The most daring highway robbery tor J
qver perpetrated in this city occurred tweii
in upper King street shortly after dusk of M
Wednesday evening. The facts in the have
case wore known to The News and perse
Courier immediately after the occur- at thi
reuce, but they were not published bo- Senal
lore at the earnest solicitation of the Tu
chief of police and the oflleera of the alive
detective foroe, who feared that their Georj
publication would militate against the the L
chances of catching the culprits. The atiou
robbery was done at a time when the fered
street was brilliantly lighted and when in fa\
it thronged with peoplo, and from the tion.
highwayman's standpoint it was a most till 1
successful bit of work. Mr. W. G. (Dem
Mazyck and a colored portor named ate in
Jake Williman were the immediate A
victims of the outrage, but the money of Ca
that was stolen belonged to the South Canal
Carolina and Georgia Railroad Com- for tb
pauy. endar
Mr. Mazyck, who is paymaster of tho twent
company, had been on tho road on Scnat
Wednesday paying olT tho employers to the
of the company. He had with him, as Coffin
usual, a large amount of mouey. Very Gonei
fortunately ho had paid out almostali the w
of it. YY lulo returning to his ofllce ut lth od
the corner* of King and Ann stroets, Genei
accompanied by the railroad porter, Bos
Jake, lie was set upon by two negro ing a
highwaymen just in front of Hacker's mont
alley in King street. The highway- Capit*
men fired a pistol full in the face of but o<
Mr. Mazyck and Jake, and having the s
snatched the hag of silver out of Jake's whiel
hands made their escapo through The i
Hacker's alley. They were pursued uients
by Mr. Mazyck, Jake and a policeman, fact tl
but they made their escape into the been
northwestern part of the eity. The posed
police department has been working busint
on the caso indefatigably, but up to The
the present time they have uot been in aba
able to catch the men. though Chief and c
Martin thinks ho will have them near 1
shortly. River
The story of the robbery as told by the pi
Mr. Mazj'ck himself is as follows. He no ch
says: "1 had been over the road pay- gard t
ing otT the employees. I left the pay
car just above the Line street station Til
and came down King street, accompanied
by our porter, Jake. lie had the Cliair
pay rolls under his arm and in one ?lit
hand a bag containing three hundred
and fifty dollars in silver coin and Hen
nickels. 1 had an ordinary hand t'olum
sutchel in one hand and a cash box in Botl
the other. When we arrived at a in Sou
point opposite Hacker's alloy, on the and d
east side of King street, two men up- depen
proaehed from the rear rapidly. They call fo
eame out of the alley, which was all a big
tbo more darker because of the glare delegi
of the electric light in the street. One convei
of tliein thrust a pistol into my very minist
faco and tired. I turned quickly, ex- tion, ?
pec ting to see that Jake had been public
wounded. Ho turned towards me. faetioi
thinking I must have been hit. Just circuit
then I saw two black hands grab the countj
bag Jake was holding, and the next which
instant tho highwaymen darted into the ne
tbe alley. We gave chase at once, ae- Stat
companied by a policeman who had ing ai
been attracted to the scene by the dis- Kepul
turbance. Wo ran to the eastern end see w
of the alley where it opens out on our of th
railroad tracks. The policeman, who good i
had outrun us, followed the robbers lie em
into an alley just opposite. Jake and of th
myself ran to the crossing at Woolfo throuj
street below. The street was bril- plan,
liantly lighted and no one was in sight. The
Wo hastened to tho ollice and locked of tho
up tbe eash box and the pay rolls in gettin
the safe, and then with as little delay as int
as possible we reported tho whole mat- side,
tor at police headquarters." j month

they hope to catch tho men who com- | To th<

Mr. Mayzok has been in tho employ tratio
of the South Carolina road for a gn at ut tlx
many years, and through all of its tratio
managements he has always been re- (>n th
garded as one of the most etllcient olli- ! April,

Washington, January 25.?In round
imburs livo inillious of gold was
Indrawn from the treasury this
jming, making quite sixty millions
jco the last bond issue. The gold
nerve hy night will bo not much
or fifty live millions, and if this raid
utinues another week, bonds are

II be larger and it is feared so low

There seems to be no escape from ~
nds. The present law tied the treasy
in a hard knot, which no living 'J
in, or set of men can untie without 1
jaking theui. These laws were all ?n
iced upon the statute book by lie- *
blieans, yet a Democratic Congress !
uses to removo them, even with the
'nest and patriotic insistauce of a V'?
mocratic President. But apart
>m tho responsibility which attaches lc
political parties tho situation is ^Ci
ious enough to excite the alarm of ?
n who are usually conservative. J51*1

Miis sudden turn of atTairs is causing l)r
s President to again consider his Kn
icial message to Congress. It is 18
iply a question of expediency witli
ii, a question of whether harm or tla
>d will result from it. The gold re- '
ve is lower than it has been since no
i fatal August 7th, last summer, and j
lething must bo done immediately

The first quo-lion with a tramp is
lere to lino the best place in a city

"I wonder how it is that all tin
imps who come to Columbia come to

who lives on Suintor-ticct. of a
gister reporter. "1 notice thai

"Are you kind to them and do \ u

e reporter inquired.
" Ves." the Kent Ionian answered. " I

" Well, what you say exp'uins why
e tramps visits you so often," the rerter
replied, "ami now I will tell
u something. The tramps of the

t a regularly organized concern, hut

sees and interprets the sign and pusses
! along without molesting the house.
All other trumps do the same tiling
I und so it goes. If a tramp goes to a
i house and is treated nicely he puts a
j peculiar sign or mark on the fence signifying
that everything is all right in
that household. The next tramp sees
the si^n and does not hesitate to visit
the In Uie and ask for something to
! eal. I a tramp goes to a house where
I there i& a bad dog which chases him
out of the yard he invariably leaves a
jsigii behind to warn all brother tramps
I to lookout and not to take in that
place.
" Now, you see why some people are
always bothered with tramps and why
| others eseape. It a business with
! tramps.aud unless they had somo code
of tins kind lots of tliein would get into
trouble. If you will look carefully
around /our place you will see somo of
the signs of'tlic order."
The gentleman to whom the reporter
was talking was a littlo dubious of
what bo heard, but a few days afterwards
wheu be was visited by a half
dozen tramps in one day, he asked uno
j of them how it was that so many wont
to his house. The trumps answered: _ _
1 " We know that you are good and that
! we can get something to eat here."
" How do you know it?" the gentle1
man asked.
" We have plans of knowing," the
j trump cautiously answered. v
The gentleman afterward told the
j reporter that in looking around his
I premises i.e had discovered peculiar
j marks cut with a knife on his fence.
Tin-re is u liberal hour ted Catholic
"u Columbia who never turns a tramp
from his doer without giving him
sum-thing. Around his house there
are funny signs. A curious fact is that
all the tramps, no mutter if they have
just gotten |in town, know that he is a
Catholic. The signs tell them so and
enable theiu to approach him with
more chance of success in getting what
they want.
The person who dooa not believe
the tramp fraternity has a code of
signs telling thorn all they want to -j
know has only to mako an investiga- v v
tion QrfVown account or get hold of >
some talkative knight of the box car N
and ask him for the truth. If lie is
given a square meal and made to feel
i good he will own up and will talk of
that and many other things.
