A SANTA FE HOLD-UP.
An Exciting Battle Near Grant Station.
From the Phoenix Republican.
The westbound Santa Fe Pacific was
held np at 2 o'clock Tuesday morning
near Grant station, N. M. It was a
profitless affair for the bandits. A
passenger on the train arrived in
Phoenix last night. He said that soon
after leaving Grant station the train
was brought to a stop and a terrific
fusilade was opened. Most of the
shots were fired along the train to in
timidite the pass?n!rt?rs and prevent ;
interference. A speeial attempt seems i
to Lave been made to scare the express
messengers, for their car was found to
be riddled with ballets. The atti.ck
was evidently not unexpected, for
there were three shotgun messengers
aboard. In spite of the hail of lead
directed at the car one of them dropped
out and took refuge under the trucks,
from which fortification he brought
down one of the assailants. The
robber screamed when he fell and
another cried out, "It's no good to
night boys !" They withdrew hastily,
taking the wounded or dead robber
with them.
On the side of the trainmen, the fire
man was shot through the calf, and
the head of Jhe engineer was badly
poundee, presumably with a revolver.
How this happened, whether or not the
robber got into the cab, the passenger
was unable to say.
In the melee the headlight was shot
out and the engine was palled into
Gallup in the dark. Officers believed
they would be able to overtake the
band, encumbered with the wounded
member. A hold-op occurred near the
same spot last fall and another nearly
two years ago. in the Burlier one, one
of the bandits known to be the chief
lieutenant of Black Jack, was killed.
Tom Collins, alias Green, a cowboy,
was arrested at Bisbee last week for
complicity in the latter robbery. The
trainmen say that five men were en
gaged in the affair of yesterday morn
ing. All were tall men, from which
f.Wtjmatortn H ii bHve1 tlmt the
sutne batidits were engaged in the two
furuier attempts. The operators on
these occasions were tsU, or looked
tall to the excited traiamea and intimi
dated passengers. The leader is sup
posed to be a character known in that
part f the country as Bronco Bill,
A Perfect Understanding.
From the Los Angeles Express.)
"Do you know," remarked an East
erner in the lobby of the Westminster
to a Los Angeles man, "I think you
mast have a pretty good police force in
Los Angeles. There is no gambling,
I am informed."
"Well," said the Los Angeles man,
the Chinese will play fan tan and the
poker joints manage to keep along in
side of the law, otherwise "
"Yes, but there are no real gambling
places with faro games, roulette wheels
and all that."
"No; none."
"You ought to see the state of things
in Chicago now. There is the most
perfect understanding between the
police and the gamblers. New York
in the palmiest days of Tammany was
no worse. Let me give you an example
of how the thing works one that
happens to have come directly under
my notice:
"I have a summer place in the north
ern part of Wisconsin on the lake, and
as we spend several months of the year
there I naturally make some little
acquaintance in the town. One day
not long ago on of the leading p'tircn
came Into my Chicago office in a great
state of agitation, and after reminding
me of his name and location, which I
had forgotten, he tumbled into a chair
and began to weep.
"Little by little the story came out.
He was a prominent member of a
certain church in this Wisconsin town
which had been saving up money for
several years to buy an organ. When
they had gotten $800 together, they
sent him down to Chicago with the
cash to negotiate for the instrument.
" 'I haven't drunk a drop since I
was a very young man,' said he between
his tears, 'but last night some men I
never saw before met me and persuaded
me to take something, and then they
got me into a big place where there
were all sorts of gambling machines,
and I played the money and lost every
cent. They gave me back $20 to get
home with and kicked me out.'
" 'Do you know ithere the place is?'
I inquired.
"He described one of the best known
gambling dens in the city and located
it exactly.
"I have a cousin, a young fellow,
who is not only a shrewd attorney but
also something of a politician. He
knows the ropes pretty, thoroughly. I
took my man to him, and 'he told his
story. Then we three went together
to the office of the hief of Police,
He was not in, but we saw one of the
captains. The man told his story all
over again.
"When he was done the captain
swung around in his chair and said to
an officer who stood near :
" 'Billy, go over to Tom's and get
this man's money back !'
"Billy disappeared and presently re
turned with his hands full of the 'long
green.'
" 'There's only $700.' said he. Thev
claim he had blowed in some before he
run up against 'em.'
"The countryman started to raise his
voice, bat my cousin stopped him. I
know where the other $S0 had gone
well enough, and so did .the captain,
who sat there with expectation written
all over his face.
"When we got outside the door, my
cousin counted out $600 to the stranger
and pocketed $100 as a fee for his
services. He'll get rich, that cousin of
mine, while the rest of us are looking
for a place to begin. Then he gave
him a letter of Introduction to an
organ factory where he was acquanted
and asked them to sell him a $600
organ and give him a bill of sale for
$800, which would put oar farming
friends all right with his constituency,
and wonnd up by reading him a lecture
on hypocrisy and warning him to keep
away from the evil ways of big cities.
"And that's the way we do business
in Chicago." L.
Sam Jones on Women.
"When God gives a man a wife and
six children he has done a great deal
for a fellow. Bnt when he gives him a
society woman and a poodle he has
thrown off on him. These society
women look upon children as nuis
ances, I have had some of the society
women shake hands with me ; I had as
soon shake a dead fish's tail. I
wouldn't give one of your sock-darning
woman for all the society women in
the country. Between cutting off the
top of their dress for ball room and
the bottom for the bicycle, these wo
men will soon have no clothes left. A
ipso W'cS to sn"if ty woman : 'I hope
I'll see more of you.' She said: 'Come
to the ball to-night.' Some people say
that jou shouldn't speak that way be
fore mixed audiences. You old sisters
wear high collars close around yonr
nooks that's modest and comely, but
deliver me from the society women
who button their collars around their
waists. You preachera don't talk that
way, do you? You talk about the
sweet bye and bye. Yon ought to talk
about the 'nasty now and then.' "
Cuba's Population.
There are or were before the
about 1,000,000 Cubans on the island,
200,000 Spaniards (which mean those
born in Spain), and less than half a
million of negroes and mixed blood.
The Cuban whites are of pare Spanish
blood, and, like the Sprniards, usually
dark ia complexion, but oftener light
or blond, so far as noticed, than the
Spaniards. The percentage of colored
to white has been steadily diminishing
for more than 60 years, and is now over
25 per cent of the total. In fact the
number of colored people have been ac
tually diminishing for nearly that
time. The Cuban farmer and laborer
is by nature peaceable, kindly, gay,
hospitable, light-hearted and improvi
dent. One thing that was new to me,
was to learn the superiority of the well
to-do Cuban over the Sponiard in the
matter of education. Among those in
good circumstances there is no doubt
that the Cuban is far superior in this
respect. They have been educated in
F"f1vjd, France or this country, wlii'e
the Spaniard has only such education
as bia own co untry furnished.
The colored people seem by nature
quits the equal, mentally and physi
cally, of the race in this country. Cer-
ainly, physically, they are by far the
larger nnd stronger race on the island.
There is little or no race prejudice,
and this has doubtless been greatly to
their advantage. '
Smatob Poctor.
Bob Burdette ia said to be the author
of this: "The good things of this world
are always the cheapest. Spring water
costs less than whisky ; a box of cigars
will buy two or three bibles ; a barrel
of brandy costs more than a barrel of
flour ; a full hand in poker often costs
a man more In thirty seconds than his
church subscription in three years. A
town election costs more than a re
vival of religion ; people sleep an hour
in church free, but a nap in a Pullman
car costs $1.50 to $2."

their efforts generally meet with
defeat.
Washihoton, March , 81. President
McKinley this morning received the

Private John Allen in a Swell Tavern.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
John Allen of Mississippi, the wit of
the House, arrived at the Ponce de
Leon, St. Augustine, registered and
was assigned to a room. He had never
seen apartments so extravagantly fur
nished. Expensive oil paintings on
walls. The bedstead was of mahoga
ny and hand carved. Carpeting a half
foot thick covered the floor. There were
vases filled with flowers, velvet covered
chairs, lace curtains, beveled mirrors
and all the other appliances of modern
convenience and luxury.
John became alarmed, lie figured
it out the room would cost as much
per day as his salary as a congressman
would amount to in half a week. lie
called a bell-boy, gave him $2 and told
uira to quietly nna out, tne tariff on
that room. John didn't like to ask the
clerk himself. He was a big man, and
that would look little. The boy re
turned presently and informed the
guest that the price was $50 per day.
Allen went down stairs, laid down a
dime and called for a cigar. They
didn't sell anything but "two bit"
cigars. He put down a nickel on the
news stand and picked up a New York
paper. "Twenty cents more, please,"
said the clerk. He got a drink and ten
dered 15 cents. "Where have you
been stopping at the Windsor V asked
the barkeeper. "Drinks here are a
quarter." That settled it with Allen.
He went to his room, gathered his grips
and took them himself down stairs.
Then he called for his bill.
"Why, what is the matter, Mr. Allen?
We thought that you were going to
spend some time with us?" asked the
clerk.
"Very sorry, replied Mr. Allen, "but
I have just received a telegram that
calls me away."
The the clerk reached out his hand to
tell him goodby.
"But the bill?" inquired Allen.
"There isn't any bill. You are the
guest of the manager, Mr. Seavy."
But Allen had to make the bluff
good, and he left on the evening
train.
The Ohio Canal.
From the Yuma Sentinel.
Col. H. J. Cleveland and Judg-e
Holeomb returned from a trip to the
aiitt of the Ohio canal on last Monday,
and after a consultation with Mr. O.
Schetter, secretary and treasurer, and
other directors of the company, it was
decided to commence active work on
the canal at once. Mr. CO". McCarroll,
vice-president, and Geo. TJ. Holeomb,
General Manager of the company, will
start on Monday next for the scene of
future operation with a force of men
and teams and the work will be pushed
to completion as fast as men and
money will do it. Col. Cleveland, who
is president of the company, made his
first visit to the site last week and
tells us that it is a far more flattering
proposition than he was able to con
ceive of until he had examined the
ground for himself, and he assures us
that there will be no lull in the work
until water is actually on the fertile
lands of the Cibola valley.
How She Figured It.
From the Detroit Free Press.
"Orlando," she said, "I am afraid
you are getting tired of having me ask
yon for money?"
'Well, you see," he answered, "I
have a good deal of expense to meet
just at this time of the year, and it
does seem once in a while that women
don't inr.ke euough allowance for that
sort of thing,"
"Well," she answered, "I've thought
of a way that will fix it all verv
nicely,"
"What is it?"
"Whenever you go to the barber
shop and the boy brushes you off, you
give him a dime, don't you ?"
"Yes."
"And when you go away from home
at a hotel and a boy brings ice water
yon give him a dime, don't you ?"
"Yes."
"And a mixed drink costs 15 cents?"
"Of course."
"Well, you've often said that women
have no head for arithmetic, but I am
going to convince you to the contrary.
I am going to learn to make your fa
vorite mixed drinks. That'll be 15
cents a day. Then I'll bring you ice
water in the morning. That'll be 10
cents. And then I'll brush your clothes
off with a whisk broom, and that'll be
10 cents more. There's 35 cents per day.
I've figured it all out on this little
piece of paper. Three hundred and
sixty-five days in a year that's 3G5
times 33, which makes $127.75. If you
will give me that without my asking
for it, just as you do the bell-boy and
the bartender, I can put it with my
regular house-keeping allowance and
, manage to get along much better.

Evaksvii-le, Ind., April 4. By the'
breaking of a levee at Shawneetown
that village and surrounding country
was inundated last night. There was'

struction of property, but all the tele

few particulars are obtainable.
It is said the town is absolutely de

food in the town for one meal. Three
hundred people are drowned. All the
goods in the city are lost and the situ- '
ation is distressing in the extreme.

Sprin&fikld, Ills., April 4. Gover-"
nor lanner has received the following
message regarding the Sbavmeetown '
disaster :
'Carmi, Ills., April 4. Gov. Tanner :;
Mr. Geo. Goetzman, a reliable mer-'
chant of Shawneetown, just now con
firms the reports of the levee breaking
last night. He says the mayor sent him"
to the nearest point of communication"
to get a message to you to send tents,
provisions and burial caskets immedi
ately via East St. Louis and Infield,"-
where the train from Bidgeway will be
waiting.
"Goetzman says the scene is worse
than Johnstown. Fonr hundred are
estimated as drowned and all property
is lost and the remaining people are on
tne levee and house tops. Rain adds
to the distress. Answer me here and I
will communicate by telephone.
"(Signed) John M. Cbedbs;

Governor Tanner replied : "I au
thorize you to draw upon me for $3,000:
I have issued a proclamation appealing
to the public for the relief of the flood
sufferers. Am preparing to send a
train with tents to shelter and accom
modate 1,000 people; 300 blankets and
1,100 emergency rations.

Mark Hanna censures the American
people, or rather those of them who
ercescHed over the Maine disaster,
for "talking war." He declares that
"not one in 500 has a dollar at stake,"
This seems to be Mr. Hanua's only
point of view nf this sub'sot. II,
pears to hold that an American must
have dollars first and patriotism after

men whe would protect Hanna's dol
lars in time of war, probably "not one
in 600 would have a dollar at stake."
But they would have lives at Btake.
