Hammond still Has Hopes.

Charles r. Hammond, who has been in the
county Jail over year ON q charge of grand
larceny, and to whom the supreme court on
Thursday refused to grant new trial, is very
much depressed in spirits, though he still has
hopes of escaping the penitentiary. When seen
last evening he declined to talk about his affairs,
saying that he had reason to believe that q last
effort would be made to free him of the charge
which hangs over him. The iailsr and deputy
sheriff, who have seen great deal of Hammond
and have talked with him during his imprison-
ment, are convinced that he is not guilty of
grand larceny, and believe that he is being rail-
roaded to prison On trumped-up charges pre-
ferred by hired perjurers of some of the English
aristoerats who figured in q scandal which was
exposed by the Pail Mall Gazette of London sew
eral years ago.

the check IN payment, which was accepted and
cashed, and after receiving the money he went
Of on drunk.
It was about o'clock when Austin presented
the check ut 2. c. Miles Co.'S store and an
hour later it was discovered that the check was
worthless Detective George Cave was inme-
diately detailed on the case, and when Austin
was finally found last evening he was so drunk
he could scarcely talk cohersntly. He had spent
about half the money, and what was left was
tsken from him and he was locked UP.
For long time Austin has been victim OF

Truth In the Ships Log.

During a certain voyage of a down
east vessel the mate who usually
kept the log, became intoxicated
one day and was unable to attend to
his duty. AS the man very rarely
committed tie offense the captain ex-
cused him and attended to the log
himself, concluding with this:
The mate has been drunk all Gay.'
Next dav the mate was on deck and
resumed his duties. Looking at the
log he discovered the entry the cap
tain had made aud eentured to
remonstra;e with his superior.
''What was the need. SIR" he asked,
''of pntting that down on the log ~
Wasn't it true ?" asked the captain
Eyes, sir; but It doesn't seem
neee sary to enter it."
"Weli," said the captain. ssince i,
was true, it had better stand: il had
better stand"
The next day the captain had occa
sion to look at the log, and at the
end of the entry the mate znade M,
this item:
''The captain has been sober Ill
day"
The captain summoned the mat.
and thundered: "What did yon mea,
By that entry Am not sober ever,
day 7"
"Yess cir but wasn't it true n
"Why of course it was true ~
"Well, then, sir" said the mate
ssince it was true, r think it had

The First American Railway.

The first railroad build in the United
States was three miles in length, ex-
tending from the granite quarrirs ut
Quincy, Mass to the Neponset River.
1t was commenced in 1926 and finished
in 1927. The gauge was five feet; the
rails were pine, a foot thick, covered
with hard oak, which was in turn
strapped with iron. In January. 1927.
a short coal road was completed from
the mines to Mauch Chunk, Penn.
The rallies on this road were also Of
timber with fat iron bars. The first
locomotive for use on a railroad was
invented By Richard Previteck in
S06 and first tried in Wales, George
Stephenson built the first really sue
cesstul locomotive in 1914, and tested
it upon the Killingwood road in the
north of England. The first locomo-
tive for actual service constructed in
America was NJ. |. Miller,s "Best
Friend," built for the South Carolina
Railroad Company in 1880; Peter
Cooper builta little experimental loco
morive early in 1880, befare the .sBest
Friend" was completed.

endeavoring to organise a church in
this place. Mr.. Cunningham, is a col
ored man, educated and IS fully capa-
ble to accomplish the good work that
he proposes. One of the objects OF
this minister is "to assist in the eleva-
ton of tie young people intellectually
socially and religiously' The fact
that the young colored people are be-
ing educated and able to read and
study for themselves is one that de-
mands breaches who are educated,
and able to preach in style more
suitable to their advanced intelli-
gence. This, Mr.. Cunningham, iudg-
ing from his conversation and manner
is fully capable of doing. He should
be encouraged in his undertaking.

Cansul Corte, who represented the
Italian Government, in New Orleans,
has returned to his home to report to
his masters the history of the lesson

March IA.
Unless the Connsul abides by the
tenets Of the ninth commandment,
when he arrives at Rome, more closely
then he did just before leaving New
Orleans. his story will not add much
to h,s reputation. When he claimed
that he saved the lives of Mayor
Shakespeare, Parkerson, Wicklitfe
and others, whom the Malta leaders
proposed to kill, by his wholesome
advice to them, he very much mistakes
the people of Louisiana if he imagines
that they will swallow any such pills.

1t was different advice. given by
other means that protected Shakes
peare, Patterson &c, from the MUIR

A wholesome fear, and certain
knowledge, that if Il single drop OF
blood drawn from one of those men
or from any other American, would
result in the annihilation of the
whole tribe of Italians in New Orleans
and perhaps in other portions of the
United States, that rendered the
hands that WELD the stilletto and
short guns powerless. The Malta,
whilst they consider assassination a
very nice thing, operated on somebody
else. have very wholesome fear OF

it did March IA.
