BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), Dec. 31.-At Liv-
lngston, Ala, two masked robbers
boarded the southbound express No. on
the Alabama, Great Southern. which left
here at 3:55 P. NJ, and robbed the express
car of its valuables. The scene of the
robbery is about twenty miles south of
here, and details are scarce. It seems
that the robbers, in the guise of passen-
gers, after boarding the train, waited un-
til it was again in motion, and then going
out on the platform they put on their
masks and entered the express car, and
at the point of pistols compelled the mes
senger to give up the contents of his safe,
which is thought to have contained sew
eral thousand dollars. The robbery was
committed very quietly, and when it was
completed the robbers backed out Of the
car, with their pistols still on the express
messenger and baggage master, who oc-
cupled the same car, and, pulling the
bell-cord, got off when the train slowed
up and took to the woods. There is ab-
solutely no clew as yet but the actions
OF the robbers indicate that they were
green hands. The express company will
not tell how much money was taken, but
1t IS not thought to be a very large
amount, as the train was local. and did
not usually carry large amounts of
money. The railroad and express people
are hurrying officers and bloodhounds to
the scene.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 31.-The overdue

out from Nanaimo. came into port this
morning. The bark Dominion, in bal
last, and now twenty-six days out from
San Francisco for Puget Sound. is the
only one of the overdue sailing vessels
remaining to be heard from.
The story of the Brown is so similar to
that of other vessels that have arrived
from the north after an experience with
the big blow OF December 9th, that it is
not necessary to elaborate upon it. Ac-
cording to Captain Magune, on Deem
ber 9th, off the Columbia River, the ves-
sci experienced a hurricane that blew
away several of her sails and did other
damage. The boats were all stove in or
lost, and the rudder disabled so that a
jury rudder had to be rugged. The
cabin was flooded, and during the
gale all hands were compelled to
remain on duty. The Brown steered by
means Of a trailing spar when she was
towed to an anchorage and was leaking
badly. She will have to go on the dry

cess. On January 18th a long freight
train will pull out of Atlanta laden with
the silver and golden grain, a New Years
present from the overfowing bins of
Georgia to the empty cribs of the suffer-
ing NeDraskans,
Governor Northen has kept the wires
warm with kilograms to the Mayors of
all cities and towns, asking them to give
aid of their superabundance to the
stricken of Nebraska. He has also sent
dispatches to the railroad officials of the
leading roads of Georgia, asking them to
enter the good work by granting free
transportation to such corn as is shipped
over their roads for the sufferers.
In response to these requests he has re-
ceived assurances from President Hoff-
man OF the Seaboard Air Line, from the
Atlanta and West Point Railway, and
from the Western and Atlantic offering
their freight facilities free, and such other
assistance as may be in their power.
Mayor Brown of Carrollton answers
the appeal as follows: Your telegram
received this morning, and the appeal
went straight to my heart. While money
Is scarce, we will do as you ask, for God
has bountifully blessed our county, l
will appoint committees in each district

About twenty girls were sleeping in
the attic, which is on the Steuben-street
side of the house, and the only exit was a
narrow stairway leading to the third
floor.
The most reliable information that
could be obtained was given by an en-
ploye of the house named Kate Mona
han, who knew all the girls well, and
who had been unable to find twelve of
them whom she is positive are dead. Be-
sides these she asserts that four men are
in the ruins. Miss Monahan says she
escaped through the basement and that
At that time the girls were lost in the
attic. When she reached the last stair
way the SIX lower steps were burned and
she had 10 jump the remaining distance.
If the girls were in the attic then it seems
impossible for them to have escaped.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3l.--Whether or not
Harry w. Tilden of Greensboro, n. c..
has met with foul play is suggested by
the arrest of Max Mechola, who is sus-
pected of being steamboat crook.
Mechola was arrested last Wednesday.
and in the Essex Market Police Court
this afternoon he was remanded until
Wednesday, in order to afford the police
an opportunity to obtain evidence against
him.
When Mechola was arrested seven
trunks and yalises. containing property
of the aggregate value of $500, were found
in his apartments, in addition to some
mining stocks of the face value of 1000.
1t is supposed that these bonds are owned
by harry w. Iilden. In court to-day
the policeman who arrested Mechola said
he had received letter from C. w. V,
Tilden, of 4ll ASHORE street, Greensboro,
\. c., saying that his brother, Harry W.,
had left for Europe eight months ago and
had not since been heard from. The
writer goes on to say that if the bonds
found in Nicholas possession belonged
to Harry w. Tilden the latter had prob
ably met with foul play. Phon Tilden. a
reporter on the Baltimore NeaCS, also
writes that he is brother OF Harry w.
