Near Charleston, S. c.

and best Known agents of the Southern
Express Company. while on his run be-
tGgen Richmond and Jacksonville, on
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, Satur-
day night, VISA held up. and his car roo
bed of something over sl,2o0. The rob
berry occurred just outside Of Charleston
S. c.. and is said to have been one OF
the boldest committed In the South in
years Very meagre details Of the affair
are given out here, as no official report
of the robbery has been made to this
office However. it was stated by one
employees of the company last night that
Mr.. Lewis being in the car alone. was
oVerpowered tied and blindfolded While
his car was ransacked. The safe was not
entered 1t is said, but in other places
cash and va1uabes amounting to more
than $1,000 were found and gotten away
with. One report Is to the effect that the
robbery was committed while the train
was running, but another has 1t that the
thieves entered the car While 1t stood
in the Charleston yards. Mr. Lewis is
in Charleston, having been laid off his
run pending investigation. Mr.. Lewis
has been in the employe of the company
a number of years and has been on the
run between Richmond and Jacksonville
for two years. His home is in Ports
mouth, but the greater part of his time
is spent in this city where he is very
well known The impression among the
employees of the express company here
is that the theft was committed by
q. person familiar with the car. as he
lost little time In finding the valuables
and cash on hand.

and slate to the lights OF the rescuing
pa7ty, and have been taken out alive. al
though they are both badly burned and
acally suffocated by the gas and smoke

GAS AND POWDER.
The explosion was caused by an accu-
r;ulation of gas catching fire from the

in turn fired six kegs of powder that had
heen stored back in the mine. The eX-
plosion knocked down all hrattices for a
quarter Of mile back towards the mine
entrance, thus cutting out all air from
the men imprisoned behind the debris.
There had been small gas explosion in

tendent A. j. Stewart had personally eau
toned the men not to attempt to work
until the air had been tested by a safety
