Hold Up an Express the Southern Pa cific and Get Safe on with Their lsooty They Are Pursued by Sherins' Posses and One of Their Number Mortslly Wounded-The Officers Again In Hot Pursuit. .PHENIx, Ariz., Oct. a-The Southern Pacific east-bound express was held up two miles east of Maricopa late Sun day night by three men. two of whom were masked. They boarded the train
 as it was leaving Maricopa, capturing the head brakeman. who was com
 pelled to turn on the air-brakes and
 stop the train. The engineer and head
 brakeman. with pistols at their heads. were compelled to go back to the ex-
 press car and induce the messenger
 to open the doors. One of the ban dits then entered the car and searched for valuables, while the others guarded each side of the train.
 The amount taken is not known, but it is supposed to be small.
 The trainmen were then marched
 away short distance and liberated,
 the robbers mounting their horses and
 starting southward. Sheriff Drais, of
 Pinal county. and Sheriff Murphy, of Maricopa, were at once telegraphed.
 Drais sent q posse from Casa Grande
 to the scene of the robbery, while
 Murphy sent several posses out to in tercept the fugitives.
 Sheriff Murphy and Deputy Widmer
 reached the camp of the suspected men, seven miles east of the city. about 8 o'clock next morning. The only occu-
 pant was Frank Armour, Tonto
 Basin cowboy. who commenced shoot ing as soon as the officers came in sight. The officers returned the fire
 with shotguns, mortally wounding their man.
 Their horses. which were badly jaded, were fsund near by as well as their rides, but the remainder of the
 gang had disappeared.
 Deputy Prothcro and posse are in pursuit and it is expected they will capture the others in a few hours. The men are undoubtedly the same who robbed the Congress stage several weeks ago. Some watches, taken from strcet-car employees few nights ago. were also found in the camp. The
 penalty for train robbery in Arizona is death.

 s'When slavery was abolished" he says, many southern men believed and predicted that the growth of cot ton would fall into decay, and that the manufacturing world would have to look to other countries for the supply. But in less than a generation the cot ton product was about doubled. not withstanding the fact that hundreds of thousands of negroes deserted the fields for the towns. leaving not Q great many more to plant and pick out cotton than were thus employed in slavery times.
 Where this tendency of the popula- tion is going to stop the statesman says he can not see. He has analysed the returns for Massachusetts,a and finds in that state seven times as many peo- pie live Tn towns as in the country. Delaware he shows has smaller agri- cultural population now than in 1860, although the total population has in creased 50 per cent. Maryland's agri- cultural population new is smaller than it was ten years ago, although it's total population shows steady increase.

The Greatest Scheme Ever Proposed for A
 Union of Presbyterian Churches.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Oct. 2.-At its meet ing in the Grafton church to-day. the Pittsburgh presbytcry will consider the greatest scheme ever brought be- fore it for federal union of the Cum berland Presbyterian church, the United Presbyterian church. the Asso- ciated Reformed Synod of the South. the German Reformed church. the Gen eral Synod of the Dutch Reformed church and the Prcsby ytcrian church. Rev. Dr. James NJ. Maxwell, of Monon- gahela city, will present an elaborate report on the subject.
 The plan of federation, as sent down to the lower judicatories by the high est church courts in America, Is a federal union of the above named de- nominations, to promote cooperation in their home and foreign missionary work, to keep watch on current, reli- gious, moral and social movements and take such action as may concentrate the influence of all the churches in the maintenance of the truth that our na- tion is Protestant Christian nation and all that is therein involved. It is an effort to consolidate forces. organ ize more effectually and centralize the dissentient forces in order to move in union and rapidly on a given com mand

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April 2S.-The San
Francisco and Oakland Industrial army
iramped today from beyond CORTLAND to
Richland. fifteen miles south of Sacra-
mento. Their road was along the river
bank and lined with orchards in which
cherries are now ripenlug. The army
went into camp in Gammon's large ware
house on the bank of the river where the
men will pass the night. Sheriff ONeil is
at CORTLAND, near by. He will remain
there tonight Telephone reports from
Courtland and from Senntor johnson,
near whose residence they are camped. are
to the effect that tho tourists number
nearly LOO, and so far have conducted
themselves quietly and peaceably.
The sheriff expected 20 swear In num-
Der Of deputies along the river, but has
not found it necessary to do so. just
what may occur when the army reaches
the city is hard to tell. The men will
probably be ignored, but if they commit
any breach of the law the officials viii act
promptly. The probability is they will
not be permitted to camp on any OF the
state property and there are no uuoccupied
buildings large enough to accommodate
them. There is plenty Of open country
just outside the city.

CHICAGO, April 2S-Another request

day for conference Of the interested lines
upon the emigrant question. All things
are ripe for such q conference il any assur.
ance could be obtained that the Union
Pacific would be a partner to IL, or would
be willing to observe thu results of the

question that TIE Southern Poetic is
growing very restless under the present

immovable; the only thing than can be
made To give way is the Union Pacific, for
the others say they will not bulge an

made the request today for a confereacs
and although no formal answer has vet
been returned TO him, there is not much
probability that the conferences will be
held
The Western Passenger association lines

In reply to question by Mr.. Hale as to
his attitude toward a sugar amendment
offered in the interest OF the refiners and
not of the consumers. Mr., Harris said
while not IN favor of aiding the sugar trust
he should not hesitate in choosing between
continuation of the Mckinley law and a
measure which WAS better but not so
much better rs he should like
Mr.. Sherman argued earnestly against
the proposed amendment to change the
date when the bill shall take effect.

LIKE VETERANS,
Kelly's Army Marches Twenty Miles and
Still Eager to Move On.

VAN METER, Iowa. April 2S-Kelly's
army started on the last stretch of its for
ty-mile march about $50 tonight with the
expectation of reaching DesMoines in the
morning. The army struggled into Van
Meter during the afternoon, some in wag-
ons some on the road and others on the
railroad tracks The men were footsore,
hot aud dusty. from their twenty.mile
journey from Stuart but were determined
TO go ahead and urged Kelly to lead them
on. Camp was made In u grove half a
mile from town on the Coon river.
The cool, clear waller looked re-
freshing and within fifteen minutes
500 men were shouting and splashlng in
the stream. After the swim, supper was
served and the men lolled about on the
ground resting for the tedious tramp.
Kelly wired the Des Moines reception
committee to send ont wagons 10 meet the
men during the night. He said he would
make the city by three o'clock in tue
morning and thus give his men time to
rest and prepare for the reception they ex-
pect to receive from the laboriug men
there. The night march was as interest
ing to people along the route as it was
wearying to the men and all night long
little crowds gathered to see the UNIQUE
procession go by. The Rock Island road
ran all of their engines out of Des Moines
today and will keep tue yards there as
clear of rolling stock as possible while the
army remains there

Depression of the nervous system Of any
kind is likely to cause u condition Of mu-
cous membranes of the nose and throat so
nearly resembling catarrh that many times
they are identical Also chronic diseases
which depress the nervous system will
produce the same result. They Gauss a

ton, which causes much hawking or cough
ing. properly called catarrh. the whole
trouble being caused by nervous depression,

toms OF catarrb. the patient has brown
specks before the eyes, slight dizziness,
roaring in the ears, attacks of nervous
headache, palpitation of the heart, flashes
of heat. followed by slight, chilly sensa-

Following is table summarizing as
Near as nossihle the CoXeY movement:

WASHINGTON, April 2s-Wasbineton
police officers were in consultation today
preparing to receive the army OF the Com
menweal The statute books fairly
bristle with ordinances, many OF which
have not been enforced for years, but all
Of the obsolete ones will be resurrected for
the benefit of the visitors. There are so
many of them the Coxeyites will be
obliged to walk very circumspectly in
deed, to avoid giving offense.
While the authorities are not yet certain
that Coxey will eDcamp at Brightwood,
they are preparing To enforce the law un-
der which be will be compelled to pay for
n license if he corralS his cohorts within
the enclosure and charges admission. A
forelaste of the policy to be pursued was
given today in the case OF two characters
OF Coxey's army who had been cast forth
for drunkenness, had wandered ahead to
spy out the promised land and were ar
rested for begging on the streets. They
were sent TO the work house this morning
for sixty days.
Although the police are not Informed
that Cexey will pitch his tents In Bright
wood, that is the fact. An attache of the
generals came in this afternoon to for
mally accept the tender of the grounds Ia
behalf of his chief.
Unknown" Smith has an army of
thirty men, which ne says DumDerS seven
ty-five, and which will camp at Chevy
Chase, if its program is followed, hoping
for a reconciliation with the main band.
Citizen Redstope goes to Rockville in
the morning to march with the army.
Major Moore has issued to the members
of the police force general order as fol-
lows:
your numbers will be increased tenn
porarily and it is expected members of the
augmented force will conduct themselves
with such discretion at all times as will
merit the appreciation Of the community
and will reflect credit on the department.
PAY special attention 10 the protection
of persons and property within the con-
fines of yonr beat.
Extend TO strangers in the city every
courtesy.
Suspicious and idle persons caught
lounging about public places or institu-
tions, or begging upon the public streets
from door to door, should be dispersed or
apprehended.
do not use force in making an arrest
unless absolutely necessary, and never
make q personal matter of an arrest.
Keep your heads clear and eyes open,
and make no distinctions in persons in
maintaining the law.
"The frat principle to be remembered is
the prevention of disorder and crime.

WITHIN A DAY.
One More Days March Will Bring
Coxey's Command to the Capital.

GATHERBURG, Md, April 2S.-The army
of commonwealsrs slept last night with
little shelter. Breakfast was of hard tack
and coffee. The march from Frederick
thus far has been through hamlets only
and contributions have been meagre. The
army is feeling stress Of low diet. Their
spirits decline with their physical defec-
iion and the result is there are ali sorts of
runners of strike Thus Coxey will have
difficulty in keeping the following together
as an object lesson before congress.
The maintenance of these men all sum-
mer is grave question, which now con-
fronts Coxey. On this point Mr.. Coxey
said: I'VE rely upon the public at large
TO support this movement. If the enter
prise is not maintained by the people in
whose interest it is, then it must fall. but
we believe and rely without doubt upon
public support"
Can you personally afford to maintain
these men through the summer or for any
extended periodS" was asked.
Indeed, | cannot" replied Coyey
"The fact is that l have sought not to
appear as paving the expenses of this
journey and l have said as little as pos
sibls about what L have paid. / will
state. however, that | paid all Quitting
of this expedition up 10 start, except SIS.
which WAS presented. Contributions
along the Lns until after Pittsburg was
resched were quite ample, but since then
] have been obliged to pay expenses most
Of the time.
Coxsy's army is to be moved Sunday
morning to Brightwood park on the edge
of Washington. Coxey's reasoning is that
big crowd viii come from Washington
on Sunday to see his army. His plan is TO
get canvass and charge 25 cents admission
10 all visitors, receipts 10 go toward main
tanning camp.
ROCKVILLE, Md, April IS The Quaker
crowd greeted with three lusty cheers the
arrival of the original Coxeyites this
afternoon. Then the Jones contingent
stepped out and the entire column moved
into town and the first junction of Coxey
armies had been made. Nothing had been
seen of Unknown" Smith and his con-
siDgent until down the main street. there
came out from the curb sound of hiss.
Ing. Marshall Brown was Just then pass.
Ing ana the Kisses We're for him and they
came from dozen OF Smiths men, who
sat on the grass along the edge of the
street. Brown turned in his saddle and
glanced st the men kissing him, but the
instant he recognized them he put his
face straight ahead and gave no further
heed.
1--WE won't go to Coxey's army" shouted
