Table Rock. W.v., Aug. 31.—As a re
sult of the robbery of the New York and
Pacific Coast limited of the Union Pacific
four bandits secured SIOO,OOO in curren
cy belonging to the troops of Manila, and
the robbers are fighting their way fiercely
against heavy odds in order to escape
with their booty.
It was one of the most dramatic cases
of railrond robbery on record. The big
through train was speeding across the
Red desert east of here and had reached
2% miles west of Tipton Station, 58
miles west of Rawlins, about 8 o'clock,
when a masked man who had got aboard
somewhere farther east leaped from the
baggage car on to the tender of the en
gine and, covering the engineer with a
Winchester, ordered him to stop at n
bonfire a little distance along the line.
When the bonfire was reached, three oth
er bandits, carrying heavy rifles and
wearing masks, came forward.
I'liMMCiiger* llndly Frightened.
The messenger was ordered from the
express ear under pain of being blown
up, ami several shots were fired through
the car to hasten his descent. Then the
outlaws emptied their rifles at the coach
es to keep inquisitive passengers back.
This spread a report among the latter
that the bandits were coming back to go
through the ears, and a panic ensued.
The passengers hid their valuables in
every conceivable place, and one lady
swallowed a large diamond she had plac
ed in her mouth for safety. The bandits
shot at one passenger to scare him. An
other one began walking around, and a
robber knocked liini down with the butt
of his Winchester and told him to lie
there or lie would get killed. Another
old man, who was deaf, put his head out
of the car window and just withdrew it
in time to save his life. lie had not
heard the robber's orders.
The bandits worked very coolly. The
express car was detached from the train,
run forward a few yards and was simply
blown to pieces with dynamite. The ban
dits took two bags of gold and paper
money from the wreck, threw the booty
across their horses, which they had tied
to a telegraph pole, and in a moment
were galloping away, firing their rifles ut
the train as they departed.
Fifty Men In Pursuit.
In less than two hours 50 men were at
the spot with a special train and, spurred
on by the offer of SI,OOO for each bandit
taken or killed froni the railway com
pany, were in pursuit of the fugitives.
It is now said that the men, who are
members of the "Dutch" Cassady outlaw
band, are cornered 30 miles north in the
Red desert. They are trying to get to
the Rrown Park country, which is the
abode off many outlaws. The outlaws
have an enormous quantity of ammuni
tion and are prepared to make a desper
ate resistance. They shot a deputy long
before they were sighted by the officers.
The outlaws are using white powder and
have an advantage over the officers in
this, that their whereabouts cannot In
definitely located in the scrub pines along
the route of their flight.
CORBETT DEFEATS M'COY.
"The Kid" Cleverly Knoeked Out In
the Fifth Hound.
New York, Aug. 31.—Pugilism in New
York and the Horton law came to an end
to all purposes last night in Madison
Square Garden when James J. Corbett
in the fifth round of what was to have
been a 2(1 round fight pounded into un
consciousness Norman Selby, better
known to the patrons of the prize ring as
"Kid McCoy." The exhibition was a re
markable one in every way. As prize
fighters go, the principals are known as
the cleverest men in the ring of today,
each a paragon in his own special style
and each only barred from the chance for
the championship by lack of weight and
brawn.
The fight, managed by the Twentieth
Century Athletic club, lessee of Madison
Square Garden solely for the purpose of
holding boxing bouts, drew probably the
largest crowd that an exhibition of the
kind ever brought together in New York
city. There were fully 8.(100 people in
the great amphitheater when the* match
was decided, und a fair estimate of the
gate receipts, one-half of which went to
the fighters, was $50,000.
The fight in itself was while it lasted
ns ferocious an encounter as ever has
taken place in this city. The crowd in
attendance expected to see a fight, but
the most sanguine patron of pugilism
could hardly have - anticipated the en
counter that took place. What was look
ed for was a craftily contested bout be
tween the most skillful glove fighters of
the time, long drawn out by cautious and
scientific masters of sparring. What
was really seen was a modicum of scien
tific boxing, then a rough grappling and
swift exchange of blows, all in favor of
the heavier man, the merciless punching
of McCoy and a clean knockout after a
furious attack by Corbett which ended
the conjest in 2 minutes and 3 seconds of
the fifth round.
Wade Mentioned For Governor.
New York, Aug. 31. —Another candi
date for the Republican nomination for
lieutenant governor has appeared in the
person of Arthur C. Wade, a lawyer of
Jamestown. Chautauqua county. In
speaking of this Chairman Odell said Inst
night: "Mr. Wade is a candidate, and a
delegation of his friends was here to urge
his claims. Mr. Wade Is one of the most
influential men in his part of the state,
and for years he has done yeoman work
for the party." "Do you think he will be
nominated?" Air. Odell was asked. "I
don't know," he replied. "That is for
the convention to decide."

STRANDED TOURISTS.
ChrlMtinn Endeavor Excnrnlonlat*
It en cli Mew York at Lant.
New York, Aug. 31.—Many of the 420
Christian Endeavorers who reached this
port from Europe on the North Ger
man Lloyd steamer Aller are unable to
proceed to their homes by reason of lack
of funds. Neither had any of the 420
any baggage when they arrived, lucking
even a change of linen. They tell har
rowing stories of thejr experience abroud.
They report the continent of Europe to
be dotted with ill used Christian Endeav
orer tourists.
Two thousand Endeavorers sailed from
this port July 4 by the steamer Trove.
The contingent just arrived on the Aller
is the advance guard of the army of hard
luck that is returning from the continent
as fast as "money from home" will bring
| them from interior points to Cherbourg
or Southampton, where they meet the
steamers. Their passage home had been
paid.
The pilgrims on the Aller were from
Philadelphia, Maryland, St. Louis, Mem
phis ami other points in the south and
west.
The majority of them are stranded
here in New York, awaiting remittances
to take them home. They are well to do
persons at that. Last June they paid
I from S3OO to SSOO to a tourist agency to
! take them to London for the internation
al convention of Endeavorers and there
after across the continent on various per
sonally conducted tours.
Mrs. S. J. Edwards of St. Louis, one
of the party, says that the first troubles
came from the fact that the agency as
signed one guide ami two baggagemen to
a party of 180 tourists. The baggage
men insisted on trying to drink up all
the liquor they saw between London and
Italy, and as a result the baggage got
hopelessly mixed. The hotels the tour
ists* were assigned to were for the most
part of such a character and so limited
in accommodations that the sightseers
suffered all sorts of inconveniences.
Parts of their tours which were to be
made iu carriages had to be token on
foot, and finally at Maringeu the guide
informed tliem that the managers would
have to abandon the tour through lack
of funds and the excursionists would
have to pay their own fare to Cher
bourg.
Then those not well supplied with mon
ey hud to borrow from those better fix
ed, and the French seaport was reached.
Here they were informed that their
trunks had been shipped on the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Grosse, and so the return
trip across the ocean was made with sim
ply the clothes they had on their backs
when they landed at Cherbourg.
The ladies of the G. A. It. have elected

THE SPORTING WORLD.
Arthur H. Fllekwlr, captain elfot of
Pennsylvania's varsity crew for 1901,
Is u native of Beardstown, Ills. Ho
prepared at the Beardstown Iligli
school and spent one year In the col
lege department of the University of
Illinois before he entered the Pennsyl
vania medical department with the
class of 1901. lie took no#part in
athletics while at Illinois, but on ac
count of his good showing In his cluss
AIITFIUK 11. FLICKWIR.
I crew during the fall of 1890 he was
given a trial .on the varsity and rowed
at bow for the following spring at Sar
; atoga, when Penn defeated Cornell.
I The following }-ear he rowed at No. 5,
as he was much heavier than the yeur
: previous. This Reason he rowed at
i No. 7, which position, next to stroke, is
! the most important in the boat. Ilis
election meets with general approval
both among the oarsmen and the un
dergraduates. This honor Is well de
served, as he is the only man, except
Gardiner, who has rowed in every one
of Penn's champion crews. Physically
Flickwir Is a double chested, sturdy
athlete, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs
175 pounds.
Not According to O. Wanhinßrton.
At Interstate park, at Queens, N. Y.,
I there are many trophies of the chase
on the walls of the cafe, and recently a
i black bass in a glass case was added to
' the collection. According to a legend
painted on the glass, this bass, when
caught, weighed 14 pounds 2 1 /j ounces.
According to the stories told, at least
a dozen men and one dog were con
cerned in the capture of this particular
fish.
"I caught him in Baisley's pond, near
Jamaica south," said Ilenry White
house to the writer when no one else
was near, "lie gave me a good lights
but I lauded him inside of h&lf an
hour."
At that moment Captain J. A. 11.
Dressel and a friend walked in, and
the captain at once told the others
what a beautiful time he had in laud
ing that buss while llshing in Lake Al
fred. He was still telling the story
when Walter Sykes told some one else
that he had hooked the nsh and that
his setter dog had jumped overboard
and brought the bass ashore. That
was tho best story of the lot, and even
Tom Morfey and Captain Money, al
though they both claimed the credit of
catching the flsh, could not merit a tale
to discount it. All these men have
told their stories so many times that
each really believes that he caught the
flsh. An official at the grounds, whose
name Is not Washington, finally told
the writer that he had purchased the
flsh and the glass case from a dealer in
Manhattan.
A CiolAuh; Prodiwy.
Among the new discoveries of the
present season a young man at Worces
ter, Mass., who in less than one month
was driving from 225 to 250 yards, is
perhaps the most notable. One of the
principal features of his playing was
also that he was perfectly accurate in
his direction and sent the ball as he
wished It to go. His approaching and
putting shots were well worthy of
mention, and, in fact, his talent seem
ed to be developed along many lines, a
rare thing in a beginner. He has made
the record of his course and, further
than this, has made longer drives than
the two professionals who superin
tended the laying out of the course.
He plays in as good form as many
players who have had years of experi
ence and when addressing the ball
shows little hfsitation in striking after
careful measurement. A number of
professionals who have witnessed the
remarkable playing of this young man
have given their verdict that there has
as yet been no golfer who could make
such a record in so short a time, and
they predict a successful and brilliant
future for this golfing prodigy.
Ttnle* For Cnddica.
A western club has formed some
rules for the caddies which are com
plete In every particular and worthy of
especial mention. It is interesting to
note that this particular club shows its
appreciation of caddie service in the
suggestion that prizes ore to be given
at the end of the season for the best
behaved caddie and also for the one
losing the least number of balls. The
rules consist of the following:
1. No raddie will be allowed to serve without
bis badge.
2. Fees for caddie service arc 15 cents per round,
or 25 cents for two consecutive rounds with the
aarne player.
3. Caddies will remain in part of club grounds
provided for them, and under no circumstances
will they come on the course until engaged for
service.
♦. They must be neat and bear themselves in a
respectful manner toward the players.
5. They must be prepared to caddie for any play
er upon being called.
C. They must observe strict silence while the
players in their party are having their shots.
7. They must report to the greens committee or
to the greenkeeper when the rule regarding th
placing of turf is violated.
