WOMEN ARE HELD UP

Seize POclketbOoks of Two Ladies in Daylight and Make Their Es- cape --AFe Pursued By
 Dogs.

Mobile, March 1.--(SpeciaI. 1.-Two white women were held up and rob bed by two negroes in ToulminvAle in broad open daylight yesterday after noon and after the sheriff's department trailed them several hours with blood hounds, they made their escape. The dogs would undoubtedly have captured them, but while trailing fast a hard rain came up throwing the dogs off the scent. The deputies were then compelled to give up the chase.
 The two women left the city yester- day at noon to pay visit in Toulmin- vile. and on boarding the car, asked the conductor to put them off at a cer- tain point. The, conductor forgot the place named and put them off a few hundred yards away. The women did not know the exact location of the house they were to visit and noticing two negroes, asked them to show them the way. This they did and the wom- en proceeded on their way. Happening to turn, one of the women noticed the negroes were following them and pres ently they caught up. As they did, one negro stepped in front of the women and demanded their pocketbooks. The elderly of the two women showed her presence of mind by dropping her purse in her parasol. but the younger wo- man gave un her pocketbo9k. The women immediately notified the coun- tY jail and deputies were sent to the scene with bloodhounds. The dogs im- medIately took the trail and were fol- lowing it hot when a hard rain came and they lost it.
 The sheriff and police departments have a good description of the ne- groes and every one connected with the departments is on the lookout for them. If they are captured there may be violence.
 The sheriff refuses to divulRe the names of the women
