CINCINNATI, Oct. 2O,-Charles A. Nor
garfield. the suspected train iobDef,
showed no signs of weakening Friday,
although when approached by Chief
Deitsch's secretary Doc Draper, he be-
came quite tall<ative. After general
conversation Draper asked him If he
knew what he was held for.
II haven't any idea." was the reply.
"You are thought to be one of the
Acquia creek train robbers"
my God Is that so? Do look like
train robber and do ! look like one?"
he excitedly exclaimed
"Where are you from?"
81 would rather not tell, as 1 don't
want any of my folks to know where

"Give me the names of some of the
places where you have been, so I can
write to them. This will show that
you are not guilty"
"Never mind; I'll do my own writ
ing"
Then the only thing left for you to
do is to prove your innocence.
II don't have to prove it"
"Where did you come from before
you met with your accident?"

CITY,"
He proved, ina further general con-
versation, to be well educated, shrewd,
and having the delicate instincts of a
gentleman. In another conversation
with Detective Callahan he said he
had left Washington on a freight
train and went to Cumberland;
thence to Pittsburgh and Colum-
bus, and was on his way
to Cincinnati when he received his
injuries. To the detective he said that
as he neared Chester park he prepared
to get off the train. The atmosphere
was very foggy and he could not see
we'll, as it was not yet daylight. When
he swung out from the car and let GO, he
could not see where he was going to
land. He struck the side of the en-
bankment, his foot landing in hole
and causing him to break his leg. He
rolled down the hill aud lay there for
five hours before any one came to him.
At 10 o'clock Detective Witte went
to the hospital to measure Morganfield.
A fiashlight photograph was taken Of
him, which is to be sent to Washington
for Identification.
The Adams Express Co. created some
surprise by applying, through their
attorneys, Ramsey, Maxwell & Ram
sey, in the court of common pleas, for
the money and paper found in Nor
ganfield's possession, the former con-
sisting of $50 in gold, S119.15 in silver
and copper and $1,o31 in currency.
The court was informed that the po-
lice authorities and Col. Deitsch re-
fused to relinquish it to the plaintiffs,
as they wished to hold it as evidence
against the prisoner, with whom it
would be transferred to the court hav-
ing jurisdiction in the case. Deputy
Sheriff Germany attached it at noon on
an order from that court.

Death of a Venerable Citizen.

Another aged and venerable cltllen
has "passed over the river to rest under
the shade of the trees" from which no
traveller has ever returned, and which,
by faith, has been seen from afar." we
ailuda to the death Of our townsman, Mr..
John w. B. Shelton, who died at his
home on Main street last Saturday after
noon. after a brief but painful illness, in
the S3rd year of his age. Mr.. Shelton
had been a remarkably healthy man
throughout his life, and was never con-
fined to his bed by sickness any great
length of time. "A few weeks ago he was
stricken with some affection OF his kid
news and bladder, and he soon realized
that his condition was serious. Nothing
in medical skill could re ieve him, and
death came at last as welcome visitor.
Mr.. Shelton was born November Sth,
1911. in the section of Anderson County
known as Rock Mills. He spent his
whole life in the County, and at the time
of his death was the Oldest native citizen
living in this section. In Septemcer,
1886, he married Miss Eliza G. Yandiver,
whoSurvives him, having lived happily
together for nearly ffty- eight years. IN
1882 Mr.. Shelton settled four miles west
of Anderson G.. H., where he farmed sue
cessfully until 1867, when he moved into
this city. In 1853 he joined the Baptist
Church at New Prospect, and atterward
moved his mem bership to the Anderson
Baptist Church, and during. period OF
forty wears lived an upright Christian
life. He was kind husband, strictly
honest in all his dealings with his fellow
men. and o kind neighbor in the full
sense of the term. He was one OF that
past generation cf sturdy, frugal, indus
trious and honest men who make peo-
ple truly great-whose honesty was born
Of principle and not Of policy.
He was member Of Hiram Lodge,
No. 6s, A. F. M, for forty-two years, and
was ever ready to respond to the call OF
bis brethren, and to lend helping hand
to the needy and deserving. He was
man who never let his left hand know
what his right hand did, and many
kind act that he performed was known
only to himself and the beneficiary.
On Sunday afternoon, at o'clock, the
funeral services took place in the Baptist
Church, being conducted by the pastor,
Rev. o. L. Martin. The spacious church
was crowded 10 lis utmost seating capaol-
ty. The remains were in charge OF the
members of the Masonic Lodge, who, at
the conclusion of the services at the
church. escorted their deceased brother
to Silver Brook Cemetery and there In,
tered them with their impressive and
beautiful ceremony. We join the many
friends of the venerable wife In express
ing our sympathy to her in her bereave-
mont.

The lecture Of Rev. J. B. Hawthorne,
D. D., of Atlanta, in this city last Wednes-
day evening was listened to with great in
terest by an audience of nearly three hun.
dred people. The subject was "Men and
Women" and our only regret is that it
was not heard by every man and woman
in this city, for we are confident they
would have been benefited. He gave
three essential elements as necessary to
make a true mau or woman-industry,
salf-coptrol and moral courage-without
which none can attain success or great.
ness. He spoke In graceful and fattering
terms of woman in her proper sphere,
characterizing her as ''man's angel" But
for woman without her proper sphere, as
in politics, he had only words of strongest
condemnation, and characterized such q
woman as "monstrosity." He is strong
ly opposed to woman rights" as now
contended for by many of the so called
advanced thinkers. His advice to young
men and women was wholesome and in.
structive. His subject throughout was
handled in mastery style, and bristled
with wit, anecdote and we'll put sarcasm.
The Sunday School orchestra furnished
music for the evening, and it, too, was
highly enjoyed.
Mrs. Laura T.. Todd, wife of Mr.. A. N.
Todd, died at her home in this city last
Sunday afternoon, after painful illness
of about seven weeks, in the 34th year of
her age. Mrs. Todd was a daughter of
Rev. J. l.. Healan, of Lenoir, N. c., and
was married in 1884 to Mr.. Todd, who
was then citizen of Bolton. She grad
uated with honors from Davenport Fe-
male College, at Lenoir, and was lady
of many noble virtues and accomplish
ments. In early life she joined tho
Methodist Church, and was most
devoted and exemplary member, and
through faith in her Redeemer triumphed
over the fear of death. Several days pre-
ceding her death she realized that the
debt, which no mortal can shirk, would
have to be paid, and she gave touching tes-
timony how dear to her heart in the hour
ofdeath was "the precious name otJesus." "
There is balm for every wound, and to
the stricken husband and two sittle chill
dren with other loved ones who are left
to cherish her memory, there comes the
nexpressibly sweet sense Of infinite gain
for the dear sufferer, who is DOW at rest
in that eternal home with the angels.
She had been resident Of Anderson
only few years, but during that time
she had made many warm friends, who
deeply deplore her death. On Sunday

TWO EXPERIMENTS
GEN. HOWARD AND REAR ADMIRAL
 GHERARDl.
Their Retirement from the Army and Navy Leaves Two Important
 Vaeancis.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Today the name of Gen. Oliver 0. Howard, com mander of the department of the east with headquarters at Governors Island, New York, was placed on the retired list of the army by the opera ton of the law, the General having
 reached the age limit for active ser vice. Tomorrow will occur the re- tirement of Rear Admiral Gherardi, the senior officer on the active list of the United States Navy, and now in command of the New York Navy Yard Naturally two changes of such importance, occurring almost simultaneously, as it were, creates
 much interest in army and navy circles, especially among those in line of promotion. The retirement of Gen. Howard creates the first vacancy in the rank of major gener- als since the death of the famous Indian fighter, Gen. George Crook. Rear Admiral Gherardi's retirement will occasion a number of promo lions and transfers among the higher officers of the navy and the proba- Utilities are that Rear Admiral Wal ker will be assigned to the command of the New York Navy yard although
