Locked In n Big Vault.
(From the Chicago Chronicle. J


Visions of a death as horrible as that
which befeli the victims of the Black
Hole of Calcutta were part of narrowing
experience of Clerk Paul Cores of the
Auditorium annex yesterday afternoon
when he was inmured in the big office
vault of the hosiery half an hour. BY an
inadvertence Theodore Capen. who re-
leved Mr.. Cores on the afternoon watch
closed the ponderous door of the reposi-
tory for ledgers and valuables while the
genial boniface was within getting his
new Panama hat. Clang went the big
steel portal and Mr. Cores was as Sc
curely locked in as If in a dungeon.
The prisoner is man of undoubted
courage, but the dread possibilities of his
predicament bursting upon him he raised
his voice In a Maine-to-TeXas yell that
vibrated through the lobby and dis
titled to n jelly from the very act of

and Miss Monroe, the cashier, rushed to
the beknobbed panel in an instant and
began to tumble with; the combinations
Guests, reused from their reveries in
deep-seat ted chairs, sprang toward the

porters rushed hfther and thither in

The tumblers in the intricate lock fall

the brow of Clerk Capen as he thought of
the horrible fate that would be his COM
panion's if he were forced to remain pent
up in the close atmosphere of the IRON
walled room. Mr.. Capen wrestied desper-
ately with the machinery of the combina-
ton, but it was inmo9able. After shout
ing words of encoura cement to Cores,
Capen dispatched a messenger for the
house machinist, who son arriving iolted
the lock mechanism with a sledge. The
combination was again tried by Capen

who followed him into the airy room on
the ground floor that is furnished with
crystal and mahogany.

DAVIES RAILROAD BONDS.
The County Has Paid $40, 900 of the
$4,000 Subscribed

Referring to the visit of Messrs. G.
w. Hinshaw and Henry w. Miller, to
Mocksville, last Monday, the Times
says they were there comforting with
the Commissioners and private stock
holders in Davie county in the Mocks-
vile railroad. They said they want
ed TO find out the different persons in
the county who had subscribed for
stock and issue them stock to the
amount that they had paid and release
them from any further payment.
As to the county, $50, 900 was voted
and $4,000 has been paid. They
stated that they did not now claim the
other SO, 900 subscribed but would is
sue stock to the amount of $40, 600 and
for the Commissioners to give them a
written request to be released from
any further responsibility which they
would present to their company and
which request they thought would be
granted. This request was made by
the Commissioners. The Times adds
that some people objected to this writ
ten request being made for fear that it
would renew the county's response
bility to pay the additional 80, 600,
but after consultation the Commits
slOners concluded to make the request
as the parties representing the Rail
road Company claimed that they had
no intention in that direction.
