Richmond, Va., Oct. 23 Capt. Hinde,
the Pinkerton detective, visited the Gov
ernor's office this morning and got a re
quisition for Morganfield, the Cincin
nati suspect. Detective Ilinde said:
"We have wrung from Searcey the ad
mission that he was connected with the
robbery, and he left for the scene of the
hold-up last night in the custody of the
officers, lie will point out to-them the
place where the pouch has been con
cealed by the bandits.'
Detective Ilinde said there was no
doubt of Searcey 'a connection with the
robbery.
Stafford Court Ilousn, Va., Oct. 23.
Sheriir Kennedy has gone to Cincin
nati! armed with a requesition from
Charles A. Morganfield, under arrest
there, with a broken leg, and who is be
lieved to have been engaged in the
Aquia creek train robbery.
It is now certain that there were not
more than three persons engaged in the
robbery and it is believed to be probable
that! there were not more than two.
After a tedious journey up hills and
down, through ravines and dreary roads,
the Searcey escort, upon reaching Staf
ford Court House, proceeded to the resi
dence of County Clerk Bryan, where
Searcey was conducted into the parlor.
Mr. i Pinkerton carried a heavy Win
chester rifle on the trip and Searcey was.
heavily chained. Searcey waived ex
amination, and the necessary papers
were made out turning the prisoner over
to the county authorities. lie will be
held here until the grand jury assem
bles, the 3rd Wednesday in November.
Subsequent to these proceedings, the
part lett here in charge of Bgb Picker
ton for a trip over the route supposed to
have been taken by the robbers when
they left the train near Wide Water
station. Last night was, it is supposed,
spent at a farm house adjacent to the
scene of the robbery, and to-day, accord
ing to the programme arranged, the
party will proceed through the woods in
the hope that they will be able to ex
tract some further confession from
Searcey and thus locate eome of the sup
posed buried treasure.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 23. Morgan
field's condition has improved so much
that it is thought that he can now be re
moved to Virginia for trial. It is said
that D. E. Watchell, postmaster at In
gomar, Ohio, recognized Morganfield's
photograph as that of one of three men
who stopped and robbed him at Har
per's Ferry last "January.
A one-legged man, who gives the
name cf Michael Shields, was arrested
at Middletown, Ohio, on suspicion and
brought here vesterday. He says that
he found Morganfield lying in a ditch
near St. Bernard with a broken leg and
took him to the home of a farmer named
Gieswan.
Calverton, Va, Oct. 23. Before be
ing brought to Frederiekburg Charles
J. Searcey, the Aquia Creek train robber,
made a confession which was taken
down, put into type writing and is now
in the hands of the proper authorities.
There were but two men concerned in
the robbery, Morganfield and Searcey.
They had known each other before and
had talked of a scheme of that sort, but
Searcey for some time refused to go into
it. Thev finally met in Washington and
there agreed to rob a train, but fixed on
no particular one. From Washington
they came down to Fredericksburg and
hanging about there for two or three
days staved in the woods most of the
time, but coming into Fredericksburg
several times. On the afternoon of the
day of the robbery they walked over to
Brooks station from Fredericksburg and
there waited for the northbound train.
Thev got on the train at Brooks in the
darkness behind the tender, having
been hidden near the pickle factory under
a car. when the train stopped. They had
no particular reason for selecting Aquia
Creek as the spot for the robbery. Mor
gau field blew" open the car door with
dvnamite, using, a half stick with fuse
and cap in the end. Morganfield also
entered the car, while Searcey stood out
side and terrorized the train crew and
passengers. After the robbery they got
off the engine and struck northwest over
the count v road, going to Calverton
station, in Fauquier county, and then to
Midland and Balston ami on by the
Fauquier White Sulphur Spring, fol
lowing the telephone line to Front Koyal.
Near Calverton they hid in the woods
some of the goods they had gotten from
the express car.
After being brought, here Searcey
agreed to go and show where the:-e
things, consisting mostly of bonds and
bank drafts, were hidden. On Monday
he was taken from Fredericksburg, with
Mr. Robert Pinkerton of New York,
Sergeant C. W. Edrington of Fredericks
burg, and Mr. W. Seymour White,
Commonwealth's attorney for Stafford
countv, over the route traveled by him
in trying to escape, to endeavor to locate
the spot where the bonds had been hid
den Monday night the party spent
with ex-Sheriff Hugh Adie of Stafford.
After breakfast, with Mr. Adie, the party
set out to find the place where Morgan
field and Searcey divided the money and
hid the express pouch containing the
bonds and drafts. Up through the Staf
ford roads they went by Stafford Store
on to Bristowsburg and to Calverton,
Searcey trying to remember the road he
and his pal traveled and the place he left
the road. From Calyerton the party
drove to Catletts and from there back
on the road to Stafford's Store,
About three miles from Catletts. Sear
fey identified the place where they left
the road and took to the woods. Driv
ing into a field the horses were tied be
hind a hay stack and the starch for the
bag began. The shades of evening were
falling and Searcey, handcuffed to
Pinkerton, with Sergeant Edrington, ex
Sheriff Adie and Commonwealth's At
torney White, spiral out through the
pines. Searcey had defcribed the spot
exactly, but an hour's search failed
to find it. It was getting quite dark
when Mr. Adie called out that he had
found the spot, and all parties hastened
up to where under the roots of a blown
down tree, just as Searcey had de
scribed, the bag was taken out. It?
contents were, not examined. The
party drove at once back to Calverton
where the bag was sealed and shipped to
Adams Express company at Washing
ton. The party will spend the night
here and drive back to Frederiekburg in
the morning.
Richmond, Va., Oct. 23. A special to
the Disjxitch from Calverton, Fauquier
county, says: The pjuch containing the
bonds and money was found in the woods
near Calverton at a late hour to-night.
The amount of its contects would not be
given. Its hiding place was revealed by
Searcey, who made a full and .free con
fession, implicating all concerned in the
robbery. It is expected that anotherim
portant arrest will be made before mid
day to-morrow. The detectives will not
give out anything more to-night.
Sheriff Kennedy, of Stafford county,
Superintendent Herring of ! the Adams
Express company, and Capt. Frederick
Hinde, of the Pinkerton Detective
agency, visited the Governor's office thi3
morning and had a long conference with
the Executive, the result of which was
that Hinde, Kennedy and Express Mes
senger Crutchfield left the city at 2:20
o'clock p. m., for Cincinnati, armed with
a requisition for Morganfield.
Cincinnati, Oct, 23. This afternoon
Deputy Watchman Wright positively
identified C, A, Morganfield as the man
whom he saw with Searcey in Cumber
land, Md, Messenger Murray wanted
first to hear the man's voice, as he said
he would never forget that voice. While
Murray remained out in the hall, others
got Morganfield to talking. Murray in
sisted there was no doubt about it being
the voice that held him up, be afterwards
fully identified the prisoner,
! aluminium"tested.
Naval Experts Find It Not So Adapt
able For Mating Ships' Boats As
Claimed Much Information
in a Short Despatch.
Washington, Oct. 23. A cable re
ceived by the Navy Department this
morning from Nagaski, Japan, indi
cates what a great amount of informa
tion can be transmitted at little cost. It
contained but two words, viz: "Chemul
po, Carpenter," but Secretary Herbert
learned from it that Commodore Car
penter, the commander-in-chief of the
Asiatic station, had hooted his flag on,
the cruiser Charleston, which had just?
joined the squadron, and that the vessel
was sailing from Nagaski this morning,
bound for Chemulpo, Korea, where he
will join the Baltimore and Concord,
leaving the Petrel at Nagaski. The
Monocacv is still at Tien Tsin.
The Navy Department has just com- 1
pieteu a test ot aluminium as a material
for ship boats with the object of deter
mining its adaptability to naval uses,
with results that demolish some of the
elaborate claims made for the new
metal. On account of;its comparatively
light weight its utility on board ship
would be almost inestimable if it were
not for the fact that it has been now
shown to be exceedingly susceptible to
the corrosive action of salt water. Two
sheets, a sixteenth of an inch, were im
mersed for three months at the Norfolk
navy yard. One was stated to be
pure metal and the other was slightly
alloyed with nickel. The pure plate
was thickly covered with large barnacles
throughout its surface and was more or
le?s pitted by the action of saltwater.
The alloyed plate was encrusted with
smaller barnacles and was badly cor
roded, being perforated and eaten away
over much of its exposed surface. This
plate was as injuriously affected as a
combination of iron and copper would
have been with the same exposure. The
claim that barnacles would not adhere
to the metal was not substantiated in the
smallest degree. In the opinion of naval
experts it will not be advisable to build
aluminium boats if they are intended to
remain any length of time in the water,
though it-s use may be advantageous, on
account of the great gain in lightness,
for metal work expo.-ed to sale water
only occasionally. The us? of alloyed
aluminium caunot be recommended near
salt water under any circumstance.
A REIGN OP 1 ERROR
In Kansas and Indian Territory,
Caused by the Numerous
Robberies.
Fort Smith, Ark., Oct. 23. Four nu n
robbed every store and the postoffice in
the vilbge of Watova, a station on the
Kansas and Arkansns Valley railroad.
A hold up at Tallala, six miles this side
of Watova, was anticipated, but did not
take place. A posse of United Stales
marshals left for Gibson, where they
will be joined by the Indian police and
others, when a concentrated effort will
be made to capture the robbers, who held
up the train last Saturday night. John
Vann, who held the horses of the rob
bers Saturday night, was brought in
yesterday morning and is now in the
"United States jail. A reign of terror

Kai eiuh, Oct. 22.
Mention was made Saturday of an inter
view that day with rion. Oliver H. Dockery
here, in the course-of which he said that
there was to be a meeting of Chairman
Holton and other Republicans at Greensboro
that night. The meeting was held, and it
confirmed what Mr. Marion Butler had
done in putting up Walter A, Montgomery,
Ksi., of this city, as the fusion nominee for
Associate Justice, vice Connor, who declined
to accept the nomination. Hon. John
Nichols had a letter yesterday from Chair
man Holton, in which the latter said that
everything was arranged satisfactorily. The
ticket which Chairman Butler, so . kindly
sent me Saturday was a ''proof' and must
have been seut up to Chairman Holton for
action.
It is now said that Mr. Montgomery's
name was pretty well agreed on Friday.
Other persons says there was quite a split as
between Guthrie and Montgomery, If the
latter be true, and Mr. Dockery intimated as
much, then Chairman "Butler has again
shown his power.
The tickets will now be prepared at once
and the fusionists will have them in hand
by the end of this week. It will be noticed
that the Populists endorsed the Republican
nominees for Superior court judges and so
licitors in all cases, so far as your corre
spondent is informed.
It is said to-day that a railway is to be
built from some point on the Seaboard Air
Line, perhaps Apex, to Lillingtou, Harnett
county. The movement for this new line,
which will open a tine country, is said to be
well under way.
Interest in the fair is very great. Never
was there a liner prospect for a great exhibi
tion. The number and quality of the horses
and cattle are far ahead of anything ever
seen in this State. All day yesterday ex
hibits oh special trains or cars arrived, many
of them from the Virginia State exposition
at Richmond. Most of these contained
-animals. So great is the number of horses
that workmen at daylight this morning be
gan to build fifty additional stalls.
President Julian S. Carr and Secretary
Ayer have certainly done a great deal of
well-directed work. This shows for itself
now. Interest in the fair is more general
than ever before.
The display of farm products'shows what a
very.fruitful year this has been. The greater
variety illustrates the increased diversifica
tion of crops. Mr. Carr makes a tine show,
from his model farm, and there are other
exhibits of like character, which will be a
decided stimulus to the general run of
farmers.
The racing programme is certainly a good
one, the entries more numerous than ever,
and the horses a fine lot. In the gayer
features there is plenty to amuse. In the
city there is gayity, no less than four balls
being arranged for. There is on the fair
grounds the finest menagerie , ever seen in
the South. This is Wombwell's, which.is a
famous English one, started in 180., and
which come to the United States in March
last. ...
The menagerie had an exciting trip here.
It left Richmond Saturday night on a spe
cial train of twenty-one cars. When near
Gaston an employe discovered that one of
the cages was broken, probably having been
struck by a passing train, and that a lion
and a lioness in the cage were about to es
cape. The train was stopped and on the
instant the lioness sprang off, l'ursuit was
at once begun. Armed with revolvers and
pitchforks, the menagerie attaches and the
train hands followed the lioness. She was
found in a field eating a sheep she had just
killed. When the men came up she showed
fight. Pistols were fired all around her, and
she retreated, still holding the sheep in her
mouth. Three lion-tamers led the pursuit
with great daring. Several times the angry
lioness charged them, but was met .with
pitchforks. Several times it was thought
they would have to kill the
valuable and very handsome ani
mal. Finallv one of the tamers lassoed
her, and she was drawn up to a stump. Her
head and feet were lassoed and she was tied
securely and then dragged back to the train
and her cage. It required an hour and a
half to make the recapture. Two of the
menagerie attackes were hurt, but, not
badly. Yesterday the cage was repaired and
made jstrong.
Dr. J. 1.. M. Curry is here. This afternoon
he met several prominent citizens in the
