 The Express says: "The westbound passenger train on the Southern. due to arrive here at S:10 D. m. last Monday, did not get here until a. m. Tuesday. The cause was burnt bridge between Marion and Selma, which necessitated the train from Birmingham going back from Selma to Woodstock and around by Akron down to Marion Junction, and, though a sched- ule of fiftythree miles an hour was made, | it required until 5 o'clock to do it. In | connection with this we are reminded | that there was most absurd report go- | ing the rounds about the train people ex- l pecting Bart Thrasher to hold them up, | and warning the passengers to hide all 1 their valuab bleS. besides having cart 1 load of detectives on board. There was | not word of this true. The delay was | caused as we have stated, and by nothing | mOre."

The special agent of the road soon arrived and began an investigation, and had arrested a colored man who was working a the depot a the time the mon ey was lost on entirely cTcumstantial ev- idenee. MT. W. B. Gibson, the ex-sheriff of Lee county, who is now a regular de- tectiVe, was employed to look into the case. After working on 1t a man was soon spotted and arrested, who is Rich Battle, a public drayman of the town. His house was searched and part of the money was recovered, and in the search of the house many articles, including clothing, er1ckety, pistols and a watch, belonging to other parties, were found, with their names on them, and are now held by the sheriff subject to claim by the owners. Rich now is behind the bars, with three warrants against him.
 The citizens of Auburn are under many obig ations to the shrewdness of MT. Gib- son in breaking into what they all believe to be notorious gang. The sheriff has also under arrest two brothers of Rich Battle, who are charged with larceny Their trials come off tomorrow before Judge Robinson.
