night last night watchman on the
lookout at Boyles, the scene of Sun
day nights attempt TO wreck and rob
the Louisville and Nashville express,
saw three suspicious men on horseback
in the woods near by. On wiring the

sent up. a squad of five of them who
went down in ravine to reconnoitre
report that they were fired at ten times
by three mounted men. The officers
returned forty shots, when the horse
men fled. No one was hurt. The
trail of th- robbers was struck by
hounds again to-day, and followed over
Red Mountain. 1t developes that the
robber gang is composed of two mer
and one woman, heavily armed ant
mounted. They passed through th'
outskirts of the city. If run down, I

Important Railway News.

The following appeared in the At-
lanata Constitution of Sunday: "The
Seaboard Airline appears to have
taken notion to make life lively for
its competitors. Notice has been
given that at the end of thirty days
the Seaboard & Roanoke and the
Raleigh & CASTOR will withdraw from
the Southern Passenger Association.
AS the Georgia, Carolina & Northern
has not gone into the association, the
trouble that the future holds for the
Richmond & Danville can be easily
guessed at. A through line from At
lanta to the North outside of the pas
senger association can tear things wide
open"
Mai. Winder was asked as to the
truth of this announcement and said
sit is true l have given notice Of with
drawal from the Southern Passenger
Association and under the rules VT
will be out on the 23rd Of April. There
is nothing to say, except that W.
thought it best to withdraw"

Richmond Terminal Plan in New Shape.

Richmond Terminal Flan IL New Shape.
New YORK, March pa special
meeting of the governing committee of
the stock exchange has been called for
tomorrow to consider the application
to list the Richmond Terminal reor-
ganization committee receipts. 1t is
thought that the action of the govern
ing committee depends wholly on the
amount of securities which the 5e-or-
ganization committee can show have
assented to their plan. The Georgia
court has appointed the directors of the
Georgia Central essentially the court S
receivers, and if they cannot operate
the road as they desire, they have the
power to call stockholders meeting
and elect new board. TO this end
the court has enjoiEed the Richmond
Terminal Co., from voting its holding:
of the majority stock, thus giving the
power to elect directors to the minority
stockholders. 1t is stated unofficial
that steps will be taken to change thi
decision of Tho court on the ground tha
it is virtual confiscation.

The South Carolina Tax Gases.

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 90
Judge Simpson in the United States
court to-day filed the decision in the
railroad tax cases. The decree orders
the railroads to pay into court the
amount of taxes admitted to be due the
State and heretofore rendered, and the
clerk of the court was directed
to pay over the same to the
county treasurer. Questions of cost
are reserved. The suit grew out of
the action of the comptroller general
in raising the railroad assessments.
All the roads in the State refused to
pay, but made tender of taxes on the
basis of the original assessment. The
county treasurer refused the tenders
and the railroads got out in
functions which are to be heard
April 4th., restraining the sheriff from
levying upon their property. In the
meantime, the State got hard up and
needing the money, went into cour
and asked to have the undisputed taxes
paid to the county treasurer. Thi
decree will relieve the stringency in
the State treasury caused by numerous
litigations brought about by the recen
eccentric actions of the comptrolle1
general in arbitrarily raising assess
mentS.

A Letter From Snrin nrer.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Repre-
sentative Springer, of Illinois, who has
been confined to his home for some
weeks by sickness, has sent a letter to
Representative McMillin, of Ten
nessee, saying, 81 am advised by my
physician that the condition of my
health is such that the making of
my speech in the House in
the near future would probably
cause relapse, which might
result fatally in my present exhausted
condition. l must, therefore, abandon
the idea os closing the debate on the
bill, TO place wool on the free list and
reduce the duty On woolen goods.
This and the other bill should be passet
and sent to the Senate at as early {
day as possible. l hope to be able tt
appeal in the House on Monday next
and move the passage of the free WOO
bill above mentioned"

That Behring Sea Muddle,

AsHINGTON, March 29.-Prompt-
ly at 1l:3O this morning the cabinet
met in their room in the White House,
all the members being present. The
Behring sea question was tax en- up and
President Harrison's response to Lord
Salisbury's latest note was discussed.
"A prominent Senator, whose thorough
knowledge of what has occurred during
the executive sessions of the Senate On
the Behring sea treaty cannot be
doubted, said to-day that the ratifca-
ton OF the treaty as now contemplated
would be in accordance with the re-
port of the majority of the committee
ON foreign relations who have stead
lily opposed the addition of a
stipulation imposing a renewal of last
years agreement before the treaty
should become effective. He said that
a feeling of hostility toward the atti-
tude assumed by Great Britain had
been so strong in the Senate that the
report Of the minority of the foreign
relations committee would undoub ble dly
have been adopted, and the treaty sus
pended to await a renewal of the
modoS rirendi, had not Lord Salisbury
last notes expressed his willingness t.
arrange mutually satisfactory agree
ment.
LONDON, March 29.-In the Hous
of Commons to-day, Mr.. f. Gourley
Liberal member for Sunderland, aske,
whether Lord Salisbury's government
had refused to ierew the modus viUend
in the matter of the Behring Sea nego
tations. Mr.. Lowther, parliamentary
under secretary for the foreig
office, replied that it was not true tha
the government had refused to rene,
the modus riveadi, and he referred t
the latest dispatches as evidence {
that fact. The government had acte
as it thought necessary for the protet
ton Of the rights of British subject
engaged in seal hunting. This state
ment was received with cheers.

Important Railway Decision.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 20. Judge
Pugh in common pleas court to-day
rendered decision Of much impor-
tance in railway matters. Sometime
ago, Robert Garrett, the Baltimore
railway magnate, applied for the ap-
pointment of board to assess the
value of 1928 shares of stock held by
him in the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
St. Louis railway company and merged
without his knowledge and consent,
into the Columbus, Cincinnati, Chicago
and st. Louis railway company. The
decision grants the application upon
the ground that Mr.. Garrett did not
agree to the consolidation and he and
the two companies have been unable te
agree upon a value of the stock. 1t is
regarded as a decision greatly in the
interest Of minority stock holders. The
alleged value of the 1928 shares il
$4,000.

the Piedmont Warehouse in this city.
Two victims, Walter Tuttle, colored;

Venezuela's Latest Revolution.

Venezuela is the latest of the South
American republics to indulge in the
periodical luxury of a revolution. A
serious outbreak, according to dis
patch to the New York Herald, has
begun at the capital, Caracas. The
President of the Republic, Palacio,
anticipating trouble at the elections,
postponed them, but The dissatisfied
element did not wait for he decision
at the polls. but precipitated bloody
fight near the city between the Govern
ment troops and the revolutionists
The advantage thus far rests with
Palacio, but long and bloody con
test, it is feared, will follow. Guzma1
Blanco, so long dictator Of the coun
try, but who was deposed and driver
out some years ago, is thought to b.
at the bottom of the trouble.

In the room where the monkeys are

The Joke Was Entirely Too Funny.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, is goss1ping
over the arrest of Henry H. Powell, a
well-known citizen, on the charge Of
bigamy. His first wife, Georgiana
Powell, was married to him in Brook
lyn in 1878. About three weeks ago
he appeared at boarding house here
with another woman, and told the pro-
prie:or they were married. and showed
a marriage certificate. The first wife
hearing of this had him arrested to-day.
Powell testified that he was not mar
ried to the second woman, and said
the exhibition of the marriage certifi.
cate was a joke. Sarah Townsend
the alleged second wife. also testified
they were not married. She is q
widow with one child, and resides
there.
