THE BIRMINGHAM ROBBERY.
Two Young Men Arrested, and it
is Said Third Arrest will be
Made.

Birmingham, Ala, May 27:-City
detectives claim to have unravelled the
mystery of the $1,000 robbery of the
union Depot ticket Office in this city,
which occurred on May 16. AS a r9-
suit two young men, one of them be-
ing the son of j. M. Bibb, superinee
tendent of bridges and buildings OF
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
have been arrested and are now in Jail.
No one will be allowed to see them
and not even the name of the second
man arrsted can be ascertained. 1t is
claimed that the robbery was accom-
plished by boring a hole through the
ceiling over the ticket Office from a
vacant room on the second floor OF the
union depot and through this hole the
robbers looked through magnifying
glass and watched the employees OF
the Office work the safe combination.
It is said that on the night of the rob-
berry they entered the Office while the
night ticket seller was asleep and
worked the safe combination. The
detectives expect to recover all the
money and also to make a third arrest.

KILLED LION WITH Teeth.
Desperate Encounter of a Hunter
in Wyoming.

Landen, Wyoming, May 25.-All re-
cords of hand to hand encounters with
wild beasts have been smashed by An
son Sercof, of Torrey creek canyon,
who bested mountain lion few days
ago. Sercof was prospecting when
he ran across the lions den. Deter
mined to secure the kittens he dug a
way into the den. At that Instant the
mother lioness sprang upon him and
a struggle ensued.
The loness overestimated its leap
and did not secure a good hold, and
Sercof was enabled to twist about and
face the animal. With one hand he
erasped its lower jawfin such man
per that it could not use its teeth,
and with the other managed to cross
it's forefeet and hold them against his
body, so that her claws could not be
brought into action. Lioness and man
rolled over together, and Sercof work
ed his body in between the beasts
hind legs. In this position the lioness
was able to do very little with her
claws.
Sercof buried his teeth in the
beasts neck and tore frantically at the
flesh until he had severed the jugular
vein. The lioness soon became weak
and died from loss of blood.
Sercof weights only 120 pounds. {:

IMMIGRANT AGENTS
Must Pay $500 if They do Busi-
ness in the City of Anderson.

The city council held special meet
ing yesterday afternoon and passed an
ordinance imposing a license of $500
on immigrant agents doing business
in this city.
There is already State law requir-
ing license tax of $500 from i'm
migrant agents hiring laborers to go
outside the State, but this ordinance
seeks to place the same tax on agents
employing laborers to leave Anderson
and go to other points within the
State.
The occasion for the adoption of the
ordinance was the presence Of an i'm
migrant agent in the city who has
been employing laborers to go to York
county to work on a big dam being
constructed on the Catawba river.
Then man carried off about 40 negroes
yesterday, many of whom we're under
contract to work for Anderson people
an many OF whom were owing money
here. The agent said he was coming
back and the city council has under
taken to keep him from doing so.-

Paper gloves and stockings are now
being manufactured in Europe. As to
the manner in which the former is
made little is known, but the stock
ings have been carefully examined by
experts, and they are loud in their
praise Of them. It is claimed that
they will last almost as long as
ordinary stockings. The reason, they
point out, is because the paper of
which they are made, was during the
process Of manufcture transformed
intoa substance closely resembling
wool, and was then woven and other
wise treated as ordinary wool.

Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia is
very fond of joke and in spite Of
his multifarious duties finds time for
many amusing quips. When Bishop
Spalding of Peoria visited the arch
bishop some time ago it was arranged
that the Western prelate should be
entertained by lady prominent in
social and charitable affairs. The arch
bishop wrote him, giving some de-
tails regarding his prospective hostess,
and ended his letter thus: The lady

Here is a pointed paragraph from the
Philadelphia Record:
ssThere is weird hint that the daily
newspapers of Philadelphia, Pittsburg
and other cities will make no report
of the Machine State Convention at
Harrisburg next week. In the absence
Of busy special correspondents there
would be no reports of the speeches of
the Machine leaders lauding them
selves and each other and expressing
approval Of Gov. Penny apology
for the muzzler. The convention
would thus be consigned to Cimmerian
gloom. AS the nominations of the con-
vention are already slated, including
that of William p Snyder, one of the
muzzlers. for Auditor General, the
omission of any reports of its proceed
ings would be no loss to the public. :"
The suggestion is worth considera-
tion. 1t would hurt politicians great
deal more for the purposes to ignore
them entirely than to cartoon and
"libel' them.

REeANTs FROM FREE SILVER.
Or. E. Benjamin Andrews no Lon
ger Believes in the Heresy.

Lincoln, Neb., May, 26.-Free silver
has lost an advocate in the person OF
DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews. The Chan
ceIlor of the University Of Nebraska,
in an address before the class in eth
les, the largest in the university,
practically announced that he no long
er entertained the views he had once
held concerning silver coinage. This
change in views had been gradual in
development, but it was now liked and
definite.
In company with many others few
years back Chancellor Andrews SAID
he had been misled by the arguments
Of public men, and particularly by a
celebrated geologist of Europe, who
had, after much study and investiga-
tion, announced that the supply Of
gold was being exhausted and the
worlds mines would soon cease to
yield a sufficient quantity OF that
metal. :.
This made it necessary that there be
another standard Of value. Time had
proved the prophecy of the geologist to
besfalse. Instead Of lessening. said the
chancellor, the output of gold had
greatly increased and the supply now
seemed inezhaustible, and as result
prices of commodities, instead of 60
ing to lower level, had constantly
appreciated.
chancellor Andrews did not enter
into the political phase of the question.
Since coming to Nebraska ne has
been conservative in all his utterances
in connection with his former hobby,
nor was undue stress given to his ap-
ma rent con version in his address.

about l O'Clock fire was discovered in

plant of Schoolfeld, Boatwright &
Co. This plant is composed of three
large buildings each separate, but
connected by large fire doors. By much
effort and hard work the fire was con-
fined to one building, resulting in a
loss of about $4,000, partly covered
by insurance. The loss included about
100 hogsheads of tobacco.

guarded act brings catastrophe. It is
so unusual and difficult to isolate
typhoid germs from a suspected wa
ter supply that it may practically be
regarded as impossible, but if in it
is found sewerage bacteria, such as
the colon bacilli, it is justi6able to
infer that it is only question of time
when the typhoid infection will ap-
pear in such water supply. The re-
proach Of having typhoid fever in any
community ought to be deeply felt,
and sanitarians in a few years must
expect to be upbraided unless they can
check the spread of typhoid fever.
Water supply cannot be regarded as
the only means of infection, as was
proven by the commission appointed
after the Spanish h-American war to ex-
plain the prevalence of typhoid among
the volunteers This Investigation
proved conclusively that the common
house fly is frequently source of in
fection, carrying the disease germs
upon its feet and in it's intestinal
canal. The Importance of this source
cannot be estimated, and typhoid
cases should be screened to prevent the
spread of the disease.
Dr.. T. Grange Simons's paper upon
water supply was an admirable dis
cussion upon subject of growing i'm
portance to this section. It dealt
largely with facts and figures, and
was plainly stated.

ed to examine the sanitary condition
