THE EXPRESS ROBBERY.
The Testimony Which Is Believed to Have
Caused the Arrest of the Messenger.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-Among the testimony pre-
sented to the grand jury which found an indict-
ment for grand larceny and for receiving stolen
property against David S. Fotheringham, the
Adams Express messenger whose car was robbed
some two weeks ago on the ST. Louis s. San
Francisco road, was that of James Heffernan,
Wabash engineer and that of Thomas DIVER, an
employe of the express company and Fothering-
hams helper. Heffernan testified as follows 81
was In the Union Depot on the evening of Oct.
%, oiling my engine. My time to start was 8:25
P. NJ, but just as l was about to get away I no
ticed that the Frisco train was across my track.
OF course l could not move until the Frisco got
out of my way. The express car was almost di-
rectly opposite my cab window, and I noticed the
door OF the car was standing open. The mes
senger and his helper were inside, busy with
their duties. 1t was nearly time for the Frisco
train to start and Dwyer swung himself off the
car and went away. A minute or two later a
man came along with valise In his hand and
stopped directly under the electric light
and within few feet of my engine. He
answered Fotheriugharns description of the
robber, as far as l can remem Der, except that he
was couple OF inches or so shorter He wore
his hat well forward over his face, and I could
not MAKE out his features very clearly. He
asked me which was the Frisco train and I
pointed 1t out TO him. 1t was just NOV
ing away, and he ran alongside Of it until
he reached the express car. the door
of which was still standing open Ia yerv
unusual thing by the way), threw his valise
inside, reached up his hand and was pulled
up through the door into the car He could not
have jumped in without assistance, especially
with the train in motion, and believe Fother-
ingham helped him."
Thomas Dryers testimony corroborated the
engineers story, and it was on facts presented
by them, it is believed, that the indictments
were found.
"Jim Cummings" who. Fotheringham says.
committed the robbery, is carrying on a rather
voluminous correspondence for one in his posi-
tion. He first wrote to Frank James the ex-
bandit, then to the editor of a newspaper and
now to Fotheringham's mother, in closing to the
latter $50, which, he suggests. may be of use in
clearing her son of the suspicion now resting
upon him. All of these letters are in the hands
of the detectives

The Effect in the East.

OF the strike at the hog abattoir in the Hacken-

Thirty more butchers, in addition to the sixty of
this morning arrived here this afternoon from
New YORK, to take the places cf the strikers at
the hog abattoir on the Hackensack meadows.
The bosses are determined to resist the demands
OF the strikers and are rapidly filling their places.
This evening the strikers commenced to collect

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov 10-Downey, the only
butcher IN this city who would kill cattle for the
dressed beef firms, has refused to slaughter any
more for them. Agents of the dressed beef
houses are buying live cattle at West Albany as
individuals, and having them killed for them as
such. The Knights of Labor executive commit

beef firms or their agents, and it is thought that
by Tomorrow the agents will have difficulty, as
individuals, to get cattle slaughtered in this vi

day. In the latter part of July James Gallagher
returned to this city after an absence of six
years. to find mis- wife living with another man

Marriage Of Pretty Nun to Young Man of

OTTAWA, Ont, Nov 10-The announcements
is just made that a short time since a nun
known as Sister Colombo. who, with four other
nuns, was in charge of Catholic institution at
Temiseamingue, suddenly took her departure
and, arriving at Ottawa, was married to a young
man named La Ferriere. Il appears that young
La Ferriere was in the habit of frequently visit
ing the institution in which Sister Colombo
lived, to see young servant employed there,
ana to whom he appeared to be paying great at
tention Subsequent events have proved that
the young woman in question was only blind
as all the correspondence between La Ferriere
and SISTER Colombo passed through her hands.
The parish priests surprise can well be imagined
when ne was informed. on arising in the morn

MANCHESTER, N. H., Nov. 10-The misspell-

the election warrant illegal and that the
forms of law were not followed in the posting Of
it. This is sufficient to invadate the election
If established it would result in the election of
Mr. Sawyer, Rep, to the governorship by the
people; in the reelection of Congressman
Haynes, in place of his Democratic opponent,
Mckinney, and in the reversal of the
election Of tho Democratic mayor of
the city 1t would also invalidate the election of
several Democratic Representatives to the State
Legislature, and would probably change the re-
suit In the election of the State Senator, conn
cillor and the county officers That .he verdict
OF iilegality could be sustained in regard to all
these officers is doubtful, for the mater would
have to be tried before seven different tribunals
one for each officer of officers; but il is be-
lleyed that successful contest could be made IN
the cases of most of them. The greatest doubt
is IN the most important case, that of Congress
men, which would have to be tried before the
Democratic Congress.

unabated. The PRINCIPAL object of the conven
tion seems to be to arrange a more perfect and
satisfactory organization among machinsts, so
that If 1t is necessary to make demands of any
Sort any action that might be necessary to take
in such case would be more united, and in this
way be more effectual. The eight hour ques-

not probable that the convention will pass defin-
