The President Of the Bryan silver Club Lose
His Cash

Moye G. Norton, president of the
Bryan Silver club. whose law offices are
situated in the Jones block, No. 175
North Spring street, met with an unfor-
tunate incident last night, being robbed
of q little over 500 in cash.
meeting of the club was held in
Justice Morrison's courtroom, and the
money collected in dues, membership
fees, etc. amounted to something over
the hundred mark. This was turned
over to Norton and he proceeded with it
to his office. where he locked it in his
desk. Then he went down to the Ath-
letic club to see the boxing match
After that was over he made another
trip up to his office to see that the money
was all right for the night, when he
made the startling discovery that his
desk had been broken open and the cash
every cent of twas gone. missing.
Norton did not stop to investigate fur
ther. but posted off to the police station,
where he reported his loss and Detective
Benedict was Immediately detailed to
work up the case
The thief left no clewS behind, but
from the very nature of the case must
have been some one who knew that Nor
ton had the money, followed him from
the meeting and knew that he had left
the cash in the Office for safe keeping.
AS soon as the young attorney left for
the Athletic club the coast was clear and
tn theft was probably consummated.

A Silly Claim

The Times yesterday morning, in CIV

claim that it was the means of saving

at which they were afterward awarded

KICK ON A CONTRACTOR
Complaint nade Against Fitzpatrick for Not
Paying His Men

complaint was yesterday made by a
man named Marmion to Mayor RAIDER
that Fitzpatrick, who had the sub-con-
tract Tor furnishing stone for the new
city prison. had not paid his men. Mar
mion said that he and seven others had
been working for Fitzpatrick at his
quarry in the Sespe, and that they had
not got their pay Contractor Rebman.
when communicated with, said that he
could do nothing. He said that he had
honored orders from Fitzpatrick for
5000 or $500 more than was due him. and
that he would be out this much on him.
AS the mechanics lien law does not op-
crate against public buildings, the la
borers will probably lose the money due
them. Marmion also called at the dis
trict attorneys office, but nothing could
be done for him and his fellow sufferers.

which we feared, yet would not name
even to our own hearts. All night
we made no halt, stopping only a few
minutes next morning for refresh
ment at Spottsylvania, Q. H., where a
kind family brought us out some food
for us as we passed their door One
bridge where we crossed was stuffed
with hay, to be burned i'm case the
Yankees came that way; several tim
es we changed our course to dodge at
them. AT night we were overtaken
near Danville by soldier who brought
the tidings that Genl Lee had sur
rendered.
And here my notes end, with these
sad lines how sad, how heart break
ing, only those who struggled, endur-
ed, suffered through the fiery ordeal

our harness, fortunate rope at hand
had tied up the broken spring, and
on we dashed; now through woods,
between trees, where it looked i'm
possible for wagon to pass at all,
yet, at flying speed, the marvellous
skill of our driver, who was mounted
on one of the wheel horses, missed
every tree and took us safely on till
we reached a breathing place, out of
range of shot and shell. We shall
never cease to remember our soldier
driver with gratitude.
At the high bridge not far from
Appommattox, the last stand was
made for the Confederacy, here the
brigade to which my husband was at
! tached, under Gen. Anderson's COM
mand, to use the Generals own
words, "made the last fight of the war,
and whipped the fight" The par
ticulars of that battle we learned
after the surrender, from the Federal
general.
The infantry had marched all the
way from Petersburg, almost without
food, indeed, rations had been scant
for sometime before. Some of them
told us they had not had a mouthful
for days. The course was now to-
ward Lynchburg as from the direc-
ton supplies were expected every
hour. Baggage was scattered, horses
dead Or disabled, all along the road,
these days, we saw the abandoned
wagons stretching in long lines of fire,
making the night light around us.
Just before nightfall on Saturday,
8th, we entered the village of APP
pomattox and stopped at a large
brick house, near the outskirts. On
the ridge all about this house, the ar
tillery was placed and bomb shells
began to burst so thick around us,
that we took refuge in the cellar,
while our horses were led out to
safe place beyond the range. Pres
emily, just as the soldiers had started
their camp fires and were cooking
what little provisions they could pick
up, the train from Lynchburg rolled
in, and behold, instead of grey-coats
and supplies out poured "blue- coats!"
All, the dismay! Then was the army
of Northern Va.,-all that was left of
it-fairly surrounded in the "bull
pen," as the soldiers called it. Soon
after that, the cannonading slacken-
ed then ceased. The last gun of the
Civil war was fred There was a
rumor of negotiations on foot. And
now was our time to get away before
the Gordon was drawn so closely that
we could not escape. The horses
were brought in and harnessed, we
set off without rest or food, down the
ravine by back way, and succeeded
in getting out of the enemy's line in
which we had been entangled for a
week, ever since the memorable
night of the evacuation of r. Sun
day the I'd. Our last look as we pass
ed out of sight, showed us the artil-
lerymen on the bridge smashing up
their gun carriages. There was a
wilder sense of eXcitment than ever,
as we pressed on, trying to put as
many miles as possible between our
selves and the great catastrophe
