Va., on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The Chicago express ran into the Cumberland accommodation, telescop­ ing the rear car and crushing tbe ends of tbe other cars. The shock detached the boiler from the engine trucks, the escaping steam adding greatly to the terrible effect of the ac­ cident. None of the passengers on the Chicago express sustained any injury, except a slight shaking up. Nearly &tl on the accommodation were injured, some shockingly mangled and scalded by the steam and more or less braised. Eye-witnesses describe the scene as heart-rend­ ing in the extreme. During the month of August 33,840 hnmigrants arrived in this country, and during the eight months ending Aug. 31, 318,475 im­ migrants arrived.

The care that was exercised in moving the President from Washington to Long Branch was good testimony to the concern of the people for his safety. No American Presi­ dent before this had enjoyed the luxury of a pilot-engine. That was formerly a privilege of royalty alone. Yet the life of the President is as valuable when he is in bodily health as when he is on the verge of disso­ lution. The express company in Wash­ ington not only sent out its steadiest horses to draw the wagon that- carried the President, but appointed if# trustiest man to drive them and put an attendant at the bridle-rein of each. The best engineers, firemen and conductors werfe selected, and each understood that he had a post of honor. The whole track was cleared and every precaution that ingenuity oould sug­ gest ww taken to make the journey comforta­ ble. roEjrrvcAi.

The mm of thft terrible tornado of flame In the lower Michigan penlhtula may be readily placed in the mind of the casual reader by the aid of the following explanation: The southern peninsula of Michigan has the form, on the map, of a left-hand mitten, laid on its palm. The 'space betwam the thumb and fingers is represented by Saginaw bay. Huron county forma the end of the thumb, and beneath it, on the map, 11# Tuscola and Samlac counties, aide by side, Sanilac to the eastward. Bad Ax is in the aanter of Huron county, and is the county aaat, and Ctao is in the center of Tub* cola county, and Is the county Mat Each of the three oounties has about twenty-four town* ships six miles square. The loss of life and property is immense. A dispatch from Lexington says that dead bodies are being brought in from all directions. It Is estimated that 600 people are homeless and in Immediate want of assistance. The farm­ ers in newer townships lose live stoek, houses, barns, crops, everything. A fanner who. just came in from Austin township saved his family of eight ohildren in a field of buckwheat, but he says the whole country in that part is total­ ly destroyed and many live« have been lost. The loss of live stock is simply immense. The older settled townships escaped with but little loss, but in most of the newer townships nothing remains but a fire-swept, blackened wilderness, A dispatch from Marietta, Sanilac county, says a terrible state of affairs exists at that point. The entiro section of the country lying to the north and east of that place has been on fire, and the number of families rendered home­ less will reach the hundreds. Up to this time seventeen persons are known to have met their death by fire. The horse of Ira Humphrey, the mail carrier between this place and Davies Corners, came home badly burned, with a card attached to the saddle written by Humphrey, stating his peril from fire. A relief party found him on the road dead. He was entirely denuded of his clothes, either having been burned on his person, or torn off bv himself in his desperation. In the township' of Argyle, Huron county, the following were burned dead : Paul Wetzel, wife and five children; George Krotch, wife and three children; Mrp. Morris Welch and two children; James Gilson, and two women, recently from Canada, names un­ known. The Rev. Z. Grenell, Jr., pastor of the First Baptist Church, of this city, arrived from Sand Beach at noon to-day by the Narrow-Gauge and Grand Trunk, passing through most of the burned region in Sanilac county. He gave a reporter a graphic and fearful description of the calamity as he saw it* and heard of it from eye-witnesses. On his way to Port Huron by the Narrow-Gauge railroad it was noticed that, in some places, the railroad track had proved an effectual barrier to the flames, which did no(t find fuel in the gravel of the road-bed. In other places; however, it burned the ties and twisted* and destroyed the rails, which had to be replaced. In other places it had leaped clear over the road, and taken a new start on the other side. For the most part, it got across in some way, and the spots of un- burnt country were small, few, and far between. From the car-windows, all the way, it pre­ sented to the view the aspect of a burned desert of ashes and smoldering embers, without a sign of animal or vegetable life, a country abandoned by God and man, and to whidh it was impossible to imagine any one returning. The telegraph poles had all burned, and the wires had been reset upon any stick that oould be found, and, for long distances, were merely laid along the ties beside the rails. One of the most singular and appalling phe­ nomena accompanying the calamity was the awesome darkness which preceded it and re- mained until all was over. The experience of Band Beach will illustrate that of the whole lake shore. At sunrise Monday the air was as clear as usual. At 1 p. in. the people began to observe a singular copper-colored appearance of the whole firmament. A little later thin deepened to a red, and by 2 o'clock it was so dark that people were compelled to take lanterns to find their way out of doors. Mr. Jenks, a well-known citizen, said that he passed his hand back and forth before his face and could not see. The fearful darkness continued all the afternoon, with an occasional rift, through which the rays of the tun darted fur­ tively with unnatural brightness, to be suc­ ceeded immediately by still more blinding blackness. Many thought the end Of the wotld was at hand, and were filled with terror. The horrors of. iW iKMgiMttoa wore Mjuii intensiued by the approach of the flames, the stories of the uni­ versal desolation to the west ©f them, the dread that they were fated to a frightful death, and then by the arrival of the charred, blackened and shapeless remains of the poor victims. This awful condition continued all along the Bhore urttil Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock, when the wind, which had been blowing steadily from the west, turned suddenly from the north, carrying the cool, moist air of f he lake to the fevtered heads and cmoke-and-ash-begrimed faces of the people. It was sweet as the breath of God, and was ac­ cepted as thankfully. The scenes of horror in the woods were too frightful for any pen to portray. The dead were found everywhere, very rarely recogniza­ ble, and in most cases (indistinguishable as hu­ man beings. Many were mere masses of burnt flenh. which fell apart when touched, and in very few oould sex or age be (Usttngmsbea. From one body the head rail when it was lifted up; from another, that of a young woman, the leg separated and hum suspended by the tendons. In some places families were found reduced to an undistinguishable heap of roasted and' blackened blocks of flesh, where they fell together, overwhelmed by the rushing flames. The manifold horrors of the calamity were multiplied by fearful tornadoes, which cut off retreat in every .direction. The awful heat of the atmosphere raised the smoke a little from the ground, and it hung above the earth in an impenetrable mass, shutting out all light, and leaving tSA poor creatures below helpless and blind, until the fire caught tbfem and closed their agony in death. Sow and then flames shot up in tremendous masses, which would be seized by a tornado and carried bodily a quarter of a mile away, and then pushed down again to start the flames in a new ?[uarter. In this way helpless fugitives flying or life were penned in by seas of ilame, and roasted like rats In a cage. One farmer, a few miles from Sand Beach, who was plow­ ing with oxen, on noticing the approaching darkness, and thinking he had plenty of time, waited to turn his cattle and-horses loose. He then hurried to tbe house,%nd, finding his wife gone to a neighbor, took two children him­ self, and gtivo three others in charge of hw old­ est daughter. Before they got many rode from the house the flames bad got before them. He hurried off in another direction with hi* two youngest, but the girl pushed on over the burn­ ing grasH with tbe other three. He escaped. The bodies of the other four were afterward found in a heap, charred beyond recognition. John Ballentine, of Verona Mills, says that fifty-three lives were known to be lost in the neighborhood of Sand Beach. The fire sud­ denly reached Verona Mills on Monday, and the town was soon wiped out. The wind was *o strong that Ballentine and wife were picked np and blown fifteen cr twenty yards. A woman and her husband were found lying against a tree, dead, the woman being partly delivered or a child. The devastation caused by the fires of 1871 is nothing in comparison to the fires of the past' few days. In the vicinity of Richmond ville Western, Forester and Marcer townships relia­ ble information leads one to say that upward of 300 persons perished in the flames. There was no escape for them. The woods and ground were no dry that no warning of danger was given. Faster than a race-horse came the fire. It would embrace a house or a barn with it* contents and away to the next. Persons who have been through the terrible ordt al say that in ten minutes from the time the fire struck there would be no vestige of a house left A correspondent says: "I have just returned from a trip through tbe burned district, and a description of the nights would make tbe read­ er's blood turn cold. In many instances men, women and children were found lying on their faces in the road, where they had fallen when overtaken by the fire. Children were lying on logs, where they bad clambered for safety. There was no finding each other when once separated. Many took refuge in well* and root-houses, thinking to escape, but in almost every instance were suffocated. Details of the disaster in Huron are as bad as here. I be­ lieve that when the returns are in 1,009 per­ son* jrill be found to have perished in the flames. Forester township will turn out Thurs­ day to bury the dead cattle, sheep and horses, the stench from which is unbearable. Tbe Ilev. W. T. Allington found sixteen dead bodies near Deckarville. Only five building* were left be­ tween that place awl Mindsn. John Flytowa- ger'a family, seven children and wife, were all burned together in Paris township, with fif­ teen other*.

They are glad to get: way with their 1 tea. Many of the men are Cana­ dians, who ave been over but a short time and have Ji t begun to get things in comfort­ able shape. Many need medicine and medical attendanoa.' The folloi feag appeal has been issued by the committee c citizens of Port Huron, headed by Senator I ong«r, Mayor Carleton and others: To thsPsopli jf the United States: A most a) Ailing disaster has fallen upon a large portfo ,pt the oounties of Huron and Bamlae, wit mm adjacent territory, a section of country ptntly covered with forest, and Mwotctpli by nearly 60,000 people, largely recently *el lea, and either poor or in very moderate d sumstances. In the whole of this section the \ has been but little rain during the part tw months, and everything was dry. when on M oday, Sept. 5, a hurricane swept over it, oar dug with it a sheet of flame that hardly any ting could withstand. We have advices of 800 persons burned to death, many of th< b by the roadside or in the fields while seek ig places of safety, and it is probable th t twicc this number have perished. We have eports from twenty or more townships,: t which scarcely a house, barn or supplie of any kind are loft, and thousands ( people are destitute and help­ less. All o these people require immediate assistance, aid most of them must depend on charity for jmouths to come. We are doing all in our [power to succor them, but the necessities dP the case are so great that con­ tributions from charitable people through­ out the rdintry will be required to keep them throughout the winter. We, therefore, appeal to jou to send money, clothing, bed­ ding, movipins, or any other supplies that will help JaSntain the "sufferers, and enable them to pravide shelter for Riemselves, and begin workjagain on their farms. Contribu­ tions may hi sent to the Mayor, E. C. Carleton, Chairman or the Relief Committee appointed by the citizenl of Pftrt Huron, who have sent agents tbroagh tbe burned district to ascertain the wants of the sufferers and distribute sup­ plies. j Detroit, Sept. 10. The forest fires in the lower peninsula of this State have been quite generrlly quenched by rain after ravaging thirty-six townships, and the ex­ tent of the awful calamity is beginning to reveal itself. The devastation is even more wide­ spread than bad been feared by the most de­ spondent. ft seems, from present reports, that about thirty-one townships in Tuscola, Sanilac and Huion counties have been swept over by the flames. In this district, are about fourteen villages utterly de­ stroyed, and the surrounding country uhorn so close by the fire as to leave the ground cleared like a newly-sown field. No estimate of losses or deaths can be made with any degree of ac­ curacy, but news from trustworthy sources leads to the belie' that the estimate on 200 lives lost is very low, and that 300 is near­ er the reality. The awful details are be­ ginning to come to hand. They are of a character to make strong men shudder. Com­ munication with the burnt district has been again opeuedttnd assistance is being rapidly furnished, tfanv persons are still missing in the burned districts, and the exact loss cannot be known for some dayi. Among reports of burials are the following: Paris township 29 Austin 16 Mlnden.... 3 Bingham..,. . 8 Del aware. 8 Argyle 1 It is said that twenty-seven dead have been found in the country between Bad Ax and Port Hope. A dispatch from Ludington estimates that the probable loss of life is from 300 to 400 in Sanilac county alone. The towns of Watertown, Flynn, Elmer, Moore, Argyle, Ever­ green, Greenleaf and Eaton have suffered fear­ ful loss in lives, and tbe destiuction of proper­ ty in these townships is immense. Everything is gone, and the people are congregated at these place^ In someMbeiities whole families have per­ ished in the flames, and on the eastern and north boratiof the county their condition is EUii'ui extreme. The facto am mom orrible flHp heretofore reported, and many have suspended business to attend to the un­ fortunates. On the other side of Cass river, the condition is deplorable, and the sufferers are without homes, food or clothing. Immediate ceiief is contributed liberally, but the outlook for the fnture is dark indeed. Men who have grown old clearing land, and were enjoying the fruits of their labor in com­ fortable homes, have lost everything and been made paupers. The territory burned over is peopled by at lea*t 50,000 inhabitants, one-half of whom have settled here within ten years. Tbe conditions which made tbe fire so destructive were these: Fully two-thirds of the timber over the entire burned tract was destroyed by the great fire of 1871, and was piled up in miles of windfalls, or, a' standing, was mere kindling-wood. The settlers preferred burned lands as being easily cleared, and hundreds of new homes were sur­ rounded by great tracts of fallen timber. The roods were lined on either side by it, and many who perished were caught on these roads and hemmed in by labyrinths of this burning hemlock, black ash and pine. There had t)cen no rains over this region since spring to wet down any depth. Even swamps which were usually cov­ ered with one or two feet of water had become dry as tinder. For weeks there had been no heavy winds. The prevailing winds had been from Lake Huron, with which fires did not run. On the day of the great fire there was not a square mile in all the burned region that did not hold more or less fire. Monday morning opened with a cloudless sky, the mercury grad­ ually rising to 100 and over. The wind was south, running to southwest, and by noon in­ creasing to a lifty-mile gale. At noon in many places iamps bad to be lit, and a sickening sense of fear and impending calamity over­ spread the whole population. Alwut 4 o'clock the wind assumed the violeuce of a tornado. The flames were of a ghestly bluish hue, giving no light, but licking up timber, houses, barns, stacks, animals and people with a resist­ less fury, and this at places were no tire was known to be for miles around in the morning. On Tuesday the extent of the horror began to be kuown--dead men, women and children at what had been their doorsteps, at their gates in the fields, and on the highways, some untouched by tire, others chaired and blackened. One poor woman, in the agony of childbirth, was half-burned. The living, with burned feet, ears or hands, and many women and children entirely naked, were separated from the rest of the family, blind, hopeless and despairing. 1 In iSaniiac county, Cato, vith a population or 100, suffered a clean sweep of every t-nild- ing. Wiliiini Cole was burned. Iu Tyre, which bud a population of fifty, one dwelling ulone is left, beckeivilie, with a population of 150, loct two mills, six stores and dwellings At Anderson, with a population of luO, a clean sweep of all the buildings was made. At Cumber, which had a population of fifty, only one dwelling is left. A clean sweep wax made of It climondvill", with a population of 100, and Heven lives wtr; lo*t. The following is a nummary of the loscen by town­ ships : Washington, 3 i home-; Watertown, 4'J homey, 5 live*; Elmer, 30 homes; Moore, 40 home*, 14 lives; Argyle, 40 homex, 18 live" : Austin, 00 homes, 9 lives; Marion, 26 homes, 20 lives; Delaware, 40 hornet-, 7 live*; Miudeu. 30 homes; IJridge- bamton, 40 homos. Lamotte. Evergreen and Green have suffered undoubtedly in lives and property In tbo same proport on, but no particulars are at hand. 'FJynn, 30 homes 5 Speaker, 25 homes ; Maple Valiev, i'O homes ; Main) 11c, 10 homes. Lexington, 20 homes; Elk, 25 homes. In Huron county, in the village of Bad Ax, the population of which was about 300, the eourt-houne and one store only wore saved. In Verona, with a population ot 100, a church and hotel were saved. A clean sweep wan made of Huron City, population 200. The name fate befell Umbly, population 160 ; and Parisville, population 100. At Port Hope, three mills, a salt block and lumber, and six dwellingM were burned. Tbe townships of Bingham, Paris, Bloomfield and Kubicon are nearly a clean sweep. There are eighty-five dead in these towuHhips, and many missing--with no hopes. Reports hourly increase the number, and every township 'has differed nearly as much. B. 11. Noble, banker, of Lexington, who has a good knowledge of the country bnrned, estimation the loss of property iu Huron and Sanilac counties at 000,000. The in­ surance among the farmers was mostly in' a mutual company, whose members are tl*f) prin­ cipal sufferers, and, of course, nuable to pay assessments. Belief has commenced to flow in from various quarters, and subscription* ate being taken np ty, , i / : thrall the commercial cities. In answer m a request for tent*, tbo Secretary of War urges the construction of temporary build- ings, and Gov. Jerome has telegraphed him to order one thousand army blankets. Secretary Windom lias instructed the Collector of Cus­ toms at Port Huron to pass free of duty all contributions from Canada. The residents of tlie burned di-trict were mainly inxured in the Farmer*' Mutual Company, of Huron, Sanilac and Tuscoln eountien, »nd probably not over 20 per cent, will be realized. ^ f RESIDENT GARFIELD. „ Loho Branch , Sept i. The President was removed from the White House to Long Branch at an early hour yester­ day morning. Every preparation had been made with the utmost care. Every detail had been prepared with great prudence. The ar­ rangements were so perfect^ the details so care­ fully arranged, that the President was removed without the slightest break in the programme, and with much less disturbance even than had been expected. Shortly before* 6 o'clock Dr.# Bliss, Dr. Boynton, Dr. Reyburn, Gen. Swaim, Col. Rockwell and Col. Cor- bin took the stretcher, three upon a side, and liifted it. The President did not indicate that he wa* aware of what was being done. They car­ ried tbe bed through ibe room to the corridor, and, without any trouble whatever, and without the knowledge of the President, took it down the broad staircase to the front door. Mean­ while Mrs. Garfield, her daughter, Miss Rock­ well and Mrs. Edson had taken a carriage driven by Albert, the coachman, and had gone to the train. Dr. Agnew, Dr. Woodward and Dr. Reyburn had followed in another carriage. Just before they left the room they sent word down stairs and the express-driver took the horses which he is accustomed to drive and attached them to the huge Adams Express wagon used for treasury purposes. By the time the horses were attached the bed had reached the front door, and it was the work of but a moment to place the President on the wagon. Thirteen soldiers stood near by ready for any service, bi!t Ojey were not then needed. Tlie wagon was so large and the platform was so accurately built that it was easy to take the President in the wagon without tlie slightest disturbance Three of the gentlemen sat npon one side of the wagon and three upon the othenwhile the stretcher rested upon their knees. This made (he bent kind of cushion and spring, and ren­ dered jolting, if there was careful driving, al­ most impossible. In a moment after the Presi­ dent had been placed upon the wagon, Dr. Blis* said to the driver: "We are all ready. Drive very slowly and carefully." The horses started as though they knew the errand on which they were engaged, and at a slow walk came down the roadway to the gate. The sun was just rising, and as the President left the White House the lights were put out When the gate was reached there was a turn made necessary into the ave­ nue, and a slight jolt of the wagon was percept­ ible. At this time the President toBsed his head upon his pillow. He lay upon a mattress over which was placed a Diannec, ana upon wman rested a low pillow. A coverlid and sheet were over his body, reaching about to the breast His hands were hid beneath these coverings. Dr. Bliss held one hand with a constant pres­ sure on the pulse, and Dr. Reyburn was simi­ larly occupied with the other. Gen. Swaim, who sat on one side of the wagon, and Col. Rock- well, who was upon the other, were con­ stantly fanning tne President He did not seem, by the most authentic statement, to be aware of what was going on. After Pennsylvania avenue was reached the Presi­ dent lay quietly, and his face exposed to the view of those who were upon the sidewalks, seemingly asleep. There were but few people there to witness this dramatic departure, but those who were upon the sidewalks involunta- rilv lifted their hats and strong men with tear* streaming from their eyos as they saw that sal­ low, emaciated face prayed "God save our President." The wagon was slowly drawn to the Sixth street depot, ten policemen march­ ing on each side. A detad of ar- tillervmen helped to back the wagon to the door of the car, and the cot was jolted somewhat. The President was lifted on the mattress and placed on the bed erected in the car. As soon as Mrs. Garfield began to fan him the signal was given for departure, the train moving off at 6:30. Tlie surgeons found a decreaeo of five beats in the pulse. A pilot engine ran a few min­ utes ahead of the Presidential train. Peo­ ple throughout the region traversed main­ tained absolute quiet. Long Branch was reached at 1:10 p. m., and the patient was qui­ etly transferred to the Francklyn cottage, where a squad of thirty artillerymen are on guard. The evening bulletin, announcing a rise in the pulse to 124, caused some apprehen­ sions. Secretary Blaine, in a cablegram to Minister Morton, reported the President sleeping quietly and his fever abating, and stated that the surgeons regard his symptom* as a necessary result of hi* journey. Loho Brakch, Sept. S. With the disadvantage of having to endure one of the hottest days of the season, it js dot surprising that the President has madfe'slotf* progress during the last twenty-four hours. Yesterday the thermometer was 94 degifee» ip the shade, and the patient was fanned near* ly all day by five attendante. His pulse ranged from 106 to 104 throughout the day. This morning th e fever has entirely subsided, the patient's temperature is only a little above tbe normal, and he is resting quietly. Ho has partaken of the usual amount of food. Enemata were also, administered. Dr. Hamilton said last evening that, notwithstanding the exceedingly hot weather, the President's case looked "exceed­ ingly favorable." Dr. Bliss said: "The President is better in more ways than one. The wound and gland are both doing well, and the only troublesome feature is the extreme weakness of the patient.Dr. Rey­ burn said that, while the President had not gained a great deal of ground yesterday, be had certainly held his own, and that he "had entirely recovered from the effects of his journey, The patient rallied from the fatigue consequent 011 nis journey more readily than .was anticipated, Drs. Reyburn, Barnes and Woodward have withdrawn from the corps of at­ tending surgeon?, in obedience to the expressed wish of the President, who beheves that a fewer number of physicians can manage his case as well as the "number heretofore em­ ployed. Mrs. Garfield conveycd her husband's wishes to the surgeons named, and they had no hesitation in complying with his wish. The other physicians express regret that gentlemen to whose professional capacity they have un­ bounded' confidence, and whose friendship they value, should have to withdraw at this junc­ ture, but it was deemed best that the patient's wishes should be complied! with. Loho Bkakch, Sept. 9. A change in the wound yesterday, followed by a lower temperature, caused a marked change for the better in the condition of the suffering President At noon yesterday his pulse stood at 94, and at the evening dressing 100. Ho took a liberal amount of both liquid and solid food, including the greater part of a broiled partridge. Dr. Bliss said yesterday that t!;e great change for tlio bettor in the patients condition indicates convalescence'. The gland and wound, he said, were both doing well. The discharge from the gland was quite sufficient, and from the wound was more free and of a better character. . The wound looked much healthier, and the color was much better 111 every respect. Dr. Bliss stated in a quite jubi­ lant manner that the President would yet be able to communicate to Congress. The services of Mrs. Pr. Edson have been dispensed with, and fcix persona! friends of the President will gunrd bim day ana night. The vigorous de­ mand of the patient that a reel ming-cli air should bo forwarded from the White'House caused an ord*r to be telegraphed to that effect Lono Bbanch, Sept. 10. Yesterday was probably the most favorable day which the President has passed since he was suot. He ate a very good dinner, slept well, and gained strength. Mrs. Garfield and tbo physician* feel highly encouraged. Tlie favorable symptoms must continue from two to four weeks, however, btlora tbe patient can be' pronounced convalescent. Neither stimulants nor enemata have been ad­ ministered since Thursday morning, and the food given is eaten with a reluh. Four of the incisions in the parotid gland have entirely healed, but the mucus matter gathers in tbe throat sufficiently to cause frequent expectoration. The wound in­ flicted by the assassin will hasdiy permit the passage of a drainage-tube. laid begins to assume a healthy look. Dr. Hamilton discovered the location of the ball yester­ day, and thinks it ean be removed when the patient has grown stronger. In accordance with a request by the President, Attorney Gen­ eral MaeYuagh was admitted to <he sick-room for au interchange of congratulations. Tito sea breeze grew so coo! that tha front windows were closed and a log-fire built. ^ ...allluj-tlwC'V • A Haktfob» «ditor sags that staffed shark is good eating.

WsnrStJ by omlawt SearGlenlaic, IHo., and tbe Pa.meager* Relieved •f nteir Valnablei, Kansas Crrv, Mo., Sept 8. Last evening, shortly after 9 o'clock, the nooning Chicago and Alton passenger train that left Chicago Tuesday at 12:30 was stopped and robbed by a band of robbers three miles east of Independence and fourteen east of Kansas Cify. The train was flagged and then< ten or twelve men entered the cars and robbed; the express-car, baggage-master, conductor,. Pullman conductor and all the passengers, ex­ cept m the rear car. The ladies in the sleeping-car, some fifteen in number, were relieved of diamond earrings, rings, watches and money Thev got about $2,500 from the passengers, and ft is thought about the same amount from the express safe. The express messenger, H. A. Fox, was terribly beaten over the head with a revolver, and at last gave up the keys to the safe, and the rob­ bers took all the contents. When they en­ tered the Pullman car, five in number, all were masked, and while one held an . open bag or pillow-case, each person was relieved of hia or her valuables, which wore thrown indis­ criminately into the bag. The car conductor, J. J. Price, lost his watch and chain and •100. J. M. Hazelbacher, the train conductor, ran through the train, alarming alt passengers, and telling them that the robbers were on board, and then ran back and flagged a freight-train, running very close. He then came back to the train, and was at once searched, but had thrown his watch into tho ladies' closet, and so they got nothing. One of the robbers poked a revolver into his face, and said, " That is the pistol tnat killed Westfall, on the Rock Island road, and it will kill you if you stir." The same man said he was Jesse James, and that they robbed the Alton train because it had joined with the Rock Maad and others to capture the outfit. He also said they would burn the cars and bridges if an organized pursuit was made. Another man in the gang also said he was Jesse James, and, after robbing the engineer, Choke Foot®, gave him back" $2 and told him, when he reached Kansas City, to go and get a drink and quit railroading out in this section, or he would be killed the next time. The rob­ bers talked all the time and all wore white masks. Some had hats on, and some had not but all wore long dusters. They were armed with shotguns, old-fashioned blunderbusses and pistols, and had on high-top boots and farmers' clothes. The pla«a where the robbery took place is in a deep cut, near where the Missouri Pacific trade crosses it, and the country is hilly and well wooded, and just suitablb for such a rob­ bery. It is only a few miles from Glendale,. where the Alton train was robbed in 1879, by Jesse James and gang, when they secured* •16,000. As soon as the robbers had gone through all the passengers, they told the engineer to pull out, and said: "Good night. This la­ the last of the James boys' gang." T. F. or Frank Burton, the brakeman, iy»di the following statement of teie robbery: He said: " I was standing on the front platform, of the sleeper when the train stopped, and 1 heard voices and oaths on the back platform. I Baid, in a moment: < We are going to be robbed.' Then one of the robbers cried out- 'We are coming in and going through yon alL' "I remembered that the freight train was just behind us, and I heard it coming up. I jumped off and ran with my lantern down the track. They commenced shooting at me. The bullets whistled all around me and struck the rails and stones. They must have fired twenty-fivo shots. Tlie engineer said: «For God's sake don't shoot the boy. He is saving the lives these people.' Then one of them threw up his arms and cried: • Stop shooting!' I rolled into the cut and waved my lantern. . " The freight train was stopped only % car- length off. When I came back tho robbers said: 'Have you lost anytning?' I answered; 'Fifty cents.' He said: 'Show me the and I will kill him.' He gave me • 1.50 for in­ terest Then I heard one of the robbers say to the engineer: ' Choppy Foote, you are too- good a man: to keep up this business. Here"*- •4 to buy a drink in toe morning, and to dm*k: ItTor Jesse James.' "I warn yon you'll be killed jf you don't leave this road. We are going to tear up and bust the Alton and Rock Island roads, for they've* been offering rewards for us. We've no grudge •gainst the Pullmans, and we'll switch off their cars and burn tbe rest I am tbe man who killed Westlake at' Winston. He was too smart, and drew a re­ volver." Burton did not believe it was Jesse- James, or any of his gang. They all acted green at the business, and be thoifglit they were men lining in the vicinity. They made no attempt to disguise their voices. •1 1 1 One Wajr tf Doing It' If we may believe the Railroad Oa~ Mette, they have queer ways in Switzer­ land in regard to dividends. That journal remarks : Jf the method which the United States railways have adopted for paying dividends be objected to a& entirely foreign to all cash methods for doing business, it really can not raise a sudden fear that the companies will soon exhaust their ability to pay. Pre­ ferred shareholders get their regttlar 3 per cent, in cash, but the holders of original shares are compensated in a- much less commonplace manner. When the general meetings are annually held, it is calmly decreed that they lie allowed to travel for three full days through the Cantons of Zurioh, St. Gall and Orisons, at the expense of nobody except the roads, these free rides to be accepted as dividends. Much is made of this priv­ ilege by the helpless shareholders, for whole crowds of them turn out for the cratuitous excursions. . THE MARKETS. m I XEW YORK.
