A BRAVE ENGINEER
Thwarts Train Robbers by Rushing
Through an Obstruction.
Lake Hlioro express train No. 12,
arriving from the west, puffed into the
union station at Cleveland, O., Tues¬
day morning after having enjoyed a
most, thrilling experience on the plains
of Indiana during the night. An at¬
tempt was made to hold up the train
at Kessler, Indiana, upon the iden¬
tical spot that tho train was held up last
fall. The train was fast approaching
a split switch at Kessler when the
engineer noticed that the switch was
turned so ats to run the train on the
siding. A big obstruction of ties and
lumber was piled upon tho siding a
few rods ahead of his engine. The
obstruction did not appear to be im¬
passable, and the engineer put on all
the steam and dashed through the pile,
passing safely on to the mam line
through the split switch nt a high rate
of speed.
As the train passed the obstruction
the engineer noticed a group of masked
men and as the engine cleared the
track of all obstacles the would-be
highwaymen fired several shots into
the train, none of which, however,
took effect.
The United States express car was
attached to the train and had on board
a large amount of money. It is
thought that this was known to the
desperadoes who attempted to hold up
the train. Their disappointment in
not carrying out their plans of stop¬
ping the train was evinced in their
firing of shots when they saw that
their plans had been foiled by the
boldness of the engineer in dashing
through the heap of ties upon the
track.

over a quarter of 6 million dollars.

in the neighborhood and the residents
rushed pell-mell into the streets, but
none of them were is jured.

TRADE IMPROVES.
Bradstreet’s Report of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreet’s Business Review of the
past week
“While little significance is attached
to the moderate improvement in trade
at San Francisco, Pittsburg, Balti¬
more, Augustfusnd that clearing Atlanta : when it ie
ftdcjted house totals foi
July report twenty-nine cities with
larger aggregates than in July last
year, contrasted with the June report,
rrhicli contains only eighteen cities
with aggregates larger than those iu
June a year ago, it is perceived that
there are influences at work at the in
terior favoriDg an increase in the vol
Qme 0 f business. Wool remains steady
at last wreck’s 1 cent advance,
having been stimulated
by differences of opinion as to the
tariff outlook for that staple. Wheat
has advanced, in sympathy with corn,
on increased orders and reports of
crop damage from abroad, while corn’s
ebarp advance is due partly to exag¬
gerated drought. noaon3 ThereTs of little damage likelihood from
of
the corn crop being smaller than in
either of the two preceding years, not¬
withstanding <mr advices of 25 per
cent damage in Kansas and -40 per
cent in Nebraska. Southern crop
prospects generally are excellent.
“The improvement announced in
the general trade at San Srancisco is
in part based on the interest manifes¬
ted in the war in Asia, provision deal¬
ers particularly anticipating largely
increased trade.
“War between China and Japan has
not affected the price of tea here vet,
though there is an increased demand
noted at New York, Boston and
Chicago. Cable advices are that crops
of tea are likely to equal those of last
year. Teas are low now, and stocks
here moderate. If tea ports should be
closed high prices would follow quick¬
ly. China exports but little rice, and
Japan’s rice export season has passed,
while we are entering upon a new crop.
Prices of rice would probably be sharp¬
ly affected should the war continue
another enhanced season,.. They may be moder¬
ately in any event.
“Added interest in w’ool has charac¬
terized the Philadelphia as well ua
Boston markets. Slight increases in
the demand in nearly all leading lines
are reported from Pittsburg, and at
Baltimore jobbers in dry goods, no¬
tions, hats and shoes report business
more encouraging. Providence jewel¬
ry manufacturers report orders very
small and the outlook not promising.
“Advices from southern cities re¬
port moderate gains and fair prospects
for the fall at Memphis, no improve¬
ment in Charleston, the trade selling
cautiously at Savannah, and business
quiet at Jacksonville, where collec¬
tions are slow. There is an improve¬
ment in the volume of business at Au¬
gusta, and jobbers at Atlanta are filling
orders more freely, owing to good crop
prospects. Nashville, too, announces
an improved outlook. Cha ianooga’s
July trade is r r r|ed larger than for
t> iM®J •m ’AVtiuoss ia
quiet and collections unimproved.
Trade has been slack at New Orleans,
but the boot and shoe business is im¬
proving and manufacturers are busy.
Advices from Galveston and other
points in Texas continue to report im¬
provement.”

cxdlo mills throughout tho state are doing
well. The cotton crop will lie a very large one,

itable prices to growers.

THE GUILOTIXE
Will be the Fate of President Carnot’s
Slayer.
The trial of Santo Cesario was con¬
cluded at Paris Friday. When the arg¬
ument had been concluded the court
gave these questions to the jury: “Did
the prisoner, Santo Cesario, assassin¬
ate President Carnot, and was the
crime premeditated?” The jury retired
at 12 :05 oelock and was out just thir¬
teen minutes. They returned to court
and presented an affirmative answer to
both questions. At the announcement
of the verdict the supercilious grin
which Cesario has worn most of the
time during the trial disappeared like
magic and his face blanched.
Attorney General Folchier demanded
the immediate imposition of the death
penalty. There was a silence for a
moment and then the judge in solemn
tone, but with a touch of harshness,
pronounced the sentence that the pris¬
oner be put to death by the guilotine.
