Another Democratic Misfortune.
IN. Y. Tribunel

A fresh misfortune has overtaken the Dem
ocrats OF Maine. The leading Prohibitionists
of the State have decided that it will be for
the best interests of their party to support the
Republican candidate for Governor, Colonel
Robie Although they have not said as much
formally, that is practically what their decis-
ion amounts to. A meeting Of "all friends OF
Temperance in Maine, who believe in the rig
i'd enforcement of the Maine Law, and are
willing to act together regardless of party az
fliation," was called Immediately after the
adjournment of the Republican Convention, to
meet at Portland. About thirty prominent
Prohibitiouists were present. Gen. Neal Dow
offered resolution approving the Republican
State ticket and recommending it to the sup
port of all friends Of prohibition. He support
ed this warmly, and an animated discussion
followed. While nearly all present were will
ing to support Colonel Robie, there were some
who were not willing to approve other candi-
dates on the ticket. The resolution was not
adopted, therefore, but after discussion OF
two hours the meeting adjourned sine die
Without action. Gen. Dow interprets this re-
suit as declaration by the Temperance lead
ers of Maine that they find no occasion for
independent action in the present situation.
This wise conclusion isgdue largely to Gen.
Dow's good sense, He knew that Colonel Ro-
bic had always been a consistent Prohibition
ist, and that his party would only impeach its
own sincerity by refusing to support him and
running separate ticket which could have
no other effect than to help the Democratic
party. The wisdom Of this course is Demon
strated already by the wrath of the Democrats.
Their newspapers are IL painful condition
of mind about Gen. Dow. One editor says he
received letter from respected correspon-
dent only a few days before the Prohibition
meeting in which the statement was made that
"Mr. Dow must be in his dotage" He struck
the sentence out and published the letter with
out it, thinking it was ''too harsh" He is
sorry he did it now, for sin view of the posi-
tion Mr. Dow took on Saturday, he has either
lost his mental grip, or he exhibits himself as
quite regardless of principle or consistency"
The Editor is even sad about the future OF the
Temperance cause, and is afraid it will perish.
The idea of Democrat weeping over disap-
pearance like that is very moving. Gen Dow
has evidently hit the bibulous Democracy in
tander snot

Brutal Conspiracy to Wreck and Rob an
Express Train-How One of the Gang Be-
trayed his Confederates.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 6.-Passengers who ar
rived tonight from the southern part of the
State, over the iron Mountain Railroad, bring
an account of an attempted train robbery, the
particulars of which are as follows:
Five men of the Jesse James sort banded
together and agreed to go into the traln-rob-
bing business. Having completed their ar
rangements they laid plans for their first job,
which was TO be the robbery of an express train
on the Iron Mountain Railway on the night Of
the 4th.
A few days previous to the date set for the
robbery one of the mon weakened" and con-
cluded to betray the gang. He went into the
town of Newport, Ark, and, going to the bank
there, gays the bank officers hint OF the con-
spiracy He was taken to the Town Marshal,
and that officer called in Detective Eagan, in
the employ of the railroad and to these two he
told the story. The plan in brief was to mis-
place the switch at Hillard's, six miles north
of Poplar Bluff wreck the train and during
the confusion the robbers were to do their work.
A plan was thea laid to catch the other four of
the gang The informant was instructed to go
ahead with his part OF the job and he did 50.
On the night of the Fourth the train that
was to be wrecked and robbed pulled out of
Poplar Bluff little after nine o'clock, but
just ahead of it went a locomotive with De-
tectivs Egan and posse of seven men arped
with shotguns To make long story short
the locomotive dashed by the open
switch and on to side track, but
stopped just before striking the Instructions,
and the posse made dash for the wou ld-be
robbers, who were so wrapped up in their dia-
bolical plot as to neglect to take precau tions
against capture The officers seized two of the
desperaooes. There were number of shots
fired, but SO far as known nobody was hurt.
The two men captured were taken to Poplar
Bluff and the country is being secured for the
rest of the gang.
The informant says the men captured were
recognized as living in the vicinity. One of
them is Charles Wilson, and gave his name as
Hery Myers, but though this is known to be
an alias the officials of the railroad and the
county officers are SO reticent that his real
name has not yet been made public. The men
so far have maintained a stubborn silence, re-
fusng to yive the least hint as to who their as
sociates are.
