ANOTHER EXPRESS K01JBEKY.
Bold Attempt to A.nnawtnnt n JHessenaer
JK.rnpe of the Kobber.
The Albany Knickerbock er of Saturday says:
Our community was again 6tartled last night
by the report tbat another express robbery had
been perpetrated, and the express messenger
murdered. Upon Inquiry we learned the fol
lowing particular?: The regular express train
for Boston left the depot in this city at 9 20
P.-M. It consisted of two coaches, a sleeping
car, one bapgage and one express car. In the
latter was Thomas A. llalpin, the express mes
senger. He was alone in charge of the car.
Soon after the train etarted out of the depot.
and was about to cross the bridge, a man jumped
in the car, and Immediately discharged a pistol
at Mr. llalpin. The ball entered his head, and
he fell. The man then approached him as he lay
E rostrate in the car, placed the weapon close to
Is ear, and fired again, atter which he recol
lected nothing. There were three wounds,
which proves that the robber fired three 6hots.
One is under the right car, another is in the
right ear, and the third is through the neck.
mere is no doubt whatever mat the villain
intended to murder the messenger, yet tho latter
may live, although his chances are very slim.
The robber must have taken the key of the safe
from Mr. Ilalpin's pocket, opened the safe, re
moved tuch treasuie as he could lay hands on.
arid effected his escape.
we are informed that tne sum which was In
the safe and cannot be found, amounted to
$2259. f he messenger was rendered Insensible
by the wounds In his head, and the robber was
enabled to operate with perfect Impunity, lie
undoubtedly thought his victim dead. lie
accomplished his purpose before the train
reached the other side of the river, and of
course fled.
DISCOVERT OF THE CRIME.
The train stopped on the other side of the
river about ten minutes, and it was during this
time that the robbery and attempted murder
were developed. Some men standing near the
express car heard a strange noise Inside, and
upon opening the door were horrified by seeing
tne messenger weltering m his blood. Having
recovered sufficiently to crawl to the door and
make the noise that attracted the attention of
those outside. His appearance told the whole
story.
EQUESTRIANISM EXTRAORDINARY.
A Police Neraeant Kiite. a .Nteppte-Chnne
In Pursuit ei an Kmbe.xler and Ellects Ills
Atrest.
Equestrianism Is not tin exercise peculiar to
Eolicemcn. It comes handy once in a while,
owever, as the following will show:
John Hampden illustrious name tacked on
to a "scalawag was agent for the Marl Fer
tilizing Company, of Farmington, N. J. By
some means he managed to make his account
$2000 or $3000 short, aud lied the consequences.
This was some months ago. Not many weeks
since word was sent to the defrauded company
that Hampden bad taken up his abode at Black
berry station, Kane couutv, ill. xesterday a
member of the fertilizing company arrived here
with an Introduction to Captain Juckeyfroin
Inspector Dilks, of New York.
lne captain advised tne gentleman, whoso
names is Kinney, to take along Sergeant Buck-
i I, i ii . i .
ley, me wcu-kuowd ariuorv oiucer. Accoruing-
ly, the pair started on. iney reached lilacK-
berry in time to nud tne ciiase on tne piattortn
there ready to take the Omaha train. It was
evident that be smelled a multiplicity of mice,
for he was wide-awake and soon recognized Mr.
Kinney. The fellow llampdcn Immediately
strnck across the fields with the view of dis
tancing his pursuers. Sergeant Buckley imme
diately procured a farmer's saddle horse aud
started after the fugitive. The Sergeant
learned horsemanship in Ireland, and had
no difficulty in taking the "stlffest" jumps right
gallantly. On sped the embezzler; after him
nled the equestrian officer. Trees, hedges, fences,
ditches, flow past in rapid succession, and at last
the pursuit ended in the capture of John Hamp
den. Fortunately the capture was effected on
the high-road, bo the sergeant, having had
enough of steeple-chasing, resolved to get back
at his own leisure, ao be placed tne unhappy
Jerseyite before him on the hone and bore him
in triumph back to blackberry station; much in
the manner that "Mickey Jfree" carried in tne
French prisoner at the "Passage of the Douro."
Mr. Hampden awaits the Governor's requisition
before visiting his native SUte. Chicago Re
