To the Voters Of Augusta.

You will be called upon on Monday
next to vote on the proposed amend
ment of the city charter to make two
wards OF ward one making the number
of wards eight in place of seven
To any fair minded man this change
must recommend itself as just and equit-
able Ward one. as now constituted cast

would make two wards of 2oS voters in
each. The other six wards east 1886 votes
making an average of 225 each. Thus II
Will be seen that ward one divided into
TWO wards will have % votes in each
over the average.
When YOU consider the matter of val
uation. the difference is even more strik-
ing Out of a total valuation of $6,20i.$'l
ward one has .sJ2 al. or approXmatinS
a third of the entire valuation Of the
city.
Under these circumstances can any
fair minded man vote against the amend
ments? | sincerely hope not.
The first proposition last winter was to
make nine wards-six on the west side
and three on the east side of the river

sion our two representatives. McsSrs.
Williams and Macomber held 4 confer

A tlarder In Wayne.

ooidsboro, n. g., CctoUei -t.-Ihefp
was a foul murder about six miles
from here in Fort township Saturday
night. w. A. Carr, who kept a small
country store near Carr's mill, was
found late Saturday night with his
head almost severed from his body; one
of his hands was broken and he had
received a fearful blow on his head. /.
Suspicion pointed to negro named
Sam Wright, who had helped Carr in
the store Saturday night and who was
last seen with him. This regro was
followed to Goldsboro Sunday and
found with the murdered man S watch,
pistol and money in his pockets. He
had on different clothes from those
worn on saturday. 1t is reported to-
day that the clothes this negro wore on
Saturday We're found in the woods to-
day with blood on them.
1t is thought that Carr was first given
the blow on the head and hand and
then his throat cut. He was small
man, while the negro was a man Of
powerful strength There was good
deaFof indignation over the matter,
but as court will be here in two weeks
from to-day, the law will take its
course and the county of Wayne will
maintain her record of never having a
case of lynching. All good citizens
hope the law will take the right course.
Mr.. Carr kept a little store at the
fence law gate in Fork township and
slept alone in the store in sllAil bed
room cut OFT from the main part. He
was discovered undressed in his bed
room lying on the floor in pool of
blood. The coroner's jury, after view
ing the remains and examining such
witnesses as could be had on the scene,

at this place caught fire and was totally
destroyed 1t was used as city Gala
boose, and two negro prisoners were
confined in it at the time, both of whom
were burned to death. The fire was
first discovered near the entrance, and
the rapid progress of the flames pre-
vented any rescue. The same dispatch
says, negro farmer near the town saw
some one moving around his place and
thinking it was a burglar, fired. He
was shocked to learn that he had killed
his own sister
In Opelika yesterday negro woman
went to the field, leaving her infant in
the charge of her older children. The
crying of the baby disturbed the other
children, and they beat the child to
death with switches and sticks.

The Third Temple Cup

Boston, October 6.--Ihe last ball game
of the season here and the third in the
Temple cup series was as dull and
uninteresting contest as has been
seen here for many day. The Balti
mores won with ridiculous ease and
closed their engagement by practically
exhausting the pitching talent of the
Boston nine.
In the three games all four of the
new Champions crack twirlers have
taken their turn in receiving the sever
est kind of pounding and for the third
successive game the home team were
obliged to make a change before the
game was over. Lewis, however, was
taken out today more because of his
wildness than of the Orioles hard bat
ting, although when he did put them
over, hits came as usual. Klobedanz,
who took his place, did tritle better,
but in the eighth was pounded hard,
A slight shower came up just as the
Bostons were ending their half and the
game was called, the score reverting to
the seventh and cutting off four runs
and five hits for the visitors.
On the other hand Hoffer kept the
Bean eaters hits judiciously scattered
and while somewhat wild at times, was
not hit to any extent except In the
third.

plicate Of the perfect conditions of the

Luetgert Not to Testify.

Chicago. October 5.-The end of the
famous Luetgert murder trial is nearer
than was thought, ..-.o .oelJ, alter coA
sultation with his attorneys, decided
not to go on the witness stand. The
defense to-day rested its case and there
is nothing now to come but the rebuttal
evidence of the state and the argument
of the attorneys-probably about two
weeks in all. The state has eight wit
nesses to place upon the stand, but
States Attorney Deneen said this af-
tarnoon that in most cases their evil
dence will be short and that he will get
through with them in a hurry. He eX
poets to demolish the stories offered by
the witness for the defense that Mrs.
Luetgert was seen around kenosha
and Lake Zurich, Wis, within a few
days after the murder is said to have
been committed, and to furnish other
testimony that will in great measure
hold up the side of the prosecution.

Hoffman Wins.

Norfolk, Va, October 5.-The annual
meeting OF stockholders of the Sea-
board and Roanoke railroad was held
in Portsmouth today, and was largely
attended by stockholders and their at
torneys. The meeting was very i'm
portant and interesting one by reason
of the fight between the Hoffman and
the Ryan factions for the control of the
stock of this road and incidentally Of
the Seaboard Air Line system, of
which this road is part. A large pro-
portion of the $1,000 shares of stock of
the road was represented either per-
sonally or by proxy.
A sensation was caused early in the
meeting by the service of an injunc-
ton order from State Circuit Irdre
Prentis upon Thomas Ryan and his as
sociates, restraining them from voting
their stock, on the ground that said
stock had been transferred in violation
Of the laws Of the company.
A little later Deputy United States
Marshal Cross entered with an injunc-
ton order granted by United States
Circuit Judge Simonton, restraining
President r. Curzon Hoffman, l.. r.
Watts and others from voting stock
held by them, The Hoffman faction,
however, had about 5000 shares ol
stock besides that which they were en-
joined from voting and reelected r.
Curzon Hoffman president and the old
board of directors, with the exception
that Charles Chauncey and w. z.
Tucker We're chosen, vice Moncure
Robinson, deceased, and w. W. Fuller.
The two injunctions were needed, the
election being accomplished without
violating them.
Mr.. Henry Crawford, representing
the interests of Thomas F. Ryan, was
present at the meeting, and demanded
the right to inspect all Of the proxies
and inquire into the right Of persons
present to vote, which was by unani-
NOUS consent, granted the meeting
taking recess for that purpose. After
making his investigation, Mr.. Craw
ford continued present at the meeting,
but raised no objection, or protests to
any Of the proceedings.
e.. w. Walker former master machin-
ist of the road, and w. j. Edwards,
former purchasing agent, in atiidavits
filed by them, charged President Hoff-
man with requiring them to purchase
supplies for the road from R. G. Hoff-
man & Co., at eXorbitant prices and for
inferior goods. These alfidavits are q
part Of the procedure Of the opponents
of Hoffman to oust him from the man
agement of the road.

Second For Temple Cup.

| Boston, Mass, Oct. 5.-The second
game of the temple cup series was, like
the first, distinguished by terrific bat
ting by both mines, but to-day Balti
more came out ahead through their abil
ity to get in the hits when they were
| most needed, while Corbett, though hit
hard, held the home team down at criti
cal times. The game was much more
interesting and exciting than that OF
yesterday and the home team was very
much in it up to the last inning when
they fell down woefully, though one
safe hit would have tied the score. No
ground rules hindered long hits and the
players, getting the full worth of their
drives, ran the bases daringly, without
faar of being called back.
Again the perfect weather made the
game enjoyable while there was only a
small kick in the last inning on ac-
count of growing darkness.
The shining star of the two champion
aggregations was Herman Long, the
short stop of the home team. His stops
were fairly electrifying and it is safe to
say that such work has never been ex-
celled. One ball from Doyle's bat, he
picked up twenty feet behind second
base and retired the runner, while Nc
Graw hit another one nearly in the
same place and met like fate.
For Baltimore Stensel's covering Of
centre field was notable feature. Nine
Boston players were retired on flies in
that direction, and not one was drop
ped. For the visitors Corbett and
Clark led in the hitting while Hamilton
came in with clean score his base
running being of the finest description.
The Baltimores began on Klobedanz
in the first inning and kept it up to the
fifth when two bases on balls and hit
were followed by home run by Reitz
which brought in four runs. Then
Klobey came ont and Stivetts went in,
but the charge did not seem to mend
matters, for Clarke banged the first ball
pitched over the fence for the second
home run and Corbett followed with
q two bagger. Hits after that came in
necessary moments and the visitors
managed to win without difficulty.
For the home team torbett whi e
wild at times, proved a stumbling block
until the fourth, when six runs came
over the plate, five of them being earn
ed. Corbett, however, pulled himself
together and barring the seventh, held
the home team down in good shape.
Although the brass band were miss
ing, there was much more genuine en-
fhusiasm than yesterday. Score:

A Train Robbed In the Day Time.


El Reno, Okla, October IA latter
account of the Rock Island train rob
berry says: Bandits robbed the south
bound Rock Island passenger train
and all its passengers at II o'clock this
afternoon at Siding No. /, about five
miles south of Mnco, in the Indian
territory. The railroad and express
officials have feared q hold az ii that
section for several weeks, aud armed
guards have been put aboard all night
trains at El Reno and carried through
to Chickasha. 1t had not been thought
that the outlaws were bold enough to
attack train in mid day. This morn.
ing the trainmen We're completely
surprised and they were not prepared
to offer any resistance when five mask
ed men came up on them at the lonely
siding. The place is uninhabited and
the only persons in the vicinity at the
time were four section men. These
men tagged the train, the robbers hav-
ing compelled them to do so. The
bandits were hidden at the time in a
brush pile and jumped out as soou as
the passenger train had taken the sid
ing.
Under the pressure Of Winchesters
and ugly looking six-shooters the train
men, the express messenger and all of
the score or more of passengers were
made to climb down from the train and
stand in line, hands up, on the prairie
along the railroad. While three of the
robbers covered the badly frightened
crowd with their guns, the other two
coolly and carefully robbed them, pass
ing from one passenger to another
down the line. The bandits secured
about $500 in cash and such other val
uables, in the way of watches, pins and
jewelry as were in sight.
The passengers and trainmen hav-
ing been thoroughly plucked, three of
the bandits turned their attention to
the express and mail coaches, the
others standing guard over the help
less crowd in the prairie. The register
ed mail pouches were quickly rihed,
but the through safe in the express car
resisted all the force and ingenuity of
the road agents.
When the messenger had convinced
the bandits that he could not open the
strong box they resorted to dynamite
Several heavy charges W4re exploded
but the safe proved Daudi p.9of ana
though it was badly battered, its con-
tents were saved to the express COM
pany.
Having taken forcible possession of
everything they could carry away the
bandits mounted their horses and rode
off to the west.
AS soon as the train men could collect
their wits they got their scared pas
sengers aboard and hurried on to the
next station south, Chickasha, from
which point the railroad officials were
notified of the hold-up. At Chickasha
a posse of citizen, was hurredly FORM
ed. These citizens set out in pursuit of
the gang and officers have been dis
patched from Ell Reno and other points
in this section. 1t is hardly possibly
that the bandits can be 0vertaken in
the prairie country and they will pro-
bably be able to reach the Wichita
to the west of the scene of
The hold-up. Officers here believe the
gang to be the same one that held
Santa Fe trains up at Edmunds twice
during last month
