Street of Reevesville and Bruce Coleman, express messenger, were arrested this afternoon and lodged at the police station charged with the robbery of the express car of Southern . railway last week. Chief Cantwell said to-night that Street had confessed that there was a "frame.up" between him and Coleman to rob the car. Street says he boarded the car at Summervilie ana ieu uie tram at Magnolia crossing with Coleman a willing victim to imprisonment in the chest in which he was found by the train officials upon arrival at the union station. Street was brought to Charleston by Detectives Hogan and Petrenovich, having been arrested on a warrant sworn out at Reevesville today. Coleman refuses to aimit any participation in the plot. Detective Hanley of the Southern lailway and the officials of the express company cooperated with the Charleston police department in making the arrest. The men will be given a hearing before a magistrate tomorrow. Arkansas Turns to Highway Work. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 3.?Business was forgotten in Arkansas today, while the people worked the roads. It was the first of two "good roads" days proclaimed by Gov. George W. Hays and it was a succes. Everywhere citizens wielded the shovel and pick and the banker put in as long hours and worked just as long as the hired laborers. Hundreds of miles of the State's highways are in better shape tonight than ever be fore. Tomorrow will be a repetition. Gov. Major of .Missouri, who came to Arkansas to "give an exhibition of plain and fancy shoveling," put in a 1 good day's work. So did Gov. Hays. In fact, the Missouri executive proved 1 so good a workman that he has been induced to remain to help tomorrow. 1 The two governors, in the regulation overalls, were members of a "gang" J assigned to a stretch of roadway near Little Rock. The day was hot, the mercury climbing dangerously close to the 1 season's record, but tonight's reports ! are that the workers are none the worse for their experience other than blistered hands and tired bodies. Except in several counties, where the roads are so hard because of lack 1 of moisture it was deemed advisable to postpone working them, the day 1 was observed throughout the State. 1 In hundreds of town every place of business was closed. In those coun- 1 ties where work was impossible, citizens have promised to put in time after the first rain. The women of Arkansas also did 1 their part to make the day a success. Generally their task was to provide the dinner pail, but at Forche dam, " ^ near .Little Rock, 20 worked beside the men. The leader of the little 1 band, a woman more than SO years old, promised to have her workers on hand again tomorrow. m ] HANGS HIMSELF IN HOTEL. Col. Sam Tate, Prominent Hail road , Engineer, a Suicide. ] Asheville, X. C., September 3.? ' After writing letters to several of his personal friends here, Col. Sam Tate, i chief of engineers of the Trans-Con- < tinental Railroad Company, and prominent in engineering circles of the 1 country, committed suicide at an ex- ! elusive hotel here to-day. He hanged himself with a cord from a Venetian 1 blind in his room. The body was 1 discovered by an attache of the hotel. ; Col. Tate was a member of a prom- 1 inent Memphis family. He was a son of the late Sam Tate, of that city. He was 65 years of age and is survived by a wife and two daughters. He had taken an active part in the 1 building of many railroad lines in Central America, Jamaica, Mexico and many of the States of the Middle West. TO TEACH IX CHINA.

Finally Christian rode into a wood and stopped. Although nearly faint ing she managed to scream and tea herself from his embrace, and he continued screaming frightened hit away.

NOT A WHEEL MOVED IA SL15. 100,000 People Storm Brookly] Bridge Terminus New York.?Not a wheel moved ii the New York subway between Nine ty-sixth street, in upper Manhattan md the Brooklyn terminal during th rush hour of the workbound crowd this morning, resulting in one of tlii worst congestions in traffic the cit; lias known. Over three inches of rain fell dur ing the night, flooded the subwa; tracks to the depth of three feet o more and nine miles of four tracke< subway were put entirely out of com mission. The deluge was the wors in ten years, acording to the weathe bureau, and in its three hours' dura tion it often gained the proportion of a cloudburst. Streets were turned into rivers some of them two to four feet deep and the water poured in great quan tities in cellars, driving basemen dwellers from their homes. The roofs of two large Broadwa; hotels sprang a leak and torrents o water, which had been held back b; ohoked leaders, went down througl bedrooms and halls, driving guest from their rooms and doing seriou damage to decorations and tapestries Elevators were put out of commis sion in several hotels and guests ha< to climb many flights of stairs. A two large Broadway houses guest were obliged to go to bed by candb light. Lights were put out in some of th subway trains last night and lat tiomegoers suffered fright when stall sd in the darkness. Surface cars wer put out of commission all over th' city for a time by the torrents of wa ter which poured into the under ground trolley conduit, causing shor circuit. It was 9 o'clock before the line wa cleared and the congestion presente< anything like normal conditions. The-Interborough Company loade< fiat cars with electric pumps capabli Df discharging 750 gallons a minub and sucked the rain water out of th' cube as last as men could work. The block at the Brooklyn termin lis of the subway was the worst oi the system. One hundred thousam persons use this station between ' and 8 o'clock in the morning. At several central stations the baf fled subway users stormed the ele vated trains in such numbers tha police reserves were called out t make them keeD in line and tak their turns. Fifty fire chiefs here attendin; their international convention, wer in an express train stalled at th Columbus Circle station of the sub way early to-day. They all turned ii and helped the subway guards escor passengers on this train and other stayed behind and came over th third rail and up to the station plat form. Editorial Qualifications.

Roosevelt in his elucidas tion of "The Life History of the African Lion," in the current issue of r Scribner's Magazine, says the Philar delphia Ledger. A man alone is never u safe in a lion-infested region on a e dark night. Two man-eating lions t - for a time halted the building of the a Uganda Railway by their depredations among the ranks of the labor ers; another jumped into the division superintendent's car and made off 11 with him; other lions closed the na- r tive routes of travel in the land of f 2 the Masai west of Mt. Kenia several v _ years ago. A white traveler mauled t by a lion had his wounds dressed and f e was laid unwatched upon the cot in j, s his tent; the lion returned for him _ e and killed him. The charging lion v y "runs in oh all fours, like a dog, g knocks the man down as it seizes E _ him, and then lies on him, using the jy claws to hold him and doing the killr ing with the great fangs." George e I Grey, brother of Sir Edward Grey, ^ . lost his life because familiarity had ^ t bred contempt, and, brave as he was, E r he had forgotten how dangerous a . lion can be. v s The lion will attack any animal except the full-grown elephant, the c rhinoceros and the hippopotamus, v and the pangs of hunger may lead a _ him to do battle with even these s t formidable antagonists. "If the lion 0 can bound on his victim, fixing the t y claws of one fore paw on its face or v f muzzle, while the other holds it by a y the shoulder and the great fangs tear p ti at the neck, feeling for the bone, he E s- is very apt to win." 0 s The domestic life of the African E linn dnoc rint annpar tr? hp nrdprpd ?> ? 11 i_ after one invariable pattern. "Lions c 3 are sometimes monogamous and t t sometimes polygamous, and there f s is much variety in the way they con- j: e duct their family life." Frequently a t sour-tempered old bachelor is found i 0 by himself, and sometimes two adult i; e males will go into partnership, as in t . the case of the lions that hindered o e the railway builders. t e "A lion and a lioness are often i; . found together, and in such case a c _ strong attachment may be shown bet tween them and the union be appar- t ently permanent; at least this would s g seem to be the case from the fact a 3 that such pairs will often remain to- a gether just before the birth of the e 3 cubs, and while the latter are very a e little, the lion lying up during the s e day in the neighborhood of his mate b e and her litter. But it is a frequent a thing to find a party of lions consist- a - ing of one old male, of two or three 1 1 or four females, and of the cubs of t 3 some of the latter, and these parties s 7 are well known to the Wakambo and ] 'Xdorobo hunters, and their associa- t - tion is permanent, so that these cases s !- evidently afford instances of poly- a t gamy. Two or three lionesses some- r o times live in companionship, with r e perhaps the cubs of one or more of a them, and a single lioness may be t g found either by herself or with the p e cubs of one litter, or of two litters, t e On one occasion I found a lioness p i- associating with a young male, not s a yet quite fully grown, but already o t much bigger than she was, and a s couple of young cubs, perhaps two or e thrcp months old; now, from infor znation given me by the natives, I am inclined to think (although, of b course, I am not certain) that the s young male was one of her cubs of a e former litter, and the father of the s a cubs that were with them. Finally, y it may happen that lions join tern- n - porarilv in larger parties, which may - contain two or three adult males, d several females and young animals a of various ages, but I an inclined to t ti believe that these associations are a >. shortlived, being due to peculiar cons ditions, such as great local abundance r r, of game?for lions often hunt to- b e gether in order to profit by mutual a support." 1 KAISER A TEETOTALER. iiaid to Have Abandoned Use of Aleo holic Liquors. Emperor William is reported t tiave joined the ranks of teetotalers says a Berlin letter. It is known tha during his recent northern cruise th< emperor abandoned the use of prac :ically all alcoholic beverages, and i s understood that he has permanent [y foresworn even the Fatherland' 'amous beer and its choicest wines \s a substitute he has taken to lem made, with a dash of orange juice. In imperial circles it has long beei inown that Emperor William wa greatly impressed with statistica ?tudy of the effects of alcohol, rang ng from incitement to crime to im jairment of man's working efficiency 3e often expressed the opinion t< nembers of his court that immod ?rate drinking was one of the great jst factors in retarding the develop nent of nations, and while he wa: ;wearing in naval recruits at Wil lelmshaven recently he took occasioi o deliver a lecture on temperance Recently he also told army officer! hat he would be well pleased i oasts to his health were drunk ir ^ater. The emperor has not forced hi! >pinion upon his friends, however .nd his own stand has received little lublicity, perhaps for the same rea on that the minister of education o; he South German state once opposed he establishment of a Good Templai odge on the ground that it threaten' d one of the most important indusries of the empire. The imperial exmple usually carries great weight. Oven as Policeman. Whatever one's views may be ir egard to bull-fighting, there is on* eature of the national sport of Spair i-hich is particularly interesting tc he visitor and sightseer. The bulls or the arena are usually kept ir arge paddocks, wild and unfettered ?for, as Sir Albert Rollit, who has isited one of these paddocks neai Seville, says, "The animals knew tothing of ropes or chains during heir lifetimes." It is a dangerous business, howver, entering these paddocks. Sii Ubert stood some fifty paces fron he bulls, and in his interesting lettei [escribing the scene, published ii Country Life," says: "We entered rith our lives in our hands." The bulls, however, are kept ii >rder by a cordon of tame oxen ^hich if a bull attempts to escape t once prevents its doing so, acting killfully and effectively as a species ?f bovine police. "The night befor* he spectacle in the bull ring at Se ille," to quote Sir Albert, "the bulls .re driven, still quite at large, bj licadors along the boulevards, inter mixed with the oxen and restrainec inly by them. On my asking if then Qust not be danger to the public us ag the boulevards, the reply was tha iccasionly a bull might hide in the mshes of the central gardens anc all foul of a workman in the morn ng; but such incidents did not seen 0 be regarded as matters of mucl mportance compared with the popu arity of the National amusement. Ai imes many of the aristocracy anc ithers of both sexes ride on horse iack in advance of the bulls, whicl s reqprded as fine but rather danger >ur sport. "When, at, or near, midnight the >ulls thus enter the bull ring, the cene is one of great turmoil, noise nd excitement. In rush the driver nimals, bulls and oxen, helter-skelt r, a motlv crowd of men and beasts . veritable pandemonium. The las cene is most interesting of all.
