Brunswick, Ga, oct. ia young lady

day with an exciting story Of supposed
chase for flibuster off Cumberland last
night A strange steam vessel, supposed

trees and excited the curiosity of Manager

stairs with glasses and had just brought
them to bear when the vessel steamed out

Shortly after disappearing in the midst
cannonading was heard, boom following

Stolen Goods.
Dalton, Ca, Oct. 15-W. B. McCarson,
another merchant who runs a large store
in North Dalton, was arrested to-day on
Indictment charging him with receiving
stolen goods from Bohannons gang of car
pirates, who plundered the Southern rail-
way out of thousands of dollars worth of
goods, but are at last in the clutches of
the law.
1t is generally understood by those who
are in position to know that another Of
the merchants in an adjoining county will
enter a plea of guilty to having received
stolen goods from the gang.
To-day the trial of Capt. T. ]. Peoples
was resumed before an immense crowd.
Ladies who were absent when court con-
vened yesterday were present this morn>
ing, and more numerously than ever be-
fore in the history of the car robbers
trial. The evidence was concluded for
the defendant by the Introduction of about
forty witnesses from Whitfield and adj
joining counties, who succeeded in es-
tablishing the general good char
aracter of T. J. Peoples,
Then came the surprise of
the day to the defense. They concluded
they had so blasted the character of Wal
ter Bohannon, the chief of the car pi-
rates, that nobody would believe him. The
appearance of fourteen well-known busi-
ness men of Dalton, including bankers,
merchants, county and city officials, who.
under oath, testified that they would be
lieve Bohannon on oath, was this sur
prise. 1t was generally conceded by those
looking on that previous to the introduce
ton of the fourteen well known Dalton
men that the tide had turned, and no
longer Gould Bohannon and his guilty fol-
lowers convict, by their testimony the
men they claimed received stolen goods
from them. But this Endorsement put
different phase on the situation and makes
the word of the car robbers go"
The absence of J. N. Peoples and T. n.
Peoples, sons of the defendant, continues
to be shrouded in mystery, and all ef-
forts to locate them by county officials
have been in vain.

brought here on a special train, did not

Diamond Dyes have special dyes for cot

WHAT IS YOUR TRADE.
Each Trade or Occupation Has Its
Special Disease.

1t Is well known among medical men
that certain diseases are more readily de-
veloped in certain occupations than In 9TH
ers. That each occupation has its attend
ant physical weakness. Engineers, rail-
road men and similar occupations suffer
mostly from kidney troubles and men who
are often exposed to the weather suffer
from rheumatism, while clerks and pro-
fessional men, in fact, the army of people
whose business keeps them indoors, are
oftentimes great sufferers from piles and
constipation. In this connection the fol-
lowing letter is of interest to people whose
occupation will not allow sufficient out
door exercise:
Mr.. A. F. Calhoun, notary public and
teweler and matchmaker of Circleville, w.
Va, writes as follows:

for years and had tried many remedies
with but little benefit, when about three

disappeared, and from that day TO this

Any druggist will tell you that the Pyra-
