Interesting Trials in Orangeburg.

Orangeburg, Sept. 6.-Two cases
of especial interest have been tried
this week in the court of general ses-
sions that is now in session in this
county. One was the case of the
State VS.. Ransom Moorer and Barn
we'll Gross, two young boys of prom
inent families of the Holly Hill Sec
ton of Orangeburg county, in which
these youths were indicted upon the
charge of arson. Last December the
fine school building at Holly Hill was
burned and shortly afterwards the
town hall was fired, but the flames
were extinguished The defendants
were suspected. They made a con-
fession, it is alleged. Upon motion of
attorneys representing the defend
ants, the judge ordered verdict of
not guilty upon the ground that the
Youthful defendants were too young
and incapable of making a confes-
sion.
In the case of the State VS.. Arthur
Robinson much interest has been
centered. Robinson, white man OF
the Fork section of this county, was
indicted for the murder of his broth
er. Mike Robinson. The brothers
were returning home in June from
the town of Neeses about midnight.
On their way home both being drunk,
they became incensed at each other
and a cutting scrape followed, it was
charged. Mike Robinson was found
the next morning, lying in a pool OF
blood, his life slowly ebbing away. He
died that morning. Arthur Robinson
stated he knew little of the affair,
as he was so drunk, but that his
brother had him down choking and
cutting him and he cut at his brother
until he was released. The jury
found Arthur Robinson guilty OF
n,anslau ghter. His attorneys have
moved for new trial and the motion
will be heard at the close of the
cOurt

His Lamb Was There.

Last month a Cleveland travelling
man was married and was given a
months vacation. He and his bride
have been spending their honeymoon
in a quiet summer resort.
The other evening as they entered
the dining room and sat down, as usu-
al. in a secluded corner, the young
husband noticed a very good custom
er at the table nearby.
"Say, dearest" he whispered
there's Mr.. Jones over there. You
won't mind if I go over and dine
with him, will you? Think how fine
it will be if 1 get back from my we'd
ding trip with smashing big order -
The little bride agreed, rather rue
fully. Her travelling man hurried
over to Jones and shook hands with
him, and ordered his dinner, which
included roast lamb. Then he be-
gan to talk business.
He was so earnest about it that he
didn't notice when the waiter re-
moved his meat dishes and placed a
dessert before him. Then suddenly
he looked down at his plate and ex-
claimed:
"Why, where's my lamb?'
A little voice in the corner plped
out Here l am, dear!"-Buhalo

BANDIT PROBABLY DOPE FIEND.
Edwards Charged with Mail Robbery.
Condition Still Critical.

New Orleans, Sept 6.-HoWard d.
Edwards, who held up the New York
express of the Louisville and Nash
vile Wednesday night, was charged
to-day before United States Commis-
sioner Browne with robbery OF the
mail.
Whether Edwards will live to face
the charge or not, is doubtful. He
still lies in critical condition in a
local hospital, suffering from the
fracture of the skull that Engineer
Baer inflicted when he captured him.
The belief Of the police that Edwards
is a dope f1end is considered to have
been substantiated to-day when an
analysis of the contents of capsules
found on him showed the presence Of
opium.
The police are still searching for
the bandits suspected pals, but In
spector Reynolds admitted tonight
that he may have been in the robbery
alone. No positive proof has been
furnished that any one was with him,
either in the hold-up Wednesday
night or in the hold-up by mistake
of freight train Tuesday night.
A "hero' fund for Engineer Baer,
the modest captor of Edwards, who
has Stunned publicity in the case,
was started to-day by Mayor Martin
Behrman.

New Orleans, Sept. 5.-The lone
bandit who last night held up and
robbed the New York limited train
on the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road near Mecheaud, II miles east OF
New Orleans and was later felled by
a blow over the head by Engineer
Baer, was brought to New Orleans
on a SPECIAL train from Bay st.
Louis, Miss, this morning and placed
in a charity hospital.
The man gave his name as Howard
E. Edwards and said his family llV-
ed at Jupiter, Fla. He gave the
police information which is expected
to lead to the early capture of three
other members of gang which IS
believed to have been responsible
for a series of sensational robDerles
in this section.
Edwards is in a precarious con-
dition and attendants at the hospital
this morning stated it was doubtful
if he would recover from the injuries
inflicted by the engineer.
Daring Piece of Work.
Following so close on the attempt
ed robbery of the Cincinnati South
ern-bound passenger train on the
same road at almost the same spot
the night previous, when a freight
train was held up by mistake, the
work of Edwards is considered most
daring.
Edwards crawled aboard the en-
CINE and covered Engineer Baer and
the firemen with two revolvers. He
carried a small valise containing
dynamite and nitro-glycerine. Ihe
train was stopped and with the en-
gineer and fireman preceding him.
Edwards riled the mail car OF reg
istered mail and then relieved the
male passengers in five Pullmans
and a club car of their cash. he
declined to take jewelry and did not
offer to molest women. He tnen
marched the engineer and fireman
hack to the engine and ordered them
to proceed.
Felled by Engineer.
After riding on the engine Tor
about 25 miles, Engineer Baer
caught Edwards off his guard ana
struck him a terrific blow on the
head with a brass torch, fracturlnS
the base of the skull. Edwards hreo
one shot as he fell, which went Wild.
Engineer Baer proceeded to rain
blows with the torch until ne hao
the bandit unconscious.
When the train reached Bay st.
Louis the robber was taken OF and
placed in the charge of the railroad
surgeon until police officers and de-
tectives from New Orleans arrived
there in a special. Although Ed
wards was unconscious at intervals
throughout the night he gave the po-
lice valuable information concerning
his pals and Inspector Reynolds
of the New Orleans force, to-day SAID
he hoped to make some arrests snort
ly.
Edwards stated that he had a
brother in Oklahoma City and anoth-
er brother in Meridian, MISS
Edwards is a small man, only hVe
feet, six inches in height and weighs
100 pounds. He appears to be about
80 years of age.
Superintendent Marshall, OF the
New Orleans division of the Louis
Vile and Nashville, who was pass
enger aboard the train, stated tnat
but one man on the train had a re-
volver, but could not use it because
the robber kept the trainmen IN front
of him when he passed through.
