Chattanooga, Tenn., March 28.— Southbound passenger train No. it, on the Cincinnati Southern railroad, was held up at tthiti o'eloek yesterday morn ing at South End tunnel, No. 0. The train was ascending a steep grade be tween (ireenwood and Alpine, Ky., in tiie midst of the wildest mountain sec tion of Kentucky. When a white lan tern in the darkness ahead brought it to a stop, a him ii with a cocked revolver in a hand climbed into the cab and covered Engineer Tom Springfield and Fireman Daisy Rankin, who were or dered to stand still. Three other rob* hers, wearing broad brimmed slouch hats and dressed tike mountaineers, all desperate looking men, boarded the baggage car which they mistook for the express. Three road detectives were sitting in the smoker and when the train stopped Detective YY’ill Algood stepped out on tho platform, a fourth man on the ground ordered him to throw up his hands, tint he replied with a pixtol ball, which brought the robber to the ground. The bandits on the baggage ear stampeded at hearing the shooting and jumped down. A sharp battle of small arms ensued in which the other detectives, lY’illinin Eddy and Thomas Grilliii, took a hand. At the finish two robbers were found lying dead and a third mortally wound ed. At the CiimhA'lnnd Falls the otli- cer.s telegraphed the news out and alighting set out on the trail of the two fugitives. It is thought the wounded mini was a tramp and shot by one of the robbers who mistook him for a trainman. The road otlieials were aware of the plot to hold up the train and the presence of the ollioers was not accidental, although such is denied. SMALLPOX IN PITTSBURG.

PREFERENCES NOT ALLOWED. Act Pasfted by the I.ato North Carolina Legislature That Just Comes to Light. Ralkioh, N. C., March 28.—An act of the Legislature has been discovered in the secretary of state's office, without doubt a “sneaked-in-bill,” which is far-reaching and damaging since no ( debts can be preferred, by mortgage or otherwise. It also prevents the bor rowing of money on mortgage, on real estate or chattels, or on crops by a per son who is iu debt to parties other than the lender. It reads as follows: An act to regulate assignments: The general assembly of North Carolina do enact: Section t. That all conditional sales, assignments, mortgages or deeds in trust which are executed to secure any debt, obli- gallon, note or bond which give preference to nny creditor of the maker, shall tie absolutely void—as to existing creditors. Sc. 2. That all laws in conflict with this net are hereby re pealed. See. S. That this net shall be in force from amhafter its ratification. Untitled :ird ! day of March. 1805. There is likely to be much trouble growing out of transactions contrary to the above made since tiie ;!rd day of Mareli, for this act was not known un til yesterday. TRUGT OFFICIALS’ TRIAL.
