While the greatest actual gain in num-
Der of owners was made by the Union
Pacific as shown above, the largest gain
relatively was that by Chesapeake and

situation which resulted in the reduction
of its dividend last spring and the pos
sibility of further reduction.
The drop of nearly 500 shareholders for

THE LEONARD ORDER.

The order given by Chief of Police James Leonard to the police depart ment to clamp the gambling lid tight and see that it was kept clamped tight, is treated as joke in many quarters .
 Chief of Police Leonard is very sincere man. That he did not intend the order to be treated as a joke is fact that will be admitted even by the most credhlous.
 That the order has not been taken seriously. is also fact that will be freely admitted.
 The why and wherefore is not to be considered here. Probably. the chief of police isn't taken seriously enough by the element against whom his orders were issued. Chief Leon ard may have to apply some heroic methods to convince the privileged public that their privileges are at an end.
 The situation is too interesting to arouse laughter or anger. Complac entity it is being watched. Some in teresting notes are being margined on the pages that will later relate his tory.
 There was no distinction in the chiefs orders as to whom to aid and whom to raid. elt was q general or der. The order will be repeated Then again 1t will be given. Aud again that one will be repeated. And all the while the situation is furnish ing an interesting panorama for the observant citizenship.

MAI. !. H. ALLEN
DIES IN ANN|ST0N

Admission, July Especial Mai ].
H. Allen, for over 80 years a resi-
dent of this city and probably the only
survivor of "The Alabama" the vessel
that wrought such destruction to the
commerce of the United States during
the civil war under Admiral Raphael
Semmes, died at his home on Tyler
Hill, this city. Tuesday morning. He
has been i'll for some time. death being
attributed to the nfirmities of old age.
Major Allen came to Admission when
it was a mere woodland settlement
around the Woodstock Iron works, the
pioneer Admission furnace, and for
large number of years he was engaged
as a jeweler. He was II years of age
and is survived by Robert Allen, son,
and one daughter. Miss Minnie Allen,
besides several grandchildren.
For many years Major Allen has been
a conspicuous figure in reunions of
veterans, besides having been highly
connected with the Masons, knights of
Pythias and odd Fellows. lie was a
member of the Presbyterian church and
his funeral will be held from there

MISS KIRKPATRICK
NOT SERIOUSLY HURT
Telephone Operator at Pied
mont Recovering After
Being Roughly Handled

Admission, July 1.--(Special)-A re-
port was received in this city Tues
day to the effect that Jim Durgin, the
negro who was accused of robbing
operator at Piedmont Monday after
noon, has been captured by one of the
several posses in his pursuit and
lynched This report was denied, how
ever, by Sheriff Brooke, who stated
that he had been informed that the
negro had been located near Rome, Ca,
said to be his home.
II. p. Watson, district manager for
the company. returned to Admission
Monday night. He stated Tuesday that
the negro struck Miss kirkpatrick as
she came out into the hall on her way
to the bank to deposit the money she
had taken in, first catching her around
the waist and then placing his hand
over her mouth, after which he placed
the gag and tied 1t in with a towel
tieing the knot with one hand and his
teeth.
While the young woman was badly
shocked, her injuries, Mr.. Watson says
are not serious. but the people of Pied
mont are greatly incensed over the af-
fair, which became public soon after a
pedestrian heard her means and went
upstairs to find her lying unconscious
on the floor.
The negro got away with about $s5,
something over 81 having been lost in
the scuffle that attended the attack

to a friend, because his name can't be
nicknamed anything worse than Dam
my or "Cussy" as if anything could be
worse than that.
The fond mother has planned in her
mind that this her first born shall be
missionary, and as she watches him grow
up she notices anything developing but
that of a self sacrificing missionary; she
watches him pull the pigtails of his in
offensive sister; she hears that he has
stolen the fruit from a neighboring orch
teacher sits-why she becomes some-
what wary of his name.
At 19, though he has improved, and the
sacred career which has been set apart
for him is somewhat more fiattering, but
when at 81 he suddenly decided to be a
''bookmaker" she pulls the bed clothes up
over her face and expires from sheer dis
appointment.
As for Damascus himself, he's raging.
tearing furiously mad.
On the race track Damascus" is a dis
tinct Disadvantage
In the wilds of darkest Africa it might
have been different.
There are people who are foolish enough
to ask whether boys are named "Damas-
cus' because they are going to be mis-
sionaries or whether they become mission
aries because they are named 'Damas-
Gus"
The answer Is that neither is the case,
but having been called by this fearful APP
pellation by doting mother. they are
driven by their emotions to some profess
sion as far removed from converting the
heather as their fancy can suggest.
Imagine the family conference that en-
sues when the brand new baby is to be
named.
The unfortunate infant who hasn't a
ghost of voice in the matter is stared
! out of countenance because his mother
declares that she will name him what she
pleases.
