one of the negro deck hands edged away
from them and went into the engine room.
This aroused Captain Magruder's susp1-

caught hold of his sleeve and said:
Sam, come above deck with me-
Without a word the negro jerked loose
and jumped into the river. He had both
hands in his pocket, but as he jumped he
took one hand out but never made the
slightest effort TO save himself. The boat
was again showed off. but the man was seen

CONVICTED or KUKLUXING.
"A Tennessee Desperate Gets Twenty
One Nenrs in the Penitentiurx

Chattanooga. Tenn, May 11.-(SpeciaI)-
A case of peculiar interest is that of Will
liam Sylvester Harris, arraigned on five
counts for kukluXing, on four of which he
today received a concurrent sentence of
twenty-one years. The atrocious murder of
w. w. IngerSoll, merchant, on December
II. 1893. laid at his door. but could
not be proven against him. kukluxing is
defined under a Tennessee statute of thirty
years ago as an assault committed by a
person in disguise on the public road with
deadly weapon. Death is the extreme
penalty.
This is the first conviction under this
law, which long since became obsolete.
The statute deemed expedient as a
final resort because of the strong senti-
ment against the prisoner, who, when cap
tured, was in mortal fear of lynching.
Harris was undoubtedly the most desperate
character this community has known for
years. Numerous highway and murderous
assaults attributed to him as chief of
a gang of foOtpads operating here last
winter The strongest evidence adduced in
the murder trial was that of a sagacious
hound, but this could not be received un-
supported. The defense appealed their cases
to the supreme court.

A Freight Train Dnshcs Almost on to

Thomasvile, Ga, May 12,-(SpeclaL)-
The bridge over the Ochlocknee river, six
miles from this place on the Albany road,
was burned this afternoon and a terrlple
accident was narrowly averted only by
the skillful handling of a freight tram.
The freight which left here about ) O'Clock
came upon this burning bridge While run

bridge is just around a curve and the ilre
was not seen by the engineer until within
a few hundred yards of it. BY the quick

within a car length of the fire. Two car
lengths of the bridge was burned. The con-
struction train was sent out from here
ar once and the burned portion was re-
paired so that trains could pass at late
hour tonight. 1t is not known how the
fire occurred, but the general opinion is
that it was the work of ncendiares. No
train had passed over the bridge since
8 o'clock yesterday morning and ii the ire
had started from a spark dropped from the
engine of this train the whole bridge
would have been consumed long before 5

Montgomery, Ala, May 9.-(Special) IAN
incident full of sentiment and one worthy
a poets panygerics occurred on the Mineral
railroad near Dothan yesterday. An aged
and infirn old man was slowly dragging his
frail old body along beside the railroad
track toward Dothan, when he discovered IN
front OF him a burning treStle. 1t spanned
a small creek which ran between a preclp-
itous bluff on which rested the two ends OF
the trestle. The old man realized the situ-
alton. He knew a train might pass at any
moment On account OF sharp curve IN
the track just beyond the trestle toward
Dothan the engineer would have no notice
of the danger until too late to avert 1t.
The old man hurried to the nearest dwell
ling Nobody was at home, but he effected
an entrance and securing red blanket he
made his way back to the burning treStle
as fast as he could. Without any assistance
he smothered out the flames, after SIX or
eight feet of the woodwork had been burn
ed away, and then stationing himself be-
yond the curve, he waved the red blanket.
the signal of danger, and succeeded IN
tagging down the approaching train, which
was coming at a head-lOng rate and which
account of the grade, was not brought
to stop, despite the prompt action of the
engineer until the very brink of the
chasm caused by the fire. When the pas

who the old man was, but nothing can be

old fellow will. at least, be rewarded with
the consciousness of a good deed nobly
done.
