They Rob an Express Car of $10,000 in Cash and Other Valuables. Coi.umma, Ii.l.?Six masked ui en held up the New Orleans express on the Mo bile & Ohio Railroad at Forest Lawn, eight miles north of here at 0 o'clock in the night and robbed the express car of $ 10,000 in cash and valuibles worth a large amount. The robbeiy did no? oc cupy over twenty minutes' time. A large posse is now in pursuit of the bandits, The express makes a short stop at Forest Lawn, and ^rhen it came to a stop two men jumped upon the engine and nninfnrl rnnnl??/?ro mf 4lln . Alaxa , .V... ...? ? -'"J".** "s engineer aud fireman, "old them not to attempt to stmt the train again. While ' this was taking place four men appeared at tho side of the express car. O je placed a short ladder against the car, then chop- ( p d a hole in the door. It took but a niomont to do this, and before the astonished mc8scng. r realized what was bap- * peuing, the door burst open and four meu were in the car. Messenger Branford attempted resistance but was silence 1 d by a blow with a hatchet in the hands of the robber who had chopped a hole in r the door. The bandits lost no time in 1 ransacking tho car. Bradford was only (nrtinllj stunned by the blow he had re- h ceivcd and his ussailants revived him and t forced him to open the safe. Its con- I tents they placed in nsack, together with p what other valuables they secured. Bran a ford was then bound, gagged and cost into a corner of the car. When the bund its p had completed their task in tho express c car they jumped to the ground. The I conductor and several of the traininm v opened tiro on them.

The volley of shots f heard were apparently fired for intimi- p d .tion and then the robbers took to their heels. There was every chance for them c to escape as the place is a lonely one C with swamps and underbrush on each c side of the track for a distance of two or r three miles. * M There is uo telegraph station at Forest tl Lawn, rendering the summoning of aid a in that way an impossibility.

The exact amount of money he dc- tl cliuci to name. One of the robbers who 01 entered the express car was addressed by c< his pals as "Bob" aud wore chin whis- v kcrs. One of his hauds was bleeding L from injuiics received on entering the d car. He wore a fox colored suit and G weighed about 140 pounds. Another one of the robbers who extended his attcn- ni tions to the brakemau and made liim ti obey liis orders was about five feet eight tl inches tall, smooth face, age about 22, ii and weighed 145 pounds. Two who si waited op the engineer were about 22 or f( 25 years of age, one measuring five feet r< six inches, the other about six feet. No h other positive description could be obtiincd of tho others excopt that they wore black masks and dark suits. T UNEARTHING A TREASURE. in Jewels and Gold Hidden by Order of ic Maximilian Found in Mexico. City ok Mexico.?A few days ago some old and musty documents were p J^oynd here by which it was learned that q treasure, consisting of jewels and gold coin, amounting in value to |2,000,000,Is buried in this city. The documents state that the wealth was secreted by order of #] Emperor Maximilian. The discovery of w these documents produced a sensation Q among those who were permitted to share #] the secret, and preparations were at once a made for unearthing the treasure. Tho n work of excavation was begun, and in a short time a clay vessel filled with cold < " i powder was uaearthed. Then came several , pieces of silverware. A depth of only a r few feet has been reached, the work hav- (] iog been temporarily interrupted by a great flow of water into the cavity. As ( soon as the water can be shut out or con- j trolled, the work of excavation will be returned. There seems to be no doubt about the documents being genuine and it is believed that all of the groat wealth j, will be unearthed. j( " ~~ v Georgia Mellona Moving. n Georgia melons have started North, n The first carload was shipped from Albany, Ga., to Cincinnati, and they are goipg by the traldload to points all the wav from Boston to St. Paul.

C.?The President said Monday evening in reply to a direct <|ucstion by a re pre curative of the United Press that lie intended to cdl an extra session of Congress not earlier than tho 1st nor later than the loth of September, unless unexpected contingencies should necessitate un earlier meeting. The President further said: "While there has been no mystery nor secrecy in regard to my intention in this matter, 1 think it is not amiss that our people should be informed au'.lioritively that the time is at hand when their representatives in Congress will be called upon to deal with the financial condition, which is tht i only menace to the country's welfare and prosperity. It is well for the people t? take up the subject for themselves and arrive at their own conclusions as to the merits of the financial pdicy, which obliges us to purchase idle silver bu'lioc with gold taken from our reserve. One | does not need the eye of a financier to see that this gold, thus subtracted from tho government stock, is eagerly seized hy other nations for the purpose of strength citing their own cred't at .?ur expense. "It docs not need the art of statesmanship lo detect the danger that await? upon the continuance of this operation Already the timidity of capital is pain fully apparent and none of us can fail to see that the fear and apprehension in monetary circles will ultimately bring suffering to every hutublo home in oui I land. "I think that between now and the wording of Congies3 much depends upon the action of those engaged in financial operations and business enterprises. Our vast national resources and credit arc abundantly sufficient to justify them in tliu utmost faith and confidence. If, instead of being frightened, they arc con scrvative, anil if, instead of gloomily anticipating immediate disaster, they contiibutc their share of hope and steadiness, tliev will nerform :i nut riot in ilntv mill nt the same time protect their own interest. The things just now needed are coolness and calmness in financial circles and study and reflection among our people.', ELEVATING THE NEGRO.
