Mail Car and Shoot Two Employees.
The passenger train for Atlanta on the
Georgia Pacific Railroad was held up by
masked robbers near Weems, ten miles
cast of Birmingham, Ala.
AS the train moved away from the sta.
ton, robber boarded the engine and
covered the engineer with a rifle, com.
polling him to stop the train 400 feet away
on trestle. One man stood guard over
the engineer while several others opened
fire on the inside of the train in order to
brighten the passengers. Another robber
knocked on the door of the mail car, de-
manding entrance, which was refused.
He then broke open the door firing at
the postal clerk who was slightly
wounded. Every registered letter, sup.
posed to contain about $4,000 was taken.
The express car was not mOlested.
The robbery was done in few min.
utes, in which time several of the gang
kept up the firing and fagman Adams
was wounded. The engineer says tho
robber on the engine was a white man
and the postal clerk says the man who
robbed him was a mulatto.
The police of Birmingham were at
once informed of the robbery and started
on the trail with bloodhounds. The men
were followed for about five miles when
the trail was lost. The gang is thought

THE LEGISLATURE.
NINTY NINTH DAY.
"WEDNESDAY, Sept. %, 1892.
Morning Session.

The Assembly met at 10 o'clock
for prayer. The minutes of last
meeting were read and approved.
Rep. Kaunamano, under suspen-
sion of the rules; gave notice of a
bill to amend the Road Board Law,
passed at this Session.
Rep. White gave notice of bill
to encourage the manufacture of
jams, jellies, etc, from native fruits.
The special Order of the Day was
the consideration of the amendments
to Article 55 of the Constitution,
but on motion consideration thereof
was postponed for one week.
The regular Order of the Day now
being moved, the Appropriation Bill
came up for consideration and the
item, Burglar Proof Vault Treas
ury, $780," was brought forward.
Rep. Smith favored the item pass
ing at 1854, the principal claimed,
without the addition of the interest
item, viz, S2l5.64. Parties dealing
with the Government do it at their
own peril in one sense. They have
to find out if the officer that they
are dealing with is acting within the
scope of the power of his Office. The
fact remains that Mr.. G. O. Berger
was the local representative of that
company. He knew the law and that
the contract should not have been
awarded only by tender. The COM
pany had legally no right to collect
even the principal, and they would
do we'll if they received that without
the interest.
Noble Baldwin said the item had
been under consideration by the FL
nance Committee and they had re-
ported on it as an illegal contract. 1t
had not been putup for tender, there
fore there was no opportunity given
to others in the same line of bust
ness. He thought the former Min
istry were responsible personally
and not the Government. The
House could vote this item out on
the score of illegality. They should
draw line between just claims and
illegal claims, for that reason he
would vote against the item of inte-
rest.
Minister Parker was agreed that
the transaction strictly speaking was
illegal, but if anything was paid he
favored the interest being added
At the time of the contract several
burglaries were being committed in
the city,even the Government House
having been entered.
Noble Thurston was of opinion
that if the company sued the Gov
eminent they would not obtain the
principal let alone the interest. They
were supposed to know the law and
in any case ignorance of it did not
excuse them.
After considerable more argument
on the matter almost entirely caused
by the item of interest, the item was
passed at 1854.
Noble Marsden moved that al
item be inserted under the Depart
ment of the Interior as follows:
To encourage the transmission o
messages between the different isl
ands by means of carrier pigeons
$500.
The item had no opposition and
was inserted as desired.
At II o'clock the Assembly tool
recess until 1:30 p. IN.
