It is seldom that a highway robbery occurs in Columbus, but if the story told by Eugene Stone last night is correct, there has been a bold one, and almost under the shadow of the genera] passenger depot. About S o’clock a white man appeared at the depot, his head all covered with blocd. He gave his name to the policeman on auty as Eugene Stone, and said that he had just been knocked down and robbed by a negro. The officer at once took him to the office of Dr. C. L. Williams, city physicitfc, where his wounds were dressed. He had a cut about two or three inches long just behind the left ear, and another about two inches long on the right side of the head. These cuts had the appearance of having been inflicted with a knife. Be sides, he had a large knot over the left eye, as if he had been struck with a blunt in strument, His right hand also had the skin torn; from the back of it in several p aces. Stone says his home is in Mississippi, but that he has been employed on the Buena Vista extension, the Georgia Midland and the Columbus Southern rail roads. He came in on the Geor gia Midland, he says, from Wood tury last night. When he reached the depot at this city he asked a heavy set negro with a large mustache to direct him to the business part of town. The negro led him down the railroad track to Eleventh street and told him how he could reach Broad street. As soon as he turned to leave, he says, the brute 3truck him a terrible blow back of the head with a piece of iron and knocked him down. The first blow was followed by two ushers. He claims that the negro then stole nis watch, his vaiise, and between ^20 and ?30 in money, btoce was conscious all the time, and as soon as the negro left him he returned to the depot and asked for assist ance. These who saw the wound on the back of Stone's bead are not much inclined to believe that they were inflicted by a piece of iron. After he had been attended by Dr. Williams he was taken to the city hospital. To Be Extended. The building occupied by J. Kyle & Co. will be extended back 45 feet by 65 feet, two stories high. Contractor Wickham will begin work on the building Monday morning. The improvements on the building will cost about £4000. The County Commissioners.

A BUSINESS 91 AN’S PRAYER.

Johns the best paint makes, You’l find it at Gruzard’s; It lasts for years, aDd never flakes, A gallon covers thirty yards. And then my locks and hinges too, My picture mold and centers; My sash and blinds, I need a few, To fix my house for renters; These questions all, he asked and then, At vacancy gazed hard; The answer came as from a pen, Go down and see Gruzird. My framing lumber good I want, No sap or light wood fat; I’vo tried to find it, but I can’c, What shiil 1 1 do for I hat ?
