ing scene.
i crowd Of high school cadets. bent
upon having a good time. were sauutering
down Pennsylvania Avenue Just after the
parade had passed on its way TO the
White House. Near the corner Of Ninth
Street they encountered an Italian bal
Ioon-man." He had between twenty and
thirty OF the little rubber balloons fast
ened together by long string which he
had wound around his hand.
One Of the boys upon spying the Italian.
stopped his companions. a hurried con-
versation followed. Finally one Of the
youngsters took out his pocket knife and
held it concealed in his hand
The crowd was particularly thick in
the neighborhood of the veuder, who was
standing near the curb. The cadets
Joined in the throng that was surging
around and past the Italian. AS they
passed him the boy with the knife quick
" reached out and severed the bunch Of
fine strings The act was committed so
quickly that no one saw how il was done.
The balloons were fully A hundred feet
in the air before the Italian became
aware Of what had happened. Uttering
piercing shrek he sprang up from the
pavement as though there was a posi-
bility OF clutching the fast r1treating
cOlored spheres. Then ne began a sort
OF war dance on the pavement, wringing
his hands and hurting imprecations in
Italian upon the heads Of the unknown
person who had brought the evil upon
him The crowd began 20 laugh and guy
the old man. The loss OF his stock Of
balloons seemed TO have affected him as
greatly as the loss Of a fortune.
For several minutes he danced about
on the sidewalk furnishing untold amuse
ment for the crowds who were watching
him. Finally, however, when the cadets
realized TO what an extent their prank
had affected the old fellow, they started
a collection and raised fully the amount
the Italian would have realized from the
sale OF his balloons. He was delighted
with the gift. and his lamentations i'm
mediately ceased

CAR OCCUPIED BY ROYAL VISITOR
IL Is the Columbia, which Was Ere
quentIy Used by the Late Presi-

Modern Appointments.

When it was decided that Prince Henry
should make a short tour through the
United States, Assistant Secretary OF State
Hill at once called into consultation the
officers Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and sought their advice con
corning the transportation features and
the itinerary
A formal contract for the transporta-
ton OF the Prince and his suite for the
entire tour vas entered into between the
representatives OF the Government and
the railroad company. The selection Of
the train was left 10 the railroad.
Every stop OF the train on its course Of
nearly FIVE thousand miles. every detail
OF its movement, was arranged by cor
respOudence and wire with connecting
lines fortnight in advance OF the start
ing date. The schedule was adapted to
the peculiar characteristics Of each con-
Meeting line. and the scope OF the tour
was measured by every available hour OF
the time at the Princes disposal.
Nothing Left TO Chance.
Every general manager OF every road
used knows the exact time he will receive
the train and the hours which he is eX-
pected to deliver it at each point on his
line. Nothing is left to chance. but ev-
erything relating 10 the movements OF the
train is IS absolute and as well under
stood as if it were a regularly SEIZED
uled train in everyday service
The selection Of officers and men, Of
which twenty-four compose the crew. was
made with a special view to their fitness
and experience. The crew includes not
only the usual attendants of a frst-class
limited train, but special stenographers,
a special baggage agent, and competent
telegraph operators.
The train consists OF seven cars. First,
the composite baggage and smoking car
Utopia, Pullman sleeping car, Biscay,
for the attendants; three Pullman com
partment cars, the Indiana, Ohio, and
Iowa; the dining car willard, and the
private car of the Prince, the Columbia.

The police arrangements for the safe
guarding Of Prince Henry while in Wash
ington gave evidence OF the greatest care
and thought on the part OF Major Syl-
vester.
All along the line Of the procession
from station 10 White House and thence
to the German embassy great numbers Of
bIuecoats were 10 be seen, who held the
crowds in check and conducted them
selves in a commendable manner.
Fully half an hour before the time
scheduled for the arrival Of the Prince
the Avenue was cleared Of all traffic. and
only those persons who presented
passes signed by the Third Assist
ant Secretary OF State were permitted TO
cross the lines until the Prince and his
escort had passed.
At the Pennsylvania station Lieutenant
Moore. in charge Of a detail of seventy
five footrnen and twenty-five mounted
men, cleared the immediate vicinity. and
as the Prince passed out of the train
shed. completely surrounded him.
His Carriage Enclosed by BIuecOatS.
AS he entered his carriage a platoon
OF mounted policemen under Acting Lieu
tenant Matthews was thrown across the
street in front OF the vehicle; another
platoon OF mounted footmen under Ser
geant Harry brought up the rear. while
Lieutenant Moore and his men hanked
the escort on each side. thus completely
boxing the procession for the march up
to the White House.
A similar escort was maintained from
the White House 10 the German Embassy
on Highland Terrace. There Lieutenant
Byrne with a large detail Of men had
cleared Massachusetts Avenue between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Streets. on
which the terrace is situated, as Lieuten-

ESCAPED CONVICT KILLED.
Resisted Arresting Posse at Griffin
and Was Shot.

Griffin, Ca, Aug. 23.-John Jones, an
escaped colored convict, was killed yes
terday afternoon by Albert Roam, the
1S-year-old son of ]. D. Roam, a far
mer living about four miles northwest
of this city. The negro escaped from
the Spalding county changing last
June, and went to Alabama, but re-
turned night before last to his home
near Mr.. Roans for the purpose Of
taking his wife back to Alabama with
him. There was a reward offered for
the capture of Jones, and learning he
was at home, Mr.. Roam called upon his
neighbors to help him make the arrest.
The house was surrounded and admit
lance demanded, which was refused by
the negro's wife. One of the party
saw the negro through a window and
called upon him to surrender which
he finally consented to do, but when
Mr.. Robert Roam caught him for the
purpose of tying his hands the negro
resisted and drew his pistol. which he
attempted to use on Mr.. Roam. See
ing that he was no match for the pow
erful negro, he called to some one of
the party to shoot the negro or he
would be killed himself Then it was
that young Roam fired the fatal shot
The ball struck the negro in the right
side, causing his death within a few
moments. The coroner was notified
and held an inquest last night the
Jury returning a verdict of justifiable
homicide. Jones was a desperate ne
gro, and is said to have sworn that If
he could get out of the gang, kill the
Roans and two negroes against whom
he had grudges and burn several
houses, he would be willing to suffer
any punishment that could be inflicted
upon him
