TWO DAYS WITHOUT AN ARREST

The Police Having Remarkably
Quiet Time Since Christmas,
Fifty-two hours without an arrest is a
record which few, if any cities, of Savan-
nah's size can show-a record unheard of at
police headquarters for many years.
: The MORNING NEWS published the fact
yesterday that from s o'clock Saturday
night until midnight Sunday there hadn't
been any arrests, and the record was not
broken until after o'clock last night, when
two drunken men were brought in.
Sergt. Reilly said he had never remem-
bered such an occurrence before since his
connection with the ssrgeants desk, which
covers period of over ten years.
No better evidence is needed that Savane
nahs morals are improving.

To-day the express robbers, DeLaughter,
Turner and Perkins, will be tried for their
robbery OF the Southern Express car on
the Central last September, and their
attack upon Express Messenger Coulter.
The prisoners will be first put upon trial for
the robbery, and afterward for the assault
upon the express messenger. They will be
represented by T. s. Morgan, Jr., ESQ.,,
George w. Owens and Judge d. A.
OByrne. The plea of the defense will be
robbery by intimidation, coupled with a
claim of insanity for DeLaughter. The
state will be represented by Solicitor Gem
eral Fraser and Hon. f. G.. duBignon, and
will fight the plea Of robbery by intimida-
ton on the ground that the firing of the
pistol at Express Messenger Coulter makes
out clear case of force. The penalty for
the first crime is only five years. but for
the latter twenty years. II the prisoners
are convicted Of both robbery by force and
assault with intent to murder their sem
fences will probably be equal to life i'm
prisonment, as the penalty for assault with
intent to murder is ten years itself.
No business was transacted in the supe-
rior court yesterday. Several cases were
assigned for trial, but they were continued,
because the attorneys weren't ready.

he said that he was going to California. He
was pulled out and put on the lighter Amy

his debauch, and was landed on the south side

got across the river and into the position
in which he was found.

A writer in the Pittsburg Post tells a
picturesque story to illustrate the fearless
ness OF certain conductor, Brown by
name, on the narrow guage Bradford.
Bordeu and Kinzua line in Pennsylvania.
A freight train which Brown was in charge
OF got beyond control coming down a steep
grade OF couple of miles or so into Brad
ford. Then says the writer: The pace of
the train increased, and then the engineer
and brakeman, realizing the danger,
jumped. Conductor Brown stayed with
the train. however, and seemed to enjoy
the situation. In half a minute the train
had acquired q frightful velocity and was
plunging down the steep declivity and reel
ing around the curves in frightful
manner. But in that half minute
Conductor Brown had Skinned over the
tender into the locomotives cab and then
into the cabs roof. Swinging himself onto
the roof of the cab he balanced himself on
his pedal extremities for a moment. and
then while the engine was lurching, plunE-
ing and straining beneath him he reversed
conditions and stood on his head. As the
runaway twisted like a flash around the
curves Conductor Brown was liable TO be
flung to certain death. He managed to re-
tain his balance, however, and kicked his
legs in glee as the metal monster beneath
him sped down the grade at 60-mile-an-
hour gait. 1t was an un-
paralleled sight; the conductor
OF a runaway train standing on his head on
the locomotives cab. The few persons who
saw the strange sight were amazed, as we'll
they might By miracle the train es-
capped deratlment, and as the train ap-
preached Bradford and struck easier grades
its speed sensibly decreased. It was only
then, when all danger was past, that Con-
ductor Brown got on his feet again, and
swinging himself down into the cab re-
versed the throttle and succeeded in bring
ing the train to stand just in front Of
where the union station now stands in
Bradford.

TROUBLE RENEWED.
Eight Hundred Miners Are Dissatis-
fled and Refuse. to Work.
THE OTHERS NOW IN THE MINES.
Monongahela Diggers Will Not Be Asked to
Take Reduction.
JONES AND LAUGHLINS' REDUCE WAGES

The strike of the miners of the Pittsburg
district is not entirely settled yet. Yester-
day the 500 miners employed on the Toms
Hun and Essen branch of the Pittsburg,
CHARTERS and Youghiogheny Railroad are
still out The trouble there is that the op-
orators will not agree to give the men their
old places as a whole, but reserve the power
to discriminate The strikers say they will
not go back unless every man Is given
work.
In nearly all other parts of the district
the miners have returned to work, and
no dissatisfaction has been reported.
The report that the 500 miners employed
in the Monongahela river mines would be
asked to take reduction in wages is SEEM
ingly without foundation. Samuel Reed,
of the Alps Coal Company, said yesterday;
"While it is rather an imposition on the
river operators to have to paytheir dlggers
one-half cent more than the railroad oper-
ators they cannot afford to make the reduc-
tion. If they did the men would likely
strike. A strike at present would not effect
the operators as they have from 10 OOO, 600
to 1900, 600 bushels of coal on hand to
supply the local trade, but we are ex-
pecting rise in the river almost any time.
If the rise comes that amount of coal will
not amount to much, so it can be easily seen
that it really would not be to the advantage
of the operators to make the reduction.
The Coal Exchange held a meeting yes
terday, but the matter of reducing the
wages of the river diggers was not brought
up, and the operators were all OF the same
opinion as MI. Reed.

terday afternoon and he very freely gave
the following information:
''About 100 plans are now in. We will
not receive any more, unless it is in some
case where there has been an accident and
it was impossible to get the plan in. We
are Just starting to-day to get the designs in
shape, and although there is large forge of
men working we will not be ready to throw
the hall open to the public's gaze before
Monday Nearly all of the plans cover
from to % sheets of paper, making in all
about ], 200 pieces. We have the racks so ar
ranged that each plan will have just as good
a chance to be seen as another, and I am
sure the people will be surprised when they
examine them to find such great and mag
nifcent collection. 1t can be safely said
that it is the largest and best assortment
that was eyer brought together in the

CLIMBING A SACRED MOUNTAIN.
Two Superstitious Japanese Guides Disem
bowel Themselves in the Ascent.

Two Superstitious Japanese Guides Disem-
bowel Themselves in the Ascent.
VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 5.-The steamer
Sussex, just arrived from Japan, brings
word that five English naval officers, on
leave, met with Americans, all brothers,
named Castleton, from Philadelphia, and
together formed a plan to climb to the sum-
nit of Full Yami, the sacred mountain OF
Japan, taking with them rockets and few
fireworks, which they intended to explode
when they reached it. Having secured two
guides, they started on their journey from
among a group of astOunded natives OF the
village of Katusho, Oh the west side of the
mountain.
The guides at the end of two days signified
their intention to commit suicide if the
party did not turn back and on finding their
threat had not the desired effect, coolly
walked in front OF the tourists and each dis
emboweled himself before their Mortified
eyes Both died instantly, and the Youngest
of the Castleton brothers, a boy of Is, i'm
mediately pulled out a revolver and blew
out his own brains. Sickened by this fear
full scane the rest of the party returned back
and descended the mountain, taking with
them young Castleton's body They were
forced, however, to leave it behind after the
first day, and after Lieutenant Brown had
repeated the burial service of the English
Church they threw it into a glacier crack
several hundred feet deep. After two more
davs of very hard work the party again
reached the level country.
