore the signature
of Joseph A. Mauheimer, as witness, and
James O'Brien, aud was dated October
20, 1871. Witness said the transfer took
place in Mr. Bixby’s offioe, in
the presence of Mr. Bixby, his
brother - in - law, Mr. Dewey, and
Mr. King. Witnoss gave $20,000 by
cheeks for it and was in a way of getting
at the other half of the asNigumeut. He
gave assignment of real estate for $120,-
000 to William E. King, in presence of
Mr. Dewey for olaims. O’Brien’s signa
ture was identified by soverai witnesses.
In regard to “general supplies” business,
wituess said that various county depart
ments required paper, ink, furniture, etc.,
aud that these were famished by the
supervisors, and that the lutter purchased
them from Jones & Co., Kenuard & Go.
and from Ingersoll, Keyser k Co. In re
gard to the eharter of 1870 almost every
one oonneoted with tho Tammany “ring”
had something to do with it. The witness
oould not of his own personal knowledge
tell that members of the Assem
bly were paid, bnt he knew that Senators
were paid. The witness read the substance
of the tax levy provisions of 1870, giving
control of the finances to the Mayor,
Comptroller aud President of the Depart
ment of Pnblio Works, and said' it was
understood among them that they were to
reimburse themselves aud others for the
large sums expended in passing the char
ter.
Various tradesmen, Connully,Smith and
witness furnished money for bribing the
Legislature of 1870. Among them were
Garvey, Ingersoll, Keyser, E. A. Wood
ward, James Watson,'Ed. Boyle, Ed. Ma-
nier, and most everybody who had
dealings with ns. Among others who
witness said oontribnted were Henry
Smith, poiioo commissioner, und the Erie
Railroad, through Jay Gould. When he
said Gould he meant Fisk, aud vice versa
—for they spoke aud acted as one man.
The money for the Assembly went
through E. D. Barbour for that specific
work. He gave Barbour some $000,000
for that purpose, and he himself person
ally paid the Senators. Mr. Hall, ;Mr.
Connolly and himself had an understand
ing when they were wade a board of
audit that parties doing business with the
city were to give them fifteen per cent.
Sweeney aud Hall got their percentage.
Connolly was not satisfied with ten per
cent, and wanted twenty, and ho got it.
Mr. Hall complained of slowness in set
tling up and witness made them hurry up;
and after this Mr. Hall signed bills. They
all got ten per cent, at first and then
twenty. They agreed on Sweeney,
Coonolly and Hall to divide up ten per
cent, each, and two and one-half per
cent, was reserved for election purposes.
The prominent men to present bogus
bills were Keyser and IugerHoll. There
was a split in tho Demooratio party about
that time, which Hastings and other lie-
publicans were anxions to keop up. Wit
ness sent around for Hastings, and he
came and suggested seeing the Senators.
Witness saw Senators Norris, Winslow,
Williams, Woodiu, James Wood, George
Bowen and Theodore L. Manier. A gen
tleman introduced him to Winslow, who
wanted $50,000. Witness told Woodiu
he was willing to pay him. Witness also
told Hastings, and be said, “Stick to the
old man; I guess you'll get him.” Wood-
in asked witnoss for fifty thousand dol-
lais, and witness said, “No; forty thous
and dollars.” A few duys afterwards
Hastings informed him that the Bepubli-
can Senators had a caucus, and that they
all voted for the bill when it came up—
and ail the Democrats, except Genet.
Beside the Bepublican Senators, he ap
proached Demooratio Senators about the
bill. He gave a place to Senator Frost,
who agreed to vote for the bill, and put his
frieqds on the pay roll. The other Sen
ators approached were S. II. Frost,
Michael Norton (1 promised to help him
in his business in Now York),
T. J. Creamer (ho had an arrange
ment with Connolly), Buldwin (I gavo n
twenty thousand dollar place to his part
ner as a consideration), William M. Gra
ham (I gave him money all the timo),
Winslow, Elwood, William H. Brand got
money, Parmenter got five thousand dol
lars. I gave Winslow five hundred thou
sand dollars, to be distributed between
him and Woodin and other Bepnblicans
named, at forty thousand dollars each.
Home of the money wrh paid by our notes.
1 offered Senator Manier ten thousand
dollars. He asked twenty-five thousand
dollars, saying we were all getting rich on
Now York. The same talk was had with
Bowen and Wood. Finally they settled
on forty thousand dollars. Mr. Bowen
came to me and said be understood I was
anxious to pass this bill, aud asked me
ten thousand dollars for his support.
Next day he asked fifty thousand dollars.
I said that was impossible. Wo fixed on
forty thousand dollars, and Winslow paid
him. Senator Wood also got forty thou
sand dollars through Wiuslow. Hugh
Hastings was a valuable man on the floor,
and had control of a newspaper; so I em
ployed him to proouro votes for mo for
bills I wished passed.

WDAT SIR HENRY HALFORD SAID IN DELIV
ERING THE PRIZE TO “THE BEST RIFLE
SHOT IN THE WORLD.”
New York World Report.]
The last presentation was that of the
Wimbledon Cup to Mr. Dudley Helph, by
Sir Henry Halford. President Stanton,
in introducing Sir Henry, sketched the
history of the cup, which was plaoed in
tho hands of the American team of 1875
at Wimbledon as an offering from the
National ltifle Association of Great Brit
ain to the National liitle Association of
America. Sir Henry said :
“ Gentlemen and Officers of the National
Rifle Association:
“You have done me the honor of mak
ing me the medium of presentation of
this cup. I am glad, as it givoH mo the
opportunity of recalling to our minds tho
circumstances which called it into exis
tence, and explains its appearanco on your
list of annual prizes at Creeduioor. But,
first, I would correct whnt seems to me
an error into which General Woodward
has fallen when ho underrates the
importance of long range, as compared
with what is done and should be done in
military arms. Now, it will not do to
kiok down the ladder which haH led us
to the present pitch of excellence iu
military shooting. Yon must not forgot
that the skill shown and interest iu sci
entific rifle shooting haR boon of incalcti-
able value in the work of raising tho
standard in nil classes of arms. Had it
not been for the progress in this special
line we might have still boon working
away with the old ‘Brown Bess.’ I trust,
therefore, that no jealousy will be shown,
and a more active interest than before
taken in scientific shooting and all honor
given the men who at present win prizes
through their own diligence with urms
called the finest, but really tho pionoer
weapons on wbich’all future changes and
improvements are modeled. But of the
cup. You will remember that whoa
the American team of 1875 went to
Ireland to gain one of its uniform victo
ries—| Laughter |—after Dollymouut they
came to Wimbledon. Home of our peo
ple proposed that they should shoot along
side us in our contest for our old Elcho
Shield. But the objections to this were
manifest, aud tho council could not con
sent. Home said we wero afraid, hut to
show that we were not we offered to got
up a “scratch" team aud shoot a match.
I was on the council at that time, and
was one of the strongest opponents of
the proposed match with the Elcho Shield
teams, and I hold to that opinion still—
that—when more than one team comes
from the same country a foreigner—
aud I am not nsiug’the word in an offen
sive sence, because I look upon you bh
cousins—cannot form a proper compet
itor. But the council, while holding this
view, were auxious to havo
matob, and when this oould not
oouio about to show their
wish to do everything that was hospita
ble and kindly, they provided this cup. It
was taken away from Englaud on a most
excellent score by Major Fulton, and now
I have the pleasuro of presenting it to u
gentleman who has been termed tho best
rillo-shot in the world. I havo so called
him myself, and ho has proven himself
such, not in team shooting, but in a match
whore he was thrown ou his own resources
and was obliged to follow his own judg
ment. I consider a in a n a better marks
man who makes a hign score when shoot
ing by himself than when, with nblo
coaching, he runs up to great totals. It is
quite possible that ho may bo a more
trigger puller. The aot of lotting eff tho
rifle is of no great moment,compared with
the exercise of judgment in fixing tho
sight, and the ooaoh, of whom so littlo is
said, is still the man whomukes or breaks
a match. An to the first rifleman of tho
world, I present to you this cup.”
Hir Henry handed Mr. Helph the great
tankard. Mr. Helph responded briefly :
“Hir, as a representative of the Honth,
and as a rifleman, I accept this cup. At
the end of the year I must give it np ;
but I shall come with it—(Sir Henry,
‘Hoar! Uenr ! Hear]!')—and strive again
for its possession. If I win it then I shall
be happy, os I am now. If I lose it I
hope to bear tho loss as my English cous
ins do, like a man.”
With cheers and applause the assem
blage broke np, not before a rousing
round of cheers with a tiger had boon
given for tbe British team.
Wanted flo Gel on (lie Jury.
Presently tho stillness of tho court
room was intorruptod by the entranco of
a man, who came iu with a shullling, un-
easy step, and with bis hat in liis hand.
Nobody took tho slightest notice of him,
however. At last ho took courago and
spoke:
“Is tho Jtidgo in ?”
Tho clerk immediately awoke His Hon
or.
“Woll, what do yon want?”
“I’m looking for a job, your Honor.
I’ve boon looking for work over a
month.”
“There’s nothing for you here.”
“I thought you occasionally gavo jury
men a job. I don’t road newspapers any,
and bein’ a stranger iu town I haven't got
any prejudice agin anybody. A pard of
mine wrote down to mo at Bono Inst
week, and said that tho jury business up
hero was brisk aud it would pay to come
np. As I’m a stranger to you, and a lit
tle hard up, I’ll start in and servo a case
or two for half prioe, and you kin see
what I kin do.”
“What are your main qualifications ?”
“My strong suit is making a jury agree.
No jury over gets hung if I’m on ’em. I
just lay low till they take the first ballot,
then I jine tho majority and argue the
rest into it. I can show ’em poinis they
never tumbled to before. Homotimes I
havo to use force, but seldom. Once,
down at Truckee, in a murder case, there
was a couple of follows standin’ ont agin
hanging, aud after arguing smooth and
gentlemanly as I conld for ovor a quarter
of an hour, I went for ’em with chairs,
and by tho time I busted half a dozen
pieces of furniture ovor ’em they was
glad to come in with a verdict of “mur
der in the first degree,” and the fellow
was hung not long afterward. In these
justices’courts I can get ou a jury, and
if you’ll just give mo a wink ns to how
yon want tbe case to go, I’ll guarantee to
fetch in tho verdict you want or not take
a cent.”
Tfeeman was told to drop around again
in a <fey or so aud they would try aud
make a vacancy for him. In order to do
it, howover. Home regular juryman will
probably havo to ho discharged.— Ftr-
