Robbery of the Southern Express MesseH.
ger near Meridian, Miss

The Jackson Pilot has learned of
the robbery of the safe of the Southern
Express Company, on board OF a
Southwark bound train on the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad, last Sundy morn
ing, when within a short distance of
Meridian. The Pilot says:
It appears that the train from the
North, and due at Meridian at about
2 am, had an express safe OF the
Southern Express Company on board,
containing about $4,000 in currency,
for different parties. When within
short distance OF Meridian two men
were seen to jump from the train, but
no attention was paid to the fact until
the express messenger aWoke and
went to assOrt his packages. Then he
says he discovered the loss of his
money, envelopes, safe and all. He
says he had been asleep during the
last run OF about eighteen miles, and
denies all knowledge of the transac-
ton.
As soon as possible search was made
for the missing safe by the messenger
and officers Of the Express Company.
After some hours had elapsed the
broken and empty safe was found in
the woods. 1t had evidently been
thrown off the car, then dragged to
some underbrush and there forced
open with the head of an axe. The
occupants OF a cabin near by stated
that two men had come to their place
in the night and borrowed their axe,
giving some excuse, and it was this in
strument with which the iron chest
had been broken in.
There has been no trace of the rob-
bers discovered. No suspicion seems
to attach to the messenger or the men
connected with the train.

KU-KLUx IN MASSACHUSETTS,.
A Woman Tarred and Feathered by the
Saints Of New England.

The Springfield Mass Republican
has the following account OF a coward
ly outrage perpetrated upon woman
by a gang of ruffians. Could such q
thing occur in any country unblessed
with the high moral ideas of Massa-
chusetts? We think not, and are very
sure that nothing Of the sort could
happen in this land of darkness and
savagery. The Republican says:
Justice Davis, of Greenfield, on Sat-
urday, held Henry Wright, George O.
Nelson, Mervin Marcy and Thomas
Marcy, of CharlemOnt, for their out
rageous assault on Mrs. Laura A.
Harris, OF that town, whom they
meant to punish for adultery. Mrs.
Harris' testimony was that on the
evening of the 18th of April, while she
was sitting st the chamber window Of
Ia the street. Masked men knocked
at the door, and then entered through
the cellar, after being told by the hus-
band that il they did 80 il would be at
their peril. Harris was seized and
bound, although he was armed with a
revolver, and the chamber door was
broken down with an ak, by four or
five of the ringleaders. Mrs. Harris
was found behind a bureau, dragged
out and down into the street. Her
hands were tied behind her, and her
mouth covered TO smother her cries
of murder" She was carried into a
field, held upon the ground, her stock
ings hauled of, her clothes thrown
ovar hpr head and hpr DprSOu from
her waist down, smeared with tar and
feathers; tar was also poured from q
pan upon her head. She begged them
to let her go, promising to leave town
if they would DO SO, and she was
finally left in the field, and allowed to
90 home.

'iThe Availability Of ChlorOiorm

ture delivered before the MedicO Le-

Stephen Rogers, the speaker, took the
ground that chlOTOfOrm cannot be ef-

He believed that no well authentica-

numerous cases in which burglaries,
said to have been effected by its aid,
proved afterw6rd to have been facili-
tated by the very unCOrruptible guar

WONDERFUL.
Judge Busteed, Of Alabama, a Notorious
Radical CarPet-bagger, Tells the Truth.

WAsHINGTON. December 23.-Judge
Busteed, of Alabama, was examined
to-day by the Ku-Klux Commission
ers. He said he did not believe that
any such organization as Ku-Klux
existed in Alabama, and he thought
thst person and property were as safe
there as in any State in the Union.
Having been questioned as to the tes-
timOny of Rev. Mr.. Laken, parts of
which we're read to him, ne said it
was entirely untrue. Laken had rep
resented that thirty three indictments
had been found and tried in
Busteed's court for violation Of the
Civil Rights bill, but the truth was only
one Indictment had been found and
that had not yet been tried. In reply
to a question, he said he knew man
named Allard Warner, who applied
for exemption from jury duty in his
court in the year 1867 or 1868 on the
ground that he, Warner, was a Sena-
tor from the State OF Ohio at that
time.
