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.

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.

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. D. F.

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.” RIVER NEWS.

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. T. Albert Jennings. Druggist, Jasper, Fla. To Dr. H. Mozley, Atlanta, Ga. Sold by druggists. 50c and $1 per bottle. Prepared by Ht. Mozley, M. D., Atlanta, Ga. sep5 selm
