Clusky, said: well, that is a good
thing" But the average citizen thinks
no further of the incident. As matter
of fact the thieves than leave New York
under such orders are comparatively
few. 1t is likely that out of the 400 told
to get out % or 30 will actually do so,
put it will be only to move to some other
large city. The professional thief,
whether he be Il pickpocket, "strong-
arm man." porch climber, forger,
or one Of the many other varieties. can
only exist i'm the cities. He finds there
is nothing for him to do in the country
or the villages. AS for the thieves who
apparently obeyed the orders Of the
chief of detectives. they were undoubt-

as their business-if we may call it
that--necessitates a rambling life. As

of gentry" may take stroll any

New York thief, for instance. know a
certain person whom | could locate in

are classed according to the work they
do. like tradesmen. A man who makes
his living entering houses by means of
porches would be as unable to get a
dollar by picking pockets as he would
by silk weaving. On the other hand a
pckpocket could not keep from star
wing to death if he had to go to sand
bagging. Not only do they do their
work in classes, but they live in classes.
So if the thief l wanted to find were a
'strong-arm gun" or highwayman, my
man in Pell street would look for him
at once in the Cherry Hill district. If
he were a burglar he would live in
Chrystie street, and so it would be with

natural that they should all flock to

Congressman Jones has received the
following from his secretary at WASH

the construction of the canal under the

Code. The contractors as you probably
know, are required To employ Indians in
the construction Of the canal wherever
practicable. All the work under this
authority is to be done under the general
supervision and direction of Inspector
Code. Mr.. Lynch had not been in
formed of this authority before for the
reason that it was necessary for the de-

of the specifications and blue prints Of

Narrowly Escape DEATH.

Last Friday evening while ont riding
on Mob Hill Mrs. Sue NJ. Brown, Mrs.
viii Lemon and Mrs. Frank Lemon had
a very unpleasant and somewhat har-
rowing experience. The three ladies in
a buggy were driving leisurely down the
road which leads from Dan Lesh's resi-
dence on Mob Hill, when the breeching
and holdback straps OF the harness
broke, allowing the vehicle to plunge
forward down grade upon the launches
of the horse, which became frightened
and commenced to run and kick. All
control of the animal was lost, and it
soon became apparent that something
was going to happen of serious nature.
The horse came to a turn in the road,
but regardless of the opening before
him, he dashed straight forward into a
barbed wire fence, and just as he
reached the fence Mrs. Brown was
knocked out OF the vehicle by kick
from the horse, which proved very
painful bruise.
Mrs. Frank Lemon was thrown from
the buggy, sustaining slight injury,
while Mrs. Will Lemon retained her
seat. Everything came to a standstill
when the fence obstruction was encoun-
tered, and Mrs. Will Lemon alighted
from the buggy, and walking toward the
head of the horse made a motion to
seize the bride when he suddenly reared
up on his hind feet, the hoof of one
front foot striking Mrs. Lemon under
the chin and knocking her back upon
the barb wire, which inflicted an ugly
wound on the side of her face.

At an early hour this forenoon,
probably at II or 70 o'clock, Monroe
Adams will be hanged in the inolosure
behind the Jail building. Only the
officers, guards, physicians, ministers,
and such friends as Adams may select
will witness the execution, and this
will be expedited with as little delay as
possible.
There will be a great crowd of Gu
rious ones in the street outside, as
usual upon such occasions, but not
one of these by any possible means
can get glimpse of the gallows.
A barricade twenty-five feet high
will shut ont the view.
A number of people called at the
jail yesterday and to these Adams
talked quite freely. He is Yisibly ner-
vous-a shadow of his former self-as
he has become very much emaciated
during his long confinement of nearly
ten months. He has no appetite, and
the good food carried him daily is very
often left untouched.
Adams attempted to stand for q

after three or four minutes his knees
gave way and he fell to his cot.
Several colored ministers have called
upon Adams, and to these he express.
ed confidence that his sins were all
forgiven. Some of his relatives and
friends have seen him likewise, and
these will probably return this morn.
ing for final farewell. Everything is
in readiness for the execution.
Adams relatives will probably claim
his remains for burial, else the county
will attend to it.
Adams has requested that represen'
ia ives of the press be debarred from
witnessing his execution.
Yesterday he selected the names of 6
dozen of his white friends, whom he
desired to be present when be shoots

handcuffed. The negroes have hor.

intention of telling some startling facts

Americas.
OF SECURING THIS EXTENSION

minus, Towards the GuIf-Does

1t is understood from a trustworthy
source that an early extension of the
Wrightsvil e & Tennille Railway to-
wards the Gulf is now contemplated,
and, if true, Americas will be interest
ed to the end of having the road built
here from Hawkinsville, the present

zens of Vienna are now in correspond
ence with several business men of
Americas to the end of cooperating
with US in securing the building of the
line through Vienna here, where it
would secure an outlet 10 Birming ham

vile & TennilIe is destined to become
a great railway system, and from Haw-

sixty miles, the proposed line would
traverse splendid agricultural and
tlmbered region. OF course nothing
in the way of definite proposition has
| been made by the company, but if
Americas evidences interest and en-
thusiasm in this important matter
there is no doubt whatever but thai
the company could beinduced to build

Our two children had severe attack

everything we heard of without getting
relief. We then called in our family
doctor who prescribed FOley's Honey

began to i'm prove and we feel that it has
saved their lives. Refuse substitutes.
