MAKE CONNECTION NOW.

Change of Schedule on the Asheville
street Railroad Co.'s Lines.
The schedule that has been in opera
tion on the lines OF the Asheville Street
Railroad company for several weeks,
expired Saturday night, and Sunday
morning brought the restoration of the
old rule. whereby the cars on the various
divisions make connection at the square.
Under the recent schedule passengers on
some of the lines had to wait for cross
town car five or 10 minutes. Naturally,
this was unsatisfactory. and the change
made Yesterday will be gratifying to the
roads patrons.
There has been curiosity on the part
of the riding public for the past few days
to get hold OF the multum in parvo
transfer tickets. described in THE CITIZEN,
and some have themselves transferred
merely to handle one OF the bits Of paper.

BANK CLERK ATTEMPTS MURDER
AND KILLS HIMSELF.

He Was, 1t Is Believed. Guilty of Steal
ing $500, and Was Being Cross-Ex-
amined When lie Fired on Two Gem
tlemen Present.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Dec. 17.-At II
O'Clock Sunday tragedy was enacted

lis, and F. H. Hayden OF Chicago, repre-.
sentativcs of the Fidelity and Casualty
company of New York, and then emptied
his revolver into his own brain, inhlct-
ing wound from which he died two
hours later. Cromwell and Hayden. it
is thought. will recover.
Huntington was one of the best known
men in Council Bluff. On the Goth OF
last uly check OF $500 was turlied
over to him by Ira F. Hendricks, one of
the employees of the bank, and has not
since been seen. The day following
Huntington left for vacation trip of
several weeks to New York city.
The bank officials kept thinking the
check would turn up sooner or later and
deferred any action. AS time passed on
and it became evident that the bank was
out $500 they sent a message to the Fl.
deity and Casualty company notifying
it of the fact and suggesting that inspect
ors make an investigation.
Messrs. Cromwell and Hayden arrived
in the city last Friday. They cross ex.

cred that he had been spending more
money than his salary of $l5 month,
which he was receiving would warrant.
and on this, together with the fact that
the check had been last seen in his hands,
they based th.ir suspicious.
Huntington and the representatives of
the Fidelity company met Saturday
night and made arrangements for an
other meeting of the bank Sunday morn
ing, when the Investigation WAS to be
resumed. At the hour appointed they
were together, and CROMWELL and Hay

JUSTICE CARTER's COURT.
Somebody Has His Vol. of the Code
Some Recent Cases.

Some Recent Cases.
Justice Frank Carteris just now going
it half.handed" in his court business,
and all because some one has carried ofl
his volume one of the Code.
The Justice. however. has had several
cases, among them one wherein
George Holmes. colored, was up
charged with being tramp. To be a
tramp is a violation of section 1928,
which authorizes anybody to arrest a
Weary Watkins or Wandering Willie.
Holmes had been trampinR about
Chunn's Cove and intimidating the
women folk. When arraigned he pleaded
guilty to vagrancy and was sent to the
road for 80 davs and costs.
Wade Heard. colored, was up on a
charge of embezzling 81 from A. G. West,
white. The charge was not sustained,
Heard heard himself discharged and the
costs were taxed against the prosecu'
tion.
Alex. Bristol, colored, was employed
Friday by Sam White to carry to the
latter's house two geese. Saturday
night the geese disappeared. and White
had Bristol brought before the Justice.
One witness swore he saw Bristol with
the geese, but Bristol contended it was a
hogs head and sack Of -four he saw
The evidence did not make a case, and
Bristol was discharged.

NOT A THROUGH TRIP.

Passengers For Jacksonville Have to
Stopat Columbia.
Although advertisement has been made,
semi-officially, that the train leaving
here on the Asheville and Spartanbure
road at $40 went through to Jackson
vile, Fla. before midnight of the same
day. the fact is sadly otherwise. The
train makes fair progress to Columbia,
s. c., where passengers for Jacksonville
are compelled to lay over till about 2
o'clock next morning, and then go on in
an ordinary dav csach-a very trying
trip for ladies and children. The journey
by wav of Augusta is little better than
this. There is lay.over arrangement,
but one can get sleeper early in the
evening there, and is LANDED in Jack
sonvile an hour or two earlier than
when going by the Columbia route.

How About 1t!

The Salisbury correspondent Of the
Charlotte Observer writes his paper
that "freight over tie Western North
Carolina railroad is very heavy now.
All the freight from the west for Colum-
bia. 5. G., and points south, which was
formerly carried over the Asheville &
SpartanburR road. Is being shipped by
the way Of Salisbury, thus making the
business over the Western brisk. The
Southern company, in the gobble up OF
roads some time ago, failed to get con-
troll of the Asheville and Spartanburg,
and it has been suggested that this
method has been adopted to freeze out
the road in order to get hold OF it."
