fc'acts Showing Searcey to Be One of
the Robbers idradnaliy Develop
ing The Lottery Tickets to
Become Valuable Evidence
The Prisoner Uneasy
Some Things He Can
Not Well Explain.
UUMBERLAI?D, Xtlu,, Oct. 18. Up to
11:15 this morning there are no new de
velopments in. the train robbery case
Searcey still holds out that heisinno
cent, while the Adams Express company
omciais are certain that he is the man
that they are looting for.
A writ of habeas corpus has been
i3sued and set for hearing at 4 o'clock
this afternoon before Judges Boyd and
Hoffman of the Circuit court.
bearcey is ' non-communicative. He
has located himself at Memphis and
at Roanoke, Va. j Despatches from both
those places say that inquiry there has
failed of results
The habeas corpus hearing in the case
or bearcey, set for this afternoon, has
been postponed tmtil Saturday, to give
the requisition papers time to arrive.
Searcey is a verv nervous man fav
night. Since he has been taken back to the
county jail from (the court room to-day
his face has worn a troubled look and he
has paced the corridor restlesslv with a.
lighted cigar always in his mouth. When
approacned Dy ) United Fress reporter
ro-nigni ne was inclined to be gruff and
nun uumuiuaiuauTe, u s no square
ueai, tsaia, "locKing me up here for
nothing." This observation he supple
mented quickly by asking if thev had
caught any of the craner of the rnhhors
auu nis mma seemed trouDled by an
anxiety to know just what, the news
papers had to say about him. In reply
to questions he said: -
I was for some! time a cattle dfialfirin
Roanoke, Va., but. business got bad and
i went DacK to my trade as a carpenter.
For a while I worked at Harrr's Ferrv
and after lea ving traveled about that
section of the countrv dointr odd iobs.'
in my possession is
it honestly, working,
at my trade as a car
penter. About that ring I pawned in
"Washington on September 27th, well I
tell you, I bought that ring for almost
nothing and I pawned it for a $1.50 and
quit ahead of the game."
When asked where he was on thenisrht
of the train robbery at Quantico. he
replied: I
I was in the neighborhood of Shen
andoah Junction, 1 don't know exactly
how far from that place, but I know I
walked there the next morning."
oearcey also pawned a watch and
other valuables in Washington from
which he realized $17. When asked
where he got these articles and the two
watches found in his grip when arrested,
his reply was confused and unsatisfac
tory, consisting, as it did," of merely
these words: -ihat s my business."
Just why Searcey! should travel about
the county walking many miles, as he
claims, with $1,050 in his possession, is a
question the detectives say that may
give mm some troupie to explain,

Another point th. detectives claim to
have against him is an incident at Shen
andoah Junction last Sunday night.
Searcey arrived S-t Mrs. Moore's hotel in
that place very latei at night. He was
told there were no empty rooms, but
that he could double up with a stranger
who had arrived ' ah hour or so before.
Searcey willingly agreed. In the ( morn
ing Searcey and his j room mate went' to
the depot together.) Searcey bought a
ticket for Cincinnati. The other man
bought a ticket for Cumberland. On the
train the twd men! exchanged tickets.
Searcey's friend went on through to the
West and Searcey j himself got off at
Cumberland. This, !tKe detectives claim,
was a dodge to put would-be pursuers
off the track, for Sejarcey is a tall, well
built man and his companion was a short
stocky individual. Pursuers would look
for the short man In Cumberland and
the tall one would be sought after in
Cincinnati; hence thje exchange of . tick
ets. - v.---:-.'. I -...'.
Adams Express Messenger Crutchfield
said to-night that he. could not positively
identify Searcey as one of the gang. It
was dark all the time of the robbery and
all was confusion, but he is positive that
some of the clothing found in Searcey's
satchel is the same worn by one of the
robbers.
The impression prevails here very gen
erally that Searcey is really one $f the
muchneeded tram robbers and that by
Saturday his guilt will be proven conclu
sively. .- I
The batch of Honduras Lottery tickets
found in Searcey's possession is the staff
upon which the detectives and the ex
press people are leaning. They have tel
egraphed for a list of the numbers upon
the tickets which were carried on the
looted train. If these numbers corre
spond with the tickets in Searcey's posses
sion at the time of 1 his arrest, then his
case will be very serious.
All til?se questions will be settled Sat
urday afternoon hen Searcey will
again' be brought before the court on
habeas corpus proceedings.
The Czar Worse.

Czar has perceptibly changed for the
worse. His symptoms of general debility
and weakness of the heart are more pro

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 18. The special
train bearing Sheriff Cook and Deputy
Sheriff Bostwick, of Fayette county, with
the negro rapist prisoner, Wm. Dolby
alias Jamesper, in custody, arrived here
7 o'clock this morning. The train bore
also six companies of the Fourteenth reg
imentall local companies the remain
der of the troops being left at Washing
ton Court House. The train was stopped
near the State prison and the sheriff and
his deputy, with the prisoner in custody
walked hurriedly, unguarded, to the
main entrance and in a ; few moments
Dolby was behind the great stone walls
of the penitentiary where he will spend
the next twenty years of his life at hard
labor. Quite a large crowd had collected
at the central station to see the prisoner.
and were disappointed to see only soldiers
when the tram drew in. xne crowd was
a curious "one only, however, and no viof
lence to the prisoner would have been at
tempted if he had been brought to the
union station in the train. The trip
from Washington Cour,t.House was with

The mob was easily controlled when
the reinforcements of militia arrived at
Washington Court House at 8:30 o'clock
a. m. They gathered in little knots, but
offered no resistance. The prisoner was
at once taken from the jail and placed
upon the train and the journey here was
begun. Col. Coit did not order the car
tridges taken from the rifles until a coal
chute two miles north of Washington
Court House was passed, as there Sheriff
Cook feared an attack on the train might
be made, but the train was not mo-
asted, a "-, -Governor

Chicago, Oct. 18 There was a big
line of ' calls" that prevented wheat
prices from .holding the entire gain they
made curing-mo days session, the sell
ing against those privileges being most
active during? the closing hfteen minutes
trading. There was decidedly a better
tone to the market i?)rday than has been
felt in some time and the bulls were in
clined to pluck up courage and buy.
DfcCUHoer wheat opened at pic, sold be
tween 53c and 52fc, closing at52c, i
higher than yesterday. Gash wheat was
strong and Je higher than yesterday.
There was not enough business in corn
to permit of a very wide range to prices.
The disposition to jfollow wheat, how
ever, was well defined. The news was
of the routine order. Sympathy with
the final easy tone of wheat carried
prices a shade under yesterday's last quo
tations, where they closed. May opened
from 49i to 49f c, sold between 49f and
49 Jc, closing at the latter.

easier tone- to-day, produce showing a
similiar one. The estimated run for to
morrow was heavy and dampened any
buying desire in the provision market,
which otherwise would have undoubtedly

of business was noticeable, and, more
than anything else, contributed to the
indisposition of prices tomove in either
direction. The close was 7jc lower than
yesterday for January pork, 5c lower for
January lard, and 2 to Uc for January
ribs. i .

crushing effects of large receipts at the
ports and interior towns. The South had
a selling fever, and, of course, this fact
accelerated the decline. Late in the day
there was some buying by Southern oper
ators, who believe ; that prices are low
enough, and also by some local operators
for short account. Nevertheless prices
ended at about the lowest figures of the
day. The Southern markets were in
many cases lower, and though Liverpool

Fall River, Mass., Oct 18. Contrary
io ine expectauons of the manufacturer.
and much to the surprise of the public in
general, the striking weavers continue to
manifest a decided opposition to resum
ing work under the ternis offered some
weeks ago. Though there are hardly
30,000 out of 56,000 looms in operation,
the idleness seems to run in streaks. In tjbe

The Tecumseh and the Richard Borden

part of the city the Bourne mills are run

while at the Shove mill situated hardly
500 yards distant, only a third of th
loom? are running. The Conanicut milT
is practically shut down, the Osborn No.
1 has only about thirty-five rooms
at work, while Osborn No. 2 is shut
down andfthe Slade mill shows a gain.
The Sing Phihb is runninar about 1 snn
looms. This is the concern where a
strike! was in progress for twenty weeks
before the vacation was ordered. A great
many of the strikers returned, but a large
proportion left the citv and thev are not
expected to return until a more settled
condition exists. The manufacturers
are at a loss to account for the erratic
actions of the weavers. In some cases
the mills paying the lowest watres and
operating the poorest looms are the ones
in which the weavers rush into their old
places. The Hargraves mill is partically
idle, despite the well known fact that the
wages tnere average iu per cent, higher
than in mill No. 1. To-morrow the
strikers will march to the eastern part
of the city headed hy a brass band and
will endeavor if possible to induce a
further resistance amons: the' weavers
