train robbers caught near Sanford arrived
here this afternoon and were met by large
crowd Of citizens, white and black. The
prisoners are Ben Harrison, E. f. Turner,
Charles Henry, Peterson Peter and Joe l.
Hanson. They did not look like dangerous
characters nor bold highwaymen. They
were taken TO the Orange county jail, but
were afterward transferred the cit
Jail. Saturday afternoon a stranger
came in on the accommodation train from
Sanford and inquired at once for barber
shop. Having found one he asked for a
clean shave Of all his beard. This attracted
SOME attention aud Policeman Carter ar
rested him on suspicion. He represen ted
that he has been in the lumber business, but
is still In custody. 1t is reported that this
man has made a confession, but the police
and deputy sherltfs are very quiet on the
subject. There are now $3.50 In rewards
offered for each one of the criminals, and
the hunt is very energetic and Jealous. The
county officials, it is claimed, are on the
right track.
SEVEN UNDER ARREST.

There are rumors that one man had such
strong suspicious aroused against him that

extort confession from him, but the ex-
pertinent failed. One OF the suspects at
Orlando is believed to be weakening, and
there are indications that he may turn
state's evidence soon and give the names
and whereabouts of his accomplices. All OF
the men under arrest are railroad employees,
but none of them worked for the Jackson
ville Tampa and Key West company, and
all are white.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE ORLANDO AR
REST.
An Orlando special says: "The
authorities have in the city jail
here man suspected OF being one
of the train robbers and murderers. He was
arrested Saturday afternoon In a barber
shop. He came in on a train from Cler-
mont and bought a newspaper in which he
read a description of himself. He then
went to the shop and ordered his beard
shaved off. IL is said that he made a cons
tession yesterday duplicating three others.
A full description of these has been pub
lished. Five suspects arrested at Sanford
were brought here this afternoon and takeu
before the suspect here alleged to have con-
fessed. No reporters were admitted but it
is learned that the suspect here declared
that these five from Sanford wore not the
guilty men. The Orlando people don't be-
lieve that the man in jail there has con-
fessed. The authorities gave out no in
formation, but ct Sanford a circular is
afloat with q description OF the other men.
The descriptions were secured from the
Orlando man. who is said to have con-

WHAT is TO BE DONE WITH CENTRAL
By the associated Press.


NEW YoRk, May ga meeting of
Richmond Terminal security holders was
held to-day to receive the report Of the
committee appointed last week. Gen.
Thomas, representing the committee, pre-
sented the plan, of which the following are
the principal points:
The Richmond Terminal Company is to
be wound up and be succeeded by new
company with $43. 100000 preferred stock
end $40, 100000 common stock; the present
6 per cent bonds to be given 40 In new
preferred stock; the present per cent.
bonds and preferred stock TO be given par
in the new preferred stock and the common
stock to receive par in the new common
and to subscribe for IS 900 900 collateral
trust 2-year 5 per cent. notes at 921z.
These notes are to be secured by the same
securities that are now pledged to receive
the floating debt and to be exchanged for
10 per cent. i'll new preferred stock.
WHERE THE MONEY IS TO CO.
II the plan is successful it is not proposed
to pay of the floating debt with the pro-
ceeds Of this assessment of about 10 per
cent. but to buy claims now held by bank
eys. and, if necessary, foreclose these claims
and take possession for the stockholders or
the component parts of the system. II the
full amount should not be subscribed by
the stockholders, the preferred stock will
then have the right to make subscription
for the balance and take the securities that
would have gone to the non-paying COM
mon stock, anf the common stock not SUBJ
scribing will have no rights to common
stock Of the new company.
THE GEORGIA CENTRAL STOCK.
The committee intends to submit to the
recent decisions of the courts in regard to
control of the Georgia Central company,
and will issue certificates of aliquit parts in
the holding of these stocks to each stock
holder, making him the actual owner
of his proportionate share, similar TO the
scheme carried out by the Chicago gas

TELEGRAPHiC SIGNALS.

amateur Operators Are Too Ready to
Jump ut Conclusions.
Persons familiar with the telegraph
alphabetical characters can converse
with one another at short range with
out the aid of telegraph instruments.
One person can make the characters
with the fingers, on the hand or arm of
another, and carry on rapid CONVERSE
ton Another way is to place the
blade of a table knife between the
tines of fork and make the characters
by moving the blade up and down.
Still another way, but one requiring
considerable practice to become prof.
-cient, is to make the characters by
opening and closing the eyes. A gen
tleman and his wife, both having an
expert knowledge of telegraphy were
at dinner in an uptown hotel; their
son, young man of about twenty, who
fatters himself that he has mastered
the art, joined them. As he sat down
the mother looked admiringly at her
boy, and with her eyes, in the way de-
.scribed, communicated to her bus band
the words: Rather fne;" meaning, of
course, that she was pleased with her
sons personal appearance. Master
Herbert's proficiency was not sufficient
TO enable him to catch the words, and
ne raised the point that conversing in
that way in the presence of other people
is as great breac oh of etiquette as
whispering; whereupon his mother
said: why, am perfectly willing you
should know what said;" and picking
up knife and fork began to rereat the
words She only got as far as rat"
when the young man thought he knew
what was coming, and shouted: 'Rats!"
Anticipating the words is common
fault with amateur tclegraphers.

Prehistoric Relics.

Messrs. Moorehead and Cresson, in
charge of the Worlds Columbian expo.
sition survey, engaged in investigating
the mounds at Chillicothe, O., have
come upon one of the most notable
finds in the history of such discoveries.
Recently a skeleton was found, with
such signs of rank in the way of ornas
ments and instruments, as to lead to
the conclusion that it was king whose
remains were discovered. On one dav
pne hundred and twenty copper objects
'F7ere found, consisting of fish, crosses
of various shapes, combs, crescents,
anllets, earrings, bracelets, etc. Such
a collection, for variety and finish, was
never found before. Such a resem-
blance to the work found in Mexico was
noted that it may be that primeval
man in Ohio and Mexico had close re-
lationship.

NEVER MISSED HIS AIM.
Man Who Could Rival the Sling
Throwers of Old.

A Man Who Could Rival the Sling
Throwers of Old.
It is supposed that we have no men
nowadays who could compete on even
terms with the old archers. A man
named Uri Bailey recently died in Penn
sylvania, says the Rural New Yorker,
who was worthy of a place with the old
time soldiers. His skill in throwing
stones was said to be marvellous. He
was mentally deficient, but giant
physically. His aim with stones at any
mark or game was as unerring as that
of the most slillful handler of the rifle.
He annually bagged scores of small
game-pheasants, rabbits, quails and
He could kill bird on the wing or a
rabbit at full speed almost as easily as
he could kill it at rest.
He had large leather pouch attached
to one side of his coat, in which he on
all occasions carried good supply of
carefully selected stones. An exhibit
ton of his skill which was always q
favorite with him was to set up
scytle blade, edge toward him, and at
the distance of one hundred feet cut
apples in halves by throwing them
against the edge of the blade. He could
almost exactly halve two out of every
three apples he threw. Robin Hoods
great feat of skill was to set up a
peeled sapling at considerable dis
tance and split it with an arrow.
We do not see that this is more diff
cult than splitting the apple on the
scythe blade.

spa,rows and IslncIshiras.

Birds, Notwithstanding their attrac-
tiveness in plumage andsweetness in
song, are many Of them great thieves
When nest building they will steal the
feathers ont of the nests of other birds,
and are often inclined to drive off
other birds from feeding ground even
when there is abundance. This is es-
pccially true of one of our greatest
favorites, the robin redbreast, who will
peck and run after and drive away
birds much bigger than himself. Very
different as the robin and the sparrow
are in other things, they resemble each
other in this. On an early spring
morning when q little touch of frost
still made the surface of the earth
hard, L have seen a blacllbird on lawn
at last after great efforts extract a
worm. and this was the signal for a
crowd of sparrows, who. by dint of
numbers, managed to drive away the
blaclSbird and carry off the worm, to
feed their own young ones, no doubt

AN INDIAN FIGHTER.
The Wide Reaching Influence of the Dime
Novel of America.

Inc HIue-Rehcntul influence OF inc Dime
Novel of America.
The Indian has always had deadly
enemy in the small boy, and doubtless
always win have, says the New York
Morning Advertiser. The reading OF
one dime novel is sufficient to implant
in the breast of the average youngster
the conviction that the Indian has no
business to live, and that it is his duty
to cXterminate him at the earliest pos
sible moment. The latest develop
ncnts go to show that the German
translation of thu american dime novel
will even stir the blood of German
boy away off in Hamburg. Ernest
Brandt, eleven years old, living in that
city, read an Indian tale or two, and,
not knowing that other boys had been
moved in the same way, he made up
his mind at once that the Indian was
indeed 4 warmth that must be re-
moved from the face of the earth. He
saw his duty, and at the first opportuni-
IL set out for America, determined to
begin the slaughter the moment he ar
rived. His disappointment was great
at finding no trail in Battery park, and
his disgust must have been considerable
when he found only wooden Indian
here and there on Broadway. After
keeping his eyes peeled, as they do in
the dime novels, and finding no indians
worthy of his vengeance, he went out to
White Plains, near Yonkers, doubtless
associating White Plains with the plains
over which the Indians roamed, and
took service on farm to await develop
mcnts. 1t was here he learned that the
Indians were farther west, and feeling
that he must sool make some of them
bite the dust" he stole the farmers
rife, gold watch, sleeve buttons and
other necessaries, and came to New
York to ''get his bearings previous to
starting on the western trail. A small
boy with a large rifle attracted the at
tention Of Bowcry policeman, and he
was arrested. His great scheme of
slaughter is frustrated, and for the time
at least the Indian is safe. The Incl
dent shows the wide-reaching influence
of the American dime novel, and the
dangers which constantly beset the
path of the redman.

A CLOSE SHAVE.
Three British Lads Who Were Caught by
the Tide.


J Mr.. f. II. Grundy, an Englishman,
who afterwards had plenty of adven-
lures at home and abroad, tells us how
ma n he came to missing them all. He
was a small boy, and, with his brother
and another mate, was playing upon
the seashore They were on a sand
bank, and knew that the incoming tide
would fill the lower levels behind them
before the bank itself would be covered.
We knew, but needed not. We heard
distant shouts, but did not turn. Be
tween the ever rising water and the
dam of sand the battle waged Some
thing startled us-we lo3Ied r1und-lo!
a great sea shut us OH from the main
land!
A crowd upon the farther side was
shouting at u.s. My two sisters stood
at the waters edge, fast becoming des-
perate. A mounted man, far away,
galloped furiously toward us over the
sands
My brother, with that presence of
mind in danger which makes each Eng
1ishman hero, started off at once by
himself, and was soon far ahead. Tom
Royle, my senior by three years, with
the brave hot blood of Welsh gentle
man, dashed after him. l, with the
sight of these gallant actions before
me, cried and followed l saw my
brother, the water to his waist, cross
safely.
Ton Royle jumped in with run and
disappeared; he had fallen. but was
out again directly. l passed him mean
while, and was in the water.
How far it looked to safety! The
water rose to my necl-I swayed to
and fro--but that l held on to my spade,
/ must have gone over.
Surely am in the middle now-I can
not stand much longer or any deeper.
am lost! No! 1 see my Jacket button.
The horseman dashes up to me and
stoops to lift me; l wave him on, say
ing: Il am safe; go to Toni"
Another step or two and am out
The horsenan brought Tom Royle over,
but it was a close thing. Youths Com

THE LAST GAR.
1t Has Come to Be Regarded as Unlucky
in New York.
scythe blad,


in New York.
The last car on trains going out of the
Grand Central station on the Hudson
River and New York G Harlem rail
roads is not as popular as it was before
the accidents of last week, says the
New York Times. For some reason
why, no one attempts to eXplain-the
last car had always been filed up first
with passengers starting for their homes
in the early evening. Passengers would
crowd into it and insist on seats in it
while the forward cars were quite
empty The only explanation that has
been at all evident is that, as the last
car in the train was generally the first
reached in going from the waiting
room, the weary passengers would
climb into it and drop into the first seat
they could find, not having animation
enough left after their business or shop
ping was over to walk forward to an
other car. Now, since it was the rear
car that was smashed into by the Chi
cago express at Tarrytown, on the Hud
son River railroad, and the trucks of
the last car which were thrown from
the rails in the accident at Mott Haven
junction, when the car was overturned
and the passengers more or less injured,
the rush has been for seats in the mid
die of the train, and the unlucSy last
car is given the go-by. The middle
seats in the middle car of train are re-
garded as the safest.
Patheric Story.
A very pathetic story is attached to
the death of seven-year-old Annie
Keefc, of Port Chester, N. Y. She was
playing follow the leader" her pet
dog being with her, and in scaling
picket fence she fell forward on the
pavement, her curly head striking the
curbstone playmate ran to pick the
little girl up, when she opened her eyes.
Seeing her pet dog beside her she raised
herself up, and, putting her arms around
his neck, said; 80, Dick, good-by, Dick!
Good.by, old fellow" Then the little
arms unclasped and the child fell back
dead. Her skull had been fractured.
