TRAIN-ROBBER’S COUP.
Nkw York, September i. An explosion on the railway line at Lewiston Narrows, in Pennsylvania, brought an express train to a stop.
Profiting by the opportunity which he had evidently created, a masked man who was in waiting, climbed on to the train and intimidated the officials into delivering a bag containing one thousand pounds sterling in bullion, and another bag filled with cents. He compelled them to carry the bags up a mountain, and then dismissed them. Subsequently the bag containing the thousand pounds’ worth of bullion was recovered. The highway man had been unable to carry both bags, and had dropped the wrong one.
