GUARDS PLACED ON ALL TRAINS One Suspect.. Captured, Another Shot In Vicinity of Earlliam, Iowa. The patrol which the Rock Island road has had in the vicinity of Earl ham, Iowa, where a supposed plot to hi hi up the road for money ransom for immunity was to have been exe cuted, last evening captured a sus pect, who gives his name as Thomas Murphy, lie gave no explanation of his presence. He was Captured in the woods and was brought to Des Moines. A man shot in the same vicinity by ihe night trackman, and brought to Des Aloines, also, maintains silence. His refusal to say anything leads the Rock Island officials to believe that he was implicated in the plot. A special force of armed men is scouring the country in the vicinity of Earlham. and the whole country in th.-t vicinity is patrolled. The Rock Island is planning to put armed men on all its night trains for the next few days. l'rowllnr About Depot. The man shot was prowling around fhe depot at Earlham, and the track walker saw him and ordered him to ; 111 render. Instead of doiujr so, he ran, and was filled with buckfdyJ.j It :v thought that he will die. Some think he is nothing but a tramp. It now turns out that the three tor pedoes were exploded on the track near Earlham by No. 24, which pre cedes No. 6, from which the $1,000 was to have been thrown according to the demands of the supposed robbers, by half an hour. The bandits evidently overlooked the fact that another tiaiu preceded No. and set their foip;-loes too early. Whether the discovery of this mistake had any thing io do with the failure to carry out further details of the supposed plot is not known. THE STAGE Nov. 11.

They scandalized the stage of the Illinois last" flight. The efforts to mnsjer the Irish brogue were painful, the singing hysterical and the danc ing terrible.
