WASHINGTON GAZETTE FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1885. SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 AN AUDACIO '(ATTEMPT. To lUbPar (Jar of (hr Hichma n A and DaiiYille Itoail In Allavla. (Cor. Mai-on '(.lagraph.) One of tlio most bold and auda cious robberies ever known in this country perhaps, was attempted here this morning and barely tailed of suc cess. It lias put Atlanta agog, and stirred up a large corps of able detec tive*. Yesterday evening Paymaster G re set' of the Air-Line railroad, reached here with $30,000 In currency, and he was to start out out on the road this morning and pay off, the employes along the road from Atlanta to Rich mond. His pay ear, and supply ear the later in front, were side tracked near the Pryor street crossing within forty yards of the depot, ready to start out (ids morning. About t o’clock tills morning a gravel engine belonging to the Georgia railroad, backed up gently to tlie paymaster’s train, coupled and pulled out on the main track of tlie Georgia road. 11c foro the train reached Kirwood, the first station, paymaster Groser, who was asleep in Ids ear, and Patrick Ward, a negro porter, were wakened by the motion, and could not under stand what the matter was. At Kirk wood the water in the engip|gave out or something happened to the engine, which tlio parties on the cab could not manage, and the train stopped. Paymaster Groser leaped olf and started to (he engine to soc what was being done. Hemet one of the men coming and asked what lie wn# doing, lie said he was taking the train to Bollwood junction to begin paying off. The paymaster responded that it was to early for that and again demanded what lie was doing. The man replied with an oath: “You know ghat we want—that money—and we * vo going to get it.’’ The paymaster -aped on his car, told the porter, who lmd a pistol, to stand liis ground and not let anybody get on the ear or dis turb any thing whilo he wont for as sistance. He leaped and ran a short distance off to some house near the station for help. While ho was gone the •robbers got the train started again anil pulled out a tew yards, when they uncoupled from the pay car and ran or fifteen or twenty yards andcatml back with full steam with the Intention of brenking in the front end of the pay ear. In this reckless scheme there was a miscalculation. The collision damaged the pay oar, lint ditched 'lie engine. The robbers then became alarmed and tied. The paymaster succeeded In arous ing Messrs. C. P. Wctherbe, Sam and K. F. Swann, who live at Kirkwood. The party hastened to tho scene, well armed, but when they arrived the bold, bad robbers, had disappeared, the supply and pay ear, the tretmue, tho negro porter, and the ditched en gine were all there. The flreman of the IVndletcn Guano 'Works, was called up and arter a short time he succeeded In getting the engine in condition to pull hack to tho oily wlnedt was done without delay. Here the alarm was given, and plans im mediately put in operation for the capture of the rob hors. Chief Conolly used the telephone to Decatur and icari.ed that a suspicions looking Whiteman had gone on the Georgia train there tins morning, lie had been overheard talking with a negro atj the station about an accident to an engine between Decatur, and At lanta, nut when approached and questioned, he was very evasive and would not talk. His conduct excited suspicion. The chief telegraphed a description of tho man to tho couduo tor of the outgoing Georgia train, with instructions to place him under arrest, and send hack to Atlanta. De tective BUI Jones was on the train aod arrested the man whan tho train reached Convert and brought him to Atlanta. They readied hero at one 'Liock, and the prisoner was locked fry,. He proved to be a notorious tkaraeter named James Noian who Was already wanted here by liio authorities under a warrant for a cutting scrape, tie denies having any complicity in the robbery or knowing anything about it. Know ing ones on the detective corps assert that they have a duo to the real rob bers. Tho development I will send you later. They think possibly Nolan may have had some connection with it. a* ho was seen near the depot here last night watching the pay car, but they think they know the parlies who rati off the train, and will liaye them befote midnight. To save SIO,OOO a year in the Inte rior Department, Secretary I„aniar bus discontinued the use of gold pens. THE SAFEST PLAN. There is no particular reason.prob ably for thinking tha |£t Norwe gian bark Erbin, from Valencia, .Spain, and now at Sopelo quarantine station, is a source of danger. She wi.s many days at sea. and there was no siokness on board, and when she arrived on our coast her crew was found to bo in a healthy condition. llowover, she was very wisely sent to tlie quarantine station, anil it rho health officers are as cautious as they ought to he they will not permit her to enter any port in this country as long as the hot weather continues. A determination of this kiutl might bo regarded as i cry unjust to thoso who are interested in the vessel, but it is much bolter that a few person* should be required to make u pecun iary sacrifice than that the slightest risk of introducing cholera into this country should bo taken. So little is known about cholera that opinion* as to the circumstances that would justify the admission of a vessel from an infected port to one of our ports isn't worth very much. In dealing with cholera and yellow fe ver we are still in the experimental period. What seems to be tlio proper tiling to he done to-day may bo de cided to-morrow to lie the tiling that ought not tn have been done. Wlille the prohabil'ty Is that the hark Erbin is wholly freetrom chole ra infection, there U just a chance thut site is not, and prudence dictates that no risk should he taken. In a report our Consul at Marseilles, Frank 11. Mason, gives some curi ous instance/! of how the cholera was spread in France last year. In July a man left otic of tlio worst afflicted quarters of Marseilles, and visited his native village of Vogue. He remained there in perfect health ; lie opened Ids trunk, anil wore a suit of clothing that had been pn< ked at Marseille*. He was almost immediately attacked with the cholera. The discaso that was carried in that suit of clothes killed oiio-len'.li of tlio people of Vogue. Mr. Mason says that there is no lougcr any doubt that the disease was Marseilles last year from Toulon in tlie clothing of a young student. Cholera contagion is diffused in water as readily is in clothing. On July 10, last year, saysC’ouiil Mason, a young servant girl arrived at Umer gues, n village in the department of Bases-Aplos, France. She had been at service in Marseille*. She washed some linen, which had been in eon tact wit'n a cholera patient, in a creek from which tlio valley draws its sup ply of water. The whole valley was stricken with the disease, and one tenth of the population died. These two cases show how extreme ly careful it is necessary to he In or der to insure immunity from tho dreadful scourge. Who is prepared to say that there la no clothing on tiie Erbin that has never been exposed to cholera? Tlio wisest plan for health authorities of thin country to pursue Is to refuse admission to our ports to all vessols from ports infectod with tlio cholera.—bavaitunh News. TROUBLE OVER A COLORED MAN. A colored man named Green, who was tlio cause ot a controversy, be tween ox-Sooretary Lincoln and Gen. Ilazen about one-vear ago, has turned tip again. At that time Hazcu doelltied to enlist Green in the signal corps on the ground that regiments of calvary and Infantry had boon set apart for colored soldiers, but not tho signal corps. Secretary Lincoln ordered his enlistment in that corps, provided lie could pass the re quisite examination. He passed the examination and was sent to Fort Myer to enter a regular course of in struction. 11c performed all the du ties acceptably, and with the other members of Ida class recently became eligible for station duty. Tho signal service observer at Pensacola asked for an assistant and was told that one would boaeut. Ho procund for him rooms and board in his own boarding place and made oilier arrangements to receive him. Green was the man selected as assistant ami was sent to Pensacola. On ids arrival the signal service officer refused to receive hint because of his color. Tho officer lias been summoned to Wash 1 ngton to make an explanation. The colored mail remains in cliargo of tho office at Pensacola. It is stated at the sig nal office that Green was assigned to do duty at Pensaeolo without any re- I gard to his color, and that tho officer who selected him did not know at tho time that he was colored.

The government has been invariably I worsted in Indian wars, and after the shedding of much blood and the spending of millions of money, has had to make new treaties with the In dians. In (lie midst of a civliaiztion that is marked by peace and quiet, it is not easy always to sympathize with the vie vof the settlers whose seap is in constant danger, that the best Indian is a dead one. In the present ease, the same old cause of trouble is alleged, viz.: The Indian trader and agents have swin dled and cheated the Indiana. There is much truth in this, so much indeed that the country is never shocked to hoar of the murder of an Indian agent or trader. The Cheyennes are now singing war songs apt) arc putting on paint and feathers. They are mad and armed, and have plenty of amu nit ion. The government has ordered the army to disarm the Indians. This is a difficult job. A man with a re peating rifle, a supply of cartridges and u gcod horse will not turret tier easily. There are 1,500 Cheyennes in this fix. A* the army is not now en gaged in managing Southern election* it tnay be able to obey this order. General Sheridan R ordered to the command. But perhaps he tnay burn the Indians out. He is wonder dcrfnl with a torch. But perhaps he has supplied himself at Chicago with a dozen or so of confludciit small pox cases in the early stage of the dis ease. As he desired to destroy, the. Poi gans by this scourge, he may lev It on the Cheyennes. The situation is alarming to the lam Pies of settler* In the West, and tiler* maybe much of butchery and bloodshed. Many sagacious people hold that tho Indians should he turnerd over to the War Department. We are In clined to concur in this. The wild Indiana could better he watched and controlled by the army, and the sol diers have hut little more use for In- Mian traders and agents than the In dian themselves. The taiuo Indians will do very well If fairly aod justly treated. The navy has had an opportunity to display it self and Secretary Whitney has been equal to the occasalon. Secretary Fn dicott and the army are now ou trial. —Macon Telegraph. ENGLAND'S GREAT INIOUITY. The Pall Mull Gazette of Loudon, ha* just shaken Unfit lid to its foun dations ami the shock lias been fell by tho English-speaking people to the uttermost parts of the earth. It* edi tor, Mr. Stead Ita* had the manhood and tho bravery to make a dauntless oitslaugli against the greatest of of all silts, the traffic in young girl* for im moral purpose*, so common England, and he has tho plaudits of the world for his courage and tho vigor with wltic’i ho has proeoculcd hi* under taking. It required the greater cour age because the wealth and the nobil ity (God save the name) are principal ly engaged i it this great iniquity. No people on earth have a higher sense of the honor of woman thau the people ol our Southern land, and no where else w ill the noble course of tho PhII Mall Gazelle meet with greater praise. It is tho common law of our land that tho next of kin or any man who may assume lbo pro tection of a woman, may without the slightest compunction, shoot down a vile seducer a* he would a dog: a ltd the princes amt’‘nobles"of England would litre badly in their villainous traffic in this part of tho world. The strong arm of tho press was never weildcd in a grander cause nor more powerfully than it is now being weildcd by the Pall Mall Gazelle. EMIGRATION. Col. D. C. Barrow, a prominent goutlemnn of Oglethrope county, is thoroughly aroused ou the subject of emigration and thinks the state of Goergia should take tho matter in Ita da id liko other state, appoint a bureau emigration whose busiuess it is to show to tho emigrants that come to this country to live the advantages of Georgia. The last agricultural connention passed resolutions memo rializing the legislature to establish a bureau of emigration and he thinks this mattei should be attended to at once. The legislature could not do a better thing than to invite good, hon est labor to our state. There are land owners hero that own thouands of acres of land that they want to sell to men who will como here and farm. Let this quosMon of emigration be agitated ami tlio Georgia legislature start the ball in motion, and in less than two years there will be plenty of people come here to live and build up the lluest country in the United States —Athens Banner. JEERING KENTUCKIANS The Troops Complain of Bad Treatment in the Quaker city. • (From the New York .lersld] Member* of the Castleman Light Artillery, of Lexington, make vigor ous complaint of having been repeat edly and wantonly insulted at the late Philadelphia drill. They claim to have been jeered and hooted at with with cries of "Rebel!” ‘‘Rats!’’ and other equally insulting word*. Opt. McPherson, of Company A, Louis ville Legion to this said to your cor respondent to-night that while he did not hear these orsituiliar jeers, yet the very iinpohte treatment accorded the Southern companies there was on a level with such rowdysim. None of this had behavior had a source among the member* of the military companies, but came from all classes of civilians ot Philadelphia. There was no cheer* for the boys in rank from the spectators, but sneering re ferences about “the war.” Tho peo ple there did not turn out amt gi.e Hie encampment financial help, as would have been done in Louisville and oilier cities. Instead, on July 4, when 5.00 C people were present, at least 1,000 of them broke down the fence and stamped the ground*. On other occasions very few were pres ent, ami on Hie day that tlie Louis ville* drilled they had but about fifty spectators,and they were acquaintance of the member*. Capl M.Piiprson at tributes this hostility to the Philadel phia Press and others of that city, whose grievances, he says he grew from jestousy. Having failed to buy ou* the interest of Gov, Underwood in the project when It gave* promise of certain success, they idled to make it a failure. The further allegation is made that when the hand was asked to play “Dlxio” Inc request was met with the reply by the leader that if he played any Southern air lie would be discharged. THE REV.
