Of course the passengers wepe aroused, and a general scrambling and dodging followed. Among the passengers was a young German, named Koch and his bride, from Cincinnati, who were on their way to New York to take a steamer for Germany, ou a bridal trip. Koch grappled with one of the masked men, threw him, and was attempting Jo wrest his pistols from him, when another of the robbers approached the struggling men, and fired a bullet though Koch's Another passenger, named Drake was shot three times, but not dangerously wounded. The three masked desperadoes then pulled the bell, stopped the train and Jumped off, followed by a number of shots from the tralnsmen. The passenger who Informed us of the occurrence, said that Koch was fatally injured, and that he was dying when the train started on its eastern mis-slohf Berkeley was in charge of the train, but not armed.

Jle secured a pistol and assisted in defeating 'the object of the robbers. Later Information is to the effect that Koch, the brave German, died at Charleston, where he had been taken, a few hours after reaching the hotel Rufiin. Also that a man named Forgey, who came to Huntington, from Louisiana, a few months ago, has been arrested, charged with be- in nr one uf the robbers. He has a bullet wound in his shoulded which he cannot satisfactorily account for, and looks like one of the men who appeared In mask, with two pistols in his hand. We learn also that an other of the masked men was found dead.
