AFAMILY OF THIEVES.
If the Allegations Against the thinner

If the AIIegations Against the thinner
mans of Smith Co. are Correct.
A sad faced poorly clad woman with a
little child in her arms aud three little
girls following at her heels appeared in
the United States district court room yes
terday.
The children were clad in cheap coarse
clothing and it required the constant at
tention of the woman to keep them
quiet, for they did not realize their sur
roundings. She spoke to them in Ger
man for she does not talk English.
The woman's name is Della thinner
man and she lives in the little town of
Tyner in Smith county. She is charged
and her husband, George w. thinner
man, and son Fred and adopted son, VIM.
Bailey, have been in Jail for several
months on the same charge. The prose-
cution will try to prove that they broke
into a postoffice with the intention of
committing theft.
On the 9th of last May the store in
which the possoffice was located at Ty-
ner was broken open and a large guam
tity of goods carried away. The build
ing was then fired and burned. The store
belonged to S. B. Boggs who had pur-
chased farm from Zimmerman, only a
few weeks before. Much of the gro
ceries taken from the store were found in
a cave near the Zimmerman home and
the entire family was arrested on sus-
picion. They were tried at the session of
the district court in Smith county and
the jury disagreed. The case was then
turned over to the federal authorities.
Mrs. Zimmerman secured bail but the
rest of them have been compelled to re-
main in Jail because they were unable to
furnish bond.
The case will be commenced late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning

SHIPPING BICYCLES.
New Regulations by the New York Central
Favorable to BIcyclistR

new 4SeS uISttons by the New York Central
Favorable to BIcyclis.s.
The difficulty experienced by the
travelling public, and the COM laints
arising from same, in having to execute
releases on all occasions when transport
ing bicycles or baby carriages, has caused
the New York Central & Hudson River
Rv to take the initiative in adopting
plan which obviates all difficulties and
satisfactorily arranges for the carriage of
such articles.
The plan decided upon is for the use
of bicycle and baby carriage ticket,
which is procured from the ticket agent
at the same time that passenger ticket
is bought, at minimum charge of fifteen
cents for 35 miles and a maximum
charge of 81 for 440 miles. These tickets
are in two parts, the upper part bearing
a contract to be detached and handed to
baggage master with bicycle; the lower
part or Identification card, also contain
ing contract to be retained by owner or
person in charge of bicycle for presenta-
ton to baggage master at destination
when claiming wheel.
The contract contains an agreement by
which the owner of the bicycle or baby
carriage releases the railroad company
from any liability for loss or damage to
the said articles.
The ticket does not require the sigma
ture of the owner of the wheel and is be-
lieved to be a systematic and convenient
plan for handling the popular vehicle.

"To what am I indebted for the honor
of this call ?"
1t was Mrs. Mary Ellen Ricketts, who
spoke. She held in her hand the card
of Mrs. Samantha Jenkinson, which had
just been laid on her desk by the Office
girl, for the card was followed almost
instantly by the entrance of the person
whose name it bore.
There was really no necessity for the
use of the card, either, for the two had
frequently met
Mrs. Ricketts, was the candidate for
Congress on the Republican ticket,
while Mrs. Jenkinson was the Demo-
cratic nominee. Under the circum-
stances it was natural for her to be
surprised at receiving a call from her
opponent.

health. He was in the seventy eighth
year of his age, and had been failing
since last summer, when he suffered
from q severe attack of nervous
prostration superinduced by the eX'
treme heat.
He improved after that time, and
those who saw him driving about the
city in his carriage, entertained
hopes of his ultimate recovery and
long years of usefulness in his I'M
portant Office.
Saturday he seemed better than
for some time, and his friends com.
mented on his improved appearance.
He was taken sick in the night,
however, and while Mrs. Isaacs was
preparing a stimulant for him he fell
upon the floor, and expired before
his sou, Mr.. w. B. Isaacs, Jr., who
was hastily summoned, could reach
his side.
Mr.. Isaacs had been for many
years the Grand Secretary of the
Masonic grand bodies of Virginia and
Grand Recorder of the Grand En-
campment of Knights Templar Of the
United States, and was, therefore,
one of the most prominent and
widely known Masons in Virginia.

The United States Circuit Court,
sitting at Richmond, Va, this week,
rendered decision adverse TO Judge
Golf in the South Carolina registra
ton cases. Golf is Republican and
so intense partisan, that he did not
hesitate to prostitute his high office
to score point in favor of the Re
publicans of South Carolina when
required by them to do so few
weeks ago. The superior tribunal
fortunately believes, that the States
have some rights which federal judges
are bound TO respect and says, that
the Federal Courts shall not be used
as instruments to advance the for
tunes of political parties. The de
cision of Judge Golf prohibiting as
il did the registration officers Of South
Carolina from performing the duties
imposed upon them by the laws OF
the State, thereby virtually under

negative of sovereignty-that of call

body in Virginia ought to remember
only with contempt, never went SO
far in interfering with the local
affairs of a people as did this man

closing address before the council
He spoke at some length on the line
of the clergy, and especially reminded
the young preachers that they shoulc
be patient. He told them not Il
preach sensational sermons, but
preach the doctrine of the gospel
and out of it would spring the ELI
cheney Of the Christian believer
Preach, said the Bishop, sermons
on the atonement, on duty on re
lig;on, on future Judgment, on inn
morality, and try to preach then
better every year. Grapple the grea'
truth and let the people see that L
comes fresh from the anvils of YOU
mind. Have one purpose and develop
that purpose in your sermons"
Bishop Randolph said the ministers
should impress upon their people
their duty of reading the Bible, anC
the ministers should also devote theil
time to unfolding the word of God t(
their congregation, and then they
would soon realize that the Bible /!

The Other Lee.

The visit of General Fitzhugh Lee

himself several ago, and which is a
good illustration of the love the Con
federate soldiers bore toward General
Robert E. Lee. AS it is we'll known,
General Fitzhugh Lee was at the
head of the cavalry, which was much
envied by the infantrymen, who had
to walk through the mud and dust.
After General Robert Lee had sur
rendered, General Fitzhugh Lee rode
away from Appomattox. When
riding through lane he met an old
North Carolina soldier.
"Ho, theren cried General Lee.
Where are you going2n
I've been off on furlongh, and
am now going back to join General
Bob Lee" replied the old soldier.
You needn't go back, but can
throw your gun away and return
home, for Lees surrendered.
Lees surrendered?
THAT'S what ! said,n said General
Lee.
sit must have been that damned
Fitz Lee, then. Bob Lee would never
surrender And the soldier put on
a look of contempt and walked on
