The caravan comes and goes as II did

into England In the time Of Henry

wonderful elasticity, the secret OF
whose manufacture was lost when

Washington, Jan. 23.-The Cuban
reciprocity hearings were resumed to
day before the ways and means com

and a number of Cubans representing
the planters of the island in attend
ance. F. K. Carey, of Colorado, spoke
of the development of the beet sugar
industry of Colorado and it's bright
prospects if not endangered by Gu
ban concessions, which, he asserted,
would rebound to the great advantage
of the American Sugar Refining com
pany.
The claim that Cubans were starv-
ing, he said, had been torn to pieces
during these hearings.
Representative Hopkins, of Illinois,
questioned the witness as to whether
any concessions to Cuba would in
jure the beet sugar industry.
Mr. Carey declared that injury in
such case was inevitable.
Representative Hopkins expressed
the belief that a reduction could be
made of a certain percentage without
destroying the beet sugar industry.
Representatives Dalzell and Grosve-
nor stated that the injury to the do
mestic producers had been shown by
this and other witnesses.

Two Pay Death Penalty For

Crush Was So Great for Admission

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan 28.-Weston
M. KEEPER and Henry Rowe were hang
ed at 10:40 o'clock today in the Har-
risburg jail yard ip the presence of
1000 persons for the murder of Chas
w. Ryan The crush for admission to
the Jail was so great that it required
the combined efforts of the police force
and the sheriff's deputies to keep the
crowd away from the entrance. Sew
eral of the jurors were forced to fight
their way through the crowd into the
prison.
Rowe and KEEPER for several years
worked in and about the mines at
Lykens, Pa. On the morning of March
13 last they visited the Halifax Ma
tional bank, of Halifax, this county,

cash drawer, amounting to about $8,-
600. While one of them was fasten-
ing the lid of the satchel he laid his
revolver on the cashiers desk Mr..
Ryan seized the weapon, and in a
desperate struggle which ensued the
cashier was shot in the breast, dying

were captured by citizens. Within two
weeks they were tried and convicted of
first degree murder. Frank R. Scholey,
an accomplice, pleaded guilty as an
accessory and was sentenced to 10

Branchville. S. c., Jan. 28.-A care
fully planned and audacious express
robbery took place last night on the
Southern railway when the passenger
train FROM Charleston reached nearly
the exact site of the successful rob-
berry OF two years ago, near Fifty
Eight station, miles from Branch
Vile
Seven men, or probably eight, were
riding on the platform between the en-
gina and baggage car, concealed by the
darkness. None were masked At the
55-mile board two men crawled over
the tender and covered the engineer,
John Reynolds, with Winchesfers.
They fired two shots, one ball passing
through Reynolds cap. Fireman Cobb
escaped by jumping Off Conductor
Black, who ran out, was also covered
and ordered back.
By order of these men a brakeman
uncOupled the express, mail and bag
gage cars, which were taken to Fifty
Eight station, leaving the rest of the
train on the main line.
Here several shots were fired into
the express car, and one man climb
ing up covered Express Messenger
Hall with a Winchester, compelling
him to open the door. Three men en-
tered the car and stripped the local
safe. After threatening Hall with in
stant death if he did not open the
through safe and finding he knew
nothing of the combination, the safe
was rolled out on the platform and
placed on a tWO-horse wagon, which
was driven away. Tnen the engineer
was ordered to return to the rest of
the train, and he obeyed, bringing the
train with no further incidents to
Branchville. Nothing was seen of the
men or the safe on passing Fifty
Eight.
There was only a small amount of
booty in the local safe and no one
here knows the contents of the
through safe. No mail or baggage was
touched and no passenger was molest-
ed. The robbers took the pistols from
the only employees who were armed
and resistance was out of the ques-
tion.
The leader is supposed to be the
notorious Barton Warren. Warren
was arrested charged with having rob
bed the Southern Express car just be-
low Branchville in the fall of 1899
He was tried in 1901, and owing to
popular feeling in his favor and his
able counsel the case resulted in
mistral.

LAST OF SOCIALIST COLONY.
Court Approves Receivers Final Re
port and Dismsses Him.

Columbus, Ga, Jan. 28-The last
chapter in the history of the Christian
commonwealth, Muscogee's socialistic
colony, was enacted yesterday when
Judge Butt, in the superior court, ap-
proved the final report of Receiver
w. A. Ross and signed an order dis
missing him as receiver.
1t was thought at first that all the
assets of the colony would be consum-
ed in paying it's debts and court costs,
but in the final winding up a few hun
dred dollars was left over, which was
distributed to the shareholders in the
enterprise. Each stockholder received
$15.11. In several cases stockholders
worked hard out at the colony for sew
eral years, receiving but bare living
and even this small surplus of SIS
was unexpected.
Since the breaking up of the colo
ny its members have scattered all
