A dispatch front Aiken to the Alliriistn Chronicle k:iv? in a/mltirtn to the four men already arrested, diarg d with complicity in the train robbery of Tuesday, late Thursday night. Constable Craig and one of the 1'inkerton detectives arrived in the city with a man giving his name is \V. M. Markie, whom they committed to jail on suspicion of being [ronnected with the robbery. Markie tells varying stories. He says he lias worked all over the county and knows no one in these parts. lit; claims, however, to know Gov. Gilchrist, in Florida. He was put through a rigorous examination, and the detectives say tin y have evidence sufficient to convict him. On his person was found a 4 4-calibre pistol, and a large sum of money. He weighs about 140 or 150 pounds, is about 5 feet 9 inches high, and has a moustache. His general appearance is that of a crook and his countenance is bad. Markie said that he came to Augusta yesterday. He was shabbily Iressed and wore a slouch hat. He tias an insolent tone in his voice ind refused to answer many of the luestions asked him and gave several different names to different ! parties. It is rumored that a suspected pal of his is under surreilance. Young Man Drowns. At Fitzgerald, Ga., Harry Stover, 17 year-old son of Rev.

AMONG LIVE SlOCKji CONSl MIXTION AMONG HOtiS AND CATTLK ISCRKASINU. It urea it of Aiiiiiiul Industry of I nit* j oil States Department of Agriculture Makes Alarmimr Sijitimih-iiI The reports of the Bureau of Animal Industry of tho United States j Department of Agriculture Indicate that tuberculosis among live stock ( is steadily increasing as shown by j the number of animals found effected at the various slaughtering centers. The increase in the number of cas- I es found is due in part, but only in part, to the increased elHciency ! of the method of inspection. The meat inspecting figures show that I nearly 1 p> r cent of cuttle and over! 2 per cent of hogs slaughtered are tuberculous, which is surely an | I alarming condition. Feeding experiments conducted by I the Bureau have proved conclusively that hogs are readily affected throughout the indigestion of feces and milk from tuberculous cows. There is, therefore, no doubt that the prevalence of the disease in hogs could be greatly reduced simply by eradicating it from cattle. Considerable testing of cattle lias been done in Washington, 1). C., and vicinity for the purpose of assisting the district authorites in ob- i taining a pure milk supply, and of obtainin for the Bureau further information regarding the extent of I tuberculosis in the locality and for other purposes. In these tests about 17 per cent of the dairy cattle reacted. The percentage of tuberculosis in various States, shown by tests con- i ducted by the officials in those States with bureau tuberculin, indicates that from 2.7 0 to l!U?l) per cent of the cows react, and it is estimated that in tlie country at large at least 10 per cent of the cows in dairy herds are tuberculous. The recent agitation against the? milk of tuberculous cows as human food lias had the effect of causing many herds to he examined, with astonishing results not only to the owners but to the officials themselves. Can it he wondered at that so many infants and children die of intestinal tuberculosis when so many of the cows from which milk is ob-# tained are tuberculous? Without considering the matter as a public health question, but looking at it entirely from an economic standpoint, and as a business proposition, live stock raisers cannot af| ford to have tuberculosis in their herds. As an illustration, Argentina requires that all cattle imported into that country shall be subjected to the tuberculin test upon arrival, and as a consequence exporters from the United States have had the test made on cattle intended for shipment. The results of these tests showed that in some of the pure bred herds nearly f?0 per cent of the animals were diseased and in con- j sequence sales were lost. When the practice becomes gen-; eral for all buyers of breeding cattle to have animals tested before placing them in their herds the breeder of strictly healthy cattle will be much sought after. Already some breeders of pure bred cattle have established or are arranging to establish such herds. As soon as the br< aders fully understand the fact that it is unprofitable to go on breeding cattle while tuberculosis exists in their herds, much of tlie objection raised against the sale of live stock subject to inspection will disappear, for it would he worth the price of several cond' Hined animals for the owner of a valuable herd to know file fact as early as possible if the disease exists in his herd, as the longer he delays in taking steps to prevent its spread the greater will be his loss evident 1 v. Figures for the last yar secured from ahattoris where federal inspection is maintained, show that over | 100 million pounds of meat was inspected, 4 (? million pounds of which was condemned, nearly three-fourths being for tuberculosis. The recent effort of the large packing interests to buy all dairy cows subject to post-mortem inspection shows how serious the plague is becoming. Sooner or later the man who raises tuberculosis animals must suffer the loss, unless the loss is paid for out of public funds, and when the loss is placed upon the producer we may then know that the end of the disease is in sight. It may at some time be necessary for the federal government to quarantine against interstate shipments ui uma iium certain ?iaies wnoro the disease prevails to a considerable extent, and require a strict supervision over all animals removed from such States for interstate shipment, and only remove the quarantine from sections of the State when it has been demonstrated that the diseaso either has been eradicated of is under strict local quarantine.

Like Kip Van Winkle, Sleep Twenty Years," Continues the .Mississippi Senator, Who Seemed to ho Very .Mad. Iti the senate one day last week Senator Koot received one of the most scathing verbal drubbings ever delivered in lhat august body. II** brought it down on his head by a ueieuse c? l rnairmati Antrim and his Finance Commit tee, which had been assailed by La Follette, who complain* d that he had difhculty in obtaining from the committee information to guide him in tiis course on t ho tariff bill. When LaFolctte had concluded Hoot, who although in the Senate less than six weeks, has tried to ride <>v r older members of the body, began a general lecture tof their tariff conduct. lie said ho did not care to hoar declamation. lie thought it undignified and dishonorable to get up and make spe* cites merely to make votes at home, knowing that no one here was listening. It was tiresome to hint. "1, too, have listened," lie continued, attempting to raise his voice to tin oratorial pitch, "to the vituperation heaped upon tin* chairman of the finance committee, it is utterly disgusting." Two minutes later he regretted that lie had spoken. Senator Money ambled into the chamber as Root was linishing. "1 subsi^be to every word of praise given to that little cherub, Mr. Aldrieh," Senator Money began. "I like his angelic face and I believe in iiis divine inspiration. Not one man of us on this side so far as I know, thinks of him oilier than a gentleman. "lint let me say to the Senator from Now York thai we do not care so much for his urtvico as he seems to think it necessary to give. VYe have not asked for it; we do not care for it; we spurn it after it is Riven. Ho is not yet warm in his seat before lie begins to tell me and the other senators whose services have been long in this body what we should do. To be sure, he is a distinguished man. We all know it. The Republican press has said so. He himself does not deny it." Hy this time Root, sitting twenty feet away, had his face buried in his hands. Senator I)epew hurried to his sid" as if to console him. Ity some sort of telepathy he seemed to know the worst was yet to come. It was. "For generations this body," went on Money, "has gone about the business of the nation in its own peculiar and yet simple way. We, the senators coming from their States elected by the will of their people (emphasizing 41ho will,' and inferring that Root had been elected by one man only), have tried in our humblest way to settle our different: I cs 111 ;i way neconung to senators ol I a mighty republic. 1 have discussed situations and have delivered speechos which I shall continue to do be| cause my countrymen sent me here to do so. "Yet this senator ? never before having served n a legislative body within the first few days of his existance bore, attempts to tell me how 1 shall proceed with my work." "The distinguished and very learned attorney from New lOngland might well go back to his home State and, like Kip Van Winkle, proceed to the Catskills and sleep for twenty years, and if be should come buck he would know more then than apparently he knows at this moment," concluded the Mississippiun. "And lie won't be missed, mean1 time," said Tillman. Hoot sat like a chastised child. Hut his punishment was not finished. Lal-'oletto rose as Money ast down and said: "1 have never been a corporation attorney, never attempted to protect questionable concerns. But I wish to say here that I shall speak on whatever subject, and object to whatever tax proposed in this body without consulting the Senator from New York. 1 care nothing for his advice; 1 do care for the good will of the people who sent me here."
