W.vsiiixoTox, October 1^.—Conductor Green, of the Italtimore and Ohio rail road arrived in tVashin{(tnn yesterdu.v from Cumberland, Md. lie ili<l not learn any additional facts eoneerninjf the one arrest at Cumberland beyond those heretofore given, or of the two arrests at Cherry Run. W. Va.. Tucs- day. He, however, confirmed that news and reported that the authorities were on the track of four men in addition to the three arrested. Of these three, two. he said had been placed in jail at Martinsburg. They had boarded a freight train and had uninereifully beaten the eonduetor. One of them j had a very large niekle-plated revolver. Trains I illeil With TniiKh*. The eonduetor says the line of the railroad lias been infested with toughs for several weeks. There are eonfi- denee men on his train every trip, and nearly every train is troubled with them. They have been at the Mary land eounty fairs and noware seeking other fields, giving a great deal of trouble to the trainmen. Within a week a dozen or more of them have been on Haltitnore and Ohio trains and have Attempted to swindle passengers. This last statement is important in its possible hearing on the arrests as indi- eatiug that the two men in jail at Mnr- tinsburg may have other reasons than partieipation in the train robbery for wishing to avoid the police. At the same time the belief is expressed confi dently that the right men have been caught. Hip Itohltprs rn<|iipsM<iiml>l>- l>»Ktfc<l. Iii tile case of tin- Cumberland arrest, the express company officers here be lieve that they have a hot clue, and they throw aside a little of their re serve and say so. The report that the men captured are robbers, is believed by them. A telegram from Richmond states that Governor O’Kerndl has been ad visee i ,• the Cumberland. .Mil., authori ties that C. .1. Searcy, who was arrested in that place on suspicion of being one of the men who robbed the express ear on th»‘ Richmond, t rederiekshurg and Potomac ruilroad. 1 ridn\ night, had employed a lawyer t., institute habeas corpus proceedings. The governor has Ukgn steps to have the man held and ]J^e \ irginiu represented in the habeas corpus proceedings Money found in his possession has been identified as that in the express package. It not positively established that he is one of the robbers. ANXIOUS ABOUT GROSVENOR. I<i'|iiilillraii« of Ohio .tlarmeit \hout the ’ Kleventli t'oiigrcKkloiml District. CoM Mlirs. O.. October is.

Organizations are being- perfected with a view to promote bet ter understandings between buyers and sellers, and to aid in obtaining remu nerative prices. Cotton is coming intt market in excellent condition: coal and iron are in active and increasing demand, and now textile mills and en largements of existing ones continue to be reported. An advance in prices is only needed to make the south more prosperous than it ever lias been. Thirty-eight new industries have been established or incorporated during the week, together with nine enlargein, nts of manufactories, and fifteen important new buildings.

Faulkner, chair man of the democratic congressional campaign committee. The substance is in the following: “You can fully appreciate tin* anxiety which I feel in reference t<> the recent action in this city in the nomination in eight of the districts of two democratic candidates. “These divisions in New York are not only dangerous from tin* stand point of losing a majority ,*f members in this state, but the moral effect upon the country districts <>f New York and other sections of the union will be ex ceedingly ,1 i scou ra ging. “Nineteen of its thirty-four votes are democratic. A loss of two congress men in this state would give the vote in 1897 of the state of New York to a re publican for president should the con tingency occur in which the election for that ottice was thrown into the house of representatives. “For this reason, charged as 1 have been by the party in conducting the campaign for congressional candidates, I appeal to all elements, factions and divisions of the democratic party to unit,* and harmonize on the congres sional tickets and to do no act which will naturally tend to weaken and en danger the national supremacy of our party."
