special Correspondence OF Inc Appeal.
BROWNSVILLE, September 30.-Mr. James
B. Hswes of Tarrytown, N. Y, writes to a
number of prominent citizens here that he
may possibly rebuild the old Holly Springs,
Brownsville and Ohio railroad. This is the
concern, it will be remembered, in which
this unlucky town sunk 30 much OF her
maiden credit. But the building of the road
depends upon many contingencies, at which
Mr.. Halves in his letter but too plainly hints.
1t would be wise, therefore, to build no air
castles over the matter. The gentleman al
ready owns the road-bed and right of way.
He is moneyed an, too, and able to negoti-
ate loan perhaps, crumbs of comfort not
to be sneezed at.

were married here last Wednesday night at

John Williams officiating.

Daring Train Robbery.

DENVER, Col, October Full particu-
lars of the train robbery at Granada, COL
Saturday night, received here yesterday are
as ollows: While the wsst-bound train was
sid-tracked to allow the east-bound train to
pas, two men mounted the engine with
dr,wn revoIvers, compelled the engineer to
rui the train a mile and half out of town,
where fifteen men with revolvers took pos
session of the entire train. The only shots
fred were at Conductor Does, who had gone
forward 10 learn why the train had stopped.
The conductor ran back into the smoking
car, where the sheriff and deputy sheriff
from Ration, also the sheriff from Las Vegas
were. They drew revolvers, which saved
the passengers from losing valuables. The
ROBBERS then robbed the express car of $500
in money, ordered the engineer put off, got
on their horses which we're hitched near by
and departed. A safe in the rear car con-
tanning $4,000 was not molested. A posse
of citizens are in pursuit of the robbers.

No man in Tennessee is more familiar
with the State debt question than Mr.. Brown.
He has studied the subject thoroughly and
has the figures on every point at his COM
mand. As a member OF the Legislature, his
career was altogether honorable, unsel6sh and
devoted to the promotion of the public well
fare. II nominated by the Convention to-
morrow he will prove strong and popular
candidate, and if elected make an efficient
member, as he is a man of talents and emf
