A TRAIN ROBBERY.

MOBILE, ALA, Sept. 2.-The
Louisville & Nashville cannon ball
which lett here at s o'clock last
night was held up at the big Es.
C mbla bridge, halt mile north OF
Pensacola Junction, by robbers
who entered the express car anG
compelled the messenger to give
up the contents Of the safe. 1t is
not known the extent Of the loss.
Having secured the valuables the
robbers jumped of and took to the
woods.
The first news of the robbery re-
ceived In Mobile by the railway
officials was but meagre. The
train was held up about halt a
mile above FIematOn junction, and
The people there know very little
OF what occurred, for the train was
delayed seven minutes only, and
there was not much chance to learn
what occurred.
Engineer Bob Sizer says that he
was pulling out of FIematOn, and
Just as the tram, which is a through
express from New Orleans, got un.
der way he turned around and saw
a man standing near him. Before
he could ask question or look
twice two big revolvers were in his
face. lie was told to run his train
up TO the Escambia river bridge,
some miles distant, and stop on
the bridge. There was nothing
lett for him to do but obey, and he
did so. There the train stopped
on the bridge. The engineer was
told 10 get off his engine, and he
did so. Then the rObber directed
Slzer to 60 to the express Car and
force an entrance, the robber put
ting a heavy mallet in his hand.
Sizer did as directed aud burst
open the door. Express Messenger
Archie Johnson was standing in
his car with a pistol in his hand,
but seeing Sizer lowered it. The
next minute he was covered and
ordered to lay down his pistol ami
he Obeyed. Then the robber stand
ing in the car door compelled the
messenger to OPEN the safe and
hand him 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 over.
awe the passengers and train crew.
When be got the money he told
Slzer to follow him. The man
showed the way to the engine, babe
Sizer pull, out and with a parting
shot and a wild yell dashed off in
the BUSINESS was lost to sight. y
posse has left FlematOn, and anoth.
er has left Mobile In pursuit of the
robbers.
Some surprise is expressed here
that the robbers selected this par.
ticdlar train as 1t is well known
that other trains carry most of the
express money; No. q, the robbed
train, carrying very little at any
time, and small amount on this
occasion. 1t is said that Rube
Burrows was recently seen in Flor
ence, and there Is a possibility that
be ordered the assembling of his
gang at Flematlon, and joined
them there to superintend the
proper conduct of the affair, but
this robbery looks more like the
work of the &c ebrated Captain
Bunch.

TRAIN WRECKERS.
HEAVILY LOADED PASSENGER
TRAINS BARELY ESCAPE
DISASTER

DISASTER
ALBANY, n. Y, August 30.-A
dastardly attempt to wreck pas
senger trains was made at 9 o'clock
this morning near Karners, abOnt
seven miles vest of this city. By
almost a miracle the Chicago ex.
press, heavily laden with passen-
gers and going at lightning speed,
was brought to a standstill within
20 feet of pile of ties and rail-
road iron placed across the tracks.
The tracks at this point are sup
posed to be guarded by Pin kertOn
men, but somehow the train
wreckers passed the guard and
laid the trap behinG the shelter OF
one of the numerous freight trains
stalled at that point. The attempt
was made in a most systematic
way, for both the switchman and a
PlnEertOn guard were locked mp
IN their houses. At about five
minutes OF the time the train is
due the switchman started to leave
the shanty, hut found himself a
prisoner. While trying to get out
he heard the thunder of the ap.
preaching train. Suspectlng dan
ger he cried for help and then
burst the door down. AS be got
out the train came down at a ter.
rife speed, and then for the first
time the switchman saw the pile of
ties on the track. He had no time
20 get his lantern, but with the
PnkertOn men who had gathered
got on the track and yelled. The
engineer saw them, aud putting on
his air brakes reversed his lever
and brought the train to a stand
still. Very few OF the 200 passen.
gers were made aware OF the dan.
ger.
An attempt was made, and sue
cessfully, to wreck a train at GrOn.
bush last night. A coupling pin
was dropped in between the tracks
of a switch and a freight train was
derailed. Traffic was delayed for
FIVE hours. At the Delaware and
Hudson yard this morning detec-
tlyes found a coupling PIN placed
on a track so as to throw a tram
off. The strikers claim that these
acts are done by outside parties.

THE CAR AND MASON.

Mayor EIIyson tells an Interest
ing story of the dangers of a He
brew life in Russia. Mr.. A. David
son, his informant, told how he
rushed to the American Consul
while in trouble. The Consul
thereupOn seem ed greatly agitated,
and told him he was in great dan
ger, the probability being that he
would be sent to Siberia. Then
Mr.. Davidson besought the Consul
to save Elm, but was told that the
official could do nothing for him.
Here we quote the Observant May
or:
"He again and again begged the
Consul to do something tor him,
but he said he did not know what
he could do. Finally be informed
the Consul that he was a Mason,
and upon that the Consul arose, shut
all OF the doors, closed all of the
windows, for, said be, even the
walls have ears aud gave him
instructions by which it might be
possible for him to escape, but
SAID, 1T will cost me my position
aud perhaps my life if it is ever
known that | helped you"
The gratifying sequel to this Is
that Mr.. Davidson did escape
and 1t was his Masonry that saved
him. While this occurrence shows
the advantage Of beng a Mason,
It shows that the Consul, though
living up to his Masonry, is not an
honest Consul. A citizen of The
United States appealed to him for
and. He declined to give that aid.
Then the same citizen as Mason
appealed to him and the AID was
forthcoming. The United States
Official was TOO little an American
to help An American, bat too
much a Mason to decline 10 help a
Mason. The incident reveals the
power Of Masonry, but it calls for
the removal of that Consul. The
unfortunate Hebrew was saYed,
not because be was a citizen of the
United States, but because he vas

About a dozen Austrlans went to

ers still demand a uniform wage of

a day and eight on Saturday; poor
workmen who are In the majority,
to receive just as much pay as first
class hands. John Beattie, who
owns the great quarries, and who
is travelling IN Europe In search of
health, pronOunces it the queerest
strike on record, because good
workmen are striking for less wages
than they received, so that they
may be on the same plane of equal
