SPARKLING IN THE DARK.

We clip from an exchange the
following which we commend, to
every girl and every girls moth
er who reads the Enterprise.
The above caption might mean
great deal, but it is used here
in the plainest sense. Just what
it says it means. Sparkling in
the dark" Society would be far
better morally if calls upon young
ladies' by gentlemen were made
in daylight, or when in evening
would end at ordinary bed time,
there cannot be doubt.
How often, how very often,
does the ruin of girls date back
to the time she kept company
with gentlemen after the usual
hour of retiring-after the family
had retired. What good can
possibly come of midnight court
ship? Surely none. Whatharm
may not come? It offers tempta-
tons where virtue is weak, is

While it may, and does, cause
hundreds of Young and innocent
girls to fall, never redeems one
who has gone astray.
There are many very good
young ladies who keep late hours
and still remain chaste. But
what have they gained socially or
morally? Nothing whatever. To
the contrary, they are at least
talked about, and maybe much
suspicioned. Suppose a gentle
man courts lady regularly for a
considerable time, then forsakes
her, or she is discarded at her
will, other gentlemen who might
be delighted with her culture
and admire her beauty, would
not care to marry her, for the

CHARGES AGAINST TYNER

Concerning the Indictment
against Tyner and Barrett, the
following statement was made
by the postoffice department:
Three indictments charge
Tyner and Barrett with con-
spiracy and two additional indict-
ments charge Barrett with
agreeing, while still in office, to
receive tees for services rendered
or to be rendered, in cases pend
ing before him as an officer. All
the indictments are founded up
on the treatment by Tyner and
Barrett of the business of the So
called bond investment com man,
les.
The indictments cite specific
cases in which Barrett, while still
in office, sought or agreed to re-
ceiye fees, or in which, after Bar
ret retired, Tyner referred eli
ents to him and approved new
contracts at his suggestion with
out even reading them over"

Two Men Are Arrested Trying to Force Their

part OF tue White house today.
One was Peter Elliot heavily
armed Swede, claiming to be
from Minnesota, and the other a
sailor recently dishonorab1y dis
charged from the United States
navy.
El1iot's mission to the white
house was of hostile nature, for
when trapped by the local police
men on duty at the executive
mansion, after having e1uded the
secret service men at the presi-
dents private Office adjoining, he
made violent attempt to escape
and severely wounded one of the
palicemen who assisted in his
final capture.
At the white house an effort
was made to suppress the details
of the affair, fearing that it might
lncite others to catch the crank
fever in view of the fact that
within less than week five dan
gerous cranks have been arrested
quietly at the white house.
Four days ago Elliot sent a
letter to the president demand
ing an interview. Accompany
ing the letter was a photograph
OF the sender. Private Secretary
Loeb at once recognized the COM
munication as crank efusion"
and accordingly turned it over to
the secret service guard on duty
at the white house.
THE CRANK APPEARS.
Early this morning Elliot ap-
peared at the presidents office
and attempted to force his way
into the presidents room. Door
keeper Leoffler said the presi-
dent was engaged and requested
Elliot to write his name on a card.
Elliot was too cunning to be
caught at that moment, so he
hastily took his departure, saying
he hac not had time to write
cards. In the meantime, the Sc
cret service guard had been mott
fed that the the man that they
had been instructed to keep a
bright look out" for had been
there and gone.
An hour later Elliot went to
the presidents mansion and
forced his way by the ushers at
the door and demanded an imme-
date audience with the president
Policemen James Ciscle and
George Parker, two mem bers of
the local force detailed for duty
at the white house, instantly rec
onized Elliot as the man thew had
been ordered to look out for.
They politely invited him to
the ante room, where Chief Ush-
er Stone makes his headquarters
and there he was closely ques-
toned by these two experienced
officers. He at once became des-
perate and attempted to escape.
Reinforcement came to the assis-
trnce of the policemen, and the
struggling prisoner was hustled
down stairs for transporta ton to
the nearest police station. In the
meantime van from the house

for some months, got on q drunk ano

We understand that she went to bed after
the beating and physician was sum-
moned to attend her. Complaint was
made by some member of the family to
Policeman Cain, who went up to look
after the matter. Before he reached the
house he saw Black sitting in the door or
on the steps with double-barrel gun in
his hands. He warned the policeman not
to come near him, as he had done nothing
to be arrested for and did not propose to
be arrested. Not wishing to be forced to
kill the man, the policeman came on back
down town. A warrant charging Black
with wife beating was sworn out before
Mayor E. r. Hays, by Blacks wlfe's
daughter, and placed in the hands OF
Policeman Cain for service. The mayor
instructed the policeman not to rush his
man, however, but to 60 slow and avoid
hurting him if possible; that there was
plenty of time to arrest Black, and when
he got over his drunk he could arrest him
without any trouble.
It is said that after defying the police
man, Black walked up and down the
street bv his house, still armed with his
gun, and stopped and turned back several
people who were passing along. He soon
ouieted down, however, or rather we sup
bose so, as little more was heard from the

Killed by O Train.

Last Saturday night Elliott Mack, "a
colored man who has been driving Mr.
Edgar L. Prices dray for several years,
was killed by the west-bound passenger
train, when passes Bamberg about eight
o'clock. The accident happened about
three hundred yards above the depot.
Elliott had gotten on the train to help
a woman named Sallie Motto on with her
bundles, who was going to Denmark. DE
stayed on too long and it is supposed that
in attempting to get off while the train
was going pretty fast, he was thrown
under the cars. The wheels passed over
both limbs, cutting off one near the thigh
and the other at the knee. There was
also hole in his head, which must have
been done by coming in contact with the
iron rail. No one saw him as he at
tempted to get off, but his body was found
by negro passing few moments later
His death must have occurred immediate
" after being run over.
An inquest over the body was held by
Coroner Bessing ger last Monday morning
in the court house. Three witnesses were
examined: negro named Charles
Thompson, the woman Sailie Motto, ano
the newsboy who was on the train Satur
day night. The woman testified that
both the conductor and herself told Elliott
not to try to get off, that they were
afraid he would get hurt. The newsboy
also said he ha6 warned him. The woman
said she did not see Elliott when he fell
but the newsboy said she came in the
train and said she hoped he wasn't killed
