of the U* une t ^ ie passengers were repeatedly or-

and which order it seems they religiously
obeyed, all of them however hiding
their money as best they could. After
robbing the car the highwaymen com
pelled the fireman to cut the engine loose
from the train, and getting on the tender
and engine they pulled out. The num
ber of robbers lias been variously esti
mated, but the probability is that they
were about five in number.
The engine was found this morning
near Argyle, about 14 miles from where
with the white draperies * and green
ferns, the beautiful young ladies arrayed

The Amount Stolen.
It lias been ascertained definitely that
the amount taken from the express safe
by the' robbers day before yesterday was
$1,222. The robbers were five in num
ber. If they had a fair divide that got
$244.40 each. Very small pay for such
a big risk.
A Kansas man has left the populist
party on the ground that it “is run
by lawyers without clients, by doc
tors without patients, by preachers
without pulpits, by women without
husbandt, by farmers without farms,
by financiers without finance, by ed
ucators without education, by states
men out of a job.”
Lost Yesterday Afternoon.
A pair of gold glasses, in a ease, with
steel chain and pin attachment. The
glasses were lost in Paralell street lane
in old Waycross. The finder will confer
a favor and be rewarded by returning
the same to this office or to Mrs. Julia

The attendants were‘Mr. "YYurJ Al
bertson and the bride's sV.er, Miss Bob
Lie C’ook, and Mr. C. E. Murrphy mid
Miss Le x Count. The hride’s-niaids
dresses were of white organdie. Only
the relatives of the family were present
to witness the ceremony. The happy
couple left on the 9:30 train for Chatta
nooga, Lookout Mountain, and other
points before returning to Hot Springs,
where they will make their home. They
carry with them the best wishes of their
many frsends here for a long and very
happy and prosperous future. The pres
ents were manv and handsome.
A FALSE REPORT.
the robbery was committed. It is not I d'lie bride was very l
knotfn at what point the robbers left the j dress oi white satin, with
engine, but i.t,is thought they maje their !
way to the Okeefinokee swamp, which is
only a few miles distant from the point
where the train was stopj eJ. The train
was in charge of conductor Farris and
engineer Jenkins. ^
The conductor went through the pass
enger coach in search of weapons, but
could find nothing with which a fight
cohid be made. The manner in which*
the robbery w as conducted shows plainly
that the robbers understood their busi-
nesss, and that they had a mail -among
them who knew how* to run an engine.
Jim Gassett, of Waycross, was in the
smoking car, and having put his head
out of the window to see what was going
on, he was ordered to take it in quick,
which he proceeded to do. Very soon
after the robbers left, engineer Jenkins
followed them on foot and found the en
gine as we fhave stated, fourteen miles
down the road. One of the robbers is
described as a very tall man with red
whiskers, some of the others were short
and stout, and they were all disguised.
EXCITEMENT AT WAYCROSS.
When Ihe news of the robbery reached
Waycross this morning the excitement
was great An extra was at once sent
to Walteitown for the hounds. McRee’s
dogs were also telegraphed for. Sheri ft'
Miller and the railroad officials organ
ized a posse of 40 or 50 men, armed with
pistols, Winchesters, etc., and at about
half-past seven o’cl*.*ck an extra carried
them to the scene of action. Up to the
honr of going to press nothing has been
heard from the party, and it will 5:30
this afternoon before a train comes from
that direction. The railroad hand:

your paper of the 16th inst, an account
of the horrible death of a negro fiend—

Atlanta Journal) for an assault on the
daughter of Moses Herring of Pierce
county. There has been no such crime
committed. I have had an interview
with Mr. Herring and he denounces the

the report as false, and demand of the
reporter, Homer Reed, his authority for
the statement.
