The bandit entered the train at Yinings, Ga., ten miles west of Atlanta, and left it at Bolton, three miles nearer, after he had engaged in ? fcistol battle with Deputy Sheriff C.

Hknan said to slightly conform to Hre robber's description as given by ^^Kxissengers was arrested at Bolton E& several hours later and brought here Jate tonight.

Sumter, Jan. 15.?A through southboud freight train, extra No. 403, from r Florence to Augusta, was wrecked at Rimini between midnight and '2 o'clock t~is morning, and Jtngmc-er Capell, of F.orence, and his colored fireman, Henry Serious, were painfull, ' hut probably not seriously injured. The wreck occurred at the north swiich of tue station and was caused by two cows being on the track, the animals not being seen until the engine was too close to stop, p The engine was derailed and overr turned, with cab and tender, and the fescape of the fireman and engineer B with tneif lives is considered little ^ short of miraculous. The engineer was scalded on the lee:, one eye was badly bunged up and be was badly bruised k about the head and face. The fireman sustained a lick on tfte head, one arm I -was painfully bruised and he complained of a wrenched back. Both men were given surgical aid by Drs. Archie I China and S. C. Baker, who were sent * out from here on a special train made ^ up about 31 o'clock this morning. They were later brought here but later |& taken to their homes in Florence. No others were injured. The train was in j charge of Conductor McClenaghan, of W Florence. I T>id wrAPlrinsr train was cpnt nut from Florence shortly after the accitdent reported and passed through fciere about 4 o'clock on its way to the Rcene of fee wreck with a crew who were sent to work clearing away the f wreckage and repairing the track, which was torn up for a distance of about 200 feet. Eleven cars were derailed with the engine, several of them being barlly smashed up and their contents scattered all around. i m TRAPPED IN BOAT. Wj British Submarine's Crew at the Bot ton.?May Still be Alive. Plymouth, Eng., Jan. 16.?Two of( ficers and nii^e men, comprising the crew of the ''British submarine A-7, |^are trapped tonight in their craft bequeath the waters of White Sand bay, ve miles southwest of Plymouth. Thether the men are dead or alive WkiR not been established, but navv of ^Tdals here tonight expressed the opinion that all had perished. The exact spot "where the little vessel sank could not be definitely fixed. The A-7, in company with the A-8 and A-9, made a plunge about noon today while engaged in manoeuvres. Her sister ships came to the surface ' at the end of tflie manoeuvre*, but Tm 9m ft Vm A& 0m, I .- it opened her valves and div< .!. At Jir-r it was believed the A-7 merely , va< overstaying her allotted time be, neath the water, but when officers I realized their sister boat was in distress they sent out signals for aid. Rescue boats which were rushed to : vieinitv where the A-7 went down. ! " i j throw out grappling irons and dragged the bay* all afternoon and until j darkness set in. Their efforts were! i fruitless, for never once was there a , . | tug at a chain to indicate that the i iron sides of the plunger had been struck. The grappling operations will be resumed at daylight tomorrow and in j i the hope that the submarine will be ' : found, a boat capable of lifting her to ! the top of the water has been ordered | to White Sand bay. The A-7 was in charge of Lieut. i Gilbert M. W^lborn, who has as an aide another officer. A number of the ! seamen aboard were making their l , i first trip in a submarine. | The cause of the accident is not i known. Whether the submarine's machinery became disabled or wheth. er she tore a hole in horself is the merest speculation.

It owns $33,150,000 or more than half of the Coast Line's $58,745,-! ">00 of stocks and other securities, j mostly bonds, of a market value of MS,880.000.

This stock never has been widely distributed and it is understood virtually all of the shares are held by Henry Walters, chairman of the Atlantic Coast Line road. The stockholders shortly will be called -together to approve a proposal :hat half of the Coast Line company stock, "or $8,820,000, be extinguished j 3y the return to holders of twice that imount of Coast Line railroad shares, )r $17,640,000. This will leave $15,510,000 of the railroad stock in the Connecticut company's treasury, thus -eturning control of the railroad to ts own shareholders.

Swamp-Root is a great kidney liver and bladder remedy, and, i being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, j which is almost immediately noticed ?n most cases by those who try it.
