Bitten by Dog.
On Christmas morning as Capt.
D. E Penny, the popular conductor
of the Lancaster & Chester Railway,
was leaving Chester, he was bit in
the calf of the leg by a dog. which
had gotton on the train. Captain
Penny found the dog on the train
after he had pulled out of the depot,
but after inquiry could find no one
who claimed ownership of the animal.
He accordingly took the
canine into the baggage coach and
while playing with it the dog snapped
at his leg. one of the teeth going
into the flesh. The wound being
slight, he would not have been concerned
about it, but having put the
animal off at Fort Lawn, some one
suspected the animal might be mad
and killed it. This excited the captain's
fears, so he concluded to
send the head of the dog to Columbia
to have it examined by the expert
on hydrophobia. Captain
Penny was very much relieved a
few days aferwnrds when informed
usit the examination disclosed no
evidence of rabies.

I caves H?e enitcntiury to Become
Federal Prisoner.
A yeggman, Charles O'Day, alias
Charley Cross, alias "Missouri
Charley," was among the convicts
paroled yesterday by the governor.
The parole was issued upon condition
that the federal authorities take
change of O'Day when he left the
penitentiary. The yaggman was
charged with robbing a postoffice at
Cordonsvtlle, Va. He was arrested
yesterday afternoon, as he came out
of the state prison, by William
Cooper, United States deputy marshal,
and Detectives Shorter and
I Ford of the Columbia police force.
OT.uy was taken before R. Beverley
Ctnnn ITnUo/1 Otoioo '
I >-ivu?i( v/iiivcu UlUICO VUUIIUIU9IUI1C1 ,
who held him under $3,000 bond
pending a preliminary hearing on
January 4. lie is now in the city
jail.
O'Day is not nearly so notorious
5is some of the sr.fo-blowers that ,
have been confined in the state pen- I
itentiary. He was decidedly a less- j
er light among safe-crackers in
I comparison to "Portland Ned" sind ,
"Oakland Sammy,' two other yeggs
| paroled by the governor.
Charles O'lhiy operated with John
I Fischer, the yeggman who made 51
spectacular escape from the stale
penitentiary last winter. Fischer1
drilled through the steel bars of his
cell and got over the wall by knot- !
ting his blankets into a rope, I
He dived into the canal and has not 1
been seen since.
O'Day was arrested with Fiseher
on April 8. 1905, at Lylesvllle, N.
C. Both of them were shot then by
officers. O'Day through the abdomen
and Fischer in the leg. They
were wanted on the charge of blowing
a safe In a store at Heath
Springs on April 1, 1905. The yeggmen
were tried at the October,
1905, term of court in Lancaster
and found guilty. Judge Buchanan
gave each of them a sentence of 15
years in the penitentiary.

Social News
A Christmas party Riven as a
surprise to her music class was the
merry gathering at which Miss Eliza
Wylie entertained last Thursday afternoon.
The girls had been asked
to come and take part in a little
recital, in which each pupil was
{ invited to play for the pleasure of
the others. When each had rendered
a piano selection, a contest, involving
musical terms furnished
further entertainment. Each guest
cut for the prize, a game of musical I
authors, which went to Miss Ethel
Cauthen. Then the dining room
doors wore opened and the children
found their places at the table,
which had for a centerpiece a miniature
grand piano, around which
was a wreath of holly. The table was
laid with cluny mats and lighted
l.y candles with filagree shades, in
which gleaned holly leaves and
berries. Two courses of refresh- j
meats were served, and each child
carr'ed away as a souvenir of th 4 J
party a tiny piano filled with home-]
made candy. Those present were:
Misses Mary Heath Jones, Ethel I
Perry. Mary Woodley, Ethel Can- I
then, Jennie Lee Slierard, Laura i
Gilbert Williams, Elizabeth With- .
erspoon, Eliza, Louise and Mary '
Cildersleeve Wylie.

Lieut C. M. McMurray, son of Mr.
W. H. P. McMurray of this county, a
graduate of the Citadel Academy,
and now in the United States army,
has left for Manila. We take the
following In reference to him from
the Waxhaw correspondence of The
Monroe Journal
"Lieut, and Mrs. C. M. McMurrav
of Fort McPherson, Atalanta, are
visiting the former's grandmother.
Mrs. M. J. McCain. Lieutenant McMurrny
spent the summer In Texas j
guarding the Mexican frontier and i
is very conversant with the Mexican ,
situation. lie thinks it will be a |
long time before the restoration of
peace in that country. Lietenmit
! McMurray has been transferred to
Manila and he and Mrs. McMurray
and their three-year-old daughter
will leave here Christmas night on a
trip to the other side of the planet."
