Street Car Employees Forced TO Pay
Car Fare.

Considerable dissatisfaction was ex.
pressed yesterday among street car EN-.
ployes and strike was freely advo-
Gated. The cause Of the trouble was the
taking from all employees Of the com.
pany the badges which entitled them to
ride on the companys cars. All en-,
ployes are now compelled to pay their
fares the same rs outsiders. Motor men
aud conductors are still allowed to ride
free. but car repairers, linemen and
switchmen must pay their fares. 1t was
rumored yesterday that the rule would
be extended and that all employees when
not actually engaged in their work
would have to pay their fares. The
new rule was made last Saturday.

Aiken County Stirred Up,

The Augusta Chronicle, of last Wed
nesday, says news was brought to that
city Of terrible crime that was sup.
posed to have been committed in AK
en- County by two black fiends, one of
| whom is now in the Aiken Jail. Ac.
cording to the Chronicle about two
| weeks ago Diana Miller, fifteen year
old colored girl, who lives out in the
| country about ten miles from Aiken
| with her parents, two respectable col
| ored persons, went out for walk, aud
TOR several days nobody knew where
she had gone.
! Her people became alarmed at her
prolonged absence and collecting few
friends together they commenced tC
scour the woods as foul play was sus
pecled. After searching for quite a
while several of the party came across
a bundle Of clothes on the bank of a
creek, which upon investigation proved
TO be those OF the missing woman
| The clio hes looked as if they had been
torn from the body of the person who
wore them. as they were almost torn
into shrecs, and were scattered all
around this spot
The ground was also torn up as If
there had been violent struggle, and
there were several rags, part of the
dress. hanging from some bushes near
by. 1t was learned that the body of
the dead girl was found several hun
dred yards down the creek from the
spot where the struggle was supposed
TO nave taken place and was taken to
the house of her parents and was bur
led
Upon discovering that foul play had
6een.' committed, jeff Craig and Lon
Boyd, TWO negro men, were suspected
of having outraged the unfortunate
girl and then drowned her in the creek
near by. An officer was called in and
he Immediately went to the houses of
the two negroes to arrest them. He
crested Craig and carried him to Ak
en- where he was lodged in jail until he
could be given preliminary hearing;
but Boyd must have got an inkling of
what was going to be done with him
as he escaped to parts unknown and
left no clue behind by which to trace
him,
Boyd's running away certainly looks
as IT he was connected with the crime,
and the Aiken county authorities will
make every effort to apprehend him.
The negroes as we'll as the whites of
Aiken are very much excited over the
brutal murder, and are determined that
the guilty parties shall be punished to
the very fullest extent of the law,

Mystery of q Prison.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 27,-There
is a mysterious priso ner in the peniten-
tiary. He was sent there upon a charge
OF having stolen horse and buggy
from CovinEton and goes by the name
of Thomas st. Clair. He ad mits that
the name Is assumed, and chafes bit
terly under what he considered unjust
imprisonment. He refuses to divulRe
his name on account of the prominence
of his family and because he has two
daughters at Vassar College. Heis un-
doubtedly man of refinement and
wealth and comes from Ohio. He has
a stepbrother, a social outcast, and it
is believed that st. Clair Is suffering
now for the misdeed of this man. st.
Clair claims to have been an evangelist
and to have written the words and music
OF number Of gospel hymns. He says
that 1t his true name were known it
would cause decided sensation. The
prison haplain says that st. Clair re-
ceiyes numbers of letter from promin-
ent divines. st. Clair claims to be the
author Of the celebrated poern beginn-
ing of should die tonight" the auth
orship of which was at one time accred-
tied to Henry Ward Beecher. The
half-brothers, who is supposed to be
the cause of all of ct. Clair's woes,
resembles him closely, and St. Clair
says upon the night the theft occurred
in Covington, he (the prisoner) was in
Columbus, Ohio. An effort Is now be.
ing made to have the prisoner pardoned,
and aflidavits have been sent to private
individuals Of Frankfort from promi-
nent Ohio people, which will undoubt-
edly have weight with the Governor.
