Out of Place.

He was very shy young man. For

"Florence, would you-might L

Florence thought he wanted speed.

Roped and Tied.

The men engaged in cutting off the
ends of protruding ties on the elevat-
ed railway were explicitly instructed,
for the sake of innocent passersby
on the street below, never to allow a
piece of tie to fall to the street with
out a rope attached to it, says the
New York Evening Post.
One day as the end of a tie was
sawed off, the man on the job threw
the rope, tie and all into the street.
''Hy,, there, what er' you doinn"
yelled an indignant foreman.
'*Ye told me not to let anything
drop to the street without rope at
tached," rejeined the man in a surly
tone. "Well, amt obeyin' orders?"

BLOWS MAY PROVE FATAL.
Night Operator at Orangeburg Has
Skull Fractured by Burglar.

Orangeburg, Jan. IA bold rob-
berry, and probably murder, was COM
mitted here this morning about 3
o'clock at the Atlantic Coast Line
passenger station. At this hour,
when the night operator, A. T. Car
ter, was on duty, a negro came into
the office and informed him that the
door to merchandise car standing
on a side track some distance from
the station was open, and the oper-
ator in few minutes went out to
investigate the matter and closed the
door. While returning an alarm of
fire was rung in and Mr.. Carter went
to the front of the building, where
the colored waiting room is situated,
and was standing a few feet there
from, watching the glare of the fire.
He heard someone coming toward
him from behind, when he turned
his head was in this instant fell
ed by two powerful blows on the
forehead with stick.
Phones for Police.
The assailant then entered the sta
tion and secured the cash drawer
containing $14, bringing it out with
him, and after securing the money
left the drawer on the platform just
to the rear of the station, where it
was later found. Half dazed, and
bleeding severely, the wounded man
managed to drag himself back into
the station, where he telephoned Po-
liceman Lewis, who resides near the
station. The officer soon arrived and
secured medical aid in a few min
utes. Bloodhouds were Immediate
ly wired for from Columbia, and ar
rived on the scene about 8 o'clock.
: The trail was started from where
the cash drawer was left on the plat
form and the dogs carried it several
hundred yards up the track, east to
the crossing of the Southern and A.
c. L. roads, where they stopped and
would go no further.
Three Under Arrest.
George Williams, negro, and two
white men were arrested in Sumter
and brought back to the city at noon
on a local freight, and are now in
jail here as suspects. They were
found beating" their way on
freight train: which came through the
city shortly after the robbery. The
negro states that he had been in the
employ of the Dupont Powder Mills,
at Hopewell, Va, and was making
his way back, and that he had walk
ed from Bamberg yesterday to the
A. c., l.. coal chute just across the
Edisto river, where he stayed last
night until the freight came along
this morning, when he boarded it.
The white men claimed they had rid
den from. Augusta, Ca, until arrested
in Sumter. Upon searching the sus-
poets nothing was found on the white
men, and on the negro was found
only a few cents and a watch fob
with his picture and his work num-
Der of the pwoder mills on it..
Mr.. Carter was later removed to
his home on Glover street, where his
condition is considered very serious,
suffering from a fractured skull and
ruptured blood vessel at the base
of. his brain.

The German government is repre-

tacks a ship such as the Silius without
warning It would be violating his In
structions.
The sinking Of the sfiius has caused
much concern because Consul Os-s
borne at Hnrve reported that the ship
was torpedoed without warning. His
report was based on statements OF
American survivors.
Officials are inclined to entertain the
possibility that the ship might have
been struck by mine.
Today the state department received
