nails manicured. Nothing could have
been further from his thoughts than
that he was about to fall in love. He
took his seat scarcely noticing the at
tractive young woman across the table,
who soon was absorbed in her work Of
polishing his nails.
After a time their eyes met across
the table. Apparently it was mutual
admiration for other chances followed
and soon the two were engaged in con-
versation. Before the work on the
nails had been completed, Mr.. Caroth-
ers had invited Miss Thompson to 60
t. dinner with him when he should re-
turn to Macon. She accepted.
Late Saturday afternoon he returned
in Macon and Saturday night he ac-
companied Miss Thompson to the
Oinkler Hotel cafe for dinner. There
he proposed to her and before the meal
was finished Miss Thompson and he
were engaged.

A FEW TRAINS ARE
STARTED OUT TO-DAY

The following statement has been
issued by Supt. Mccullough of the
Pennsylvania road:
To the Travelling Public: !
The train service today on all of the
divisions into and out of Richmond
will lie practically the same as men,
toned in the bulletin issued March
26th, with the exception that COM
mencing today we are running trains
between Richmond and Camden.
Trains No. "a and 50 will not be run
between Richmond and Camden until
further notice.
No. 46 is due out of Richmond at
GAS a. IN.
No. AZ is due out of Richmond at
4:1O p. m.
The situation at indianapolis is un-
changed and no service is promised
out of there for another day or two as
all roads from Indianapolis are closed
except the Pennsylvania lines between
Richmond and Indianapolis. The Van
dalia line is in good condition from a
point two miles west of Indianapolis
to ST Louis but there are two bridges
and some track washed out, which
will take at least two days to repair.
The water is so high and as all city
bridges are out it is Impossible, so We
are advised, to transfer passengers
around the trouble.
We are unable to gave any en-
couraging news as to when the line
will be open east of Richmond either
via Piqua or Dayton as the telegraph
and telephone wires are still in trouble
but from what meager information we
have the line is very badly damaged
and therefore can give no definite in
formation.

AMUSING FEATURES
IN TRAGIC SCENES
Absurd Demands Made on
Railroad Officials-Drum-
mers Make Best of 1t.

Officials at the Pennsylvania rail-
road station are being driven nearly
insane by stranded travellers begging,
praying and demanding transportation
to their homes in the various sections
of the flood zone.
A New York travelling man informed
railroad official that unless he could
be told accurately when he could leave
the city and if his kilograms were not
sent he would sue the company for
$4,000 damages
He was informed by a veteran
knight of the grip hailing from Chica,
90, who has learned to take all stu
atoms in a philosophical manner, that
if he didn't spend so much time in New
York and would get out in the world
more he would have more sense and
be less provincial.
A happy group of travelling men at
local hotel today, in the absence of
real railroad trains bought toy train
and amused themselves operating it
about the floor OF the office. 1t final
ly went wrong like all other trains
are doing right now and dashed into
the bar room, where the travellers joy
ously pursued it.
