NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 4.
United States express messenger on
train on the Northeastern railway which ar
rived here Saturday morning at O'Clock was
robbed at 3 A. NJ, between Dacey and
Derry stations, 80 miles from this city. The
express officials declined to state the amount
butt is between 1900 andS50 900. Be
tween the stations above named the robber en-
tired the express car where Henry McElroy, the
baggage master, was sitting on chest near
the middle of the car, and the express mes
senger, Charles Lowrey, was in the other
end, checking freight. The robber came
first to the baggage master and presented
pistol. He required McElroy to hold up his
hands quickly, and threw sack over his
mead. The robber gave his attention to the
messenger, whom he compelled, at the point
of his pistol, to open the safe The sack
was then placed over the messengers head,
while the robber proceeded with his work of
securing the money. Both McElroy and
Lowery were required ulder threat to hold
up their hands After securing the contents
Of the safe, the robber pulled the bell rope,
the train stopped, and he left it unobserved.
The conductor did not know why the train
was stopped and on going for ward to ascer-
tain, he found the coach next to the baggage
car locked and the key on the outside. When
the express car was finally reached, both
McElroy and Lowrey were found standing
with their hands up and sacks over their
hea Is. They were un Ter the impression
that the robbers were still present.

STILL AT LARGE.
Morrison, the Murderer. Making Merry
About Lake Megantio.

Morrison, the murderer, who killed the
ex deputy United States marshal from Maine
who attempted to arrest him at Agnes, Lake
Megantic, few months ago for arson, and
attempt TO kill, is still at large in the woods
and smaller towns about Lake Megantic,
though detectives are about him. A few
evenings ago he was a leading attraction at y
ball at Storonway, Quebec, and he danced
and carried on with the other guests AS if
nothing had ever troubled him since he was
born.
He was shown every attention by the man
agement of the party and the women present
considered II an honor to have him as a part
ner in tripping the light fantastic. The re-
ward for his arrest has been increased to
$1,000 but though many of the police officials
throughout Canada know where to find him.
none as yet have attempted to undertake the
perilous job of catching him.
His friends have advised him to give himself
up and stand for trial. believing that the
evidence the court will hear will be in his
favor, as only his friends saw the murder
committed, and they will not swear his life
away. Should he decide to surrender il is
very probable that one of his friends will
take him in custody, and after receiving
the reward will hand the money over to some
lawyer TO defend the murderer. After the
ball at Stornoway Morrison had long inter
view at Leonard's Hotel in that place with
Lawyer Lemieux, who SO successfully defend
ed and acquitted Mrs. Lamontague, who
murdered her husband It is thought that
Lemieux suggested that Morrison give him
self up for the reward offered, and that if he
does SO, Lemieux will get him out of the
trouble for the reward money,
which is considered very large in these parts.
Unless Morrsons friends have money to de-
fend their pet if he is arrested, it is very
probable that he will suffer the extreme pen
atty of the law for his crime if given an i'm
partial trial and hearing.

GOTHAM'S PARADES.
The Republican Demonstration
the Greatest Eyer Seen.
Over Sixty Thousand Men In Line.
The Democrats Make Frantic but Fu-
tile Attempts to Equal It.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.
The lowering clouds that gave promise of
rain this forenoon saddened the heart of ev-
cry faithful republican in town
There was plenty of bunting displayed this
morning. Many business houses on lower
Broadway were handsomely decorated in
honor of the republican turnout, as well as
private dwellings On Fifth avenue and along
the line of march.
For an hour before the start Wall street,
William street, Bowling Green and, in
fact all the streets below Wall from
river to river and extending to the battery
were jammed with the various divisions and
the crowds drawn thlther to witness the for
nation of the procession.
Scores of banners bearing all sorts of
notices and inscriptions laudatory of the
presidential, State and county tickets were
displayed. All along the route, various
campaign cries were frequently uttered.
Among them: NO, no, no free t.ade, no
bandanna, Pro-protection, Ben of Indiana :"
Grover, Grover, take rest. Your mutton
is cooked by Sackville West; Tramp,
tramp, goes the big parade, to show the peo-
pie we want no free trade" .'Grover, Gro
yer, he's gone up coon. He'll feel next
week like bursted balloon"
These cries brought forth cheers and plau-
dts from the crowds which lined both sides
of Broadway, and at many points the enthu-
siasm was unbounded. Some of the or
ganizations displayed old battle flags and
these were greeted at numerous points along
the line with mingled cheers and Misses.
The American flag carried along with the
second division of the procession is the old
regimental flag of Gen. John T. Lockman,
which waved over the blood stained field of
Getty sburg all through the terrible scrimmage
there.
The line of march was up Broadway to
Wayerly place, through to Fifth avenue
past the reviewing stand in Madison square
where Hon. Levi Z. Morton and several
prominent republicans reviewed the parad-
ers.
An estimate of the number of men in line
was over 10000.
Rain fell upon the long line of paraders
from the start
1t was a ter o'clock when the last of the
parade passed the reviewing stand. There
we're two stands at the square, and these
were crowded with invited guests. Among
the reviewers were Hon. Levi p. Morton,
Warner Miller, Colonel S. V. X. Cruger,
Fred Douglass Joel B. Erhardt, Chauncey
NJ Depew, Walker Blaine Senator }. Soat
Fasselt, General Horace Porter, Cornelius

FOR COLLECTING RETURNS.
Preparations that Have Been Made in
the Different States.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.
Elaborate arrangements have been made
for collecting the presidential vote election
night. In New York, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania returns will be collected by the As
sociated Press alone. In all the other States
work will be done by the Associated Press
and the Western Union Tel. Co., acting to-
gether. In all the States except Ohio, the
vote will be compared with the presidential
vete of 1884.
In Ohio comparison will be made with the
vote for governor in 1887. A complete re-
districtng of the State and making com
parlson with 1884 is impracticable. The re-
turns of New York city will ce collected by
O'Rourke of the city press association. No
comparison can be made in the general bulle-
tins. many polling districts have been
sub-divided since 1854, but comparison
with the vote of 1884 can be made by the
assembly districts as fast as fully reported.

They foresee that free trade would mean
cheap production in the United States and
consequent keen competition with the Eng

they believe that English enterprise will be
equal to the strain of fair and and whole

may sustain in neutral markets there will be
handsome compensation in free access to
the American markets. ."-AnHpdi report OF

PET BANKS
Are the Subject Of Some CauStiG Remarks
from Mr.. Blaine
In His Last Speech of the Campaign at
Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, Nov. I.
Mr.. Blaine delivered his closing speech in
the campaign in this State in Brooklyn this
evening to large audience. During his
speech he said the administration had taken
500, 100000 of the public money and
loaned it TO pet banks in the
United States, and have done il
through the agency of banks established
by Mr.. Jordan and the late Mr.
Manning. They have made them sort of
government bureau. They gave them
81, l00, 900 as a fixed balance TO call their
own and then have allowed them to peddle
out S60, ,000, 900 to other banks and by that
means gather a number of banks throughout
the country TO give them their entire busi-
ness. Il say here" said Blaine, that Louis
XIV of France, or Peter the Great of
Russia nor Napoleon at the most absolute
period would never have dared to treat the
treasury of their respective countries in that
way, never, and | wonder it has not made
more profound sensation in this country. 1t
is source of surprise to me that people
have taken it so coolly."

eErrYsBURe's MONUMENTS.
Shall They be Symmetrically or His
torically Arranged

BOSTON, Nov. 4,
Much feeling has been started against the
Gettysburg Battle ied Association on ac-
count of the disposition shown by the asso-
citation to change the positions of the monu-
ments marking the line held by the Goth,
list, Tooth, and l5lst Pennsylvania, 42d,
59th, SD New York, and goth n. Y. S. NJ,
18th. 18th, and Goth Massachusetts, 18th
Maine. 9TH Michigan and lst Minneso a..
The association now proposes to move
them back and set them in row
on the line of battle held by the
regiments at the opening of the battle.
The reason of this action is said to be a
desire on the part of the association to secure
a more symmetrical arrangement and one
which will permit of visitors reaching these
monuments in carriage. and not obliging
them to walk to these interesting memorials.
The 18th Regiment Association has protested
strenuously against the change, and other
commands will follow suit.
