 AFTER THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
 Conductor Green of the Baltimore and Ohio rairt ad arrived in Washington today rom cum oerland, Md. lie Qld not learn any additional facts concerning the one arrested at Cumberland last night beyond those heretofore giveo. or of the two arr rests at Cherry Run, w. Va., yesterday. He, however, confirmed that news, and re- ported that the authorities were on the track of four men in addition to the three arrested. Of these three two had been ppced in jail at Martinsburg this morning. They had boarded freight train and had numerically beaten the conductor. Ono of them had very large nickle- plated re- volver.
 The conductor says the line of the rail- road has been infested with toughs for sev- eral weeks. There were confidence men on his train today, and nearly every train is troubled with them. They have been at the Maryland county fairs and now are seeking other fields, giving a great deal of dozen or more of them have been on the Baltimore and Ohio trains, and have att tempted to swiDdle passengers. Ibis last statement is important in it's possible bear ing on the arrests as indicating that the two men in jail et Martinsburg may have other reasons than participation in the train robbery for wishing to avoid the police. AL the same time the belief is ex- pressed con fidenty that the right men have been caught. >-
 In the case of the Cum berland arrest the express company officers here believe that they have hot clew, and they throw aside little of their reserve and Say so. The re- port that the men captured are the robbers is believed by them.

THE EDITOR WINS.
mand for a Change of Venue. Five Judges Against One.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 17.-The most re- markable situation in the history of the district court was on this morning, when two different judges in two different rooms of the buildings were engaged in hearing the same case.
 Judge Scott, said to be personal enemy of Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee, announced this night that he would cer- tainly insist on trying the criminal libel suit of Sophia Bennett against Rosewater despite the request of the editor for change of venue and the decision of the other five judges that the case should be taken from Judge Scott and tried before Judge Ambrose.
 When court convened Judge Scott took up the case, being upheld and sustained by the county attorney, and entered upon the hearing of the motion to dismiss the re- quest for change of venue. Mrs. Bennett declared it her intention to refuse to prose- cute before any other judge than Scott.
 At the same hour Judge Ambrose called up the case and continued 1t until 2 o' o'clock. Judge Scott heard and granted the motion to dismiss presented by Mrs. Bennett and delivered long declaration of principles, declaring the other judges to be swayed by fear of Rosewater. He insisted that the other judges had no right to transfer the case from his docket, but that he had ex elusive jurisdiction, and in exercising this jurisdiction he dismis sed the motion.
 The motion was still before Judge Am prose for hearing this afternoon. Mrs. Bennett positively refused to recognize Judge Ambrose's court in any manner and will stand by Judge Scott. The general feeling is from a legal standpoint that Judge Scott is right.
 Later Judge Scott dismissed the case against Rosewater on motion of the county attorney by request of the plaintiff Mrs. Sophia Bennett.
 Mrs. Bennett made this request because she feared she would lose the case other wise.
 She wanted the case tried before udge Scott, but five other judges had said Am prose was the only one having the right to try it, and she looked upon tbe action of the five judges as indicative of their deter mination to clear RoseWater.

 General Howe urged the railway com pany to send the train forward at the ut most speed.

The mob is so incensed against the soldiers now that a small force would be in danger there. General Howe is afraid the mob in it's frenzy over tue shooting of tue citiZsns may try to blow up the whole jail and court house. The command of Colonel ACoir is now in the jail, and this would result in a terrible loss of life.

THE GUARDIANS VIEW.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 1.-The Guardian, in it's commercial article, says: "The mar ket has been influenced by rumor from Liverpool that the estimate of the new cot ton crop has been reduced to g 1000, ,000 bales, for the reason that it is unprottable to pick more at present low prices. Although this was not generally regarded as serious, some dealers covered their shorts, and others, anxious to catch the bottom price, bought: lacking in energy. Producers who were recently selling freely have refused the cur rent price, preferring to wait, but the inn portant markets are not sanguine, not be- ing able to see where large buying is to come from. The cloth sales have been small, but at steadier prices. and there has been an average business in yarns.

TO PROTECT FARMERS.
Georgia Agricultural Society Take, Steps to Devise Means for Re- {
 lief of Cotton Planters.

ATLANTA. Ga., Oct. 17.-A special meet ing of the executive committee of the Geor- gia State Agricultural society has been called to assemble in Macon on Wednes- day, the 24th instant, tto consider the present ruinous price of cotton, and to take some steps, if possible, to remedy and avert impending disaster.
 The call is issued by Hon. John o. Wad-. dell, president of the State Agricultural society. The meeting will take place oIx the second day of the state fair, whicD begins at Macon on the 23rd instant. v
 President Waddell in issuing the Il says he wishes to be distinctly underS 5d as opposing the selling of cotton to tAe1n- jury of creditors, but it Is believed that the best interest of debtor and creditor will be snbserved if advances can be secured on cotton SO as to allow 1t to be held over, thus stopping the large daily receipts and at the same time giving the farmers op- portunity of securing advances on their cotton by which they can meet their obli- gations, and at the same time hold their cotton for better prices.
 Part of the call reads as follows:
 IA brief suggestion as to the plans in- dicated: Money is plentiful and at low in- terests in the banks. TLese banks and commission merchants, z who are our friends, can be induced to advance reas- enable amount on cotton and thus allow the farmer to hold his cotton another year, and, at the same time enable him to pay his obligations to nearly the full amount of bis cotton. At present prices it is impossible to more than pay the cost of cultivation, picking, ginning and for guano, leaving the farmer nothing with which to meet other just obligations, If the plans and suggestions which you may promulgate shall be adopted by the other cotton states we believe good results will follow.
 'sThere can be no doubt that the cotton acreage will of necessity be greatly reduced another year, the crop reduced in conss- quence, and the cotton carried over com-I mand better prices.''
