A train wbicb was hi'M up last night on tlic Ricbmond, Freilericksburg and Potomac railroad, reached the Pennsylvania station at Jer sey City at 8:05 this morning bringing with it a undly shattered express car. The Adams hxprcss company's inessen (?ers proceeded at once to the head quarters in New York city. They re ported that all of their sales had been rifled by the robbets. It is supposed that the bandits obtained between $150,000 and $200,000. When the express car was side tracked, the passeii(eis and passers by and train men gathered around to examine a spec tacle unique in the history of railroading in this section. It was found that the heavy oak doors had been splinted by sticks of dwiamite thrown into the car by the robbers. In addition to this the marks of revolver bullets were plainly visible. livery pane of glass in the win dows of the ear had been shattered by the force ol the explosion. The train men were, as usual, reticent nbout discussing the affair, but Colonel I. btiackellu.-d, u ncwsoniK-r man who happened to be on board the train at the time, iliscussul the incident freely and eave an recount ol the manner in which the robbers secured their olunder und made their escape. Mr. Shackellird is now connected with the Times liuter- pnscol I iKiinrisville. (.a. He told the following story : "About seven or eight miles the other side of Quanliio station, the train came to a sudden standstill ijuantico is loca ted on the l'otoninc river on the Vir ginia side. When the train stopped, the conductor, M. A. Birdsong, was thus addressed by one uf the masked robbers, evidently the captain oi the irang: 'Throw up your hands or we'll blow your brains out.' "From the manner in which they ar ranged I he signal lor stopping the train as well as the manner in which they afterwards made their escape, it was evident that several of the gang were expeiier.ccd railroad men. That thev were desperate mm was even more evi deut, and the conductor and fireman lost no time in obeying their instructions, and wisely tDo, I guess. There were tit least six or seven masked men. and I could plainly distinguish them all in the clear moonlight ol the early evening. In tact, so near did they come to me that in spite of their masks, I am almost sure that I could recognize some of them, if I ccild sec them again, from certain little peculiarities of drcs or speech." "When the alarmcc" tias9en"crs crowded out ol the cars to see what was the matter, the robbers fired a perlcct fusilade of shots to intimidate them as well a to ti tauten the railroad men. The rubbers rifled the express cur without loss of time. They put their sticks of dynamite under the door of the express car and blew it open. The nu n boarded the car at White lirook station, a few miles the other side of (Jumtico station. Then, while the tram was in motion, they worked their way along the too of the ear until thev succeeded in boarding the eiminc and e;ah. Then they held up t bectiginccr and nieinan. I'he robbeis cut the eneir.c loose and piled their plunder into the leicomotive .al), while the crowd piled in on top of it. Then they turned on steam and started for Ouautioo as last as steam eould carry tliem. The conductor pur sued t ne engine on toot as last as he ould run lor six or seven miles. When he reached (Jimntieo station l:c found the destcrutors had turned the engine loose, and that by cleverness of an oper ator it had been sidetracked and ditched just in time to prevent a colli si in with the south bound train. Richmond, Vn Oct. 13 Three police men left today for the scene of the train robbery near Qunntico. Twenty thous and dollars was the amount ol money sent from this city by the train.

She gave them shelter for the night, Mr. i' radv and Ins son taking room and bed together. On awakening this morn ing the fattier, J. A. Frndv, was found found dead in bed.

Much credit is due Mrs. Mc kenzie, in whose home shelter was given. Mr. Frndv was 51 years old nnd had a wi'e and several children.

Fully four thousand people were assembled here today to hear Senator M. V. Kan som deliver his address to the Confeder ate eterans association ol North Caro lina. Of tbis number perhaps three I, n dred were veterans, who nre here in their annual encampment. General Ransom is a great speaker ou the floor of the t'nitcd Sti.tes Senate, his last great effort in that body having been declaied by one of the niMt com petent critics of I Ik- nation's capital the finest speech delivered on the ll-mr of tl Senate for 20 years; he is a po-.vcit'ul stump orator, capable of holdingand en thusing his crowd as lew men can; lint when lie stands bcfeirc an audicn.c 'fold Confederate veterans and os.iys to recount the deeds of daring and c i' duty that marked the four years ol the gic.it war now 110 yeais behind in, !.e ?

Mini streams of it, which pour dovw, i he checks of old vets in a wav that s'i nv? them to be completely under the e ..' -irni ol the speaker. General Ransom's address e,i :; un usually long, consuming just i-.K mm hour, but it covered mn.'h uint-n v. It recited the glories and tl;.- ;.rivuii- from Manassas to Appomattox, ,i: 1 tin struggles from Appomattox till n nv. He declared that no sihhcr-i i-t' earth had ever fought such odds, i.r -hown such courage, fortitude and m.iiMi. em valor. He said that the greatest e.ni I -ment paid to any soldiery l r s x hun dred yenrs was paid the army ol tlu South by General Grant wh.n h. f; n e it as bis opinion to the officials in Wash ington that the South could never b subducd unless the rules ot civilized war fare be aunulled und the exchange ol prisoners discontinued. And this w,i almost equalled by l'resldcnt Line-an when he declared that he could suggest no way ot conqucrii g the South except by enlisting in the Federal army the slaves ol the South. Throughout Senator K iasam's ad dress was ehanieteriiffl by gumine and fervid oratory. At night the veterans maiched in a body to Senator Ransom's hotel and called him out for another talk, alter ex pressing, through u. h. Ferguson ol Waynesvillc, their appreciation of his great speech in the afternoon. Asheville was chosen as the next -lace for the holding of the encampment, nnd Maj. I). K, Collins of Iirysoii City was elected commander for the ensuing year. Capt. M. Ii. Caiter of A .dieville ' pur chased 1500 loaves of bread lor the en campment, for which he was ,hanl:e I by a public vote. The veterans bring ihc best uf neves from the counties ol the "est concerning the present canvass. There is not a county west of the l-icnch H: ... el that is lagging in this light. I.iv in Haywood, Thomas in lachsou, Wood-van! in Swain, King in Grah-mi, Sandeis in in Clay, and Rav in Macon, will all be cut to the lower house ol tin- legislature, and your cousin Kopc lilins and Ii.

The canvass that I.. c Ci.,ta lias be gun for the Senate in llavevo. el eoiiuty is being talked oi out lu re almost as much as anything cl-c connected with politics.

HTil (.,, The Republican paper here, in its at tempt to find cause for additional on slaughts against the present county government system, has printed a story, with a big headline accompaniment, of treatment received by women who are sentenced to service on the county chain tjni'g. Great stress is laid upon the as sertions that women nre mnnncled with bid! and chain; must work the roads with short handled shovels; must wear striped clothes; are worked side by side with Lions of both colors, and are guarded by a man with a Winchester. Further than this, it ii charged that a woman of tender years, after having been manacled lor many days was taken out, stripped of her convict garb and whipped with a leather strap. It is also charged that a woman was worked on the toads until she grew so faint that she eould work no longer. The woman Hi st referred to is Sarah Taylor nnd the hitter Alary lane l.vua. Capt. II. II. White, superintendent of the county convict lorce, was in Ashe ville today, and Tun Citizen had a talk with him cauccrning the story relerred to. As to putting ball and clain on women, Capt. White denies it emphati cally. Not even in the case of male con victs is the bull and chain used. In iicai Iv all cases, when a new convict is receive 1 he has a small chain to bisankle, nit this is merely lor the purpose of se ining the prisoners at night. As to the Lvda woman, she was put to work and kept at it for an hour or sue ii a matter, when it was discovered that di'case had made her too ill to WOlli. As to the case of the Taylor woman: She was worked first in thequarters and then on the road, x:ept when she was siek. hue would sit down and reluse to work, indulge in bad conduct, use imnu- deucc toward the guards and talk to persons passing the scene of work. She was whipped ou the bare shoulders with a small leather strap- she was not "stripped." lloth of I he women have made affidavit that they received no punishment that was not merited. The women are worked on the roads there is no provision for their care otherwise. I'uuishmcnt must be meted to them in some manner when thev openly and repeatedly violate the rules ot the camp. The same mode of piii-isiiiiieut is in vogue as is observed in the penitentiary, and Capt. White is spoken of by people who have bad every opportunity oi observing, as a humane siipeiiiitcudeat and inclined to show every leniency consistent with good gov- ninient in tne camp, l he Citizen bad it sonic t ime ago that the convicts re- ' vol lair treatment at his hands, and tins statement was made by a colored bov who had iust been discharged. t ue iv gisicr Has scared una mare s nest in its z. il to hud a county govern ment egg, and to range itself on the sale of two women perhaps as depraved is iiniicoaiiie county ever saw.
