be a warning to the friends of county re-

utmost vigilance on their part. Every MEM

No laws should compel the owners of

DARING SAFE ROBBERY
Persons I'm Charge of the Trolley Road
Omces in FafrmOunt Park Held Up
and the Safe Robbed

Philadelphia, June ia gang of
Der, early this morning raided the re-
ceiving office of the Paramount Park
Transportation Company at Belmont,
in Paramount park, and after holding
up the receiver and five other employees
of h railway, blew open the safe, Sc
curing SO, 500. 55-the cCmpany's receipts
for two days.
In addition to the men who actually
committed the robbery, others Operat-
ed miles away from the scene by de-
stroying telegraph and telephone wires

Peter Duffert and Charles Smith, who
say they live in Newark, N. j., and AL

moor on suspicion CT being CONNECTED
with the robbery. They Were sent to
prison for a further hearing in default

Charles A. Porter, president Of the
Paramount Park transportation Com
pany, said this afternoon: 'There is
every reason to believe that some for
mel employees of the transportation
company were implicated in #the rob-
berry. We have been compelled to hire
men of whom we knew little. The IA
miliarity of Tho robbers with the meth
DDS pursued by the company shows
that they were not ignorant outsiders.
It is my opinion a expert cracksmen
have gained the ear of some of our
discharged employees, and in that way
the conspiracy was Matched and car
ried to a successful outcome"

THE STREET CAR STRIKE
A Cleveland Mob Of strikers Attack a
Car That Is Being Run

Cleveland, Ohio, June 19.-Up to 4
o'clock this afternoon this promised
to be the most uneventful day in the
big street railroad strike. At that hour
another serious riot broke out in an
entirely new quarter and one non
union man was sent to the hospital in
consequence.
The company began today the oper-
alton of the new lines-those on Sco-
will and Central The cars
were protected by policemen, and until
afternoon no trouble occurred. Just be-
fore 4 o'clock two of the Scovill cars
approached the crossing of the Penn
by a mob of more than 1000 men and
women. One of the cars was taken
across the railroad safely, but the 9TH
er was held up by h mob. A perfect
shower of paving bricks and stones fell
about the car and crashed against the
veStibule at the front end, behind
which a motorman was concealed. Wo-
men threw bricks and handed them to
the men who were in the o of the
crowd. The windows of the "a had
been lowered and the bricks crashed
against the seats and fell upon the floor
of the car. The conductor escaped in
jury, but the motorman, A. ]. McGrew,
of ST. Louis, was struck on the head
with a brick and rendered unconscious.
He was taken to a hospital. The pa
trolman on the car was also hit with
a brick, but was not seriously hurt.
A call was made for the police, but
when a detachment Of officers arrived
the mob had dispersed n no arrests
were made.

No French Cabinet Yet

Paris, June 19.-It was announced
late this evening hat Senator Wal
deck-Rousseau had declined the task
Of forming a new cabinet. The failure
of NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau is due, it is
said, to the refusal of Camille Krantz
to accept the portfolio Of public works,
held by him in the retiring cabinet.
But for this, the Waldeck-Rousseau
slate was complete.
MN. Poincare n Gullain made
their acceptance of office dependent
upon the inclusion of M. Krantz. The
latter, beside refusing the portfolio of
public works, expressed his disapproval
of certain measures which M. Wal
deck-Rousseau proposed to take
against the generals and colonies who
recently inspired a newspaper propa-
ganda in favor of the army.
The failure Of M. Waldeck-Rousseau
makes the situation exceedingly diff
cult Both M. Casimir-P erier and Gen.
eral Brugere declined to enter the cab
met. 1t is quite uncertain whom NJ.
Loubet will now summon. Possibly he
may call upon NJ. Sarrien or Paul
Deschanel, president of the chamber
Of deputies.

Bryant. who for Good and sum-
cieut Reasons Left Wilmington Very
Hastily Saturday Night. IN by This
Time In Virginia

Ari Bryant has certainly bid farewell
TO Wilmington. and there Is not the
slightest doubt but hi IL viii be a
lasting one. This was the natural sup
position Saturday night, based upon
a knowledge OF the strong inducements
offered Bryant TO depart from the city.
and yesterday II was proven that the
supposers were correct in their opinion.
The early morning freight train on
the Wilmington and New Bern rail-
o from this city yesterday when 1t
stopped at Scott's Hill. was boarded by
one scared negro. II was Ari Bryant,
and he displayed a Through ticket to
Norfolk, where h said he intended
going as faSs as possible. He stated
that Wilmington has no charms for
him. after Saturday rights proceed
ings, which he admitted were account
able for his sudden and rapid depart
ure, and hat lie amends TO in future
locate and conduct business in Phila-
delphia- He appeared extremely dubi-
Gus about the cat'o'nine' tails the party
Saturday night possessed, saying that
the party was not of so mild a temper
ament, but intended TO pepper him with
bullets from Winchesters.
1t is now plainly apparent that Bry-
ait = AZ "o1 v go -
by the party Of retributior dealing cit
liens going TO the wrong house. 1t is
stated that Bryant about $3.50 O'Clock
entered the house next to the store on
the northeast corner OF Fifth and Har-
nett streets, about a quarter OF a block
from his own dwelling. When the party
arrived at his house in search OF him,
he Immediately took fright and left via
the back door. He jumped fences and
ran through lots until he reached
| Sixth street, and then he bolted at a
| rapid fire rate from the city, finally
landing at SCOTS Hill, where he board
ed the train bound for Norfolk.
The quicknesS with which Bryant
| made his ext from the house designat-
I'd would have done credit to an old
and experienced legerdemain artist
From all appearances he was in the
front room Of the house, which room
was brightly lighted, while the other
apartments Of the dwelling were in
darkness. AS the party made its quiet
on the scene, a stray
canine crossed the path of some of its
members and got accidentally hit. The
dog gave a frightful yelp and scam
pered away, while just about the same
time there was an unintentional dis
| charge of a pistol. These sounds saved
the day for Bryant, as Immediately the
| light in the front room Of the house
was squelched; then it appeared in the
real ROOM, and the back door Of the
house was noislessly thrown open and
that muchly agitated coon, in the
"%pvrson'' or Ari, bounded out and COM
menced to vault fences to a place of
refuge.

DRAINED BY a TRAIN
Terrible Accident to a Boy who stole
a Ride on the Train

Yesterday evening at Z o'clock when
the passenger train No. 40, on the At
lantic Coast Line, left for the north, a
number of boys and youths who make
a custom of stealing rides on the out
going trains, jumped on the train at
Front street and rode to Ninth street,
where they generally jump off. In the
party was Steven Howe, a colored youth
Is years old, and when he jumped of
at the Ninth street crossing he struck
a sign post and bounded back and
struck the truck of one Of the coaches.
The result was that his forehead was
pealed and a piece CT bone n and a
half inches by about three inches was
cut from his forehead. The boy was
insensible when he was reached by
those who witnessed the accident.
Chief of Police Parmele and Sergeant
Skipper vert out and had the boy re-
moved to the city hospital. The bone
from his forehead was Wicked up at the
scene of the accidec; and taken to The
hospital and turned over to Drs. G. P.
Bolles and R. J. Price, who took charge
of the Gaze.
The surgeons fourd the bone of no
use in the operation but they dressed
til wound without any hope of saving
the life Of the body. The brain was ex-
posed and was lacerated. At last ac-
counts last night Howe was moon
scious and there is no hope of his re-
cOvery.

SiOOD

Gloucester, Mass, June 1S.-Howard
Blackburn, of this city, set sail at 1
o'clock this afternoon in his little
sloop-rigged, four-ton boat, the Great
Western, to cross the Atlantic. Black
burn followered a seafaring life on
Gloucester fishing vessels for many
years, and in January, 1888. was cast
away in his dory on the Grand Banks
with one companion for five days
without food or water. His companion
died, but Blackburn was rescued, al
though he lost his fingers and toes and
was otherwise crippled as the result of
his terrible experience. The Great
Western is stocked with provisions for
ninety days, and Gloucester, England,
is the point where Blackburn expects
to land first.

AeaIon of the Board Of Educan0n In
akegard to the swamp Lands Op.

Especial TO The Messenger)
Raleigh. y. c., June 19.-The state
board of education met this afternoon.
Isaac Meekins complained that the Ian
guage of the former order of the board
in revoking the option given him for
certain lands in Camden, Currituck,
P~asquotank, Perquimans. Chowan,
Hartford, BERTHE, Gates, Dare and
Washington counties was such as to re-
fleet on his integrity and good faith in
this transaction Meekins admitted
that he did represent to the board that
the option previously given Finch and
Failing did not ove these lands. He
said today he so represented in good
faith and that he so construes the Ian
guage of the option to Finch and Fail
ing. Upon this explanation the board
acquitted Meekins of any bad faith, or
| MISREPRESENTATION or intentional fraud.
The board adheres to it's former action
in decl-ring that the granting Of the
option to Meekins was erroneous be-
cause the lands are included in the op-
ton previously given to Finch and
Failing.

(From The Commercial Appeal, Mem

A. J.. Clements, of the firm of Glenn
ents & Daniel, cotton ginners of Lo-
noke, Ark, vas in this city yesterday.
Mr.. Clements was seen by a CONNER
cial Appeal representative in the office
of the American Cotton Company, in
the Continental building, and he talked
very enthusiastically of that company's
Roundup bale press, which he has
been operating at his gin the past sea-
son. He compressed about 1000 bales
on his Roundup bale press, and the
cotton was all sold at the press at
Memphis prices. Mr.. Clements says that
a Roundup bale from the American
Company's press will net from $3.50 to
$500 more than from the old press. In
fact, a farmer a few months ago made
a test of the matter, bringing the x
act number of pounds of the same
quality to Mr.. Clements hat he did to
a sQuar bale press, without letting
either gin know he was making the
test, and the Roundlap bale netted
just 1915 more than the square bale.
Mr.. Clements says that M a
has satisfied him of the merits of the
American Company's Roundup bale
press. 1t is a good thing he says, both
for the ginner and the farmer, and his
firm will continue it's use and abandon
it's other press entirely.
