"A Young Man Returning From q
| Party Kills Himself.
News of a shocking accident or
suicide was received here Thurs
day morning from Fort Lawn.
Mr.. Charley Alternately, aged
about 20 years, while returning
from social party at Mr.. }. Nj.
Hough's Wednesday night, in
company with ayoung lady friend,
when within half mile of the
young lady's home and about two
miles from Fort Lawn, suddenly
drew his pistol from his pocket
saying "Im going to kill my
self,' and placing it to his tenn
pie fired, the ball passing into his
brain and killing him instantly.
He fell dead from the buggy, the
young lady screaming and jump
ing out of the buggy on the op.
posite side. Some young men in
buggies just in front of them
stopped and walked back to find
their young friend dead. No
cause can zoe assigned why the
young man should have commits
ted suicide and it is thought he
only meant to pretend he was go-
ing to shoot himself when he ac-
cidentally discharged the revol-
YER.
9osug Alternately was a son of
the late VIM. Alternately, who
was murdered by negroes in his
store at Catawba some years ago.
and was popular young man.
His sister, who teaches school at
Elgin in this county, was notified
of the death of her brother Thurs,
day morning and went at once to
the saddened home. Mr.. Aber-
pathy also leaves his mother and
a brother surviving him. His0re-
mains were inferred at Ell Bethel

ChargedWith Murderin Virginia
VIM Foster, the negro who was
convicted of manslaughter in this
county about ten years ago and
sent to the penitentlary for seven
years for killing daughter Of Mr..
VIM Cauthen at Pleasant Hill
while on her way home from
school, Foster beng drunk at the
time and carelessly shooting at
dog, is in limbo in Virginia on the
charge of murder. Lewis Perry,
COL, who also went from this
county, is charged as an accessory
to the murder, Foster having done
the killing with Perry's pistol.
The killing occurred last week at
coal mine in Virginia where the
two were employed. Foster was
arrested at the time of the killing
-
but Perry escaped and made his
way back to his people near Van
Wyck in this county, reaching
there Tuesday night last, only
few hours after deputy Sheriff j.
+. Hunter had been there search
ing for him. Of course he was
informed that the Sheriff had been
there looking for him and he at
once turned his face towards
orth:Carolina, but the authorities
there had also been notified to
looked out for him and he was
captured the next evening about
ten miles this side OF Charlotte.

The secret is out and Lancaster can

BIRD ESTABLISHES NEW
AGENCIES IN MILWAUKEE,
In Line With His Plan of Extending
Interests of Gould Sys-
tens.

In keeping with his announced policy of
expansion, A, C. Bird, re president and
traffic director of the Gould systems. has
established Missouri Pacific and Wabash
agencies at Milwaukee.
While on his trip through the West Mr..
Bird made a number of changes in the
Gould agencies, not, as he stated, with an
idea of reducing the force, but to carry
out his plan of consolidating the Gould IN
terests as much as possible by the estab-
lishment of one agency for all the lines
wherever feasible, and moving agents, who
could be spared to another point, where the
Gould lines have not been represented
The fact that the Gould systems were not
represented at Milwaukee has frequently
been the cause of comment in railway cir
cles. and the appointment of Thomas Howe
as general agent of the freight and passen-
ger business for the Wabash, ard L. ID.
Knowles, as general agent for the Missouri
Pacific and other Western lines. is regarded
as significant of Mr.. Birds approaching the
necessity of representation at this point
even TO having more than one agent to rem
resent all the lines
1t is believed that before long other agents
will be appointed at Detroit and other cities

Believed Western Passenger AssOcin.
ton WILL he Disruptcd.

Railway interests are watching with in
terest the fight in the Western Passenger
Association over the mileage versus the
credential plan.
As a result of the fight it is generally be-
lievcd that the Western Association will be
disrupted. and many are of the opinion that
it is only a question of time before all OF
the Passenger associations will be- united in
one body. which will act for all interests.
Rock Island interests said to be de-
cidedly in favor OF tie plan invented by
Traffic Manager John Sebastian. which is
known as the credential plan and which
possesses many admirable points.
BY this plan the travelling man purchases
a credential. for which he pays 81. If he
wants 10 go anywere he buys a straight
ticket, showing he credrntial. and is given
certificate with two stubs attached.
The conductor. on presentation of this GER
titicate tears off one stub and turns II IN
by the travelling man. and when he has
Travelled 2,Ooo miles in one year he turns in
all the stubs with his cIedential and Is
given a rebate.
BY this plan. If the travelling man does
not travel at least 290D miles in one year
! he cannot get a rebate, but he can get a
| rebate for 700 and all over that he mas
| Travelled.
Opposition to this plan developed at the
| recent meeting. 1t was claimed that many
use the certificate az means OF specula-
| ton and We're not entitled to the benefit. as
| they were not travelling men.
| 1t was stated that large per cent of the
| holders of the credentials would buy
| straight tickets anyhow. and the roads were
| entitled to the clear profits.
1t was claimed that by the use of the
| mileage ticket when the drummer would
| have TO pay $50 cash for his ticket 1t would
| weed out the large number Of persons who
were availing themselves of the credential
| plan, as they would not be willing to invest
| this amount for future and rather uncertain
| use.
On the other hand. it is claimed, by the
| credential plan the roads are certai;. of get.
| ting all Of the returns on the sale of tickets
| and the likelihood of the sale OF the mileage
| books to brokers and mistakes in tearing off
| the proper mileage can be obviated
| Opposition to the credential plan was alSc
| caused by the claim that it is often Difficult
| and troublesome for the travelling man t.
| get to the ticket Office to buy his ticket
| whereas by the use of the miea ge book hi
| can 20 to his train without delay.
| Figures produced at the meeting OF tbs
| Western lines were shown to the effect tina
while the ordinary local traffic increased
| large per cent the traffic of credentia
patrons increased to much larger proper
tionate extent. This was used as IN argu
ment in favor OF the statement that man,
regular patrons were availing themselves o
the crcdential plan. whereas under ordinar,
conditions or even If the road sold mica e.
books. they would travel at the ordinar,
rate ard the road would get the entire ben
eft of a normal fare.

in the Matter.

In regard to the purchase of the Alton
bridge it is claimed that the Terminal As
ISOLATION is not interested in the matter
but the negotiations are being conducted
and the purchase will probably be made
by the roads directly interested in the use
of the bridge for traffic purposes.
While It is admitted that these roads are
members of the Terminal family, the con-
tention is made that this fact does not
necessarily imply that they are acting for
the Terminal Association or for any Of the
other lines
1t is stated that the purchase of the
bridge is by no means dead issue, and a
committee consisting of President Yoakum
OF the Frisco and Julius Walsh president
of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company,
has been appointed to look into the matter
and report at a meeting to be held soon by
representatives of the lines directly in
terested in the matter
With the appointment of this commit
tee, 1t is stated, that matter was dropped I
