ihckhey carson, negro llVlnR near
tho scene of tho robbery was forced
undor penalty of death to haul the
safe to the river. The negro Carson
WAS asked about the robbery this
morning and admitted that he had
been forced to haul the safo away
and piloted Superintendent Sadler
and othors to the river about four
miles from whore tho robbery oc.
Cured, where the safe was found.
The robbers failod to got into tho
sefe and had tied u ropo to it and
threw it into tho river. 1t is thought
that they woro afraid of being
caught if they kept on hauling tho
safe and threw it into the river in
tending to return later, open tho
safe and get their booty.
OF course there are suppositions,
but SO far as known there is no ac-
tual clue rs to who the robbers
were.
Sheriff Dukes and his deputies re-
turned home this afternoon.
STORY OF TIE RECOVERY OF SAFE FROM
STREAM.
Tho dispatch given above briefly
tells Of the recovery Of tho through
safe taken from tho car and hauled
away in wagon by tho train robbers.
1t was known hero carly yesterday
that the safe had been found in the
river; that it had not been broken
open and that It's contents were So
cure. The amount Of those contents
has never been made public. Some
say that it was large; the express
officials convey tho idea that it was
small.
At o'clock yesterday morning
Mcssrs. Sndlor and Richardson and
several other express officials went to
the scene Of tho trouble. Thcy wero
accompanied by two Columbia drtcc-
tlves, Mess s. Bishop and McCabc,
and DR.. Stanford and Coroner Grccn
with the Iino pair Of bloodhounds
owned by DIR. Stanford. At King
Vile the five bloohhounds from tho
State farm wore picked up, making
seven in all.
"Fifty. Eight" was reached before
daylight and Charleston, Augusta
and Charlotte detectives were there.
Coroner Green and Mr.. Stanford
returned in the afternoon with the
Columbia dogs. Mr.. Green tells Of
the days work.
A CAREFUL NEGRO.
The detectives were not at work
long before they found n negro liv.
ing near the depot, who said that the
men had made him turn over his
wagon to haul the safe. He told
them that they had carried the safe
to a point six miles away on the river
and had there dumped tho safe into
the river and left. He had followed
them though ordered not to do SO,
see that tho mule was not overdriver
or taken away altogether. When he
carno up to the river bank they forced
him to help them unload the safe
He says he only saw three mon; thoy
we're white mon, but he did not know
them. They shot two or three times
when they first came to his place
The negro's story is conflicting ir
some respects and the officers believe
he knows moro about the affair thai
he told. He has been arrested il
consequence.

The officers made tho negro pilo
them to the spot where the safe WA

TIE FLAGMAN'9 STORY.

'ooI o|oilcs lOT LnO whole ALTAR IS
that told by Drayton Shlrer, tho in
telligent flagman who went through
the whole experience and who came
very near being killed. IIo says
that hc thought there WAS something
the matter with the air brake when
he heard the noise and he went ahead
TO inquire into it. AS he got up to
tho express car he heard the shoot
ing, and the three men who were
walking on tho ground cried to him
that he had better get inside or they
would kill him. He called TO Bag
gage Master j. W. Butler, who let
him in tho baggage car, aud Just as
he got inside bullet came crashing
through the side of the car just over
his head. Mr.. Shlrer told the men
that he wanted to go to the rear end
OF the car, as there was q freight
train behind. His appeal to get
back to protect the train did no good.
By this time he was in the baggage
car and the train was disconnected
and he was taken on ahead about
two miles and the passel ger part Of
the train was left behind The men
kept up constant fusilade and all
the time were insisting that it would
be dangerous for any one to show
their heads, and they cursed like
troopers and called each other Mike
and Pat, and all orders were to Mike
and Pat.
MIR. Shirer says that the men he
saw had black faces, but he and the
others are OF the impression that
they were white men who had black
ened their faces. Conductor Black,
who was IN charge Of the train, heard
the firing, and before he could get
up to the head Of the train the front
cars we're detached and carried away.
AS his flagman had been carried off
in the front section he had to pl otect
his rear end from the freight train
that was behind, and he gave that
his personal attention, and when the
engine backed up and got the train
connected he went on to Rranchville
and reported the occurrence.
Mr.. Fair, who was in charge of
the mail car, did not open his car
door, nor was he anxious to have any
communication with the robbers.
They knocked at his door and he did
not answer. And they left him alone
and he left them alone and nothing
on his car was interfered with.
THE BAGGAGE MASTERS STORY.
Baggage Master j. W. Butler tells
good story about the robbers. All
the way coming up he was "cussing'
the heavy drummers' trunks that ho
had to handle, but whom the firing
began he thought the drummers and
their trunks were God send to him,
and he and Mr.. Shiver did not hesi-
tate to use them as barricades against
tho fusillade.
WHAT MESsENIER HALL SAYS.
Express Messenger Hall had a
short but lively story. AS he WAS
made to keep his back to the robbers
he could not tell much about them
nor what they did. He gave q COM
plete story of the occurrence to the
express authorities, who are already
at work on the matter. He thinks
that there were certainly five, and
possibly eight, in the band Of rob-
bers

WHAT MESSENGER HALL SAYS.
TIE ENaINEER's ADVENTURE.

The most picturesque story is that
Of Egineer John Reynolds. He put
no frills on his story. He is one Of
tho oldest and best engineers on the
road and tells how he weighed the
whole matter, and decided that it
was tho best for HIM to remain at his
post and not try to be funny. AS
soon az the men got on his cab they
examined him to make sure that he
had no pistol, and examined his
spectacle case to see that it WAS not
a pistol case. One Of the men told
him that the shot which cut his cap
was accidental, and that they would
not harm hair on him for tho
world, and assured him.
One of the mon called him by
name aD@ another referred to him as
"Uncle Johnny" his nickname. 1t
was evident that the men or some of
them knew him very we'll. Capt.
Reynolds says that he did not know

viii provide place OF worship, and al
the same time keep intact as memo
rial the room where the creed was
born.
The house is 12 Broad street, cen
trally located, and an ideal location
for church purposes. 1t is the Mecca
of thousands 81 pilgrims, who come
from far and near. At present it is
occupied by two families, and they
have both been so beset by visitors
that they have finally been obliged, in
self-defense, to forbid inspection of
the interior of the premises, except
in rare cases, where people have trav-
eled exceptionally long distances with
this in view. The upper tenement is
occupied by Mrs. Cole, and the tide
of travel turns more naturally in her
direction than to the lower part of
the house, from the fact that the room
Mother" Eddy occupied, and where
she performed her task, is in the up
per tenement.
The room which is the subject of
such solicitation is plain, small, and
at the present time occupied by a
Swedish domestic, who appears sub
timely Indifferent to her surround
ings. 1t is lighted by a small gable
window and skylight in the roof,
which is to be seen in the picture.
One door opens into the hallway and
the other leads to a small closet. The
view is practically confined to the
glimpse of the next housetOp, which
may be obtained through the skylight
by dint of craning ones neck, and the
beauties of a lane, which may be seen
from the rear window. There was
certainly nothing to distract Mrs.
Eddy's attention from the work in
hand. Whatever else is changed in
remodeling the house, it is likely that
this room will be preserved as
memento of the woman and her work,
which has gathered such an array of
followers since ii has been under way.

MR.. SMITH WON OUT
After Months of Patient Submission
the Worm Turned.
And His StrOnG-Minded Matrimonial
Partner Met Her Waterloo
Righteous Fury Tint Led
to Permanent Peace.

There lives in a small town in west
srn New York, not far from Buffalo,
an estimable lady with matrimonial
procliyities. She has married three
times and is yet barely past middle
life.
Her various names have blOtted from
memory her maiden name. but she
became Mrs. Green on entering matri-
monial relations with her second hus-
band. Mr.. Green died a few months
after the marriage, but Mrs. Green
did not believe IN living single, and she
cut short the conventional period of
mourning in order to enter unincum-
bered into negotiations with a we'll
to-do farmer, who had paid her some
attention in her younger days. The
affair progressed with eminent salts
faction to both interested parties, and
finally eliminated in their marriage.
Just one cause of dissension arose
90 mar their connubial bliss, says the
New York Times. The new partner
Of Mrs. Green's joys and soTrows was
known to the world as Smith" Now,
Mrs. Green did not care to descend
from the halo of that noble Anglo
Saxon name Green, TO the most pie
beian ranks of the Smiths. She re-
fused, therefore, to be silent member
In the partnership, and insisted that
her friends continue to call her Mrs.
Green. Here the trouble arose. Mr..
Smith did not like the idea, but he
was one of the submissive kind whose
ideas do not count. Their friends, how
ever, refused to call her anything but
Mrs. Smith.
The submissive husband finally arose
In his wrath and applied an effective
remedy. The women of the township
have a vote on school matters, and a
meeting was to be held in the district
school, two miles from the Smith farm.
The day of the meeting turned cut to
be stormy, but Mrs. "Green" insisted
on going, regardless of the weather.
Bv six O'Clock in the evening the roads
were under several inches of mud, and
the rain was still pouring down. Mr.
Smith had his orders, however, and
obediently harnessed up his team and
drove his wife through the mud two
miles to the scholhouse.
The meeting was called to order and
the roll taken of the property owners
present. Mr.. Smiths name was called.
He responded with a mild Here"
His wife's name followed - Mrs.
SMITH" No reply, although that
lady sat at her husbands side. She
would be "Mrs. Green" or nobody.
Mr.. Smith was righteously furious.
At the close of the meeting he went to
the shed for his team and drove up to
the school door. His wife came out
to Join him for the trip home. As she
gathered her skirts to step into the
rig Mr.. Smith inquired:
Have you seen Mrs. Smith around
here anywhere?"
His wife was somewhat taken Aback
by this unexpected sally, but recOv-
cred herself and replied:
"Nol I have seen no such person"

entreaties she hit the animal sec
ond time, when it plunged forward
and horse. buggy, boy and mother
were in q torrent.
The boy was thrown on log, one
OF the many being washed down the
creek. The log was driven into q
piece of high ground and stuck fast.
Several hundred yards below the boy

answered her, but was afraid to trust
himself to the swift current.
At the second answer he heard .

peared swimming out from the bank.

log and grasped the horses harness,
when the animal swan with him to

There he must have become uncon-

reached a farmhouse half a mile
away, and the watch found on his
mothers body had stopped ct nine
o'clock.
