A VERY EASY VICTIM, General Bailey, Senator Quay's Candidate for Sergeant . at Arms, DEFEATED IN THE CAUCUS. L Ex-Congressman Yalenline, of Ne braska, the Successful Man. THE FEDERAL ELECTION SCHEME. (Eeed Tells His Followers What Kind of a ' Law is Kecessarj. A BOW IN THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE ( Ex-Congressman Valentine was chosen as Sergeant at Arms by the Senate Republi can caucus in the second ballot last night. General Bailey had 13 votes on the first call, bnt it took nearly twice that number to nominate. The Republicans of the Home held a conference upon the Federal election bill, and adopted Speaker Reed's ideas upon the subject. special telegram to the dispatch. "Washington. June 10. Ex-Congressman E. B. Valentine, of Nebraska, was se lected for sergeant at arms of the Senate to night by the Republicans in caucus. Sen ator Quay is a Tery much disappointed man because his colleagues refused to select his candidate, ex-State Treasurer Bailey, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Quay started in a year aeo to get hold of this Tery desirable office for his friend Mr. Bailey, but could not secure the removal of Sergeant at Arms Canaday. The latter had made a very good official, and a large majority of the Senators decided that Ithey wanted him to remain, and they plainly said so. This made Senator Quay indignant, t lor he had a quarrel with Canaday growing 'out of political matters, i A PEIEND OF SHERMAN. 1 Canaday has for several years been a de voted friend and lieutenant of Senator Sher Ixnan. He is a member of the Bepublican (National Committee from North Carolina, jand has a strong following in the South. He has never wavered in his allegiance to Sher man either in victory or defeat, and when Mr. Quay attempted to dictate to him, Mr. Canaday told him that he was loyal to the for tunes of Senator Sherman always. Then Mr. Quay attempted to show Mr. Canady that as Sergeant at Arms of the Senate he couldn't aflord,to be so independ ent. Finally Colonel Canaday determined that he wanted to resign to go into private business, and Mr. Quay at once seized the opportunity to urge the claims of his friend Bailey. The Senators resented his perti nacity, and so Mr. Quay turned the whole Batter over to his colleague, Mr. Cameron, and kept himself in the background. TOO MAST KEYSTONE CANDIDATES. In addition to the feeling against Senator Quay, the fact that the executive clerk of ihe Senate, James B. Young, is also from Pennsylvania, handicapped Mr. Cameron in his canvass. Mr. Young is the most popular man about the Senate and a most faithful and efficient official. "When it was pointed out to Mr. Quay that to push Bailey would result in injuring Young, the Senator in his characteristic way replied: "'Well, we can't help that. Young must loot out for himself." This remark was conveyed to some of the Senators and caused the loss of several votes for Mr. Bailey. Mr. Young will remain on deck now until he cares to resign. Colonel Swords, the enthusiastic Republi can, who made himself so conspicuous in the hotel corridors in Sew York during the campaign of 1888, was very anxious to be serjeant-at-arms, but he defeated himself before the fight had fairly begun. He was so foolish as to write a letter and this killed him at once. His friends, the Iowa Senators, were work ing np considerable support for him, when the supporters of the other candidates brought to light one or more letters which Mr. Swords wrote lately, in which he prom ised to take care of certain persons on the Senate pay rolls as soon as he should be sworn in. A FATAL MISTAKE. This little indiscretion ended Mr. Swords fight immediately. His promise to take care of certain persons carried with it an implicit promise to remove certain other persons. The friends of these certain other persons at once started in to defeat Mr. Swords, and they did so easily. The other ambitious candidates for the office did not have much support with the exception of the present Deputy, Charles B. Beade, who has a host of friends among the Senators. Mr. Keade did not deem it advisable to make a hard fight at present, however, and was pleased to have his friends go in for Mr. Valentine after they had given their first choice a complimentary vote. Mr. Valentine mar charge his good fortune largely to the fact of the great per gonal popularity of his friend, Senator Manderson and the clever management of Senator Paddock. Mr. Manderson has more personal friends among the members of the Senate than anv man who ever occupied a seat in the body with the possible exception of Mr. Palmer, of Michigan. His colleagne, Senator Paddock, is the au thor of the canvass of Mr. Valentine, and has done hard wort for him early and late for the past two weeks. Mr. Paddock played his cards Tery well, but many of Mr. Valen tine's warmest supporters were drawn to him through the friendship and popularity of Senator Manderson. .pt -" JfO SCHEDULE COMPLETED, Slow Work Upon tlio Tariff BUI In the ftenatr Finance Committee, Washinqton, June 10.

FEDERAL ELECTION PLAN. SPEAKER REED OUTLINES A COMPRO MISE MEASURE. Under It Only the National Supervisor's Returns Will be Considered In Orennlz I&C tfas House The Southern Republi cans Drniiud a Timorous Lnw. "Washington, June 10. For the fourth time the Bepublican Representatives were in caucus to-night upon the subject of a Na tional election law. The attendance was small, and as it was understood that a vote was not to be taken be'ore 12 o'clock to decide between the Lodge and the Powell bills, the first two hours was voted entirely to a discussion, which served but to accentuate the prefer ence of the Southern Republicans for the Lodge plan. The feature of the discussion was a speech in favor of that measure by Representative Cheatham, the colored member irom North Carolina. The result of the talk was that Speaker Beed pointed out how the differ ences between the adherents of tbetwo bills could be adjusted by the combination of the features or principles of each which were un objected to. His proposition was unanimous ly accepted, and Messrs. Powell and Lodge were instructed to formulate a compromise bilL Its features will be an enlargement of the supervisory system so that the super visors shall participate in registration vot ing and canvassing. To carry out fully the national idea the supervisor's returns are to be prima facie evidence of the right of a member to his seat and to prevail in making up the roll of the House. In cases of conflicting returns the certificates of the State canvassers may be used to allow the House to form its judg ment of the qualifications of the contestant. A CAMPAIGN BOW ALREADY. The Cbalrmnn and Secretary of the Con sresslonnl Committee In Trouble. tSFECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. I "Washington, June 10. There is an interesting" row in the Bepublican Con gressional Campaign Committee, of which Representative Belden is chairman. An organization was effected a few days ago by the election of Mr. Belden as chairman and Schuyler S. Olds, of Michigan,; secretary. The latter was backed by some of the strongest Republicans from the "Western States. On Monday last the committee opened its headquarters on Lafayette square. Mr. Olds purchased a modest amount ot office furniture. Mr. Belden delivered Mr. Olds a severe lecture on the necessity of observing strict economy. Mr. Olds was dumbfounded. He was perfectly willing to pay for all the fur niture from his private funds. This morning Chairman Belden appeared at the committee headquarters with Mr. Edward C. O'Brien, the disbursing officer of the House of Representatives. Mr. Belden said that Mr. O'Brien would be his per sonal representative on the committee when absent. Mr. Olds was indignant. Belden called again, this time with his private Sec retary, who he announced was to be his per sonal representative at all times whenever O'Brien could cot be present. Mr. Olds then sent in his resignation addressed to Mr. Belden. Jlr. Belden promptly accepted it, although he had no authbrity whatever for acting for the full committee, and put a friend of his own in temporary charge. Olds friends are very angry, and insist that he must be re instated. They say they are ready to carry the war to the extent of forcing Mr. Belden out. RETALIATORY LEGISLATI0K. Canada' Discrimination Against the United Slate- to be Met in Kind. SPECIAL TELEGBiM TO TIIE DISPATCH. "Washington, June 10. It is rumored at the Senate that the special committee appointed nearly two months ago to investi gate the subject of the relations existing be tween Canada and the United States will soon make a voluminous report, taking strong ground in favor of retaliatory legislation on the part of the United States against Canada for the many acts of discrimination against this Government. Secretary Windom recently wrote a let ter calling attention to a flagrant case of discrimination against the United States on the part of Canada in the matter of the importation of tea, coffee and silver coin, suggesting that steps be taken to retal iate upon Canada for ber discrimination against the United States in regard to the tariff on these articles. An examination of the circumstances that brought forth the Secretary letter re veals the fact that in the Canadian customs tariff tea is on the free list, except as pro vided in the section stating that tea Irom the United States is dutiable at the rate of ten per cent' ad valorem. This tariff also makes coffeefree, except such as is imported from the United States, which is also duti able at 10 per cent ad valorem. Another section of the law provides that coin (gold and silver) shall be free except United States coin. A SCENE IN TEE HOUSE. Hot Words Between Representative Springer and a Claim Lobbyist. "Washington, June 10. This afternoon a private bill was pending in the House for the relief of Hyland C. Kirk and others, which had been vigorously opposed by Bepresentative Springer, of Hli nois. The Bepresentative had occasion to pass out of the hall, and at the doorway was confronted by Mr. Kirk, the beneficiary of the bill, who demanded to be informed why he opposed the bill. Mr. Springer re plied that he opposed the bill because he believed it was an improper measure. "I know your reason for opposing it," re torted Kirk, "and," tapping his pocket, "I have it here in black and white." Mr. Springer thereupon became indig nant, and asked Kirk to produce his evi dence that he (Mr. Springer) was actuated bv anv but proper motives. Mr. Kirk reiterated his remark; and Mr. Springer declared that if the gen tleman insinuated that he was actuated by any improper motive, he would have Kirk brought before the bar of the House for .contempt Mr. Kirk made no response, and Mr. Springer returned to the House and helped to defeat the bill.

MYSTERIES OP THE MIST. TWO REMARKABLE CASES OF SUICIDE AT NIAGARA FALLS. An Unknown Man Throws His Hat Into the Rnplds nnd Flunees After it A Hnsbnnd Receives His Missing Wife's Bank Book by Mnll. ISPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THI D1BFATCR.1 Niagaea Falls, June 10. About 1 o'clock this afternoon while a number Of ex cursionists were viewing the rapids above the American falls, an unknown man was seen to enter upon the bridge over the rapids leading to Goat Island, and when about at the middle he suddenly threw his hat into the roaring waters. But a moment after with a sudden movement he jumped over the railing into the boiling current. "When he reached the water he swam directly toward the falls, but a few hundred feet distant, and about SO seconds later he passed over the brink into the chasm 160 feet below. "When at the edge of the precipice he raised him self with a superhuman effort and threw his arms wildly about bis head and then passed over tbe impenetrable mist. Soon after the crowd on Prospect Point, which had wit nessed the act, saw the body float out from the foot of the falls and pass down the stream. The man was apparently 35 years old, had a full black beard and woredark clothes. His identity is a mystery. There is also much mystery about the whereabouts of Mrs. John Beagan.who, it is generally supposed committed suicide by going over the American falls last Thurs days as articles belonging to her were fonnd on the river bank. On last Saturday her husband was startled to receive through the mail her bank book, enclosed in an enve lope. Postal marks show it to have been sent by some one in the town, and one of the mail carriers located it as having been dropped in one of the boxes in the neigh borhood ot Mrs. Beagan's house some time during Friday night Her husband asserts that the book was placed, with $20, in her small satchel on the night before her disap pearance. "When he examined the satchel in the morning both the money and book were gone, and the book was mailed about 24 hours after she was found to be missing. It is thought some one in the town knows all about the case. MARRIAGE A FAILURE.

OKLY AN EXPERIMENT A Sensation Caused by the Outcome of the Introduction of HYPNOTISM IN A FEMALE COLLEGE. Two Young Ladies Who Haj Not EecoTer 1 From the Effects of THIS KEW DEPASTURE' IN EDUCATION. A Plan for Hind Cnltnre From Which Great Kesults Were Anticipated. LaSalle Seminary adopted a vigorous description of mind culture closely re sembling hypnotism. As a result two young ladies of prominent families have had their nervous svstems shattered and may never re cover. The school authorities claim that the pupils always were weak physically. SPECIAL TELEOEAH TO THE DISPATCH! Boston, June 10. Two young ladies' whose families are among the influential of Newton's society, have for nearly six months been confined to their homes, and the an nouncement of the cause of their illness has caused a sensation to educational circles. They havebeen in a most critical condition and several expert physicians in the treat ment of nervous diseases have declared the cause to be hypnotism, practiced upon them by a teacher in LaSalle Seminary, a famous Methodist institution at Auburndale, ten miles from Boston. The family physician declares that they were completely hypnotized, and that one of them wjiile under the mesmeric spell was unable to rise from the floor without assist ance 'or remove her attention from the in structor. He says that the nervous systems are greatlv injured and it is doubtful if they ever fully recover. a peattjee op the institution. There is a system in vogue at LaSalle known as the art of mind concentration, and Miss Annie Call has conducted this department, having a class of 120 young women. Miss Call believes the system one of great advantage to her students, teaching them entire and full submission to will and placing them in such positions that they may entirelv relax their nervous systems and .gradually learn to economize their new force. The catalogue of the seminary thus de scribes tbe new department, which, by tbe way, has never been introduced elsewhere in this country in an institution of learn ing: "We have introduced a systematic training iu the use of tbe mind in itself as well as in Us guidance of the body and the results should bring young women to a better nervous balance and so prepare them to meet life out of school with strong nerves, thoroughly controlled according to natural laws. ONLY AN EXPERIMENT. Miss Call has given this instruction for a year, but it has been recognized only as an experiment She is an enthusiast," and the principal of the school is inclined to be lieve there are good points in the instruc tion, and many physical benefits to be de rived therefrom. The course ha received a sudden and painful setback, however. Both the pro fessor apd the instructor were deeply pained because of these instances of illn-, nnd the parents are iu great distress over the whole matter. .' The professor declares the cause not directly attributable to the treatment ot Miss Call, but states that they were gradually brought into a weak, nervous condition through their other studies, and he believes she gradually became too weak physically to bear the strain. A portion of the instruction is to place the student prone upon the floor, and while .in this position the instructor commands the student to allow her entire nervous and mental sys tems to fully relax and; become absolutely beyond thought or control. AN ESSENTIAL POINT. This relaxation, which was an essential point in the instruction, must be so perfect that when Miss Call wonld lift an arm or a limb or a finger, it would fall as if entirely lifeless. The instructor would then com mand an eye to move, or a head or a finger or a limb, and the proper nerves controlling these organs, and those only, must be called into requisition, entire relaxation to imme ately follow the movement. These two cases are the only ones in the seminary, and they have given rise to much comment in support and in opposition to the course of instruction in the department.

THE GENERAL SYNOD OF THE RE FORMED PRESBYTERIANS DECLINE. Believing It to be to Their Best Interest to Remain Apart From the, Synod Oppose Chinese Restriction The Constitution tbo Tborn In tbe Flesh. New Yoek, June 10. All of the dele gates representing 124 churches were present at this morning's session of the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, as were many ladies and members of other churches, who were anxious to hear the discussion as to whether or not the Synod will form a union with the General Synod of tne Re formed Presbyterian Church. It was re solved, however, to make this matter the subject of special order for discussion in the afternoon. The committee on the Chinese question denounced the restriction laws as unjust and contrary to the genius of Ameri can institutions, and all missionaries were called upon to remonstrate against anti Chinese legislation. The report was adopted and a copy will be sent to President Har rison. At this afternoon's session discussion was begun upon the report heretofore presented upon the subject of a union with the Gen eral Synod. Rev. John Graham, of Phila delphia, representing the General Synod, which body made overtures for a union, ex plained that the General Synod had 47 con gregations, 5,200 communicants and a per manent fund of $100,000. Rev. F. M. Foster, of New York; Elder John A. Dodds, of New Galilee, Pa.; Rev. B. M. Summerville, pastor of the Second Eeformed Presbyterian Church, New York; Reu. J. C. McFeeters, of Philadelphia; Rev. F. Carlisle, of Newburg, N. Y.; Rev. J. C. Smith, of Cincinnati; Rev. Dr. H. H. George, of Beaver Falls, Pa., and Elder David Boyd, of Kansas City, spoke in favor of the report and against any uniom The substance of their argument was that the General Synod did not accent the standards of tbe Synod. They differed with the Synod in the reception of members. They did not require, as a condition of member ship, that a member should profess dissent to tbe Constitution of the United States. In the year 1833, when the division occurred, neitber side placed itself on record. The General Synod substantially held that its members might swear allegiance to the Constitution of tbe Government and that their members might vote and hold office. The Synod placed itself on record that it was utterly inconsistent for any one of its members to sit 'on the juries, hold office, or swear allegiance to the United States Constitution, because it did not ac knowledge the sovereignty of God as it should. The speakers in favor of union and against the report were Bev. N. M. John son, of Topeka, Kan.; Rev. J. R. Thompson, of Newburg, N. Y.,and Rev. "W. C. Sampson, of McKcesport, Pa. They argued that a union should be formed, and that it would be time enough then to decide, upon a plat form. A 5 o'clock, without reaching a vote, the Synod adjourned until to-morrow morning.

A. native born Chester county farmer's boy, be has risen to distinction as an educator, and in the profession of the law, and as a busi ness man of sterling integrity in every way eminently qualified for the proper discbarge of the duties of tbe office for which he is named. His personal popularity and the confidence re posed in him will materially Btrenfien tbe Republican party, in tbe, county and State dn the coming campaign, we therefore instruct our delegates to tbe State Convention -to sup port him and to earnestly insist upon his nomi nation by every means in tbeir power. nOKORABLE OB OTHEBWISE. Ex-Sheriff George R. Hoopes suggested that the word "honorable" be inserted in the resolutions relative to the means to be employed in the State Convention, but the Chair thought it unnecessary, since Chester county was not now engaged in any dis honorable political warfare. The conven tion also gave a unanimous expression in favor of Thomas S. Stewart's claims, and this done a motion to adjourn was carried at 11 o'clock. There was some shyness shown on the part of the Darlington-Delamater people, and some of the vigorous workers in that faction or party were conspicuous by their absence. Congressman Darlington took an early train for "Washington, and as his train moved out of the depot he waved u, ''peace be with you" to ex-Sheriff Hoopes and Chairman Snyder. The County Convention of Prohibitionists was also held here to-day, with J. Acker Guss, of Spring City in the chair. The at tendance was very small, but the few pres ent found business enough to hold two ses sions. The resolutions passed reaffirm the old time war against the mm traffic and that re form could come through a political war fare the non-partisan campaigns frequently doing more hurt to temperance than good. They denounced tbe so-called temperance people who passed as such and yet solicit their neighbor's vote in behalf of the other parties. A TROUBLESOME QUESTION.

Guffy Will Probably Win tbe Congressional Contest Tbe Straggle for tbe Other Places Close Pattison Is tbe First Choice for Governor. rSPECIAI. TELECJBAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Scottdale, June 10. Never in the his tory of "Westmoreland county has there been such interest manifested in county politics as at the present time. Interest has jumped a notch since the Republican pri maries last Saturday. The Republicans have located a good ticket in the field, and the Democratic leaders, realizing this fact, are working might and main for the nomi nation of an equally strong ticket. There are 36 candidates to choose Irom, appor tioned as follows: Two for Congress, 5 for Treasurer, 4 for Register, 10 for Assembly, 7 for Commissioners, 5 for Auditor and 3 for Coroner. Present indications point to the nomina tion of John Guffy for Congress, as the Democrats are afraid if he is not nominated it would mean defeat for the party next fall. Byers does not seem to be in tbe race from a Guffy standpoint. Neverthefess he is making a big hustle for votes. For Treasurer the fight is between Philip Fisher and Robert Graham, with chances in favor of the former. The squabble for nomination of Register and Recorder is a triangular one. The leaders are Conway, Laird and Obley all party workers. Conway was defeated before by only 98 votes and his friends confidently expect bis election by a decided majority. The cokers will support Laird. Obley is a young man, is making a great effort for a place on the ticket. J. K. -Ellwood and "W. B. Howell will likely be nominated for the Legislature, with third and fourth places on the ticket between Dr. J. H. Lafferty, "W. T. Byers, T. S. Fleming and Captain Bicer. Huff, or Martin and Maxwell will probably be nominated for Commissioner. Pattison is the people's choice or Governor. TTn; FIRST PARTY TICKET Will be Pat in Nomination by Sonth Dakota ' Democrats To-Day. St. Paul, June 10. To-morrow at Aber deen, the South Dakota Democrats will hold their State Convention to nominate the first party ticket in what promises to be one of the most exciting and un certain elections ever held in any one-sided State. Last October tbe vote for Governor of South Dakota was: Republican, 63,964; Democratic, 23,840,and that was a warmly contested campaign. However, there are factors in this year's battle which have been absent heretofore. Last week the Farmers' Alliancemet in con vention at Huron and organized the Inde pendent party and called a convention to meet July 9, to nominate a State and Congressional ticket. It is claimed by the Farmers' Alliance that their membership exceeds 30,000, most of whom the leaders ex pect to carry with them to the new party. It is generally acknowledged that most of these will come from tbe Republican party, in which case the present political status of South Dakota may be materially changed. The Southern Dakota Alliance people are of the opinion of one prominent delegate to the Huron Convention, who says that this new party organization will bo speedily ex tended. "South Dakota," he explained, "the best organized State in the Northwest, takes tbe initiative, and there would he noth ing surprising in the fact should the Alli ance element in North Dakota, Minnesota, Iow, Nebraska end Hinsas wheel into line."

He said: "There is not one word of truth in the story from "Washington. On the contrary, it is just the reverse." Ex-Senator "Wolverton, of Northumber land county, who has been mentioned as a possible candidate for tbe Democratic nomi nation for Governor, wbile discussing tbe political situation to-night said: "In my judgment ex-Senator Wallace will be the Democratic nominee for Governor."

Captain James Abraham, of Smithfield, first had his bills up for the Republican Congressional nomi nation in this county, but after viewing the field, concluded that he would not run for fear he would strike a snag in the person of Colonel Andy Stewart. Mr. Abraham after ward announced himself as a candidate for County Commissioner, but has now with drawn from the Commissioner contest, and this afternoon announced his attention of coming out for Prothonotary. The wily Captain is seeking for an easy place of entrance to the county tiefcet, and has evidently found one at last, as there is no other candidate announced as yet for this office. It is not known whether he is a Bail v or Ewing man to a certainty, 'but it is believed that he is allied to the latter. QUAY AS A DELEGATE. He Will Get a Proxy from One of Ihe Beaver Representatives. SPXCIAIi TE1EOBAH TO THZ DISPATCH, t Beaveb, June 10.

Texabkana, Aek., June 10. Express train No. 1 of the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railway was wrecked by six masked robbers two miles south of here at 12:30 o'clock last night. The train was ditched at Haywood switch by throwing the switch. The engine, tender and express cars left the track, and an unknown tramp, who was stealing a ride in front of the express car, was instantly killed. The robbers instantly attacked the ex press car, but the messenger repulsed them with a volley from a Winchester. None of the robbers were hit and they returned the fire with Interest, one of the band walked up and down beside the train with a "Win chester at full cock against his shoulder and shouted: THE BANDIT'S C03IMAN,D. "Nobody on this train wili be hurt unless they resist. Keep your heads in, and don't go tofinne foy pistols, or you'll get killed." It is needless to say that the passengers obeyed the instruction. The hot fire of'tbe robbers began to frighten the messenger, and when he was told that he wonld be cremated in tbe car unless he surrendered promptly, he gave in. The safe was opened, and the robbers secured a sum of money estimated to be about 510,000. Neylin, the express messenger, and the fireman and engineer were taken into tbe woods by tbe robbers and tied to trees. They then proceeded to avenge themselves on the messenger by shooting him in the hand, the arm tfd ear, and threatening death to all three if they resisted another train robber or made an outcry. The robbers rode off, and an hour later the frightened passengers rescued the train men, and gave the alarm. A POSSE IN PDESTJIT. The bandits had just six hours start of the sheriff and his posse. The posses are now out hunting the robbers, but no trace of them has been found. The leader of the gang is supposed to ba the celebrated out law, Rube Burrows, as this particular road has spent thousands of dollars hunting him, and he has threatened to be avenged. The following is the official account of the rob bery sent from hers to headquarters in St. Louis: Train No. 1 going south over the Cotton Belt road was ditched and the express car robbed at Haywood3 Spur, two miles south of Texarkana at 1230 a. u. The switch was thrown at the Spur and the engine and front trucks left the track. Six masked men went through the cars but did not mo lest anybody else on the train after the rob bery was efiected. The robbers took the en gineer, firemen and express messenger to tbe woods and shot the messenger three times in the hand, ear and arm. A tramp stealing a ride on the mail car was killed. The sheriff and posse went at once to the scene. No passengers or mail were robbed. ONE ARREST MADE. One arrest was made to-night in connec tion with the robbery, but tbe man has not been fully identified. In the afternoon $10, 000 in silver was taken from the Southern Express Company'? office up town and car ried to the depot. This was sent north, and it is supposed this was the boodle the robbers were after. Then the train went into tbe ditch. Conductor A. B. Snoyer ran forward to ascertain the cause. He was ordered to halt, and then he flashed a lan tern on the man who gave the command, only to find a Winchester muzzle in front of him. The conductor was very complac ent after he learned the cause of tbe trouble. There are several stories abont the way the messenger was shot. The first was that tbe robbers picked him out as described above and shot him, the other that a volley was fired at three men and only the messenger hit. Tbe last train robbery in this vicinity was the one at Genoa two years ago, ia which Rube Burrows figured. Express Agent Bnnn, of Memphis, ar rived this evening and reports that Nevlis was killed and that the robbers secured everything of value 'in the safe. A late special from Camden says the robbers placed obstructions on the track, in the shape of logs, deraijag the train, and that Nevlin was instantly killed.
