The Election in Richmond.

RICHMOND, May 27.-The municipal cleo
ton here is progressing quietly although
there is considerable excitement from the
fact that there is split in the democratic
party, the boilers or workngmen having
formed a coalition with the republicans
under the name of "reformers." A heavy
vote is being polled, and as far as can be
ascertained, the indications are that the
reformers will elect number of councilmen
and aldermen-probably twenty-five per
cent of them. The only contest for the city
offices voted for to-day is between N. NJ
Lee (democrat) and J. c. Smith reform
err for City Sergeant. The friends of both
have been and are doing hard work, and
Smiths friends are confident of success.

AvERsE TO EvOLUTION.-Much of the
time of the General Assembly OF the South
ern Presbyterian Church, now in session il
Augusta, Ga, was consumed yesterday in
discussing the evolution theory, alleged TO
b., held by Dr.. Woodrow and others. The
question was whether the Assembly should
adopt the majority report of the committee
appointed to Investigate the opinions sd
vanced, or that OF the minority. The former
,epudiates tho theory, while the latter
favors pastoral letter on the subject. Some
ministers were in favor of settling the mat
ter at oncs aud eilcc.ually by adopting the
views expressed by the majority of the
committee, and others, equally as earnest,
protested against such action, asserting that
the Assembly would be rent and split in
consequence. The majority report, how
ever, was adopted. 1t is as follows:
"ro the several overtures on the subject
of the evolution of man sent up by the
Presbyteres the General Assembly returns

TIE Rock Island Express Robbery and Murder
CHICAGO. May 27.-A local paper prints
this morning long article regarding the
Rock Island Express robbery and murder
of March 13. 1t sets forth that two men,
named Connors and Mccoy, have been ar,
rested as the principals in the crime and are
now being held either in Joliet or this city,
pending the arrest of a third person, or q
confession from one or the other of the
prisoners. The arrests, 1t is said, were
made on the basis of statement from q
convict named Plunkett, now confined in
the Indiana penitentiary, at Michigan city,
Indiana, der the name of James Wilson
His story was that last fall he attended the
Wenona Illinois fair in company with John
Commons, Butcher" Mccoy, and third
person, who was called Jeff" They all
went from Peoria, that city being the home
of Connors, Mccoy and Piunkett. At this
time, according to Plunkett, plan was
devised to hold up the Rock Island road
that coming winter ut or near Morris. The
intention YVES to seize the express messen-
ger and rob his safe. Plunkett's part was to
poiut pistol at the messenger and keep
him quiet, while the others opened the safe
and got the contents. They were all famil-
lar with the road, having worked along the
line and knew just the best place to board
and leave the train. Having thus nrrang-
ed for the fall campaign they parted. Punk
EFT went to Indianapolis shortly after, where
he soon got into trouble and was sent to the
penitentiary for larceny. Soon after hear.
ing of the robbery he sent word to outsiders
that he knew who did the job, and his
broLher-in-law visited him and heard the
story which Is told above. The railroad
company put their detectives on the trail
and the arrest of Connors anil Mccoy
has been effected. 1t Is understood
that the wife Of farmer near York
vile, ILL.,, has identified their photographs
as being likent sses is of the two men she fed
the Sunday morning after tho robbery. 1t
Is not known that any evidence has been
found to connect these men with the crime
beyond the story of the convict and their
genera! bad reputation.
