Prom News and Courier. rSSBB Charleston, Dec. 1.?An un known white masked man robbed a Southern express company oar at Branchville, S. O., on the Southern railway tonight. The train had just left the station when Messengers Ramsey and Rhoder, were covered with two revolvers held in the hands of a stalwart robber. One messenger was made to stand with his hands over his head and the other was commanded to hand over the money packages in the safe. Seventeen hundred dollars were secured and the robber, after warning the messengers not to put a foot outside of the car until the train had got under head way again, pulled the bell cord ?nd ; i ?<r __ i ' jumpou mi ?m Kie train Biowea up. The conductor sa?e the robber as he escaped alongside the track, but thinking hiai a tramp,signaled the engineer ahead. When the train got under headway 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 bag gage section, which was in the forward section of the car. It was on account of this fact that the robber was able to enter the car. One of the safes in the car which escaped the robber's notice contained $8,000. The sheriff of Dorchester, with six men and two hound", has been hurried to the t h >k MAKUAHM ^ ?ill unin v?i llir IIIUUDlJf ?I11I Will take up the chase. A special from Branchville says that two men committed the rob hery, but the messengers, who arrived in Charleston, say that there was only one robber. Manager Ferell, of the Southern express company in this city, said this morning that he knew nothing further about the .natter except what was reported in the morning papers. Col. O. M. Sadler, of the express company, was immediately notilied of the robbery and he went down to Branchville this morning to make further investigations as to the robber*'. Two messengers were in the express car, because the Augusta and Columbia trains consolidate at HranchviUe. The News and Conner has the following statement of the rob bery.

H En 6EMI-WREKLY. WEDNESDAY, DKC1 viewed by the reporter, because they were told not. to talk, but J Su perinteudent Pinekney was seen. lie admitted that money had been taken from the messengers shortly after the train on the Southern railway, clue in Charles ton at 0:17, left Eightv-six. The exact amount, lie said, he could not. name, because the accounts of the messengers had not been checked up. Mr. Pincknev said that Messengers Rhodes and Ramsey were in charge of the car, and that later, when a thorough examination was made, the com pany would give out a statement of the facta. But there were other ppople on the train, and these the m-saaen gera had told the story in the few momenta of the excitement fol lowing the robbery. A reporter for the News and Courier talked about the matter with Mr. C W. Garria, railroad commiss ioner; Mr. John J. McNamee, of CharleHton, and Mr. Charles J. Rauch, of NAw York, all of whom were aboard of the train, although none of them knew anything about the robbery until it had been auccesfully carried out. Captain Black waa the conductor in charge of the traiu, but he could not be located last night. After hearing the atones of the three gentlemen named, each of whom had heard rocit.als of difforanf napfc F t-ka ~ VI vt! V put lO \#l IUO ?l> MJt? ft?* porter gained the following knowledge of the robbery : The train had stopped at Fifty eight, which is the s trae number of number of miles from Char le8ton as indicated in the name. When about a half mile out of Fifty-eight the train came to another halt. Captain Black and a train hand jumped off to see what v?as the matter and saw a man in the marsh making away from the track. They supposed he was a tramp who had been stealing a ride, and had pulled the train down to Ret off as is sometimes the case. Captain Black signalled the train to go ahead again and as it got under headway the news of the robbery became known. One of the messengers rushed from the baggage car into the smoking car and hurriedly told Captain Black what had happened. The s'ory of the messenger, and heard by Mr. Kauch, was this : Justus soon as the train left Fifty-eight there was a knock on the door of the baggage car. It is customary for the conductor and train hands to pass through the train after leaving stations, to (look out for people beatiug their j way and also to get to the baggage car. The door leading into I the express car is always kept ! locked, and when one of the train crew wants to pass through he knocks VVheu the knock was heard the messengers thought it | was the conductor and opened it.

Ro* iUtSOWTELY Makes the food more <j j As soon as lie did a Htal wart white man, masked, stepped in and covered both messengers, holding a pistol in each hand. He commanded : '"Throw up your hands, you , or I'll blow holes in you." Although there were arms in the car tho messengers were taken completely by surprise and had nothing else to do but obey. As one of them remarked afterwards, the man talked so fiercely that he would have held up his feet, too, if he had been ordered. There were two safes in the car, on of them only being risible to the robber. One of the messengers was made to stand in the corner of the car with his hands above his head, and the other was ordered to open up the safe and deliver the money packages. All orders of the mask ed gentleman were rapidly and promptly obeyed as soon as they were issued. When he had possession of the money the robber told the messengers that he intended to stop the train and get oir, and that if either of tnem dared to Venture out of the car until the train was under head way again he would kill them. Lie was quite cool, and told the men that he would stand by the steps of the car in order to carry out his threat if they disobeyed him. The highwayman's parting ing injunction was carried out to the letter, as the forgoing illustrates. No one blames the messengers, for they took the most reasonable alternative offered by the veiled visitor, and did what nine out of every ten men would have done. When it's a question of being "bored" or giving up a little money belonging to some one else few people will invite a boring. ine messengers cheeked up I right away and found that they h ?d lost $1,700. lint there will be a deeply chagrined thief some where in South Carolina this I morning.
