them. The direction they had taken
was toward the Rincon hills, a wild
country in which it was impossible
to follow a ftrail, and for a time all
trace of them was lost.
For nearly three weeks the efforts
were of no avail. All trace of the rob
bers was lost.
One day during the following Janu
ary a stranger appeared at Fullerton
and began spending money lavishly,
buying realty and other things not so
valuable. His actions caused suspi
cion, and he was traced to San Fran
cisco, where he was captured. He
was sentenced to six years in San
Quentin.
It was a short time after his release
that he committed the train robbery
that resulted in his undoing.
The Chicago mail train on the Illi
nois Central was held up in a 2 most
daring manner. Conductor Kennabraw
was wounded, and a large number of
registered packages were tgken. The
conductor’'s watch was found on
Barnes’ body when the latter was dis
covered by the detectives and, with
the dead man's own watch, was run
ning in perfect time.
It is a matter of relief to southern
California that Barnes has committed
his final deed of violence, has looted
his last train. It was there that he
began his criminal career, a career
that has caused detectives and sheriffs
the country over to regret the day that
so elusive a bandit was born.
A GHASTLY GIFT.
A True Story of a Present Sent to
Cuthbert, and Some Kin
dred Details.
From the Cuthbert Leader.
A rather unique present was that
received the other day by a sick col
ored man of Cuthbert.
The man had consumpiion, and when
the doetor had declared that his death
was only a question of a few days, at
most, a letter was sent a son and a
daughter of the moribund negro who
reside in Atlanta, informing them of
the critical condition of their fathes.
The two held a consultation and decid
ed to manifest a filial devotion by send
ing a present to the sick man. Several
articles were suggested, but finally
only two were considered. These were
a suit of clothes and a coffin. After de
bating coffin versus clothes the de
cision was in favor of the affirmative,
it being unanimously agreed that the
burial casket would be more useful
than the wearing apparel under the
circumstances.
This sensible conclusion having been
reached the coffin was purchased and
shipped by express, reaching Cnthbert
several days before the death of the
man to whom it was sent. |
But this story does not end here,even
at the grave. Thne coflin was sent On
Sunday, and Express Agent Sam Me-
Williams was notified to meet a coffin
at the 3:48 train Sunday afternoon. He
naturally supposed that a corpse Was
coming, and engaged Undertaker Gunn
to assist him in caring for the remains
and hired two or three negroes to sit
up at night with the corpse. Through
a heavy rain the funeral party repair
ed to the depot. The weight of the ex
press package was the first indication
Agent McWilliams had that the coffin
did not contain an occupant, and his
relief at not having tolook after a dead
body was quickly followed by a feeling
of chagrin that he should have made
such a mistake.
Charge of Looting Formally Lodged.
A direct charge of looting has been
lodged with the representatives of the
powers in Pekinagainst Bishop Favier.
who hLas left the country ard is now in
Frapnce. The allegation is that the
bishop looted the hou eof Lu Sen, the
Chinese minister of foreign atfairs,
and carried off valuables to theamount
of $720,000. It is further said that much
of this property is now in possession of
Second Secretary Squires of the Amer
ican legation. There was evidently a
period of good looting following the
siege of Pekin in which many of the
foreigners made the most of their op
portunities..

PERRY DAVIS & SON.
THESE NEGROES SAID NAY.
VANDERBILT WAS NOT RICH ENOUGH
TO HIRE THEM.
Weuld Not Work in the Rain Even for a
Millionaire Who Was in a Hurry to
Give His Friends a Trip.
From the Savaunah News.
All ship owners look alike to negro
wharf Jaborers, and even atVanderbilt
who owns a million dollar yacht can't
get work out of them when the weath
er is bad. Wharf laborers think en
tirely too much of their health and
comfort to coal in the rain, even
though William K. Vanderbilt may be
in a hurry-to sail aboard his magnifi
cent yacht for a cruise onZthe blue
waters of the Mediterranean.
The Valiant still lies at the Seaboard
Air Line wharves on the north side of
the rviver, and she may lie there for
some days longer if the weather does
not ¢lea”. The negroes won't work in
the rain, and that is all there is to it.
An effort was made yesterday to in
duce them to do 80, for it is no small
thing wken a multi-millionaire is in a
hurry and wants to be giving his
friends a trip.
Seven hundred tons of coal are to
put aboard the yacht beforeshe makes
her run across the pond. The fuel
has to be lightered 10 the vessel -and
then put in her bunkers by the hands.
All this involves coal-carrying capaci
ty. Ordinarily the wharf hands do
not mina doing a reasonakle amount of
work, but they absolutely decliae to
take any violent exercise in the rain.
William K’s. name is potent in man}
circles, but it was simply without ef
fect upon the darkies. They declare:
that they did not propose to carry coa
in the rain for any man, whether th«
owrer of a two-by-four river steamer
or the finest yacht afloat.
The commander of the yacht is ip
telegraphic touch with W. K., and the
latter has advised him to be in readi
uz:ss for the appearance of himself and
his party. Just when Mr. Vanderbilt
will arrive is not known. He himself
does not know, but wants things just
rieht when he does arrive. He evi
dently intends going directly to his
yacht, as he has given orders that
would indicate such a purpose.
Lying on the Savannah side of the
river is a tug, ready and waiting for
the arrival of the Vanderbilt party.
The tug has been chartered by Mr.
Vanderbilt, and she is probably cost
ing him about $6O a day. She is no!
working very hard and has nothing o
do but wait for Mr. Vanderbilt. That
gentleman thinks nothing of such a
little thing as $6O a day for an indefi
nite time when the consideration of his
convenience is in the other scale.
The Valiant has smali boats galore,
but Mr. Vanderbilt doesn't want one
of them wet, and a tug is the thing for
him to use in crossing the Savannah
river. Itis6)o feet across from the
tug to his yacht, and he is paying a
swell price for ferriage. It will prob
ably be long before another touches
the record he will leave. Fivecents is
the usual cost to get across, but it is
reported that boatmen are meditating
an advance to Vanderhilt prices.

The debate on the army bill which
has just been passed by congress was
made potable by a statement of Mr.
l MoCiellan of New York comparing the
cost of the soldier in European armies
with the cost in the United States. Ac
cording to his figures, including the
cost of pensions, ete., each United
States soldier involved an expense of
$2.828, while a German soldier costs
$227 and a French soldier $232.

‘A LOVE TALE ALLITERATIVELY TOLD.
Silent serenity sat supreme in the
pretty pink parlor of sweet, snuggling
Sally’s happy Harlem home. The mis
erable moment of midnight made mili- {
tant Mortimer Mountjoy move. ‘
Softly squzezing sweet, snuggling
Sally’s sylph-like sixteen-inch sash he |
dared to do damage to her lovely lips
in the delicious darkness. Luminous
lamps lighted the harmonious hallway,
but blissful blackness blessed the babes
in the pretty pink parlor.
Suddenly stole on this sumptuously
sighing, sibilant scene a sad and sor
rowfu! sound., The dire and dreaded |
voluminous voice of the soft, snug
gling Sally’s paternal parent, cruel
and coarse, was heard in the hallway.
From the top of the tall, steep stair
way he roared rumblingly :
“Tell the time!”’
Sweet, soft, snuggling, snickering
Sally sought sanctuary, sylph-like and
simple. Sighing, she said, glancing
gracefully at the ancient, ancestral,
artistic and amiable anachronism in
the humble, harmonious hallway :
“Please, precious popper, ten ticks
to ten by the timepiece.”
#Sp,”” snapped the sneering and
snarling old cyuic, “when that darna
tion, diddering dude departs start the
clock.”
This was the terrible time of 12: 32.
The ancient, ancestral anachronism
was again allowed toaccelerate the ap
proximation of its hands in the humble
harmonious hallway to the zanystic ze
nith at 12: 33. Meanwhile mournful,
militant Mortimer made movements,
meandering meekly to mother in tbel
mild mid-winter morning. ~New York
