BOLD BANDll‘S and
Railroad Officials Were Prepared and
Killed Two of Them.
A SHARP, DECISIVE BATTLE.
The Engineer Did as the Robbers Com-
manded, but the Special Officers on
Board the Train Appeared, to
Be Made of Sterner Stufi‘.
CINCINNATI, March 28.—The men wear-
ing the broadest smiles here today are Gen~
oral Manager Carroll of the Queen and
Crescent route and General Manager Bar-
rett of the Adams Express company. It is
all on account of the extraordinary occur-"
rence today near Greenwood, Ky., where,
in the mountains, 175 miles from Cincin-
nati and 23 miles from the state line be-
tween Tennessee and Kentucky, the south
bound train was stopped by six robbers
just as it emerged from the mouth of a
tunnel, and after a battle lasting only ten
minutes half the robbers were killed and
wounded and the other half flying.
General Manager Carroll has received
no details of how the battle began-or what
tactics were used, his dispatches being of
the briefest form, dealing only with the
main facts of the great victory. He is
proud of the fact that this efiective service
was performed under the immediate direc-‘
tion of the special agent in charge of the
police department of the road.
General Manager Barrett of the Adams
Express company, who is also delighted
with the brief story of the affair which has
reached him in about the same form as it
came to the railroad officials. says he looks
upon this as an important event. The ex-
press company has adopted the plan of a
secret service to protect its property against
robbers. This is the first result of'the new
method. While it is costly it is infinitely
more efi‘ective than any amount of lynx
eyed detectives employed to arrest and
punish robbers. Prevention, he thinks,
in this matter is better than cure. Super-
intendent Barrett says the robbers could
have had no knowledge of the amount of
money carried by the train. and that they
made their attempt as a pure venture. He
declines to say what would have been their
rewa’i‘d’if they had been successful.
How It All Happened.
CHATTANOOGA, March 28.——Tho Cincin-
nati Southern train No 3 arrived here on
time this morning, although it stopped a
few minutes to kill three train robbers.
Engineer Tom Springfield has been run-
ning on the road for a number of years
and is regarded as a very reliable engineer.
This is his first experience with train rob-
bers, and to a reporter he told the follow-
ing story:
”We were coming along on time. The
engine is a bumper, and Rankin, my fire-
man. was keeping her hot. We had a mail,
express and baggage car, a smoker, two
day coaches and 5two sleepers. ‘We left
Somerset on time. I slowed down a little
as we ran through tunnel No. 9, about 16
miles south of Somerset. in Pulaski coun-
ty. Ky. About 300 yards this side of the
tunnel a man on the track” with a white
light lantern flagged me down. This is
one of the lonclicst spots on the entire
road. You know it is up in the rough and
rugged mountain districts of Kentucky.
There is not a house within two miles of
the place. In fact, I don’t know of a house
that is nearer than Greenwood. That lit-
tle station was about two miles south.
The road somewhat curves, too, and alto-
gether a better place could not have been
selected for a train robbery. The follow in
front kept swinging his lantern. He stood
in the center of the track. I could not
imagine what was the matter.”
“Did you think of train robbers?” asked
the reporter.
“No, I did not.” -
“Did you suppose that a freight wreck
was ahead?”
”No, I did not. I did not think any-
thing. I just saw the follow swinging his
lantern. and I stopped the train. I did not
see anybodyelso. When I stopped to see
what he was swinging the lantern for, the
fellow climbed into the cab and said,
‘Stand here till I tell you to go on,’ and
pointed a pistol at me ,Ho stood on the
left hand side of the cab. He looked like
a desperado. As near as I can recollect,
he had a big black mustache, a slouch hat
and rather seedy clothes. He looked like a
rough countryman. The follow did not
say another word, but just kept his pistol
pointed at me.” ‘
A Phlegmatic Bandit.
“Did he not seem alarmed when the
shooting was going on?”
“No; he just kept standing there, with
his' pistol pointed at me. I don’t know
what kind of a pistol it was, but it was a
big one. ”
With this the brave engineer straight-
ened out his hand and placed his left hand
almost to his right elbow to show the
length of the robber’s pistol. It might
have been a horse pistol.
”Rankin, my fireman,” continued
Springfield, “looked out of the cab on his
side and said, ‘Thcy’vc killed two of
them. ’
“But the fellow kept me covered with
his big pistol and did not say a word. Aft—
er one or two more shots were fired up in
frontthe robber dropped from the cab and
said. “Go ahead. ’ I opened the throttle,
and we ran on to Cumberland Falls, about
four miles farther down.” When asked
why he did not shoot the robber as he left
the engine, Mr. Springfield said that neither
he nor his fireman had weapons of any
kind.
“After the follow told me to go ahead
We had gone but a short distance when
Rankin found a wounded man on the tend-
er. We stopped at Cumberland Falls,
four miles from the tunnel, and put him
off, leaving him in the telegraph oifice.
They say he was badly shot in the arm
and side. He said he was a tramp stealing
a ride, and that he was not with the train
robbers, but we do not believe it. We Were
not stopped by the robbers more than ten
minutes. We came on to Chattanooga and
got here on'timc. That’s all I know about
it, and I don’t want to experience any
more fellows standing in my cab‘ and
pointing a big pistol at me.” Engineer
Springfield is a citizen of Chattanooga. Ho

POLICE PERtltUutN.
An Almost Incredible Story of How a
Woman Was Kept Out of Work.
sAYs HER ’ HUSBAND DID IT.
His Friend Is Alleged to Have Tried to
Induce Her to Permit a. Divorce to Be
Taken Against Her by Default.
The Case Was Postponed.
NEW YORK, March 28,—If half the story
told in the Essex Market police court to-
day by.Minnie Schneider, wife of ex—PO-
liceman C. S. Schneider, is true, there is
every reason to believe that she is being
persecuted by her husband, and that other
police officers are in league with him.
She was a prisoner, charged with keep-
ing a disorderly house at 116 East Elev-
enth street, and that J ustico Grady be-
lieved her is evident from the fact that he
paroled her until next Saturday, when the
whole story will be inquired into.
Mrs. Schneider says she is only 28 years
old. but she looks ten years more.
She has not 2. «ed with her husband for
over 18 months. At that time he was a
policeman, attached to the East Fifth
Street station. His father is a liquor dealer
and owns several houses on Sixth street.
Shortly before the time mentioned
Schneider began proceedings against his
wife for absolute divorce, and a motion
was made before J udgo McAdam, in the
superior court, for c‘ounscl fee and alimony.
Her lawyer in making the motion inti-
mated that, rather than pay the alimony,
Schneider would rosign from the force
but the judge laughed at the idea and ad-
journed the case.
Schneider-(Did Resign.
Two days later Schneider resigned from
the force. In doing so, however, he only
saved himself from dismissal, as there
were nearly 40 charges pending against
him. Among the number were several
preferred by his wife to the effect that he
had thrown her down, beat her cruelly and
deprived her of several teeth, which he had
knocked out with his fist.
The suit for divorce was dropped, and,
according to her story. which her lawyer,
Louis J. Finn, corroborates, she obtained
a position in Brooklyn as a domestic.
On discovering hor whereabouts her
husband, she declares, went over and cre-
ated a disturbance. ,He made things so ’un—
:plcasant that she had to give up her posi-
‘tion. She procured employment elsewhere
and was forced to give it up for the same
reason.
This experience, she claims, was repeat-
ed— four times.
Then her husband, for the second time,
began suit for divorce on the statutory
ground, and a motion for alimony on her
behalf was down for argument before
Judge McAdam today.
Two months ago Mrs. Schneider rented
four rooms on the third floor of the six
story tenement, 116 East Eleventh street.
There are three families on every floor,
and all are respectable.
The janitress, Mrs. Seide, as well as the
agent of the house, says that Mrs. Schneider
came with the best of references, and that
she has since been a quiet tenant. No
noise, they declare, was ever heard in her
rooms, nor was she known to have many
visitors. - '
'Sclmeider Caused a Row.
Last Saturday night, however, there was
a row at 116 East Eleventh street, which
aroused the neighborhood. Schneider
called on his wife, and on finding that she
was out waited for her. When she finally
appeared, he began to use abusive lan-
guage and followed her up the stairs.
She said she wanted no disturbance in
her apartments, and that if he had any-
thing to say to her they had better adjourn
to the sidewalk. They did so, and then,
she says, he beat her. They were strug-
gling and using abusive language when a
policeman arrived and arrested both.
In the Essex Market court next day the
case was heard by Justice Grady, who set
it down for examination on Friday next.
“I thought I was safe from my husband
for a. time anyhow,” Mrs. Schneider said
to a reporter today in court, “ but this lat-
est outragc shows the contrary. I was
alone in my room last night when about 8
o’clock two men, one ofiwhom was Police-
man Guntzer, entered. I never saw either
of them before, but I understand Guntzer
is a friend of my husband. He was in
citizen’s dress.
” ‘Are you Mrs. Schneider?’ he asked,
and I answered that I was, and then he
' asked if I was Charley Schneider’s wife.
“ ‘Well, the best thing you can do, then,’
he said after I had answered him, ‘is to
let his case against you go by default. If
you don’t, you will get into a. heap of
trouble.’
“I told him I would do nothing of the
sort; that I had nothing to fear and would
certainly press for alimony as well as fight
the divorce case.
“ ‘Very well, then,’ he said, ‘you are un-
der arrest.’ He showed me a warrant, and
I was locked up all night.” After hearing
some of the witnesses the justice said: “On
the face of it this looks a most extraor-
dinary proceeding. One case in which
both husband and wife are interested is
down for examination on Friday, and here
you bring her in on another charge.
“Whatever the object is I don’t know,
but I tell you that this case will not be
heard until the other charge is disposed
of. Madam, you are paroled on your
promise to be here on Saturday morning.”

Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was sofisevere
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving any
relief until I bought abottle of Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited'by its use. For
