THURSDAY, MAY 12., 1887 Kn Express Robbery. What l*rcviiiiel II From llclng a Com plete Sueeess. There has never been a time since express messengers were entrusted with sinus of money when they have not been conspired against by lent men. The HIIIIIIMT of those who have lss'ii kilhsl or wounded in the line of duty would iiurke a startling rwurd, Now ami then one lias gone wrong pud has lauded himself |u State prison, hut for every gueh i'ast" huiidretls have proved their ster ling integrity against all temptations. About twenty years ago I had a run us express messenger west from Chicago for several hundred miles. The amount of inoney'jtuKsing lo and fro was very large, and there were M -asions when the run east almost made a millionaire of me for the time being. While the orders to express messengers were not so stringent then tlie fear of rublsrv was just as great, and wo were provided with stout safes and tirearms, and euutinned to never relax our vigilance. The cars which I occupied were properly the baggage ears, I had about a third of the spaee divided oft' by a pine partition. There was a door in tlijs partition whieli 1 was supjHMud lo Weep locked at ail times, but wlien we got out on tlie road, and my work was all in hand thisdtsir u*,-d to nearly al ways stand ojM-n. The baggageman was al lowed to come into the little room, and 1 in turn would enter his part, and sit on the trunks and chat with him. Tlie idea that the railroad hands would ever have designs on fliu express money never eutv.rd any body's head. More than oiieo I left the baggageman In charge of from 97.5,000 to £150,000 while I went to a meal in the rail road restaurant. For over a year, on the run east, I hud a baggageman with whom 1 could chum in all tilings, ami I should have had no fear to hand him the keys of the safe. He met with nu uecident, and then one mail and uuother lunl his place until four eaiue and went in side of six months. The tilth man I liksl least of all, Perhaps thjs was lie cause he weuied to make a dead set to •- cure my good will and eoutldence. He was full of flattery, overwilling to offer his as sistance and sjiend his money ; but this emu!net had an opjmsite effect on me from w hut he in tended .While 1 could not siisjieet that ho had a wj< kul motive in his notions, I took a dislike to him and had to foree my self to treat him with eivility. He was all right with the conductor and brakemen. however, and 1 heard the engineer and ftr*- man agree that lie was a capital gissl fel low. It was, of course, against the rules of tlm road to pass deadheads in the baggage-ear, hut after this man, who went by the name of !Vt-r McCal*', liad Iss-n out tor three or four wwks tin-re was harilly a run that he did he did not have some deadhead with him. The eoiulut tksl to nie like tough characters, ami my r.-sjs-et for the honesty ami morality of the baggageman was not a \i%dt ineri-astsi. He never intrm diu*ed any of tliein to me, but I aOerwards reineialtered how closely they sized me up ami ins|xvtcd my end of the ear. McCal*- liad IMVII on the run ulamt four months, when, one evening at sewn o'clock as we pulled out of the dejtot for the run east, two men got jnto the baggage-ear with him. They w ere cautious alsmt jt, getting on in the yards aft-r the train was clear of the building. When 1 came to see them by the light in the car I diseov*ml that Inttli of them had lweti over the road with hiiu I**- f,,iv—not togetlier, but singly and at inter vals. There was nothing in their apjM-ar ance or conduct to arouse suspicion, how ever, and thy gave me not tlie least atten tion. 1 had my way-Mils to ch<*ck up and pans-is to put away, and this kept me busy for the first half hour. All the money going as far as Chicago was placed at the Isittoni of the safe. That to 1H- handed out en route was at tint top : on this occasion only three packages were to lie delivered ls-fore reaching Chicago, and as they contained less than 9l"0 each I laid them on the shelf, locked tin* safe mid put tin- key in my pon it. Of the eight-mile stretch llien* wen* five miles of springy track where tin* spea*d of the train hnl to lae reduced to about lifleeia miles an hour, and we had only entered upon this when MeCabe a*allsl to me : "Say, Oeorge, come and look over tlais trunk. There is such an infernal smell that we've come to the conclusion there's a de ad body in it." The alitor in the partition was made of slats or pickets, and I could sea* out or one c mid S4S* in. I rose up, unlocked it, and went to the other cml af the car, where tin* three were grouped about a large trunk. ".lust put your nose down hen-," said MeCabe, his features at the same time wear ing a look of d*ep digaast. I bent over the trunk to got a sniff, and the jiext instant the three men seized me ami Ism* me to the fioor, one of them hav ing his lingers on my throat so that I could not utter a sound. They had lashings and a gag at hand and in throe minutes I was tied lianal anil foot, and as helpless as one couhl be. "Sorry to use you this way, Co-orgi-," said the baggageman as lie fastened the gag in my mouth, "but. we must have that money, and we didn't want to crack you oil tlie head. Now then, boys." One -of them opened the sliding door while the other two wi-iat.after the site. I don't Kupjaoso it was five minutes from the time they seized nu* until they had thrown the safe out ami followed It. My feet were lashed to the handle of a trunk, nay ellaows pulled behind me and tied, and the gag would not permit me to utter a sound. There was nothing to alo but to let them go, but I had a good look at both tlm st rangers, and I went to work to paint their portraits on my memory. My condition was discovered at the first stop, and the loss of that money raised art awful row. There was upwards of £BO,OOO lathe safe, but liail there been less than a hundred the company was bonnil to get it back. 1 got off, against the advice of the conductor, and telegraphed the fact of the robbery and asked for instructions. While awaiting an answer I took a deputy sheriff, both of us mounted on horses, and rode back to the scene of the robbery. It was in June, ami scarcely had we started when a thun der storm came up. We rode right down the railro ad track until we were, as near as 1 <>uhi Judge, at the spit where the safe had IM-CII t in-own out. I remembered of the ciiglno-r hi*t ling for a crossing just In-fore the men jumped, and now I was going on tin- theory that tlu-y hod con foal crates wait ing at tin* crossing for them and their plunder. About half a mile from tills crossing we laud to leave the railro ad track and take to tin- woods,ou amount of a treat hi work over a creek, iluring ail this time the lightning was striking almt us with heavy crash o*, and the Hashes were some times so sharp that the horses seemed dosed for a moment. When we fin ally struck the highway we were half a mile from the crossing. The ilaunder and lightning had patwn-d over, hut it was still raining heavily, ami the night was dark. We tunmd to ride to the cross ing,hut had not goiio a hundred feet Is-fore I heard human voices. Whoever they belonged to were coining toward us, ami we slippM off our horses and stood under the trees ait the edge of the highway. The voices mine nearer, and presently I identified that of the baggageman as he said : "Nolssly is to blame for |t, bid we've lost precious time ami must go ahead now." After a bit we made out thm* black spits in the darkness, and I heard a sound which convinced me that the safe was ba-ing car ried by two of the men. It weighed two hundred poinds or mure, aud though pro vided with handles was a dead weight to a-.-arry under any eimnmstauetts. As the trio came up we dashed at them with a yell, a..ach <,f us having a drawn revolver, 1 gut the baggageman, but one of the strangers opened fire on the deputy and wounded him mad Isith got away, though they were run down inside of a week. MeCabe made a ajeaia breast of the matter, as rogue** often do. He had Is-en planning for week* to rob uie. A confederate was to Is- at the cross ing with a team to haul off the safr, but he was half an hour lata*. Then harilly had they loaded up the safe w hen a hilt of light ning prostrated an old stub and one of the hones, H Started off after another, but was so long that the robbers became Impatient, and thought to carry the safe to some more secure spot. By the time I got a telegram ordering me to Chicago to give particulars I h:ad the motley and otata of ihe men, and I aim gayn the local officers the utue to overhaul the others. How was I re warded at hendapuirtcrs ? I was iuvestiga ted, bulldozed, laid under suspivioii ami fi mally depriv<-d of my situation on the ground of carelcssiieas. My testimony sent the three men to prison, ami the psp'r* called me a liefo, bi|t Ih<> express company laid me aside without making charges of any sort, and I was never re-em ployed.—N. 1". Sun.

Hints to Swimmer*. • Whentlio season arrives,'re marked a Nutatoribin professorlho oth* er day, we'll hear of the usual maxi tnuru of drowning cases, and among them, as usual, a fair share of expert swimmers. The chief reason why good saiimners arc so often drownod when they are accidentally thrown into the water is because the shock causes them to lose their prcseuce of mind. The loss of presence of mind leads to paralysis of body, or to such wild ex ertions as accelerate drowning instead o( contributing to preservation. The ability to behave wisely in case of sudden accidents can culy In; required by experience, just as everything else has to be acquired. The theory ot matter can be taught in swimming schools, but the pructioo must be ac quired by experience. Ilcncn, in some of the European swimming schools the pupils are taken out boat-riding and purposely upset, as though the upsetting were accidental. Tbey are ulso suddenly pushed overboard, and subjected to all manner ot prepared accidents, so as to accustom tbem to acting iu emergencies. In this way they learn how to behave in case of real accidents, and aro protected a guinst tlnr loss of their presence of mind on occasions of danger on the water. They arc also taught to have faith in the sustaining power of wat er itself. They get to know that water will sustain them if they will only render theleast help. A finger laid upon an oar or the gunwale ot an o vcr-turned boat, or a board, or almost any floating substance, will sustain the human body in calm water. Per sons who have been properly taught, and haye acquired the h&dit of acting with self possession in the water when tbey are upset, do uot attempt to climb upon the overturned boat, but simply take hold of it and quietly sup port themselves. A boat,half filled with water, or completely overturned, will support as many persons as can get their hands upon the gunwale, if tbey behave quietly. In a case of accident, a person who understands and acts in accordance with these facts would stand a better chance of being saved, even if he were a poor swimmer, than an expert swimmer would stand who should lose his presence of mind.— Philadelhia Call. Origin of Some Political I'hrwsM. 'Are you going home to look alter your fences ?' a reporter of the Cin cinnati Enquirer asked John Sher man, who laughed heartily and re plied: 'Do you know how that expression orignated ? No ? Then I'll tell you When I was Secretary of the Treasu ry I came home to Mansfield for a few days at one time. As soon as I got there there was an influx of newspa per correspondents from all parts. Some of them announced that I was getting ready to run for Governor; others that I was working up a boom for the presidenlal nomination. One of them came to meand boldly asked me what I was doing in Ohio. It just happened that on that day I had con tracted with a man to repair some fences on my place that were in a tumble-down condition. So when that newspaper man asked me what I was doing in Ohio I told him that I had come home to look after my fences, lie published what I said, the ex pression was taken up by the papers and went all over. It has been used on some occasions in the British Par liament. It's funny bow these politi cal expressions originate. In some city just before election the Democrats employed au immense number of la bors to lay water pipes. That's what gave rise to tie expression 'layio, pipes'. You remember that at one time the Democrats were called loco foeos. During a Democratic meeting in New York the participants grew so turbulent that it became necessary to extinguish the lights. The partici pants, left in total darkness, pulled out locofos, as the old fashioned matches were called. That's how that name originated.' They Found Him Out. Silence is not always a |>roof of wisdom, though often it is a sign of it. Here is a story that a gentleman who had a son who was not particularly bright always admon ished the young man to be silent, and so cone eal his folly. One day the two were invited to a large dinner, and, as seats were not plenty, the father, and son were separated. During the meal, two gentlemen who sat opposite the young man differed in opinion on a subject they were discussing, and rather than have a serious dispute, tliey agreed to leave it to the gentleman opposite them to decide. They stated their case to him, and asked his opinion. The son was silent. Tliey waited a little while, supposing tliat he was meditating, and again asked him to decide. Still he kept silence. This led the gentle men to look steadily at him, when both ex claimed at once : "Why, the fellow is a | fool!" ''Father ! father !" the son called ; "they ' have found me out!"— Youth's Companion.
