ing “eTi«rThe following particulars
of the robbery we take from the
Augusta Chronicle:
The robbery occurred between
Warrenvllle and Augusta. 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. He
kicked the chest in the hope of at-

A dispatch from Berlin, Germany,
says a startling novel Invention, for
the protection of the German ctfast,
harbors and seaports, Is receiving
the serious attention of the Herman
naval authorities.
A German naval engineer, named
HoITmann, applied to the—German
patent office for a prov+Bienal patent
for ah Invehtfah Which U Intended
to destroy any hostile fleet .attempt
ing to blockade or attack German
ports,.... ... j.__.
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.
When these are In action It Is
claimed that they would exercise suf
ficient attractive force to make iron
clads and other protected vessels
deviate from their course. These
magnet stations are to situated
where shallow and deep water al
ternate.
-The hostile ships would be drawn
into the shallow water where they
would ground and lie helpless at the
mercy of the guns of the forts. y
Although . the invention smacks
strongly of romance, ye» a note
worthy that competent authorities
deem it of sufficient importance to
be subjected to a thorough examina
tion.
In this connecton, it may be Ad
ded that electric cranes capable of
lifting weights of five tons by mag
netism are already in use at German
harbors.

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.

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.

n the senate one day last week
nator Root received one of the
most scathing verbal drubbings ever
delivered In that august body. 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

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.

of the editorials caused a great com
motion, and at tines moved the
member^ to great laughter.
Finally Messrs. Bartlett, of Geor
gia, and Fitzgerald, of New York,
objected to further "lumbering up
the Record," and demanded that the
Speaker rule on the question of priv
ilege. Jn an el;<boraite opinion
Speaker Cannon held that Mr. Hol
lingsworth had not been attacke 1 i’i
his rep resen t-a five capacity, and he
was not permitted to proceed fur
ther. Later Mr. Hollingsworth
sought unanimous consent first to
print a speech on the subject, or
Ise to address the house for thirty
minutes. Mr. Harrison, of New
York, objected, whereupon, Mr. Hol
lingsworth wanted the Speaker to
tell him why the objection was
made.
"The chair cannot tell,” said the
Speaker suavely, "what moved the
gentleman to object, because he la
not a mind reader.”
This* s^Uy convulsed the house
with laughter.
Interest in the proceeding was
h ightened by. the fact that Mr. Har
rison's father, Burton Harrison, was
secretary to Jefferson Davis during
the w'ar.
