AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
And When 1t Was All Over the Station
Agent Mendrd 'Ehings.

And When 1t Was All Over the Station
Agent Mended Things.
AT a way station on the Louisville and
Nashville one winter the station keeper
had an exciting time. 1t was midnight,
and the station being in deserted part
OF the country had been left by the loaf
ers. 1t began to rain. The station keeper
was not sleepy and determined to sit up
greater part of the night, especially as
he had an unusual sum of money in his
cash drawer, and he felt uneasy aboutit
Robberies of stations and farmhouses
down the line had been frequent. So he
settled himself down to vigil. AS he
felt hungry he took can of cove oysters
down from the shelf and set it in the
stove. A moment afterward there was
knock at the door, and he admitted a
cold, drenched tramp, whom.he allowed
to lie down by the fire. just then train
came around the bend, and the station
agent stepped outside to display the go
ahead signal. He felt distrustful of the
tramp and feared that he would fool
with the money drawer. AS the train
passed he hurried into the room and had
scarcely opened the door and seen the
tramp standing by the stove with so1ne-
thing glistening in his hand, when there
was report, and the agent felt sting
ing sensation over his eye.
Although blinded with blood from the
wound, he drew his pistol and fired five
times into the room. He then dashed
round to the rear of the station and hid
under the platform. After an hours
time he crawled out, resigned to the loss
of his money and thankful that he had
escaped with his life. The room was
dark; the fire was out. The tramp had
evidently escaped with his booty. Sor-
rowfully the agent lit match, but
instantly dropped it when startling
sight met his eyes. He lit another one,
found a candle and gazed about at the
scene of desolation.
The lamp had been shattered by a
bullet. A cheese had been perforated
with two bullets. The room was filed
with smoke from the stovepipe, which
fourth bullet had perforated. Strangest
of all, the room was filled with cinders,
and oysters frescoed everything. Oys-
tiers, oysters, oysters, cove oysters. The
agent gasped and realized it all. The
can had remained in the stove too long,
and being sealed up had exploded from
the steam when the tramp poked the
fire. Of course the tramp skipped when
the shooting commenced. The cash
drawer was intact A piece of tin was
found near the door, where it had re-
coiled off the agents face. The agent
spent the remainder of the night in
mending the stove door.-Louisville

An Ancient Phenomenon.

Josephus, the Jewish historian, re-
lates that the following phenomena ap-
peared just at the beginning of the war
that ended in the destruction of Jerusa-
lem by the Roman army under Titus:
"a comet, which bore the resemblance
of sword, hung over the city of Jeru-
salem for the space of a whole year. "
A short time before the revolt OF the
Jews, most remarkable and extraor-
binary light was seen before the altar
of the temple. 1t happened at the
ninth hour of the night preceding the
celebration of the Feast of the Passover,
and continued about half an hour, Civ
ing light equal to that If day. Igno-
rant persons thought this good omen;
but those of superior judgement
thought that it was prediction of ap-
preaching war. The eastern gate of the
interior part of the temple was compos-
ed of solid brass, and was IF such an i'm
mense weight that it was the labor OF
twenty men to make it fast every night.
1t was secured with iron bolts and bars,
which were let down into large thres.
hold consisting of an entire stone.
About the fifth hour Of the night this
gate opened without any human assis-
lance. Some persons thought this a
good omen also, but others thought that
it predicted the success of the enemy
and the destruction of the city, A short
time after the celebration of the Feast
of the Passover, before the setting of
the sun. the appearance of chariots and
armed men were seen in the air, in vari-
GUS parts Of the country, passing around
the city (Jerusalem) among the clouds"

Property DestrOyers--A Notice Found on a
Gin House Yesterday --They Should
Be Prosecuted.
From the Macon News.
There is a class of meddlers develop
ing in some portions of the country that
ought to be made to mind their own bus
mess or given term of state service
with a striped wardrobe.
They delight to call themselves ''white
caps" but ''damnable meddlers'' would
be more appropriate name.
A few days ago two gin houses were
burned in jones county. Three or four
thousand dollars worth of the hard
earned property of honest and industri-
Gus farmers, destroyed, presumably by
white caps" Today a gentleman from
the same section sends the News the fol-
lowing notice, scrawled on sheet from
memorandum book, which he found
posted ON his door:
LODGE No. 365.
Mr.. GINNER:-Please stop your ma
ctinery until cotton goes to 10 cents a
pound. Don't let US have to notify you
any more. WHITE GAPS.
The deprecations of those so-called
White Caps are creating considerable
excitement over the country and they
should be arrested and handled without
gloves by the courts. They are a serious
menace to public interest and are ruth
less and reckless destroyers of private
property. They are not good citizens
for good citizens would never participate
in such outrages. A man who ever
owned gin himself or it's value IN any
other kind of property made by honest
toll would never stick a torch to another
mans, or assume to dictate other peo-
Piles actions.
Gin owners are alarmed over the inter-
ference of these unknown parties, and
several have been heard from who are
thinking of shutting down their gins en-
tirely.
