SINGLE-HANDED TRAIN ROBBER.
Covers Two Express Messengers and
Gets Away With ZOO.

CHARLESTON. S. c., Dec. IAN un-
known white man, closely masked, held
up the two messengers in Southern ex-
press car tonight, and under cover of a
revolver compelled them to give up s1,7o0
in cash. Eight thousand dollars In an
other safe was overlooked by the outlaw.
The train had just left Branchville, when
Messengers Ramsey and Rhodes were COW
cred with two revolvers. One messenger
was made to stand with his hands over
his head and tine other was compelled to
hand over the money packages in the safe.
After warning the messengers not to put
a foot outside of the car until the train
had got under way again. the rohber
pulled the bell and jumped off, as the train
slowed up.
The conductor saw the robber escaping
alongside the track but thinking him a
tramp, signaled the engineer ahead When
the train got under way the messengers
came out and told their story. The car
was a combination baggage and express,
and the door had been opened to permit
the conductor to reach the baggage Sec
ton, which was in the forward end OF the

ADAMS HAD A ROUGH TRIP.

Supplied n Ship with Food.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The United
States training ship Adams reports speak,
ing the ship Glory of. the Seas, now thir-
ty-one days out from Seattle and supply
ing her with provisions. 1t was November
rs, about forty miles south of Cape Mem
docino. The Adams was nearly two weeks
coming from Seattle. The greater part of
the time she was under sail and the ap-
prentice boys got their first taste of a
southeaster in a vessel under short cam
vas.
The schooners Nettie Smedberg, TWENTY
four days from Siuslaw, and e. n Hill.
twenty-five days from Grays harbor, also
had great trouble. Both crews were on
short allowance when port was reached.
The collier Elihu Thomson was seven
days coming down from Comox, B. c. The
vessels of the overdue feet which still
remain to be heard from are the schooners
Amethyst, forty-fve days, and s. Daniel

KENTUCKY ELECTION ROW.
OFFICIAL COUNT GOES OVER UNTIL.
NEXT MONDAY.
The Only Question II whether the
Returning Board VIII Count Tay-
Tor Out or whether They Will
Leave Dirty Work TO Legislature.

FRANKFORT. KY, Dec. 1.-The post
ponemcnt Of the official canvass OF Ken
tuckys gubernatorial count until Monday
has, for the time being at least. cooled the
surcharged political atmosphere In very
perceptible manner. 1t 10 not likely now
that there VIII be any developments until
the meetiag- af the election commissioners.
Although the candidates for governor are
In town, they are keeping quiet and their
friends are following their example.
There Is deeply settled belief among
both Democrats and Republicans that the
commissioners will not turn the matter
over to the legislature, but will surely
issue a certificate to either Goebel or Tay-
Tor. IL 1t IL given to the former, II is pos
sible that the matter may end there, as
many of the conservative Republicans are
of the opinion that In view Of the strong
Democratic majority in the legislature 1t
will be practically useless for the Repub-
licans to look for anything In that quarter.
II the certificate goes TO Taylor, 1t is GER
ta!nly probable that the matter viii be
taken to the legislature, where Goebel may
finally win out The Republicans, how
ever, are by no means unit in favor or
abandoning the fight at the door of the
in their assertions that they will not aban-
don the fight until there is no possible
chance of Taylor being governor. of the
Gov. Bradley has evidently made up his
mind that somebody will receive a GER
tificate OF election, for he was busily en-
gagged all day In packing UP his private
property in the state house preparatory to
a return to private life.
''They are making my last days my hard
est days." he said, "but I guess there will
be no trouble. There are too many sensible
men on both sides to allow anything of
that kind. i really don't see how anything
can be done to keep Mr.. Taylor from the
chair He will go In all right"
It is not likely that the election COM
missoners will finish their work before
Tuesday afternoon.

TRIAL OF FRENCH AG1rAroRs.
The Usual Scenes of Disorder in the
Senate, Sitting as n Court.

PARIS, Dec 1.-The senate, as a high
court, today by a vote of 1874 to 9S granted
the public prosecutors request to withdraw
some of his unnecessary witnesses Coun-
sci for the prisoners objected on the ground
that they wish to crosS-examine them. The
reading of the courts decision evoked vio-
lent protests from the prisoners, who made
a terrible din. Counsel for the defense

After a few minutes the public session
was resumed, and M. Fallieres, president
of the court announced that he had de-
cided that there was no ground to DELHI
crate on the councils request, and ordered
that Gen. Roget be secured as the first
witness.

FIRE ANDWATER MAKE HAVOC
z. O. MILES COMPANY MEETS WITH
A SERIOUS LOSS.
EARLY Evening Fire, the Cause Of
which II Unknown, Destroys
Probably $4,000 worth Of Goods
-Insurance MAY Cover Loss.

Fire broke out in the store of z. c. Miles
road and First avenues, shortly before 8
o'clock last night. and combined with the
water thrown on the blaze by the fremen
wrought damage that will aggregate thou
sands OF dollars
Tho cause OF the fire is in dispute. A. L.
Piper. receiver Ct the Miles COMPANY,
Power Company's plant. situated directly
adjoining the Miles company's building
caused the fire either by sparks from tho
large chimney or by the boilers getting too
hot, and burning through the walls Of the
two buildings. which are wood, covered
with corrugated IRON.
says, however. that the fire did not come
from the power company's plant. He says
that II undoubtedly started In a small Of
fice room. which the Miles company has on
the landing of tho first stairway. The
stairway runs UP on the side OF the build
The ONCE was not occupied at the time
the FIRE started, and as near as could be
learned last night no one was In the build
ing at that time The small Office was the
first part of the store to burn, and from
that point the blaze spread to the second
floor and roof. The principal damage was
done by water, which ruined practically
all the stock on the second floor of tho
building. and then dripped through the floor
onto the stoves and ranges The firm had
only recently purchased three carloads Of
ranges for the winter trade, and these were
badly damaged.
Receiver Piper stated last night that it
age done until today, but gave II as his
opinion that 1t would foot up to at least
$4,000. He said that the insurance would
probably cover the loss.

Ex-Collector of Customs James c.
Saunders, II would seem, violated the law
Of the United States, when he applied TO MS
own use warehouse fees. The case involves
&,slS, divided into two cases. The hrst IL
for $SS69 and the second. N.449.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Hanford sus-
tained the demurrer OF the government to
the reply OF Saunders and his bondsmcn,
and District Attorney Gay will now pro-
coed against the men who became the ex-
collectors surety. One of the bondsmen,
william Eldridge, denies having entered
into the bond. Mr.. Gay says that he Will
either collect or attempt to send some one
to tho penitentiary for forgery.

murrer to the DEFENDANTS answer as to the
sound to retain az part of his official
compensation fees to the amount of $1,000
per annum In addition to hft salary OF

ton Of 1900 year, when the ofiicial emol-

In 1880 congress passed an act to reor-
canine and establish the customs collection

provides that the salary of the collector
shall DO 1850 a year and that the deputy
collectors at Tacoma and Seattle shall re-
ceive each 5000 year. The fourth sec
ton rapeals all acts and parts Of acts in
conflict with Its provisions.
In Sustaining the demurrer Judge Han

certainly repealed and 1t is. obvious that
the remaining part Of the section Il not
complete sentence and Ia meaningless.
Il consider also that the title of the
act OF 1890. as well as the context, shows
that congress- intended to make complete
revision OF the law relating to the organ
ixation Of the customs district Of Puget
sound. Statutes which are clearly intend-
Cd to be full and complete declaration
Of the legislative will on any particular
subject, have the effect to repeal all prior
