A REMARKABLE TRAIN.
The ;Cook County Democracy ef Chi
cago Leave for Omaha iu a Train a
Quarter of a Mile Lous.
October i was Chicago Day at
the Trans-Mississippi Exposition
in Omaha, and all of the railroads
ran special trains, carrying dele
gates of the different Chicago or
ganizations attending.
Among those was a special
which left over the Burlington
Route, with the Cook County Dem
ocracy, and it was the longest train
of Pullman cars that ever left
Chicago on a regular run. It con
sisted of seventeen Pullman cars,
one special private car, one baggage
car and two engines.
The train shed at the Union Pas
senger Station, which is the long
est one in Chicago, measures 1,100
feet, but the train measured exact
ly 1.377 feet, or more than a quar
ter of a mile long, and it started off
tor Omaha at 2:30 p. m., scheduled
to run at forty miles an hour. The
weight of this caravan on wheels
was estimated to be 2,290,000 lbs.,
or about 1,145 tons, and the two
engines to pull the train over the
500 miles to Omaha burned 45 tons
of coal and transformed into steam
53,000 gallons of water. Mayor
Harrison and his official stiff oc
cupied the private car.
Serious Cass of Itching and Bleeding:
Piles Cured.
For nearly a year I was afflicted
with itching and bleeding piles, and
was so bad that I could not sit
down without a great deal of pain.
I doctored and used all the different
kinds of pile medicine I could hear
! of, without any benefit. Six months
ago I tried San-Cura Ointment; the
l second application gave me great
relief, and half a bottle cured me
completely. I have had no trouble
since. M. W. Buchanan,

6 MORE MEN ARRESTED
The Gang of Thieves are Being
Rounded Up by Meighen.
MANY UP THE RIVER
People are Connected With the
Job in a Number of Ways.
Erom Friday's Daily
Captain James Meighen, detect
ive for the Ohio River Railroad
company, was in the city today and
in speaking to a Review represen
tative stated that he had about
rounded up the organized band of
thieves which has been pillaging
the freight depots and the cars of
the company during the past three
months, and which have been rob
bing in all the towns along the
river they have passed. ,
Capt Meighen has been working
on the case for the railroad compa
ny and in his work has discovered
where quite a lot of stolen goods
taken from the houses of people a
number of times, have gone. It
seems that auite a number of peo
ple in up-the-river towns are con
nected with the organized gang of
robbers. Yesterday the marshal of
St. Mary's, and Detective' "Jim"
Meiafaen were in Bellaire and Ben
wood looking up certain members
of the gang that has recently been
engaged in thievery on an exten
sive scale in and near the town of
St. Mary's. Charles Loring, a 15
year-old boy, of Benwood, was ar
rested by Meighen and taken to Sf.
Mary's yesterday afternoon.
Young Loring is said to have
confessed to being implicated in
the recent robbery of Wilkinson's
shoe store in Bellaire, as well as in
the theft of goods from the freight
car on the Ohio River railroad near
St. Marys. It is for the latter
crime, of course, that he has been
taken to St. Marys.
They are residents of Benwood.
It is said young Loring confessed
regarding his complicity in the
Bellaire job, and implicated certain
young men of Bellaire and Ben
wood. Charles Cook and another
man who were employed in the
robbery at St. Marys with Loring,
have been arrested and will be
taken to St. Marys this evening.
Capt. Mehen went up on the noon
train today to take them down.
In addition to the three men who
have been arrested at Benwood,
there are three in Mouudsville wbo
have been.implicated in the robber
ies by the companions of the men
already under arrest, and they will
be arrested as soon as Capt. Meighen
can get to Moundsville to do it.
The railroad company is deter
mined that the gang which has
been committing these depreda
tions shall be brought to account for
it, and Capt. Meighen has received
instructions to run them down at
no matter what cost, and he will
do it.
In speaking of the matter today
Capt* Meighen stated that he had
located the flour stolen from
Roome's mills in this city and that
he believed he had located quite a
lot of other stuff which had been
stolen from different places in this
city.

PULLED TWO GiS 1
On the Proprietor of a Jewelry
Store.
WILD WESTERN" STYLE
Hold Up by a Dangerous Set of
Burglars.
That there is a dangerous set of
burglars and thieves about town |
there is no lurther doubt.
One of the boldest attempts at
robbery eeve known here occurred
about 7:30 o'clock on Wednesday
evening at the small jewelry store
on the corner of Sixth street and
Phillips court alley belonging to
Bunnell & Co.
Mr. Bunnell, the proprietor, was
sitting in the rear of his shop en
gaged in reading a newspaper, when
he heard a stealthy step in the front
room. He got up and went out
and discovered a man behind the
counter taking a tray of rings from
the show case.
When he saw he was discovered,
the thief darted around from be
hind the show case. Bunnell
made a dash for him, but he was
prepared for such an emergency
and whipped out two revolvers and
pointed them at the proprietor of
the store. Bunnell had his nerve
with him and jumped forward ta
grapple wiih the thief, but the lat
ter turned and ran out the door,
shooting in the air just as he got
out on the sidewalk. He then
dodged around the corner and dis
appeared up the blind alley, fol
lowed by Bunnell for a short dis
tance.
The shot attracted the attention
of Dr. Burwell, who was in his
office over Bunnell's store. He
looked out of the window and saw
the fellow disappear up the alley.
Several others also saw the thief
going up the alley. A crowd soon
collected around the place and
there was considerable excitement.
Bunnell made an inventory of the
stock and found that a watch and
several rings were missing.
The officers were notified and
they were on the scene a few min- A
utes after it occurred. There is no m
outlet to the blind alley, which ex- p
tends into a very dark space in the
rear of the buildings on that square.
The officers made a diligent search
but were unable to find the thief,
and the supposition is that he made
his escape through one of the yards
in that neighborhood.
Bunnel was uuable to give a very
good description of the fellow as
the entire occurrence was of brief
duration. He says that the robber
was tall and slender and wore a
black coat.
The officers kept a lookout for
suspicious characters all during the
night but. no arrests were made. ?
Parkersburg Sentinel.
Mr. Bunnel formerly kept a jew
elry store in our city and is well
known here.
