LIKE A TALE OF THE PLAINS.
Joe Morrissey's Thrilling Experience
With Masked Highwaymen.

Joe Morrissey's Thrilling Experience
With Masked Highwaymen.
Joseph Morrissey rushed into the MORNING
with a story that equals that Of the Five
mile post express robbery
Morrissy said he had been held up and
attacked by six white masked highwaymen
near the crematory at 10 o'clock last night.
Nine shots were fired at him, and one
passed through his shirt, just missing his
body. Morrissey showed the hole in his
shirt to prove bis assertion. He said that
he and eleven other men went out in the
country with man named Harris
to buy horse. Just as the party reached
the crematory, six mon wearing domino
masks. Sprang out on the roadsand.present-
ing pistols at the crowd, ordered all hands
to halt Instead of obeying the horse -pur-
chasers broke and rRne. with the highway
men in pursuit.
According to Morrissey they caught him
and demanded his money. He told them he
didn't have any, and they pulled his hat
and coat off and began going through his
pockets. While they were doing this he
knocked one of them down, but was warned
not to do it again by having pistol thrust
at his head. The masked men then began
choking him, and one of them fired a pistol
at his breast, the ball passing through his
shirt.
Morrissey. frightened at the turn events
had taken made a supreme effort and broke
away from his captors, they pursuing and
firing at him. Some of the party after the
shooting went back and found Morrissey's
hat and coat lying Oh the road, and several
letters he had in the pockets scattered
about
The highwaymen disappeared as suddenly
as they bad shown up, and although the
party made an apparent search for them,
no trace could be found.
There is no DOUBT, from the frightened
appearance of Morrissey. when he arrived
ct the MORNING News Office, together witt
scratches on his throat and neck, that h
had been "held up" but the probability il
that the affair was practical jose ar
ranged beforehand, aud were hand-in-glovt
with the b rse-purchasing party.
Morrissey said he had in his pocket
recommendation to Postmaster Doyle fol
an appointment in the postoffice. and thi
was the only thing that was stolen.

KEPT OUT OF SIGHT HERE
TaB CONEY ISLAND CASrAWAYS
ON TdEIR WAY TO NEW YORK.

Eva Jew I'll and Her Companion, Thorn
ton, Glide Through sevannah and
Sail for Home on the City of Birming-
ham-They Spent Tuesday Night 10
the City, but Where Nobody Knows.
Samuel W. Thornton and Eva Jewell
who mysteriously disappeared from Coney
Island Aug. 81 and were supposed to be
drowned, and as mysteriously turned up in
Jacksonville couple of days ago, left Sa-
vannah yesterday morning for New York
by the City of Birmingham.
Their mysterious movements here puts the
same verdict upon their little tale as in
Jacksonville and that Is that they are Civ
ing the public and their relatives in New
York IN particular "ghost story"
Although they arrived here at 80 o'clock
night before last from Jacksonville, they
did not register at any of the hotels, or II
they did iU was under assumed names. The
same thing happened in Jacksonville the
first night OF their arrival there.
The hotel registers were searched for their
names Tuesday night and yesterday morn
ing, but without success. They were not
seen until aboard the City of Birmingham.
They asserted that the story they told in
Jacksonville was true. aud that every
thing was all right, The people
of Jacksonville did not s6elieve
it, however, and the general opionion is
that Thornton and Eva skipped out of New
York together, and their money giving out
they put up the story of being carried out
to sea to blind their relatives and obtain
money TO get back home.
The story, as told by the castaways, Of
their being carried out to sea, picked up by
one Spanish vessel and transferred TO an
other, which Landed theul on the coast Of
Florida, has already been told in the MORN
ING News dispatches. Also, how Pull
man car conductor gave this story
black eye by telling Thornton
and every one else that the couple
we're passengers on his car from New Or
leans the day before, and that they passed
as man and wife. Had it not been for this
Thornton and Eva might have passed as
the hero and heroine of a great romance.
Their failure to register at any hotel in Sa-'
vannah Tuesday night looks rather strange.
The couple seemed to feel assured that q
warm reception Is awaiting them on their
return to their homes in New York, and
| doubtless they are right.

GOOD-BY TO SUMMER.
The Sun Crosses the Line and Autumn
Begins.

The Sun Crosses the Line and Autumn
Begins.
Summer ended yesterday and to-day fall
begins.
Sept % the sun "crosses the line." This
is highly important episode in the career
OF that luminarv. Or rather, it is marked
and significant event In the physical annals
of the earth, for. of course, it is the earth
and not the sun that does the moving. II is
more convenient, however to consider. in
popular descriptions or explanations Of such
phenomena, that the sun moves and that
the earth is stationary, and this notion is
usually deferred to.
A st. Louis astronomer, writing of the
event, goes on to show how there are four
well-deined points in the path which the
sun traverses in its apparent yearly Journey
around the earth-the equinoxes and the
solsticeS. The eQuinoxes are the places
which the sun passes on March 90 and Sept
%, and the solstices are the spots touched by
the sun on June 81 and Dec. 81. Each two
OF the same order are thus about six
months apart
At the equinoxes the nights and days all
over the globe, outside of the immediate
neighborhood Of the poles, are approx
mately equal. The term Is derived from
the two Latin words OsQuuS and nor, which
mean equal night" The word solstice
comes from the Latin sol, the sun, and ststo.
to stand. They are the standing places of
the sun.
At each of these solstitial points the sun,
as viewed from the earth, seems to stand
for few days. and then for six months it
appears to move in an opposite direction
from that traversed in the preceding six.
These, as may readily be understood are
natural divisions of time, but they do not
coincide with our civil divisions. Each of
these four points marks out the boundary
lines betwesn the seasons, but they are not
recognized in or calendars
When, in popular phrase. the sun 'crosses
the line" or Crosses the equinoctial," it is
meant that the sun seems to pass that part
| of the ecliptic, or earth's orbit. cut by the
| equinoctial. 1t should be understood that
the equinoctial is an imaginary line across
the heavens coinciding in direction with
the earthS aouator
