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.

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 t<> greet Jack; he i some importance agine l, ow quickly' “Ellen." but it was Mr. ', much gladness i B W wave, it broke for . that Hit, his sides, all the •• ^ a»dhe4e m ej„S J ^l«»| at explanation; f or witi, * In D ab»„tfl ledi?Ugbt8 ™|J ; to my cousin.
