A soutl,asn Soldiers First Experience

 An Atlanta veteran was talking the other day to g Constitution reporter about his first experience with repeat i;' /, rife.

 My Yankee got the first shot, and missed me. As was only seventy-hve or one hundred yards away I thought I would reach him before he could load again, SO made dash for him. He stepped out from his tree and aimed, but l thought he was just trying to bluff, so didn't stop till he pulled down on me.
 "'My Lordr thought, that's the first rife l ever saw with two barrels!' I just halt d, but thought surely his gun must h empty now, so I started for him again.

So we broke the gun to keep the Yankees from getting hold O. it again."

THE OLDEST ENGINEER.

An Aurora (In.) Man Who Has Run
 Engine for Fifty One Years. road an article a few weeks ago about Gust Preston, the first engineer who ran out of Chicago, and who is still on the Rockford special on the Galena division, writes an Aurora Ull.) corre- spondent of the Chicago Tribune. I can tell you about the oldest engineer prob ably in the United States. His name is William Mobley, and he lives in my town. He runs from Chicago to Geneva Lake, Wis, on the Chicago & North western. MT. Mobley first took charge of a locomotive nearly fifty-one years ago, and has been an engineer over since. He is said to have run the first engine on tho Baltimore & Ohio road, which was ono of the first railroads built in this .ountry. In those days little basket cars were used and walking beam engines, and it took two hours to go twelve miles on the old-fashioned strap track. If by any m.shap the cars jumped off the track Mir. Motley, who is still a stalw Tt man, w uld get off his engine and lift them on again. He has since run the sane engin at the rate of thirty miles an hour
 He e. rried President William Henry Harrison's message from Washington to Bal imore il. March, 1Si1, and often car ried the resident himself. During the late war he acted as engineer for the Federal Government. This veteran en- gineer Is near seventy years of age, but his figure is erect, he is hale and hearty, and his eyesight and hearing unim-. paired.
 It is related of him that recently some of the railway officials asked if he was not a little too old for such service, ex- pressing fear that he would not be able to get his trains through on time. By way of reply the old engineer invited them to ride with him, and the way he rushed them over the road made their hair stand on end and fully convinced them of his ability.
 c. H. Frisbie, of Aurora, another old engineer, ran tho first engine ever taken into Chicago by rail. He went out at the time of the great Burlington strike and has been idle since.

 TRENTON, N. J., March 20.-Thsrs is quite @ fight in the Legislature between Princeton and Rutgers colleges. The Senate passed . bill . week ago pro- viding for free scholarship at Rutgers for one youth from each of the Assem- bly districts. The student is to be ss- lected by competitive examination. Rutgers was chosen because it accepted the State aid offered some years ago, which Princeton refused. The cost to tho State will be $12, ,O00 year. The bill came up in the Assembly in the morn. ing, and tho friends of Princeton ral- lied against it.
 There are six Princeton graduates among the members, including Assem- blymen Williams, Wyckoff and Wool. man. Assemblyman Voorhees, is . Rut- gers graduate, and he fought for his Alma Mater. Several of the Princeton trustees were here asking for . hearing, and it was for hearing that Princeton contendsd. President Gates, of Rut- gers, has been here almost all the ses sion, and Princeton charges that he has been lobbying on the floor of the As sembly. After . short, sharp fight Princeton won, and the bill went over until Monday.

cessful attempt was made late Friday
night to rob the north-bound passenger
