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.

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.

this week to make five speeches, will

week ending Oetolier Pith, says: South
ern lumber interests are receiving need
ed attention. 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.

New York, October 17.—An appeal
has been issued at the democratic state
headquarters in the Park avenue hotel
by Senator Charles J. 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."

to burn out the track hut he was joined
on the back stretch by Impetuous.

winner, though it was /.•-rv dose. The
time was 2:1 .'* equaling the record
