few days ago, intending to take a
trip to San Francisco. Travelling
Auditor Wright and Travelling Pass
enger Agent johnson arrived for
the purpose Of checking up his
books. They were engaged in this
work last night when the bandits
entered and covered them with re-
golvers. Wilson, the retiring agen t,
was compelled to open the safe.
While two of the desperadoes held
Wright, Johnson and Wilson ut bay,
he third emptied the contents of
the safe, $500, into sack, One.
third of this plunder was the per-
sonal property of Wilson, the bal
ance belonging to the railroad and
express companies. After relieving
Wilson, Johnson and Wright of IA
gold watch each, and what money
they had in their pockets, the high
waymen backed out of the door and
disappeared. A posse was soon in

for three days, and there is no
doubt that the robbery was commit
ted by the gang.

Captain Morton Thinks There VIII
Be More Trouble With
Miuers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 25.-
Captain Morton, commander oi
Morton's battery, has returned from
Coal Greek to confer with Governor
buchanan concerning the situation
there. Captain Morton thinks the
situation is yet quite serious, and
that trouble may occur. He said
that General Carnes has informa-
lion that between 1000 and 5000
miners were coDgregated at Jellico,
on the Kentucky border, and there
was danger of them making raid
on Coal Greek at any time. Cap
tain Morton believes that rs or 100
miners have been killed. He said
that several members of the sheriff's
posses were still missing, but 1t is
not known whether they were kill
I'd or not. Captain Morton said the
law-abiding people of that section
are very appreheusive of danger t.
lie and property unless the leaders
IN the riot are severely and prompt
~ punished, and the opinion is free
iy expressed that unless vigorous ef
orts for the punishment of the riot
'rs are pressed many law-abiding
citizens will be killed or driven from
he country and much property de-
'troyed. Captain Morton will con
er with the governor of Kentucky
or au' 'horlty TO allow Tennessee
roops to go over the line and appre-
lend any Tennessee aud Ken
ucky pilners who may haye taken
part IN the riots. Captain Morton
aid 1t was General Carnes' desire tt
lave martial law declared, but tbi.
Morton thought could not be done
lie said Judge East was of the opipi.
IN that he legislature alone could

loes not think the legislature can
