THE FLEEING BANDITS.
The Iron Mountain Train Robbers
Having n Hard Run.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark Nov. 6-The
men engaged in hunting down the Iron
Mountain train robbers have been in
their saddles for the past forty-eight
hours. The robbers are in close quar-
ters not far from jamestown, where the
posse has them surrounded. If they at
tempt to break through the circle it
will be at the risk of their lives as the
hunters are becoming desperate.
The Jail birds were visited again this
morning. They are becoming gloomy
and despondent. There are indications
that the realization Of their crime is
just dawning upon them. Today both
Lemons and Arnett appeared fretful.
United States Marshal Abner Gaines
returned this morning from the scene of
the train robbery, where he had been
since last Saturday morning He reports
that nearly 100 men are in pursuit of
the bandits, who are now on foot and
moving in n southwesterly direction. He
feels confident that the robbers will be
run down very soon. At daybreak this
morning a posse met four robbers near
Weckerly's. They fired upon and pur-
sued them so closely that within an hour
the robbers abandoned their horses,
which were captured with their pro-
visions. They dropped three overcoats
and hats I'm their flight on foot. Jewelry,
watches, etc, were FOUND In coats and
saddle pockets. Bloodhounds were put
on their trail at noon and they We're fol-
lowed five miles when the dogs were
turned back, driven by one Of the
Weckerlys as is supposed, and the trail
was lost.
A special received mere at 10 o'clock
from Batesville says: At 3 p. m.
telephone message was received from
DIR. Weaver at jamestown stating that
two more OF the horses belonging to
the bandits had been captured. The
posse came upon the place. where the
bandits had camped the night before
and found some express way bills and n
lot OF watch crystals. Shortly after
o'clock part of the posse came in sight
Of the bandits and fired one solitary
shot. 1t is supposed that this shot was
a signal for the others Of the posse TO
round-by. Nothing has since been heard
from the seat OF war. The bandits are
without overcoats and some without
hats. They have no way of getting
provisions and are short on ammunition.
Two deputy marshals came from Muld-
row, Ind T., tonight and are preparing
to start out to capture the men. They
have every description of both men here
in jail and believe they are members Of
the Dalton gang.
The man supposed to be Arnett told
the jailer they might break his neck,
but it would not move him to make
statement. His pal seems to show signs
of weakening and suggested that they
might be mobbed.
well, let them hang u.s." said Arnett,
"they can't eat us"

it as something Of a myth. At any
rate I have received no communication
from them. The Elks is a good club

these offers every day, but Mitchell will
do nothing until he hears from the New
Orleans business and 1t is finally set

MIR. CARLISLE INTERVIEWED.
Has Given No Order Yet for the Coin
age of Silver.

age OL SnNGEs
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Mr. Carlisle,
secretary Of the treasury, arrived here
this morning. To a reporter of the
Evening Post Mr. Carlisle said that he
was here on official business. Mr.. Car
Isle declined to say anything in relation
to the financial and business situation or
express any opinion as to the outlook.
AS TO the condition of the treasury he
could say nothing as he did not consider
it wise or proper to transact the busi-
ness of the government through the
newspapers.
Through the misunderstanding Of a
treasury order or an erroneous dispatch
from Washington, the impression has
become general that Secretary Carlisle
has ordered the mints to coin the
seigniOrage Of the silver bullion now in
the treasury, that Is, the proportion Of
any given quantity of silver bullion that
would become seigniorage if the whole
Of that quantity were coined. In reply
to the question of a reporter for the
Evening Post Mr. Carlisle said that he
had not issued any order directing the
mints to coin the silver bullion now in
the treasury, nor any part Of it.
What 1 have done is just this" said
Mr.. Carlisle. 1--WE could use few more
silver dollars now and L have therefore
directed the mints TO get ready to coin
some of the bullion If it should be
deemed advisable to do so-that is,
have ordered them 70 prepare the ingots
and stamps If we should proceed to
coin some of the bullion now on hand
it would give US about 81, 100000 a month
in seigniorage, and that, as 1 have s9id
l think in the present condition Of the
treasury we could use TO advantage.

mints arose. An authoritative state
ment on the subject was issued from the
treasury -

Brutal Murder in Florida.

LAKE CITY, Fla, Nov. Cone of the
boldest murders ever committed in that
part of the country is reported from
Lake City Junction on the Savannah,
Florida e Western road two or three
miles from FIT. White and in the lower
portion of this county. William Duncan,
a white man, was killed in his store at
the junction in broad daylight, between
and 10 o'clock this morning. The
weapon used was a coupling pin and
with this his brains were beaten out
-Four negroes were seen by those living
near to go into his store this morning
and afterwards three of them were seen
going away with large bundles and
shortly after this the crime was discov-
cred by some one who went to the store.
Robbery was evidently the motive. The
store was ransacked and left in confu-
sion. The community was aroused and
a posse is in pursuit with dogs. 1t is
thought that one of the negroes has been
captured. If taken, they will doubtless
all be lynched.

meeting At 1920 tonight the repub-
lican aldermen, followed by a small
army OF their adherents, marched in
column Of twos TO the council chamber,
where they were greeted with loud
cheers and laughter by the waiting
democrats. Leaders Of the two factions
quietly got together and IL was de-
cided to avoid any possible repetition of
the scenes Of last Saturday. Every
vote was taken. McGillin having, on
motion of a republican alderman, been
chosen chairman, appointed as tellers
the four aldemen who acted in that
capacity at SATURDAY eleCllohs' IhSlc

from each of the thirty-four wards.

ing thrown in a vote for both Swift

THE LIBERAL PREsBYTERIANs
Meeting to he Held I'm Cleveland to
Decide n Policy.

CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.-About fifty OF
the most prominent liberal ministers of
the presbyterian church in the large
cities will meet in Cleveland on Wednes-
day to decide upon the policy for the
future. Every effort has been made to
keep the matter secret, though the re-
suit would be made known at all events.
Some of the most prominent Briggs
men in the country will be present The
circular which called the meeting says:
"The present condition of the presby-
terian church occasions deep solicitude
and calls for immediate and serious con-
sideration. Many ministers and elders
view with apprehension the tendency
to assumption and Capitalization of the
power and the disposition both to i'm
pose practically new dogma without due
constitutional process and to treat the
formal action and overtures Of presby-
teries with small respect. They fear lest
the reasonable tolerance and the liberty
Of opinion hitherto enjoyed under the
standards shall be abridged, and not a
few devoted office bearers crowded out
OF good ecclesiastical standing or even
out of the church. In this state Of
affairs II will not answer for loyal pres
byterians to be inactive or Indifferent.
We cannot afford 10 be silent under i'm
piled suggestions OF heterodoxy, nor to
seem TO acquiesce passively in arbitrary
assumptions, rigid eXclusiveness and un-
constitutional procedure. We must not
suffer, worthy brethren. TO be forced
needlessly to leave the church. A frank
conference OF wise and representative
men who shall consider what action Is
needed at this present juncture to main
tain our constitutional safeguards, en-
courage our disturbed brethren and give
frank expression TO our views and posi-
tions, seems to have to become an inn
perative necessity"
The call is issued by committee OF
the New York synod. which was ap-
pointed after the disposal OF the Briggs
case.

GUTHRIE, Ok. T., Nov. 6.-Attorney
Payne, who arrived from Chandler,
fifty-five miles east of this city, today
brought news of the murder of three
white ,men-two named Johnson and a
man named Wilkerson-by a negro last
night near the town of Ingram, twelve
miles west of Chandler 1t appears that
the negro came upon the men while they
were asleep and cut their throats with
a knife. The bodies when found had
been stripped of clothing. It is known
that one Of the Johnsons had $1S6. The
negro was pursued by a posse, and it
was reported here that he was captured
in the Kickapoo Indian lands. 1t is pos
sible that he is a member of that tribe
as a number of negroes and Mexicans
live with the Indians.

barked in a thirty-foot yawl shortly
after noon to return to their homes.
The sea in the bay was running HIGH
but the yawl, with a double reefed sail,
successfully battled with the waves
until within 400 feet of the long dock
at South Beach, where the men were
to disembark. The sail had just been
lowered when a sudden squan struck
the boat BY quick work the yawl was
kept from overturning, but the sea
washed completely over the craft several
times.
All hands were set to work bailing
with their hats, the only things at
hand. For some minutes the men were
successful in keeping the yawl ahoat,
but a large wave struck the boat and
filled her completely. The yawl sank.
leaving the twenty-five men struggling
in the water. The catastrophe was wit
messed by people shore on South
Beach. Small boats were hurriedly
manned and sent out to rescue the
workmen.
