"compelled the messenger t) give up the
contents of the safe. It is not known at
this time the extent of the loea. 9avi
secured thrvaluables the robbers jum
off and took to the woods. Engineer Bob
Sizer says he was pulling out and just as
his train got under way he turned around
and saw a man standing near him. Be
fore he could ask a question or look twice
two big revolvers were in his face. He
was then told to run his train up to Bs»
cambia river bridge, some miles distant,
andstop »n the bridge. There was noth
iogteft for him to do but to obey, he did
so. Tha engineer was told to get off his
engine. Then the robber directed Sizer
to go to the express car and force an en-
trance, the robber having a mallet in his
hand. Sizer did so and burst open
the car door. Express Messenger
Arche Johnson was standing in his car
with a pistol in his hand, but seeing
Sizer he lowered it. The next minute he
was covered and told to lay down his gun
and he obeyed. Then the robber stand-
ing in the car door compelled the mes-
senger to open the safe and hand him all
the money. While this operation was
going on the fellow was standing in the
aoor cooly looking at his victim and fir-
ing first to one side of the train and then
the other to overawe the passengers and
train crew, and when he got the money
the robber told Sizer to follow him. The

Slay (pull out and with a parting shot
an#$ wild yell, dashed off in the bushes,

Flomatom and anrther has left Mobile in
pursuit of the robber.
Investigating the Strike.
New York, Sept. 1.—The state board
of arbitration began an investigation
here today as to the dispute existing be-
tween the New York Central Railroad
and the Knights of Labor Third Vice
President Webb of the New York Cen-
tral was the first witness and said the
company had no controversy with its
employes. On Auguit 8th a large num-
ber of employes left and their alaceB had
been filled, and the alleged cause was
that seventy-eight members out of
20.000 had been discharged.
They were discharged for good cause,
but only seven Of these men applied to
the Company for information as to why
they were discharged. Subsequently a
gentleman from another state called and
wanted to know why the men were dis-
charged. The witness declined to give
the reasons. This gentleman was Mr.
Holland. Upon being cross-examined by
General Roger Pryor, Webb said he had
discharged the men on reports from
members of the secret service of the
company. The charge itself was unsat-
isfactory service. An engineer named
Lee was discharged for unsatisfactory
service. Lee was very arrogant and in-
solent and said he would tie up every
wheel between here and Buffalo if he did
not get some of Vanderbilt's money.
Ttlit of the e«m.

enly days from Newcastle, New South
Wales, several hundred miles off the New

distress and Captain Miller of the Buck
signalled that she had been dismantled
by a hurricane. He said the crew had
been on short rations several days and
begged for supplies, Captain Noble at-
tempted to launch a small boat, but she
wae stove in by the waves. He was un-
able ^therefore, to render any assistance.
Tne:Buck is now out ninety days from

Liverpool, Sept. $»—'The brokers of
Mr. Steenstrand.the noted cotton broker,
whose failure is announced, closed all his
trans ictbns yesterday in accordance
with private arrangements which provid-
ed for his paying to them 66 cents on the
dollar. The speculations of Mr. Steen
strand was the cause of his heavy failure
yesterday morning. Cotton brokers
dealing with him have teen particularly
careful to have everything hedged so the
crash did very little harm in the cotton
market. A year ago Mr. Steenstrand
possessed 1200,000, half of the amount
was obtained from the new SaltUnion for
his interest of the Cheshire Salt Works.
He notches nothing but the furniture of
his house. His losses during July and
August are estimated at 1200,000.
Arkansas Election.
Sr. Loots. Sept. 2.—The Little Rock,
Arkansas, correspondent of the Post-Dis-
patch telegraphs that the counting
of votes in the third district was not yet
completed and there are fears of trouble.
The vote from Eastman township brought
in last night was closely guarded by arm-
ed men. The Capital City Gauds (color-
ed) were disbanded this morning and Ad-
tutant General England took charge of
their arms. This was done because it
was rumored that the arms might be used
to make trouble. Retnrns from the elec-
tion are coming in slowly. A large vote
was polled and several days must elapse
before full returns can be obtained.

Hypnotism
St. Louis, Sept. 2.—Two physicians
filed complaint in the probate court today
for an inquiry as to the sanity of Mrs.
Maria B. Woodworth, the noted evange-
list. She has been holding meetings here
for several months and certain members
of her audience have become possessed
of what she terms "the power.'* Others
think the peculiar mental and bodily
state is due to hypnotism, excited by
Mrs. Woodwortn, and that its effect is
most pernicious, tad the basis for inquiry
lies in the fact that Mrs. Woodworth has
stated that while in this states she has
conversed with the deity and descended
into hell. Five days is given her in
which to prepare for trial.

What Ignorance ?
Last evening the Tribune bristled up
and said in "dead'' earnest:
The people of El Paso are not putting
up money to find artesian water in "Paso
del Norte," otherwise, Juarez. Professor
Hill was engaged to examine the sur-
roundings of El Paso and report on the
Bame. This water matter is a distinctive
El Paso affair, and if the Tikes desires
to throw any Mexican into it let it put up
its ducats. That's business.
Henceforrth Professor Hill will call
daily at the Tribune office to receive his
orders.
The Tribune will please instruct Pro*
feasor Hill how to study the geology of
this section. He has^his own way of
studying but perhaps that will not do on
the frontier.
A pertinent question for the Tribune
to answer is: How much is Professor
Hill getting for his work? He is here as
a member of the state geological survey
and has been ordered to make* examina-
tions hereabouts and report, by Hon. L.
L. Foster, the head of that department.
El Paso pays him nothing but extends
every courtesy in her power to make
Professor Hill's work easy and agreeable.
