LOST HIS BABY ,
Years Ago and Recently Found ;
Her a Grandmother
IN A GEORGIA TOWN
The True Story of uu Old Confederate
Soldier That Heads Like Flctloit.
I*?ft His Wife and Hahy
Forty Si* Years Ago and Heturned
to llis Old Home A Few Weeks
Later.
Through the medium of newspaper
advertising, \V. N. Phelps, who
for the past forty-one years has been
a resident of Central America, has
found his long lost daughter, who
is now Mrs. W. 1). Affleck, wife of
Captain Win. I). Aflleck. a prominent
hotel proprietor of Columbus, (ia.
Forty sl\ years ago he kissed his
little G-ycar-old daughter goodby and
marched to defend the southland
irom the northern invaders. When
next he saw his daughter she was
herself a grandmother.
The strange story rivals notion,
and father and daughter can scarcely
realize that they are united. Mrs.
Alileck was (Irmly convinced that
her father was slain on the Moody
field of Gettysburg over forty years
ago and when he entered the Hotel
Atlleck and she was informed that it
was indeed her father she felt as if
some one had risen from the dead.
When Mr. Phelps went to the
front in 181U he loft his wife and
little daughter at their (leorgia home
lie was desperately wounded at. Gettyshurg,
being shot through the head
and left on the field for dead. The
news came it was verified by the official
report" that he was among the
slain of that battle. His own mother
died, years later, believing that
lie had perished there.
Ills wife, tailoring under the same
belief, left Georgia and wont to live
with relatives in Alabama. Hut
I'l "?>s was not killed. He revived
enough to be carried to a federal
hospital and there recovered. lie
afterwards escaped but could not
make his was to the south and boarded
a vessel for Central America.
He there took nart in t
struction work of the first. railroad
built in Costa Rica. At the closo of
tho war he endeavored to locate his
family in Georgia, hut could not, owing
partly to the general demoralisation
and confusion following the
war. Hearing a rumor that they
had gone to Alabama, he continued
liis investigation.
Ho advertised repeatedly in tho
newspapers of that state, but without
success. He decided to locate
permanently in Central America, and
for thirty-seven years was an engineer
on a government railroad in
Costa Rica. Hecntly he retired on
full pay for life, and not long ago
came back to tho United States, locating
temporarily in Alabama, not
far from Birmingham.
Ho decided to advertise once more
for his daughter and inserted notices
in Alabama newspapers and
also one in a Columbus newspaper.
His daughter saw the advertisement
in the Col tunbus paper and to her
it was like a voice from the grave.
Tho next train carried Captain
Affleck to tho Alabama village where
he was stopping and he told the old
man that his daughter was living.
The joy of the aged father?now 7 4
years of ago?was almost pathetic,
tile left for Columbus with his new
found son-in-law, and at the Hotel
Affleck a touching reunion took place
Ho was informed that tho wife
of his youth had long sinco died,
which caused him to shed a tear.
When ho left her in 18C1 she was
in her youth and <|uito handsome.

A Chinaman 1<!1o|K'N With Pretty Girl
At Chicago.
At least one white girl lias been
found that does not fear the yellow
peril, ller name is Agnes Fullwood,
While on a visit to Chicago she eloped
with and married a Chinaman.
They were married last Saturday.
The pair tried to get married in
Hammond, Ind., hut all the ministers
in the town refused to marry 1
them. They continued on to Crown
Point, where they obtained a license
and the luiot was tied.
Thomas Sin Tnow is the chinaman
He is a chop suey promoter and
member of a sydnicate which controls

Miss Fullwood was visiting friends
at Bnglewood.
While on a sightseeing tour about
the Oriental restaurants she mot the
Chinaman. He called on her is an

Beaboard's President Sounds Danger
Signal.
President W. A. Garrett, of the
Seaboard Air Line, while inspecting j
the company's property said the railroads
of this country had reached
the financial danger line on account
of legislation imposing reductions
and penalties.
It means that many roads will
pass into the hands of receivers unless
the penalties are modified. Antagonism
of the people is responsible.
The Seaboard for seven months
of the present fiscal year," ho said,
"has made the expenses and interest I
on its bonds." , t
ACCIDENT OR SUIOlbtY
<
Body of a Young Man Found in
the Koad
a
1
Not Far From Hit Homo in the t
i
Neighborhood of Fort Motto Friday
Morning.
Did ho commit suicide or wuh he ^
murdered? are the questions being '
asked in reference to Mr. Esie J. \
Itozurd, whose dead body wuh found ;
lying in the road, a short distance
from his home, one mile from Fort
Motto, about nine o'clock on last
Friday morning by a small negro
boy. 1
There is a mystery connected with 1
iiis death that may never be solved.
After breakfast on Friday morning
he put the hands to work on the
farm, and then left the house to go
to the postofllce, which was his usual
custom. This was the last time
he was seen alive. Boon after his '
dead body was found as above mentioned.
, ,, ,,
Ho came to his death either by
Accident or he committed suicide,
He may have been examining ins,
pistol when it went off and killed'
him, or he may havo put the pistol !
to his head and tired the shot that 1
ended his earthly career. Nothing J
is positively known, but the general '
opinion seems to be that lie commit-1 !
ted suicide.
The bull entered near the temple j
and ranged buck and up, passing en-!
tirely through his head. His hat '
.urn mi11* wore scorched by the fire 1
from the pistol, which showed that |
it was very near when It was fired '
There was no trace or indication '
whatever of foul play. As it had *
rained only a few hoars before, the 1
signs of a struggle would have been <
quite easy of detection, had there
been any.
If he (lid commit suicide no one t
knows any cause for the terrible act.
It is true lie was not in the very
best of health and was at times despondent,
but it Is not thought that
either of these things had much to :
do with the young man's taking his
own life. There must have been ^
some other cause for the rash act.
Mr. Hozard was twenty-eight 5
years of ago, and was unmarried. ^
Ho had been assistant postmaster at *
Fort Motto for several years, and '
his courteous, gentlemanly bearing '
towards tlio public had made him '
many friends who were greatly 5
shocked when they heard of his sad
death. Ho loft a father, one sister J
and one brother, who have the sync J
pat by of many friends in their sad 1
bereavement.
Young Hozard was a member of '
the Knights of Pythias Lodge at '
Fort Motto, and was highly esteemed (.
by a large circle of friends. He was 1
a young man of good habits, and his (
death is a mystery that is hard to
solve. If he committed sucide, he *
must have become unbalanced for 1
time. Apparently he had no such |
Intention when he left his home a
short time before. 1

PLOT AGAINST TOM WATSON. ?
i
Shots Fired Into llis Soil's Bedroom |
by Unknown Party.
Several shots wore fired Into the

later claimed that investigation Indicated
a plot against Thomas E.
Watson or his family, no definite *
cluo was obtained.
Several shots were fired late last J
Friday night in the back yard of :
Oscar Lee, the former candidate's
son-in-law, hut none of the shots (
were directed at the house. At two !
o'clock Saturday morning two loads
of shot were fired through tlie young- '
er Watson's room, but did not go

Whatever else may lie said about

vork a fraud scheme. William Cure- {
on, now in the Anderson jail, is an s
idept at high financiering. William i (
>vho is as black as black can he, I t
sometime ago bought a pair of mules c
md a wagon from a gentleman in
Vnderson. lie paid a small part of }1
he purchase money cash, and gave ,
i mortgage to secure the balance. n
William, having gotten a start, be- c
;an his career as a promoter, and in (
i few days he had mortgaged the v
miles and wagon to at least ten ^
lifferent people for various amounts. ^
Some how or other William allowed j
lis methods of doing business to leak H

n jail on the charge of disposing
>f property under mortgage.
liis team was taken and sold, and
mough hard cash was realized to
nitisfy tho ilrst mortgage and pay *
something on the second mortgage.
The balance of his creditors will get

REFINED CRUELTY.
Mocking Tales of the Way Pupils
Were Treated.
sticking IMusters uiul Stockings Vsed
, .As Lags and Children Tied to the
Desks.
Some years ago it was proven
;hat the hides of negroes who had
J led in the Massachusetts State prison
and other public institutions
were taken and tanned and made
Into shoes, which were worn by the
keepers of these institutions, and
now comes another shocking tale
Trom the same state. This time it
Is a cnarge of cruel and brutal treatment
of school children in the public
schools at Lynn.
A dispatch from that city says the
jchool committee met one evening
last week aud listened to serious
charges against supervisory
Learners in the Eastern Avenue
Training; School. It was openly
Miarged that Normal School graduates
under supervision were guilty
if sealing the children's lips with
sticking plaster, placing stockings
iver their mouths and applying
green soap as a remedy for talking.
About three hundred indignant fa.hcrs
and mothers were present to
uess the charges of abuse of pupils.
Helen Thompson, thirteen, had her
inns tied behind her, her feet tied to
he desk and her head fastened to
he desk by rags.
Irving Well man, fifteen, declared
i sticking plaster was placed tightly
>ver his lips by a teacher, who wet
t with her own lips, and when takng
it off cut it oil with a pair of
scissors and picked the smaller
deces off with her linger sails.
Clarence M. Strickland, fourteen,
vas punished by use of a black stoekng
fastened tightly over his month.
Phis caused much difficulty in his
ireathing. The same stocking was
ised on every pupil.
William O'Dosnell, eleven, did not
mswer a question to the satisfacion
of his teacher and was taken
nto the dressing room, seized and
haken, after which he was thrown
lown on a sofa and sat upon. The
eacher then forced a half a cake
>f green soap into his mouth.
The school committee will meet
igain to listen in private session to
uore detailed recitals of the grleviiices
that parents and pupils are
xperiencing The names of the
eachers practicing those cruelties
rere not devulged, but it is alleged
hat they were acting under instruclons
from the principal, .Miss Maria
S. Paus, who they claim is responilile
for all the cruelty practiced on
he pupils.

A negro boy by the same of Hen
Sanders, 13 year old, was shot and
killed near liepkzibch, (la., Wednesday,
by another negro, Fred Williams,
of about the same age.
The two hoys were with a party
of hunters going Hjith them for the
purpose of carryiftf the ammunition
and game. Duriiiff the day they became
soperatod from the huntsmen
by a short distance and were playisg
with a gun. Williams pointed *
