The Train Robbers.

STAFFORD c. H., Va, Feb. 2O.-The
trial of the Aqua Greek train robbers
which began here to-day has drawn to-
gether very large crowd. In addition
to those Immediately interested there
were present many of old Staford's solid
citizens. This trial will be long drawn
out. The court, Judge Ashton pre-
siding, convened at IL a. m. and slow
progress is being made in securing q
jury. After debarking from the train at
Brookes Station. the prisoners, Searcey
and Morganield, closely guarded by a
special posse armed with winchester
rifles, were placed on wagons, Searcey
handcuffed to Detective Hines, and
Morganfeld still on the cot that he
has occupied since be was brought from
the West. He stubbornly refuses to
help himself in any way. There has
been nothing said as yet of any one ap.
peariDg for Searcey. This would seem
to indicate that he is relying solely on
certain promises, which it was said
were made him by the Adams Express
officials and the State authorities, of le-
nieDcy in the prosecution if he would
tell where the missing pouch could be
found and who were his accomplices.
Rumor has it that Searcey's confession
duplicates others.

NOTWITHSTANDING the fact. as here
tofore stated in the GAZETTE. that
neither the stock nor bond holders OF the
Southern Railroad Company have Tor
several years received cent oflntereSe,
owing to the decreased net receipts OF
that road, the representatives OF the
employees thereof now in Washington
refuse to accept the terms offered by
the company owning the road, and
have practically referred the matter OF
a strike to strangers, not interested IN
the road or its welfare, or in that of it's
employees. The company has done
what many others, under like circum-
stances, would not have done, made to
its employees full and complete state
ment of its financial condition, By which
it appears, to all reasonable people, that
it can not, at this time, afford to IN
crease their wages. The case is so
plainly against them now, that even
the labor organ of the State, the Rich
mond Star, comedies that the company
is not to blame, and ventures the as
sertion that it will not have any diff
Guilty with its employees. For the real
FOOD of the latter it is hoped so, for in
these straitened times it is we'll for all
people who have employment to retain

FORMERLY horse racing was one of
tue recognized and approved sports of
Virginia, and was patronized by the
most reputable and respected people of
the State. There are two race tracks
now in Alexandria county. Races, like
fairs, circuses and other suburban at
fractions, draw to them disreputable, as
well as reputable people, not only in
Virginia, but everywhere else, at home
and abroad. The race course proprie-
tors cannot preserve law and order out
side of their enclosures, nor on the roads
leading, or on the cars going to their
tracks. That duty devolves upon the
county officers, and as the racing season
will soon commence those officers
should be made to understand that un-
less they perform that duty efficiently
they will be deposed in short order, and
their places be given to men who will
do it satisfactorily.

In THE o. S. House of Representa-
tives yesterday, proposition to give
the labor employment board at the
Norfolk navy yard clerk was defeated
by large majority, as it should have
been. The employment boards are a
part of the civil service humbug. They
are republican boards, and it is due to
them that most of the republican
employees of the navy yards, appointed
under the Harrison regime, are retain
ed, and that it is almost impossible for
q democrat to be appointed.

by which all the State officers elect

removed, whereat the mugwumps and

CONGRESS.

at nine o'clock last night the Senate
adjourned, after determined but fruit
less effort on the part of the silver men,
leh bv Mr.. Jones, of Arkansas, to pass
the bill for the unrestricted coinage of
silver. Mr.. Jones himself made the
motion to adjourn, after it had been
made evident that voting quorum of
Senators could not be held in the Sen
ate chamber for an all-night struggle.
One of the surprises Immediately pre-
ceding the adjournment was a resolu
ton submitted by MIR. Wolcott, of Col
orado, one of the most active silver
leaders, declaring that, while the well
fare of the country required the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,
vet, in view of the near adjournment of
Congress, and the pressing demand of
appropriation bills, it was inexpedient
to enter upon the consideration of the
silver bill at the present session of Con-
gress. No action was taken on the
resolution, but it was regarded as sig
ni6cantly foreshadowing the course of
the silver bill when it comes up to-day.
Mr.. Villas for four hours in a carefully
prepared speech defended the admins
tration for the recent bond contract.
When Mr.. Villas concluded &C
tive steps were taken by the
silver men to force a final vote.
Mr.. Platt argued on the bill, being fire.
quently interrupted by points of no
quorum and roll calls, and suggestions
for closing debate. MIR. Jones appealed
to the opposition to fix time for vote
to-day, but no agreement could be
reached. Vain efforts were made to Sc
cure voting quorum, although quo
rum was present most of the time,
many Senators refusing to vote. This
tedious process continued until nine
o'clock, when Mr.. Jones reluctantly
yielded and the long session closed.
The House spent the day in the furth-
er consideration of the naval appropria-
ton bill. The points of order made by
Mr.. Savers against the items for the in
crease of the enlisted force of the navy
were oYerruled, and his amendments
looking to their elimination were de-
feated. The committee on naval ahaira
were victorious on every test of
strength taken. The paragraphs pro-
yiding for the increase of the navy
(battleships and torpedo boats) will be
reached to-day, and the committee is
sanguine that the increase recommend
ed will be authorized.
