TYLER, TEX, Dec. 1.-THE south

Louis, was robbed and an old gentleman
bv the pams Of j H. Gearhardt of Mar
shall WAS shot twice through the body.
The highwaynsn had cut the passen-
ger coach from the balance of the train 4,
and when the passengers discerned the
train disappearing in the dark he took
advantage of the excitement, fired his
pistol aud yelled at the passengers to
throw up their hands.
All who did not scamper out
al the door or slide through the
open windows complied and the robber
proceeded to go through them all.
He went smoothly enough until he
tackled Dir. Gearhardt, of Marshall.
The old gentlemen showed fight aud the
desperate opened fire on him
with the above result. After
Mr.. Gearhnrdt was shot he
threw the desperate from the car aud
shut the door.
The robber again cut loose at him,
shooting through the door, and took TO
The woods. The passengers then col
lected together and the train WAS again
coupled aud came on TO Tyler with the
wounded man, and he was placed in tie
company g hospital.
MIR. Gearhardt is shot twice through
the left lung, and
MORTALLY WOUNDED.
Tyler offiriuls were telerraphed for and
left for the scene of the robbery ut once
with greut confidence of capturing the
robber and assassin.

lieve him to be o man who has
been stopping ct that place for

from LampGsas. The robber is described
as man of medium height and weight,
dark complexioned aud dark. thin
mustache. and wore dark clothes. He
purchased O ticket this morning from

MIR. Gearhardt tore of the robbers
hat and cravat in the struggle, and it is
supposed left blood stains over the assas-
sims clothes, which may render his
capture more certain.

az ALLIANCE SCANDAL.

An Alliance scandal from Georgia is
The latest. 1t is the fruit of the rencct
Election OF United States senator from
that state. The Alliance worked hard
to bent Gordon and elect its man Pat
Calhoun, but failed. Now rather ugly
story is circulated detailing with some
iudislinctness the rather shady and
nnderhaui plans by which the Alliance
leaders managed the campaign. The
revelations will, 1t Is said. become G
matter for investigation at the Alliance
conference soon to meet at Ocala, Fla.
McCuue, .itOr OF the National EUono-
mist published at Washington, and Liv-
Iugstone, head of the Alliance in Geor-
gin, are the men chiefly concerned in the
scandal.
The story III substance Is that McCune
and Livingstone sought TO control q ma
jority of votes for their man Calhoun
who, II seems. is railroad manly
representing that an understanding had
been arrived at between the leaders of
mates, by which the two should work In
concert for political control. The rail-
roads were the largest debtors In the
country, and rs such, favored more
money. To get it. they were willing TO
support the Alliance, and had already
put up large sums OF money to
establish and maintain central AL
lance organ ut Washington, with
subsidiary organs In each of
the states. McCune's Economist was
the subsidized organ At Washington, and
state organs had recently been es;ab-
lished in like manner in Texas and
Geor-ia. AS proof OF the compact afore-
said, they pointed 20 the remarkable
silence that had for some time prevailed
in the Alliance organs concerning rail-
roads. This in brief Is g substance of
the story. Whether there be much or
little truth, or auy NJ Nil n II, we don t
pretend to say. II Is given for what it 10
worth.
Il may not be ont OF place. however,
TO say thnt, by all accounts there is not
much in the character of the Alliance
leaders meuti ned, especially Mcclure
aud Livingstone, TO repel any insinua-
tons of this character that may be lev
eled against them By those who know
them they are regarded as political cor
sairs. If they are the tricksters they are
represented 10 be, the sooner the Alliance
shakes them the better il will be for the
order. Such leadership would disrupt
ana ruin baui of angels. 1t was an
honest doubt of their integrity AMI good
fuith that inpelled few Of the Alliance
men in the Georgia legislature to vots for
Gordon. II would perhaps be well for
The Alliances in other states to look well
into the character of some of their lead
crs.

THE LATE JUDGE JONES.

In private letter to the editor of the
GLOBE Judge CHARLES M. START. of
Rochester, alludes to an anecdote re-
lated in last Saturdays GLOBE, which
he thinks does an injustice to the late
Judge RICHARD JONES. Judge START
says: ut was simply impossible for
Judge JONES ever. at any time or place,
to have conducted himself in the man.
ner indicated, for he was a gentleman.
While he was never bringing to courts,
but firm in insisting upon his rights and
those of his clients, yet he was always
courteous, both to the courts and his
brother attorneys. never knew law
yer more so, or who better observed
the proprieties of the court room."
The GLOBE very cheerfully surren-
ders space for this just tribute to Judge
JONES, and indorses every word of it. 1t
furthermore gives lis pleasure to state
that, upon inquiry, we learn that the
gentleman who related the anecdote
did not have Judge RICHARD JONES.
formerly of Rochester, in his mind, but
that he referred to another DICK
JONES, a queer kind of fellow who
hung out for short time in one of the
counties of Southwestern Minnesota.
and then, like all of his class, suddenly
disappeared, no one knows where. The
GLOBE is sorry that the confusion of
names should have led any one to
suppose that the story had reference
to the eminent jurist whose memory is
still fragrant in the hearts of Minnesota
people, and who was known by all to
be above the arts of buffoonery.

THE FIRST DISTRICT.

Judge WILSON'S declination to be-
come candidate for congress leaves an
open field for the Democratic nomina-
3udge WILSON was possible candidate
the race was practically closed against
entries on the Democratic side. His
eminent abilities, coupled with his dis
tlnguiShed services during the term
that he represented the old First dis
trict, placed him so far in the front that
none Of his Democratic associates cared
to contest with him for the honor of
nomination. Nor is his popularity con-
fined to his own party. Quite num-
Der of Republicans in the First district
were equally anxious to have Judge
WILSON go back to congress, because
they knew that the interests of the dis
trict would be better represented than
is now being done. But for reasons
that are satisfactory to himself, and
must be satisfactory to others, the judge
declines to be candidate. Yet his
declinaLion Will in no wise hamper the
Democratic party in the First district
or lessen the chances for success.
There is too much good Democratic ma
terial in the First district for the con-
gressional nomination to go begging.
Out of dozen or more names we could
readily mention the Democrats could
make no mistake in nominating any one
of them. And all of them are men of
pre-eminent ability and sterling quail
ties of character,
