BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Nov. 2-Passenger
train No. 8 of the Kansas City, Memphis
& Birmingham railroad was held up at !
In the morning a few miles east Of New
Albany, Miss, by three masked men and
the express car looted of it's contentS
Conductor w. B. Leonard, who was In
charge of the train, reached Birmingham
at 8 o'clock, and from him the facts were
learned. He said:
my train pulled out Of New Albany
about O'Clock In the morning. Shortly
after getting under full Roadway the train
began to slack up and was soon Mt q
standstill. As 1 afterward discovered
three masked men had boarded the tender
Of the engine at New Albany and covered
Engineer Campbell and Fireman Alexan-
der with pistols.
Stopped in the Woods.
They compelled them to stop at q des-
ignated point in the woods a few miles
east of New Albany When the train
stopped was in the baggage car.
II went to the side door and opened 1t
only to be greeted with several pistol
shots from one of the robbers. showed
the door shnt, but turning around saw
two Of the robbers already in the baggage
car with pistols covering me. The en-
ginecr and fireman were made to dis
mount and an unsuccessful attempt was
made to uncouple the engine. Express
Messenger Jeannette's car was forced
open, the robbers covering me with pis-
tolls all the time and we were forced to
give up the contents of the safe
Disappeared in the Darkness.
Putting the booty in a bag the robbers
back off into the woods with their pistols
still pointed at us and disappeared in the
darkness. We did not see their faces at
any time"
Officers Of the Southern Express COM
pany give it out that only a lot of cheap
jewelry and vouchers constituted the rob-
bcrs' booty. 1t is suspected, however, that
the express company is lying low on this
subject for their ownr easons The gener-
al belief Is that the robbers were amateurs,
although they did things up in shape
There Is not the slightest Chew to their
identity.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
DELEGATES ELECTED ARE IN FA- VOR OF SARGENT AND CALLAHAN.

Surprises in Several wards-The MeGann and Clancy Factions Sietorious-sharp .ontests in Many wards-Giihuiy's Dc feat in tho siIth-other ! esuits.
 The democratic primaries of last night furnishes surprises all around. In fact, as far as general nominations were concerned there was hardly any necessity for primaries. For the con trol of the wards. however, there was necessity for primaries. and the result in many wards was a surprise. It was clearly demonstrated that the Sixth ward does not belong to Commissioner Gilhuly. It was another surprise to see a young man named Coogan give Moore such a rub in the Seventh ward. Then, again, the announcement by Frank Foley that he would not be the nominee of the democrats In the Twelfth ward was another surprise.
 The result Of the primaries shows that the slate will be the renomination of the present incumbents, with but few exceptions. Sargent will be renominat- ed for mayor. The only change In the city ticket, probably. will be the nom- ination of Mills for auditor. Francis c. Anthony will be the nominee Tor tax collector in place of T. A. Tuttle, and Major T. F. Callahan, now Of the probate office, will be nominated Tor town agent Otto Wall was spoken Of for selectman at one time. This must have been In jest, for Otto, though he is very popular, has no earthly show of being nominated. With the exception of Callahan for town agent the present democratic members of the board Of selectmen will no doubt be renominat- ed. No change as to candidates for assessors Is indicated.
 FIRST WARD.
 There was but one ticket in the First ward. There is no choice for alderman ic and councilmanic nominations. The town delegation Is unpledged. but may be looked upon to support dark horse
 
 for one of the selectmen. It Is favorable to Major Callahan for the town agency The following is the list of delegates Town-Albert WiGman, E. Louis Edgar, James II. Kelly; alternate at large, William A. Wright.
 City-Edward R. Sargent. Charles H Crockett, Patrick F. Beirne, alternate al large, Frank c. Miles.

 Ward committee-George R. Cooley Francis G. Beach, William A. Wright.
 SECOND WARD.
 The only contest in this ward was over the town committeeman. Four hundred and twelve ballots were cast of which Richard F. Berry received 9( majority. The successful ticket hat as delegates the following:

tective barrier to the importation of Cana dian agricultural products. The farm products of New York deserve protection equally with the rice of South Carolina and the sui Jar of Louisiana.
 We denounce the administration for striking out tbe agricultural schedule of the Mckinley bill and substituting an ag- ricutural free list fruught with ruin to the farmers.
 We favor an honest dollar and oppose any effort, whether by the repeal of the tax on state bank issues or the free coinage of silver, to lower our currency standard, and we favor an international agreement which shall result in the use of both gold and sli- yer as circulating medium.
 Nominations were then in order. Gen. Benjamin F. Tracey, ex- secretary ot the navy, nominated Levi P. Morton for gov ernor, Colonel Baxter of Chemung nomi- hated J. Sloat Fassett, Sllas B. Butcher nominated Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford, E. A. Nash of Cuttlraugus nominated ten. Daniel Buttertield, and F. Parker of St. Lawrence county nominated Judge Leslie w. Russell.
 It was 755 p. m. when the first roll call was finished. The result was as follows: Morton 532b, FAssett 69%; Woodford 40, Butterfielu z9. Russell 2U, Bliss 40h, Ar kell 1.
 The result was not announced, but 1t was apparent that Morton had an over whelming majority, and amid cheers Sllas
  made unanimous. The motion was sec onded by Col. Archie Baxter, who nomi- mated MT, Fassett.
 Then there were shouts for Fassett. The redoubtabe young chieftain from Che- mung stood on chair, and after the dele gates shouted themselves hoarse, he said:
 ''The republican platform is the platform for me. l know of only one will and that is the freely expressed will of 732 republ1- cans of the state of New York. You have chosen wise and experienced general. Like him 1 stand ready to be promoted to be brigadier- general or to serve ln the ranks. The man you have selected is an older and a wiser and more experienced soldier than l. can only say that in the ranks l stand ready to go wherever he may direct.''
 MT. Fassett was followed by General York on behalf of MT. Bliss, Judge Leslie Russell and Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, |, who each seconded the motion to make the nomination of Mir. Morton unanimous. When all these had been heard it was after S:30 o'clock, and a recess was then taken until 10 D. m.
 On reassem bling nominations for lieuten- ant-governor were decided to be in order, and Col. Anson Woods presented the name of Charles l.. Saxton. George w. Aldridge and James A. Wadsworth were also placed before the convention in brief eulogistic Green were named and then Ex- Senator Frank Hiscock, in brief speech, presented the name of ExSenator Francis Hendricks of Syracuse, formerly collector of the port of New York. The roll call was finished at 12:37 a. m. Saxton had $40 votes. No results. Leslie w. Russell then rose and asked that the vote of Schoharie be changed to 'Saxton. Other changes then gave Saxton 1 the election.
