Was Exploded.
,AN EXCITING ENCOUNTER
OT. LOUIM, Mo.. November 1L-A Special
to the Republio from Sedaa Mo., says:
fte banot-10esd aA dynapite-shatter6d
ears and coaches of the Missouri, Kansas
nd Texas passenger train, which was
eM up and robbed at Blacsten, L T.,
3ast night arrived In this city.
W. W. Glover, who was in oharge of the
mail car, sod that no sooner had the train
stopped then the robbers opened a regular
tmillade. Going to the express ear the
leader domarded admittance of Messenger
Tyon.
"Instead of opening up," Glover con
tinued, "the occupants of the car fired a
number of shots from the Inside. Con
vinced that resistance was to be deter
mined, the bandits began exploding sticks
of dynamite, but no damage was done.
Leaving the express car temporarily, the
cut-throats fired possibly 200 shots Into
the coach, and that one or more passen
gers were not killed or wounded Is a mira
cle.
"*The bandits then turned their attention
to the passengers. A young man of twen
ty-three or twenty-four years of 1,wear
Ing a white slouch, a false beard and a
brown coat, acted as leader and entered
the smoking car, while the remainder of
the gang stood oustide standing guard.
The leader carried a sack for the recep
tion of valuables, and it was given to a
passenger to hold while the work of 'hold
ing up' was going on. From passenger to
passenger they proceeded, and money,
watches and other valuables were handed
over with rapidity."
Col. Leslie Markaduke Sweet Springs,
Mo., who was one of the passengers in
the Wagner sleeper "Juntata," said there
was only one robber In sight, and he a,
peared eo be greatly excited. "He took my
gold watch and then leaving our car step
ped into the second parlor car and went
through it."
There were more passengets In It than
in ours, and the robber got $70W in cash
and a number of gold watches.
C. B. Lyon. the American Express Com
pany's messenger. who, with Guards
Lebetter, Peyton and Rodger Johnson,
held the fort against the bandits and
would not surrender the treasure in his
care, said: "We refused to open the door
when called upon to do so, and endeavored
to return shot for shot. About thirty were
died. The outfit finally left In disgust, and
paid their attention to the passengers.
After the successful defense of the express
car Lebetter made a charge upon the re
trcating robbers. He pumped two Win
chesters-dry. I do not know certainly,
but I have good reason for believing the
guard was shot by Lebetter just as they
had completed their work."

TWELVE TO REMAIN.
No Likelifoed of an Immediate
Change In the Natienal League.
NEW YORK, November 15.-A majority
of the base ball magnalei were present in
the Fifth Avenue Hotel today, when the
convention of the National League reas
sembled in Parlor F. Prior to the mEeting
George Rucbstuhl of the Loulsvilles ex
pressed the belief that an arrangement
would be reached today without much fur
ther discussion on the subject of division
of receipts.
If the constitution copid be so amended
it is believed 'an eight-club circuit would
very soon take the place of the present
twelve-club arrangement, or, if not that,
eight clubs would be glad to buy their
franchises.
It is practically acknowledged today that
all probability of a change is at present
at an end, as far as the number of clubs
is concerned. The only clubs that might
sell their franchises will not dispose of
them for what would be considered a rea
sorable sum. Should the eastern elbs buy
four of them out it would cost $200,000,
and such a sum Is far beyond what those
mot in faiyor of the project would fnk of
giving.
The scheme of forming two circuits-an
eastern and a western-to play separate
schedules, and then conclude the series by
eastern and western games, and vice versa,
while it may eventually come to some
thing, does not appear today to have even
the most remote chance of adoption.
The convention on resuming business at
once took up the discussion of the dis
posal of the gate receipts, which will oc
cupy the undivided attention- of the
nates until late in the day.
The minor leagues, which are in
session today, will have some sug tions
to make which will either make fusion
worse confounded, or will perhaps ovide
some solution of the very tangled q tion
with which the magnates are now p g
their brains.
Patrick Powers, president of the Easte
League, said: "Our meeting will be a ve
Important one, and we will perhaps I
in some light on all this business whi
will be of a rather surprising nature. s
to the formation of a new American o
elation, you can dismiss that. There as
been an attempt made to take Bu ala
from the Eastern League. Now, B alb
will not join the new association sho d it
be formed, nor will It buy a franc in
the National League, should that pos
sible. Buffalo is making money, a d it
would want to have a team in the rat
night In the National League to a d
losing a lot of money. I have some co
munications I cannot now produce, bu
when I do they will create a big Sensa
tion..
The Ten Per Cent Assessment.
The convention, after a long n.
agreed, by a vote of 7 to Sk to abo the
1%) per cent assessment to In
future, Instead of the 10 per cent assess
ment, the salaries of the ofilcials will be
met by pro rata payments from, each club.

TRANSPORTING THE MAILS
What It osts to 0Wfry Unle Sam's
Utnistar New Methods and Among
Them the EleetMe Lines
Mr. Stones Report.
Owing to the Illness of Second Assistant
Postmaster General Neilson. the report of
his oglce is made by George F. Stone. who
is acting in his stead. In his report Mr.
Stone deals with that branch of the postal
service which looks after mail transpor
tation. For the star service it is shown
that there are 19,75 routes, with an ag
gregate length of 251.587 miles, and the
total of miles traveled ti 113,570,38, at an
expense of $5,846855; estimate for. next
year, 5,875,000, The decrease In the es
timate is due to the reletting of many con
tracts.
The steamboat service covers 12? routes,
11,054 miles long. with a total travel of
8,876,867 miles, costing $40?,125; estimate
for next year $42000,
Mail messenger service cost $1,197,k and
the estimate for next year $1,275,000.
Railroad transportation of mail f the
most important of all. There are 2.006
routes, with.an aggregate length of 10.768,
an inrrease of 77 routes and 2,816 miles.
The appropriation for the last fiscal year
was $24,500,000. which, with the,sum of
$1,269,000 appropriated by the deficiency
act, approved August 23, 1894, made a to
tal amount of $25,7,000 available for rail
road transportation for that year. The
sum expended to September 30, 1894, is
$25,651,567.26.
The amount reported by the auditor as
withhold from the Pacific railroads is $1,
38,795.54. The amount estimated as neces
sary for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1800, Is $27,500,000, being $2,000,000 more
than the appropriation for the current fis
cal year.
The report says the electric car line i
becoming each year a more important fac
tor in mail transportation. Service is now
in operation on forty-seven such lines at
the rates tixed by law for the carriage of
mails on steam roads.
The routes thus far established are com
paratively short, the longest being eigh
teen miles in length.
They are principally employed for the
supply of subarban towns, and naturally
give a much more expeditious and satis
factory service than could be a-quired
by the use of star or mail messenger ser
vice.
The report conAinues: "Consideration Is
now being given to the feasibility of utiliz
ing electric and other rapid motor street
car lines to facilitate the transportation of
mails in the important cities between the
main post offles and branch offices, and
to and from the railway stations. A plan
of this kind would probably include the
running of a special car over the several
street lines for the exclusive use of the
mail service, not only for carrying locked
pouches, but In which a certain amount of
distribution would be possible. Of course
such an arrangement could be effected
only by the hearty co-operation of the
street-car rcmpanles with the deoartment
for the improvement of the service. This
office hopes to accomplish some substantial
results In the direction indicated within the
next year."
The co-4t of railway mail post office cars
was $3,212,356, and the estimates for next
year, $3,205,000. Railway post office clerks
cost 36,818,194, and the estimate for next
year Is $7,48=,040. The total number of
pieces of mail handled was 10.534,234.255
in which but 1.281,004 errors were made.
The foreign mail service cost $1,231,362;
estimates for next year, $1,919,400.
TUE FIREMEN'S PETITION.
It Has Thirty-Five Thoumand Xases
Attaehed to It.
The petition addressed to Congress and
praying that the pay of the officers and
men of the District of Columbia fire depart
ment be Increased 25 per cent is now In
readiness to be presented to the national
legislature immediately upon Its reassemb
ling. Thirty-five thousand names were
signed to the paper during Its circulation.
embracing the names of every man in
Washington In active commercial life. The
signatures, Indeed, form an excellent bus
iness directory of the District. Bankers,
builders, capitalists, real estate agents,
merchants in all classes of trade, and, In a
word, every one having the best interests
of the community at heart willingly joined
in the request to Congress, and In very
many instances promised to exert them
selves in behalf of the measure that wil
be proposed in the House to carry out the
provisions of the petition.
In addition to the individual approval of
the mass of Washingtonians, the 'sarious
trades unions have heartily Indorsed the
object, and Secretary Wight of the board of
trade sent Chief Parris this morning a let
ter, informing him of the offcial action
taken by the board in behalf of the in
crease.
It is proposed by the chief and his excel
lent force to use every honorable effort in
bhalfs of prevailing upon Congress to grant
the petition, and scores of citizens have
volunteered to talk with Congressmen of
their acquaintance and familiarize them
with the worth and necessity of favorable
action. These gentlemen have had It mug-'
gested to them that It would, be wise to be
gin the good work at once and place mem
bers of Congress In possession of the facts
regarding the present condition of the fire
department and the unequal battle it is
compelled to wage ~every time an emer
gency Is thrust upon It. Consequently It Is
requested by Chief Parris and his associ
#tes that all persons who favor the justice
asked for In the petition being granted will
acquaint Congressmen, upon their arrival
here to attend the coming session, with
the merits and necessities of the case, and
show them the advisability of supporting
a measure that will meet them. Such a
course, generally followed, will be, it Is
said, productive of excellent results, as the
Congressmen could be educated upon the
subject before the heavy rush of business
of the session began, and be ready to act
Intelligently when the subjet is brought up
for action.
PERILS OF THE TitOLLEY.'
Manholes Blown Up ead Several Per
ns Imjared.
The Brooklyn trolley took a new taek
yesterday, ard while it ,.pared human life
this time, it caused explosions, tore up
pavements, smashed windows,tossed a man
ten feet in air, made horses run away and
furnished a fine pyrotechnic display, be
sides scaring a whole lot of people and
calling out police reserves.
One of the live trolley wires of the Grand
Street and Calvary Cemetery raillroad
broke about twenty-fivo feet east of Bed
ford aventie, on Grand street. The end of
the live wire which fell to the street twist

steam and smoke curled Into the air.
The damp carth and st nes absorbed the
whole power of the electric current and
there were explosions from three manholes.
It is surnused that gas from a defective
main leaked into the electric light conduit
and the voltage from the broken wire, con
veyed thr.ugh the wet ground, touched the
gas off.
On Grind street, about twenty feet from
a manhole, John Haslor, n ho was driving
a wagon for Grocer F. Begemian, was foundl
lying face down in the street. He was4
stunned. The horse he had been driving
broke lo,ose from the shafts and ran nearly
two blocks before it was caught.
Two other men were thrown out of a
light wagon near the corner of Bedford
avenue and South 1st street. They were
only slightly bruised. and, after assisting
their hcrre to rise, they drove away. Has

Many persons who saw the street a few

NO NEW SMALLPOX CASES
The Headth Oe Has No Knowledge of
Even a suspect.
Authorities In Other Cities Have Bees
Notiled to geen Their Guard
Against CoStagion.
There were' no new smallpox cases re
ported to the health office today. -nor was
there even a case in which a patient was
suspected of having the disease. Two
daughters of Mr. Williams of East Capitol
street have the smallpox, and one of them
is said to be very sick. The youngest child
has a light case of varioloid and was sick
before she left school. Mr. Williams ar
rived hone from Georgia last evening and
went at once to the health office, where
he had an intervie* with Health Officer
Woodward. While in Georgia he went to
Gainesville, Nacochee and Winder, and the
offietals of these places have been notified
by the Marine Hospital offleers. They also
sent word to the health officials of Augus
ta, as Miss Ella McLaughlin, who was
visiting the Williams family, started for
that city when it was known that the
young ladIes had the smallpox. Under the
laws of the state of Georgia Miss Mo
Laughlin may be detained near the out
skirts of the city for about two weeks.
It turns out that Mr. Williams was sick
eight days, part of the* time being sick
enough to remain in bed. He was taken
sick about two weeks after his exposure
to Mr. Coston, and his daughters were
taken about two weeks after their ex
pbsure at the time their father left his
0oom.
A watchman has been employed for duty
on East Capitol street near the Williams
house. Under the law everything in the
house is regarded as infected and nothing
is permitted to be brought out. There is no
trouble, however, in sending supplies to
the house.
The watchman near the Drayer house on
2d street northeast is still on duty, and he
t&kes the same precautions against the
possibility of spreading the disease as are
being taken at the Williams house.
Mrs. Pemberton, the volunteer nurse at
thb smallpox hospital, who took the
disease, Is seriously ill, and It Is feared
that she will not recover. The other pa
tients are doing well, and some more of
them will probably be discharged In a few
days.
The case of smallpox or chicken pox re
ported to Supervising Principal B. T. Jan
ney of the public schools in Georgetown,
ai existing at the home of Mrs. Goodwin,
2808 P street, appears to have been im
properly located. House 28 P street is
vacant and has been since September, when
Mrs. Elise Goodwin moved out of it to sLu
0 street, adjoining Christ Church.
Mr. Winfield S. Chase, from whose house
Mary Washington was taken, desires to
correct the statement that he was at his
uleak in the patent office on Tuesday, No
vember 13. He states that he has not been
there since Saturday noon, when he took
leave of absence for the afternoon, and
did not know until the evening of that
day that anything was the matter with
his servant. Mr. Chase and family are
well this morning.
A Simple Remedy for Smallpox.
"I am willing to risk my reputation as a
public man." wrote Edward mine to the
Liverpool Mercury. "if the worst case of
smallpox cannot be cured in three days
by the use of cream of tartar. One ounce
of cream of tartar dissolved In a pint of
water (hot), drank at intervals when cold.
Is a never failing remedy. It has cured
thousands. Never leaves a mark; never
causes blindness, and avoids tedious lin
gering."
DISTRICT GOVERNMI9NT.
Sewers Ordered.
The Commimoners today ordered:
That a sewer in K street between 4th
and 6th streets northwest be added to the
provisional schedule of sewers to be built
during the nscal year 1M.
That sewers be laid in Half street be
tween M and N streets southwest and in
alleys of square tftU, one-half the expense
to be asessed against abutting lots.
Using False MeasUres.
Relative to the communication of W. T.
Carter of No. l'L Duncan street northeast
as to whether additional legislation is
necessary in order to convict hucksters
and others mling by false measure. Mr.
A. T. Thomas, in an opinion rendered to
the Cnmmioners today, holds that no
additional legislation is necessary. In his
opinion he says: "Mr. Carter should go to
the Police Court and get out a warrant
and prosecute the dealer or huckster who
mild hism potatoes by false measure. The
only way to punish dealers and hucksters
who mul by false weights and measures
is to prosecute them before the Police
Court. If Mr. Carter will get out a war
rant for the dealer in question and sum
mon the sealer of weights and measures
as a witness I have no doubt he will be
able to convict the huckster.'
Fire Aiaeras Needed at Brightweed.
Claude F. King, secretary pro temn. of
the Brightwood Avenue Citizens' Associa
tion, has written to the Comminsines
calling attention to the absence of fire
alarm boxes on Brightwood avenue and
vicinity and requesting that a suitable
number of boxes be provided for public
convenience, In his letter to the Coin
missioners today he says: "1 know of no
box north of Florida avenue, and while we
have had no means of calling the fire de
partment. except by making a run of a
mile or more to turn in an alarm. A short
while ago a large barn near my residence
burned. On arriving at the fire I noted
the firs, and exactly fifty minutes after
ward the fire department was represented
at the fire. I should not add that by this
stime the building had burned to the
ground. Fortunately the wind blew the
flames and sparks away from some dwell
ing houses nearby, otherwise there would
have been a serious conflagration and sev
eral thousands of dollars sacrificed. This
is a matter of very great importance to
the citizens whom this association repre
sents, and it is hoped If there is any way
by which you can supply the necessary
fire alarm service you will do so at the
earliest possible moment."
Not Recomamiendedl.
Relative to the request of Jno. S. Lar
combe of 808 17th street northwest that a
sewer be constructed in square 38, George
town, under the assessment system, Health
Officer Woodward, in his report to the Com
missioners upon the matter, says:
"I am unable to certify. in advance of the
completion and occupancy of the stables in
this alley, that the construction of the
sewer referred to is necessary for the public
health, safety or comfort, or to recommend
its construction under the assessment sys
tom."

tiMa -of Regret.
At 10 o'clook today the remains of Mr.
Tho. B. Entwisle were borne from his

The services over the remains were ex
ceedingly impressive. High mass was cel
ebrated by Rev. Fathers Scanlan, Rocoe
fort and Mackin. The work of the choir
was grand, appropriate music, swellin
through the big church, to the bowel
heads of a tepresentative throng of mourn
era. There were present all who could be
spared from the District offices, together
with the highest officials. All the leading
builders of the city were there, and men
of social and wtecutive rank. The de
oeased had held a high place in the esti
Mation of al and all turned out to pay
their last respects to the dead offictal. The
words of the officiating speaker were not
highly inflated with empty, cold flattery.
They were.simple, came direct from the
heart and were earnestly eulogistic. As
the casket was borne out of the church
a soloist of the ohoir sang "Nearer, My
God, to Thee."
BuilUag Exhangoe.
At a meeting of the Builders' Exchange,
held last night, President Norwood in the
chair, feeling remarks were made in re
gard to the character and ability of the
late Building Inspector Entwisle and a
committse, consisting of Thos. J.King,
Thom. Stephenson and John R. Galloway,
was appointed to draft suitable resolu
tions of respect to his memory. There was
no committee appointed to attend the fu
neral, but it was uriderstood that there
would be a large individual representation
of the exchange that would be present.

One of the principal questions discwssed
regards the memnership of persons of non
colonial states. This question has :recently
caused considerable agitation in the so
ciety, and has been liberally discussed at
state meetings. It has been suggested by
the Maryland society, as a compromise,
that adjunct societies be formed to hold
allegiance and pay dues to the state so
ciety from which they spring. The meM
bers were lunched today at the Washington
Club, and It is probable will adjourn after
the late session Iis afternoon.

The demand for stocks in the loan crowd
reflects the presenoe of a large short
tet, which Is likely to furnish u iest
contive to higher prices later in the wOOk.
Published reports of rairo&4 ea n s were
not favorable, and the prospects for 3m
mediate Improvement in these Items are
not encouraging. The pootponemsent of ,ac
tion or. the Burlington dividend ,oocasiaed
no surprise, as the president of the esm
pony is absent in the west, and will not ar
rive In Boston until early next week. It is
probable that the usual quarterly dividond
will be declared within the next te days.
The directors of the National Lead Com
pany declared the usual dividend of 1 3-4
per cent on the preferred, and 1 per cent
on the common stock of that coany.
The dividend an Northwest will be ste"
on at an early date. and sentment 16 di
vided as to the result.
The Grangers wore marked up from 14
to 1-2 per cent on k limited volume of bus

added 1-2 per cent to Western Unias
value
Manhattan was sold down by a prominent
operator, and the usual board-room follow
ing, for a los of 1 per cent, all of which
was recovered on an effort to buy back the
stock later In the day. Reading securities
were all weak under the leadership of the
same pe4simitic element.
Sugar was active and otratic as the re

earlb trading the pnce was marked up
2 3-8 pet cent to 90 3-8, but yielded to the
selling attracted by the vement for

with the recent defeat of such an efft.

The market for foreign exchange opee
steady on a limited volume of business.
There was no significant Increase In the
offerings of aommercial bills, and the In
quiry from remitters was somewhat im
proved. The recent light trading in Inter
national securities makes the arbitre
business of little importance as a facter in
exchange rates. The last hour's treag
was dull and Inclined to weakness.
Sugar was the only active feature of the
final trading. seling down to first prices
on a renewal of short selling by the pro

Is still a disturbing element in specula

deprived of' its leadership. Final figures
