ing secured the ~valuables the robber
Jumped off and took to the woods. En-
gineer Bob Sizer says he was pulling out
and just as his train was under way he
turned around and saw man standing
near him. Before he could ask a ques-
ton or look twice, two big revolvers were
in his face. He was then toll to run his
train up to the Escambia river bridge,
some miles distant, and stop on the bridge.
There was nothing left for him to do but
obey and he did 50. The engineer was
told to get off his engine and did so.
Then the robber directed Sizer to 90 to
the express car and force an entrance, the
robber putting a heavy mallet in his hand.
SiZer did so and burst open the car door.
Express Messenger Archie johnson was
standing in his car with a pistol 10 his
hand, but on seeing Sizer he lowered it.
The next minute he was covered and told
to lay down his gun and he obeyed. Then
the robber, standing in the car door, COM
PEELED the messenger to open the safe and
hand him all the money. While this
operation was going on the fellow was
standing In the door, coolly looking at
his victim and firing first to one side Of
the train and then to the other to overawe
the passengers and train crew. When he
got the money the robber told Sizer to
follow him. The man showed the way to
the engine, made Sizer pull out and with
a parting shot and a wild yell dashed of
into the bushes and was lost to sight. A
posse has left Flomaton and another has
left Mobile in pursuit of the robber

THE SILVER QUESTION.


 No Agreement Yet Reached by the
 Republican Senatorial Caucus.
 WASHINGTON, May o.-Another meeting of the republican senatorial caucus was held to-day at which the silver question was again under consideration. It is said that the only proposition discussed was the one to make the notes to be issued for the purchase of bullion a full legal tender, the bullion redemption clause having been abandoned by those who advocated 1t. The caucus was attended by about two thirds of the republican senators; and while majority of them were in favor of making the notes full legal tender, it was decided to postpone formal action on the proposition until another time when there shall be a full attendance.
 It Is said that number of friends of the legal tender idea were not present to-day. and that on full vote the majority in it's fayor will be even larger than It was this morning. Va. rious senators, representing both sides of the question, while declining to talk of the pro- oesdings of the caucus, united in saying that the desire for agreement upon a measure was more manifest than for some days past, and they expressed the opinion that satisfac. tory conclusion of the matter would be ar. rived ct.
 It is said that several senators stated in caucus that they could not support the bill the postpOnement to a future caucus to formal action is for the purpose of giving time for further consideration of the point at issue
