Kansas City. Mo.. Sept. &.—A lone
bandit held up the Pacific Express mes
senger an the WicMto and little Bock
express, on the Missouri Pacific, and af
ter ransacking the safe made good hie
escape.
The train left the Union depot at 9:10
o’clock p. in., and when it readied the
Grand Avenne station, masked men en
tered the combination baggage and ex
press car, which was in charge of G.
McLaughlin, combination baggage man
and express messenger. The bandit in
timidated the messenger by pointing
two revolvers at him, and finally suc
ceeded in binding and gagging him.
He then extracted the key of the ex
press company’s safe from the messen
ger’s pocket, and opening the safe se
cured several thousand dollars.
When the train reached Sheffield dis
trict, out of the city, the robbed disem
barked and made off with his booty. The
train proceeded several stations down
the road before the robbery was dis
covered.
The conductor found McLaughlin
hound and gagged, who, after being re
leased. told the story of the robbery as
given above and telegraphed to head-
quartos in this city. The officers start
ed on the trail at once.

Special Letter for the Banner.]
Mexico City, Mex., Sept. 1st 1S92.
In my last letter I have promises to
write again, and select as my subject
the various places of interest in this
city. I shall therefore spiak now of
the National Palace, the Cathedral and
the Paseo de la Reforms, leaving the
Hacienda of Don Joan Corona, La Yiga
Canal Monte de Pieded, the Alameda,
Poet office department, the National
mint and other places for another let
ter.
The National building occupies the
entire eastern side of the Plaza Mayor,
with a frontage of 615 feet, containing
all the departments of the Federal Gov
ernment, the Hail of Foreign Ambas
sadors and a gallery with portraits of
Hidalgo, Iturbide, Morelas and other
persons of note in the history of this
land. This building has been com
menced in 1692, and since, various ad
ditions have been made, so that it is to
day after the “Palais de Justice” in
Paris, the largest public building in the
world.
Having been introduced to the secre
tary of the Minister of public works, he
explained to me a very curious fact,
vix: all letters to subalterns or outside
parties, all documents are written in
duplicate, one is kept in the archives of
the department and the other is sent to
the addressee. The law prohibits the
ose of tvpe writers and copies in tissue
letter books. This, he added, is the

“I am glad he won the fight, as he
deserved to win. I never knew Corbett
to take a drink of whisky, he is per
fectly temperate and is a jolly good
fellow. His second, Choynski, lived op
posite me in San Francisco, and I saw
him every day. I have a large picture
of Choynsld hanging in our parlor.”
Mr. Funkenstein was loud in his praise
of Corbett, and says be would like to
see him once more and shake the hand
of his old school mate and friend.

Fobt Smith, Sept 7.—Western Ar

date for governor, leads the ticket in all
this part of the state. His majority will
be fully 25,000. In this city his majority

party ticket polled a surprisingly tight
vote. It did not carry six counties in
