General Lee expressed the belief that
if there could be a reuni on old-yas :

bright prospects for the future of the
party. He declined to discuss the sensa

that he would make no move, in the

The General is in fine spirits, but his

he has allowed his barber to deprive
him of his fine iron-gray moustache and
is clean shaven for tho first time in manv

CUMBERLAND. MD. Sept. o.
There is great excitement at Handle
ton, W. Va. town on the West Viz
ginia Central Railroad, sixty miles
north. over the mysterious murder
OF Harry Sayre. the postmaster at
that place. Sayre had been missing
since last Saturday, and his body was
found this afternoon In Black Water
River with a bullet wound In the
head. His gold watch and a con-
siderable sum of money, which he
carried, were missing. He was last
seen leaving restaurant on the
Maryland side Of the river, opposite
Hambieton. Where the body was
found is about half mile from where
he lived.
While ths officers are without
clue, suspicion points to a gang Of
desperate negroes. who have been
working in that locality, who, it is
believed. murdered Sayre for the
money, and then tried to cover up
their crime by throwing the body into
the river.

Chicago, July 5.-Half hun
dred detectives and as many depu-
ty Sherifs are chasing over Cook
and Will counties in quest of the
two train robbers who held up the
Rock Island, limited at 1 o'clock
yesterday morning near this city.
So far the fugitives have eluded
their pursuers.
"They're old hands at this busi-
ness," said William A. Pinkerton
today. Their getaway showed
that"
In their flight the robbers have
stolen seven horses, and fought
battle with a farmer who attempt
ed to capture them.
When they were stealing the
third team the robbers awoke A
dolph Chance, the owner. He pro-
cured shotgun, called up one Of his
farm hands, and the two harnessed
g horse to light buggy and gave
pursuit. The chase had lasted if
teen minutes when Chance rounded
bend in the road, came within
range of the robbers who were in a..
surrey. Chances command to halt
was unheeded. The farmer fred
both barrels at the fleeing men.
The robbers promptly answered
the shots, and the bullets whistled
about the heads Of the pursuers.
Chance abandoned the chase.
Charles Nessler, the youth who
was forced by the bandits to give
the order to the engineert TO stop the
train, was released today.
The robbers left bag near the
train containing twenty sticks of
dynamite, number of fuses and a
box of Illuminating caps. Police
Lieutenant Rohan, after examining
the dynamite, said:
"Only experienced train robbers
would be provided with explosives
into cylinders like these.
The smaller sticks are like those
used. by cracksmen to shatter
safes, while the larger ones are for
bigger work.
At the Englewood hospital it was
said there was little hope for James
e. Kain, the express messenger who
was shot by the robbers.
