LOOKED FOR IN THE INVESTIGATION OF A
 BILL PASSED BY THE LEGISLATURE. : INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 2.-The real purpose of the suit begun by Attorney General Ketchum, in which the fee and salary bill passed by the last legislature is involved, has become known, and political sensa- ton, in which some of the most prominent t men in the state will figure, is promised. When the bill in question reached the sec- relary of state's office two years ago, to be prepared for the printers' hands, section 93 had been tampered with, thus causing the defeat of the blil, thereby allowing county offices to be operated under the old fee sys- tein.
 Who altered the bill, or whether it was done carelessly IT with malicious design, is not charged in the suit just begun, but ihe attorney general stated touiay that he be- ht ved it to be the result of corruption, aud that II the courts cannot trace the alleged conspiracy legislative Investigation may be demanded.

RESOLVE TO STAND READY 10 MEET THOSE
 WHO BREAK DOWN RATES.
 PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 2.-The Railroad Coal Operators association of the Pittsburg district held meeting today and passed the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that we hold ourselves in readi- ness at any time to meet those responsible for breaking down the scale of prices agreed upon at the Columbus convention for the purpose of readjusting the price to such basis as to bring about one price for mining throughout the district, and until such a result is attained the lowest price paid at competing mines must of necessity be the price paid by all the mines of the district. eia5
 At the meeting it was shown that the 69-cent rate had been shattered throughout the district, more than seventeen mines paying 67 cents ton, over a dozen paying 60 cents and not few paying 55 cents. It is altog ether probable that on Monday next a majority of the operators will post notices of a reduction to 55 cents or lower.

SPRINGVILLE'S MUNICIPAL ELEC-
 TION

SPRINGvILLE, Jan. 2.-lSpecial Corre- spondence. 1.-The municipal election here passed of quietly. Hon. M. 8. Forman, populite, oefeated Hon. D. A. Aderholt, democrat, for mayor by a small majority. The election of Forman over Aderholt has no political significance. The town is overwhelmingly democratic. Politics were not injected into the race. In justice to Forman it can be truthfuIIy said that he is a man that carries the respect and mas the conf fence of all who know him, irrespec- tive of party; furthermore, he is very Iib- ersl in his views, and is one of the most sympathetic, charitable men in the county. While the writer differs with him politi- cally, yet he knows him to be a man of vel y high moral character and a Christian gentle man. MT. Aderhot is also a Christian gen tleman, and commands the respect of all who know him.
 All of the aldermen elected save one are democrats,

 LOUISVILLE, ky, dan. 2.-rhe sena- ioriai race promises to bo unusually inter . esting. Buckner and Brown have declared themselves in lavor of convention nom ination. Wbether this would be regardeI as binding blythe legislature is matter of speculation. s~2
 It is generally conceded that Senator Blackburn has. got to make fight. Rep- resentatiye Breck inridge is working aga ainst him, and what makes it more unfavorable for Blackburn is that his home counties lie ir the, Ashland district, where memories of the Breckinridge fire still smolder.
 McCreary is identified less with any of the factions, and appears to be strong factor in the race.

 Robbers Heard Of IN EAST MISSISSIPPI
Disarm Two Officers and CooIIy Depart With Their Munitions
 Largely Added To.

Two men, supposed to be the ones who held up and robbed Alabama Great South ern south bound passenger train No. 8 be- tween Livingston and Yor1 on Monday night, were located yesterday morning and were confronted by officers, but succeeded in making their escape.
 The information received Is meager, but the story runs about this way:
 At small station some miles distant from Macon, Miss, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad two suspicious looking char. acter boarded north bound passenger train on that road, and their presence attracted the attention of nearly every passenger on the train. weaf..t
 The conductor became suspicious and au idea struck him that they were the ones wanted for holding up the Queen and Cres- cent. Their descriptions answered the ones given By the trainmen who were held up between York and Livingston.
 The conductor teiegraphed the city mar. fshal at Macon, Miss. that two men who were wanted for roDbing the Alabama Great Southern were on bis train and 10 be at the depot.
 The officer, acting in compliance with the telegram, secured the services of dep uty United States marshal. Together these two officers went to the depot to meet the train.
 When it pulled up at Macon the off cers went to make the arrest. The suspects got the drop on the officers and lpade their first play by taking the guns away from t--e two marshals. Alter disarming the officers the suspects made their escape, going in the direction of Artesia, Miss.
 Detectives are still on the trail of these men, but it is known that they are in the swamps of Mississippi, aud it will take good work to run them down, as they appear 10 be perfectly familiar with that part of the country.
 ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

"A special to the Advertiser from L,uderdaie, Miss, says The two men who robbed the express on an Alabama Great Southern passenger train Monday night passed through this place early last night, boarded the north- bound Mobile and Ohio passenger train at Narkeeta for Macon, Miss.

When the officers covered their men the largest man jumped on the deputy marshal, taking his pistol from him, and then ordered Officer Scott to drop his gun and release his partner, which was done.
 The suspected ineu then coolly took pos session of both officers pistols and shot gun, bade them good morning and left for the river swamp near by.
 A special train with Detective Horn Grif- fin, with dogs from Meridian, reached Macon at o'clock p. m., but at this time had failed to get on the track of the men, All information is very meager.
