HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
EnRfncer Krnemer Relieved of Watch
and Money Last Night.


and Money Last Night.
The police were not the only people who
were compelled to be out in the rain last
night. Samuel Kraemer was also on the
street at late hour, and now he is glad
he is able to tell the story of his sad ex-
perience. He was assaulted and robbed by
three colored men, but fortunately he had
only about $ and silver watch on his
person.
Mr. Kraemer is an engineer on the Bal
tinlore and Potomac railroad and lives at
No. S15 Sd street southeast. He made
late run to Bowie last night, and when he
returned 1t was nearly midnight.
1t was about 12:30 o'clock when he left
at the corner of I'd and G streets he was
met by three colored men. The fact that
he was hurrying home out Of the rain
made no difference to them, for they not
him down. and the three of them rified his
pockets. The condition of his face indi-
Gates that some heavy instrument, possibly
a blackjack, was used on him.
When the ruff1ans had gotten Kraemer's
watch and money they left him there on
the pavement and quickly disappeared.
The robbery took place almost In sight of
the engineers fellow workmen, and before
had happened. A search for the highway
men was made, but they were not appre-
heEded.
The bicycle thief made his appearance
again yesterday, and stole a wheel from
the pavement in front of 821 14th street.
Mr.. c. Hatfield, who Is the owner Of the
store at that number, called on the police
last night and informed them of his loss.
The detectives have a description of the
Wheel and are looking for both wheel and
thief.

ANIMALS KILLED BY TRAINS.
Foxes and Owls often the victims-Dogs

Foxes and Owls Often the Victims-Dogs
Lured by Foxes to Death.
The report printed a few days ago that
buck deer had been killed by a train
near Sayville, L. l., reminded sportsmen
of many similar tragedies of the animal
world. When the buffaloes roamed across
the plains they not lnfrequently COM
PEELED trains to stop until the herds had
passed. Anteiopes were killed quite Of
ten by the locomotives.
The glare of the headlights at night
seems TO stupefy the beasts that cross the
tracks. Owls are killed frequently, as
we'll as many other BIRDS during the mi
gratory season. An engineer on q New
Jersey railroad, while passing through
the .pinerles one night, heard a faint crash
of glass above the roar OF the train. In
stantly the headlight went out, and the
fireman went forward to learn the cause.
A short-eared owl had flown into the
glass. broken it, broken the chimney OF
the lamp and lodged against the reflector,
dead bird.
The fox, in spite OF his craft, is one of
the animals most frequently killed by
trains. The chances are that most OF the
foxes killed are young and inexperienced.
In England foxes closely followed by a
pack of hounds have been known to run
in front of train along the track. then
Jump off again before the train came up.
The dogs would follow after in full cry.
and dozen or more would be killed. One
pack ran under the wheels of an express
in their eagerness to get the fox.
Rabbits. wild turkeys, skunks. part
ridges, quail, squirrels, wild ducks and
geese and many other kinds of animals
that abide by railroads have been killed
by the trains.-New FORK Sun.

A coon ROADS BANQUET.
Orlando and Winter Park Unite I'm

Roads

Orlando and Winter Park Unite I'm
HOnoring the Promoters of Good
Roads.
Winter Park, Fla. March 5.-A banquet
was given at the Seminole hotel last night
in honor of A. E. Dick, the proprietor of
the hotel for his pioneer work in having
built the excellent system of clay roads
which traverse this county.
During President Plants visit here at the
reception last winter, Col Dick readily
convinced him that he could not do bet
ter thing than to aid this good roads move
ment with a generous subscription, which
was at once forthcoming and with hearty
words of encouragement. for all having the
work in charge.
And now that the work is completed, and
fine clay belt road joins Orlando and
Winter Park, with road rapidly progress
ing on to Maitland, and from there in
few months to be extended to Longwood,
the people felt that some recognition was
due Col. Dick for his persistent and sue
cessful labors in behalf of the movement.
Hence the banquet last night in his honor.
Capt. w. B. Tucker, of the Florida
Central and Peninsular railway brought
over a big party from Orlando on spe-
cidi tram, ana NAH an nOuI ldleI tlle COiIl-
pany filed out of the spacious parlors to
the music of the hotel orchestra, and pro-
ceeded to the handsomely decorated din
ing room. After a blessing had been ask
ed by Rev j. II. Martin, the corps of
walters started in to serve the ten courses
presented on the menu cards, and it was
10 o'clock before the last course had been
disposed of and the guests were ready for
the usual after dinner speeches.
DR.. M. A. Henkel, as chairman, intro
duced President Ward, of Rollins college,
as POSTMASTER.
Prof. Austin, the mayor, made the adj
dress, complimentary to Col. Dick. Col.
Dick, although quite overcome by the
hearty reception given him, responded in
fitting terms, but shared the good roads
tribute with Hon. Isaac A. Hopper, Presi-
dent Plant and ex-Gov. John G.. Sinclair,
all of whom were pioneer liberal contribu-
tors.
Ex-Mayor Mahlon Gore of Orlando gave
a glowing account of Orlando's clay street
movement, and her recent good roads con-
gress.
Judge C. G. Butt of Orlando, made the
most popular and humorous speech of the
occasion.
Hon. j. NJ. Cheney. also of Orlando, trac-
ed the progress of the bicycle in connec-
ton with good roads.
H. G. Garrett of Orlando, Sydney Her
bert and ex-Mayor Chubb also spoke, and
resolutions complimentary to Col. Dick
were adopted.

MAKING A HUNT FOR MOUNTAIN
HIS CREDITORS WANT TO SEE HIM
IN CAROLINA.

The Sheriff of Laurens County Now
in Atlanta EndeavOring to Trace
the ErstwhiIe PrisOner-The Dep
uty Sheriff Who Turned Mountain
Loose Brother OF the sheriff and
Now Reported at the Point OF
Death.
Atlanta, Ca, March 5.-Sheriff g. S. Nc
Crary of Laurens county, South Caro-
lima, came to Atlanta to-day in quest of
]. H. Mountain, the immigration agent
wanted there upon a warrant charging
cheating and swindling. Mountain was
passing through Atlanta yesterday in the
custody of Deputy Sheriff c. w. Nc
Crary of Laurens, when his attorneys
took out a writ of habeas corpus in the
United States court. The South Carolina
officer, with his prisoner, was at the
Union depot about to board a train when
Deputy Marshal Dunlap served him with
an order to appear at 10 o'clock in the
United States court to answer the writ.
The officer was sick, and left for home
boarding the train and leaving his pris-
oner to do as he pleased.
The sheriff of Laurens county, who
reached Atlanta this morning, is a
brother of the deputy sheriff, and male
an affidavit in court this morning that
his brother was lying at the point Of
death, attended by two physicians. When
the deputy sheriff returned to South Car
DINA yesterday morning he told his
brother, the sheriff, what had
happened, and he Immediately started
for Atlanta to regain the
custody of the prisoner. He claimed to
be surprised that Mountain was not in
the custody of the law, as he thought the
deputy marshal would have taken charge
of him.
After hearing the statements Judge
Newman decided that the South Carolina
sheriff was entitled to the prisoner, but
Mountain had disappeared and, of course,
could not be delivered to him. Marshal
Dunlaps declared to the court that Deputy
McCrary was drunk when he turned the
prisoner loose yesterday.
The South Carolina sheriff is now on the
hunt for Mountain and "cussing" his
brothers cornwall folly.

INTENDED TO REPLY TO 1T.
Chairman GraysOn and the Criti-

Chairman GraysOn and the Criti-
cisms on the Fire Department.
Chairman Grayson of the fire commits
sion had a conference with Mayor Mel
drim yesterday in reference to the fire de-
partment. Mayor Meldrim assured the
chairman of the commission of his readi-
ness to cooperate with him and to aid
him in every way to make the fire de-
partment effective.
Chairman Grayson, in referring to the
communication in the Morning News a
day or two ago criticising the fire depart
ment, said that he had intended to reply
to 1t, but has since decided not to do 80.
at was extremely unkind of the author
to make such an attack upon the de-
partment when we are undergoing fire
from both the fire committee and the
investigating committee of council"
said he. Some of the criticisms are ex-
tremely unjust. What had the killing OF
old man Thornburg by Pitts to do with
the death Of McStay by falling through
an open grating when blinded by smoke.
and why should the author connect the
two? AS a matter of fact, McStay was
one of the best men on the fire depart
for several years. Neither should the
commission be held responsible for Pitts.
We found him In the department when
we took charge, and as he was a brave
and faithful fireman there was no rea-
son why we should remove him. At the
time of the unfortunate affair he was al
ready under suspension for misbehavior
committed earlier in the day, so that the
fire department could not be said TO be
responsible for him in any manner what
soever.
1.-The writer speaks Of two firemen TAX
ing human life. / know of no other case
since the commission took charge of the
department If he refers to the killing
of keenan, by Ponder, nearly a year be-
fore the commission took charge, there
was no justice In making that statement.
Neither do we appoint heelers TO take
charge Of our engines, nor to any other
position with our knowledge We UNI
doubtedly make mistakes, and as public
servants, we are subject TO criticism. but
we should like 60 be dealt with justly
when such criticisms are made"
