The thieves got the drop on the mes senger, knocked him senseless, tied his hands behind his back, and threw him Into and locked him In a chest. They procured his keys and, at their leiaure, ransacked the car. The messenger was liberated at the Union Station In Augusta. The blow with which he was felled was not severe. He was nearly suffocat ed from his close confinement In the chest. Otherwise he suffered no 111 effects physically. Southern No. 17 makes up at BranchvlUe. It’s connections there are with Columbia and Charleston. It’s express and mail are through. Ordinarily the train, for the South ern Express Company, carries $2,500 to $10,000 of currency. Tuesday night's packages were the smallest In years. As stated, as luck had It, the shipments was not more than ap proximately $200. Thomas L. Hutto has been an ex press messenger four years. He lives at 208 Ellis street. Ho tells a ver; Interesting story of the robbery. Hutto was sitting Idly on a box In his car—a compartment car, embrac ing mall and express service—as the train pulled out from Warrenvllle. The end door of the car—next the baggage car—was thrown suddenly open and a man, his face hidden by a shabby mask of red flannel, pistol extended, ordered "hands up!" Hut to was dated by the suddeness of It all, and made no move. "Hands up, 1 tell you!" was ordered by another voice, and a second man had entered face red-flanneled, pistol extended. Before Hutto could obe/ the rapid and fierce orders, and as he reached for his gun, which was Id u tin box but » foot or so removed from him, “Br received a blow, presumably from the man who had entered the car flrat, and was rendered unconscious. But he regained consciousness in a flash—ho is sure he was uncon scious but a moment When him self again he found his hands grasp ed tightly behind his back. A pistol barrel was pressed hard against his >plnal Ablumn. "Cry out, make any demonstration, and I will pull the trigger!" the robber told him. A package of baby clothing—an ex press shipment—was cut open ami cords taken therefrom, with which the messenger was securely tied-— hands behind back. There was in the car an empty express chest four feet wide, five Let long and three feet deep. The robbers threw the helpless messenger into this chest and clasped It, but did not lock it. They then, having secured his keys, went through the car and safe at tb'-ir leiaure. There Hutto remained until ex press helpers extricated him at the station in Augusta. The negro helpers at the Union Station, when they proceeded to the car, as is customary, to remove the express to the station office, found the door of the car on the right nlde—which was closed—unlocked. The end door was locked. The door on the, left side of the car was open. Entering the car they heard vlgor- 'Oujh talking in Uhe \exprese chest and liberated Hutto, who gave the first Information of the robbery. Conductor J. B. Metx declares that he and no other man on the train had Intimation of any thing wrong until after Hutto had been released. The robbers left the train at Broad street, through the down-town side door of the car—the one found open at the station. f From his chest prison Hutto could hear them plainly rattle sliver. He could hear their voices, but no dis tinctly enough to distinguish what they were saying. He heard one of them call the other "Jim." HU experience on the run enabled him to locate when the train reached the Hamberg yards, when it crossed the bridge and about when It reached Broad. It was then that the hum of conversation ceased and Hutto knew that the men had left the car.

According to tha inventor, stations must be erected along the coast and at the mouths of rivers, whch will be equipped with the strongest elec tric magnets that can be manufac tured.

DEVELOPS HYDROPHOBIA After Having B<>en Bitten by a Dog Two Years. Those people who claim not to believe in hydrophobia will find it hard to explain the following cas , which Is reported from Winston' Sa lem, N. C.: Miss Maude Wlmel, 16 years old, daughter of a Forsyth farmer, who was bitten two years ago by a rabid dog and who for the past two days has been manifesting signs of hydrophobia, was declared Mon day by attending physicians to he suffering from that disease. It is said she can live but a few days. boga*t is Guilty of Murder and Thinks She Is Crazy. The authorities In St. Paul, Minin.,' have the slayer of Louis Arbogast In the hospital ward of the County Jail, but they are uncertain whether mother or daughter did the actual killing. Louise, 23 years of age, tearTsse.TeruBes fo^Talk: “The mother, Mrs. Minnie Arboigast, escaped a direct accusation because The police were able to establish clrcusstantlal evidelce that makes It Impossible to prove the charge. She escaped formal accusation because the police forced her to accuse someone else In self-defense. She accused Louise. The body of Louis Arbogast was found In his bed, last week. The head had been crushed'with an axe and gasoline was used In an effort to destroy the remAins. When the accusing officers got the daughter and mother together In the moth er's cell the girl withstood the bat tery of searching ey^s -and maintain ed her absolute Innocence. Finally the mother, In an outburst of des perate appeal, cried: "Louise, It Is either you or me. Tell the truth, tell the truth. You were outside father’s door when I came from the bathroom. Yo^ must tell the truth.” The girl was silent. The mother persisted. She almost shouted, "You say you didn't do It, but I know you did.” But Louise professed to remember nothing and stared straight ahead in silence until the terrific strain was broken by their sob and the two embraced, weeping bitterly, the girl kneeling by her mother’s bedside. The girl was arraigned In court and listened to the reading of the charge. She said she needed no at torney. A plea of not guilty was entered, and the prisioner taken to jail, the case being continued till Thursday. It is declared at St. Luke’s hospital that Miss Arbogast, who Is one of the most beautiful young wo men of Minnesota Is Irresponsible and killed her CAther In a moment of demoniacial frenzy, caused by hallucinations which have for months been pursuing her. “She is plainly irresponsible,” Chief of Police O'Connor said: "According to hospital reports and other facts known to ns," said County Attorney O’Brien. “The girl Is Insane and was not responsible for her action." The story of the mother, the ac cusing story which brought Louise Arbogast to the bar, bears out the statements of the authorities as to the girl’s mental gondltlon. The very nature of the act, indeed, indl- cat"d maniacial frenzy, the cunning ness of some of her alleged attempts to cover up the slaying Is declared to establish the fact, and the asserted ineonsistenokto of her statements after the slaying are said to have been the lapse of cunning due to slip of Judgment, rommon to crimes committed by the ina&ne.

His Proposition to Tax All the People for One Man. MURDERED BY HER HUSBAND. Creeps Into Wife’s Room and Cuts Her Throat. At Atlanta, Ga., Mrs. George Burge waa murdered early Monday by a man who crept to the side of her bed while she slept and cut her throat with a razor. Her husband is under arrest charged with, the killing. A remarkable feature of the case is that the slayer, after killing the woman, picked up her 13-months- old baby from its cradle and fervent ly kistod it before running from the room. It is alleged that Burge, who had separated frofn his wife, threat ened her with violence If she did not give him custody of her baby. Three other children of .Mrs. Burge—all step-children of Burge— were asleep in the room at the time. Frank Britton, the eldest of these, was slightly cut by his mother's slayer, whom he claims he recogniz ed as his step-father. Burge was arrested at his boarding house. The police claimed that he had blood on his shirt sleeve, but he said it was merely dirt. He said that he could prove an alibi. DECOHATE SUICIDES’ GRAVES. Buried in Mine.

He brought It down on his head by a defense of Chairman Aldrich and his Finance Committee, which had been assailed by La Pollette, who complain d that he had difficulty dn obtaining from the committee in formation to guide him in his course on the tariff bill. When LaFolette had concluded Root, who although in the Senate less than six weeks, has tried to ride over older members of the body, began a general lecture k»f their tariff conduct. He said he did not care to hear defamation. He thought it undignified and dishon orable to get up and make speeches merely to make votes at home, know ing that no one here was listening. It was tiresome to him. "I, too, have listened,” he contin ued, attempting to raise his voiqe to an oratorial pitch, "to the vituper ation heaped upon the chairman of the finance committee. It is utterly disgusting.” Two minutes later he regretted that he had si>oken. Senator Money ambled into the chamber as Root was finishing. "I substfl>e lo every word of praise given to that little cherub, Mr. Aldrich," Senator Money began. "I like his angelic face and I believe in his divine inspiration. Not one man of us on this side so far as I know, thinks of him other than a gentleman. “But let me say to the Senator from New Ybrk that we do not care so much for his advice as he seems to think It necessary to give. We have not asked for it; we do not care for it; we spurn it after it is given. He is not yet warm in his seat before he begins to tell me and the other senators whose serv ices have been long In this body what we should do. To be sure, he Is a distinguished man. We all know it. The Republican press has said so. He himself does not de ny It.” By this time Root, sitting twenty feet away, had hiq^face buried in his hands. Senator Depew hurried to his side as if to console him. By some sort df telepathy he seemed to know the worst was yet to come. It was. "For generations this body*.”.went on Money, "has gone about the bus iness of the nation in its own pecu liar and yet simple way. We, the senators coming from their States elected by the will of their people temphasizing ‘the will,’ and inferr ing that Root had been elected by one man only), have tried in our humblest way to settle our differenc es in a way becoming to senators of a mighty r public. I have discussed situations and have delivered speech es which 1 shall continue to do be cause my countrymen sent me here to do so. "Yet this senator—never before having served .n a legislative body —within the first few days of his existance here, attempts to tell me how 1 shall proceed with my work. "The distinguished and very learn ed attorney from New England might well go back to his* home State and. like Rip Van Winkle, proceed to the Catskills and sleep for twenty years, and if he should come hack he- would know more then than apparently he knows at this n*onvont,’’ con cluded tire Mississippian. "And he won’t he missed, mean time,’’ said Tillman. Root sat like a chastised child. But his punishment was not fin ished. LaFolette rose as Money ast do#n and said: "I have never been a corporation attorney, never attempted to pro tect questionable concerns. But I wish to say here that I shall speak on whatever subject and object to whatever tax proposed in this body without consulting the Senator from New York. I care nothing for his advice; I do care for the good will of the people who sent me here.” The tea ‘ industry • of the TTfiTToff States came up for a little discus sion In the senate a day or two ago, says Zach McGhee in his letter to The state. Dr. Shepherd of Sum merville, you know, is the tea in dustry. _M£ha8-_ftlek farm upon which he growa 15,000 pounds of tea. Senator Tillmani in order to show. thfi abaurdity. of_the protection system, Interrupted isome Republi can speaker and said; "Now just wait one minute—and as it la acknowledged by the senator that we could obtain $10,000,000 by a duty of 10 cents a pound on tea, and It would not increase the cost of lea at all—so these importers tell me—why do we not pick up-that $10,000,000 and give protection to this industry down in South Caroli na, where there is one tea producer? There is a poor little pulling infant industry jont In !the piney woods at Summerville, begging the United States for help, and saying if tea can get a protection of 10 cents a pound it will be the pioneer in in troducing Into that Southern country a great industry.” Mr. Hale—Let me say to the sena tor—■ Mr. THlman—Will the senator vote for it, or will he have this com mittee- report it favorably? I want to introduce the amendment. Now, I will join you. 1 want protection for that pulling infant in South Car olina—the tea Industry—and we shall get $10,000,000 by it, too. W hy not give me protection for this industry in South Carolina? Mr. Tillman—I have got a real industry. One man down there pro duces 15,000 pounds of tea. Mr. Hale—If that can become a prosperous and leading contributor to the industries of the United States as against foreign competition— never so dangerous as now and as it will be in the next 30 years—then the Republican party will adopt his bantling. I have no doubt of it. Mr. Tillman—T can only assure you that this gentleman, Dr. Shep herd, who has been experimenting with tea culture for 20 years, has reached that point where, like all the others in this country w r ho are seeking to increase their profits, wants enough protection to increase his price. He knows that as soon as he would get 10 cents per i>ound additional, it would raise the value of his tea. Some of us people in South. Car olina have an idea that we of the South are great tea drinkers. That's because we do not really know much about the general run of people about us. Those of us who can trace our ancestry back to England or English immigrants, and do ft with out the assistance of a professional genealogist or eeat of arms manu facturer, usually drink tea. Many others of us who, while we can not trace our own families back, have been associated with those who can. al^o drink ua. But hear what Senator McLaurin of Mississippi says; "What do you pay for tea now?” asked Senator Hale. "I don't pay anything." said Mr. McLaurin. "i don't buy tea; I buy coffee. We don't use tea very much in our part of the country.” And that's a fact, true not only of Mississippi, but of the South gen erally. I have an idea that it is true to a larger extent of the whole country, to even of New England than is commonly supposed. But your Lodges, your Hales, your Cranes, Aldrichcs, Fryes and so on do not know it. They b long to the tea drinking class, and know little about the lives of the great mass of people in their States. If Dr. Shepherd lived in New England, what Senator Hale says might be true, they might let him enjoy the special privilege of as sessing all the tea drinkers in Amer ica in order that he might make a profit. But since he lives in South Carolina and most of the tea drinkers are in New England, there is no chance for him. LEAPS FROM TRAIN. Prisoner Makes Desperate Effort to Escape.
