dent the miners are growing restless

strongly advised them To be a unit or else
their efforts would fail. There was an af-
tidavit signed by number Of miners of
mine No ;, near Hastings, that the mana
ger OF the mine deducted every fifth ton of
coal for himself as a bonus for giving the
men work, thereby compelling the men To
buy their job.
William Laughlin, a miner at NcGont-
gle's mines, east of town, met with a very
serious accident on Friday last. A heavy
fall o. slate struck him on the back iniur-
ing his spine and causing paralysis of the
liver and al present writing is still unable
to move his lower limbs. He has the sym
pathy of the entire community.
There is only one mine in operation in
this vicinity and il only runs on half time.
A great manv of our resident miners
have left town to seek work elsewhere.

Engineer Johnston Explains the
Great Enterprise.
Mr.. 7, T. Johnston of Chicago, the engi-
neer who is now engaged in improving Sa-
yannah's water supply gave an exhibition
last night at st. Johns parish han to a
party of friends and acquaintance of
stereopticon views of the work on the Chi.
cago drainage canal
Mr.. Johnston has been assistant chief
engineer of this work from the beginning
and is thoroughly familiar with every nor
ton of it, as was fully shown by his brief
lecture. As has been previously stated in
the Morning News on various occasions
the Chicago drainage canal is one of the
greatest engineering projects of modern
umeS, the total cost of the work for An
excavation of twenty-nine miles being
placed at 100000. The character of the
work, the powerful machinery i'm use and
the manner of using 1t, together with
many interesting facts in connection with
II were well described by Mr.. Johnston
The lecture would have been enjoyed bv a
larger audience, but the affair was NOT
advertised, there being no charge for adj
mission, and many of those who received
invitations were unable to attend on ac-
count of other engagements The stereop-
ticon was handled by DR.. s. A. White In
his usual skilful manner.

HELD AS A SAFE RoBBER.
j. II. HummeI, Alias j. F. West
Charged with safe Cracking at

RaveneI.
The Southern Express Company's safe
at Ravenel, ninety miles north of savan-
nah on the Charleston and Savannah road,
was robbed night before last. J. H. Hum
mel, alias J. F. West, was arrested in sa-
vannah yesterday as the robber.
The news of the robbery was wired Supt.
c. L. Myers Of the express company yes
terday morning by the agent at Ravenel,
Max Jacobs. The telegram contained the
following description of the man suspect
ed there Of the crime: Hight about 6
feet; weight about 100 pounds; red scar on
his forehead; moustache and light COM
plexion; a ring, with a white setting; pat
ent leather shoes, and about Is or 30 years
old"
Supt. Myers received this telegram be-
tween and s o'clock. He inn
mediately notified the police
and gave them the description. About
two hours later the man was seen walk
ing on Oglethorpe avenue by two Plant
system employees, who knew him, and
had heard that he was wanted. They
notified the officer on duty that the man
was West and he was arrested. On be-
ing taken to the station $4905 was found
in his pockets The sum stolen from the
COMPANY at lNdNeuei was ABOUT $OO. Let
ters were also found in his pockets adj
dressed to J. F. West, at Waverly, H.,
and Akron, o. These letters were mostly
amatory, beginning Dear jack and sign
ed with feminine names.
The prisoner would not give any name
nor would he talk. His answers were
surly and monosyllabic 10 all questions,
and nothing could be gotten out of him.
Supt. Myers had a number of. people
identify him as West, that being the name
under which he was known while here a
few days ago. This was the name the
man described as the probable robber bore
at Ravenel West was night operator at
the station, where he had been for day
or two long enough to get the lay of the
land and good idea of the best time to
attempt ten strike The strike was made
and it Is Supposed West came down on
passenger train No. % night before last.
No particulars of the robbery were re-
ceived. 1t was not known whether the
money had been obtained by blowing open
the safe or working the combination. The
telegram stated that the man committing
the robbery was supposed to be West, who
was not to be found. West Is rather a
good looking fellow. He is tramp tele,
graph operator, who works a job at one
place for while and is then on to an

JUMPED FROM A CAR WINDOW
Sheriff and Passengers Chase a Fug-
ttive Prisoner Near PoOIer.

Sheriff and Passengers Chase a Fug-
ttive Prisoner Near POOIer.
There was an exciting man chase about
dusk yesterday just this side of Pooler.
Men ran who never ran before, and those
who always run, ran the more. The
cause of the excitement was the escape of
a prisoner, who was aboard the east bound
Central train.
Sheriff Donelson of Bulloch county had
arrested Sam Sasser. young white man,
for selling liquor unlawfully, and was
bringing him from Dover to Savannah.
TO be lodged in jail for safe-keeping. The
officer and prisoner sat together on the
same seat, and no one knew their uncor-
dial relations until the denouement AS
the train got well underway from Pooler
Sasser went to a closet in the end Of the
car, and dropped out the window. The
sheriff saw the escape. and rushing to
the platform, jumped Off turning a somer-
sault in the ditch. Jumping up he fol-
lowed the prisoner, firing at him with his
revolver as he ran.
The train was stopped and the more
active part Of the male passengers formed
themselves into a posse cometatus.a and
followed the prisoner and sheriff, who. by
that time, were just visible in the pine
thicket. After chase of a few minutes.
the volunteers returned, leaving the sher-
im TO capture the prisoner If he could
The train had not gone more than half a
mile when Sasser was seen going through
the woods near the railroad track, and the
train was brought to stop, and the vol
unteers, deputy sheriffs, to the number
OF dozen jumped off the cars and gave
chase; but after a five-minutes' run the
fugitive distanced them, and they return
ed to the cars, and the train came on to
the city. Whether the sheriff of Buloch
caught his prisoner or the latter won the
foot race is not known.

Both class B matches were shot under
the same conditions five shots at 200, five
at 800, ten at 600, five at 600 and ten at
skirmish. The prizes in each match are
$40 to the first, S25 to the second and SO
TO the third highest team.
The class A regimental match, which
was begun the day before, was finished yes
terday morning. and was won by the team
of the First Battalion Cavalry, Govern
ors Horse Guards, on the following score:
First Battalion Cavalry .51s
Fourth Regiment ..........................4 S9
sixth Regiment ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 253
There were no other entries. The Gov
ernor's Horse Guards won without their
90 points handicap, which would have
made their score 576.
Abe Avondale match, best score out of
seven shots at 500 yards, was won by
Lieut.. c. S. Richmond, inspector rifle
practice of the Guards battalion, on a
double score of SO out of possible IS. Capt
j. G. Postell, inspector rifle practice of
the First Regiment Cavalry, was Lieut..
Richmond's only competitor. Capt. Pos
tell made one score of SO and another Of
80.
Lieut.. F. c. Wilson was the only entry
in the All Corners match, best three scores
of ten shots each at 299 yards. Other en-
tries would have been useless. Lieut.. VIII
son will claim the prize money on his best
three scores of So 40 and 4S. In his shoot
ing yesterday afternoon in this match
Lieut. Wilson broke the worlds record and
Der of bull eyes at the 200 yard target.
The three scores on which he will claim
the prize money are as follows:
NO. No. % 5 5 5 s 5 5 IS
No. 3-5 3 5 5 $50
The next score was begun with two
bullseyes. Counting from the 4 in the
middle of the second score this made six
teen consecutive bullseyes. Lieut.. Will
son already held the worlds record of
twelve consecutive bullseyes at the 200
yard target. His record yesterday is a
still higher one for other crack shots to go
against.
The success of the contest which has
just closed is due in large measure to
Capt. w. w. Williamson, the president of
the Military Rife Range Association.
Capt. Williamson spared no effort to
make the contest a success, both in the
preliminary preparations and in the de-
tails after the opening of the contest.
During the three days that the contest
has been in progress Capt. Williamson
has given his constant and unremitting
attention to the work. He has given his
personal supervision to every detail and
has been interchangeable in his efforts for
the comfort and satisfaction of the compe-
ting teams. He was ably co-operated with
by the other range officers, but all the
officers unite in giving the credit for the
success of the contest in every respect to
Capt. Williamson.
