New Orleans, Bjpt. 28.—'the fol
lowing particulars of the Mississippi
train robbery have been obtained from
the train men who were on the spot at
the time
The southbound train on the Mobile
and Ohio railway left Buckatunna,
Miss., at ten minutes past 3 Wednesday
morning, and just as it was about to
start two men, having the lower por
tions of their faces oorered with ban
dona handkerchiefs, boarded the engine
from the west side, and covering Engi
neer Zacji Therrel and Fireman Thomas
Hirst with bi« revolvers, ordered the
former to “pull out. ”
I,is rac ing the Engtneon
The robber then told the engineer
that lie wanted the train stopped at the
bridge across Buckatunna creek, about
two miles below Buckatunna, and gave
explicit instructions that the moil anl
express cars must be stopped just after
crossing the bridge, so as to leave the
remainder of the train standing on the
trestle, which is about twenty-five feet
above the water, thus shutting off any
possibility of assistance being rendered
by passengers or trainmen on the rear
of the train.
Obeyed Orders.
He ordered the engineer to carry out
these instructions explicitly, under pen
alty of death, and also cautioned him
against blowing the whistle, ringing the
bell, or giving any warning signal. The
instructions were* obeyed to the letter,
and the train stopped as ordered. When
the train stopped the robbers compelled
the engineer and fireman to aocouipany
them to the express car. A third man,
similarly masked, and carrying a pistol
in his hand, now made his appearance.
In th. Kxpress Car.
The trio of robbers then made the
engineer call to the express messenger,
J. W. Dunning, to open the door. At
the time Mr. Dunning was sitting with
his back to the door, writing. The
solid doom of the car were opened, the
grated ddors being closed and locked
When Mr! Dunning turned he looked
down the muzzles of two ominous look
ing revolvers, and was ordered by the
leaders to open the door; "aud hold uj
your hands,” said the leader, ‘‘or
kill yon.” The door was opened, and
the leadei got in the ear, he compelling
Dunning to take a canvas bag anu
empty the contents of the safe into it
Overlooked 87,000 in Silver.
The express messenger worked rather
slowly, and succeeded iu shoving quite
a number of packages in the back part
of the safe, where they could not be
seen by the robber. In this way he
saved between $300 and $1,000. “The
robber got between $2,500 and $2,700
from the express messenger's safe.
Near the door of the express car was
$7,000 in silver, government funds, en
route to Florida, which the robber over
looked. tbe messenger taking particular
pains to keep himself between the silver
and the robber.
While the robbery of the express car
was going on considerable speculation
was indulged iu by the passeugers and
trainmen as to the cause of the stop,
and Conductor Billy Scholes got out on
the platform, an 1, finding he could not
get off. called out to know what was
the matter. The robbers stationed out
side fired two shots in the air. and told
him to come down and find out what
was the matter.

THE REASON
The limit of hours from 7 to 11 o’clock
in the morning is given, is because cer
tain articles nre limited in quantity,
and to avoid the words “J UST OUT,”
after a length of time, it usually re
quires to exhaust the specials, which
generally is first sold away, by tbe
early comers.
All have a fair chance now, and, it
cannot be my fuult, if negligence of late
coming is yo*ur cause.

e engineer was sent up on the plat
form and ordered to call the mail agent,
agent,
W. 0. Bell, and make him open the
glass door_at the end of the car.
Mr. Bell, when he heard the shot
fired, suspected tlyit the express car was
being robbed, and gathered np a num
ber of valuable packages, which he en
deavored to save by getting into the
w e oar with them. The entrance
locked with baggage and he coaid
not get in. When he saw the face, of
the engineer through the glass door he
had the packages on his arm, and
thought his fears of a robbery were
S oundless. No sooner hail he opened
e door than the robber covered him,
and he demanded a transfer of the pack
ages whieh the mail agent made.
The robbers then took the registered
pouch and left, ordering the mail agent
to elose the door and stay inside unless
he wanted to get hurt. The express mes
senger was escorted back to his oar and
given similar orders, while the engineer
and fireman were ordered to get on the
engine and pull out. The robbers then
took to the woods on the west side of
the road. A posse is in pursuit
Rube Burrow* Suspected.
Mobile, Ala, Sept 28.—The leader
of the train robbers who held up the
Mobile and Ohio train at Buckatunna.
is believed to be Rube Burrows, a noted
desperado, the man whom a search for
created so much excitement in the
northern part oi the state a few months
ago.
At that time it was believed he was
organizing a gang to hold up some
train, and the Mobile and Ohio com
pany, anticipating an attack, armed all
its train hands with Winchesters rifles.
This was made public, and was doubt
less what the robber referred to. as he
said, during the progress of robbing the
moil car: “The Mobile and Ohio dared
me to hold up a train, and I wanted to
/Show them I conld do it. ”
81,000 Reward.
A special to The Mobile Register from
Buckatunna says the suspected parties
were seen camping near the bridge for
several days. Three men were seen
Wednesday morning about 9 o’clock
making their way east* on foot. They
were panned, and were avoiding the
houses by going around them. They
are believed to be the train robbers. A
posse was in pursuit up to last accounts,
and confident of overtaking the men.
The Mobile and O lio road offers $1,000
reward for the arrest and conviction of
the robbers.
My first impulse was to rush in and
ask Ellen what troubled her, but there is
something about my cousin that pre
vents any display of sympathy, so clos
ing; the door as quickly as its remonstra-
tive old hinges would allow, I suppressed
my wonder until I stood before the long
mirror in aunt’s spare room. As usual
once’ there, my reflected and reflecting
self put our heads together to puzzle the
thing out. Everybody in this house is
30 painfully superior that I liave been
driven to seek the companionship of this
girl in the glass, and, to let you into a
secret, we really liave a.great liking for
each other, though you may think dif
ferently some time if you happen to be
present.
“Daisy,” said this amiable personage,
“you’ve just discovered two very strange
things. That Ellen was carejes3 enough
to leave her door open is one mystery;
that she is lying there on the bed with
her head buried in the pillows is an
other."
No wonder the “glass Daisy” looked as
if all the problems of Euclid and algebra
together would not outweigh this one,
for never before had it entered her wild
little head that Ellen couid feel sorry,
or worry about anything. Ellen, who
loses her door in a way that no one ven
tures to question; Ellen, whose culm,
dear eyes hold such a fine contempt for
somebody who cries over her book; Ellen
to be lying there sobbing—for I heard a
sob, I uid, positively I l began to wonder
if it were worth while dressing for din
ner. It seemed out of place that a plain
everyday dinner should be served where
such things as this were happening.'
Where’s Nell?” asked uncle, glancing
at her empty chair as we gathered about
the table. Nell late! This was almost too
much for my powers of silence. I was
just on the point of unburdening myself
of everything I had seen and thought
when my cousin came in looking as calm
and imperturbable as ever and swept to
her place with the old stateliness I have
been envying three times a day for the
last two weeks.
To be sure she didn't say much. I did.
I always did. Auntie Calls me “Unques
tionable.” So it was quite possible for
her to be quiet without attracting atten
tion, but I thought a strange light leaped
into her eyes when Uncle Harry said;
By the way, I saw Maxwell on the street
today. When did he return?”
The question being addressed to the
center of the table and that dignitary
not being communicative I thought it
quite time to ask “Who is Maxwell?” for
I am only a visitor here and am not yet
as well acquainted as 1 intend to be.
Yes, I did see Aunt Jean’s quick glance
that meant not to ask anything more,
but it was all wasted. It was absolutely,
positively necessary to my happiness that
I should know all there was to be known
of the mysterious Mr. Maxwell, so I at
once stated my views to the family at
large, whereupon ray uncle, who knows
something of my perseverance, conde
scended to inform me that he was an old
fciend of “ours”—“ours,” indeed! and I
had not even heard of him before—that
he had been away for several years and
had suddenly returned. As if any girl
could not have deduced that much from
his question! Aunt spoiled my nice little
speech, telling 1dm how grateful 1 was
for his wealth of information, by rising.
Of course we had to follow suit, though
any one could see her coffee had not been
tasted—and auntie’s love of coffee is one
of her weaknesses.
Wasn’t it contemptible of me to pre
tend I wanted something from my room,
as an excuse for following somebody up
stairs? Wasn’t it atrocious of me to
stand in that somebody’s doorway, just
to see how she would manage to get me
away? Was it not perfectly ridiculous
to burst out crying and run away when
Ella said, gently; “It was good of you to
close my door, Daisy.” Perhaps if she
had not kissed me afterward I would not
have been 60 frightened, but I didn’t sup
pose she knew how to do such a tiling, it
was so unexpected. No wonder I rushed
to the glass Daisy to tell her what would,
I knew, frighten her, too. But she looked
so absurd with her redeyes that I laughed
at her in spite of myself. “You foolish
thing,” she said, “inquisitive and prying
as you can be*one minute, crying ana
making a goose of yourself generally the
next! Better bathe your face and behave
like a sane girl or as near like one as pos
sible.” Then, as it is a woman’s duty to
obey as well as to command (herself), I
bathed my eyes forthwith and reached
the drawing room just in time to hear
my uncle say; “Why, Maxwell, old fel
low, glad to see you again!”
So this was the mysterious stranger!
this tall man with such black, deep set
eyes that I scarcely knew for looking at
them whether he had anything else in
his face or not. He didn’t seem at all
impressed with me. Strange, too, wasn’t
it, because I had just given my hair an
extra touch and considered myself quite
charming again. Yet this Mr. Maxwell
treated me as if I were nothing but a
child. He and uncle talked, as men
will, of commercial union, of federation,
and of annexation.
Now to quote Jack, for brothers are
always eloquent, “annexation” is worse
than a “red rag” to me, and I was up in
arms at once. But alas! Mamma thinks
that my vehemence is unsuitable for
Aunt Jean’s august presence, and there
are cases in which my opinions necessa
rily agree with mamma’s; so not finding
my smothered wrath enjoyable, I crossed
to the music room and struck into a
brilliant little waltz, one of Rubinstein's
