Southern Railway Train is Held Up Near BranchvilLe. BRANCHVIL.LE, S. C., Dec. 2.-An un known white mask,:. man robbed a Southern Express company car near this place on the Southern railway last night. The train had just left the station when Messengers Ramsey and Rhodes were covered with L-No re zolvers held in the hands of the robber. One messen ger was made to stand with his hands over his head and the other was com manded to hand over the money pack ages in the sate. kbout $1,700 was se cured and the robber, after warning the messengers not to put a foot outs, le of the car until the train had got under headway again, pulled the bell cord and jumped off as the train slowed up. The conductor saw the robber escap ing alongside of the track, but thinking him a tramp signaled the engineer ahead. When the train got under uead way the messengers came out and told their story. The car was a combination baggage and express car, and the door had been opened to permit the conductor to reach the baggage section, which was in the forward end of the car. It was on ac count of this fact that the robber was able to enter the car. One of the safes in the car, which es caped the robber's notice, contained $8,000. The sheriff of Dorchester. with six men and two hounds, have been hurried to the scene of the robbery and will take up the chase. JEWISH SYNAGOGUE AFIRE. blickva Israel Temp!le at Savannah Badly Damaged-. SAVANNAH, Dec. 2.-Fire broke out last night at 7 o'clock in the basement of Mickva I - -el temple, the Jewish synagogue, just after the conclusion of the day's services. Smoke had been noticed before the services were over, but for some reason little attention was paid to it. Rev. I. P. Mendez, the rabbi, had just finished a sermon on "The Modern Jew," and the congregation had barely got outside the temple when increased volumes of smoke were seen issuing from the cellar and an alarm was turned in. The fire had started from the furnace and had made good headway, though smothered. It was soon put out, though considerable damage was done, by wa ter and smoke, to the church, which had just been elaborately repaired. The synagogue can be put in shape for next week's services.

POPULISTS SOON TO MEET. State Chairman cr-.w.- Issues a Call to His Co:nmittee. BIRMINGHAx, Ala, Nov. 30.-State Chairman G. B. Crowe of the Populist party has issued a call for a meeting of the state executive committee of that party at the Opera House hotel in Bir mingham Dec. 14. Discussing the prob. able action to be taken at the meeting, Dr. Crowe said: "The future course of the Populists in Alabama will be discussed and defi nite action taken in shaping it. It is not at all improbable that a senatorial candidate will be out in the field by our pary, but who he will be cannot be stated at this time, except that he will be a Populist. The Populists will main tain their organization. There may be a few willing and ready to go back to the Democratic ranks, as was done by Kolb, Bowman and a few others, but the rank and file will remain true and steadfast and the Democratic party will be given a fight. A full state ticket will be put in the field by the PopulistS. Other matters will be taken up, includ ing the reorganization of the party, which will be considered by the com mittee and effected along stronger lines than ever before." Dr. Crowe is very much pleased at the refusal of the recent conference of Pop ulist leaders held in this city, which, by the way, he did not attend, to adopt a resolution proposing the abandonment of the Populist organization and the re turn of all Populists to the Democratic party.

BALTIMORE, Dec. .-A few days ago The Manufacturers- ReeGrd asked about 5L of the leadinlg business men of the south for thear views upon the resolu tions recently passed b-y the Southern Cotton Spinners' association, which have attracted such general attention, and upon kindred tcpics. They were asked to give their opimons upon the following questions: 1. The importance of the construction of an isthmian canal. 2. The need for the development of the American merchant marine through government aid to afford adequate fa cilities for our incr-asiug commerce with the word. 3. The demand for a steady expan sion of our navy and the control of the Philippines by the United States as a strategic point in the cast in connection with the development of our trade with Oriental countries. It was suggested that these questions, vitally affecting the business interests of the country, and especially those of the south, could be discussed from the purely business standpoint as bearing upon the :rowrth and expansion of the south's commerce and industry. This week's issue of The Record de votes six pages to the publication of the letters received. With only two excep tions, every writer takes a decided stand in favor of every one of these proposi tions, and these two strongly urge the importance of the canal, but question the wisdom of government aid to the merchant marine. On the other hand, with these two ex ceptions, 40 others, who are among the foremost leaders in southern upbuild ing, strongly urge the importance of subsidies in aid of our merchant ma rine, the expansion of our navy com mensurate with the position of our country in the world's affairs, the con trol of the Philippine island, and the maintenance of the "open door" in China.

CHARLESTON, Dec. .-Something of a sensation was caused at the Southern railway station in this city last evening by the efforts of Alex L Easterby of Charleston to prevent his wife from leaving the city with Dr. J.

Dr. Johnson has befriended the lady to the extent of en gaging her as his housekeeper and gov ernsss for his children. Easterby objected to his wife accepting the place, which, however, is agreeable to her relatives and friends. The police refused to arrest Mrs. Easterby, when called on by her husband to do so, un less he had a warrant. She went away on the train. Easterby, it is understood, has en gaged an attorney to proceed against Dr. Johnson for carrying away his wife against his consent. NEW LINE TO COAL FIELDS.
