dozen cowboys took possession of the
| south bound passenger train on the In
ternational and Great Southern Road,
forty miles north of here, last night.
They boarded the train at Buda Station,
and their first act was to force a Chicago
drummer off the moving train, be-
cause he wore a red cravat and high
silk hat. They continued their depre-
dations by making a number of young
ladies in the Pullman coach sing for
them. They enforced all their demands
with drawn pistols. They ruled the
train for twenty miles, when they
stepped off at a way station.

ANOTHER CRANK.
A Young Man Wants an Analysis of Cor
nelius Vauderbilt's Brain.

New YORK, Dec. 28.-Saturday night
at 10 80 o'clock while Cornelius Van
derbilt was entertaining a number of
friends at his Fifth Avenue residence.
a gOod-lOoking, well dressed young
man, apparently a German, rang the
street door bell. To a page who an
swered the summons, he said he had
called to see Mr.. Vanderbilt person
ally to get his brains, which he pro-
posed to have subjected to expert an
alysis In order to determine why he,
Vanderbilt, had been able to mass a
fortune, while he, the caller, was prac-
tically penniless. The page summoned
an officer who took the young man to
a station house. In his pockets was
found a card bearing the name, John
J. Lingman, No. SIC East Eleventh
street, also a membership card of the
Young Mems. Christian Association.
The prisoner was taken TO the Yorke-
vile police court and committed pend
ing an examination as to his mental
condition. He was unc0mmunicative
and is doubtless insane.

AN IDIOT YELLED FIRE"
And Nine Children Were Crushed to
Death.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-The theatre in
Gateshed county, Durham, was last
night the scene Of a frightful panic, in
which at least ten persons, including
nine children, were killed outright, and
many injured.
The light of a blaze caused by a man
in the audience dropping a lighted
match on the sawdust covered floor
caused some one to start the cry of
fire, " and a terrible panic at once en-
sued. There was Immediately a wild
rush for the doors, which, owing to the
savage crush and struggle, quickly be-
came SO blocked that only a few sue
ceeded at once in getting out.

Squeezing tie railroads.

COLUMBIA, 8. c., Dec. le. The bill
putting the absolute control of all the
railroads in the state into the hands
of a railroad commission, from
whose decision there Is no APP
appeal, has been signed by gov
eCuor Tillman. n mass meet
ing of the railroad employees was held
here last night and a committee was
appointed to wait upon the governor
In regard to the bill. After hearing
tb eir mission the governor said: 1.-The
bill has already been signed and is now
law. The opposition OF eight or ten
thousand railroad employees does not
amount to damn compared with
fifty or sixty thousand farmers de.
manding its passage" The effect OF
this was rather nflammatory. A
mass meeting of all railroad employees
in the state was called for Thursday
night next and the battle cry will be
then given In earnest against the
governors movement.

lice court at 10 o'clock this morning and
pleaded not guilty tn the charge. Officer
Daniels said that he has been on the look
en- for Davis since the Chinaman was
Knocked down two months ago by two ne
grOmen: that he Is almost positive Davis is
one of the parties; also that he is thought
to be the man, who, about one month
ago, ran up behind an Italian grocer and
struck him over the head, causing him to
fall apparently dead The officer further
states that about O'Clock this morning.
at the Bclla-Union theatre, man went
TO sleep, having on his person an $50 gold
watch: that when he awOHe, the watch
was missing. Davis had been there one
hour previous to the time the man was
aroused, and when the discovery of theft
was made he was missing.
Judge Devine said he would continue

tective work, which, if successful, will
send the negro over the road for few
years.

horse flesh since the Ahret sale and
will probably surpass it as we'll as the

The sale is rendered necessary
through the death OF w. s. Hobart, OF

prove the most important sale of the

fourteen years old, and will, Oh the
