More Train Robbers Taken in,

LITTLE Rock, Sept. SO.-Further in.
formation from Hope, states that there
is no question as to the identity of the
three men arrested for train robbery on
the Iron Mountain road, on the night
Of the 22nd. The leader of the gang
is Cox; he is apparently Is Years
of age, and evidently shrewd william
and a desperate fellow. His com.
panions are two COW boys from Texas
named Stephen and Delaney; aged IS
and 20 years.
Cox, when confronted by the two lat.
ter, declined to recognize them, declar.
ing never to have seen them before,
but they persisted in the statement that
Cox was the leader of the party. When
arrested Cox had photograph of
Stephens in his possession. Delaney
and Stephens were in the house when
the pursuing party came up and re-
fused to surrender Several shohwere
exchanged between the parties when
the pursuers threatened to burn
the house and this brought the rob.
bers to terms. They surrendered and
took their arrest with good nature Jest
ing about the scenes during the rob,
berry and the easy manner in which
they succeeded in the work.
A special to the Gazette, from Hope
says that at preliminary examination
held before a Justices court, at this
place, on the train robbers, their iden.
tity was established Leyond a doubt
by fourteen witnesses. They were
bound over in the sum Of
$1,000 each, to appear before
the grand jury. Governor Churchill
arrived here this morning, and an ef-
fort is now being made to induce
Judge Young to hold a special term Of
the circuit court to secure their convlc-
ton and sentence them Immediately.
The extreme punishment for robbery in
this state is Is pears in the peuiten.
tiary; robbery with assault is 81 years.
The robbers compelled the passengers
to deliver up at the point of a revolver.
They probably will be indicted for rob.
berry with assault and receive the full
limit of law, 81 years.

Going to Washington.

PIrrsBURG. Sept, Cool. Rockwell,
Major Swain, and Major Clapp, friends
of the late President Garfield, arrived
in this city from Cleveland, last night,
and missing connections remained over
till this morning, when they continued
their journey to Washington. In the
course of conversation with repor-
ter ,of the Commercial Gazette, Major
Swain said: "We accompanied Mrs.
Garfield, Grandma Garfield and the
children, and Private Secretary Brown,
to the old homestead at Mentor, on
Tuesday. We were met at the depot
by the Rudolfs, Mr.. Garfeld's relatives,
and were accompanied quietly to the
homestead. When we came in sight
of the old familiar spot Mrs. Garfield
was quite overcome for moment, but
soon recovered her composure and en-
tered the desolate home. Gen. Gar
fields study remains just as he left it,
and one of the Borrowing widows first
steps was to 60 in the room where she
had spent many happy hours. She is
gradually recovering from the blow.
Reporter-Has she made any plans
as for the future, Maj. Swain?
Mrs. Garfield said it was too early to
indicate where she will reside, but
thinks she will spend her summers at
Mentor in the old home, and in winter
time with her relatives in Cleveland,
where she will be near her husbands
remains; and part Of the time in Will
Jamestown, Mass, where she will be
near her eldest boys, Harry and Jim
my, while they are in attendance at
Williams college.
Reporter-When, will the boys go
back to the college?
They will leave for Williams college
on Friday night, or Saturday morning
of this week. Grandma Garfield, in
future will make her home with Mrs.
Garfield, whittier the bereaved wife
goes, the sorrowing mother will go.
The aged grandmother is very frail,
and will spend her last days with the
family of her dead son.
A reporter-Maj, statement has
been published in some papers, that
you intend to resign your position as
judge associate.
Maj. S.-That statement is in
correct. shall not tender my resigna-
ton.

Star Reuters.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29,-The star
route ring is demoralized. They feel
that lightning is about to strike them
but they don't know just how Or where
it will hit. Postmaster General james
and Attorney General McVeagh, have
got evidence enough, they are satisfied,
to convict the ring and there is to be
no delay in the prosecution. This
morning there was a conference held
at Arlington hall. There were present
Postmaster General James, Az
torney General MacVeagh, ex-Dls-
trict Attorney G. Bliss, B. H. Brewster,
and others who represent the prosecu-
ton. Bliss submitted the indictments
which he had carefully drawn against
Gen. Brady, Dorsey, ex-Auditor Nc
Grew. ex-Chief Clerk French, Sones-
bury, Gilmer. and other route contract
ors and benefciaries of the ring. Bliss
stated that after a thorough examine
ton of all the evidence, he had drawn
these indictments with great care, and
he would pledge his professional repu..
tation on their conviction. James and
MacVeagh approved the action Of
Bliss, and their indictments will be
placed Immediately in District Attor.
'ney Corkhills hands for presentment
to the grand jury. James, MacVeagh
and other officials engaged in this
prosecution have no confidence what
ever in District Attorney Corkhill, and
they make no secret of this fact. They
do not charge that Corkhill has
been influenced by any money con-
sideration to favor the star route
ring, but believe that social and per-
sonal relations, to say the least, so in
6uence him. All the officials con-
cerned in the prosecution maintain
that Corkhill has INSTRUCTED their pro-
gress from the first, and therefore 1t
was determined to prepare all the pa
.pers and put them in his hands, 50
that all that he will have to do with
them will be to submit them to the
grand jury.

abcesses or infections. On the left

to the diaphragm, by pretty firm
pleuritic adhesion. The left lung
weighed q. ounces; the condition Of its

Was very nearly the same as on the
right side. The chief differ
ence being that the area Of
broncho pneumonia in the lower
lobe was much less extensive in the
tleft lung than in the right. In the lat
ter part Of the left lung, and about an
inch from its plural surface, there was
