Charles Hughes, of Jackson, Tenn., a passenger, ran out with a Winchester rifle. Ashe stepped to the ground from the smoking car he was shot repeatedly. One ball struck his left arm, and another went through his stomach, inflicting a fatal wound. The death of the young man was very sad, as he was the only support of his widowed mother. He came to Lexington, | Miss., to meet his sister’s family and | his brother, all of whom were on the train and was greatly distressed at ; his untimely death. The robbery was done in the reg- ular highway style. Nine shots were fired by Conductor Wilkinson and Traveling Passenger Agent Roban, three by Hughes wid four or five by the robbers. During the robbery great uneasi- ness was felt by the passengers, who feared for the safety of their valua- bles and lives. It is believed that neither of the men was hit by the shots fired at them from the train. The place of the robbery was an open, tow marsh about fifty yards from the woods. | Both robbers rin eastward and into the swamp.

The wounds were dressed and the young wife restored to con- ines sciousness. Her sufferings, howev- er, were so great that ske was plac- ed under the soothing influence of | opiates, and remained in that condi- tion all Saturday night. Yesterday | the physicians decided that her only chance for life was sustaining the Czeosarian operation. She was told of the danger of the ordeal, but bravely consented. She was then placed under the influence of opiates, and in about half an hour the opera- tion was performed. The physicians state that it was successful, and that the patient is in a very critical state. ASHAMED OF HIMSELF. A Young Man Afraid to Face Mother, Commits Suicide.

The would-be-suicide is a son of wealthy parents in New York. He came here several months ago with a large roll of money which he soon spent in the most riotous dissipa- tion. Then he secured a good pay- ing position as floor-walker in the es- tablishment of L. Wolfson.
