Chicago, .Inlv 31.?The Baltimore and Ohio passenger train from the east, which was due to irrive in the Grand Central station, 'Jhicago, at 9 o'clock tonight, was tield up by five masked men at 8 Vclock between Edgemore and Grrnnd Calumet Heights, Indiana, 31 miles out from Chicago. One < of the mail ears which contained no money, was dynamited and wrecked, '''he attempt at robbery wsh made after the two mad cars had been detached from the train and run a quarter of a mile ahead. The failure of the robbers to make a rich haul was due to the fact that the express car, which con tained the train's treasure, was in an unusual place, ft was the thiro car in the train, \fter wrecking the mail car and obtaining no booty, the robbers disappeared in the darkness without attempting to rectify their mistake. The onlyloot that they carried away with them as a result of their adventure was the gold watch of the engii* neer.

M i field, the alleged ' manager of Senator MeLaurin's campaign, has returned from a short trip to Greenville. As to whether he has heen appointed campaign manager, Mr. .Mav field did not care to say anything of a definite nature, hut gave the evasive leplv that <4in due course of time the arrangementa and appointments of Senator Mc.Laurin will he announced." For information about Colum hia'a postmastership he suid he was not the man to come to. He j could >ee no reason why Dr. ' Ensor should not fee' confident ofbeing retained because there was no short ige in the post office accounts here, as was the cnsn in Greenville, and a Republican admini tration would Imrdlv turn out one of ilH own party who was giving satisfaction to the community, in order to make room for r Democrat "In Greenville," Mr. Mavfield continued, "the situation was i quite different. The post mas ter was reported by the inspector to be incompetent and furthermore there was a shortage i in his clerk's accounts of $1,100 Mr. May field, having just re- i turned from Greenville wnere he i was in consultation with Senator McLaurin, it was hoped would have something to ssy for public nation in regard to the senator's Mntemplated action about the i State committee's action.

' "My opinion is that the effect ' of this will be decidedly in Vic- ' Laurie's favor. The resolutions 1 can't keep him out of the primary, ' hilt they can do a lot to put him 1 through the primary. I "The only thing that will pre- ' vet t Mr. McLanrin from tunning 1 in the primary is for the conven- I lion to make the radical move of 1 changing the oath This the con vent ion will hardly do unless it 1 subserves itself to Tillman's 'boss ( ing,' s thing which I do no-, uii ticipato.
