The particulars Of the hold-up are about
as follows.
Mr.. Rawles was an uncle OF young Will
bur Beaten. who died last week in this
city Mr.. Beaton carried 5000 insurance
on his life and the collection OF the in
surance at his death was put in the
hands Of Mr.. Rawles. These facts were
generally known at and near Schlatter-
Vile, the home of Mr.. Beaton and Mr..
Rawls. Yesterday Mr.. Rawls came to
WaycrOss on business connected with the
insurance on Mr.. Beaton's life.
The impression is that the rob-
bers were familiar with the
Information with respect to Mr..
Beatons insurance policy. conclud-
ed that Mr.. RaWls came TO Waycross TO
collect the $1,000 Of insurance, and they
determined on waylaying him on his re-
turn trip. When Mr.. Raw got near
Schlatterville. after leaving Waycross,
night was approaching. and in a thick
wood he was halted and covered with
guns by two masked white men. The men
threatened to shoot him n he failed to
turn over his money to them. Mr.. Rawls
had about $50 with him and he carried
Winchester rifle also. The robbers
searched his clothes and seemed to be dis
appointed on finding so little money They
evidently expected to get the Beaton in
surance money.
However. they helped themselves TO Mr.
Rawls' money and his rifle and after
warning him TO keep quiet about the af-
fair, they left him and disappeared into
the forest Night had come on, and Mr..
RaWls drove or home and got some of
his friends to join him in search for the
robbers. kilograms were sent to Way
cross and all along the lines of the Plant
system in Georgia, giving as accurate a
description as possible of the highway
men and requesting the officers to be on
the alert for the apprehension of the GRIM
inals. The robbery caused much excite
ment in the vicinity of Schlatterville and
every effort possible is being made TO cap
ture the other highwayman. Mr.. Rawls
is a merchant at Schlatterville, and he is
also postmas ter.

THE NEWS AT FITZGERALD.
A Chicago Journalist in TOwn-Great
Hotel TO Go I'D at Once.

Fitzgerald. Ca, March H.-Col. Strong
of the Chicago Tribune is in the city with
view to writing up Fitzgerald for his
paper. The people of Chicago are more
than ever interested in the south since
the Atlanta exposition. Col. Strong will
remain in Fitzgerald for several days, and
is having number of Photographic views
prepared TO illustrate the sketch he is
writing.
Mr. p. H. Fitzgerald has returned to the
colony with the plans for his new hotel.
1t is to cover seven lots on Main, reach
ing from Central TO Lee. The plan is a
nne one and is somewhat like the plan
of the De Soto In Savannah. The first
floor is devoted to parlors dining rooms,
billiard rooms, etc. The second and third
floors are chambers with all the modern
improvements. Everything is arranged
to make the guests comfortable and the
new hotel will certainly be an ornament
TO Fitzgerald. 1t Is to be of brick with a
stone foundation. The work will begin
at once and will be pushed rapidly to COM
pletion. Mr.. Fitzgerald also contemplates
building a business block containing seven
store rooms at the corner of Central and
Grant. The second story to this building
will be used for Offices.
Capt Miller has been in Fitzgerald to
try and make arrangements for the peo-
pie to ship more freight by his line OF
steamers from Darien. The freight rates
by water are, of course, much cheaper
than by rail and as soon as connection
can be made with the river by rail the col
OniSts will avail themselves of these cheap
rates. At present the railroad does not
connect Fitzgerald, and until the road is
finished, the colonists are cut off from
the river, as 1t would not pay to haul
freight from the river in wagons, but
when the connection is made. as it I'M
doubtedly will be within a year, Capt.
Miller will have to put on some new
steamers, that all may be accommodated.
Wednesday night occurred the marriage
of Miss Mary Ellen Finical and Mr. sgd
ney Claire, both of Fitzgerald. Rev. Tur-
ner read the impressive Episcopal service
The wedding was celebrated at the Bap-
fist church.
The new band stand is nearly complet-
ed. 1t is octagonal in shape and stands
at the exact center of the town. The band
is already one of the best in the state
The artesian we'll is begun, and all hope
that it will be finished soon, for Impotence
is the sign of interest, and all are GER
tainly interested in this enterprise.
The telegraph wires are up, and. all
that now remains to be done to connect
Fitzgerald with the outside world by
means of electricity is to put in the in

THE GIRL WHO REJECTED HIM
FLEEING FROM HIM IN FEAR.

He Followed Her From New York 20
IT. Augustine With the Intention
of Killing Her-she Takes a
Steamer Back to the Metropolis.
Detectives Guard Her During Her
stay ut Jacksonville.
Jacksonville. Fla, March 36.-Two young
ladies left for New York to-day on the
steamship Comanche. who have been try
ing to keep out Of the way of a man
who has been following them for weeks,
with the avowed intention Of killing one
OF them. The young ladies' are Miss r.
II. O'Hearn and Miss c. A. Smith Of New
York city. who arrived in Jacksonville
Wednesday night from the Alcazar hotel
at ST. Augustine. Shortly before the ar
rival Of the train Col. F. NJ Ironmonger
received a telegram asking him to look
out for the young ladies, as there was
a man following them, who had made
repeated threats to kill Miss O'Hearn.
Col Ironmonger met the ladies at the
train and escorted them to the ship,
where they were assigned room 81. They
remained in the room until this morning
and were not molested by the man.
To-day City Detectives Burgess and
Featherstone kept the young ladies' in
sight while they walked about town,
and kept watch for the man, but he
had not appeared up to the time the
ship sailed. at 1870 O'Clock.
The young ladies did not care to say
anything about the affair and refused
to give the mans motive for wanting TO
kill them. 1t was learned, however, that
the man who has been following them is
named Dunno, and that he is a rejected
lover OF Miss O'Hearn 1t is said that
he has become crazy on this one subject,
and broods over the matter considerably.
He reached st. Augustine shortly after
the young ladies did and stopped at
another hotel. Knowing of the threats
that Dunno has made Miss O'Hearn did
not dare to go on the streets alone, and
her visit was shortened on account of
the presence of her unwelcome admirer.
1t was expected that Dunno would apply
for passage on the same ship, but no
one answering his description appeared.

HURLED FROM A TRAIN.
A BOY Makes n Startling Charge
Against Brakeman.

Atlanta, Ga, March 26.-It is not a COM
mon occurrence for a brakeman on pas
senger train to seize a boy who is steal
ing a ride and while the train is running
thirty miles an hour to hurl him bodily
over a trestle into a creek.
That, however, is the allegation made
by Charley Cargile in a suit for damages
against the Western and Atlantic road
filed to-day. The suit is brought through
his next friend, Mitchell Cargile. In his
petition, the boy alleges that near Car
tersville he boarded the front platform
of mail car. He was discovered by a
brakeman, picked up bodily and thrown
into a creek, over which the train was
passing, from which experience he was
mashed up $4,000 worth.
