plying with what he declared was the
I command of God revealed to him in
v a vision last night, Conductor J. L.
Steele, Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton Railway, made his run from
' this city to Findlay, Ohio, to-daj
with only an engine and caboose.
When he arose to-day the conductor
vy" '
related the vision. Friends' attemptp)>
ed to persuade him to abandon the
J? run, but he was insistent, and when
the situation was explained to the
train dispatcher, that official issued
orders for the run to be made in acj
cordance with the vision.
Thought to be Insane.

$25,000 STOLEN FROM SHIP. .
Case of Gold Mysteriously Disap?
pears from German Liner.
Madrid, Jan. 29.-??A case of gold
.y . to the amount of 100,000 marks
($25,000) was stolen from the strong
room of the German liner Cap Blanco,
on the voyage from Rio Janeiro,
according to dispatches from Vigo,
M Spain.
The door of the room was opened
by a duplicate key. Nine other simi
?lar cases forming a consignment of
gold from Rio Janeiro to Berlin were
found intact.
A thorough search of the ship was
fruitless and the missing gold was
not recovered. Police and customs
launches surrounded the liner as
soon as she arrived at Vigo to-day.

steps from him fired on him with a
shotgun loaded with bird shot. The
^ load entered the body under the left

dangerous and perhaps fatal wound.
- He is still alive this morning, but his
condition is very serious.

NAVY OPPOSES BRIDGE. ' J.
> Reports Unfavorably on tne Amend- .
ed Bill.
Washington, Jan. 29.?A sweeping
! report against the amended Cooper ]
l River bridge bill was received to-day 1
by the senate committee on com- <
[ merce from the navy department. <
i As the war department reported 1
r against the first bill on account of i
, the opposition of the navy depart- ]
ment, it is to be taken for granted 1
that the two departments will stand 1
s together again. j
While no detailed statement could t
> be obtained from either the senate 1
[ committee or from the navy depart- (
ment as to the matter, it is under- (
stood on reliable authority that the t
report just received condemns the <
j idea of any bridge whatever between (
the navy yard and the sea. s
As the subject now goes to - the
1 sub-committee of bridges, of which <
j Senator Martin, of Virginia, is chair- 1
i man, the latter was seen and asked ]
! ft there would be any action by the 1
commerce committee in the absence i
' of Senator Tillman, who is attending t
the Corn Show at Columbia. The i
Virginia senator said very positively ]
that there would not be any action i
ii?+il donatnr Tillman's rpfnrn. "I
will guarantee this," said Senator \
Martin. i
On the house side Chairman s
Adamson, of the committee on inter- t
state and foreign commerce, said (
that nothing had been heard from t
either department on the amended s
bill as introduced by Mr. Legare. ]

ARRESTS MAY CAUSE SENSATION
Negroes Now Held in York County ^
Jail After Confession.
Fort Mill, Jan. 30.?Jealousy and
revenge for the alienation of the
friendship of two women of their
Dwn race in whom they were interj&ted
is the motive which prompted
Will Gregory and Ned Wilson, young .
aegro men, to burn a barn on the ^
plantation of the Lee S. Nevins estate,
in Fort Mill township, three
fveeks ago, according to the confes>ion
which the men have just made.
:o a detective and Police Officer Col:harp.
Both men are now in York
county jail charged with the serious
irime of arson. Gregory must face
i second equally serious charge, that
pf .attempting to poison the family
pf Burt Nevins, to whicft he is also
v
said to have admitted his guilt.
For some time prior to January 1,
Gregory and Wilson are said to have
ived with Viola Rogers and Martha
Bucks, respectively. The women
:hen left Gregory and Wilson and
noved to the Nivens estate, on land
c
:enanted by A. C. Wallace. On the
light of January 5, the barn used by C
Jr. Wallace burned, the loss amount- E
ng to.more than $1,000.
Burt Knox, negro, being unable to a
rivo q pnhpront nrpnnnt nf hi? where
~ " ' ' ~~ - " - -J
ibouts the night the barn was destroyed,
was arrested a few days af- 11
;erwards and has been in jail charg- s
id with the crime. But according to c
;he confession of Gregory and Wil- a
son, Knox had nothing to do with ^
turning the barn and he probably
will be released from jail. 11
When the trial of Gregory and
Wilson takes place some rather un- 0
savory revelations involving the
lames of two or three, more or less ^
r
vell known white men of the townQ
ship are expected, unless the prison- ^
>rs plead guilty and the trial is in D
consequence brought to an abrupt t
rnding. *
