Duel With a Deputy.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16.?A score of
r passengers on Western & Atlantic
' "passenger train No. 1 early tonight
^ere relieved of their valuables by a
j masked bandit, who executed a sensational
holdup of occupants of a
chair car as the train neared Atlanta,
r In all the robber is believed to have
ksecured money and jewelry valued at
about $300.
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. C.
|j^ard, who was riding as a passenger.
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. He said he was James
r Nolan, a carpenter, and denied con
nection with tfce holdup. None of the
^ stolen property was recovered from
B hiai and no passenger cculd identify
& fcim as the bandit.
Panic among the passengers of the
chair car was precipitated by the
^^B-obber firing several wild 6hots as he
Centered the vestibule. None of the
tm passengers were injured, except Depm
uty Herrd, who had a slight wound
m in the cheek.
^ The bandit made no attempt to enn
ter the mail or express cars. Indiiridual
losses of passengers in most
fc?ases were small.
The robber, who entered the chair
r, drew a pistol and began to col
St valuables from those in tne car
Bn after the train left the station.

Ki C. C. Heard, an Atlantat deputy.

| FREIGHT WRECK 0> A. C. L.
Engineer and Fireman Hurt in Smash
at Remini?2 Cows on Track,
the Cause.
v ? 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.

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. Navy officers estimate
that in case the vessel's hull
; had not been punctured the men on

?ided upon at a meeting of Coast Line j
iirectorp in this city today. j
The Connecticut company was !
formed in 1889 to hold a controlling
interest in the Atlantic Coast Line rail"'
,-r.o^ ar,3 securities in other companies.
It owns $33,150,000 or more
than half of the Coast Line's $58,745,-!

300 of this ihas been issued. 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,

of the railroad stock in the
Connecticut company's treasury, thus
-eturning control of the railroad to
ts own shareholders.
As Mr. Walters will get back the

He would not make ?ny comment

One of the most prominent druggists
of America made a statement a
'cw weeks ago which has caused a

in tie medical press.
He said. "If the new hair grower, i
tfildredina Hair Remedy, increases its
sales as it has during the past year,
t will be used by nearly every man,
?;oman and child in America within

"When Mildredina Hair Remedy is i
lsed almost universally, dandruff will
lisappear and with its departure baldless,
itching scalp, splitting hair and
ill scalp diseases will follow and 20
rears from now a bald head will be
i rarity." (
There is only one way to cure dand uff,
and that is to till the germs. (

PECULIAR AFTER EFFECTS ^
OF GRIP THIS YEAR. I ?
Leaves Kidneys In Weak Condition.; _
Doctors in all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
of grip which has visite'd so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this
year are often very distressing and
leave the system in a run down con-1
dition, particularly the kidneys which
seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and
urinary troubles which should not be
neglected, as these danger signals
often (lead to dangerous kindey
troubles. Druggists report a large j
sale cn Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
which so many people say soon heals ,
and st^enghtens the kidneys after an
attack of grip. 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.
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingihamton, N. Y.,!
offer to send a sample size bottle of,
Swamp-Root, on r ceipt of ten cents,1
to everv sufferer who reauests it. A I
trial will convince any one who may
be in need of it. Regular size bottle;
