 CHARLES J. SEARCY,
The Train Robber Suspect, Taken Back to
 Virginia for Trial.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Charles J. Searcy, who was arrested at Cumber- land, Md, suspected of complicity in the Aquia Creek train robbery was brought to this city early yes- terday morning in the custody of Sheriff Kennedy of Stafford county. Va, in which county the robbery oc- cured The prisoner was closely guarded and kept secluded in the Adams express building, which was tightly closed until last evening, when, heavily ironed, he was taken to fredericksburg, Va. From there he will be taken across the country to the little village of Stafford Courthouse this morning. The prisoner being only in transit and in custody of the Virginia authorities the local police took no part in either guarding oi transporting him.
 Robert Pinkerton who arrived from Cincinnati yesterday afternoon with Supt. Herring and Messenger Crutch. field, of the express company. accom- panied Sheriff Kennedy to Stafford.
 Pinkerton refused to answer any questions about Morganfield, the Gin. cinnati suspect, and the express of ficials were equally reticent. It is supposed that Searcy's examination will be held not later than tomorrow, as the express officials do not care to remain at Stafford longer than is nec- essary to see that Searcy is securely disposed of until his trial. No report CTS were permitted to see or talk with Searcy during his stay in this city or en route.

RECKLESS ROBBERS

Throw a Switch in Front of a Rapidly NOV
 ing Train, Making Ir Collide with Freight, and Then, Amidst fusiiiade or
 Firearms, Rob the Express and to Through the Train. Relieving Passengers of Their Xaluables.
 FoRT SMITH, Ark, Oct. 2l.-Ihe south-b bound Kansas City < Memphis express on the Missouri Pacific was held up and robbed at 10 o'clock last night by the Cooke gang of outlaws at Cowetta, a small station between Wagoner and Fort Gibson. When the train was within few feet of the switch man darted out from behind the embankment and threw the switch, running the train into the siding. It collided with a string of empty cars which was standing on the siding and was brought to sudden stop. The moment the train stopped the bandits began firing into the forward cars.
 There were eight or ten men in the gang who distributed themselves along the side of the train. Two of them mounted the engine and forced the en- gineer and fireman to alight. They were marched to the express car and threatened with instant death unless they compelled the express messenger to open the door of his car. The mes senger refused to open at first, but as the robbers kept firing fusillade of bullets through the side of the car he finally complied with the commands of engineer and fireman and threw open the ear door.
 Two robbers immediately entered and secured all the money in the local safe They commanded Messenger Ford to open the through safe. but when he explained that the combina- tion was only known at the main office at the end of the line, they left the car.
 Meanwhile the other robbers had been going through the train demand ing the money and valuables of the passengers. Before they had com pleted their work freight train which had followed the passenger closely out of Wagoner drew in sight, and Cooke ordered his followers out of the train. The gang instantly remounted their horses, and firing a parting volley at the train rode off in a northerly direc- tion.
 While the robbers were at work in- side the car their confederates on the outside kept up continual firing, which had the desired effect in soaring the passengers and trainmen and pre- venting resistance. Two men were wounded. one of whom, John Mahara, advance agent of minstrel company, may die. He was wounded in the forehead and taken back to Wag- oner on a freight train for medical attendance. William Brown, of Van Buren. Ark. was grazed in the cheek by rife ball. Detectives Dickinson and Hemick, of the Missouri Pacific special force were among those who were robbed. The entire train was riddled with bullets, every window being broken.
 Twenty deputy marshals from Little Rock passed through here this morning on their way to the scene of the rob- bery.

RUBBISH BURNING
How Citizens Violate the Ordinance
and Expect Immunity.

and Expect Immunity.
The burning OF leaves and rubbish dur
ing the afternoon. in violation of the or
dinance, has become perfect nuisance
and the expression of Indignation from
sufferers is loud and emphatic against
those who so wantonly disregard the
health of the community and the comfort
OF their neighbors, to say nothing of the
risk of being hauled up in the Police
Court some fine morning to answer
for it.
The police have as yet made no arrests,
having contented themselves with warn
lug people and compelling them to put
out the fires, but there is so much COM
plant that more vigorous measures are
to be taken.
Chlet Drew, in conversation with a
RECORD I MON reporter yesterday, gave
some instances OF how some VINO no
doubt think they are estimable citizens,
presume on their wealth, position or
personal friendship with him and expect
immunity.
One prominent lady to whom he went
the afternoon before demurred to putting
out the lire, and when he insisted on
compliance with his orders, she said it
was an outrageous ordinance and an
imposition. He replied that he did not
make 1t, but should enforce 1t, and if she
dlo not like 1t she must get it repealed.
a well-known citizen, presuming on
ms acquaintance, built large fire to
purn up some brush and green weeds.
and refused to put it out when neighbors
demonstrated. They told me about it
when L came home," said the Chief,
ana L told them l wished l had hap
pened along about that time. He would
nave put out that fire very quickly or
would have taken him to the station,
friend or no friend. People have no
business to try to take advantage that
way"
es," said an officer who was sitting
by; that is the way they treat the police
when they are told to extinguish the
hres. l told lady yesterday that she
must put out the fire, and she said, You
VIII have to see the doctor about it, /
tod her that the fire must be put out i'm
medlately, and that if had to see the
doctor about ii, should arrest him. She
doesn't ike me any more, and that is the
way it goes"
Ii one or two of those who thus pre-
sumo upon their position are arrested
ana nned, as poorer people would be, it
would probably deter others from follow
ing their example, and afford exemption
to lnvallds and others from a practice
which is menace to the health of the
community. 1t remains to be seen if it
will be done.
