1o.YEAR-oLD STE LIS TRAIN.
Youthful Negro Stole q Locomotive
and Tricycle..

Columbia, May 90. - Edward
Stallings, the 10-year-old colored
boy who borrowed" a Southern To-
comotive and seven cars at Hardee-
vile, and who was too young to pun
ish for malicious mischief, Is to be
given another change, after his theft
of tricycle., following his escape
from the train escapade. Rev. Rich
ard Carroll has taken him into the
Industrial home for second time,
with the hope OF making Stallings a
worthy colored citizen. The little
darkey has been sadly neglected,
having been without home for a
long time.
Stallings lived at Hardceville, a
small station on the Southern rail-
way, near Savannah. One day not
very long ago locomotive and
seven cars stood on a siding there.
Stallings mounted to the cabin"
but without "orders in his hand"
pulled the throttle and ran the train
several miles. Thee affair was in
vestigated by detectives, who refus-
ed to believe that the little negro
ran the train, despite his confession.
lie was brought to Columbia and
given a chance to show his abilities
as an engineer. Much to the aston
tshment Of the train men, he ran an
engine forward and backward and
performed several stunts" for the
entertainment Of the detectives. He
was brought before Magistrate Jas.
Fl. Fowles, who investigated the
charges, but found that the boy was
too young to be sent to the chain
gang, and being resident Of ano-
ther county could not be sent to the
reformatory from Richland county
There was question as to disposing
Of the case until Constable Duna-
way offered to take charge Of Stall
ings. He kept him under watch,
making him perform services about
the home until Rev. Richard Car
roll agreed to take the boy into the
industrial school. Last week Rev.
Carroll and his protege went to Dar-
lington, where the little negro ran
away, coming back to Columbia. He
had been here only for a few hours
when he fell into trouble for the sec
ond time by making away with
tricycle. from a residence on Laurel
street. He took the machine to New
Brookland and was enjoying himself
unt'l Detective Richardson, Of the
local police department, caught him
on charge Of larceny Of tricycle..

ter Morse's sentence in the Atlanta
Federal prison was committed by

They were on the passenger list as

AS to whether he intended to return

would depend on how his health
keeps up.
The former banker declared he
had gained a great deal by his rest
In Europe, and his looks confirmed
his statement. After touring Italy
and Germany he spent tho latter
four weeks of his trip at Wiesbadcn
taking the baths. A physician there
told him that with careful attention
to his diet he would live quite a
while"
"He did not say, what quite a
while meant" said Morse. ut

rrMsiERMAN UNDER $500 BOND.
solicitor Charged With Assault and
Battery With Intent to XIII.

Columbia, May 23.-Charged in
the warrant with assault and battery
With intent to kill, Solicitor George
Bell Zimmerman, Of Lexington, will
probably have to answer to the
charge against him in the Richland
county Court Of General Sessions.
The warrant was sworn out before
Magistrate Fowles by p. A. Murphy,
and Solicitor Zimmerman has given
bond in the sum of 5000, John Earle
having signed the bond. The pa.
pers were turned over to Solicitor
w. II. COBB this afternoon by Magis-
trate Fowles. The warrant alleges
that Solicitor Zimmerman assaulted
P A. Murphy, a Columbia police
man, with knife, cutting his throat.
Witnesses named in the warrant are
J. G. Taylor, F. L. Fleming, F. l..
Etheridge and two others:
The charge grows out of case in
the police court here some days ago,
in which Solicitor Zimmerman fig
ured as one Of the principals and
was fined $55. The police say that
Mr.. Zimmerman was riding about
town in an automobile without
lights; they allege that one Of their
number saw the automobile running
without lights, which is against a
city ordinance, and the police fol-
lowed Mr.. Zimmerman and attempt
ed to arrest him, and that he as
saulted Policeman Murphy with a
knife, cutting his coat in two places,
but fortunately not reaching the
skin; that others coming to the as
sistance Of Officer Murphy wrenched
the knife from Mr. Zimmerman
hand and placed him under arrest.
Subsequently the police court here
received a fine OF $55 for violation
OF the city ordinances.
George Bell Zimmerman Is res
ident Of Lexington, and Solicitor of
the circuit Of which that county is a
part.

to Cuba is the result Of reports re-

threatened danger to American lives
and property as an outgrowth of the
uprising in that country. The Prai-
rie will proceed to the United States
naval station at Guantanamo to join
the gunboats Paducah and Nashville.
State Department advices to-day
regarding Cuba are very pessimis-
tic. Apparently the government has
been unable to estimate the strength
or the purpose Of the present revo-
lutionary movement. The Cuban
military authorities admit that the
situation is serious. but they think
they can control it. 1t Is reliably
reported to the State Department
that many people consider the move
ment designed to provoke interven-
ton.

1t was carefully explained at the
State Department that this IS not to
be considered an intervention move
ment on the part Of the United

to the Americans on the island.

In cells by hends designed;

And almost underneath my feet

The old hulk reeked of ancient

Of brutal deeds and black,
OF cruel men who laid the lash
Across their brothers. back,
OF horror piled on horrors head,
Of tortures like the rack.
And this was how the good old

To fill their very souls with hate
