MAY RUN THE ATLANTIC AND

'There is n rumor current that the
Atlantic Coast Line, which has bought
the c. f. and Y. V railroad, may build
Il connecting link of road from Clinton
to RoSeboro, and abandon that part
of the c. T. and Y. v from Roseboro
to Wilmington. This would bring trains
from Fayetteville to Wilmington via
Clinton and Warsaw and would amount
to saving of some IS miles of track
The rumor is given for what it may be

many years after our Constitution eman-
cipated married women by giving them
their property rights equally as if they

empowered to sue at their will, there
remains no reason why the statute of linn

The bin of Walter II. Moore, Of Jack

The Mauser Rifle.

The much talked of Mauser

iers in the recent war, must be a
powerful weapon if the follow
ing press dispatch fron Fort

of common Mauser rife used
by a Spanish soldier at San

day with wonderful results.
The rifle was brought home by
Captain NJ. Wilson, of the
Twenty third Kansas. A ball
shot from it against the fat side
of a common ffatiron penetrated
the iron, leaving a hole as
smooth as if it were q pine
board. The ball, IN going out on
the opposite side, scared the
iron as an ordinard bullet would

following FIVE words coming by
cable from Captain Barker, al
Manila:
"Olympia, Hang Kong. AS
sumed cammand."
The understanding at the
Navy Department is that the
Admiral will spend about two
weeks at Hong Kong, for the
Olympia is to be docked and
her drao war paint must be COW
cred with the spotless white
which makes the American
naval ship the most beautiful
in the world. In the abserce of
other information it is assumed
that the Olympia from Hong
Kong will follow the usual
course of the warships, coming
home by way of the Suez Canal.
She will touch first, after
Hong Kong, at Singapore, thence
at Colombo, then perhaps, at
Alden, at the entrance of the Red
Sea, to take on a crew of Las
cars to fire the boilers in the iu>
tensely hot passage through the
sea and the Suez Canal. Stops
will be made, if necessary, at
Suez and at Port Said. 1t is as
sumed that Malta will be touch
ed and, perhaps, Genoa OF Nice
before reaching Gibraltar.
Leaving the Mediterranean, the
Olympia will stand straight
across the Atlantic, though she
may put in at Azores fer two
lays.
The time that should be occu>
pied by such trip is variorsly
estimated by nuval officers, but
he average is about seventy
lays from today. However, the
public will soon be able to get
more accurate knowledge of the
itinerary, for within a few days
he Navy Department will be in
possession of the schedule OF the
hips movements.

Several Hundred Western
Young Men to be Enlisted
in the Navy.

Secretary of the Navy Long i:
deeply interested in the result
of an experiment, which is to be
made under the direction o1

the enlistment of 500 or $50
men in the Middle West and

listment of men into the navy
from the interior of the country
will quicken that sections in

Many inquiries have been res
ceived by the Department from
the West by young men of ad-
venturous spirit, who would like
to join the pany, but who can
not afford the expense of travels
ing to New York or Boston with
the chance of rejection after
their arrival. 1t is proposed,
therefore, to send a recruiting
officer through the West next
month to gather 800 or $50 re
crrits. Only bright and promis-
ing young men between the
ages Of eighteen and twenty
FIVE years will be taken aud
none but American citizens
will be enlisted.
Exceptional inducements are
to be offered these recruits in
the shape of a long cruise on
Admiral Farragut's old flagship
Hartford, in the rigging of
which the old hero was lashed
as he sailed into Mobile Bay.
The Hartford is now at the
Mare Island Navy yard, Califor~
She has been thoroughly re-
fitted at a coast Of about $3.50

York, either by way of Cape
Horn or cross the Pacific to

be great attraction for young
men who desire to see something
of the world. Her executive
officer will be Lieutenant Com
mander Alexander Sharp, a !
nephew of General Grant, who
distinguished himself during the
recent war as the commander of
of the auxiliary yacht Vixen,
which was attached to Schley's
flying squadron.
Upon their arrival in New
York the recruits will be assign

A BRUTAL
ROBBERY.
An Aged Couple Bound and
Gagged at Shepherdstown
And Their Money
Taken.
Released By Their Little
Granddaughter.

At ShepherdstoWn, w. Va, {
brutal robbery was perpetratec
early Saturday morning upor
Richard Morgan and his wife
an aged couple, who are the
keepers of the toll bridge across
the Potomac river at that place
Soon after midnight Mr.. Nor,
gan and his wife were awakened
by three masked III en-, who broke
open the front door of the bridge
house in which they resided. AS
they forced the door the men
loudly shouted FIRE, and a coal
oil torch which they carried shed
light under the door into the
bedroom of the couple. Before
they could get out of bed, how
ever, the men had broken in the
bedroom door. They first seized
Mr.. Morgan, and, stretching
him on the bed, tied his hands
and feet and then bound him
firmly to the bed. Mrs. Morgan
who is more active than her
husband, attempted to jump
from the bed, when one of the
men grabbed her. She resisted
him and succeeded in snatching
the mask from his face, reveal
ing a white man who was un-
known to her. She was finally
overpowered and treated as her
husband had been. Their TO-
year old granddaughter, Susie
Stevens, who occupied the same
room, was also bound hand and
loot and tied 70 the bed. The
robbers bound their victims so
tightly that their wrists and
limbs were cut by the cords, and
they suffered considerably. A
sheet was torn into strips to add
to the bindings, and big piece
of muslin was forced into Mr..
Morgan's throat as gag.
When the robbers had secured
their victims they demanded to
know where the money was
kept, and by threats to burn and
kill the helpless old folks, they
discover where the purses were.
The whole amount of money in
the house and which the thieves
secured was $3.50. Of this
amount $50 belonged to Morgan
and the balance to the bridge
company. Alter spending about
halt an hour in the house the
robbers took their departure,
leaving the three victims tightly
tied to the beds and locked the
doors behind them. Mr.. and Mrs
Morgan and their granddaughter
lay helpless and suffering from
their bonds tor about two hours,
when the child managed to free
herself and then quickly released
her grandparents. They were
exhausted from excitement and
the rough treatment they re-
ceived The house at the bridge
is isolated from the town, and no
one knew of the robbery until
after daylight.

they were alone in the playroom,

1t was not because the wife
did not love her husband that
she refused the Kiss that morn,
ing. Many times during the
day, no doubt, she was so1ry aud
longed for the evening hour that
would bring him home to her.
Had anything happened that he
had never come back to his
home should have bitterly rued
the unkindness Of the morning.
1t was an uncontrolled temper
that caused it all. The difference
between husband and wife was
only over a very trivial matter.
1t is hard for children when
their parents are not loving to

How inspiring to 60 into a

mother always treat each other
courteously and lovingly and are
thoughtful of each others rights

The children arc taught to

both deserve, and the faults of

children by the affectionate tact
of the other.

them be settled when the child
