man how ships like the St. Paul and

reckoning as it appears was the case The
officials of the Cunard line deny that the
latter was on the sands, but the life saving
officials assert positively that she was stuck
for half AN hour However that may be, it
is admitted she was within sight of the ST.
Paul. That not being disputed she, too, was
far out Of her reckoning, How it could
occur puzzles those not familiar with marine
matters, aud the fact that both vessels were

EXPRESS ROBBERS CAUGHT.
One of Them the Trusted Agent who Was
"Held Up"


DENVER, Jan 80 -Pinkerton detectives
have arrested Express Agent Krout, of
Colorado Springs, on the charge Of being
implicated in the theft of Sj50J) from the
Wells Fargo company about six months
ago. His father, who recently came to
Colorado Springs, was also arrested on n
train at Watsonburg as he was leaving the
state and about $1,000 was found sewed
up in his clothing.
The robbery occurred on the night Of
Nov. II at the Santa Fe depot in Colorado
Springs, just after the night train pulled
out south. George Krout, the agent, said
that two men had overpowered him in his
office and taken two packages consigned
from Denver banks, which contained 500
900, overlooking another package contain
ing $4,000
As Mr.. Krout had been in the employ of
the Wells.Fargo Express company for n
number of years, suspicion did not at first
point TO him. He told a very plausible
story, and it was believed, in spite of the
fact that the robbery was reported by him
TO have taken place when the station plat
form was full Of people He said the rob
bers hid in the office while be was looking
after the express matter that came OH the
train, and two masked men faced him
when he entered, They closed the door and
locked it, made him deliver the money,
and at the muzzle Of pistol ordered him
TO get into bed and cover up his head.
There was a cot in the Office and the agent
said he did as the robbers bid him. but ho
gave the alarm as soon as they were of
Krout's father, farmer, came to Col
orado Springs from Cerro Gordo, Ills, on
Jan. 2l His actions excited suspicion,
and he has been constantly shadowed. On
Monday he was arrested at Watsonburg,
and yesterday ne was taken back to the
springs He protested that his name was
Sam Jones, and that he knew nothing
about the eXpre.s robberY.

 Hartselle, June T.-(Special Corre- spondence.)- e.)-Politics is growing warm in Morgan county. Democracy is on Its mettle and through Chairman Brown the following challenge was sent the chair man of the populite committees:
 Hartselle, June 25, 1896. To the Honorable c. H. Cooper, Chairman ef the Populte Executive Committee or MOT gan County, Alabama:
 Believing that the people of our county should have a fair, full and free pre- sentatjon of. the issues involved in the present campaign, and belle ing that such presentation can best be made Dy a joint discussion before the people by speakers representing our respective par ties, I, as chairman of the campaign com mittee of the democratic party of Nor gan county, Alabama, tender to the nom inees for the legislature of the populite party challenge to discuss the issues of the day before the people. l under stand that the candidates Of the popu- lite party have made their announce ments for public speaking for various times and places in the county l Will say to you that the nominees for the leg islature of the democratic party are will ing to accept the time and places ap- pointed by your party upon an equal dl- vision of time, in order that we may nave d JOlul ulScus sioH
 Thanking you in advance for an early reply, l remain yours very truly,
 A. L. BROWN, Chairman Democratic Campaign Com mtttee.
 The chairman of the populte commit tee. c. H. Cooper replies as follows:
 Hartselle, June 26 1896. Hon. A. l.. Brown, Chairman Democrats Campaign Committee of Morgan County' Replying to yours of the 25th instant, in which you propose joint discussion of the issues of the present campaign between the candidates for the legisla- ture of our respective parties, will say as chairman of the executive committee or the peoples party of Morgan county, Alabama, I must respectfully decline your proposition.
 In doing this offer as my reason the fact that on May 29 1896, the Hon. A. T. Goodwin, the peoples party candidate for governor of Alabama, presented to the Hon. Joseph F. Johnston, democratic candidate for governor of Alabama, a fair and courteous proposition to join with him in a full discussion of the is- sues before the people. Captain John ston reflected Captain Goodwyn's propo- sition, and supposed that would be the settled policy of your party during the campaign.
 Thanking you for your very courteous proposition, am yours truly,
 c. H. COOPER, Chairman Peoples Party Executive Committee of Morgan County.
 The populites are on the run in our county and they know they have no chance to win in the August election.
