graved sword, beautifully worked, the

the day Of his death, when it passed into
the possession of his daughter, now Mrs,
w. L. Mccarthy Miss Wainwright,
learning of the existence of her gallant
fathers sword, expressed a desire to Sc
cure it. Mrs Mccarthy being informed
of Miss Wainwright's wishes, and recipro-
eating the feelings, readily expressed
her willingness to surrender the sword

NERVY TRAIN ROBBERS.
Two Unarmed Outlaws Disarm Three
Officers and Escape.

Marion, Miss, Jan. 2.-Just before the
arrival of the northbound train this
morning City Marshall Scott was wired
that two suspicious characters, suspected
of being the parties who robbed the train
on the Alabama Southern road two nights
ago near York station, were on the train
and to arrest them at Marion. He arous-
ed Sheriff Darrah, but the train arrived
here before the officers got to the sta
ton. They met two men ON the plank
walk which leads to the station, but had
no reason to think they were the ones
wanted. Arriving at the depot Deputy
United States Marshal McCuen got into
hack to head them off, and Sheriff Oar
rah followed them on the walk. Scott
and McCuen halted the men, and what
next occurred is slightly mixed. One of
the robbers seized Marshal McCuen sud-
denly, disarmed him, and holding him be-
tween himself and Scott, ordered the lat
ter to throw down his gun. Scott could
not fire without hitting McCuen and
obeyed orders. The second robber then
picked up Scott's shotgun and halted
parrah, who came up at that time.
Scott and McCuen were poweress to do
anything further. With one robber point

who are so by no fault OF their own
Now the good work the Home is doing
Is continually manifest. The need OF
just such work is continually being
shown. The wisdom of the founders
and those VINO have carried it on is be-
ing demonstrated year by year.
Following Rev. Dornblaser
REV. 5. B. BARNITZ
spoke very intertainiugly and instruct
lively on the endowment fund. Follow
is the substance of his remarks:
Total received for current expenses
the last sixteen years, S36.491.44; pre-
vious records having been burned in
the Grant House fire. The Home does
not take children TO board, or receive
aid from taxes or municipal funds, bat
is dependent for support upon the low
ing sympathy OF the charitably dis.
posed.
There is an Endowment Fund,
started about 1872. Neither principal
nor interest has been used. The fund
has therefore increased, and requests
lately received have brought 1t up TO q
very creditabe sum. The aim of the
Home, though, is TO continue accumu-
lating until an ample amount is obtain
ed, and then proceed to wider useful
ness. II is felt that the economical and
conservative way in which the Home
has been conducted is an earnest or the
future, and makes this Endowment
Fund worthy OF consideration on the
part OF those who have been blessed
with means, TO remember the fund by
gift or legacy.
THE Home looks 10 all for daily help
and yearly subscriptions, with the
united prayer that Heaven will continue
to bless our endeavors to care for the
orphaned, the destitute aud the uutor-
tunate"
