HOLD UP YOUR HANDst

The Imperious Order Given to a PasseI-
ger Conductor by Couple of Bold
Train Robbers On a Mississippi Valley
Passenger Train-The Express Car Saved
by the Pluck and Address of CoIored
Porter.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. s.-The Missis-
sippi Valley passenger train that arr
rived here at sos yesterday morning
was held up at the crossing of the
Vicksburg & Meridian railroad, just
south of Vicksburg at los a. m. The
train was stopping at the railroad
crossing waiting for the Vicksburg &
Meridian train to pass, when it was
boarded by two masked men. A third
man was standing guard on the tracks.
Conductor Morris, in an interview,
gave the following account of what
happened on the train:
1--WE were just few miles out of
Viclsburg station, and had reached
the Viclxsburg & Meridian road s cross
ing in the suburbs of the city. The
train always stops at this point and
the engineer waits for some one to
come and flag the train. ] was in the
second car in the train. 1t is divided
into two compartments, the part in
front of the partition being passen-
ger compartment and the rear a bag
gage room. was standing in the
front compartment with Mr.. Dorsey,
the baggagemaster, when l heard a
man yell: ''Hold up your handsr'
Il looked through the door and saw
two men, both masked, marching the
porter down the aisle toward us. They
had us covered with pistols and, of
course, our hands went up. One fell
low was a big man weighing, L judge,
about 16o pounds. He kept us COW
cred while his partner, small man,
went through our pockets The little
man was evidently new at the busi-
ness. Dorsey was searched first.
He had no gun and nothing was
taken from him. Then they turned
their attention to me- had no weapon.
He left $40 bill in my vest pocket and
other little articles which | had in
other pockets. They marched US to
the express car and ordered me to open
the door. / told them the door was
bolted. Then kick it in, said the big
man and kicked. was still kicking
on the door when the porter, finding
himself for a moment uncovered by the

rushed to the rear. The two men
jumped off and in moment later dis
appeared in the darkness.
Just as the men got off the train
the express messenger opened the ex-
press car. The robbers evidently be-
came frightened when they saw the
porter jump off and run to the rear.
All the time we were being searched
the engineer kept blowing his whistle
for some one to come and flag the Mis-
slssippi Valley crossing. 1t is the porter's
business to do this. The engineer said
we were stopped eight minutes at the
crossing.
''When the robbers appeared I was
looking over circular, and when ]
heard the order to hold up my hands l
thought it was a joke of some fellows
about the roundhouse near by and
did not hold up both my hands at first,
but held up one hand, the other hang
ing down with the circular in it.

must go up in a very loud voice that

lector Of Nevada Frank Anderson was
convicted in the circuit court here yes
terdav of embezzlement of funds be-
longing to the city, in the year 1891,

linquent tax lists in such manner as to
secure credits in his favor to which he

case over 5000. A new trial will be de-

WARRANTS ISSUED
For the Arrest of Representatives Absent

For the Arrest of Representatives Absent
Without Leave.
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE adoption
by the house yesterday of the resolu-
ton, offered by Representative Catch
ings, instructing the sergeant-at-arms
to arrest membe bsent without leave,
caused no little excitement in and
around the hall of the house. 1t is
not expected that any serious penalty
will be inflicted upon absentees when
they are brought before the bar. At
least all previous experience goes to
sustain that belief. But it has been
proposed that in this instance a fine
shall be imposed in each case, which
will reimburse the contingent fund
for the amount expended in bringing
the members to Washington. This
suggestion was received with favor
and it may be enforced by the house.
The warrant of the speaker has been
issued for the arrest of the following
representatives:
Democrats: Allen (Miss.), Barnes
CWis.), Boatner La.), Brown lind. J,
Bum IN. c., Cadnlus IN. J.), Cobb

Upon the announcement MIR. Reed sug.
gested that the sergesnt-st.arm bring
to the bar such members Ss were under
arrest. "We ought to have the regular
daily Jail delivery" he added amid
laughter. The demand was due to the
fact that Sergeant at. Arms Snow had
arrested several members on the floor
yesterday afternoon for having sbsented
themselves from the sessions, and
Deputy Sergeant Hill made thirty more
arrests on the floor. This 10 almost

brought to the bar Of the house and the
validity Of the warrants was questioned,

to the anniversary Of the birth Of

thereupon withdrew his motion.
There was q good deal Of excitement
on the floor and Mr.. Reed tried to renew
