SOUTHEITiMM i Desperate Robber Boards Mail Coach and Kills a Mail Clerk. In Esc'ping Wi.h Valuable Packages He Has Leg Crushed. Run Down by Bloodhounds —Is Now Guarded by Mississippi Troops to Prevent Lynching. Birmingham. Ala.. March 1. —Accnrd--1 tng to reports received here by the officials of the Alabama Great Southern railroad, two postal clerks were shot on north-bound train No. 2, two miles north of Meridian, Miss., during an attempt to rob the train. The shooting done by Jim Paris, a negro, who boarded the train in the Meridian yards as it was puling out. Before it was under good headway. ! Paris entered the postal car and open- J ed fire on J. IT. Stockton and A J. Bass, killing Stockton instantly and | wounding Bass in the arm. The negro j ’ then seized a package of registered letters and Jumped off. In leaving the ! tram he fell and had one leg crushed under the wheels, but managed to drag himself three miles . Bloodhounds j were obtained at Meridian, the train having backed to that place. Their, scent led to the capture of Paris at daylight: Several registered letters, were found in his pocket. He was taken to jail at Meridian. The railroad officials say three or four negroes were Involved in the plot to rob the train, j though only one of them appears to have entered the postal car. Stockton, the dead clerk, lived it Meridian and Bass's home was near Birmingham. The killing of Express Messenger Stockton has caused much excitement. After Paris was placed in jail a mob of considerable proportions gathered about the stronghold. Fearing a-lynch-ing the sheriff notified Governor Vardaman, and the chief executive ordered out the local militia company Three full companies of state troops surround the county jail in which is lodged J. P. Paris, a negro, who is charged with the killing of John R. Stockton, a mail clerk, the serious wounding of J. A. Bass, another mail clerk, and the robbery of the mail car on the Alabama Great Southern train which left Memphis for Birmingham. A. O. U. W. Officer Severely Injured While 6erving Summons. Boston. March I.—While attempting to serve notice of a libel suit of William Miller, of St. Louis, supreme master workman of the Ancient Order of United Workmen. Deputy Sheriff Sils- j by was severely injured. As a result |

ot tbe schism in the order, John Sy- j monds, of Lynn, grand master work- j man of the state lodge, entered libel j proceedings against Miller, damages | being set at SIO,OOO aud Deputy Sheriff j SUsbury had been trying to locate the St. Louis man for several days. Last night the officer was notified that Miller was on his way to the headquarters of tbe national organization and the sheriff waited outside the door for him to appear. Miller escaped by darting into the headquarters and slamming tbe door on Sheriff Silsby's hand when the officer attempted to seize him. Three of the sheriff's fingers were fractured. The doors were then locked, bolted, chained and padlocked. Land for Settlers. Washington. March I.—Some excellent lands, including twelve townships of the Red I-ake Indian reservation in j northwestern Minnesota and a part of | the Rosebud reservation—about 41C,- ■ 000 acres —In Gregory county, S. D., j will be opened for setllnnient In a few months. President Roosevelt has con- ! ceived the idea that it would be to the ! Interest of the government to adopt i the plan of disposing of the land by j auction, and for some time he has been , talking on the subject with seuators ! ] and representatives in congress who i ! are interested in it. No decision as to I the method of sale has been deter-1 ] mined upon, but it Is not improbable i that In his proclamation announcing i the opening of the lands to settlement the president may prescribe how they shall be sold. Michigan Snow-Sound. Bay City. Mich., March 1. —The Michigan Central railroad has abandoned all trains between Bay City and ' Mackinac. The worst snow storm of ! twenty-five years is raging. At Blandish, Grayling and Sterling the drifts are ten feet deep. At Standisb a double-header passenger train Is In the snow and the passengers have been taken off. Snow plows have been unable to relieve several other trains The Detroit and Mackinac railroad Is also blocked, all Alpena trains being cancelled. Bnov< With Thunder and Lightning. New York. March 1. —In many parts of New York state a veritable blizzard 1* raging. At Rochester a driving , * now »*orm was accompanied by thunder and sharp flashes of lightning. The storm at that place was reported to be one of the worst of the suason.

TILT IN HOUSE Congressmen Indulge in Breezy Passages. Washington March 1. —During consideration of the District of Columbia appropriation bill in the house yesterday. Mr Scott of Kansas made the declaration that a negro had dined at the White House with President Cleveland duraing the latter's first administration. The statement was prompted by a reference by Mr. Gilbert <Ky.) to j the dining of Booker Washington at the White House. When the name was demanded Mr. Scott said it was C. H. J. Taylor, who was appointed by President Cleveland as recorder cf deeds for the District of Columbia. Mr. Gilbert observed that he and others never bad heard of the inci : dent, but the Democrats were not “par- j ticularly claiming" Mr. Cleveland, and Mr. Cochran (Mo.) said it was but cumulative evidence that “there is no better. Republican in the country than Grover Cleveland.” Mr. Scott In contrasting Booker Washington with Taylor, said the for- j mer was a man of recognized ability, i while he declared there was nothing I to commend the latter. A discussion of tne question of reciprocity by Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) and Mr. Williams, the minority leader, consumed the greater portion of the day. ■ Another feature of the day was the , declaration by Mr. Lovering (Mass.) j ■; that while the Repuolican party was : talking about "standing pat." thousands of dollars were being lost to manufactures and that “our boasted prosperity is fast coming to an end” because of the failure of the party to j enlarge the draw-back system and give j the new markets which he declared I were now demanded. Mr. Lovering 1 was loudly applauded on the minority . side when he took issue with his party. CORBETT STILL CHAMPION Fight Stopped in the Eleventh Round by Referee. San Francisco. March 1. —Champion 1 Featherweight Young Corbett had no difficulty in retaining his laurels last j night, defeating Dave Sullivan, of New ; York, in the 11th round of a scheduled 20-round contest. Corbett left the j ring without a mark, while on the oth- j er hand Sullivan received a terrific beating only the merciful action of I Referee Graney in stopping the contest < in the 11th round saving the New Yorker from having bis face beaten i into a pulp. Sullivan put up a game j fight and. while out-boxed, out fought ‘ and out-generaled. he gave the cham- ' pion cause for worry in one round, j Taking another feature out of the fight, which was Sullivan’s excessive game-j ness, the contest was never in doubt.! Governor Vardaman and Lynching*. Jackson, Miss., March 1. —Governor Vardaman has given an interviyew on j the subject of lynching, which, in view of his utterances during the campaign has much importance. The governor, in concluding the interview, j said: "I can sympathize thoroughly; with one whose friend or relative has | been outraged or atrociously murdered j by a black brute, and I am not going to censure people who ac: a little in-: , discretely under the influence of pas- : sion thus aroused, but there is one j thing certain, the law must be upheld i and so long as 1 occupy the guberna-1 torial chair I shall do all within my power to see that the laws are enforced. .The courts must perform their functions. When this is done the people will be satisfied.” Making Navy More Efficient Washington. March I.—lmportant to the efficiency of the American navy was the action of Secretary bloody in signing the order for the equipping of the eighteen battleships and armor-; ed cruisers now building with submerged torpedoes. The board on construction recently decided to omit tor- i pedo tubes from all battleships. There ‘ was such a protest, however, from many officers in the navy that at the instance of the secretary the board j reconsidered its decision. It Is believ- ! ed that the torpedo tubes with i ! the Jap battleships are equipped are i responsible for the damage to the Rus-! sian battleships in the Fort Arthurj day attack as the Russian vessels were hit below the water line.
