which he had dropped, and blood was seen upon the ground aud leaves leading his pursuers to believe that he had ,been injured in jumping. " Their search was unavailing, however. On Thursday afternoon a train was made ready, and about two hundred men and boys went down to the immediate neighborhood, giving it a thorough search, but without any result.
DOWN TOR A FEW DOLLARS. Express Messenger and Baggageman Shot White the Train is Runn ing. The Work iMhil One Has,
The night express train that nms from Louisville to Chicago had goat aboat 2f miles north oi Harrodsburg, fast Wednesday night, when the bell on the locomotive was rang, and the engineer pot on hu air brakes.. The train was then
laboring up what is knows as the
Smithville grade, and it ot course
surprised the engineer to receive a signal to stop there. Soon after the renal was eiven, and before
the train hadjrtopped,tbe door of the smoking car was hastily dashed open and the baggage master, Peter Weber, staggered in, exclaiming
in excited tones that "there hi robber in the express car killing Davis and me!" There were fifteen drummers in the smoker, and they were panic stricken, none seeming inclined to move. One
of the drummers, an effeminate
looking fellow from Louisville, named Richardson, fainted, and some trouble was experienced in restoring him to canseteusneBS. The baggage master presented a . frightful appearance, the eye-wit-8tsae my, his h eadjraass cfclotted blood, and a rivulet of fresh blood trickling from his face where be bad been shot. Finally Tip Wade and Conductor Chambers
went into the baggage ear, where
they found the express messenger,
Geo. L. Davis, lying unconscious io a pool of blood, his safe open
and papers scattered about the floor.
Gradually the story of the terrible deed was told by the baggage master, which was in brief that he bad been in the smoking ear talking to Wade, and went forward from there into the baggage ear after the train left the tank ; that as be step ped into the door be saw Davis ly
ing on the floor, a man with a club
standing over him ; that the man rushed at bim and knocked bim
down; that as he recovered he saw the messenger stagger to bis feet
and reach for his revolver, which
was in a a pigeon hole ; the robber
jerked it from his band and shot
Davis, the expressman, in the bead ;
that the robber then pressed the revolver against Weber, the baggage' man's bead, commanding bim to get tbe keys from the expressman,; and open tbe sate on pun of death; this Weber did, tbe desperado covering bim with his pistol while with tbe left hand he rifled tbe safe; then shot the baggageman in tbe face; Weber jerked the bell rope, the robber stood and looked at him
a moment, then turned, passing out at tbe rear door, and jumped from
tbe train.
Tbe point at which tbe robbery
occurred is 9h miles south of
BweminetoBv, midway between
Harrodaburg station and Smithville.
The train pulled opto Bloomington, where tbe men were given
all .possible surgical attention.
There is but one living witness
(Weber) to this terrible crime be
side tbe assassin, and it is not wonderful if, in his condition, (bis head beaten with a heavy hickory club and afterwards shot) his ideas and recollection of the dreadful affair are sotnewbat confused. After tbe train had proceeded en its way, J. O. Howe, agent ot tbe American express company at this point, took a locomotive, and with a half dozen men went to the asene of tbe robbery. Tbe assassin jumped off tbe train while it was yet in tbe cut, and had walked sooth some 300 yard before leaving the track ; he dropped several money packages which were secured by Mr. Howe, tbe contents aggregating 1338. Early next morn
ing die search was renewed and the
ann wag tracked about a mile, far from the road, io a rock)
ravine, wag iound flG.OO in silver
A Chtcam Snecial.
After an examination of the wounds of the express messenger and baggageroasler by Dr. McPheeters tbey were both pronounced fetal. Peter Weber is married and lives in New Albany, to which place be was taken on the morning j express. George Davis is a single man and lives at Louisviile. The particulars were given by Weber, j Before the robbery a tall slim ' man, carrying a heavy stick, was seen in the smoking car, but alter the robbery he was missing. He no doubt was tbe robber, although it is thought that there must have
been more than one. As the raon0 5 1.1 Jl
ey pocKages round nau uiuuu vu
them, and as biooa was on ine ground at tbe place where the train
stopped, tbe robber must nave neen injured in jumping from the train.
If be perpetrated tbe deed alone ne must have been very 'daring and desperate, but the shooting of the baggagemaster after the safe had been robbed was a cowardly act. Tbe man not only meant robbery but to murder every cne who came in his wav.
After davlieht the news of the
robbery spread rapidily and the
people in the vicinitv of Harrods-
bure and Smithville turned out en
masse to scour the country. Tele
urams were sent in every direction,
and officers acted promptly on ine
slightest clew, knoui'h was ascer
tained to make sure that tbe robber
went across tbe fields to the West,
but after trackiug him about two
miles all traces of him were lost. Davia brother arrived from Lou
isville Thursday noon and found
tbe wounded man very low and be
yond recovery. His wounds bad
been properly dressed and all possi
lle attention given him by Doctors
McFheetera, Maxwell and Bryan
Davis was removed to his home
at Louisville on the 5 o'clock train
Thursday Afternoon. He has
Bullet in bis brain, and cannot pos
sibly live. Before removal he I would at intervals return to par- i tial consciousness and cry, "Oh, take me home! Take me home!" Tbe act of Peter Weber in seizing the bell rope and stopping the train after he had been shot and while th e desperado was still in the car, was a heroic one. "I thought
I was going to die, anyhow, and was determined to lo my duty, ev-
en tnoueu tne man suouiu again
shoot me. In regard to tbe shooting of Davis and Weber, it seems that the robber got bold of Davis' pistol, ond shot him (Davis) just above the left eye, the ball passing through the brain and lodging in the back of the head. The robber then turned, and with a revolver at Weber's temple cried out : "Open that safe !" "I have no keys," responded Weber. "Get them off that man then," commanded the robber, meaning
Davis. After tbe safe was gutted, Weber pleaded with the robber:
"Yon are not going to shoot me are you?" I guess not," said the robber, and with these words he fired, the ball striking Weber's cheek bone, just forward of the ear,
sed , through the neck and long
ed under the skin on the right side, about an inch from the chin.
one arm and drew his revolver, but the robber wrested it from him, shot him, and he fell to the floor. The robber then ordered Weber to onen the safe under threat of death
and compelled him to take the keys
from the messenger s pockets ana select the proper one, and after the lid was thrown back he then made a deliberate selection of all the valuable packages. He then turned azain to Weber, leveling the wea
pon, and as the baggagemaster tremblingly asked if he intended to
kill rum, he replied, with an oath,
in the affirmative, and pulled the trigger, the bullet striking under
the car and passing through into his neck. Weber reports, however,
that he had strength sufficient to
pull tbe bell rope, and as the train
slowed up he saw the robber and
murderer deliberately leave the car
and make his escape. He describes
him as a tall muscular man, aged
thirty-five, dressed in a light suit, and with a bristling light mous
tache. Pursuit was useless, and the train proceeded to Blooming-
ton, where the wounded men were
left under surgical care.
The express officials feel badly
over the butchery of Davis as he was
an efficient and reliable man. He
had been on the road something
over four years, and had always
been found careful, brave and hon
est. He had been wounded several
times during bis service. In the accident near Salem, last Christmas
a vear.wben the train went through
the bridge, Davis saved his safe and
all the valuables by dumping it out
into the river, while the tram was
burning, and got off with the break
ing of a shoulder and two ribs.

Annual National Reform Convention. Tbo annual meeting of the National Reform Association was held en tbe 21st and 2 2d ult., in Pittsburg, the Hon. Felix R. Brunot, presiding. Mr. Brunot's opening address was a defence of tbe Bible in the Common Sohools, as justified by the history and Actual character of the ntion. A touching incident of the Convention occurred in connection with tbe address of Prof. McAllister. Among other pernicious results of the tbeorv which regards
civil society as a mere arrangemnt of men, and in no sense a divine institution the speaker showed that this view strikes at the roots of patriotism. No one perils his life for a railroad corporation. Who would make such sacrifices for a banking association us the State continually asks for her citizens? The whole nation today watches in prayerful sympathy by the bedside of on who led her armies in tbe struggle for tbe life and the unity of the natian. Others make even greater sacrifices in espousing some unpopular cause, and laboring through reproach and opposition to lav broad and deep the moral
foundations of the nations permanence

A Passenger's Story:
The train was a through one,
running trom jjouisvuie to Chicago, ana was in charge of Conductor
Chambers, with reter Weber, of
New Albany, baggagemaster, and George K. Davis, of Louisville,
express messenger. Un these night trains tbe messenger and baggage
master occupy the same apartment. Shortly after 11 o'clock a stop was
e at tbe liarrodsburg water
tank, and while the engine was
taking water, J. H. Ha milton, of
tjrreeneastie, saw a man carrying
a Heavy stick in his hand, apparently climb out from under the trucks and make his way forward. That was the last seen of hi in. Near Smithville there was a sharp pull at the rope for the engineer to stop, 1 1 - . . .. . -.-t .
anu immeamieiy auerwaras weberl staggared into the smoking car and gasped that himself and messenger
bad been shot by a train robber, after which be fell unconscious on tbe floor, bleeding from a terrible wound in tbe head. The passengers rushed for the baggage car, to find Davis weltering in bis blood, bis safe open and plundered, while the floor was strewn with papers which tbe robber had cast aside as worthless. The messenger was unconscious, he having been shot in the bead. In addition he had evidently been struck with some heavy bluat weapon cn the back of hi', head, which bad torn the scalp loose from the bone. Near by lay a heavy hickory stick, which the amwaain had evidently used for a
bludgeon. After Weber recovered consciousness be stated that both he and Davis were lying upon their train-chests, asleep, when he was awakened by a heavy blow upon his bead and he saw a man struggling with Davis, whose face was covered with blood. He was too badly injured to interfere. While they were struggling Davis loosened
The belief of those who have in
vestigated the matter is, that both
the wounded men were lying down when the robber entered the car,
and that instead of Weher pulling
the bell rope, that it w9 pulled by
the man who had shot him.
Detectives of tbe American Ex
press Co. and of the Railroad Com
pany, have been working unoeasinelr since the crime was commit
ted, and several suspicious charac
ters have been shadowed day aud
night.
On Friday night, Davis, the man
with a bullet in his brain, return
ed to consciousness for a few min
utes, recognized- his friends and it
is rumored, described his assailant
As usual upon such occasions
there is no end of rumors, which
when boiled down, are found to
have no foundation in fact.
In daring and nerve the bloody
exploit of the train robber excels
anything ever read of in the an
nals of crime. Train robbiug has
always been done by a gang of men
numbering usually from five to ten;
but this fellow seems to have plan
ned and executed his work with
out assistance.
J. O. Howe, the express agent
at this point, says that the loss de
ducting money found, is but ten
and fourteen hundred dollars.

Thus it is the Senior serenade make our people glad, they shout for joy wheu it's fiuished. Truly God is good, that he gives our citizeus patience and Christian forbsarance to stand this annual torn foolery. Are we to have this racket for even "one night in the year" forever? We move that forbearance now cease to be a virtue. The Temperance Contest of the High School occurred Friday night, May 1, before a fair audience. The program was as follows : ESWAYS: "Anu T. Rum" Two Modes of Suppression. Charles T. Ai ulletto. "Lady Beatrix Chandos," "Did tho Knights all die of Yore?" Gertrude Spencer. OKATIOMS: M. T. Jugg," Effects of Alcohol on tbe Human System. Rice Holtzman. "Crusader," Education the only mode of Prohibition. W. H Elrod. DECLAMATIONS: 'The Old Silver Tankard's Story," Jesse E. McClelland. "The Bridal Feast," Josie E. h'ittman. The Judges awarded tbe prizes,
$5 each, to Miss Spencer for the Essay, lo Mr. Holtzman for the Oration, to Miss McClelland for the Declamation. The decision waii generally satisfactory. The declamation of Mi6s McClelland was regarded as probably the best ever delivered from the college rostrum. Miss Josie Pittman showed almost equal ability as a de-
Auditor should possess a speedy and summary remedy to enforco collections, and continues as follows : "If he was required to sell on the fourth Monday in March only, then in many instances the officers could not enforce collections for a year after the' dolinqueuoy and defalcation. It is my opinion that on failure to pay any installment of interest, when the same becomes due, the County Auditor is author, to sell the land at any time, after sufficient and proper notice. The duty imposed on him by Statute, 'to offer for sale on the fourth Monday in March, annually, all mortgaged lands on which payments of interests aro duo on the 1st day of January and unpaid on the day of sale,' is intended to be mandatory. He may sell at any time after defalcation and notice thereof, but must offer for sale on tho fourth Monday in March, annually, all mortgaged lands, on which pajmcnts of interests are due on tbe flrss day of January and unpaid on the day ef sale."
A NEW feature has been introduced by Mose Kahn. Every Saturday ho has arranged to have an auction sale in front of his store.

Now the "Spring-time is approaching, and the people who desire to have neatly fitting business auits cut and made should waste no time, but hasten to Ben. McGee's merchant tailoring establishment, south side public square, where a ehoiee line of French and English piece goods are kept in itock. No little ttiste is displayed by Mr. McGee iu the selection of these goods, the taste and judgment exhibited by him io the fashioning of them into garments is the surest test of the finished artist. Many a man owes his respectable appearauce to the skill and taste of bis Tailor, and such being the case, we cannot but pronounce Bcnj.

ethers to whom he had alluded. The
Convention ro.-o and remained standing while the prayer was offered. The Rev. "Mr. Dike, in addressing the
Convention noted the existence
Association as one of the notnwo-thy
signs of the tim3. As to the necessity of reform in tbe Divorce laws of the country he presented a startling and instructive array of statistics, showing rapid increase of divorces in proportion to marriage, the increase of crimes against chastity; and lax and conflicting legislation of lh several Stales. The remedy, was not to be found in a national divorce law, which would indeed relieve the conflict now existing between the laws of the States, but would not, probably, raise the average standard of legislation. It seems wiser to seek the exactment of better laws on the oart of the States themselves.
Attention was given to the question of.
the mall service and the Sabbath. ' Facts and flgurea laid .before the Association showed that the number of towns at which mail is delivered and the post-office is k.;pt apen on tho Sabbath is much greater every year, and the post-office is resorted i,o by Christian people, on the Lord's Day. Some hundreds of thousands of officials and employes are constrained by the regulations of the nostal service to
labo:r on the Sabbath. It was resolved to direct efforts of the Association in future to the discontinuance of mail service on the Lord's dny. The creation of a department: for th"suppression of Sabbath desecration, by the Woman's Christian Temperniice Union, as well as their work for Tem3erance, was hailed with jjrofound satisfaction, and their co-operation was invoked in the work inferred to. The Constitution of the society was amer dad sn s to recoirnize existing efforts "to corrupt the family," and "the lwl sanction of the liquor tnffic' among the evils which it is organized to oppose, and "needed reforms in the action of the government touching the Sabbath, the institution of tho familv. the reliiriou) ele
ment in education, tbe oath and public
morality as affected by the liquor tranto and ether kindred evils," among the specific objects which it seeks to promote. T. P. Stbfiiknsom, Cor. Sec Philadelphia, April 24, 1885.
