International Agricultural Corpora

EIGHT CHILDREN
NOW AT THE HOME
LARGER HOUSE MUST BE RENT.
ED AT ONCE TO MEET NEEDS
OF oRPHANAGE.

The number of orphan children now
in the care of DR.. w. T. Boaz, super
intendent of the Orphans Home, was
augmented today by the addition of the
three children of C. w. Jones. This
makes eight children now in the care
of Or. Boaz, and so urgent has the
need for an orphanage become that a
larger house will be rented at once for
their accommodation. Dr. Boaz has a
of places in view, but has not
as yet decided which will be rented.
The building will be used temporarily,
while the Orphanage is being COM
pleted.

special to The Herald.


SPRING HILL, Tenn, Nov. IA
bold burglar, probably the one who
has recently robbed number Of post
offices throughout Middle Tennessee
last night visited Spring Hill, robbing
and looting the stamp and money or.
der drawers of the local Office and
winding up his successful evenings
work by breaking into the Spring Hill
Drug Company, where he secured a
few small articles.
The robbery was evidently the work
of a professional, for so cleverly was
the lob done that the thief made good
his escape, leaving not the slightest
clue behind. The combined work Of
the local officers and blood hounds
failed to effect his arrest.
At an early hour this morning
butcher, who lives over the post Of
fee, was awakened by suspicious
noises in the building beneath. He
jumped out of bed and rushed to tht
telephone, calling on the operator to
notify the police This was done with
dispatch, but by the time the officers
reached the scene the man had made
his escape.
An examination revealed the fact
that the front door of the post Office
had been broken open, the thief after
wards going out the back door, which
fastened from the inside. The stamp
and money order drawers had been
rfed and looted, but the safe had not
been broken open. 1t is estimated
that several dollars in silver was ta-
ken although the stamps were not
molested.
The Spring Hill Drug com.
pany is owned by D. E. Mol
10y, and it. was not known
until this morning that it had been
robbed. No money is kept in the safe,
which was unlocked. After breaking
into the building, the crook proceeded
10 pry around in his search for mon
ey, but so far as known took nothing
of value. He was evidently bent on
finding cash, and in lieu of this would |
not accept merchandise.
A suspicious-looking man was seen
to alight from the train at midnight,
by the night operator. He is sup
posed to have perpetrated the rob-
berry, Bloodhounds were sent for this !
morning. The penitentiary refused to
send out the state dogs. Lawrence
burg was then wired for dogs.

going about the ordinary duties of life
Not once did he show the slightest
trace of fear, and it was evident that
he had firmly made up his mind to die.
An aide-de-camp rode up and sub.
mitted proposition from General
Dodge offering him his freedom If he
would but betray his friend. He de-
clined firmly, and went to his final end
with perfect composure. He showed
no excitement, offered no resistance.
He went to his death with the air Of
one who was submitting to the inevi-
table. During all the bloody war
witnessed no other such remarkable
exhibition of courage.
My command was drawn up in the
form of a hollow square, as was the
custom when a prisoner was to be
hung. We were less than fifty PAGES
from the scaffold, and l could see and

Capt. McGillicuddy is at present
spending the winter here with the
family of Mr.. Will Shields on s. Main
street. During the time that he was
stationed at Lynnville he formed an
attachment for the family, but after
the war lost trace of them. Some
years ago he wrote to the postmaster
at Lynnville, asking if he could tell
him the whereabouts of his old
friends. The postmaster knew moth
ing of the family, which had moved
away many years before. A young
lady happened to be present in the
office at the time the letter was re-
ceived, and she knew that the Shields
family had moved to Columbia. The
letter was forwarded here, and the
desired information furnished the I'm
ion veteran whose home is in Cleve-
land. Ohio Capt. McGillicuddy, his
rind turning again to the hospitable
hosts of the Sixties concluded to come
here for the winter, and is now with
he Shields family. Past three score
and ten years of age having been

The L. & N. railroad is making ac-

THE FISHING SEASON.

The fishing season is drawing near,
and gillers and seinehaulers of this city
and neighborhOod have about perfected
their plans. Compared with former
years, bat few engage in the uncertain
enterprise st present. The number OF

nets of Chesapeake bay and the lower
river and finally reached this vicinity Is
becoming less every year. The shsd
which began to fiod their way into Ches.
apeake bay last week sre slowly coming
into the lower Potomac. Upward OF
1900 shad caught in Chesapeake bay
reached Washington yesterday. There
we're also few which had been caught
about 90 miles down the river. All we're
fine specimens. Buck shsd were bring.
ing 80 cents each on the water front ADD
roe shad were selling for 81. The shsd
offered for sale in Alexandra during the
CAST few weeks come from North Caro-
lima and Florida. This morning several

ALMOST IMPAs5ABLE.

Much complaint Is heard about the
condition of Fairfax street, between
Otor oco and Pendleiop. The City Coun-
Gil appropriated several hundred dollars
some time ago to remedy the bad con-
diions existing at that time; the work
was done, bat 1t seems that some one
has given permission to business con-
Germ 10 that section to dump its refuse
on one side of the street, and the city
deposits street clesniDgs on the other
side, and both together make wall on
zach side 80 that the condition is worse
than 1t was before the Improvements
were made. When it ia remembered
that one plant, to which this street is
be principal way Of approach either By
loot or team, represents capital IN
vested of 800, 900, pay roll of $l2.-
600 monthly aud employs 25O people
all of sbom spend their money in this
city, there is reason for regret that con-
ditions are not better.
