THE EXPRESS ROBBERY. No Now Developments Bat Some K*peeked in the Near Future—Frank Jauaes oa the Jim Cummings Story—He Thinks Cummings Was Not That Kind of a Robber— The letter at Ills Ole Home. St. Louis, Hot. 6.—Superintendent Damsel of the Adams Express Company f and Robert Pinkerton, who has been working In the express robbery ease-, went before the grand jury yesterday ami gave their testimony in the case. They remained in the room some time, ami left the Four Courts building together, 1 Mr. Damsel claiming at the time that they had not been before the grand jury. After they had goue the jury remained in session fully an hour without auy body before them. The assistant circuit attorney came down from, the jury room and remained in consultation with Cir- ’ cnit Attorney Clover for about fifteen minutes. Thou he returned to tho grand jury room, and about teu mfivutes later the body adjourned. Both Mr. Clover and his assistant denied positively that either Mr. Damsel or Mr. Pinkerton had been before the jury or that the matter had been taken up at ail by them. They had not touched the case at all. Neither gentleman, however, would offer any*'explanation for the presence of tho express official aud ids detective in the grand jnry rooms. It is certain that an indictment was wanted against some one in connection with the robbery. As the Criniiual Court was not in session, a bench warrant could not be secured, so the jury adjourned until to-day. Nevada, Mo., Nov. 6.—The reception of the Jim Cummings letter has revived the interest here in the Frisco express robbery. Your correspondent saw Mr. James yesterday and asked him his opinion of Cummings’ connection with thcP robbery, lie.'said: “It is absurd to think that he had the slightest connection with that work. You can rest assured that Cummings would npt have gone into that car if he had known there was $100,000 there totally unguarded, lie would have been afraid that someone would shoot him when he came out. If the messenger had given him a tip he would have thought it an attempt to lead him into a trap. As I remember him he,was about five feet eight inches in height and would weigh about one hundred and forty ponnds. His hair was dark and I think bis eyes were gray. He seemed much older tliau his real age. The crow’s feet were thick around his eyes. He had an r exceptionally small foot and wore a boot not larger than a number five. 1 do not know whether he is living or dead. His age is about forty years.” Fotiieiingham, the express messenger, is well known in this eity. He had a brother, Thomas, here who worked for several months in the Missouri Pacific yards. He came to Nevada from Rich Hill, Mo., shortly after the great strike. He lost his place in the yard- and left this city about the first of last October. He is how in Mansfield iu this State. The Cummings’ letter aud the nnsigued bank notes were, at the request of Superintendent Damsel, forwarded to the Adams express office at St. Louis. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 5.—Chief Speers has received informatiou that Jim Cummings, the ex-desperado aud { member of the James gang, has returned to his old home at Liberty. Soon after the Glendale ^robbery Cummings went west, and has since "been at work on a stock raucli iu tVvomiug Territory. He returned Monday, and it is said to be his in-, tention to spend the remainder of his days in Clay Comity. The fact of his return Aas not been a secret, aud if he is wanted ciu suspicion of the recent express robbery iu St. Louis it would uot be a very difficult matter to find him. THE HOUSE SPEAKERSHIP. A Delicate Question Arising In the Kreut of Speaker Carlisle's Election to the Fiftieth Congress Being Contested.! Washington, Nov. 6.—Rumors have beeu in circulation which can be traced to no authoritative source, representing that Speaker John G. Carlisle, although he has been re-elected, will decline the Speakership in the Fiftieth Congress. The story current upou the street has been that the Speaker, understanding that Mr. Thoebe, who was his opponent last Tuesday, intends to contest the election, feets that it would be improper under the circumstances to accept a position which would require him to appoint the committee whic* mast pass upon the election contest. Nooody can say that any thing has been heard from Mr. Carlisle regarding this matter, ami it is extremely improbable that the discussion which has been started ‘had its initiation iu auy way from him. The point once raised, however, has necessarily led to much disenssidh. A great many people seem disposed to believe that the question of delicate propriety which is thus raised is one Mr. Carlisle cau not well avoid. They insist it woqjd be out of piaCe for the Democratic majority of the next House to determine in advance whether Mr. Carlisle or the contestant for his seat, Mr. Tho&be. is entitled to represent the Sixth Kentucky district. They add that eyen if the House undertake to pass thns informally upon a contested case by choosing a member whose election is contested for Speaker, Mr. Carlisle himself ought not to accept the honor under the circumstances. Of eonrse all this is splittiug hairs, and it may be Carlisle will have the good sense to pay no attention to snch ridiculous refinements of propriety. Still, the talk goes on, and is seemingly encouraged by Raudall’s friends, who fancy his choice for the Speakership would be inevitable with Carlisle out of the road. Many of Carlisle’s friends, on the other hand, insist that there are plenty of good men. If Carlisle is uot to be chosen, aside from Mr. Randall. In this connection they speak most prominently of Blount, of Georgia; McCrary and Brecbeuridge, of Kentucky; Springer, of Illinois, ami Hatch, Burnes and Bland, of Missouri; also, Mills, of Texas. 4
