An EFFORT IS MADE
TO WRECK A TRAIN.
Gilstrap and Tison Heroes
Indeed.
CAPTURED the TRAlN wREckEF
Desperate Flight With Armed Negro
Follows His Discovery in Woods at
Scene Of Attempted Wreck-Prompt
Work Saved the Train.

Engineer Gilstrap and Conductor t.
son of Americas have been the reCip-
iente of we'll merited congratulations
during the past day or two upon their
successful effort in frustrating the
wrecking of a Seaboard freight train
and capturing the would-be wrecker
after desperate hand-to. hand fight.
The train was coming to Americus
and had passed Manassas, when En-
, gineer Gilstrsp saw crosstie on the
track trainlength ahead, bat in time
to stop his engine before great damage
was done.
The pilot struck the tie, dragging il
perhaps hundred yards.
After the tie had been removed the
train started up again, but only to find
another tie @ short distance ahead
Engineer Gilstrap stopped the train
ere the obstruction was reached.
It was at this time that Conductor
Tison noticed negro man walking In
the woods several hundred yards ahead
of the train. The negro was armed
with shotgun, but did not appear to
be making any effort to leave the
vicinity.
In fact, the train was started again,
when the negro walked out of the
woods and began walking at the side
of the tracks.
A consultation was held, resulting in
the conclusion that the negro had put
the ties on the track. Conductor Til
son was not at all certain of the fact,
and was afraid that if he approached
the negro and questioned him and if
he was guilty he might shoot and then
make his escape.
He was afraid to take chances of al
lowing the negro to escape, but not
afraid to risk his life, as his later &C
tons would show.
He gave orders to the engineer to
proceed, but to keep the train at very
slow speed. He took his station on q
platform of one of the cars.
When the platform was abreast of
the negro Conductor Tison leaped upon
him and at once a desperate fight en-
sued, in which the negro made many
efforts to bring the gun in range with
Mr.. Tison.
The fight lasted bat few minutes be-
fore the train could be stopped and as
sistance rendered Mr.. Tison. He seiz
ed the gun and discharged the contents
in the air. He then wrenched it from
the negro and struck him across the
head with il, breaking the gun in two
pieces.
By this time the remainder of the
train crew rendered assistar ce, and the
negro was bound and carried to Ma
nassas, where he was turned oyer to
the sheriff. He was carried to Reds
vile where he is at present in custody.
Since his capture the man has ad-
mitted he placed the ties on the track,
but claims he had no desire to wreck
the train. He stated he had been or.
dered to place the ties there, but has
refused to divulge the name of his &C.
complete.
The occurrence will be thoroughly
investigated by the special agents of
the road, and it is probable that others
will be implicated in it.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.
1t Has Not Seriously Damaged Ameri-
can Trade.

Washington.-In view of the wide
spread feeling regarding the effect of
the Chinese boycott of American
goods, Secretary Metcalf of the De
partment of Commerce and Labor has
given out statement showing the
amount of exports from this country
to China by months. July, 1904, TO Jan
uary 1905, and from July, 1905, TO Jan
nary, 1906, respectively.
II appears from this that the total
exports for the seven months ending
January. 1905. amounted to 3,i32,94S,
whereas for the seven months ending
January, 1906, they equaled $2S,SG2,GS0
or Il total increase of So, i29,7 1872.
The shipments of cotton cloth goods
for the period first mentioned
amounted TO S12,947.530 while for the
seven months ending January. 1906.
they were S19.G06,SiS.
There was likewise an increase in
the exports of copper ingots. the
amounts being stated at Sl,4TS,197 for
the period ending January 1905. and
$3,l95. $50 for the period ending Janu-
airy, 1906.
A decrease of nearly 100 per cent. is
shown in the exports of mineral oils,
the amount of such shipments for the
seven months ending January. 1905, be-
ing $5,232 .307. whereas they were only
50. G9G, 900 for the same period of time
up to January, 1906.
The statement shows that the eX-
ports of the products named were
vastly less in January, 1906. than they
were in the month preceding, cotton
goods falling off TO the extent of $500
900. copper ingots Sl3i 600 and min
esal oils 1927 800.
