Negro Who Held Up Train Near sa-
 vannah. Ga., Captured Later. { SAVANNAH. Ga. Feb. 6.--The pri- vate car of R. G. Erwin, president of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad com pany, was entered and the occupants held up between Savannah and Macon while the car was being brought to Savannah over the Central of Georgia.
 A negro entered the car at Egypt. a small station about fifty miles, from Savannah, just before daybreak. He was accosted by the porter. The negro drew revolver and fired at the porter, the bullet going through the latters leg.
 The passengers in the car were MT. Erwin and W c. Elliott, general coun- sel. and their secretaries, Messrs. Sulli- van and Cronley They sprang from their staterooms to be confronted by the negro with two drawn revolvers. He ordered them all into one stateroom and hastily went through their clothes and grips He undressed himself be- fore the eyes of those he kept guard over in the stateroom and donned one of the best suits he could find.
 He then took watches and money and left the train while it was running at full speed.
 When MT. Erwin was seen, he said he did not care to express the feelings that, came over him as he looked into the muzzle of the drawn revolver of the negro. The loss to the occupants of the car aggregated about $40o. A dispatch just received here conveys the information that the negro, decked in all. the clothes and jewelry he had stolen, had been captured and will be brought to Savannah.

London. Feb 6.--Indications point to the fact that information received at the Japanese legation here from Tokao shows that Russia's reply, i'll the estl- nation of the legation, decidedly does not meet Japans wishes. The general tension in diplomatic quarters here to- day is unquesttonably increased.

Joke That Cost a Dollar.-John II.
Mclean, and the late Frank Hatton left
a Washington hotel one evening for
a quiet walk and business talk. AS
they We're meandering down resi-
dence street. Mr.. Hatton saw an Irish
man approaching with an unsteady
gait, and told Mclean he would have
some fun with him.
When they met, Hatton accosted the
half-inebrate, pushed him up against
a wall, handed him a half-dollar and
said:
"rake that money. and quit telling
the neighbors that l don't pay my
debts"
Mike gripped the money, gazcd at
Hatton. saw instantly that it was Il
joke or mistaken identity, and replied:
"Ycz fergit that it was dollar yer
borryed."
And Mr.. Hatton had to give up an
other half-dollar.

Century Of Leo XIII.

Century of Leo XIII.
(Translation.)
The passing age that woke the arts
And worldly veal from Natures heart.
Invites thy song.
or vanished years the waste to see
The wreck of Wrong, Iniquity-
All me, it grieveth sore.
OF crushed crown and lawless dover
OF willy wars on Peters power,
Shall l complain?
Flown is the fame all else above,
That taught the nations heart to love
The Pontiff's home.
Woe to goddess, guileful laws,
Which from the affairs aid Withdraw
They perish all.
Hear now wild wisdom's impious cry,
Nature is the power most high
The end-all here.
Senseless brute and man so free,
With scorn they join in destiny.
Estranging gulf!
LO, pOWerleSS Pride is doomed to dust;
o, man in God put all your trust,
And hear His Word.
For Truth is He and heavenly Light
His Will alone can guide the flight
OF mortal years.
The pilgrims love He late hath turned
To Peters sacred dust inurned-
n happy sign.
Jesus, bless the dawning days,
And bend proud nations Wills to ways
OF higher hope.
Let Peace succeed to Steel and Strife,
And Turing Error drive from life,
To dark abodes.
May kings thru Thee one voice obey,
And in one fold Thy sheep let sway,
A single head.
Let ninety years now crown my race,
May Leo's prayers thru power of
Grace,
All answered be!

When Erin First Rose.

When Erin First Rose.
When Erin first rose from the dark
swelling flood,
God bless the green island-He saw it
was good:
The emerald of Europe; it sparkled
it shone;
In the ring of the world the most
precious stone.
In her sun-in her soil-in her station,
thrice blessed;
With back turn'd to Britain, her face
to the west,
Erin stands, proudly insular, on her
steep shore,
And strikes her high harp to the
oceans deep roar.
But when it's soft tunes seem to mourn
and to weep.
The dark chain of silence is cast DER
the deep;
At the thought of the past, tears gush
from her eyes,
And the pulse of the heart makes the
white bosom rise.
80, sons of green Erin, lament DER
the time.
When religion was-war; and our
collntry-a crime!
When men. in Gods image, inverted
his plan,
And moulded their God from the i'm
age of man.
When the Interest of state wrought the
general woe;
The stranger-a friend; and the native
"a foe;
While the mother rejoic'd DER her
children DISTRESSED,
And clasp'd the invaded more close to
her breast.
When with pale for the body, and pale
for the soul,
Church and state join'd in compact to
conquer the whole;
And while Shannon ran red with
NIilesian blood,
Ey'd each other askance, and pro-
nounc'd it was good.
-.sf:i''S.,sa
BY the groans that ascend from your
forefather's grave,
For their country thus left to the
brute and the slave,
Drive the demon of bigotry home to
his den;
And where Britain made brutes, now
let Erin make men.
Let my sons, like the leaves of their
shamrock, unite;
stalk of right:
Give each his full share of this earth
and yon sky:
Nor fatten the slave where the serpent
would die.
Alas for poor Erin, that some are still
seen,
Who would dye the grass red, in their
hatred Of green!
Yet, Oh! when you're up and they
down, let them live,
Then yield them that mercy which
they did not give.
Arm of Erin, prove strong! but be gen
flo nS bravo.
And uplifted to strike, still be ready to
save:
Nor one feeling of vengeance presume
to defile,
The cause of the men of the Emerald
Isle.
The cause it is good; and the men they
are true;
And the green shall outlive both the
Orange and Blue;
And the daughters Of Erin her
triumph shall share,
With their full-swelling chest and
their fair-fowing hair.
Their bosoms heave high for the
worthy and brave;
But no coward shall rest on that soft
swelling wave:
Men of Erin awake! and make haste
to be blessed!
Rise-arch of the ocean:-Rise Queen
of the West!'
