for tickets to Bridge Junction. The ticket
agent declined to sell them tickets 10
that point, sta ting that it was against the
rules and that no trains stopped there. The
men insisted on buying tickets, both APP
pearing nervously anxious to get on on
the outgoing Kansas City train. They
stated that the tickets were wanted for
several persons.
The supposition is that the robbery was
planned to take place at Bridge Junction
and the robbers were the men who want
ed tickets to that point last night, their
purpose being to go to Bridge Junction on
the Kansas City train and wait for the
coming of the Choctaw Express, which
reaches Bridge Junction about 1908 a. m.
Cashier Murphy of the Welis-Fargo Ex-
press Company said 1t was customary to
carry money in large amounts on day
light runs. He would not say how much
money, If any, was sent out of Memphis
last night. General Agent Longacre says
every effort is being made to apprehend
the bandits but owing to the bottoms
being overlooked he does not think the
dogs Will be able to trail them.

Atlanta, April 23.-The weekly crop bull
letin of the United States Department of
Agriculture for the Georgia section is as
follows:
The heavy rains, violent gales and I'M
seasonably low temperatures of the latter
part of the week were very detrimental
to the agricultural interests of the state
In many cases the weekly reports were
mailed before the full effects of the
weather could be determined, burt there
is strong probability that cotton which
was up in the South has been killed and
minor crops, such as melons, garden
truck, etc, have doubtless sustained dam
age. Despite the inclement weather, the
fruit crop Is still believed to be safe
The following are extracts from the re-
ports from important Southern counties.
Appling-Weather unfavorable; too wet
to pillow or plant.
Brooks--Good stands of corn; cotton
coming up; all crops about planted; oats
and gardens doing well; weather cool.
Bryan-Weather cool, with high winds
and some rain; corn not looking well;
rice planting progressing; fruit good
Camden-Fine week for work, which Is
well up; all crops look well; rice planting
going on rapidly.
Coffee-We feather favorable corn plant
ing about done; cotton coming up, some
being chopped and sided: fruit fine.
Glynn-Weather fine; good corn stands;
melons backward; fruit safe; potatoes
looking we'll
Liberty-Week favorable up to Thurs
day; poor stands of corn and cotton; cane
coming up peaches are safe; gardens
late.
Lowndes-Excessive rainfall on Friday
had detrimental effect on corn and cottoni
termination slow and poor.
McIntosh-Upland crops doing fairly
| well; low lands under water from storm
of 10Th, and considerably damaged.
Sumter-Cotton about all planted, some
coming up slowly; corn small; fruit pros
poets good; wheat rust has appeared.
Tattnall-Heavy rains will cause re-
planting of cotton in many cases; corn
being replanted.
Thomas-Damaged considerably by high
winds and cold weather; much replanting
will probably be necessary.
Ware-Crops about all UP and being Gull
tivated; stands rather poor; fruit safe
thus far; grain crops generally fine.

ing; fruit not hurt.

CHLOROFoRMED HER CAT.
Humane Act of Fair Compile In End
ing Misery of wounded Tabby.


Humane Act of Fair Compile in End
ing Misery of wounded Tabby.
Realizing only that a dumb brute was
suffering untold misery, and with no
thought of self. no matter how closely
she might be scrutinized by heartIess pc
destrians, a pretty and nicely dressed
young woman ran down Bull street to-
wards Broughton al an hour yesterday
afternoon when the street was thronged
with promenaders.
People watched her In establishment as
she made her way through the crowds.
Little did they dream of the mission upon
which she was bent, and before they
could recover from the first shock, she
had learned that there is "a drug store
on the corner of Broughton and Drayton
streets and turned In that direction. She
turned shortly into Broughton street and
moment later stood before the prescTip-
tion clerk in Rowlinski's drug store.
Almost GREATNESS from running, she
asked for rs cents worth of chloroform.
For what use 1t was intended was ex-
planned by the fair purchaser. She lost
not moment in reaching the street with
the bottle of poison. Down Drayton
street she ran and turned into York at
the Court House. At the York street
entrance 20 Hoyle's grocery store another
young woman was standing Her eyes
were resting on an object in trash bar
rel at the store door and her face bright
ened when the one with the chloroform
appeared.
Uncorking the bottle containing the Ii
quid one Of the young women saturated
her immaculate lace handkerchief with
the sickening smelling drug and placed
it la the barrel bleeding and mangied
mt rfaxN an tHs nile -
suffering was intense. The handkerchief
was not quite over its face and it gave a
gasp as IL struggling to get a full breath
of the deadly drug.
A young man, whose attention had been
attracted by the gentle kindness of tho
young women, more than by the agonizing
whines of the dying feline, adjusted the
handkerchief and relieved the wounded
animal Of its misery. Inc cats muscles
relaxed, .here was a plaintive pur ana
the bleeding brute passed from a state ~
misery into one OF pleasant unconscious
ness. Although many had been attracted
by the scene on Bull street few minutes
before, scarcely half a dozen were aware
of The pathetic incident that was transpIr-
ing before their very eyes. A manned and
helpless dumb creature mad been relieved
of pain and two hearts had been made
lighter.
The cat was not pretty to look upon
and had made its home in the grocery
store. 1t had gone into the street to en-
JOY a sun bath and watch the promenad-
ers, when its nine lives were taken from
II almost in a moment. A wicked dog
bounced upon it and before poor puss
could scamper away almost every bone
in her frail body was crushed. Although
MORALLY wounded she was still q living
creation of God and when ruthlessly ii
was thrown into the barrel by a negro
man the young women made up their
mind to send II to "cat heaven" as speed
lily and with as little pain as possible.
Theirs was a noble act of humanity.

AUGUSTUS RACE MEET OFF.
Authorities Shut Down on Pool Sell
ing and All Gambling Schemes.

Augusta, Ca, April 23.-The weeks rae
ing meet, which was to begin to-day at
Dan Bowles' track, just outside the city
was declared off, and Col. Horton and his
horses have gone to Columbia. The Mer-
rymakers have taken a determined stand
against gambling in all forms in the city
this week, and it was rumored that all
the gambling schemes were to be worked
at the races outside of the city,
The county officers notified the face
people that nothing of the kind would be
allowed, not even the selling of pools on
the races. 1t was insisted that selling
pools is legitimate, but the track manag-
ers were notified that they would be ar
rested and carried before the grand jury
now in session if any pools were sold
Rather than go into any legal controversy
or test the question, the race horse men
declared the meeting off and left town in
great disgust.
Col H. V. Horton of Asheville, manager
of the race meeting, feels that he has
been badly treated in not having been put
on notice two weeks ago, when he came
here to work up the races. He has been
here making all arrangements, adveLt Using
the races and booking entries, and insists
that he should have been notified by the
officials at the outset instead of waiting
till the hour to start the races, and after
he had gone to several hundred dollars

MANY TOURISTS CAME.
The Last Season One of the Best I'm
History of savannah.

The Last season One of the Best I'm
History of savannah.
The tourist season that has just closed
has been one of the best, if not the best,
that Savannah has ever had. This is the
general opinion of not only the hotel
keepers and railroads, but Of all who are
in a position to know. Mr.. r. w. Pow
ers of the De Soto Hotel, who has been
eneased in the hotel business for years,
and who for the past several years mas
catered especially to the tourists, says
that the last season was the best that he
has ever known.
There were more tourists, they had as
a rule more money, and spent more time
In the South and in Savannah in partic-
ular. While It is true, Mr.. Powers says,
that the great bulk of these travellers
were on their way either to or from Flor
la and visited Savannah only as stop
ming place to break the long journey, yet
savannah is every year growing more
nonular as a resort itself, and numbers
Of those that have visited the city casual
~ have been so impressed by its excellent
climate and many attractions that they
have expressed their intention OF WISHING
Il again and staying from several Weeks
10 as many months. In fact some nave
gone 10 far as already to engage quarters
for next year.
Other travel during the season has been
as good as that Of the tourist II not bet
Ter, Mr.. c. r. Graham of the Pulaski
agrees with Mr.. Powers that the season
has been one Of the best IN the history OF
savannah. and, though Mr.. Dub OF the

long experience IN the hotel business re-
members that there have osen pettef sea-
