The thieves got nothing in the way of booty. The; train left Chicago yesterday and reached this city, at 11:5Q o'clock p. m. Its! stop was very short but in that time three men heavily armed boarded the rear end of the express car. The lights had scarcely disappeared from view when the robbers were on the engine with pis tols presented and the usual demand "to hold up your hands." Both engineer and fireman disregarded the . order and showed fight and were laid out with two shots in each.

He took the journal to examine it and while doing so Messrs.

Thisjwas by far the dullest day at the Stock) Exchange for many weeks past. The sales footed up only 114,000 shares and the' dealings were of ( a retail character throughout the session. After a very moderate de cline at tile opening a recovery ensued, owing to a special movement in Distillers, which carried that stock up to 24 from 22 V at the clo:;e yesterday. The stock lost about one-half of the improvement late in . the day, but the general list dis played a strong front. Big 'Four and General Electric were the only notable exceptions. The former declined 2 and the latter about 1 per cent The Granger, Reading, Western "Union, Chi cago Gas, New ''England, Lackawanna, and Delaware and Hudson closed any where from j to 1 per centi above last night's fihals. Speculation left off about firm in tone. The loan department of the exchange wis more thaniusually in teresting; early ill the dav; the! supply of stocks was, - iif anythinjr, better than, on ; yesterday, but when late bor rowers . of Louisville . and j Nashville wanted to fill" their requirements thev iound .it ia difficult operation. In other: words, some of the foreign houses refused to lend at 1-32 to 1-1 0, which were the rates current during the morning: and advanced the! quotation rapidly until some of the delinquents had to pay as high as 1 to 14- per tent. The shorts wre not i little disconcerted by this unexpected move and the- "squeezes- was the sole, topic of discussion after business hours. The foreign j houses, in response ! to inquiries concerning the scarcity of stock, had nothing; to say be yond theif act that they were nbt disposed to srive. the bears facilities to be used small hemp rope was the negro. His face torted, and swollen been fired into his back, literally tearing his coat to pieces. -The! iob was well executed. The rope Was tied in a regu lation nangsman's knot and the negro's feet were well above the ground. Coroner Gray and I a itiry 'repairea early to t'ie scene of! tjhei; lynching and after viewing the body of the dead man rendered a verdict that the I negro came to his death at the hands of j persons un known to them. .j -1 - After the inquest; the officers were ordered to take charge of the body but the surging mass of avenging men, which had by tins time assembled, would not 'Jet them touch! hiinU A coal cart passing near by was pressedjjnto service and the body thrown. into it: It was then hauled to Mayor Trput s residence on Campbell avenue, it seeming to be the intention of the mob to bury it in his front yard. 'At this I critical moment Rev. W. C.

The men outside the car also tookpart.in the fusilade.iThe attack then took a new turn, j iThe men in the car had: emptied their revolvers and were reloading them. : In this; lull the robbers tried a novel plan for which they had prepared. They had grappling hooks. These they fasten on the top of the express car and with ropes lowered themselves to the top of the door.! Ihis was done td avoid being a target tor the bullets, that soon com menced to pour through the sides of the car trom tne inside. lhe railroad men were aiming low, while serenely above them the two robbers were wielding a heavy sledge. Soon an opening large enough for the robbers to enter showed it self. Through this they leaped,' revolvers in hand faced the conductor and messen ger, both similarly equipped. Then fol lowed a battle royal j The messenger and conductor were plucky and, partly guarded by boxes and packages, fired at the robbers as fast as they could shoot. The thieves fired too, but they were at a disadvantage, j During the shooting the conductor. received a slight wound in the hand. Neither side seemed to be able to conquor,; when help came to the railroad employes. The shooting had aroused the passengers and they, terrified and just waking up, had been busily concealing their valuables. On tli0 train dead-heading his way, was P. J!. Sanders, a brakeman on the road, die came to the rescue iof the con ductor and messenger armed vith a shot gun. He attacked the j robbers from the rear and though in turn attacked by the third rubber, he managed to shoot one of those in the express car through the body. The others seeing their compan ion fall bleeding, took to their heels and got away through the fields. The wounded robber gave the name of Geo. Jones. He gave the names of the other two robbers as Martin! Nichols and J. Hardin, i Nichols and Hardin were captured this forenoon, in a corn field not far from the; scfenej of the hold up. ' A fourth man whbse name is not yet known to the railroad officials was caught about 6 o'clock; this morning at Odin, a tawn ood !t a,,out ten "hies north of here. ! FEVER AND FAMINE.

AU the Horrors of an Kpidemic Ex cept the Mortality In a State of Siege Assistance NeeUed One Death and Two New Cases i Yesterday A Statement From the Board, of j Health: Savannah, Sept. 21.' The Morning Aetcs specal from Brunsw ick is as fol lows: One death occurred from fever to day, Mrs. Winkler, moth r of Charles Winkler, the barber. T ro new cases were reported, both mu atto women, Sarah Bland, 101 North Albany street, and Lola Scott, 624 B stre t. One case, that of James Sinclair is reported dis charged. The number f cases now under treatment is seventc en. . Dr. Robert Buford, recei itly appointed Government quarantine officer, will make his headquarters i.t Brunswick and is lending his aid in treating pa tients. I S Surgeon Murray appeared before the Board of Health to-day ai Ld 6tated that his investigations proved 1 hat this was a siege in every sense, c f the word. He said that Brunswick now had all the horors of an epidemii : without the great mortality and sickne ss that usually follow in the wake of ' Je lidemics; that the yellow fever here was light and he could easily handle it vi ;h his. forces. He could not, howeveKd annease the hungry poor and especially desired the organized bodies governing Brunswick now to officially issue a statement to the people of the United Stales of Bruns wick's actual condition, jjive it to the generous press of the country and ask them to publish it soUliat the world could realize Brunswick's helplessness and send relief. Hie bodies immediately fected and del egated Col. Goodyear to! draw up the statement and hand to correspondents with the request that he aik the Associ ated Press to take it. Cl. Good year's statement is a model of correctness, and wm De read with interest , He says in the opening lines: ";': "I have been requested by the Board of Health and relief a ssociations of Brunswick to prepare for publication a statement of the conditi ms preceding and since the anhouncem nt of yellow fever, that a generous pub ic may under stand the reason why, wit: 1 comparative ly few cases of yellow fev r to date, the need of help is as urgent, ls imperative, as if this disease was clain ing its victims by scores each day.
