DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 2.-.SpecialI-
Telographic advices from Samuel, Tex,
small station on the Southern Pacific
railroad, located in n thinly settled sec
ton, give a thrilling account of a dar-
ing robbery committed by six masked
men at that place shortly after m idnight
last night.
All money and valuables in the safe
in tho express car were seized by tho
robbers, as we'll as several sacks of mail
and registered packages from the mail
car. The amount of money obtained
cannot be learned, but it will doubtless
reach into tens of thousands.
The train was just pulling out from
the station when six masked mon
simultaneously mounted the engine,
mail and express car, two men for each
of these positions. Over forty shots
were fired, literally perforating the bag
gage and express cars without iniuring
anyone, when an unexpected move OF
procedure was adopted. that OF ex-
ploding dynamite cartridge against the
small window in the express car. The
elect OF this was to tear out the window
and otherwise damage the car. Tho ex-
press messenger was stunned, hut be ro-
covered in few moments only to be
overpowcrcd by the robbers and made to
give up his safe keys The train was
delayed several hours.
Tho robbers took their time in doing
the job and with the utmost GOODNESS
and exhibition OF great nerve. Horses
we're in readiness for them aud on COM

WAsHINGToN, Sept. e.-The logical
sequence of what has transpired within
the past fortnight at Saratoga among
the Democratic political magnates, and
asccrtained from confidential sources.
Will be the nomination of Arthur =. Cor

as soon as IL becomes evident that the
III mination OF Hill is not i possibility.
In tho conferences which have taken
place during the past two weeks the
prospects and campaign strength OF each
OF the ioremost men mentioned for the
place were discussed, always winding
up in favor Of German. The fact that
Gorman has practical assurance that.
Cleveland out of the race, he will secure
the solid Southern vote in the conyen-
ton, gives him 3lS votes, or considcra-
bly, over one third, which will be 200 in
the next convention. As ii requires a
two-thirds vote to nominate in a Demo
cratic convention, it requires no second
sight to understand that German. with
that backing, will be master of tho
situation. Then he will have Tammany
with her New York delegates and a
following in different directions. That
such formidable showing will sooner
or later force a stampede is certain.

CHARGES AcAISsr SERGEANT JONES.
Allegations That He Received Money to
Guard IA H"hoy Horse.


The board of police commissioners
were called to meet yesterday evening
at o'clock. Verbal charges had been
preferred against Sergeant Jones for
stating his side of the arrest of Dr..
White to TINES reporter.
Tho charges direct were that the
sergeant charged two officers with being
more disorderly than the crowd. An
officer was sent to notify Sergeant Jones
to appear before the police board But
the message did not reach the sergeant
till after o'clock. The sergeant APP
peared at police headquarters yesterday
evening. Messrs. Turner and Miller
were present, also Mayor Evans and
Chief Morris. The sergeant was called
up and asked if he was prepared to meet
the charges.
Mr.. Jones said he did not know what
they were. He had not received copy
OF the charges and had not been given
due notice. n
The mayor informed the sergeant that
1T was in reference to the arrest of DR..
White and the sergeant's conduct at no
lice headquarters on that occasion. The
mayor also made the startling revela-
ton that an additional charge was to be
preferred, that for allowing the hobby
horses TO run in East Roanoke after
Officer Wolfe ordered them TO stop, and
Tor accepting money for guarding the
said hobby horses.
This latter charge was surprise to
most Of the force. When Sergeant
Jones was asked about the matter he
said: II leave it for them to prove. I
think it is malicious scheme to get me
OFF the force"
The occasion on which the charges
originated seems to he about as follows:
Complaint was lodged with Officer
Wolfe while in East Roanoke ono night
that the hobby horses were running and
that tho discordant music was very
painful to sick man.
Mr.. Wolfe went to the place wher
the nuisance existed and ordered them
stopped. The order was complied with
and Mr.. Wolfe returned to lodge meet
ing then in progress. In the meantime
the proprietor oi tho hobby horses com
planned TO Sergeant Jones. Tho serge; mt
went over to SEQ the sick man. who told
him he did not mind the hobby horses
just SO the boys did not disturb him
with the noise. The sergeant says he
then ordered the hobby horses to 20 on
ANA saw that the order was kept.
After the lodge mectin. closed Mr..
Wolfe went out and found that the
hobby horses were running The
charge was laid before the mayor and
chief, but was not brought out until
Sergeant Jones chose TO defend himself.

THE WAR CLOUDS DLowING OVER
No Trouble Likely 10 Result From tho
Dnrdanelles Affair.

LONDON, Sept. 9.--lSpecia IA high
official of the foreign Office thinks it i'm
probable that an immediate serious dis
pute will arise over the Sultan's permit
ting the Russian ship Moscow to pass
through Dardanolles. The official dis.
patches record the fact that the
Moscow's stoppage at the entrance to
the strait was due to breach OF regu-
lation requiring that notice be sent to
the port and that the Sultan's flrman
be obtained before making the passage.
The Russian government replied that
the customary notice was unnecessary
as the only military aboard were SOL
diers who had been discharged, having
served their time. A similar case oc-
Cured in April when Russian ship
under commercial. flag carrying sol
dies aud war material was permitted
to pass through Dardanelles.
The British ambassador then advised
the Sultan that Great Britian and other
signatory powers would take united
action in the advent of any material
change in the port in regard to Darda-
nelle's signatory powers. They wero
cognizant of the Moscow incident. but
do not con- ider it such breach of the
treaty of Paris as to require formal
protest.
