A DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
How Ono Man Held up Train and Rob
Bed the Express.

Bed the Express.
- LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2.-The Louisville
and Nashville northbound train was
held up by masked robbers half "a mile
north Of Pensacola Junction early this
morning. The safe was taken from the
express car, but the extent Of the rob-
berry is not known.
The Cousisr .Jqirnar has this from
Mobile, Ala: "The Louisville and,
Nashville cannon, ball train, north
bound, was held up near Pensacola
Junction, forty miles above Mobile, by
robbers, who entered the express car
and compelled the messenger TO turn
over the contents of his safe. 1t is
| the robbery. After securing the Valu-
ables the robbers escaped to the woods.
"The first news of the robbery re-
ceived in Mobile by the railway Of
licials was very meagre. The train
was held up about a half mile above
the junction, and people there knew
very little of what had happened, for
the train was delayed a few minutes
only and there was not much chance of
learning what had occurred.
Engineer Bob SiZer says that he was

That "Tired Feeling"

The newspapers are having good
deal Of fun nowadays over that "tircd

adver visements, in connection with the
ill-health of females. 1t may be a
source Of hilarity to witty paragraph
eIs, but not SO to suffering women,
who, by overwork, and disregard of
the laws of health, have lapsed into a
condition bordering on invalidism.

AMOVEMENT AGAINST COTTON.
Eum"rs.of N Combine in England to Force

aDecline.
-nr,1N-rN Ga, september Ill Is
onnounced that instructions have been
c.. --lish manufacturers to their
agents fnthis country to buy no more
cotton at the ruling prices, or no
more than is required for Immediate
consumption by the mills. Many of
the New England mills have also agreed
to- curtail their takings for the present
The object Of both is to force Il decline
OF tho staple. They are calculating
on very large crop in the United
States and fair crops in other cotton
raising countries, and that the supply
will soon be greater than the demand
at present prices.
The British estimates Of the crop of
the United States largely exceed seven
million bales. Even if it should reach
this amount, coming in as it does upon
a comparatively short stock of the old
crop, there is good reason to believe
that the increased demand for the
worlds consumption will keep pace
with it, as it has done Of late years.
But the manufacturers, by concert.
have the power to force a decline, un-
less money is furnished in plenty to buy
the crop. y week or two ago it locked
as II the monetary centres would be
strained to~furnish money to move the
crops this fall. But the commercial re-
ports and the statement of the associa-
ted banks for last week encourage the
hope that the stringency in the money
market is slackening. The banks
gained in their reserves for the first
time in several weeks, and the COM
mcrcial reports show increasing trade
and more confidence in business circles.
The suppression of State banks of

rcncey OF the South. which formerly

SHE TRIED TO KILL HIM.
Barrundia's Daughter shoots at Minister
Miner.


CITY OF GUATEMALA, September s.
A daughter of General Martin Barrun-
dia, who was shot to death in the cabin
of the Pacific Mail Seamship Acapulco
at San Jose de Guatemala last week,
attempted to shoot United States Min

Mr.. Miner was at his desk translat-

this government that Barrundia'S Nre
would be spared in case he was surren-
dered when the young. woman came
into the Office. AS the Minister look ed
up from his work she was standing
within four feet of him with Il revolver
In her hand.
She saluted him saving: "Are you the
American Minister"
Mr.. Miner replied: 81 am. Can be
of any service to your"
With flashing eyes she accused him
of having been directly the cause of her
fathers death and announced that she
meant to kill him. Mr. Miner took
the matter coolly and tried to reason
with the girl, who was apparently M
most craZed with excitement, and III
the most tragic manner poured on him
the bitterest invective of which tho
Spanish language is capable. At last

Miner had taken up heavy law book
which he, with apparent carelessncss
held between himself and the girl, ant

book.
The sound of the shot attracted ut
tention and before second shot cOu {
