Locked in for Two Years.

New York, Dec. 24.-Henry De-
Groff, a delicatel looking boy II years
old, told Justice Salmon in the chill
dren's court that his mother, Mrs.
Annie DeGroff, had kept him locked
In their fat at 1870 Third avenue for
two years. Once or twice, he said,
she had taken him to the Bronx to
see his older brother and his grand
mother. Then she kept tight hold Of
his hand ali the time.
Henry's hair fell over his shoulders.
He said it had not been cut since he
had been immerseu. Robert M. Co.'S
grave, the Gerry agent, who took
Henry from his mother, told Justice
Salmon that the rooms at 1870 Third
avenue were far from clean and that
when he found the boy he was in
rags. The attention of the society
was called to the case, he said, by
notes Henry had written on scraps Of
paper and thrown out the window.
These had been picked up by the
neighbors. They were appeals for
clothes that >heN might go out on the
street.
Mrs. DeGroff had been notified to
be at court, but she did not appear.
Justice Salmon remanded Henry to
the Gerry society.

ACCIDENT NEAR HAMPTON.
Harry Mason Shot while Preparing
to 60 Hunting.

Hampton, December 26.-Harry
Mason, young man, living ABOUT one
mile from this place, was accidentally
shot this afternoon by Willie Priester,
and died of his injuries at 6 o'clock.
It seems that Harry Mason, Willie
Priester and Tillman Crews composed
a party about to go hunting. Priester
had already mounted and Mason was
about to mount, when gun in Prizes
ter's hands, about eight feet away,
went off, the load entering Mason's
right shoulder from the front.
The, accident occurred at the home
of Mr.. John Priester, with whom
young Mason, who was about 19 years
old, was staying.
Prompt medical attention was given
the young man by DR.. c. o. Rush,
but to no avail.
Priester and Mason were first
cousins, and the unfortunate occur
renee is deplored by all.

Shooting at Johnston.

Johnston, Dec. 24.-Jim Edwards
was shot and seriously wounded by
Dantzler Toney here this afternoon
about o'clock. The injury to ed
wards was the result Of unusual cir
cumstances, Edwards being an inno-
cent bystander and being struck, ap-
parently after the ball had ricocheted
from the forehead of John Forrest,
with whom Toney was struggling at
the time.
r>Toney, it is said, had an overcoat in
pressing club. Edwards had sent
cloak belonging to his wife to the
same pressing club to be dyed. For
rest and Toney passed high words,
and finally came to blows. While they
were clinched the negro in charge Of
the pressing club asked them not to
fight and separated them. They join
ed battle again and Toney knocked
Forrest out. Jim Edwards, at this
stage of the proceedings, entered the
room. Edwards's story is that he
thinks Toney did not mean to hit
him, but fired at Forest.
In Forests forehead is bullet
wound, the ball apparently having
glanced under the skin and sped on
ward into Edwards's face, striking at
the nose and emerging behind the
ear.
Ewards is resting well and hopes
are entertained that he will recover.
Toney has not yet been arrestd. It
is thought that he will surrender to-
morrow.

RAILROADS CLASH.
Seaboard Tries to Prevent Work by
the Atlantic Coast Line.

Columbia, Dec. 27.-An ugly sit
uation at Cheraw with about fifty
armed employees of the Atlantic
Coast Line confronting representa-
tives of the Seaboard Air Line, the
former trying to establish by force
crossing over the Seaboard's main
line, and the Seaboard trying to pre-
vent the success of such efforts, has
been relieved, it is hoped, by per-
emptory telegraphic order from Rail-
road Commissioner Caughman for a
cessation of work until further in
structions.
On Friday night the Coast Line
commenced laying the crossing,
which the Seaboard men tore up on
Saturday morning while the Coast
Line force was at breakfast. A To-
comotive with banked fires which the
Seaboard had placed on the crossing,
was removed by a Coast Line en-
gineer, the Seaboard's train crew be-
ing restrained by town policemen
from interfering. The Seaboard's
crew was kept under arrest for
nearly two hours.
The railroad commission had
granted permission to the Coast
Line to establish the crossing, but
stipulated that the interlocking
equipment satisfactory to the COM
mission and by it approved before
hand should be provided to prevent
collisions. There is mo- record at the
commissions Office of. any engineer
to inspect such equipment being ap-
pointed, but State Counsel Wilcox,
of the Coast Line, telephones from
Florence that his father-in-law, Mr..
Brunson, was designated for the
work by1Commissioner Earle, and is
on the job. The commission will
probably go to Cheraw soon, perhaps
tomorrow, to look into the situa-
tion.

States Won't Lose.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The coming
congressional reappointment will
provide for a total membership of
435 in the house of representatives
according to present indications. This
would mean member to every 211,-
700 population.
Mr.. Crumpacker, chairman of the
house committee on census, and some
of his associates have been digesting
the statistical calculations recently
compiled by the census bureau to
show the effect of various systems of
appoStionment on the representation
of the different States.
OF the 16 members Of the commit
tee 11-members are from States
which would lose one or more repre-
sentatives If the present number of
members of the entire house is main
tanned in the light of the population
shown by the census just completed.
It is likely that these States will not
only be protected but as Mr.. Crum-
packer and others believe, that an
increase to 4S5 will solve the prob
lem before the house, that being the
least number that will save every
State. from any loss in the numeri-
cal strength of its delegation at
Washington.

Two Negroes Swing.

Charleston, Dec. 23.-Both pro.
testing their innocence, two negroes,
James Edwards and William Kelley,
were hanged at Monck's Corner, in
Berkeley county, shortly before noon
to-day. Edwards was convicted OF

fenced to hang for the murder of an
other negro.
Edwards, who had three wives,
warned his fellows against women,
saying that they were sure to get a
man in trouble, while Kelley, who
was drunk when he committed the
murder, held liquor responsible for
his plight.
Both men died after hanging for
about Is minutes.
