Prosperity. uoid-up roiicd.

Coneyvillc. Miss, January 2l.--Informa-
ton has been received hero today that n
daring hold up has been planned against
train No. / of the Illinois Central railroad
on its run to Memphis in Grenada by a
band Of train robbers In the eastern part
OF the county. Tho night of January 20
was fixed upon as the time for the at
tempt and place between Harrison sta
ton and aklond WAS selected where the
looiing of tho train was to be done.
The train upon wbichfhe hold up was to
have been made was tho New Orleans and
Texas limited and passes Harrison station
about II p. IN. and makes few stops be-
tween Memphis and Grenada The train
does n large passenger business from ST.
Louis to Louisville and Memphis to New
Orleans and generally has from four to
six pulmans attached.
IL seems that after nll the plans OF the
robbers had been perfected a knowledge OF
their conspiracy got out through some
means and tho railroad authorities at
Memphis were warned to be on their guard
The train made the trip safely TO Grenhda
II Is believed that the ATTENDED train rev
berry would have been carried out II the Of
ficials had not been notified. IL may be
only postponed 10 a more favorable time.

Washington. January 2l.-Considerablo
interest was manifested in the senate today
over the arrival in the city of Senator-elect
Kenney of Delaware, who, 1t was said
would, during the day. present his crcden-
tials and ask TO be sworn in as the sue
cessor to Hon. Anthony Higgins, on the
strength OF the recent election in the Della
ware legislature. This interest was height e
cnel by the fact that Mr.. Addicks was
known TO be in the city with the intention
of antagonizing MIR. Kenney's claims. II
looked for awhile during the early hours
as though there might be a sharp clash be
tween the democratic senators and their
free silver allies on one side and tn" re-
publicans on the other, but compromise
which, temporarily, at least. deferred this
crisis, was arranged before Mr.. kenney S
arrival. A conference between the repub-
licans and democrats resulted in an agrce-
ment to postpone action on Mr.. Kenney s
credentials until next Wednesday. when IT
was agreed the committee should meet
his report on the application OF Mr.. Du-
pont, who claims seat in the senate.

LYMAN GAGE A POSSIBILITY.
He Is Mentioned FOR the Treasury
Portfolio Under Mckinley.
CuLL0M SAID TO HAVE BEEN DROPPED
Major Mckinley IL Snid to Want the
senior Senator from Illinois to
Retain His Position.

Cleveland. Ohio. January 81 --Lyman J.
Gage OF Ohio is the latest addition to the
presidents elects official family. Iio will
probably be secretary of the treasury. A
gentleman in this city. as convorsant with
the situation as any one can be outside of
Major Mckinley himself. or his confidential
advisers. said Mr.. Gage was being con-
sidered for the position and that his friends
were urging his appointment. 1t was further
stated that Major Mckinley had sent an
emissary to see MIR. Gage at his home in
Chicago and ascertain whether or not the
latter would accept the portfolio II ten
dered him. The source from which the
authority for the statement comes is beyond
question. Further strength to the btate-
ment is added IL such be possible. from
the fact that Senator Culom of Illinois
who has been considered for the place, has
been dropped IL being the desire OF Major
Mckinley TO have Mr. Cullom remain in
the senate. as there is no telling What
might turn up SHOULD the Mckinley forces
in Illinois attempt TO replace him with the
present legislature so badly torn up.

Mckinley's Busy Day.

Canton, Ohio, January Ex-senator Ju.
Illus c. Burrows of Michigan. who was in
Canton less than a week ago, reached here
this morning. Accompanying him was Con
gressman elect Charles L. Pierce OF ST
Louis. Mo.
Senator Burrows was seen at the Fort
Wayne depot this afternoon. He said that
the conference between Major Mckinley
and himself was entirely satisfactory, al
though nothing definite has been reached
When asked as to his mission IN Canton
following so quickly on his visit last week
Senator Burrows said he had nothing TO
conceal in that direction.
Il am here in General Ayers interest
aud this formed part of our conversation
Michigan, that is, the republicans of Michi-
gan, are solidly for General Algcr, and the
State has but one candidate for the cab
met"
"wil General Algcr be in the cabinet,
SENATOR"
I'VE all believe SO; can not tel. as no
definite conclusion was reached. However,
! will emphasize my words--the conference
with Major Mckinley was very satisfac-
tory"
Would the reported unfrlendlness be-
tween Senator Sherman and General Alger
influence the latters going into the cab
tnet?'
Whatever differences have heretofore
existed between General Alger and General
Sherman do not exist Mt present. therefore
this would in no way affect Generel Alger.
Michigan's location would not interfere.

man for there is a vast territory west OF

"Will you visit Canton again?" was asked

mo, | believe not; at least. 1t Is NY
present intention not TO do so. However. |
may come this way again"
There were numerous ether callers from
different parts of the country who claimed
| Major Mckinleys attention during the day,
| and. altogether. this was one of the major $
| busiest daYs.
