RUN OVER BY a STREET CAR.
A Ten Year-Old Boy Loses a Foo
While Stealing a Ride.

A Ten-Year-Old Boy Loses a Foot
While Stealing Ride.
Robert Winn, white boy about ten
years of age. was run over by car No. IS of
the City and Suburban railway at Liberty
and Barnard streets Saturday night about
10 o'clock. One wheel of the car passed
diagonally across the boys right foot. and
crushed in such q manner as to require its
amputation yesterday morning. Drs. Boyd
and Schley performed the operation.
Winn and companion of about the same
age, named Waters. were stealing q ride on
the front platform of the car. and as Con-
ductor York started to the front door just
before reaching the curve both boys jumped
Off. Waters fell under the car, and before
the driver could put on brakes one wheel had
passed over him. The conductor took the
boy on board and carried him to the COM
pany's Office, from where he was removed
to his home, on Montgomery street, near
Duffy. Sup. Alley went for DR.. Elliott,
surgeon of the company, and took him to
ths wounded boy. The physician dressed
the wound and afterward turned the case
over to Drs. Boyd and Schley, who decided
on amputatIon as the only means OF saving
the boys life. Last night Winn was rest
ing quietly, and there are hopes for his
recovery.
The accident, it is claimed was unavoida-
BILE on the part of the railroad company,
and was the result of the lads fool-hardi-
ness. Small boys are continually jumping
on street cars to steal rides for few blocks
and with the chances they take the wonder
is thar more serious accidents do not occur,

RAIL AND CRossr TIE.

A New York dispatch tells the following
about a big order given the United States
Rolling Stock Company for cars which will
be filled by the company's works at Decatur
and Annis on, Alabama: Judge Lacombe,
in the United States circuit court, msoe an

The South Carolina railway authorities
recently mad stations built along their line
for the accommodation of several of the
phosphate companies. Each one of the
stations was made to answer for four distinct
corporations. Difficulty arose over the Sc
lection OF suitable names for the places; the
companies were anxious to have the stations
named after their works, both as a matter
Of pride and as an ad ertisement There
can be no better advertisement than every
time the station is reached to have the
brakeman yell into the ear the name of some
brand OF phosphate. The ingenuity of the
oIlclalS soon Iounu way OUT Oh the trouble
and pretty names are the result. One of the
stations was built for the Ashepoo, the
Edisto, the Etiwan and the Atlantic works,
and by taking the last syllables of each of
these names was formed Poo-to- wan tic.
The other station was named after the
r val, Imperial, Stone, Chicora and Wando
works, the name being Al-no-ra-do The

THE USE Of TEE TONGUE.
Father Woodman Appeals for 1
Better Use by the People.

Father Woodman Appeals for Its
Better Use by the People.
A large congregation filled st. Patrick's
church yesterday morning at the high mass
to hear the sermon of the eloquent young
Paulist Missionary, Rev. Clarence E. Wood
man. 1t was fine effort, and the only re-
greet expressed by the congregation was that
the sermon was too brief. Father Wood
man did not speak more than fifteen min
utes, but in that time he delivered one of
the finest discourses ever heard in ST.
Patrick's.
Els theme was on the guarding Of the
human tongue. From the uabridled and
careless use of this organ of the human
being, said Father Woodman, can be tr aced
nearly all the troubles Of mankind. Above
all things, he begged his hearers to never
speak anything but the truth.
IAN honest man." said he, lean never tell
a lie. for its stigma would burn indi snantly
through the thin glazed covering Of his
cheek. A lie is never excuSabe under any
circumstances. 1t is said that there are two
degrees of untruth, manslaughter and muir
der. The former generally leads TO tae
latter. Speak the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, no matter what
may be the cost. Beware of small inaccu-
racies. Excuses result in subterfuge. sub
terfuge in equivocation and equivocation in
lies"
Father Woodman then drifted to the sub
ject of blasphemy, and he handled the swear
ers with ungloved hands. "a man who
habitually takes the name Of God in vain,
said he, ''is nothing more or less thSn 6
brainless imbecile. Some persons thinl
they show their cleverness by the use Of
oaths, vulgar language and powerful ex
| pletives, but if they knew how they ap
peared to others they would realize how
lacking they are in human intelligence"
Father Woodman closed his sermon by
appealing to his hearers TO resolve hence
| forth and forever to use their tongue
only in proper and Christian manner auC
| for the honor and glory Of God.

TIE oADsDEN EMBazzLEM EMIT.
All Sorts of Rumors, But No Positive
Further Developments.

Further Developments.
There were no further Developments in
the Gadsden sensation yesterday. The en-
bezzlement was the principal topic of con-
ve-satiOn on the streets, in the
clubs and hotel lobbies. EVERYBODY
discussed it. horne folks and strangers alike.
Nearly every one in the city expected that
there was some financial cro1kedness at the
bottom Of the suicide, but few mad any idea
that it reached such proportions, and when
they picked up the MORNING. NEWS yester~
day and read the figures, SlOO,OOO, 1t
startled them.
The questions propounded on all sides
was: What did he do with so much money
in such short space Of tinei Were his
transactions all losses and no gailsr 1t
would seem that an affirmative answer to
the last question is the only one.
Many doubt IL the embezzlement stopped
with the 500, 900 from the bank, and there
is a general impression that other parties
are involved. There are all sorts of rumors,
and most Of them are difficult to trace One
party is said to have loaned Gadsden a con-
siderable amount Of money en- his note
as an accommodation. As a matter of
course the note is worthless and the money
gone beyond recovery. The owner Is said
TO have been a personal friend Of Gadsden,
and trusted him 81 implicitly that ne con-
sidered his note as good as god.
1t was the great faith in Gadsden's hon
esty which caused all the trouble. Know
ing that every one had implicit confidence
in bis integrity he took advantage of it,
satisfied that be would not be discovered
and that he would enrich himself and have
enough left to cover any irregularities.
Capt. Hammond a5 first could scarcely
realize how matters stood. For twenty
three years Gadsden had been the trusted
employe Of the Merchants bank, and his
betrayal of its confidence was hard to be-
ueye

roo OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES PIE


A small boy sat on the top OF the fence.
And thought he --as quite bright fellow,
For lie counted the days till Thanksgiving
time,
And he counted the pumpkins yellow.
And he said. as he sat In royal state
On top Of the fence SO high.
"A pumpkin pie most highly rate.s
And he mused on the pleasures OF by
and by.
And now near at hand wsf Thanksgiving
Day,
And the kitchen was all In a whirl,
Aud his mother was busy AS busy could be.
Likewise his aunt and the servant girl.
To take pie, this small boy intended,
For what was one pie moro or less;
No doubt his mother would be offended.
But who the culprlt. she'd never guess
His chance soon came. for neighbor
came In
To ask for the loan of the rolling pin.
And when none were looking or stand
This dreadful boy ran OF with pie.
The pie was hot and burned him so,
And running 50 fast he stubbed his toe,
That over he fell, hot pie and all.
And loudly did for his mother call.
She sadly looked at her pride and Joy,
And separated pie from boy;
He cried very hard at having done wrong.
But he knew he'd cry more before very
long.
Noxt day at dinner all wondered why
This small boy was debarred from pie;
But his mother and he alone knew the

AND he more than kept bis word. Ths

And he more than kept his word. THIS
young Southern girl often marvelled al
his fatherly interest and kindness.
Often she would find him gazing ut heI
with tears In his eyes and when he spoke
to her his manner seemed more gentle
than when he addressed his own dauRh.
ters.
No one save Roma herself knew the
measure of his affection for her. He
seemed to keep n certain secrecy In II
and to hoard 1t in his heart He de-
lighted TO anticipate her every wish; he
could not bear to see a cloud upon her
face. He could not bear to sec her sit
apart. He seemed to fancy that she felt
a slight when there was none Once his
attention was attracted by the diamond
locket to which she had clung through
all her misfortunes. When she showed
him the picture 1t contained, telling
him II portrayed her father, his whole
frame shook with emotion and he hur-
ried from the room without a word
Rena's life was thus very happy
onr. Mrs Warresby was as kind as the
Colonel, treating her as a cherished
daughter, while between herself and the
children of the househod-her little
charges-there sprang up strong mu-
tual affection. At length q
year had passed away. Another Thanks
giving Day had dawned and Colonel
Warresby lay dying An ins,dious dis
ease, against which his iron constitution
had struggled long, was about to prove
the victor. When the doctors told him
that he had but a few more hours-per-
Eaps only few more minutes-of life,
he desired that Miss Mention might be
summoned to his bedside.
AS she approached tears fell from his
eyes, and In broken voice he said: "My
poor child, can you forgive the murderer
Of your father? Can you clasp the hand
that slew him in the pride and vigor of
his noble manhood We fought hand to
hand at Vicksburg, and he fell. Can
you forgive me as trust God has done,
for having made widow and an orphan?
You are silent. Oh, II you will but say,
i forgive you,' this will, indeed, be a
Thanksgiving Day to me, for your words
will lift dreadful burden from my
heart shall feel more than ever the
love and goodness of God, and my soul
will go out in Thanksgiving to him for
having answered the prayer which has
been hourly upon my lips since youh rst
crossed my threshold"
AS Rena listened her heart went out
in love and pity to the man who had
been to her second father. She for
gave him freely In the name Of him who
was the divine forgiven of injuries
II have nothing to forgive" she said,
when she could trust herself to speak,
her whole soul glowing in her magnif-
cent eyes and throbblng in her sweet,
low voice. "You were not a murderer,
but a brave soldier, doing your duty as
my father was doing his. II you have
deprived me of him you have filed his
