TARIFF SAYFS $600 OX CARGO.
| Steamer from Canada Waited Sign|
iiiil of the Rill.
Bay City. Mich.. Oct. 4.?The
steamer Ogemaw to-day arrived here
from Canada with a cargo of lumber.
1 after remaining at anchor for two
B days in Saginaw Bay waiting for the
9^ new tariff law to go into effect. Own||F
ers of the steamer and cargo estijgf
mated that the move saved $000.

said thousands of dollars' worth of
I lumber has accumulated in Canadian
ports which soon will find markets
in the United States.
I WHERE THEY SHOVEL GOLD.
I Men and Mechanical Devices Protect
K Treasures.
^ Not even the Bank of England is
more rigidly guarded that the subtreasury,
despite the fact that there
are no armed sentries at the corner of
^ Nassau and Wall streets. Anybody
who strolls through the central corridor.
which runs from Wall street
to Pine, cannot avoid noticing the
pistol-holsters that hang on the walls
behind the doors, and the husky men
in citizens' clothes who stand at inI
tervals?the only men in the buildL
ing who are permitted to stand idle.
Bra Those who do not come to the subjsg^k
treasury on business are quickly sent
gfltt away, but at the same time, it is
well not to be too hurried in passing
BS* through An eminently respectable
citizen, who was late for an appointment
one day recently, thought he
would take a short-cut through the
sub-treasury corridor, and, after
W climbing the high flight of steps from
Wall street, started to run between
the lines of cages.
In an instant two men had stopped
him in his tracks. He barely escaped
being roughly handled before
* he identified himself, and when the
guards were satisfied that he was all
right, they advised him grimly never
k ^ tc try to run through the sub-treas-1
r ury again.
^ "We're always on the lookout for |
B people who lounge around and who j
run," they said. "We don't take any
chances here."
Why should they? There is. rough|
Iv speaking, from $250,000,000 to
$300,000,000 in cash in the subtreasury
all the time, a great part
of Jt in gold. Down in the valts, the
gold is stacked up like coal, and for
the sake of convenience the men who
handle it use shovels.
The clearing house, custodian of
almost as much ready money as the
sub-treasury, is another citadel of
Wall street. It's steel vaults, practically
a building by itself, is of the
^ most modern construction ana is reK
" garaed as being bnrglar-proof. Like
W many of the more modern vaults, it
is equipped with one device in particular
which is perhaps even more
, ? efficacious than a whole troop of
I armed guards. Over the steel door
there are crescent-shaped openings.
They are the mouths of automatic
steampipes which send out clouds of
live steam the minute any unskilled
(hand tries to tamper with the deli- j
cate mechanism of the vault. The
burglar who first disposed of the
armed guards who guard this vault
at night would be scalded to death
long before he could make any impression
upon the shining steel surface
of the treasure house. Quite a
L large part of the $330,000,000 of
ft 6pecie belonging to the New York
| banks and trust companies is in the
^ clearing house vaults.
V Furthermore, even the approach
W of the burglars would be communicated
to the guards, no matter how
v stealthily they came or from what
? side, from above or from be'jw. For
W by a series of mirrors let into the
floor of the corridor, the guards can
see on every side of them as they
walk, and know exactly what is going
on around them.
The precautions are typical of
| > those taken by every institution in
| * Wall street which has much money
to protect. At nightime, there are
more armed watchmen on du+y in
k - the financial district than in any
K other section of equal area. And
^ never is the responsibility of the
night-watch placed upon the shoulders
of one man. There is always a
squad on duty, heavily armed, and
assisted by the most elaborate electric
protective and telephonic systern
possessed by any city in the
world.?New York Evening Post.

GOVERNMENT MAY ()\YX WIRES.
! Federal Owenersliip of Telegraph and
Telephone Lines Suggested.
Washington. Oct. 2.?Governnieni
ownership of telegraph and telephone '
lines is to be proposed in bills Rep- 1
resentative David J. Lewis, of Mary- (
land, now is drafting for introduc- 1
lion in the House within a month. 1
Though the measures, which would 1
have these public utilities taken over
as a part of postal service, have not (
been made an Administration policy,
the President is known to have discussed
the idea with Representative :
Lewis and others. Mr. Lewis has collected
a mass of .data on telephone (
and telegraph operation and has pre- 1
pared estimates as to their cost to :
the Government, their availability
as a source of revenue and cost of 1
maintenance. He also has worked 1
out a plan for their acquirement and ^
operation as Government public util
ities. Representative Lewis frequent- 1
lv has consulted with Postmaster 1
General Burler.ou concerning his (
project. 1
When the Maryland Congressman
reviewed his plans with the president 1
the latter, it is reported, evinced [
considerable interest, but it is J
known that consideration of the mat- J
ter has not advanced sufficiently for
the project to be designated as an (
Administration plan. Representative J
Lewis, however, proposes to press 1
1
the projected legislation vigorously 1
and already has procured the endorsement
of many members of Congress.
Brings Parents Into Court.
C
Xew York, Oct. 4.?John and Al- s
line Fleming were arraigned before *
Magistrate Nolan today. Their daugh- \
ter, Grace, accused them of disorderly
conduct. The daughter, who ?
is eighteen and pretty, sorrow fully
complained that her father and moth- 1
er are intemperate and that their
language at times is "awful."
The girl said that she had not had
an easy life since she was eleven *
years old. She declared she was will- A
ing to support the family with the I *
aid of her sister and a cousin, who | *
lived with them, but not if her pa- *
rents were to ruin her life.
The parents denied the story. Af- *
ter they did so Magistrate Nolan 1
said: "I believe every word this girl
has said, and she has taken the prop- '
r
er step in coming to this court for
! a summons for her parents. 1 admire ?
her for her firmness. If the girl were c

The Happiest Man. I
T
"The happiest man in the vorld is r
the common, every-day chap who ^
makes his own living, pays his own t
bills and has the respect of his neighbors.
He saves a little money as he
goes along, but he does not try to get ^
a corner on his local output and he is ,
c
not a slave to ambition or society. He (
never expects to wear out his trou- 5
sers in the senate, and when he glides (
out of bed in the morning he never c
wastes any timg to pick out the right
tint of socks, suspenders and necktie
that will blend with general effect.
He only wears a high collar when he

j to Germany ana orougnt it oacK

CAN'T RECALL ALL DETAILS.
Husband of Five Wives Tells Court
He Can't Live Particulars.
Kansas City, Kas., Oct. 2.?Details
of a marriage tangle so puzzling that
even the defendant, A. O. Jacobs,
erst-while husband of five "wives,"
threw up his hands when asked for
details, were brought out at to-day's
session of the trial of Jacobs, charged
with bigamy. Jacobs is a horse deal
sr. four of the "wives" are living.
The charge was brought by Mrs.
Mary Paul Jacobs, of this city, who
said Jacobs already was united to
Mrs. Cora Andrew Jacobs, of Kansas
City. Mo., when he married her. Untler
a Kansas law prohibiting remarriage
withing six months after divorce,
Jacobs contended both these
marriages were illegal, since he contacted
them within six months after
[lis divorce from Mrs. Merle Maher
Jacobs in Fort Scott, Kansas, and,
therefore, was 110 bigamist. In return
the State sought to prove the
tlivorce had no effect on the case inismuch
as the marriage in Fort Scott
ivas itself illegal, having been contracted
a month before, Jacobs was
livorced by a former wife, Mrs. Katie
D. Lamaster Jacobs, of Jonesboro,
\rk, a blind woman.
It was at this point that the horse
lealer threw up his hands and asserted
it was impossible for him to
remember "all the red tape" surrounding
his marriages.
Try to Beat Up Train Crew
Columbia, Oct. 2.?Ajigered because
of refusal of the conductor to
illow dogs to be carried on the train
some parties at Parr Shoals, twentyhree
miles from Columbia yesterday
ifternoon knocked down Conductor
r. W. True and his porter and
slightly injured Engineer Orr, either
)y a stray bullet or billet of lumber
is Train No. 14, of the Southern
Railway pulled out of Parr Shoals
or Columbia.
The conductor is said to have been
lit across the head with a piece of
vood and is painfully bruised. It is J
hought that Engineer Orr was hit
)y a bullet fired by some member of
he crowd, but this is uncertain. He
vas only slightly wounded. The ne- j
?ro porter was knocked down and
iruised.
According to the information availible
here, it seems that when
rrain Xo. 14 reached Parr Shoals
some parties there wanted to put two
logs on the train, but as they were
lot provided with either collars or
:hains, as required by law. Conductor
rrue, declined to permit the dogs
iboard and signalled for the train
o go ahead. The ones wanting the
logs carried, angered by the reusal,
are said to have started towards
the trainmen. Conductor
True received a lick across the head
vith a piece of wood. One story is
o the effect that the negro porter
ushing to the assistance of the coniuctor
was confronted by a gun in
lie hands of one of the party and
ibruptly halted only to be knocked
lown. The trainmen recovered themselves
and got aboard, but Engineer
3rr received a wound either from a
stray bullet or from a piece of wood.
As far as known, no arrests in
connection with the affairs have been
liade at Parr Shoals.
The matter caused much comment
ispecially among tne railroad men,
md there was general indignation at
he treatment, accorded the conduc;or
and engineer. Parr Shoals au-|
horities will likely be asked to make
i rigid investigation into the affair.
3irl Averts Probable Death and Fire.
Atlanta, Oct. 4.?Miss Beatrice

Although badly burned about the

tccording to physicians who are atending
her at the hospital.
Miss Sockwell lives with her aunt
it 32 Richardson street. She was
done in the house at the time of
he fire. She had cleaned a skirt with

LAIKKXS FAILMKK KILLS NEGRO.
Claimed tliiit Thos. H. Xeal, of Cross
Hill, Fired in Self-defence.
Laurens, Oct. 4.?Thos. H. Xeal.
a farmer residing about four miles
below Cross Hill, shot and instantly
billed Isaac Smith, a negro farm
hand, last night shortly after midnight.
This morning Xeal came to
the city and surrendered himself
to the sheriff. After the inquest was
held this afternoon John M. Cannon,
attorney for the defendant, appeared
before Associate Justice Watts, at
chambers here, and secured bail in
the sum of $1,000. Bond was immediately
executed and Xeal returned
home. It is alleged that the negro,
without Xeal's knowledge or permission,
took one of the defendant's
mules from the stable last night and
drove it until about midnight. When
he returned with the team the negro
was intercepted at the barn by Xeal.
Being caught up with, it is stated,
the negro became defiant, and, it is
alleged, drew his pistol on the white
man, whereupon Xeal fired upon
Smith, shooting him dead.
HIS DREAM COMES TRUE.
Rudolph Myers' "One-Man Railroad"
to Be Finished.
Four years ago Rudolph Myers,
hale and 40, and his two mules, Jennie
and Mike, came to Jetmore. Rudolph
built a little shack and housed
himself and his mules. He then announced
that he had come to build a
railroad between Jetmore and GarHon
Pitv oovc n T of m nrn LT o n Hic_
Vitj , oaj o a, u ^txiivi V/, ivuu., uio"
patch. Myers had the cash and purchased
the right of way at a nominal
figure, for the farmers were interested
in him and wanted the road
built.
For four years Myers toiled along
with his faithful mules. He cooked
his own meals and lived in the shack
with the animals. No one could get
him to discuss his railroad and every
one dubbed it the "one-man railroad
of Kansas" and laughed when it was
discusssed. But Myers kept on
v orking.
Today neighbors were astonished
to see a regular railroad gang at
work. The workers said they were
employed by the Santa Fe railroad
to build a cutoff from its branch at
Jetmore to Garden City. Myers seemed
to be the master of ceremonies.
But he wouldn't discuss the new
arrivals. However, as he patted Jennie
and Mike he smiled and said to
them:
"We won't have to work much
longer, will we, old friends?"
