THE DANGER In THE DARK
Railroad Conductor ed and Robbed.

Just before daybresk, yestert az
morning, as the passenger train on the
Alabama, and Chattanooga Railroad,
which had stopped few moments at
Lea's Crossing, a station nine miles
froom Chattanooga, was getting in
molten, the conductor was assaulted
OH the platform of the car on which
he was standing, by two desperadoes,
and knocked off on the ground. The
train, by this time, was under way
and proceeding rapidly, the engineer
unaware of the assault on the cOnduc-
tor. After running three miles the alb
scence of the conductor was discovered
and the train was then backed to LEAFS
Crossing in search of him. The UNI
fortunate man was fnund lying on the
ground, stunned and badly beaten.
The villains had robbed him of every
thing valuable about his person. The
unfortunate man was taken care of,
and on the arrival of the train infor-
nation of the outrage was given to the

the woman acknowledged that a myster,
hangs over the supposed suicide Of the

very free to connect with the Freemasons
Since Mrs. Fairs conviction her counsel
consider IT an ugly sign that she should
make such assertions, there being in them
something almost as sensational as the
disappearance Of Morgan. It seems that
while, long ago, she was seated in Mr..
Murphys office, waiting to consult with
him in regard to her divorce, she stepped
TO the door, and quietly shot Mr.. Far.

nonchaance as she did when she killed
Mr.. Crittenden. She escaped, and con-
veniently it was said that Col. Fair had
committed suicide. Whatever informal
ties there may have been in her recent
trial, one cannot help believing that she is
a most desperate woman, or hoping that
lntormalities may not interfere with her
