BOUND WITHOUT BOND.

The preliminary trial of s. A. Burlington, the negro charged with dynamiting the house in south Camden, was concluded late last Friday evening. Jus tice Mccall bound the negro over without bond to await the action of the grand jury.
 It was shown in the evidence at the trial that a couple of the negro women who were in the house at the time of the explo- sion, had found a piece of fuse and a dynamite~ cap in the poc- kets of pair of Buffington's pants and that these trousers were concealed in an old box in an out house on the premises. These two women SWore that when Burlington found that they knew this he told them he would kill them if they told it. The first of the week following the explosion, the evidence further showed, Burlington went to the women and represented to them that the white people were go- ing to mob them if they stayed here On that representation the women went to TeXarkana and were, arrested there and brought back to be here at the trial. AS soon as the women went out of town Burlington walked out. too going to Stamps where be was located by means of a letter he had another negro write about getting his trunk to him. Attor- ney J. M. Barker represented the State in the preliminary trial and T. J. Gaughan for the de- fenSe.

 Most strikingly effective of all the religious dramas ever pre- sented is ''The Holy City" Clar- ence Bennett's powerful and in teresting play pictures with viv- Id strength and masterly power the scenes and incidents leading up to the betrayal of the Master by Judas.
 The dance of Saiome, the dau- ghter of kerodias before Kind Herod, is shown as is her sue oessful plea for the head of the great preacher. After Johns death events move with great rapldity and the plotting and scheming of the high priest and the Pharisees with Herod are de- picted as well as the giving of the |" rty pieces of silver to Judas. who promis es 60 betray Jesus into the hands Of his enc mics.
 The presence Of Jesus is, of course, only suggested but so cleVerly is this done that the spectator seems carried back two thousand years and fancies himself an actual witness of the great scenes which accompanied the enactment of the greatest tragedy in the history If tha world.

 At last he found a railroad superin- tendent who after considering the cause of his dismissal gave him a job. Conductors salaries are not bountiful. and Baker struggled for a year or more, denying himself and his family spared, before he made up the deficien- cy occasioned by his laying off and paid off the accumulation of sman loans during that period of suffering. Bless ed with an economical wife, he at last accomplished the task and could again But he never forgot the circumstances that led to his misfortune and never ceased to wish for an interview with the informer.
 One day after Baker had taken his new position q woman with a little boy got on his train. When he asked her for her ticket she began a pitiful moaning, and at the same time the child began to cry, but the ticket was not forthcoming. Ticket" said Baker sharply. ''I haven't any ticket" the woman walled. "My husband has just died and left me without money. I'm going to the poorhouse."
 Pay your fare or get off," said Baker resolutely.
 The woman only responded by tears.

Meanwhile passengers sitting near were listening, sympathizing with the poor widow and scowling at the con. ductor.
 Haven't you a human heart under your ribsg' sneered man.
 What brute!' flashed a woman.
 These and other remarks derogatory to the fiinty conductor were hissed here and there from the passengers. but they evidently produced no effect upon him. He stood looking at the woman, waiting for her to pay her fare. At last he made final demand and, receiving only the usual response Of moans, took her child from her and handed him to trainman. Then he pulled the bell cord.
 While the train was slowing up Baker stood mute in the aisle, the wo- man redoubling her moans. Cries of Coward" ''Dogw "Pigw "Brutew greeted the conductor He paid no at- tention to them, though there was a strange look in his eye. When the train came to a full stop he took the woman by the back of her dress and hustled her off on to solid ground. Then he turned upon her and rained blows upon her with the rapidity of Calling gun. That his feet should not be idle he kept them at work kicking her shins.
 The car windows were thrown up, and a score of passengers had their heads out the windows, crying "Stop him" Don't let the hound kill woman" Wont some one put an end to this barbarity?' and many other remarks of similar intent But pro- miscuous crowd Is never apt to do knight errantry work unless some bold spirit steps forth to take the lead So Baker pounded with no other interfer- ence than words. Finally he gave jerk on the would be deadhead's dress that tore 1t from neck to skirt, leaving mans vest beneath.
 Then for the first time the onlookers realized that the widow was not even woman, much less mother. Baker went at the man again with redoubled vigor and when he had pounded him almost to jelly stopped and said:
 You spotter! So you're still playing your game, are you? 1 recognized you the moment l saw you as the man I passed and gave quarter to more than year ago. You caused my dis charge, and my family nearly starved to death. You've rigged yourself up as a woman and borrowed the child to help you keep up your contemptible work. Take thatr"
 Again the blows fell on the spotter. But there had been a change of sym- pathy. It had passed from the spotter to the conductor. The cries were now: Hay 1t on, conductorv' "Give 1t to him" Hit him againr'
 When Baker was satisfied he called to the trainman to put the child down beside it's parent" signaled the en- gineer to go on and jumped on the train. As it pulled away the passen- gers shouted derisively at the spotter and when he was out of hearing cluS- tered around the conductor. wing with each other for an opportunity to shake"
