AN ODD REQUEST.
AUGUSTA, GA, 'MaIcd I3.-Charles T.
McCay, A. NJ, LII. D., who died in Balti-
more yesterday, was at one time professor
of mathematics of the Georgia State Uni
versity at Athens. Afterward he engaged
in the banking business in Augusta, and &C
quired small fortune. Many years ago be
conceived the idea of making a liberal be-
quest to the state university. He lad not
sufficient money at his command TO
make a bequesJ commensurate with his
desires. Twenty years ago he turned over
to the treasurer of the board of trustees of
the university 100000 in Georgia railroad
per cent. bonds, with the stipulation that
the money was not to become available
until the death of the children of the chill
1ren, grand chlldren), of an Athens family
which was on terms of intimate friend
ship with the donor. The calcula5 zion was
that the principal and interest
of the bequest would become available to
the college in about ninety-nine years from
the date of the instrument, which interest
being c)mpounded would give 70 the college
the princely sum of over $1,000 600 This
bequest DR.. McCay kept a secret from his
family, and only two Intimate friends were
aware of 1t, they being bound not to reveal
it during his life. One Of them is resident
of Augusta and narrated the fact to the
NEWS correspondent to-day.

HIS REPUTATION AS A LAWYER.
What Chauncey M. Depew Thought
OF Mr.. Cleveland's Legal Ability.

OF Mr.. Cleveland'S Legal Ability.
From the Ne,o York Star
"Ihe new law firm of which ex-President
Cleveland is a member made no mistake
when they offered him generous share of
their lucrative practice" said a friend to
me yesterday afternoon. 81 know" he
continued that many persons VINO have
only known the ex-President as a statesman
have little knowledge of his ability as a
lawyer. About ton years ago | was in
Buffalo, shortly after the death of Judge
Lanier, the counsel for that district for the
Vanderbilt railroads When the judge died
he left to succeed to his business two young
men who were bright but rather mex
perlenced in the profession. Chauncey NJ.
Depew, then the general counsel of the
roads, went TO Buffalo and offered the
vacant position to Mr.. Cleveland. The
salary was $4,000 a year. Mr.. Clevels nd
promptly declined the offer. He said that
he could not afford to accept it, as it would
necessitate his being out of town some por-
ton of the time, and his own practice
paid him as well or even better. But he
counseled Mr.. Depew to give the two young
men the position. This Mr.. Depew declined
to do.
"'rhen.' said Mr.. Cleveland, after little
thought, Il will tell you what / will do
These young men understand the details Of
the work. With their help will take the
place until such a time as they can secure a
partner who will meet with your approval,
and will then turn the work and salary over
TO them
"'I'll do it, said Mr.. Depew, and he did.
A few months later the partner was Sc
cured and Mr.. Cleveland relinquished the
work. DO you think Mr.. Cleveland would
have been offered that place unless he had
been an adm rable lawyer, and do you
think he could have afforded to refuse 1t If
his abilities had not been generally recog-
nzed"

Three Masked Men 60 Through a
Country Store in Great Style.


Three Masked Men 90 Through a
Country Store in Great Style.
From the Nepc York Sun.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 10.-Since the
disappearance of Frank and jesse James,
Dick Little, and the Younger brothers from
northwest Missouri, there has not been a
robbery so bold as one which occurred last
night at Forb S, town of 500 inhabitants,
fourteen miles north of st. Joseph.
About o'clock three men rode into the
town, and tying their horses about fifty
yards from the general merchandise store
of 5. A. Young, proceeded at once to the
store, where about twenty men and boys
were talking of an attempt at robbing the
safe the night before.
The three men wore dark masks resem-
bling eye shades, and as they entered the
door cried out III chorus: Throw up your
hands, you - - -N
The amazed crowd saw six revolvers
levelled at them, and instinctively obeyed.
One of the robbers, turning to Charles
Scott, a clerk in the store. said: 1--WE want
you to open that safe.n For fully five
minutes the outlaws kept the crowd at BAY
81 cannot" replied Scott, 'for the knob
to the combination was broken in an
attempt to rob the safe last night, and an
expert is now in town, from st. Joseph, to
eopen it."
open the money drawer, then" replied
the leader, and the trembling clerk did as
ordered. While the other two men kept
their revolvers leveled on the crowd, the
spokesman rided the pockets of the crowd,
but did not secure more than $50, refusing
TO take the silver watches
From the mouey-drawer about SO in
change was taken. Nothing was said dur
ing the hold-up, and as the highwaymen
started to leave the spokesman said:
IF single man leaves the house for ten
minutes we will fad him out and shoot
him.
The three men then rode rapidly away
and the thoroughly frightened crowd did
just as they were ordered The safe at the
time contained about $500 in money aud
some jewelry, and it is supposed that the
robbers knew of the unsuccessful attempt
to break it the night before.
The parties to the hold-up were evidently
not those who attempted the burglary, for
the leader was apparently not aware that
the knob of the safe was broken.
No clew to the robbery can be obtained,
and the proprietor of tho store was absent
at the time entertaining the expert, who,
luckily, had not yet completed his work.
