He came in the guise of a
? o*"' vwraa OSt
uronam auu nw IVW<TW w
but afterwards he turned out to be
a beat, so Van Wyck people have
been on the lookout and tonight they
captured five suspicious characters
'U who were c?nping in the woods
near by. ' :
It was found that four out of the
five carried pistols with abundant
supplies of cartridges and their grips
contained burglar's tools, nitroglycerine,
laundry soap, etc.
' The gang is being closely guarded
until advices can be had from the
nearest postoffice inspector as it is
practically certain these are part of
the gang wanted by the postal
authorities.

Heavy dale Hits Havana,
Havana, Jan. 12.?A heavy northwest
gale to-day drove high seas
against the ocean frofit, sweeping
over the Malecon sea wall and inundating
the lower part of the Prado
and adjacent streets to the depth of
several feet. The lower section of
Vedado* a suburb, was also inundated.
A fireman, while engaged in
rescuing persons from flooded houses
inVedado fell into the water and
, v was drowned. Much damage was
done to the Hotel Maimaro and
scores of residences on Gulf avenue,
the lower floors of which were submerged.
Entrance to or exit from

gales.
Wavpa strikirjc Moro hurled the
spray sixty feet over the lantern of
the light house. The storm is subsiding
to-night.
Declare Night Riders Criminals.
Henderson, Ky., Jan. 11.?Resolutions
declaring the night riders,
who have been terrorizing the tobacco
region, criminals were adopted
here by the American Society of
Equity. The resolutions further
stated that there was r.o foundation
for Governor Wilson's statement
; i that the society was responsible for
the recent raids. The meeting appealed
to the State legislature for
laws forbidding the use of paris
green or any other poison on to5
bacco.

Youth Accidentally Killed.
Lancaster, Jan. %?A sad tragedy
occurred near here this afternoon.
While out hunting Master Crawford
Bell was accidentally shot and instantly
killed. There were several
rumors, but the one which seems to
be verified is that Bell was showing
his two companions who were along
with him a trick which he had just
learned and shot himself.
He is a son of Policeman H. W. Bell.
Another accident, which came near
being serious, occurred in the city a
day or so ago. Miss Charlotte Jones
was shooting an air rifle when it
suddenly went off and she was shot
in the eye. The wound is not serious,
but Miss Jones had a very narrow
escape from death.
Anna Gould Will Stay In America.
f
Paris, Jan. 13?Mme. Anna Gould
told a friend today she soon would
sell all her property in France and
fix her permanent residence in
America.
"This will put an end forever, I
hope, to untrue reports attributing
to my marriage which has never entered
my mind," said Mme. Gould
to her friend. "While in the United
States," she went on to say, "I shall
devote my life to the education of
my children." * /
Although under the ruling of the
French court Mme. Gould cannot
take her children outside of France
without the consent of her former
husband, Count Boni de Castellane,
she is quite confident she could make
an arrangement with the count by
which she will be able to take her
children to America.
Accident in Auto Race.
Houston, Jan. 12.?In an endurance
race in which 16 automobiles
participated, over country roads
covering 112 miles, an accident occurred
on the final round today in
which John Trentem, sporting editor
of the Houston Post, was killed by a
collision with a street car. Brown
Botts was injured internally and Ray
Weiss, general sales agent of a
lumber company, was badly injured.
Trentem was in a car which had lost
a tire: The wheel without' a tire
caught on a street car track and the
automobile was thrown against an
oncoming car. Trentem was instantly
killed.' The others were injured
by the car turning over.
Our New ^School Building.' 1
The board of trustees of the Bamberg
graded school was in session
yesterday, receiving bids from
various, contractors for the rebuilding'of
our graded school. Several
bids were presented, and there was
a great difference in the figures submitted.
The opening of bids showed
the trustees that they did not have
money enough to replace the building,
so thdy have called for a mass
meeting of the taxpayers of the district
to be held at the courthouse on
Monday, the 27th instant, for the
purpose of devising ways and means
to raise sufficient funds. The former
buildincr was insured for $7,500,
which has'all been paid, but the lowest
bid submitted was over $8,000,
and this too without heating or furniture.
Attend the meeting and vote
to raise eiiough money in' sortie
practical way to give ijs a first-class
building.
A Clever Youngster.
A broker told a story to illustrate
the kind of speculation that is going
on at present. He related that a
young school boy brought home a
flattering report from his teacher,
and his father promised him a dollar
should the next report be equally
as good. It was even better. On receiving
the dollar, the boy went out
and did hot return for more than
two hours. When his father asked
him what he had bought, the reply
came: ' 1 have not bought anything;
I spent all the afternoon changing
my money first into dimes, then into
nickels, and then into pennies; then
back into nickels and dimes and quarters.'J
"What did you do that for?"
asked the father. "Well, I thought
somebody might make a mistake and
give me too much change." The
professionals are exchanging stocks
among themselves in the hope that
some outsider will be allured into
making a mistake.

New York, Jan. 12.?A block of
five tenement buildings extending
from Ninety-third to Ninety-fourth
street, on First avenue, and which
has been remodeled for factory purposes
and were occupied by a half
dozen enterprises were burned early
today, causing a loss of about $500,000.

Accidentally Shot.
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 12.?General
Freight Agent W. E. Estes of the
Central of Georgia was perhaps fatally
shot by his wife at an early
hour this morning. He received the
bulletin the temple, and surgeons
are now unable to say whether or
not he will survive.
The shooting was accidental. Mr,
harl inst. arrived home. His
wife said she had heard a noise that
made her think there was a burglar
in the house and asked him to take a
pistol she had placed on the table by
her bedside. She was handing him
the weapon when it was discharged.
Surgeons say the skull was badly
fractured. They have extracted the
j bullet.

Mirth of a Murderer.
With the help of a little tool, not unlike
a tin opener, our burglar cut two
long slits?one perpendicular, the other
horizontal?in the iron shop shutter.
Then be wrenched the flap toward
him. bending it with his powerful
hands as one twists open the lid of a
sardine tin. Another minute and he
was inside.
Quietly and methodically he thrust
precious stones and rings into his little
Lag. choosing those which besides
being small were of great value*. The
bag was all but/full when the jeweler
himself appeared at the back of the
shop. He carried a candle in one hand
$md a revolver in the other.
" The burglar bowed very politely and
said:
"I did not care to pass by an old
friend's house without stopping to bid
him good day."
The unsuspecting jeweler allowed
hin^elf to be shaken by the hand,
wjien, with a sudden thrust the burglar
stabbed him to the heart
The bag was rapidly filled to almost
bursting point and before leaving the
premises th^ burglar wrote a few
words on a sheet of paper, which he
pasted on the outside of the shop:
"Closed on account of death In the
family."?London Scraps.
Professional Etiquette.
Ad eminent physician had a valuable
cow, which became sick and seemed
likely to die. He asked an Irish servant
who lived with him If he knew
anybody who followed co-rk doctoring.
The doctor's groom said, "There's Jemmy
Lafferty, who can cure any cow In
the world." "Well, then," replied the
doctor, "go for Lafferty." The cow
doctor accordingly came and treated
the brute for four or five days, and
on the lapse of due time he waited on
Dr. Lewis jmd pronounced her cured.
The doctor, greatly delighted, put his
hand on his pocketbook. "Well, Lafferty,
what do I owe you?' "Owe
me!" replied Jemmy, drawing himself
up with dignity. "Nothing, sir. We
doctors niver take money of one another."
"Mv first imnulse." said the doctor
while telling the story, "was to throw
his fee after hbn. but on second
thought the whole affair seemed so
ridiculous that I bowed him my aoknowledgments
with as much gravity '
as 1 could assume." ? London Telegraph.
Loaded Ivory.
'An ivory dealer uttered a cry of
rage.
; "Dc e again!" he said. "Done out of
$50.*'
And he laid aside one of the tusks
from the great heap that he had been
examining.
"It 4g ballasted with lead," he said.
"That is a common Kongo trick. The
native when he gets a good big tusk
of eighty pounds or bo melts up ten or
fifteen pounds of lead and pours It
down into the tusk's hollow. He fills
it so to speak, as a dentist fills a\
tooth. ' ,
"We dealers know the dodge, and
'every tusk is gone over carefully for
a lead filling. My new trader, though,
is rather careless, and this is the second
filled tusk that has been worked
off on him in the last quarter."
The dealer's frown vanished, and he
smiled.
"Of course the trader and not I will
have to stand the loss," be said.?IkUn?

Old Age It 8elfish.
A lady residing In a quiet village in
Suffolk used to take an interest in a
very aged couple who were spinning
out the last thread of life in "Darby
and Joan" fashion, seated on either
side of their fireplace. She often paid
vthem a visit to cheer them up. The old
man had been ailing, and at last a day
came when the visitor found only one
chair occupied. Darby was not in his
usual place.
"Where Is your husbandV'
"Well, m^im, he be gone at last"
"Oh, I'm so sorry! That is very sad
for you," said the lady, seeking to find
words of consolation.
"Yes, mum. it be sad," replied the
.old woman, "but then, you see, he
were fearfully in tbe^ way of the oven."

Deadly Eastx Indian Duels.
There are a good deal of savagery and
stoical disregard of death left In the
east yet despite the advance of civilization,
and this extends to the so called
sports of the people. Thus among the
natives of Baroda there obtains still a
kind ofi> gladiatorial display in the
* shape of a fearful fist fight wherein
the contestants wear a very formidable
cestus of steel studded with murderous
spikes. The duelists?usually
big, brawny, athletic men who have
been infuriated for the occasion with
copious drafts of opium in which hemp
is infused?enter the arena singing and
set to with deliberate Intent to kill,
one or both invariably succumbing.
Life of Leisure.
There are still a few who are leisure
? i?. * .
ly In their hours or ireeaom, uui wuat
about the old life of leisure? It used
to be thought, that such a life was innocent
and admirable and that good
fruit might come of it But nowadays
the .man who does nothing but meditate
and observe and write a little is a
man condemned by the ordinary opinion
of society.?London Reader.
