ROBBED ON THE HIGHWAY
A JEWISH PEDDLER BY TWO
COLORED MEN
and an Open Faced Gold Watch
HIS Story of the Robbery

A highway robbery occurred Monday
at $50 p. m. about three miles
from the city on the Mt. Airy public
road. The deed was perpetrated by
two negroes, aged about fifty and
eighteen years.
Sam Brick, Jewish country ped
dler, claims to have been robbed OF
$40 so and an open-faced gold watch.
He says he was knocked insensible
during the struggle.
Brick arrived at Citren baum's cloth
ing store on Main street about 100
o'clock last night where he remained
until this aftern Don, when he and
Jailer Ziglar went to the scene OF the
robbery to hunt for the culprits.
The peddler tells the following
story Of the robbery:
Il had been out for some time on an
expedition through the country and
was returning to Winston | had a
leather purse in the breast pocket OF
my vest and some small change In my
pocket. a negro boy, about eighteen
years old, came up behind me carry
ing a tin bucket. The boy stepped up
to my side, and, holding a knife in his
hand, told me to hand him my money.
l did not comply, thinking that he
was testing, whereupon he cut at me
inticting only flesh wound In my
right side.
''Seeing that the fellow meant bust
ness, handed him the change in my
pocket. About that time the older
negro seized me by the back of the
neck and threw me to the ground,
binding my mouth so as to prevent
my giving an alarm.
They quickly rified my pockets,
taking my watch and purse OF $40.
They left me insensible."
Brick says he don't know whether
they opened his pack or not. He
thinks it highly probable that they
did, as he was insensible for more
than two hours.
He has several scars about his face
and appears weak and much exhaust
ed. He is about % years old and
weighs 125 pounds.
There is no clue to the guilty par
ties

Joe Jackson, the man who carved

THE WHITE STOCKING.
Rumored The: the hite Stocking
Will be Enthroncd Again,

There are rumors In the air that a
decree of fashion viii soon be issued
for the Punishment Of black or colOred
stockings and the restoration of the
good OldfashiOned white stocking so
typical of purity, neatness and mod
ty. The New York Times devotes
column editorial to the subject and
closes with this paragraph:
with the return of the white stock
ing we shall probably see an Immediate
decrease in the number and aggres-
siyeness of the strOngminded women.
The gentle, refining influence of the
white stocking will be everywhere
felt. 1t will be once more, as in the
past, the emblem of innocence and
the badge Of true w0manhood. Scien-
tif1c men may speculate eagerly upon
the causes OF its return, but the aver
age man will have no room for any
thing but gratitude when he sees the
white stocking waving from Il thous-
and clotheslines, and knows that the
day of the black stocking has forever
passed away"

The Registers Review Of the Past
Week.

The sales of leaf tobacco at the elev-
en- loose leaf warehouses for the week
ending Saturday, were quite large,
sales blocking Thursday and Friday.
Nondescript and undesirable goods
were the principal offerings, while
here and there was seen sprinkling
of colory goods. There was a larger
quantity of damaged tobaccos put
out than has been exhibited at any one
time this tobacco year, and caused
the passing by Of such piles. Wrap
pers are very scarce and are bringing
good prices. There was good show
ing of filters, both common and me-
dunn, which caused an easier feeling
and slight decline. The market for
the week was generally easier over
that of the week before last, percep-
tible decline on some grades being
noted.
Sales at the eleven loose leaf ware
houses for the week amounted to
!, 237, $40 pounds. Manufacturers had
a very dull week, the aggregate ship
ments of plug and twist amounting to
considerably less than 100000 pounds.

GEORGE n. PULLMAN.
The Man Who is Being Boycotted By
railroad Employees

1 The Chicago Evening Post gives the
following brief account Of the rise OF
George Mortimer Pullman, president
! of the Pullman Car Company, Pull
man, H., against whom boycott is
being waged in several States:
Mr.. Pullman was born March 5,
1881, in ChautauQua county, New
York. His parents were poor, and
his education was limited to what he
could learn of the rudimentary
branches in the district school. AT
the age Of IA he went TO work as a
clerk for country merchant. he
kept this place three years, studying
bion, n. Y, and worked for his
brother, who kept cabinet shop
there. Five years later he went into
business for himself as contractor for
moving buildings along the line Of the
Erie Canal, which was then being
widened by the State. He was sue
cessful In this, his inventive mind ap-
plying to the work mechanical princi-
pies never before used in that way.
In 1853 he came to Cnichago and
engaged in the business of moving
and raising houses. This work was
novel here then and he was quite sue
cessful. About this time the discom-
Tort attendant on travelling at night
attracted his attention. He reasoned
that the public would gladly pay for
comfortable sleeping accommodations.
few sleeping-cars were In use at
this time, but they were wretchedly
crude, uncomfortable affairs. In 1859
he bought two old day coaches from
the Chicago & Alton road and re-
modelled them on something like the
general plan CT sleeping cars OF the
present day. They were put into SER
vice on the Chicago s. Alton and be-
came popular at once. He saw the
possibilities of the business, but he
had great difficulty IN inducing CAPT.
talistS TO join him.
His propositions were laughed at
He persevered, however. and In 1863
built the first sleeping car, resent bling
the Pullman cars of today. 1t cost
BIS, 700 and was the Pioneer. After
that the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany prospered. It had shops at
different cities. In 1850 the town of
Pullman was founded by Mr. Pullman
and his company. Mr.. Pullman lives
at Eighteenth and Prairie avenue
His family consists of his wife, two
sons and one daughter, Florence
Another daughter, Harriet, is Mrs
Frank ]. CarOlan. His wealth Is esti-
mated at S25, 900, 900.
