We have been shown the plan of a
building for a market house which if
erected would be a very large and hand-
some structure. A company is being or-
ganized with the view of obtaining a char-
ter from the city granting them the priv-
ilege of erecting the building, free of cost
to the city, and to collect market fees.
Without entering into the merits of the
question, as to the abstract right of the
city to grant special privileges to persons
or corporate bodies to restrict the sale of
meats and vegetables to one place in a
city, and to collect market dues, we will
refer to the advantages which would
result from a market properly regulated.
If the rates of rent were reasonable, it
would reduce the expenses now incurred
the city. It would improve the sanitary
condition of the city by having all the rot-
ten vegetables and offal in one place, pro-
vided it was removed every morning. It
might subject some portions of our city to
inconvenience that are distant from
the proposed market house, but
the delivery wagons from the
market house might meet this .want.
Market houses in some of our large cit-
ies are very attractive places, and the la-
dies on foot and in carriages, are in the
habit of doing their own shopping.. The
butchers and vegetable venders vie with
each other in making a fine display of
their articles. Our city council should
give this subject mature thought, and not
act hastily in either rejecting or granting
the charter. Of course they will be gov-
erned in their decision by the best interests
of the community,

etable stalls rented in various portions og gang of robbers. Upon the alighting of
The recital of the events attending the
robbery of the car used by the Texas Ex-
press 'Company at Eagle Ford on Thurs-
day morning last has hardly passed from
the minds of the readers of the daily press,
when an account of the robbery
of the same company is again giv-
en to the public. The bold,
desperate' manner in which these robberies
have been committed, stamp them as the
deeds of mCu whose value ot life for selt
or foe is very limited. We assert, without
qualification of hesitation, that the robbers
of the cars of that company on the Texas
Central railroad at Allen and Hutchins,
and on the Texas and Pacific railroad at
Eagle Ford and Mesqitite was done by
members of one and the same band of
highwaymen. This we assert upou the
evideuce of persons of authority in this
matter. We also assert that there is the
best authority for proclaiming that mem-
bers of this band make their headquarters
or home in Dallas or its vicinity.
The insecurity that is now felt by
every passenger while on a journey over
this, road called in the loudest tones for
the most swift and energetic measures be-
ing taken by the proper authorities, for
the capture and punishment of this band
of robbers. Within the space of two months
four robberies have been committed by
this gang, and the people demand that the
authorities should do every thing in their
power to curtail the crimes committed by
these desperadoes. Work, unceasing work,
is what the people demand of the officers,
and nothing but the capture aud dismem-
berment of these outlaws will satisfy
an outraged and robbed community.
While in search of a person from whom
we could learn the full particulars of this
last deed of robbery, fortune threw us in
the way of Mr. B. F. Capeton.’the baggage
master of the train robbed at Eagle Ford
and Mesquite. From him, by his extreme
kindness, we are enabled to lay before the
readers of the Standard this morning a
very graphic account of the robbery of the
car at Mesquite ou Thursday night. Yve
will attempt to give the news as nearly as
possible in his own words, following close-
ly many of the various phrases and words
used by him in the recital of the thrilling
events of that night.
The.train which was the usual night train,
carrying the United States mail, is the one
that reaches this city at 1:20 a. in. It
consisted of a baggage car, which is used
for the manifold duties of the express
company, of the mail agent department
and for the duties of the baggage-master,
two ordinary class coaches and a Pullman
sleeping coach. The train was tilled with
a moderate amount of passengers. It ar-
rived at the small village of Mesquite*
twelve miles east of Dallas, at 10.45 p. in.,
being five minutes behind time. As often
happens, when the train slacked its speed
at the Jstation, Mr. <. aperton, the
baggage-mastei, was standing at the
door of the baggage ear looking out.
The moonlight was one of the loveliest of
the season, and while his gaze was riveted
upon some object in the blue firmaffierit
above, his attention was suddenly arrested
by the sight of two men jumping off from
the platform to the left of the cars. Apro-
pos to this it may be well to acquaint the
reader not knowing to the fact, that in ap-
proaching the station at Mesquite from the
east, the station is to the right, and to t,he
left is an elevated platform for the hand-
ling of freight. Again to the left is a
number of piles of lumber, which were
used as shelter by many members of the
un lerueath them. After this they worked Ford, lie being recognized by Mr. Caper-
ton, by his figure and voice, and, in fac%
when charged by Mr. Caperton with this
tact, he did not deny the impeachment.
They all told the train hands the next
time they made an attack they would go
for oua of the day trains, on which they
expected to get quite a stun of money,
more so than on the night train. .

LADIES' LINEN AND CAMBRIC SUITS,

The Occidental.
One of The most popular resorts in the
city is the Occidental, on Main street. The I of the bright moonlight and the shortness
the two _ robbers Mr. Caperton, with
wonderful comprehension and rare
presence of mind, closed the
door and barred it, and giving warning to
his companions of the work that was be-
fore them, shouted for a gun. He order,
ed the lights in the car extinguished, which
was immediately done, giving them an ad-
vantage over the attacking party of no
small degree. The occupants of the car
were the regular messeuger, Kerley, the
two guards accompanying the messenger,
another who was coming to Fort Worth to
make the run down on the morning train
of yesterday, the mail agent in his depart-
ment, and Baggagemaster Capernton. The
latter succeeded in obtaining a gun and tried
to raise a window hi the gangway, but the
effort was unsuccessful. Not to be baffled
in the way the door was opened and Ca-
perton, Kerley and the guards opened fire
upon the members of the gang from the
platform. At this time the train had
run about its length, and strong hopes had
been entertained that the robbers had neg-
lected to place a guard on the engine. But
this hope was only of momentary dura-
tion, as the train came to a halt. Their
worst fears were realized, an armed guard
having control of the engine. At this
juncture of affairs Caperton saw two more
of the gang come from around a
lumber pile, behind which they had
been skulking. When they were within
forty or fifty yards of the car, Caperton
took deliberate aim at first one and the
other, discharging both barrels of the gun
at them. He felt confident that by the aid
purest of liquors and cigars, and the most
gentlemanly attendants to dispense them,
serve to make it the rendezvous for the re-
spectability of the city. When you wish a
ot the range taken, that one or more of
them must have been shot. The robbers
finding their reception of a such warmer
nature that was accorded them on the oc-
DSS&sSt do T! ssrts
thfir way up to the space underneath the
baggage car, and from there made a de-
mand for the surrender of the car
into their hands. They asserted all
they wanted was the express messenger.
••If you will open the door and come one
by one will let you out, and not molest
you.” More parleying of this kind contin-
ued to he made. No reply was given by
any of tde inmates of the car. They then
asserted they would cut the car loose from
the train, run it up the track and burn it.
They ordered the engineer to leave his en-
gine and to come and cut the car loose, but
for some unexplained cause he did not
succeed in doing it. They next ordered
the engineer to bring his oil can. and one
of the number took the can and poured the
contents over the platform’at one end of
the car for the avowed pur-
pose of burning out the inmates
of the ear. The leader now said he would
give them the time occupied by him in
counting fifty to decide whether or not
they would surrender the car. During
this time a hurried consultation was held
ou this important matter to their safety.
At the expiration of the time no decisive
answer was given, and the robbers exhib-
ited a great amount of impatience, and de-
clared “we don’t wautto burn you out, hut
you must surrender, or we will fire it, and
massacre you all as you jump out. Again
we assert we do not. want to harm you.”
Finding further resistance 10 be foolhardi-
ness, and having no opportunity of firing
at them while they remained under the car,
they came to the conclusion that they had
better surrender. The party marched
from the car one by one, and under a strong
guard were marched about two hundred
yards from the train, out into the prairie.
The station agent had been placed under
guard at an early moment of the outbreak
of hostilities. They fearing another at-
tack from the car, threatened in case any
one was left in the car to kill the party.
The leader made the messenger give up the
key to the safe, and then proceeded to ri-
flle the same of the contents. Not feel-
ing satisfied with the plunder, which did
notamountto over $150, they threatened to
hang Kerley to the cross beam, but as he
succeeded in convincing them that they
had obtained all there was they did not
proceed to carry out their threat. They
next entered the mail-agent’s department,
cut the mail pouches robbed the mail of
the registered letters. Upon doing ■ this
they released their prisoners, shook hands
with them, aud bade them good night.
A fine gun which they had confiscated be-
longing to Kerley,; was,“at his request,
returned to him, they remarking he
had been a brave man; aud they would
give it back to him.
The train was detained at the station
about one hour, during which time the in-
mates of the baggage car held the despera-
does at bay for twenty-five minutes.
The number of the robbers has been
placed at from twelve to twenty. In all
probability they numbered about fifteen.
While the ligh t was going on. Conductor
Ju'es Alvord, taking position on the front
platform of the.sleeping coach, commenced
to open a brisk fire upon the robbers.
While thus engaged, one of the robbers
approached him, and with an oath said :
“You are a brave and spunky little cuss,
but I’ll soon fix you,” and, taking deliber-
ate aim, discharged a number ot shots at
him, one of which took effect in his left
arm, inflicting a painful and it is feared a
serious wound. Mr. Alvord walked into
thee ar, and soon the knowledge of his
injury was made known. He left the train
at Dallas, and the charge of it was given,
from that point to this city, to Baggage-
master Caperton.
During the progress of the firing many
of the passengers took a reclin-
ing position upon the floor of the
coaches, and it required some persuasion
on the part of the train officials to con-
vince them that the danger was all over.
A visit to the cars of the train this morn-
ing by our reporter gave him the oppor-
tunity of witnessing the effect ot the bom-
bardment. In the baggage car a number
of shots passed into' it,- some of them testi-
fying by their pathway in the wood-work
to the implements of death used in their
discharge. That some one of the inmates
of the car did not receive some one of
the shot seems almost a miracle.
In the sleeping, car, from which platform
Conductor Alvord did his shooting, a
number of shots took effect from the dis-
charges of the robbers. One of the shots
passing through the car took effect by
striking the large mirror near the centre
making a complete wreck of the same. A
number of other shots took effect in and
about the door.
It gives us great pleasure, in our feeble
way, to give publicity to the bravery dis-
played on the occasion by the persons con-
nected with the express and the train.
Express Messeuger Kerley, the two guards,
and the other express messenger
from the moment of the first realization
of the situation, until all resistance was
useless, gave repeated exhibitions of brave-
ry. Baggage-master Caperton engaged
in the affray in the apparent desire to stand
by his friends of the express. He did stand i
by them from the first to the last, and the |
courage displayed by him' ou that occasion j
is the talk of the day. To Conductor Jules
Alvord’the credit is given of displaying
great and unusual bravery off the occasion.
Id fact, they all did well, fought as bravely
as men could fight, and the officers of the
Texas and Pacific railroad and the Texas
Express company have good reason for
feeling proud of the bravery displayed on
that occasion by their employes. To
them, one and all, great credit is dhe.
Their exploits on that occasiou will be re-
membered gratefully by all law-loving v
