Stopped on the Trestle Over the Tuscumbia River. A Nervy Robber Makes the Engineer Batter Open the Express Door, Disarms the Messenger Gets His Plunder and Skips. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 3. —At 10 o’clock last night the north bound 1 passenger train on the Montgomery . and Mobile division of the Louis ville and Nashville road, was boarded by a train robber near Thome#ton, Ala. The robber, who was on the engine, ordered the engineer to stop on the trestle over the Tuscumbia river. When the train stopped, the robber made the engineer go, at the points of two pistols, and batter in the door of the express car. Th« messenger was disarmed and forced to open the safe and empty its con tents into a sack furnished by the robber. During the time occupied in the robbery, the robber tired a dozen or more shots, creating the im pression that t he train was attacked by a large band. His plunder is not great, as the express company does not send large sums of money on night trains. The countrj’ in the locality in which the robbery took place is beisg scoured to day for the robber. It is evident that there was only one man engaged in the job. INVESTIGATING THE STRIKE. New York, Sept. 3. —At 10 o’clock the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration began the investigation into the strike on the New York Cen tral railroad.

More than fifty witnesses have already subpoenaed by the Knights. Messrs Devlin and Wright, after a careful inspection of the Hudson River rail road freight service from Albany to Buffalo, assert that the blockade grows steadily more formidable and I that the company is losing thousands I of dollars daily. READY To SIT ON CANNON. Chicago, Sept. 3.—A Herald spec ial says the effects of the speeches in congress on 'Wednesday last by con gressman Cannon and the disgraceful scene following have just begun to be felt throughout his home district. Both republicans ami democrats alike censure him in strong language and the bad break tic made will cost him a great many votes among the better class of people who feel that, the Fifteenth district has been disgraced and humiliated by its Reprcsenative. The outlook at present is that he will loose every countv in bis dis trict but one, and the majority in that will be greatly reduced. There are fourteen republican newspapers in this district that refuse to support Cannon, and they have a wide in fluence. CHARGED WITH PERJURY. Bath, N. Y., Sept. 3.—A great sen sation has been created by the arrest on the charge of perjury of James O. Sebring, a well known democratic politician and and able lawyer of Hammonsport.

The Mallory line steamer, the State of Texas, left at 7:30 o’clock this morning for Fernandina. The Mallory line steamer, State of Texas, came into port last night with large cargo of freight onboard. Alaggie Belle, the steamer plying on the Altamaha river, arrived at St. Simon’s dock at 7 o’clock this morning. # A runaway mule on Carpenter street created some excitement this morning about ten o’clock Fortu nately no damage was done or any one hurt. The Boulevard is quite a popular thoroughfare. Every afternoon it is thronged with buggies and carriages containing people who want a whiff of the sea breeze. A buglar attempted to break into the residence of Rosa Thompson, a negress residing in Hell’s Half Acre, last night. He was frightened away before accomplishing his pur pose. POLICE NEWS. This morning's session of the Po lice court was long und veiy tedious. The first cases called were those against Kittie Smith and Alinnie Williams. They were found guilty ot disorderly conduct and fined five dollars each. Dave Aliddleton was also fined five dollars for the same offense. George Jacoby. Frank Gardner and Sam Perkins were fined five dol lars each for engaging in a fight. Louis Beach was sentenced t<> pay a fine of three dollars for the same offence. A fine of ten dollars was imposed upon W. A. Hull for creating a dis turbance on Newcastle street last night. Rose Jackson was fined one dollar for contempt of court. She had been summoned as a witness in the case against Charlie Driver but not deem ing a summons of any great impor tance she failed to put in her ap pearance when called. She will know better next time. Amelia Smith and Arthur Jolin became involved in an altercation last night which resulted in their being arrested found guilty and fined five dollars apiece this morning by Recorder Whitfield. The court paid city Solicitor Sparks a very high compliment for the able manner in which he conduc ted one of the trials this morning. The fact is Air. Sparks is one of the very best attorneys in the city. The case against Driver was dis missed also the case against Henry Simmons through technicalities. Both arc notorious in police circles and will doubtless come up again without such luck attending them. LATEST STYLE. o THE CELEBRATED DUNLAP HAT ! o Cull and see them at Jas. S. Wright’s.
