Died.
\ NT A, Nov. li.—Mrs. Men el P.
ay of Albany, died yesterday
e of pneumonia at her boarding
| house, (11 Noith Forsyth street She
j came to Atlanta to attend the exposition,
nd and was on the verge of leaving for home
re I when she was stricken with the fatal
r- malady which so quickly ended her life.
I Her remains were taken to Albany to-
j day for interment, accompanied by her
I sorrowing husband, Mr. and Mrs. Merrel
Kansas City, Nov. «. Hie Missouri j (’ a i)a\ V ay of Americus, and Mr. James
Pacific passenger train which was held J Callaway of /Jacon.
and rohlvd at Wes: Side, near
Omaha, arrived hero at ft o'clock in the
morning, three hours late. The train
looked as if it had gone through the
war. The front door of the express car
broken into splinters. The front door
of the smoking car had the glass
smashed our by bullets, and the other
cars were more or less perforated with
bullet holes.
Tlie Pacific express car was the only
one that was robbed. Immediately af
ter the train arrived here the express
matter that the robl>en» did not take
u*as sent to the company's office. Sam
Green, the messenger, went to the su
perintendent's office and was closeted j
with the superintendent for aomo time, j
Before he saw his superior he j
would say nothing about the j
robbery. Afterwards he said the |
robbers only got about $289.83. Super- I
intendent Jonhnson also say* the rob
bers got but $.'85,843. It seems to be j
the general belief, however, that $Q,(K'0
wiH more nearly cover the company’s
lose. The best story of the robbery is
told by Fireman Blanchard, and is sub
stantiated as follows:
” We had got pretty near to the Fre
mont, Flkhorn and Missouri Valley
crossing, twelve miles this side of
Omaha, when I saw two masked fel
lows with guns in their hands come
crawling over to the water tank and
xioal in the tender.
"Hold up your hands ! n they yelled,
■with an oatll, and my hands went up
that quick. But Cavanaugh did not
hold up his hands at all. He just kept
them on the lever and stop-cock and
looked around over Ins shoulder. "Slow
her up.” they said, and Cavanaugh
sloped her up. "Stop her at the cross
ing,” was the next thing we heard from
under the masks, and we did just as
they said, for we were looking down
the barrels of guns that looked like can
nons to us. "Now' get off," they or
dered. We got off. ’lhen there was an
explosion on the front end of the ex
press car. Then two more fellows
oame up. They all began to shoot
around promiscuous like, and did not
seem to care where their bullets went
or who they hit. They shot into the
express car and into the smoker and all
around generally. There must have
been a hundred shots fired.
" They gave me an ax and told me to
break in the wrecked door of the ex
press car. I did not work very good
and they got mad and commenced firing
into the platform where I stood. One
bullet cut Cavanaugh’s overalls and
grazed his leg. Then they saw tiie
door was broiceu loose, and they told
me to tell the express messenger to
light up inside and come out. 1 called
to Sam and told him what they wanted.
"Well, Sam was lying over in the cor
ner of the car, hid down among some
stuff behind a coffin. The explosion
had blown out hia lights. Out he lit a
lamp and came to the door. Then the
men marchod us up into the car and
again mude us hold up our hands. Then
they made Sam shell out his keys.
" ‘Where’s your safe/ they asked.
"’You’re stauding on it,* says Sum.
Then then they went through every
thing.
" After they had completed the rob
bery of the cur one of the masked men,
who seemed to be the leader, turned to
the engineer and fireman and said,
4 Come ahead.’
"The robliera got off the train. ‘ I
gue i s it is all right now,’ one said: ‘get
back on the engine and go ahead. ’ The
engineer and firemen complied, and the
robbers disappeared."
Several or the bullets fired by the
robbers entered the sleepers and day
coaches at the rear of the train, and
severul passengers narrowly escaped
being hit.
