MAKE THEIR ESCAPE, After Securing its Valuable Contents --The Bold Plan. SUSPECT CAPTURED. Officers Close on the Track of the Daring Burglars. DALLAS, Texas, Feb. boldest train robbery commit ted took pUee at the edge of this city at 7 o'clock last evening.

Fifteen thoroughly armed men held up the Houston and Texas Central express at the Missouri, Kansas and Texas crossing. The engineer and fireman were made to leave the engine; then the robbers cut loose the express and baggage cars, placed men on the engine, pulled the throttle wide open and ran northward, leaving the body of the train on the track. Just before starting away with the express ear the robbers compelled Engineer Tom Averett to get into the cab. He was then made to run out to a point near White Hock creek bottoms, about five miles' north of the Dallas union depot. There they stopped and compelled the express messenger to open the express car and admit them.

The messenger, confronted with six-shoeters, opened the safe and the robbers plundered it. They tore up a large number of packages. After they had finished with the express car they shot out the headlight and other illuminations, leaving the engine and express car in total darkness except the light furnished from the fire box. They told the engineer to back to his train as soon as he pleased. The robbers then scattered to the timber of White Kock Creek bottoms where, it is presumed they had horses and comrades in waiting.

Railroad and express officials and em- ployes declare that the robbers found no money, but the belief is general that a large sum was secured. In running back to the balance of his train Engineer Averett had no lights or signals to guide him and lie crashed into the cars on reaching them, smashing several sets of bumpers. The passengers had hidden their effects under and about the seats. Facts of the robbery were telephoned into police headquarters by the fireman, who had to walk some distance to reach a telephone. Chief of Police Arnold and Sheriff Cabell, with ten mounted oflicers, armed with Winchesters, started in pursuit from police headquarters.

The robbers had nearly two hours start of the pursuing posse from Dallas before the latter reached the scene of the hold-up and plundering. Notices have been sent to all towns to be on the outlook, and large numbers of men have been placed on all roads leading from Dallas and in the White Rock creek bottom, in the surrounding country, with the hope of intercepting the robbers. The police, railroad and express authorities have no idea as to the identity of the bandits, but they are believed to be a new gang organized since the annihilation of the Dalton and Cook gangs. On the train was a party of ladies returning from the Moody meeting being held there. They all went to praying, one of them leading with "Oh, Lord, Thou who rescued Daniel from the lions' den, deliver us, we beseech Thee, from the hands of these bandits." The police late last night Joe Mills at a variety theatre as one of the suspected robbers.

He had requested a saloon-keeper to change a f20 gold piece before entering the saying he did not care to drink. When searched $219 in gold was found upon his person. He gave his address as Tennessee. Detectives are looking for the men who were with him before he entered the theatre. AT A BALL.

King walked with the officer to the patrol box a block away and just as policeman attempted to unlock the box Klug embraced the oppDrtunity and started to run away. He jerked from the officer's grasp and fled. As soon as the key was removed from the lock Cooling, who is quite a sprinter, took after Klug. Several shots were fired in the air but they did not frighten Klug as he has been in imilar positions on many other cessions. After a chase of six blocks Cooling recaptured "Chippy" and anded him in ti cell after a hard Struggle.

STRUCK A HOG. The Coesse "Wax Mine" is Looked Upon as a Joke. The Columbia City Post says: There a good deal of "mineral wax" talk and around Coesse since the "mine" was discovered. We understand that he wax bed is now located under John Kane's farm, and that it is four 'eet thick. John McCoy contends that samples of wax that the Fort Wayne chemist analyzed were taken 'roin the ground at a place where he buried a large fat hog eighteen years ago.

Whether the wax is the result of the transformation of the hog, or is a deposit of some other character, he is not prepared to say. But from the talk. Coesse is destined to become noted tho world over for its "wax mines." WM. LWILSON Mr. Cleveland at Last Finds a Place for Him.

MR. BISSELL RESIGNS And Wilson is Nominated for His Office To-day. WASHINGTON GOSSIP The Day's Proceedings in the Senate --Talk Finance. WASHINGTON, Feb. lesign- atiou of Postmaster General Bissell, to take effect in April, has been placed in the hands of the president.

This announcement is an official confirmation of the report published long ago, and recently denied by Mr. Bissell himself, that he would retire from the cabinet about the end of the present congress. The reason assigned by Mr. Bissell in ihe interview with himself which he has furnished to the press is undoubtedly correct, so far as it declares that he does not retire because of any disagreement with the president upon any subject. But it falls far shon of stating the exact reasons.

WASHINGTON, Feb. president to-day nominated Wm. L. Wilson to be postmaster general. WAMIIXGTOX, Feb.

first knowledge of his nomination being sent to the senate to-day as postmaster general, was communicated by Mr. Henry Talbott, the clerk of the ways and means committee. To a United Press reporter Mr. Wilson stated that a tender to the post- office portfolio had been made to him by President Cleveland Monday last. On the following day he formally notified the president of his acceptance and was told that his nomination would be made to-day.

He dops not expect to qualify until the 1st of April. Mr. Faulkner, of West Virginia, will move, just before recess, that the senate go into executive session, and will ask the nomination be at once acted upon. WASHINGTON, Feb. general deficiency bill was reported in the ienate to-day with amendments from the committee on appropriations, and placed on the calendar.

Among the idditions to the bill is an amendment authorizing the postmaster general to refund to Volley P. Hart, postmaster at Sedalia, $9,000 lost by the fail- ire of the First National Bank of that At 11:20 the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill was resumed. An act appropriating $300,000 for seed to be distributed to the people nhabiting the arid region, whose crops were destroyed by drouth last summer, was agreed to--yeas 32, nays 17. The amendment appropriating $125,000 in aid of the Nashville exposition was advocated by Mr. Bate (Dem.

Tenn.) and Mr. Harris (Dem. Tenn.) nd after a point of order by Cockre Dem. Mo.) against it had been voted lown, the amendment was agreed to. Mr.

Carey (Rep. Wyo.) offered an amendment that where lands had mtered under the desert land laws and where more than $1.25 an acre had been held because the lands were on railroad grants, surplus over $1.25 shall be refunded by the land office. Agreed to. Mr. Stewart (Pop.

Nev.) addressed senate on his motion of yesterday reconsider the vote adopting Mr. Wolcott's amendment for a commission to any international conference on bi-metallism. Mr. Wolcott opposed the motion to reconsider, and declared that nothing jut good could come of an international conference if it should be held. As to Mr.

Stewart's objection that the action of the delegates would be final, he said that the delegates could only ict in an advisory capacity. 'In England," Mr. Wolcott con- iinued, "success is almost at hand. In jermany success is practically assured. In France we have hearty co-operation.

And this movement has been brought ibout, not by our enemies, but by our friends, by earnest men who have the solemn conviction that prosperity and civilization can only be advanced by a return to the double standard. In our section of the country we believe America can carry the burden alone; jut shall we, for that reason, reject the advance of other countries? We are for American bimetalism if we jet it. But if we fail to reach the ex- uCit nduuS Oi otliei uouimieb when tendered to us, we will deserve to received the eternal odium which should vttach to us for having failed to em jrace the greatest opportunity that has )een seen since silver was stricken down," (applause in the galleries). Mr. Stewart closed the discussion: 'If we are to have a conference," he said, "let us have it with friends.

Any agreement in which Germany and England concur would be practically end of silver." The vote was taken and the motion to reconsider was defeated; yeas 9, nays 52. So the Wolcott amendment remains in the bill. The senators who voted to reconsider were Messrs. Allen, Blackburn, Call, Cockrell, Kyle, Martin, Peffer, and Stewart. position it so long held in th monetary system of our countr and unqualifiedly delclare favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold, with full legal ten der power, at a ratio of 1C to 1, am we invite every patriotic citizen Michigan, regardless of previous part) affiliations, to join us in an imperative demand for immediate legislation to that end, regardless of the position of any other nation with respect Justice McGrath, of the supreme court, will undoubtedly be renomi nated.

SAGINAW, Feb. prospects this morning ore that there will not be a full attendance of delegates at the democratic state conven- ion, which meets here to-day to nominate a justice of the supreme court and two regents of the university. Up to 10 o'clock only about half of the delegates had reached the city. There promises to be a bitter fight on the question of silver.

The administration delegates are here in full force. The silver men held a conference morning. It was decided to go before the convention and demand the adoption of the follow short, concise and up to the point platform: "The democratic party conven- ion assembled hails with delight the rapidly increasing sentiment in favor of the restoration of silver to the FLOATING ICE. The Usual Spring Flood Certain Rain Falls. ICE GORGES FEARED.

Floating Cakes Over Twenty Inches Thick, and Solid. AN ICE DAM IN OHIO. St. Joseph River Ice Still Unbroken-A Dangerous Cave. The ice in the Maumee is gorged at Bar Point, 0., and should a heavy rain set in a flood is certain.

The ice is thick and solid, and not weak or rotten, as reported. In this vicinity the ice is floating slowly and gradually down stream and is thoroughly broken up. it is about twenty inches thick and as solid as a rock. No gorges have been reported in the Maumee in Indiana, and it is probable that the iisual spring flood will not le experienced this year, as there has not been rain sufficient to swell the streams, although a slight rise is reported. A DANGEROUS CAVE.

This morning the police found a large cave along the banks of the St. Mary's river near the gravel pit, west of This Crtve was excavated by tramps during the winter and since deserted by the shabby vagrants, boys have made a play house of it. The recent thaw has made the walls of the cave unsafe and is liable at any moment to succumb to the thaw and bury a lot of boys alive. The police have sent orders to boys to desert the cave. It will be destroyed in a few days so as to avoid a serious accident.

TROUBLE ON THE ST. JOE. The ice in the St. Joe river north of the city has not broken and it is from twenty to eighteen inches thick and trouble is feared if a rain storm should occur. The rush of this vast volume of ice would certainly do much harm.

MAYOR P1NGREE IS ANORV. Passage of the Detroit Health Board Bill Drives Him Into Print. DETROIT, Feb. signing by Gov. Kich yesterday of the new Detroit health board bill, which takes that board out of the hands of Mayor Pingree, was made the occasion of a violent attack by the latter on the governoryesterday afternoon.

On learning that the bill had been signed the mayor went into a rage and bitterly denounced everyone who assisted its passage. Then he retired to his private office, and with the assistance of his secretary prepared a statement for his bulletin board. As posted it read: THE CITY DISGRACED. Governor Rich signs the iniquitous Thompson bill, taking away the right of self-government from Detroit. Senator McMillan's orders to go back to corporation rule prevail.

Nothing has. equaled this since the dark days of rebellion, when the Detroit Free Press ana that arch traitor, Vallandigharo, advocated fire in the rear on the troops fighting for the nation's life. Detroit now to be governed from Lansing by the monopolists who have the governor's ear. A sacred and inherent right lost. Taxation without representation started the war of the revolution.

The whole people of Detroit grossly insulted by this new law. The mayor's statement is laughed at generally, and his reflections on Senator McMillan are severely denounced. GENERAL BOOTH SAILS. Salvation Army Commander a enger on the Paris for Europe. YORK, Feb.

General William Booth, coramander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, bade goodbye to hundreds of his friends yesterday morning, when the American liner, the Paris, steamed away at II o'clock. The pier resembled a huge barracks when a carriage containing General Booth, and his son, Ballington Booth, arrived a few minutes before the vessel sailed. Awaiting him were members of the Salvation Army numbering nearly a thousand men, women and children. AH wore the regulation uniform of the army and carried American Hags, which they waved frantically when the general arrived at the pier. In response to the cheers that greeted him, the general waved his hat and bowed.

Then, going directly to his state-room, he said good-bye to his son and to Mrs. Ballington Booth. As the Paris slowly moved from her berth General Booth, standing under a canopy of American flags, held by four of his lieutenants who sailed with him, bade good-bye to his friends in a few words. A CIGARETTE Causes the Destruction of Valuable Farm Property. A BOY TO BE TRIED Edward Luley Charged With Setting Fire to a Barn.

THE COURT AFFAIRS Interesting Suit in 'Squire France's Court--Legal Notes. To-morrow is the time set for the trial ot Edward Luley in the circui court. Aug. 23, 1803, a straw stack and barn on the farm of Valentine Gephart, a few miles from the city on the St. Joe gravel road, were destroyed by lire.

At the time the farmer tried to recover damages from Edwarc Luley's father, a resident of For) He failed in his attempt to secure a monetary consideration for his loss. In view of this failure ephart has instituted an action in the circuit court alleging that young Luley, a 14-year-old boy, was hunting on the farm with an air gun in August, 1893. While hunting Luley mulici- ously threw a lighted cigarette into a straw stack which was near the barn on Gephart's farm. The straw stack was soon in ablaze and the wind carried ie flames to the barn. In a few minutes the stable with its contents were in ashes.

Gephart is now seeking to recover $825, the approximated value of the straw stack and barn. The complaint alleges that Luley was trespassing on Gephart's farm when he the lighted cigarette into the straw stack. The case with its sensational features will be aired in court WANTED THIKTY DAYS' NOTICE. An unique point of law is being dismissed before 'Squiic France this afternoon. It is whether or not an em- iloyer is required to give notice of dismissal a specified length of time previous to the discharge of an employe.

HOISINGTOX, Feb. vith liquor, John M. Heres, a shoemaker, last evening fatally stabbed his wife, killed his 4-year-old daughter Fannie, and then committed suicide. A shoe knife was used to commit the crime. Heres had a bad temper, but 'esterday he was more than ordinarily vicious, and shortly before 5 o'clock tarted an unprovoked attack upon his vife.

With a small knife used in his hop, he slashed an ugly gash in her hroat and stabbed her repeatedly in he breast. Believing her dead, he next aitacked Fannie, almost severing head from her body, and then with he same instrument slashed his own from ear to ear, dying almost nstantly. The girl is dead and her mother dying. The other children vere absent. DIVORCE REFORM.

Report of the Committee of the National Council of Women. WASHINGTON, Feb. the morning session of the National Council of Women, the report of the committee on the divorce reform, was pre- by its chairman, Mrs. Ellen iattelle Uietrick, of Cambridge, Mass. The report says that in order to study he steps taken by men on the ques- ion of divorce reform, the committee oined the National Divorce Reform league, which is officered and manag- wholly by men.

Continuing, the eport says: The National League has acted visely in not working for a constitu- ional amendment to enforce one uni- "orm rule of divorce for the whole Jnited States. It has acted most visely in securing from congress pro- for the exhaustive "report on marriage and divorce," published by Ion. Carroll D. Wright in 1887, a work vhich should be studied by every lousehold, as it concerns every house- lold directly and indirectly. But the National Divorce Reform Jeague unwisely in procur- ng commissions on uniform law in light states, which cover more than ne-fourth the population of this iountry, not a member yf which commissions are feminine.

In view of the fact that over 68 per of the divorces in the United States during twenty years were grant- 'd to wives on their petition for di- from their husbands, aud that he great majority of these were for lesertion or cruel treatment, your committee submits that something more is needed than to teach girls how to sew and cook, valuable as it believes such nstructions to be. For the reasons herein set forth, committee begs to report the fol- owiug resolutions. Ihwfwl, by the executive board of he national council of women of the Jnited States as divorce is a measure qually concerning both sexes, we hold just that all commissions created to with divorce should be- represented by both.
