New YORK, Sept. "A Guatemala
special to the Herald says: Minister
Miners friends are urging him to aban-
don the city if he would save his life.
The followers of General Barrundia
threaten to kill him on sight. Incensed
by his order to Captain Pitts to
surrender their chief, they hold him
responsible for the subsequent tragedy
on board the Acapulco. Up to the pres
ent Miner shows no signs of accepting
the advice of his friends, but almost
open threats of assassination have badly
frightened him, and the legation is con-
stantly guarded by policemen. Nothing
is talked of but the attempt of Bar
rundia's daughter to kill Miner.
The facts are substantially as sent
yesterday, although the details vary con-
siderably as told by different witnesses.
While the servants were disarming the
woman, it is now said, Miner ran into
the street, crying loudly for help. A
crowd quickly gathered, among them
being a number of policemen, who ar
rested the woman and marched her off
to prison.
Cry OF Mexico, Sept 2.-The Off
Gals OF the Guatemalan legation here
deny that any attempt was made to
assassinate Miner, the American min
lister to Guatemala.
The Mexican press unanimously con-
gdemns the death of General Martin
Barrundia, the Guatemalan revolution
ist, claiming that the American captain.
Pitts, should not have surrendered him,
though the legality of the act is not
denied.

HELD UP A TRAIN
A Lone Highwayman Performs Slick
Job. in Alabama.


MOBILE, Sept. 2.-The Louisville and
Nashville cannon ball train last night
was held up at Pensacola Junction by a
robber who entered the express car and
compelled the messenger to give up the
contents of the safe. 1t is not known at
this time the extentof the loss. Having
secured the valuables, the robber
jumped off and took to the woods.
Engineer Bob Sizer says he was
pulling out and just as his train got
under way he turned around and saw a
man standing near him. Before he
could ask a question or look twice two
big revolvers were in his face. He was
then told to run his train up to Escambia
river bridge, some miles distant, and stop
on the bridge. There was nothing left
for him to do but to obey, and he did
so. The engineer was told. to get off
his engine, and did SO. Then the rob-
Der directed Sizer toige to the express
car and force an entrance, the robber
putting heavy mallet in his hand
Sizer did so and burst open the car door,
The express messenger, Archie Johns
ton, was standing in his car with pis-
tol in hand, but seeing Sizer he lowered
it. The next minute he was covered
and told to lay down his gun, and he
obeyed. y. ~ ~
Then the robber standing in the car
door compelled 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 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 offinto the bushes and
was lost to sight. Posses are in pursuit
of the robber.

SINGLE TAXITES.
Henry George and His Diciples in Con-
vention A ssemb1ed.

vention Assembled.
New York, Sept. 2.-At today's meet.
ing the single tax convention was for
merly organized as the National League
OF single tax clubs of the United States. -
The committee on platform and resolu-
tions, Henry George, chairman, went
into session.
A mass meeting was held this evening
at which w. Lloyd Garrison and others
spoke. The mention of Cleveland's free
trade message in Garrison's speech,
evoked loud cheers. Garrison said :
"Our reform has been mark
ed with great wisdom. Its power
has beeh felt by the Democracy OF the
state of New York and the Republican
ism of the country, which is nothing.
But as national politics is the science of
numbers (laughter) it cannot afford to
speak the truth, and it says what is ex-
pedient. 1t deals in words, not in
IDEAS" r.
Among other speakers were Lee
Merriwether, of Missouri, Judge Mcguire,
of San Francisco, and Henry
George. Mr.. George spoke but briefly.
He said judging from the speeches he
had heard he was no longer needed
on the platform. There were others
that could talk single tax. A few years
ago he said they were educating men in
the movement who would change the
destinies of the country, and he was
glad to see this predictions were true.

POLITICAL ARENA.
The Election in the Green
Mountain State.
A Large Falling Off in the
Republican Vote.
The Majority Reduced at Least Ten
Thousand.
Encouraging Democratic Gains-The Pro
hibition Vote Light-High License
Candidates Elected.

Associated Press Dispatchesl
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Sept. e.
This state today voted for state officers,
two representatives to congress, and a
full list of state senators and representa-
tives.
Returns thus far received indicate not
only that the Republican vote is very
light, but that the ticket has been out.
The decrease in the Democratic vote is
not nearly as large, correspondingly, this
year, as that of the Republicans. The
Prohibition vote remains about the same
so far.
Republican majority over all in towns
SO far heard from, is 1878 against 77s50 in
1888. Ii the vote in the remaining
towns corresponds with those heard
from the Republican majority will be
the smallest since the institution OF the
biennial elections.
Later-Returns now in from 100
towns show Republican net loss, COM
pared with the vote in 1883, of 1894.
BURLINGTON, Sept. 2.-Returns to 0he
Free Press, from majority of towns in
this section, give Page (Republican) for
governor, light majority.
The vote for Allen (Pro) fop Cover
nor is very light-about 1900. The
high license vote largely increased the
past two years, owing to the non-en-
forcement of the prohibition law. Re-
turns from the backwoods towns are COM
ing slowly.
One hundred and thirty-fve towns
give Page (Rep) 22,543; Brigham (Dem)
1929; Allen (Pro), S92. In these
towns the Republican vote has fallen off
1896, the Democratic vote has gained
AL, while the prohibition vote
has fallen of but little. If
the vote on the remaining towns is rele-
atively the same as those heard from,
the Republican majority will be about
$4,000 in the whole state. There were
only eighteen Democrats in the
assembly in 1888; thirty-seven
have been elected in the 135
towns already heard from, and two
farmers league candidates. An uiiey-
pectedly large number OF high licence
Republicans are elected.
