FRAMEl'P TO ROB EXPRESS.
Charleston Police Hold Messenger
and Another.
i
Charleston, Sept. 5.?William B.
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.

ATTEMPT AT KIDNAPPING.

P. H. Christian, a well known m<

has been restored in safety to he
family.
The story told by the girl is ths
Christian, whom she knew, invite
her for a spin on the rear seat of hi
racing motorcycle, and that sli
agreed with the understanding th?
they were merely to ride out Peacl
tree road to Brookwood and retur
to the city.
When they reached that spot, th
girl says, Christian instead of turr
ing around opened wide the throtth
She says that they were going so fas
that to try to jump off would hav
meant certain death and that all sh
could do was to cling to the desperit
rider while her hair flew loose in th
wind and the dust blew in her eyes
She tried to scream, she said, to pec
pie in passing autos, but they wen
by like a streak and seemed not t
hear.
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.
Christian will be given a prelimi
nary hearing tomorrow afternoon.
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.

e LIFE HISTORY OF AFRICAN LION.
e
Domestic Economy of the Animal De5.
scribed by Roosevelt.
it That the lion is to the hunter the
o most dangerous of animals is the thesis
of Col. 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

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.

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. Sta
iles with open doors encompass the
.rena, in front of each of which is
1 sliding door and at the back ?
ighted lantern. These lanterns the
>ulls make for one after another
mashing them and extinguishing the
ights; and, as each light is observed

eady for the Spanish holiday of the
morrow. Successively the lights diS'
.ppear, and when all are out anc
he doors of the stables closed the
lolice oxen are driven out of the
>ull ring to return to their more
leaceful paddocks, and to rendei
imilar service to other bulls anc

taker asked her age.
"Did you see the girls next door,'

"Yes."
