CLOSE UPON THEM.
Scouts in Hot Pursuit Of Union
Pacific Train Robbers.
Checks and Drafts Found I'm a Corn
field Near Uintah.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 19.--It Is believed
tfrHt the scouts who are looking for the
robbers who held up the Union Pacific
fast mail train near Ogden Wednesday,
are close upo1 their tail. Chief Canada OF
tie special sergice burea has received a
telegram from one OF the searching party,
saying that ne had good reason to believe
something good would develop within a
very short time. Another telegram was
also received, saying that some of the
checks and drafts have been found in a
place where tho registered mail pouch
had evidently been opened. The robbers
must have opened the pouches soon after
leaving the train for the drafts and other
letters OF no value to them were found in
a corpfied not far from Uintah. Some of
the railroad officials are inclined to be-
lieve that tie robbers after opening the
nail pouches worked their way back to
Ogden and are now hiding there or In
salt Lake City.

town treasurer Frank L. A &c II Of North
Providence must pay constable George
p. Willis the amount OF the verdict that a

In NEW QUARTERS.
The TheOsophical Society Dedlcates
It's New Hall.
An Interesting Address on "The
Duality of Man."

Last evening the Providence Theo-
sophical Society dedicated its new hall at
206 weybosset street in an appropriate
manner. Flowers were tastefully
arranged about the platform, presenting
a pleasing effect. The attendance was
large, the seating capacity being nearly
taxed to it's utmost.
In opening the meeting the president
referred TO the great interest now being
taken in theosophy by the public at
large, and gave brief history of the
society in this city from its inception in
1891, to the present time. The soci sty,
he said, had outgrown it's old quarters,
and now not only the requirements of
the society, but the critical state of
humanity in general demanded a more
active crusade to bring its philosophy be-
fore the world.
Mrs. w. Harmon of Boston, was intro
duced, who read an interesting paper ex-
plsining the three objects OF the society,
and especially making clear to her hear
ers the fact that universal brotherhood
is fact in nature, that all humanity is
one in essence and that the idea of SO par
aieness is the curse of the race.
Tho address of the evening was given by
Mr.. A. B. Griggs, pupil of the late
Madam Balvatsky. "1he Duality Of
Man." was his subject, which he
handled in a mssterly manner. lie traced
out the fall of the Gods or Angels into
matter or generation, and pointed out
that the duality he wished u emphasize
was that OF the separation of mans
higher nature from the lower. The time
mad arrived when humanity has descended
so low in matter or materiality that only
toward the Higher Self or God can it be
saved.
The lecture was listened to with close
attention throughout.

Hon. Malcolm Yeaman was Judge
Grace's strongest competitor for the
nomination two years ago, and he
made an admirable impression upon
the convention that nominated Judge
Grace. Mr.. Yeaman is in the prime
of life and mental vigor; and has long
been regarded as one of the very
ablest lawyers in Kentucky.
He is not only a gentleman of fine
legal ability, but also of the highest
scholastic attainments; and his social
qualities are delightful.
If he should be elected to succeed
Judge Grace, he will honor the place,
and add strength of lore and literary
requirement to Kentucky's Court of
Last Resort. He is Democrat whose
party fealty has never been question
ed and whose creed has known no
changing.
We commend Mr.. Yeaman to the
Democrats of the district as in every
way worthy of their support. Eddy

Hon. Malcolm Yeaman, of BENDER
son county, is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for Appellate
Judge of the First Kentucky District.
Mr.. Yeaman is lawyer of eminent
ability, irreproachable moral charac-
ter and strong in mental and physical
vigor. lie has been a student all of
his life and his learning is manifested
in his pleadings, in his speeches and
in his daily conversation alike. He is
not only an able and learned lawyer
but true gentleman in the strictest
sense. One might associate with him
for years and not single ungentle-
mani y act Of his would mar the asso-
citation.
He is not fin de steele politician.
And The Sun knows of no recommen-
dalton more favorable to his candi-
dacy that can be offered than this, He
has never become contaminated in
every day struggles for spoils; it has
not been the height of his ambition to
have at his disposal the distribution
OF the Offices in his district. In a nut
shell his political record is clean, un-
besmirched by demagogic appeals to
the prejudices of classes or sections or
any of the other strategic and insin-
cere methods of the latter day office
seeker.--Morganfeld Sun.

THE APPELLATE JUDGEsHIP.

The State convention being ovel
the attention of our people will soor
be called to another very important
matter, the election of an Appellate
Judge to fill the vacancy resulting
from Judge Grace's death. No office
in the gift of the people of the State
is of greater Importance, and no
higher duty rests upon the citizen
than that of filling it with lawyer of
ability, integrity and industry. Al
ready the court is so behind that JUS
tice is almost denied to the citizen
who is so unfortunate as to have his
rights involved in legal controversy.
Henderson county presents to the
district an aspirant for the Demo-
cratic nomination to that high office.
Mr.. Yeaman is Democrat who has
never faltered in his support of the
nominees of his party, on the contra
ry he has always been outspoken and
active in their support.
Excepting his candidacy two years
ago for this position, he has never
been a candidate for Office. His life
has been devoted to the pursuit OF
his profession and the discharge of
the duties of a private citizen with
such success that he is known
throughout the State as among the
ablest of her lawyers, and as among
her most influential citizens. He is
in full maturity of his intellectual
and physical manhood, with an in.
lustry rarely equaled and a mental
that enables him to make
every effort effective in the accom-
plishment of his purpose, His intel
lect is clear and forcible. In his
grasp Of legal questions and the ex-
of them in his decisions he
would 10 as much and as good work
as has been done by any member of
the court. To the Democracy of the
district we commend him as the equal
Of any man in the State for this ex-
llted position, which the Democracy
s called upon to fill at the November
election Cleaner.

Judge Malcolm Yeaman, of our
neighboring county of Henderson,
should and we believe will receive
the vote of Christian county in the
appellate district convention July 81.
In point of ability and merit he is the
equal if not the superior of any man
in the race, and our people should see
that his claims are not put aside for
those of less deserving candidates.
