TO MEET Jl'I-Y 4tII. St. lions. Feb. 27. There was a general exinlus ttwlay of the dele gates to the industrial conference. Most of them expressed themselves as satisfied with the outcome of the gathering, although the delegates from Georgia, Louisiana, and other Southern States freely confessed that if the platform of the Demo cratic National Convention covered the financial plunks of the platform adopted yesterday, the new move ment would not cut much of a fig ure in their respective localities. The Kansas and Minnesota dele- gates. to, were inclined to be dis .. .. ... .,,i the piesilential rominating conven tion on July 4, and the old politi cians that manipnlatvd last night's conference were soundly berated for their part In making the gather ing follow those of the two old par ties. ' This morning the s jecial commit tee apKiiitcd to select a place lor the national convention met at the Richelieu Hotel, when the claims of St. Louis, Indianapolis, Omaha, Kansas City, Birmingham, Ala., and Mobile "were presented.

Atlanta' Con stitution. LOYAL TO THKIK HOMES. St. Locia, Feb. 2". At a caucus it became evident that many South erners were not in favor ot Third party action, holding that ' their secession from their old party, the Democratic, would only strengthen the Republicans. The logic of their argument was conceded bv all, and lie tore the caucus closed all the delc gatis from Georgia, including Liv ingston, the member of Congress from the Fourth Georgia district, and State President of t no Alliance, announced that should the conler ence determine on a Thirdl pai ty they would w ithdraw from the body. Four of the six Alabama delegates announced that they would do like wise, as did the delegates from Tcn Tiessee, Maryland, Virginia and the President of the North Carolina State Alliance. There are a number of protesting delee-tions, representing national organizations, which are knocking loudly for admission at Music Hall door and w hich threaten a second conference if barred out. These organizations, which are not repre sented on the credentials committee, and which have applied for repre sentation in the conference are the Reform Press Association, the Wo man's Alliance, the United : Order of A nti Monopolists, the Union Re- 4 -- i. x-.. iui m afioeociniiou, uiu ti-mmi .v- tional Farmer's League and manv smaller organizations. All these sent delegates and are protesting loudly that they have complied with all conditions of the call for a con ference and should have had place on the credentials committee; but will be satisfied if they get their representative voice in the pro ceedings of the conference. If they do not they promise that tliey will make more fun for the conference than it can possibly handle.' At a meeting of the Knights of Lab:r last triglit the demand isoi that order regarding matters which it desires represented were formulated in a plank which will be submitted to the resolutions committee when appointed : THE KOAXOKE AXI SOCTII EUXLEASEIK .; The Negotiations Consummated lu Philadelphia .Lease. Ha.i lletm. 1 1 Winston, Feb. 29. The Roa noke Southern railroad has lecn leased by the Norfolk nd Western railroad. Negotiations for the lease were consummated in Philadelphia and the Norfolk and Western will take control of its new line March 1. The purchasing coiiip-iiiy guar antees the principal and interest of Roanoke Southern first mortgage Kinds to the amount of $2,oOO,ot0. The Roanoke Southern was built with monev furnished from Haiti- more, Roanoke, and Winston and Salem. It extends from Roanoke southward through Virginia and NOrth Carolina to the SoiUh Caro lina line, and the enterprise was de signed by Col. F. II. Fries and other citizens of Winston. It will become an important connection of the Norfolk and Western, as it will in a short time form a link in a continuous line extending from lal- titnore bv wavof the L-altimoreand Ohio to Washington; thence to Roanoke by the Shenandoah Val ley line, and southward by the Roa noke Southern to Winston. - Reach ing out from Winston the Norfolk and Western, it is said, will seek extensions with all the Southern systems. ' " Through the Cape Fear and Yad kin Valley road the Norfolk and Western will connect . with . the Richmond and Danville,' Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard and Roanoke. Soon it will extend its system to Monroe or Charlotte, N. (, which will givo it a connection j with Col umbia, S. C, over the south-bound railroad.

Hut He Knew How to Itob a Train Stealing an Engine to Escape "With He la Pursued and a Rattle Takes Place. Rochestkr, X. Y., Feb. 27. Train No. 31, on the Central Hud son, is known as the American com pany's special. It runs every day in the year lietween New York and Duffalo, and carries only goods and proierty shiped by that company. The express company pays the Central Hudson many thousands of dollars yearly for the use of this train, and it runs on the same time and with the same privileges as the limited expresses. The train leaves New York at 9 o'clock each evening, and is due in this citv at 7:05 o'clock in the morning. ' Nearly all the cars are run through to , Chicago, and contain most valuable express matter. tiik "money" car. One car is known as the "money" car and in it is sent specie from the TT..:...i v....... . '.. r . . i "' ueurv u.r v.w,. V1'1 ,s mo.iev ... procvoi exchange Wtwcen thelmnks of New York and the west. The load of wealth sent from New York on this train is usually greater on Saturday evening than on Other days, and often amounts to more than a million dollars, in addition to the jewel iy and other valuables. ; One of tho most trusty messengers of the company, and sometimes several are placed in charge of this car, and 60 great is the secrecy observed in regard to the car and its contents that often the crew of the train do not know in which ear the money is carried. Daniel T. Mclnury, of this city, was in charge of the "monev" ear on the trip Saturday night. TIIK MAKK-IT OF THE SrKClAI- The train was made up of eight express cars and one day coach for the accommodation of the regular train crew. OnU one messenger was assigned to the nionev car, as the work of billin;; was light. The other cars had t.vo messengers. The train left Syracuse at ." o'clock this morning in charge of Conduc tor Emil Laas, of this city. The train was drawn by engine No. (592, with Caleb Charry, engineer. The coach was in the rear of the train and the money car just ahead. i THE AIK WHISTLE'S WARNING. When the train was near Weeds lort the conductor, who was in the coach with his two trainmen, thought he heard the air whistle sound very faintly. It was enough to arouse him to tlie belief that something was wrong in the express car. Going out on the platform of the coach he climltcd on the rail, and, looking through the hole where the bell cord comes through, he saw the upper part of a man whose lace below the eyes was concealed by a red flannel mask. The messenger he could not see! He went back, set the air brakes and called his two trainmen. Ihe three stood leaning I out troin the platform, looking for 1 ward along the sides of tlie t-xpres car. BULLETS WIIIPTLINO THROUGH THE AIK Suddenly a man's form apicared at the side door of the express car, revolver bullets whistled past. their ears and a voice was heard command- i ing them to signal the engineer to go ahead or take the consequences The trainmen were unarmed. The conductor told one of his men to jump off. run back to Jordan, and telegraph along the liiy? to Roches ter that they had train rolters on board. This wa6 done, and the con ductor signalled the engineer to go ahead at full speed, thinking that the robber would not dare to jump and would le captured at the next stop. The train went to Port Ryron, her brakes were set agair. and the conductor and trainmen went to the express car. MONEY AND JEWELRY SCATTERED. The car showed signs of a desper ate struggle. Money packages and i'ewclry were lying scattered about, everything in the car seemed stain ed with blood and Messenger Mc Inerv nan lving bleeding from several wounds and almost uncon scious. The roblier was nowhere to be seen and was supposed to have jump ed and made good his escape. Mc Inerv wanted to be brought on to Rochester and a telegram for an ambulance was sent on to Rochester, and the train went on to Lyons, the n to i-yons, tne ! nextstwp. llie news had rpread all i Illft tiic ilie ,,. tiimj and t10 . bt;lt,on at Ams was alive. A YorNO MAX WITH (ioLl KYKti LASSES. . Among others in the crowd was ' a well-dressed young man wearing goU eyeglasses and carrying a satch- 1 I slung by a strap over his shoulder. h happcnwl that the train- men had noticed this same young j 6orc oistramcu ana hitter n-eling, man at the station at Syracuse be- .growing, no doubt, out of the un fore the train pulled out, and they I friendly relations between the two had not been him since, and the ! roads and their unfortunate inii- juestion of what he was doing at ' Lyons and how he got there at once suggested itself. An attempt was made to seize him, but he pulled out two revolvers, held the crowd back, and backed across the vard until he reached a coal train, tne engine of which had steam up ready to pull out for the west. A MAX WITH XKKYE. TT x.nllrtl tli Tain Imld.iK- tbe tender to the first car and, climbing over the coal into the cab, drove the engineer and fireman out with his revolvers and started the engine. Conductor Laas and one of the switchmen procured a shotgun and freed the engine of the express, and, with the fireman and engineer, started in pursuit of the fugitive. The Central Hudson is a four tracked road and the two engines, though both going west, were not on the same track. The express engine soon overtook the robber, who suddenly reversed his engine ing a perfect hail of pistol bullets j into the cab as his pursuers went by. I pursuers went bv. I HlslFraiifc Tlml Til E BATTLE OX I hen the pursuer the pursued went duel ensued, the part this time. No one was hurt in either battle. About two miles le yond the robber found his engine was giving out, so he jumped out at a crossroad and started across tlie country, goin south. He managed to terrorize a fanner into letting him have a horse and rode on about two miles further south. Here he procured a horse and cutter, persuading their owner, a German fanner, to entrust hiai with them by tiring on him. THE PCKSC1T OVY.R THE OOCNTKY. The party -on the express engine had returned to Lyon, where the sheriffof Wayne county had organ ized a pos--.e. which under command of Deputy Sheriff Collins, started in pursuit. Meantime, the farmers along the robber's line of retreat had also turned out fully armed in pursuit. The runaway was sighted alout five miles south of Newark, lie was so closoly run that he turned at bay behind a stone wall, aiwl sur rendered to Deputy Sheriff Collins. Re was taken back to Lyons and lodged in jail. HEIS BELIEVED TO BE WANTEP. He gave the name of William Cross, and said he was from New Mexico and had lieen boarding in Syracuse for some time. He ad mitted that he was the man who had attempted the train rohSery. He is believed to le tho much-want-eJ Oliver Curtis Perry, who robbed Express Messenger Moore, near Utica, last fall. Tn E STOKY OF THE KOltliKliV. I The story of the attempt nt rob- j liery, as far as it can le gathered. I is this: ihe express messenger, be it understood, will imt talk. " Cross boarded the tram when it ' pulled out of Syracuse and climbed j on top of the express car. He was j Iiiovided with a hooked rope, i 'listening the hook in tlie sliniit i corniced roof on one side ot the car. j he let himself down 011 to the other, j and resting his toes on the edge that i runs along the car, he looked in the . glass of-the side door and saw the i express messenger in front of one of t tle safes, which was open, making ! up his bills. I lie smashed the glass with his 1 revolver, covered the messenger and shouted to him to hold tin his hands. Instead of doing this Mclnery i reached for the signal cord with one ' hand, and for a revolver with the j other. A bullet smashed the hand ! on the Cord, but tn.t before it had) given the signal that amused the ' conductor. Then Mclnery tired j on the roblier and put a bullet j through his coat. Then the robber j shot the messenger twice, once in the right leg and once in the temple, j He climbed into the car and a des j peratc struggle took place, which j did not end until the train was' stopped lor the nrst tiinr, near Weedsjxrt. It is evident that the robber had climbed out on top of the cars and remained there through the toi at .. , . i 1 ort Iiyron until the tram readied Lyons. So far as can be learned the robber secured absolutely notli ing, for which the company can j thank the readiness of Conductor Laas and the pluck of Mcsenger Mclnery. UK WAS A CuWIlOY. Later. It is now learned that Perry Lyons, the train robler, was formeily a cowboy, md later worked as a railway hrake'.nan. Itill Nj-e on Sanfonl, X. C.
