FACES BURGLARY CHARGE.
Negro Arrested at Charleston Had
Stolen jewellery from Aiken.

Stolen Jewellery from Aiken.
Aiken, June 2S.-Edward Harris,
who was arrested Sunday in Charles
ton, is wanted on a serious offense in
Aiken. He is now in the Aiken Jail,
and is charged with grand larceny.
Sunday morning Harris was seen
by Officer Patterson at the passenger
depot with heavy grip. He sus-
pected the negro of selling liquor and
kept a surveillance on him but
could find noChing in his subsequent
actions to justify him in making an
arrest. When the morning train
left for Charleston the negro got on
it and carried with him Willie Oil
phant. A few minutes after the train
left the officers received word that a
store had been robbed and Mr.. Pat
terson at once suspected Harris of
the robbery and telegraphed to Char
lesion for the, arrest of the two ne
groes. On getting off the train they
were arrested and were Brought back
to Aiken by Deputy Sheriff Kennedy.
In Harris possession was found
about $50 worth of jewelry and small
articles, all of which were identified
as being the property of the South
Carolina pawnshop. The officers be-
lieve that Harris. is one of those who
have been making systematic rob-
berry of the Main street stores.

BANDITS MISTAKEN.
Held Up Northbound Train; Opposite
Train Had Coin.

Glendale, Ore, June 29.-Appar.
emily mistaking the first section o1
northbound passenger train No. 1e
on the Southern Pacific railroad fol
a southbound train said to be carry,
ing a shipment of 100000 in gold
dust from Seattle to San Francisco
two robbers held up the northbound
train last night near West Fork, an
isolated station in Cow creek canyon
The robbers rifled the mail car
blowing up the safe, and made away
with the registered mail. They tried
to secure entrance to the express car
but were foiled by Messenger Robb
who refused to open the door despite
threats that they would use dynamite
if he resi2ted. The robbers after
fruitlessly prying with cgowbar al
the side door of the car, finally de-
sisted and decamped with the loot
secured from the mail car.
The amount taken by the robbers
can not be ascertained at this time
This train carries in it's registered
mail the cash from Southern Oregon
postoffices to Eugene, Ore, which is
their depository, and this was proba-
bly, included in the mail stolen.
The robbers boarded the train at
West Fork while the engine was TAX
ing water. Soon after it had got un-
der way they crawled over the tender
into the cab and directed the engineer
to stop the train.
This done, one of the men kept the
engineer and fireman under cover
wifi his revolver while the other one
went back and uncoupled the mail
and baggage cars Then the engineer
was ordered to pull these cars some
distance up the track, where he was
again ordered to stop. The robbers
went back to the mail car and lining
the mail clerks up took the register
ed mail pouches and dynamited the
mail car safe.
The noise of the explosion warned
Messenge Robb of what was taking
place and when the demand came for
him to open his door he made on re-
sponse. y
The conductor. of the train, as soon
as he discovered what had taken
place, went back to West Fork, where
he notified Glendale and surrounding
points. Posses have been organized
to pursue the robbers.
A Southern Pacific train was held
up and robbed two weeks ago not far
from the scene of last nights rob-
berry.

Blanche Douglass is the clever Young

ARCANUM CLUB NIGHT.
Pool Expert Entertained With His
Long List of Fancy and Trick Shots.

Joe Hood, the Napoleon of fancy pool
shots, was the entertainer at the Ar
canum club on Monday evening at
their club night, giving a marvellous
exhibition of trick and fancy shots
with which the members and friends
were highly entertained and pleased.
Their appreciation of Mr.. Hoods dis
play of skill was evident in the hearty
applause that greeted his successful
demonstration of what he can do with
a cue.
Preceding each shot he explained
just what was to be expected, and he
rarely failed to make his shot on the
first trial, although some of the more
difficult ones took several tries before
he accomplished the shot. Some of tile
more spectacular shots included pock-
citing the object ball from inside the
triangle without disturbing the tri-
angle, a fifteen ball combination for
the corner pocket, and circIing a hat
in the middle of the table to hit the
object ball on a second stroke draw
after the cue ball was returning fl ON
the upper bank One marvellous blind
fold shot pocketed six balls which had
been placed in a group at the center of
the table. Some of his prettiest work
was in rapid fire shots, his best one
shooting the whole fifteen balls off
the side bank, leanding them all to-
gether in a semi -circle in front of
corner pocket, after they had taken
three banks.
When the exhibition of trick shots
was over, Mr. Hood played Louis r.
Porteous of the club a so point game,
running out when Porteous had Is to
go. Hoods best frame was clean
up of the table, while Porteous made
his best with a 10 frame.
There was good sized attendance
Cigars we're passed during the evening.

SECOND READING
BY PROF. CROSBY.
n. A. Jones' The Liars Given at Slater
Hail Under Principals Club Aus
pices.

Another delighted audience was
present at Slater hall on Monday
evening to hear the second reading by
Prof Crosby of Brown university given
under the auspices of the Principals
club for the benefit of the Read ding cir
Gle. The drama presented last evening
was Henry Albert Jones' play. The
Liars, a very modern and very well
written comedy in four acts. This
might be classed as a modern edition
of the famous School for Scandal of
the sixteenth century and in it's deli
cate treatment of morals and manners
creates many amusing situations and
phrases. Prof. Crosby enters into the
full humor and spirit of the situation
and his impersonation of the various
characters is given with an insight and
comprehension that is vivid and illu-
ninating. The audience was expecting
much after the reading from the Mer-
chant of Venice last month and they
were not disappointed. The greater
variety and life, possible in this other
play was enjoyed to the utmost. Prof.
Crosby is an artist in his line of work
and has made many friends among his
hearers by the two entertaining and
instructive readings he has given. The
Principals club are also living up to
the traditions of the profession and
giving only the best things to be OBJ
tanned in an educative line and doing
it for most worthy object.
