KILLED A TRAIN ROBBER.
y California Engineer Saved Train
From Being Robbed.

Sacramento. Cal, Sept Gan attempt
was made last night to hold up the over.
land express train at Webster, six miles
west of this city. The engine was in
charge of Engineer English and Fireman
Pat Burns. AS the train approached
Webster a man crawled over the tender
and covering the engineer and fireman
with pistol, compelled them to stop the
train. A man guarded the engineer
while an accompiice. who had been in
| waiting. started back to rob the train.
Engineer English, seeing his captOr off
his guard. shot him off and ran the train
| into Sacramento. \ large force of men
are securing the country in search of the
escaped robbcr.
The train was crowded with passengers
and there was large amount of money
in the express car
The body of the train robber who was
shot was found lying near the track this
morning. In his hand was graspcd
loaded pistol. The mans name is
thought to be +. j. Morgan and he prob
ably came from San Francisco.
Engineer English, in speaking of his
adventure, said:
"The conductor and brakemen came
out on the platform of one of the cars
to see why the train had stopped. One
of the robbers shot at them twice with
tner reviewers ana with string OF
oaths, ordering them back into the train.
At the sound of the shooting the robbcr
with me on the engine stepped to the
side between the cab and the tender and
looked back. He turned his back to me.
That was my opportunity and | lost no
time in taking advantage of it, reach
ed down into my locker. got my revolver
and shot him in the back. l shot again
and he pitched forward from the engine
TO the ground and rolled down the bank.
Then | pulled the throttle wide open.

\ HARMONY RTMOR.
\ Report That Quincy and Ferguson Had
Both Agreed TO Draw Down.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 7.-CSpccalJ
1t was current tonight that leaders of
the harmony movement had made ar
engagements with Quincy and Ferguson
to draw down and let Arthur Springer
be nominated as temporary chairman.
| personally saw Quincy and Ferguson
near midnight, and they both roundly
Sworc that they were in the race to Il
finish and would pull down for nobody.
The Quincy forces have rallied considcra-
bly, since the arrival of Green, thus il
would seem that another harmony move
ment has also gone by default. Some of
the negroes were alarmed at the idea of
settling this matter without getting their
graft in, but they were pacitied when
they found that both men insisted on
staying in the race to finish.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES

Fort Worth, Tex. Sept. 7.-(Special.)-
Republican executive committee did not
meet until this afternoon and then the
Seventh Eighth and Tenth districts were
not represented and several proxies were
on hand for other districts, all of which
were recognized. The committee was in
session quite n while, hut outside of
agreeing to recommend Charley Fergu-
son for temporary chairman nothing of
particular moment came up. Bill Me
Donald. Cuncy's leader did make some
slight kick, but nothing serious. Hugh
Hancock of Austin nominated Ferguson
and there being no other nomination. it
was made by reclamation with only one
dissenting voice, although Eugene Mar
shall and Bill Mcdonald did nor vote.
1t was expected that Cuney'S name would
be placed before the committee for the
craftsmanship. but it was not. Quite Il
deal of harmony talk was heard and
laughed mt.
The committee adjourned after m
structing Chairman Grant and Secretary
Eastman to make out n temporary roll
for the convention, which may possibly
cause Quincy to gnash his teeth.
