MACON. Miss, Jan. 2.-Just before
the arrival of the Unbound train this
morning City Marshal Colt was wired
that two suspicious characters, sus-
pected of being the parties who robbed
the train on the Alabama Southern
railroad two nights ago near York sta
ton, were on the train. and he arrested
them at Macon. He aroused Sheriff
Darrah, but the train reached here be-
fore they got to the station. They met
two men OIL the plank walk which leads
to the station. but had no rea-
son to think they we're the
ones wanted. Arrived at the
depot, Deputy United States Marshal
McCune told them that the two they had
McCune got in hack to head them off
and Sheriff Darrah followed them back
on the walk. Scott and McCune halted
the men and what next occurred is still
mystery. One of the robbers seized
Marshal McCune suddenly, disarmed
him, and holding him between himself
and Scott. ordered the latter to throw
down his gun. Scott could not fire with
out hitting McCune. and obeyed orders.
The second robber then picked up
Scott's shot gun and haltod Sheriff
Darrah, who came up at that time. Scott
and McCune being disarmed were pow
erless to do anything further. With
one robber pointing his gun
and the other with his pistol in his face,
they searched Darrah, but so hastily
that they failed to find his pistol. They
(the three officers) were then told to
move on and be blamed quick about it,
The robber walked back towards the
railroad bridge and were not heard from
afterwards. having crossed the railroad

RECCAXI

At the outset of the discussion of the
currency question the GLOBE took the
position that it should be treated for
what it is, purely business question,
having-nO element OF partisanry in it.
To be sure, there is the underlying
question of the source of the issues Of
paper representatives of money, and on
this there is a radical difference of opin-
ion, not dividing, however, on party
lines, save as to the Populist cOntin-
gent. Republicans and Democrats dis
agree as to whether the issue shall be
RENTED to or left with private enter
prise, subject only to such supervision
by the government as shall insure the
greatest attainable degree OF solvency to
the notes, or whether it shall be taken
on by the government to the exclusion
of all others.
But within these lines there is no
party question. The Republicans by
their record are committed to either
method, having adopted both III the
greenback and the national bank system,
and the Democrats are additionally, as
well as by their doctrine Of individual
ism. committed to private issues. Prob
ably were a consensus OF opinion taken
of the members OF both these parties
there would be found prevailing iudg-
ment in favor of the indiydualistlc the
DRY. The experience of our last two
years, when changes in the tariff and
its effects and the financial depression
had converted the surplus into a deficit,
has brought many men who looked with
favor on the naturalization of paper
money to see the danger Of it to the
business interests, and TO favor the COM
plete enforcement OF the treasury from
currency issues.
We therefore are glad to see some of
OR Republican contemporaries taking
the position the GLOBE took from the
ant and decrying the injection of party
spirit in the treatment OF the pending
measure OF the question. We sympa-
thise with their protest against this
carping spirit, that leads so many to
lose sight Of the present situation in
looking al the sources Of it, and against
the effort of partlsans on one side to
load the responsibility on the other
party, and of the latter to avoid the

so dense that when he got to the second

darken the household. Hughes took to
drink, she claims, and squaBdered his
money. Things went from bad to worse
until year later, when they separated,

The husband, she says, went to Bed

Mrs. Hughes says that her husband
wrote her many times about securing a
