TOOK THE SAFE.
Bold Train Robbery, Last Night
in South Carolina.
Gang 0yerpower Train Crew and Make
OF With Safe.
Leader Supposed to be the Notorious
Barton Warren.

Branchville, 8. c., Jan. IA carefully
planned and audacious EXPRESS robbery
occurred about o'clock, this evening, on
the Southern Railway. when the passen-
ser train from Charleston reached near
ly the exact site of the successful rob-
berry of two years ago, five miles from
Branchville.
Seven or eight men were riding on the
platform between the engine and bag
gage 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
Winchesters. They fired two shots, one
ball passing through Reynolds cap. Fire
man Cobb escaped by jumping Off Con-
Guctor Black. who ran out, was covered
and ordered back.
By order of these men, brakeman I'M
coupled the express car, mail and bag
gage cars, which were taken to Fifty
Eight station, leaving the rest of the cars
on the main line. Here several shots
we're fired into the express car and one
man climbed mp, covered Express Messen-
ger Hall with 4 Winchester and compell-
cd him to open the door. Three men en-
tered the car and stripped the local safe.
After threatening Hall with instant
death if he did not open the through safe
and finding he knew nothing of the COM
bination, the safe was rolled out on the
platform. Then the engineer was ordered
to return with the three cars to the train
and he obeyed, bringing the train without
further incident 20 Branchville. Nothing
vas seen of the men or the safe on pass
ing 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 nj
passengers were molested. The robber:
took the pistols from the only employee
| who were armed and resistance was on
of the question. No measures have beer
taken so far to follow the robbers.
Their leader is supposed to be Bartor
Warren, who was arrested on a charge O
Having robbed the Southern express ca
/ just below Branchville in the fall of 1Ss
i single handed. The case resulted in ;
mistrial and bail was furnished. A few
| Gays before the next session of TIL
court, five months ago, he killed Thoma
Watson, his former friend, but one of tn,
principal witnesses against him.
| Warren has been at large since, ant
some say that he has been seen il
| Branchville at night several times since
though $500 reward had been offered TO
/ his capture.

The class parts for the High school
commencement have been assigned.
The first two, the valedictory and salu-
tatory, are determined by rank, the
former being awarded to Miss Rena
Archer, and the latter to Miss Ethel
Knowlton. Miss Archer not only holds
the highest rank in her class for the
course, but her standing is the highest
of any pupil ever graduated from the
High school, an honor of no small sig
nificance, as Skowhegan High school
holds high position among the fitting
schools of the State. The prophecy is
an honor which is assigned by vote of
the class, and they have chosen Earl
Smith to deliver this feature of the
program. The history has usually con-
stituted a part of Commencement day
exercises, but this year it was voted to
do away with it, and to substitute a
class will in it's place. Miss Miriam
Merrill was selected for this part. The
junior class will have an exhibition, as
last year. Both classes will be trained
for commencement speaking by Miss
Mae Hadley, who undertook the work
with such gratifying results, last year.

EMPEROR WILLIAM

Birth at Berlin.

Berlin, Jan. 27.-Emperor William
(who was born Jan. q, 1850 signallZed
his birthday, today, by comforting ter
ritorial titles on all the regiments
which had hitherto borne no distinctive
names. In an army order on the SUBJ
ject, His Majesty says:
I'm my army are united the tradi-
tions of many German races and lands.
1t is my endeayor, indeed my duty, to
cultivate these traditions. With us the
army and the nation are one. The MIS-
tory of my country is bound up in the
army May the new titles keep alive
the remembrance that the empire was
created by the capacity of it's individual
members and that it is the duty OF
every one belonging to the army to
strive to bring honor to his race or his
home, in rivalry with others. May this
thought serve as an incentive to the
troops to cherish the spirit which alone
in the army, can bring the greatness OF
victory
After the service. Emperor William
held a "congratulation court" in the
White hall. at which all the great digni-
taries of state were present. His Ma

REV. DR.. PARKHURST
Declares Against Belief That All Souls
Are Immortal.

New York. Jan. Elm a sermon on
Mortality, the Rev. DR.. Charles II.
Parkhurst in tho Madison Square Pres
byteriaE church, declared against the
popular evangelical belief that all souls
are immortal. He expressly gave 1t as
his opinion that the Scriptures do not
teach immunity Of a soul from death,
and that the soul must be taken care of
in this life or else it will perish utterly,
either at the death of the body or after
longer or shorter period of the life be-
yond the grave. DR.. Parkhurst said in
part:
There is nothing in Scripture or in
things that encourages us to feel that a
soul can be kept from dying any more
than a body unless it is taken care of.
There is no warrant from Bible or from
nature for supposing that a soul carries
within itself q policy of insurance
against it's own eventual obliteration.'
The sermon is attracting some atten-
tion owing to the fact that most Presby-
terians adhere to g belief in the doctrine
of Immortality of the soul.

There was clash in court, this after
noon. between District Attorney Jerome
and Coroner Goldenkranz. Mr.. Jerome
was in his offices examining Shaler,
| Bracken and McGrath, the men under
| arrest, when a policeman assigned to
| the coroner's office entered and under
the coroner's instructions, demanded
| that the prisoners appear before that
official. Mr.. Jerome allowed them to
60 but he and his assistants followed.
Coroner GoldenkranZ. who had al
ready impanelled a jury, opened court
and listened to an affidavit by a patrol
| man in which he said he had arrested
three men and that there had been an
explosion. Mr.. Jerome insisted that
| there was no information in the affi-
davit on which to hold anybody. There
was very wordy wrangle between the
two officials. In spite of protests the
corner gave the case to the jurymen.
who retired and came back with a YER
dict recommending the discharge of the
prisoners. The coroner then opened
court as a sitting magistrate, had the
men re-arrested and held them without
| bail. More protests came from Mr..
Jerome and the coroner changed his de-
cision, holding the men in $4,000 bail
each. r. s
| All this had worked up the feelings
Everybody so much that there was a
| free fight in which Mr.. Jerome was
| struck in the face by John Murray, a
coroner's clerk. who in turn was beaten
by two of the district attorneys detec-
tives. Then the detectives and Murray
had each other arrested but soon better
counsel prevailed and all charges were
withdrawn for the present.
1t was very late, tonight. before a
thorough investigation of the damage
