A BOLD HIGHWAY UODIIKKY.
Two Negro Hoys Snatch a Lady’s Purse and Get
Away With It.
A bold and daring highway robbery was com*
mitted in this city last evening. Mrs. Will Har-
riaon and her mother, Mra. Jackson, had been
out shopping and were returning home about
dark. When near the residence of Mr. George
Bradford on Third avenue, two;negro boys rati
up to them and suddenly snatched Mrs. Har
rison’s purse and a bundle from her hands. The
ladiee screamed and the boys ran
away as rapidly as their foet would
take them and succeeded in escaping before
assistance could arrive. The purse oontalned a
ten dollar bill and some small change. The
ladles had noticed the negro boys following
them, but were not dreaming of such an attack.
The boys appeared to be about twelve years of
age.
As soon as Chief Palmer heard of the robbery
he put Policotnen McMichael and Adams at work
on the case. Last uight about 10 o’clock they
arrested Richard Norman, who they believe
is the principal. He was taken
before the ladies, and they expressed the opinion
that he was one of the boys. They also said that
the other boy was a little smaller. A negro
woman says that she saw Richard running down
p. m. every day except Sunday. The Sunday
train will leave here at 7:22 a. m , and the daily
freight and accommodation train will leave at 6
a. m. and return at 2:11 p. m. The Sunday pas
senger will return at 5:57 p. m.
The Knights of Lubor festival.
The attendance at the Knights of Labor festi
val last night was immense. Temperance hall
was literally packed, and some estimate that
nearly two thousand people were preseul.
Everything moved along as pleasantly as pos
sible, and everybody lind a good time. The fes
tival is proving a grand success financially and
mitted. He denies his guilt, but the officers are
confident they have the right man. Norman is I
about fourteen years old, and has been in the ,
hands of the police before. He is liable to get a 1
few years in the penitentiary.
‘•My Aiint Bridget.**
The theatrical season will open at Springer i
opera house next Thursday night, when “My ,
Aunt Bridget” will be given. The Wilmington |
News has the following to say of the play :
“ ‘ My Aunt Bridget,’ presented at tlie academy
of music last evening, is certainly one of the fun-
raedal, now held by the Tallahassee Gun Club,
will be contended for. Clubs from Columbus,
Augusta, Macon, liar lefeville, Tallahasece, Milieu
and several other points, beside the two Savan
nah clubs, will participate. Reduced rates will
be given by the different railroads.”
HAPPENINGS AT HAMILTON.
A Hig Demand for Houses—A Quiet mid Pleasnnt
Town—Personal and General Mention.
Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Hamilton, Ga., Sept 10.—Not a single incident
occurred hero yesterday nor to-day to enliven the
painful quietude of our little city. The dogs and
cats frequented their haunts in a noiseless man
ner, and even the gentle vespers floated by in
such gentle undulations as leave even the aspens
unshaken.
Miss Lula Mobley returned Wednesday even
ing, after a pleasant visit to Greenville, Hogans-
ville and Grantville. Miss Lula is universally
popular and forms a host of friends wherever
she goes. We are glad to welcome her home.
Misses Mamie and Annie Griggs, of Bealhvood
are visiting relatives and friends in Hamilton.
Mrs. S. J. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Dunlap and
Misses Schley leave Hamilton to-day for Atlanta,
where they intend making their home. The loss
of one place is the gain of another, and while we
regret to lose any portion of our population, we
commend these people to Atlanta, and trust that
their stay there may be more pleasant than their
residence here.
We were glad to see Dr. Franklin Barnes on
our streets yesterday. The doctor has been nros-
trated for some time with sickness. He is feeble
yet, but in a fair way to regain his health.
The kite fever has taken our town. The tele
graph wires and the dead limbs of our trees are
nil festooned by some portion of the kite. A few
nights ago some of our people were made quite
nervous by seeing a very red star, seemingly of
the first magnitude, moving across the heavens.
What does this mean? Earthquakes, stars
moving! What next? It turned out to be a little
harmless kite with a lantern attached.
There seems to be a great demand in Hamilton
for houses. If some capitalist would come this
way we think he could invest a few thousand
greatly to the benefit, of Hamilton and from |
which he could realize a handsome profit. What |
we need is a good, commodious and convenient
hotel, n great many more houses and a thousand
new families moved in. ’Hie next set of northern
tourtatsfeoming south for investment could not do
better than to come here. We have all the ele
ments for a large, flourishing town, pure air,
good water, healthy site and a good country to
back it.
A short while ago we had a marriage here in
high life among our colored people. The sister,
disliking the prospective groom, telegraphed her
mother to come at once and put a stop to the
proceedings. The only reply came was, tell the
fellow he is a grand rascal. That ought to have
downed him, but it did not.
SALAD FROM SEALE.
The Chancery Court in Session—The Meeting at
Vlllula—Personal Mention, Etc.
Special Correspondence Enquirer-Sun.
Seale, September 10.—Chancery court is in
session here, his honor, Chancellor Foster, pre
siding. A number of important cases are dock
eted for trial. Gen. Geo. P. Harrison, of Opelika,
Hon. Jas. T. Norman, of Union Springs, Captain
Henry D. Clayton, of Clayton, Col. J. T. Blount,
of Atlanta, A. A. Dozier, esq., of Columbus, and
Captain Alex. Harris, of Girard, are among the
visiting attorneys here.
Miss Bettie Martin, of Girard, is visiting here.
The meeting at Villula is still in progress. Our
livery stable men, Messrs. Bellamy & Dudley, are
hiring out their teams for half price to those who
desire to attend the meeting.
Miss Carrie B. Jennings has returned from
Montezuma accompanied by her aunt, Mrs. A.
C. Felton, who will spend some time with rela
tives here.
A Father’s Secret Discovered.
A gentleman in thiscity received the following,
which explains itself:
Dear Brother: After a long and continuous
effort I have discovered at last our father’s secret,
and I hasten to inform you of the fact. You
know how he used to tell us, ‘‘Don’tbite off more
than you can chew.” Well, I have figured it out,
anti thus it is—we take too large a piec e. It is
not that we chew continuously that hurts us; it
is uot that we drink too often that hurts us; it is
not that we eat too frequently that hurts us,
hut that our chews are too large; our
glasses are too foil; our plates
j are piled up too much. Now let us reason awhile.
.Say we take one-half as much tobacco at one
i time. Result—half the expense, half the effect,
; half the spitting, and by philosophical reason
ing, a penny saved two pence made. Can't you
! see? I know you can.
I Well,as to drinking,make the same calculation.
Don’t you see? I know you do. Now, as to eat-
| ing, just think of it. How plain it all seems.
| Why did we not think of it sooner. Truly, as
Puck says: “What fools we mortals be.” Well,

Nome More Mutual Life Policies.
The late Silas D. Montgomery, of South Shafts-
bury, Vt., took out policy No. 107,145 in the Mutu
al Life in 1870. The policy became a claim last
spring and appears in the list of June 18. The
face of the policy was for $1000, and the additions
amounted to $407, or .only $35.20 less than the
total amount of premiums which had been paid
on the policy. Insurance.for sixteen years, and
$1000 to the estate of the insured, cost therefore
$2.20 per year.
In January, 1885, Dr. George W. Blake, of lowez
Salem, Washington county, O., took out policy
No. 259,230 in this company for $1000, paying one
animal premium of $31.80. On June 10, 1885, he
died. In August the company paid his wife
$1002. Within eight months from the time the
policy was issued, Mrs. Blake had received from
the company $1002, which had cost her husband
$31.80.
Joseph B. Barnes, a former of Northampton
county, N. C., had paid but one premium of $57.99
on his policy of $1500. At the time of his death
last week, his heirs received $1508, m the fruits of
this small investment.
In 1861, John H. Young, of Beverly, Massachu
setts, insured his life in this company for $2000.
He allowed his dividends to accumulate, and last
week his widow received $3558 as the result of his
loving foresight.
Dr. George P. Bamqf, of Bristol, R. I., secured
a policy in this company for $3000, on the five-
year distribution plan, July 1, 1885. On the third
day’of last October he was stricken by heart dis
ease, and died as though he had been shot.
This happened in Dresden, Germany, while he
was on his wedding trip; and last week the frill
amount of the claim, on which but one premium
had been paid, was handed to the young wife
and widow.
In this week’s list of paid claims appears the
name of George N. Walker, a prominent citizen
of Peoria, 111. In 1848 Mr. Walker took a $3000
ordinary life policy in this>Company. It cost
him $75 a year, and he kept it' paid up until the
day of his death. Tho accumulated^dividends
nearly equal the face value of the policy and the
total claim paid to Mrs. Walker is $5727.

thk MOBILE AND GIRARD.
Tho Lease to the Central Railroad and Hanking
Company Formally Executed.
The lease of the Mobile and Girard railroad to
the Central Railroad and Banking Company was
formally executed yesterday. President Raoul,
of the Ceutral, reached this city in his special car
on the 2:25 p. m. train. He met the directors of*
the Mobile and Girard at once and the necessary
documents were «igned up on this side. They
then repaired to Girard and complied with the
forms of the Alabama law, and the work was
completed.
The lease is for ninety-nine years, ami dates
from June 1, 1886, from which time the stock
holders will begin to draw their dividend of l'j
per cent, guaranteed by the Central. The Cen
tral holds certain stock in trust, which will be
transferred to the proper parties, and all those
holding preferred stock will receive two shares
for one in common stock.
The lease of the Mobile and Girard to the Cen
tral is not only a big thing for the stock
holders, but it may prove of
vast benefit to Columbus. A clause
of the lease permits the Central to extend the
road if it sees fit, and to increase its bonded in- i
debtedness to amount equal per mile for the ex- i
tension as is no v carried by the road in opera- I
lion. There is no question that the extension of 1
the road to Elba is more of a probability now |
than ever before. Such an extension wornd j
largely benefit Columbus, as it would bring many
thousand bales of x>tton and much trade to this |
city that now goes elsewhere. j
and more, too. George W. Monroe, as My Aunt
Bridget, maintained his previous reputation
made in ‘Over the Garden Wall,’
‘Muldoon’s Picnic,’ etc. John C. Rice
as P. Alton McVeigh, the ‘young man de
pending on his aunt,’ is very amusing in
his agony over hiR futile attempts to obtain
more than eight dollars from the old lady. The
make-up of W. H. Leary as Joe Nervy is ludicrous
in itself, and he keeps the audience in a contin
ual roar by his gag of ‘well, say!’ Miss Katie
Hart played the part of Polly Glider with a dash
and strength rarely seen in one of her age. Tlui,
other characters are: Jack Treyser, by Harry
Fielding; Tompkins Blazor, by F. W. Holland;
Dora Blazor, by Miss Marion Chester; Abbey
Shrinker, in search of $3, by Miss Gussie Hart,
and Nellie Pyder, by Miss Pplly Carey. They all
did excellent work. The audience were con
vulsed with laughter during the entire perform
ance, and a much larger one should be in attend
ance this eveuing to witness this funniest of
Scott Marble’s plays.”

LK1I0>' ELIXIR.
From the Land of Lemons.
An old citizen of my town and an old
druggist said to me to-day that he had long
been looking for a liver medicine that
would take the place of calomel.producing
all its good effects and none of its bad, in
jurious constitutional effects. After a
thorough trial he had found it in Dr. Moz-
ley’s Lemon Elixir. I have sold, as you
know, large lots of the Elixir since last
spring, and never solid a liver medicine for
biliousness, constipation and diseases re
sulting from these causes that pleased the
people as much as Lemon Elixir. Send me
nine dozen at once.
