SET THE BRAKES.
Small Boys Monkey With the
Big Freight Trains
And Bother the Engineers to Climb
the Grade at WateriIle.
Alma Man Seriously Injured While Breaking a
Jam Of Logs.

WArEEyIiLE, April Is Special. The
train hands on No. Al, which reached here
from Augusta Mondsy night about e o'clock,
caught several boys who climbed on the
freight as II came up by the Head of the
Falls. The capture solved mystery that
has bothered the men for some time 1t is
a hard grade here, and on several nights
the train has come to standstill when the
engine was about at the College avenue
crossing.
Moniay might the men found several
brakes partly set up when near the upper
Front street crossing. This looked rather
strange and after look around six or eight
boys, from ~ 10 Is years old, were discov-
cred running over the flats and bark cars.
They jumped of but were overtaken and
given "A solid warning not To repeat the per
fornance. The boy. had evidently been
in the habit of climbing upon the cars, when
on the grade, and working at the brakes.
This probably accounts for the trouble
that has occurred here on some nights The
boys were allowed to 20 bat they are known
and & repetition of the trick will result in
their being brought up in the municipal
court. They take the chances of receiving
a course at reform school for such actions

AGAINST WORLDS FAIR.
Attorney general OIney Makes Ruling Uniavor.
able TO the Exposition.

CHIcAGo, April ls.-The Record tomor-
row will say that dispatches from Washing
ton announce that Attorney General Olney
has ruled against the Worlds Fair on i'm
portant questions recently submitted by the
Exposition authorities.
The principal point raised was that as
Congress made an absolute gift of 50 800
900 souvenir coins to the Worlds Fair, it
was not within the province of the subse-
quent Congress to attach condition to this
absolute gift by withholding part
of the appropriation until the security
given for repayment of a portion of the
appropriation.
According to information received from
leading treasury official Mr., Olney hold
thar one Congress can qualify the acts of
previous Congress by attaching conditions
to gifts and apppriatons.
