Who Attempted to Rob the Post

while attempting to rob the post

night. jenkins was one of a
gang of four thieves who tried to
loot the p%ostoffice there. Two
Of his companions-Pe Peter James
and "Dick" Byrnes-were shot
and severely wounded by Mr..
Adams and his son and were
captured on TIE spot. Another
of his coDfederates escaped and
is still at large. jenkins received
a bullet wound in the arm, but
managed to elude capture at the
time. Thursday night about 8
O'Clock he came to the Long
Island College Hospital in this
city aud asked to have his wound
dressed. He had wandered about
for nearly eighteen hours with
out having his injuries cared for.
He told the doctor that he had
accidentally shot himself while
hunting. The physicians dis
believed his story and notified
the police. The latter identified
MIN as a notorious thief and he
was Immediately connected with
the Bedford station job. A per
son from that place who. had seen
the robbers came to the hospital
and positively identified Jenkins
as one OF the robbers. The ply
sicians in the hospital performed
several operations on the mans
arm, but because of his long neg
lect of the wound blood poisons

Two detectives stood by the
dying man until he expired.
They told him he was going to
die and that this would be his
last chance to tell what he knew.
He replied: Il know l am dy~

but all I can say is, I told you
the truth. 1 was shot accidentally
by a friend in Long Branch. 1
will never tell his name because
1 promised not to do So"
He admitted he knew James,
the burglar in Mount Kisco Jail,
but denied that he had gone with
him to Bedford. The attempted
robbery at Bedford station has
already cost two lives, these of
Walter B. Adams, the post
master at that place, and Charles
Jenkins, the burglar. Byrnes
and James,, the other wounded
burglars, are in a precarious con-
dition and likely to die at any
time.

WANTED A SECOND WIFE.
On she Eve of Proposal His First Wife
Interfered.

On she Eve OF q HIS First Wife
Interfered.
Squire Bray, of Caswell, a
little town in North Carolina,
was hunting another wife. His
first marriage had been a happy
one, dissolved by the death of
his beloved helpmeet.
The squire had a son named
Boo. Bob was a wild blade aud
proposed to knock his father out
of a second union. In the capa-
cious breast pocket of the
'squire's great coat reposed a
pint ticker, we'll filed, that he
proposed using on his way back
from seeing the Widow Brown.
Now, just before he started
Bob slipped the ticker out and
put IN its place a small alarm
clock, carefully wound and set
for II p. m.
The squire had sat the fire out
and was well on with his over
coat. holding the widows hand
at the door and putting in his
sweetest words at the last.
Yes, your first husband, ms
dear, Was one of my bestfriends,
and We'll visit his and my lost
Hannah's graves. won't we
loye?"
".Ah, yes, for where was there
a sweeter woman than your poor
Hannah?' asked the widow.
"a good woman: she was good
enough, but there's a living one
just as sweet" said the squire,
and he was drawing her to him
for d kiss when whizz-wizz,
wizzzr = hizzer - ting whir-r-r>r-
ting! bang The clock went off in
side of him.
"Oh, Lawd!" screamed the
widow; 'he's shooting to pieces.
It's Hannah's old peanny a play
IN inside of him."
She said she'd haunt me! She
alters told me SOL" cried the
squire, running in a stoop for
his horse; with both hands press
ed to his breast andthe clock still
stricking, ting, ting. He rode
like old Nick was after him and
never knew the racket till he felt
for his ticker ard ripped out the
little clock that Bob had bought
at auction. Then he laughed till
the tears ran down his cheeks,
but he promised Bob never to
sparkle another woman if he'd
only keep the joke from the
neighbors.
The widow believes to this day
that old man Bray is a walk
ing volcano and that his dead
wife would set the battery ago
ing if ever he went near a woman
again to make love to her.-St.
Louis Republic.

. Is It Sensible?

Suppose l want to go TO WASH
ingtou, and, after I have secured
my ticket and have taken my
seat on the train, it should come
to my knowledge that there are a
number Of passengers who had
forged tickets. and some who had
no tickets at all. The company
is reliable, the trains go through
on time, my ticket is genuine, l
have no other way of Sbing to
Washington. Now, what would
you think of me if I were to de-
cline going because there were
these persons on the train who
had no right to be there? Do you
think such a course would be a
sensible one?
Every now and then I meet
some one who attempts to ex>
cuse himself from joining the
church because, as he afirms,
there are those in the church
who ought not to be there. Is it
sensible to stay out of the church
for such a reason?
The church is a company of
followers and confessors of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Those out
side do not propose to be, and
are not regarded as being, his
followers. Away from Christ
you are unsaved, and yet you
make this fimsy attemp at ex-
cusing yourself from being con-
verted and joining the church.
Is this a sensible course of ac~
iion?-Selectcd.

New York, Aug. 23,--Terisino
Farnachi and Tomasa Marcosino
were married at Mount Vernon
last night with considerable Ger
emony. After the wedding there
was a general ~jollifcation at the
houe of a friend, in which nearly
the whole Italian colony partici>
pated. The festivities lasted
until late this morning, and
every man who wished to kiss
the bride or dance with her was
compelled to give a present of
money. By this unique arrange
ment the couple secured enough
funds to cover their wedding
trip. Back of these nuptials lies
a romance. The bride aud groom
were lovers from childhood.
When Marcosino was Is years
old he left his home in Florence
and came to America. Before
sailing be promised Terisino that
when he had made money enough
he would return and claim her as
his bride. After fifteen years
letters from Marcosino's fuancee

her either dead or married. But
one day last year the two met
unexpectedly in this city. the
old love was renewed and the
day set for the wedding, which
occurred last night.

NEW COTTON GIN.
Seed Cotton Taken From the Wagon by
Machinery and Bsled in Twenty Min


Seed Cotton Taken From the Wagon by
Machinery and BsIed in Twenty Min
utes.
From day to day in the present
age the ingenious brain of man
is constantly at work on some
device of labor-saving macbin>
cry, and it is no surprise now
that the work of hauling seed
cotton to a gin and unloading it
in baskets with hard labor has be-
come to be an easy matter with
the improvements that are being
made over the old way by the
Goldsboro Oil Company of this
city.
Gu the vacant lot near the
Goldsboro Oil Company's mill
there is being erected buildings
for a cotton gin that will com :
pletely annihitate all the work of
handling seed cotton. The farmer
drives his wagon containing
seed cotton on platform scales,
where the whole business is
weighed, and the seed cotton is
taken from the wagon by q set of
suction fans and thus carried
through three sets Of gin saws.
The seed r taken by another
set of fans and carried to the
warehouse of the oil mills if the
planter wants to sell them; if he
does not want to sell them they
are let down through a scoop
into lis wagon. The lint cotton
is taken by other fans and car
ried directly to a steam press,
where it is pressed and made
ready for the market.
The whole time consumed in
taking the seed cotton from the
wagon and making a bale of lint
cotton out of it will not exceed
20 minutes, and it is claimed that
it can ba done in less time. The
entire work is done by machin~
cry, and the worry aud delay of
handling and weighing the seed
cotton is completely done away
with.
To ascertain the weight of the
seed cotton, the weight Of the
wagon will have to be deducted
from the gross weight. and TO
find out the quantity of seed, the
weight of the bale of lint cotton
will be deducted from the weight
of the seed cotton.
OF course the labor and time
saved will commend this new in
veution to cotton planters, but
they are only small points in its
favor. The average yield at the
common country gin is very un>
satisfactory to the planter. but
with these three sets of gin saws
ali of the lint is separated from
the seed, and tie farmer gets the
lint that the oil companies have
been getting.
The tole at this gin is only
$1.25, just about half what is
usually charged at other gins.
With all these commendsble
points in favor CT this new de-
vice for ginning cotton it is CONF
PEELED to take the lead at once.
It is not necessary to remain in
the old ruts any longer. 1t is
only a question of short while
before the old time Gotten gin
will be relegated to the rear and
take it's place in the history of
our antiquated machinery. 1t
has served its day well, but it
must give place to modern de-
vices that are commensurate
with the progress of the age.
