A RE0 LANTERN WAS SWINGING To Indicate Danger, But the Engineer Saw Men With Gleaming Pistols in (land and Pat on More Steam and Left Them, Atlanta, Aug. 10.—(Special.)^It is .under stood that a bold attempt was made by four men to hold up No. 36 vestibule train fiear Mount Airy early .this morn ing. The train was en route to Atlanta, and was running at a fearrul rate of speed. When rounding a curvd near Mount Airy, the engineer’s attention was attracted by a red lantern which was be ing waved on the track ahead of his train. He at once put on breaks and kept his eye out for danger. As he neared the men, however, he saw that the light used was not the regulation red danger signal, but a.white lantern with a piece of red flannel tied around the globe. This aroused the engineer's suspicions, and he eyed the men cautiously.' As the engine continued to advance tbe engineer saw four heavy pistols gleaming in the hands of the men. As quick as a tla?h he threw the throttle wide open, and the train rushed by the' would-bo robbers at such a speed that they were afraid to board. Several shots were fired at the fleeing locomotive, but no apparent dam age was done. / The Southern Railway people are very reticent, and further details or the occur rence could not be obtained. TO OPEN THE CAMPAIGN. Atlanta, Aug. 10.—(Special.)—Chairman Clay of the Democratic executive com mittee and Chairman Berner of the cam paign committee are preparing to wage war against the Populists in every county •f the state. There will tie no ict-up until an overwhelming vic.ory w achieved. They w'll give special attai.Hon to lec tion* where Populism has paired a strong foothold, and the state at large will be flooded with the best stump speakers that can be secured. A big rally will be held at Douglasvllle on the first Tuesday in September. One of the features of the occasion will be a grand barbecue. Governor-elect Oates of Alabama will be present, besides a targe array or other* distinguished speakers. On Monday night, the 13th, there will be a rally at Norcross, at which District Attorney Joe James and Col. George well will speak. Mr. Atkinson will also go on the stump, his first appointment being at Meriwether on the 23d. The. prospects of an overwhelming victory is upparent everywhere. SUICIDE OF A SOLDIER. Atlanta, Aug. 10.—This city wns shocked by a terrible suicide whlcn occurred at Mcpbersonis barracks at ,tVM o-cio^K this morning. Tho victim was Corporal w. J Harris of Battery E, Third urtiUery.

Atlanta, Aug. 10.—The mayoralty ques tion Is still agitating Atlanta. Tho ef fort to harmonize matters made by »ho committee of 100 by recommending Porter King's election, nas been a failure. Mr. King has strong opposition, and It bus culminated In the candidacy of Mr. O. V. Gross, who will announce tomorrow morn ing. This guarantees u strong political campaign, and it will no doubt work great Injury to the exposition in dividing the people and Injecting a spirit of hos tility. THAT APPROPRIATION. Atlanta, Aug. lO.-lBofJ »».)-Atlanta is all aglonv with enthusiasm. A dispatch from Washington announced the passage or tlic exposition bill by the nouse at 230 this afternoon. The bill Is now certain to become a law. This morning gloom was on the face of every Atlantlan. Real estate, even, was beginning to depreciate In consequence of the dangers that menaced the appropria tion for the exposition. It is a well Known fact that there would be no exposition if the effort to get government aid lulled. - BASEBALL IN THOM ASTON. . Griffin's Team Defeated In e. Series of Games by Tnomasfton. Thomaston, Aug. 10.—(Special.)-- Baseall enthusiasts have been wild here this week. The long looked for games between Griffin and Tfcomaaton have been played and our home boys have carried off the laurels of the games. On “Wednesday the two teams met on our grounds, and both from the record of the players and th* positions assigned ‘them on the diamond we were assured of a fine aeries of games. The first game was played with Ward and Forrest fts the battery for our team and Davis and Hall for the visitors. Ward's excellent work, well supported by his skilled catcher and eager field ers, won the game for the home boys by a score of 13 to 8. The main feature of the game was a triple play by Thompson to Weaver of the home team, when three of the visitors were on buses and no one out. This was tbe nicest piece of,work we have ever seen on Che diamond. Tbe batting of both teams was good. The home runs by Wlthop, Thompson and Forrest of the home team and Hail of the visitors were good features of the game. The visitors played good ball, but were out played by our team. Thursday the second game was pVryed, with Searcy in the box and Hall oatchlng him for the visitors. The home boys put up Baldwin In the box and Forrest behind the bat. This game was conceded to Griffin by the spectator*, and for a while it seemed that they would win, being for some time In the lead by os many os four runs, but the home boys soon milled from this and soon caught on to Sear cy’s curves, and time and again they sent the Wttle sphere to seek cooler breezes far beyond the reach of the visitor's outfield. This rattled the boys and very soon it was discovered that the home boys -were twelve runs in advance, which made tbe score result as* follows: Thomaston 24. Griffin 12.
