Two Little Boys Apprehended and Carried Away—The Distress of the Parents—The Result of a Search. J Waycuoss, Ga. Aug. I.—[Special. ] —Reports from Millwood show that excitement is rife there over the kid • napping of Charlie and Robert Fields, sons of A. P. Fields, and age] twelve • and ten years respectively. About two miles from Millwood lives Mrs. Fields’ brother, Mr. Agnew, llardlv a day passes that members of the families are not intervisiting. Last Monday after noon Charlie and Robert left Mill wood to spend two days with the family of their uncle. Thursday morning they started back to town. Yesterday at noon when the little fellows did not return r home, Mrs. Fields suggested to [ ° . her husband the idea, of going for ■ them. Acting on his wife’s sugges . tion Mr. Fields drove out to his brother-in-law’s house and inquired for the boys. Mrs. Agnew informed j him that they left for Millwood im mediately after breakfast. To this Mr. Fields laughingly replied: “Ob you must not keep the boys ‘ all the time, we want them at home.” Seeing that this last was said in • 1 all earnestness, a strange suspicion lof evil dawned upon Mis. Agnew. It I was not long before Mr. Fiel.l%also i was sorely perplexed as to the where abouts of his little boys. It occurred, I however, that they might have! 2 stopped to play with Mr. Johnson’s! children on the outskirts of the i town. Hurriedly turning his horse, he drove back at a rapid i*te and soon . alighted at Mr. Johnson,s gate. Here he was told that ll<> boys had not been seen, and Lis mind became • I filled with the most horrible suspi l cions. He had one hope, however. Thei’ might have ’ taken a round abcut course and have arrived at home bv t his time. Without further delay be drove ( I back to his residence only to have ; his suspicions further aroused. lie I! then proceeded to relate to Lis wife the fa is in the case. Mrs- Fields bic ime a'most distracted and her busi and liiedinvain to pacify her ~ i by hopes that the boys would yet ’ i be found. By this time several citizens, who ha I heard f the mysterious disaii s ■ pearame o' the brothers, had collec ted nt Mr. Ti l ls’ residence, and of be red to intitt. a search. Some i one sugges'ed .at the crowd separ a : ate into three .mops, one to take the " I road 1< w nd Mr Agnew’s, while the I other two were to take roads leading d! in oth“r directions from the town. . That was about 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. About half past 6 o'clock and when about three miles beyond Mr. Agnew's, the searching party on that road was surprised to see a lit £- tie boy running towards them. They ' made haste to meet him. When at ! a short distance apart Mr. Fields. who wai in the party, cried out: ‘Oh, its Robert, my dear little ba , 8 by boy!” The meeting was most affectionate and not a few eyes were suffused with tears. Butjoy was destined t< give wax- to sorrow. Little Robert’s , s lace was [tale and borrow stricken ■s. and he had hardly embraced his father before he cried out: es “Papa they carried Charlie oft'!” ‘ “Who!” cried the distressed par ent fiercely. Then Robert told the stnry fron beginning to end. He and Charlie OS were on their way home when thci were met Ly two men in n| buggy at The men asked them to ride will at them a short piece up the road prom ising to return in a few minutes ill After going several miles they pu tz Robert out of the buggy, telling bin that they would bring Charlie back before night. Charlie cried to g< back tu mamma and papa but the gave him some money and told bin •’ i to keep quiet. That’ was enough. Charlie ha been kidnapped and everybody real t ”' ized it But one thing could bi done the pursuit must be kept up an ; t hat without delay. Last nigh nb-iut II o'clock the searching pal tiau ! i.i t*. 11 f*rti n I to tiilA'li 1111 tlnii had seen nothing of Charlie or hie 1 kidnappers. The last reports from Mill wood lliis morning state that armed men left the place at an early hour. Tel egrams, too, have been sent to vari cus places, and it is thought that the knidnappers may yet be appro hended. THE HOTEL ST. SIMON’S. Something About the Closing of the Season Last Night.' The Hotel St Simon’s closed for the season last night. Every boat to the island during the day carried a delightful crowd of visitors and ere ni”ht, sable goddess, had cast her ominous man tel over the lovely isle, the hotel and the beach were literally thronged. The program for the pyroteebnieal display, which was arranged by Mr. W". T. Glover, was executed success fully and enjoyed by the sight seers. To say that the season just ended was a successful one is but feebly expressing it, and that Manager King feels flattered there is no doubt. For the next few days, Manager King and Clerk Simpson will remain at the hotel, arranging for the re moval of furniture to the Oglethorpe. It is understood that this latter hos telry will be opened early this fall, there being a great demand lor it even now. The coming season at the Ogle thorpe promises to be as successful as has been that at the Hotel St. Simon’s. PERSONAL MENTION Mr. John J. Kirby, of Darien, is in i the city. Mr. A. R. Bradley, of Savannah, ! is in the city. Mr. Robert Myddleton, of Valdos- I ta, is in the city visiting his broth er, Mr. Smith Myddleton. Messrs. F. C. Wallis and Leo Ferst, of Savannah, were am >ng yes terday's visitors to St. Sim in’s. Mr. R. L. Branham, for sometime past with 11. T. Dunn it Son, has ac cepted a position with Mr. S. B. ! Breedlove. ' , Mr. D. M. Rogers and family, who have been on St. Simon’s for several days, left last night for Pablo ‘ beach. Mr. L L >cb, who his been with tie Palais Rina! for several months, leaves tc-morrow for New York via the Mallory line. Mr. John E. dußignon left last | night for Lynville, N.

Railroad Commissioners Meet—Bit ten By a Snake Witnesses For Christ—lnvestigating Electric Cars, Etc. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. I.—[Special.] —The exposition gates will be thrown open to the public on Wed nesday, the 15th of next October. They will close and the show heat sin cud on Saturday the sth of November. This will give to the exposition sixteen working days, only eight days less than the tin e occupied last year. So much for the ti me. The displays, even at this early date, exceed those received last yeai just before the exposition opened. 'I his seems to indicate that the show will be much more interesting, and that it will be conducted on a grander scale goes without saying, as the company has advertised it fai and wide, and has even constructed additional buildings on the grounds to accommodate exhibits that will be inspected |by probably twice as many visitors as were here last year. That brings up the subject that is the most important in connection with the coining exposition—how shall the visitors be entertained': I'hc exposition company litis dei idid to see that every man, woman and child is entertained. That tiiueh i settled, to all who care to come ti Atlanta during the sixteen days that the exposition is op.-n may rest e.-i«\ on that score. KAIf.ItOAD COMMISSIONERS MEET. Atlanta, Ga , Aug I.

It runs directly 9t [>ast my house and my family are forced to keep the windows closed during the afternoon and night on H ‘ account of the terrible stench aris ls ing from the ditch.

' A Baby Cast on the Charity of the World •' ■» “ ! Left at an Old Negro Woman's House on Cochran Avenue-The Moth er Repentsand Returns fcr Her Darling. A pretty little baby girl, with a ’ face as fair as an angel, with eyes as blue as the sky above, with hair that fell in silken strands around her ■ graceful neck. That's just what old aunt Eliza Robinson saw last Wednesday morn ing when she opened her front door. Everybody knows aunt Eliza Rob- • inson. She lives on South Cochran avenue and bears a reputation for 1 honesty and integrity that is not ■ often surpassed by members of her race. i Last Wednesday morning when 'aunt Eliza opened her front door she ■ taw sitting on the step a large willow basket. Anxious to know what this receptacle contained, she drew aside the covering, and what met her gaze and entranced her being was the lovely ba’>e already described. The little one was asleep and as it lay sleeping the sleep of innocence it was as tenderly sweet as the poej's brightest dream. At least, that’s what aunt Eliza ( wanted to say us she lifted the lit tle darling from its couch in the willow basket and carried it in to protect it from the euol air ot the .

Now who can oiler a clear solution? s Did this mother, for some reason 1 i nly known to herself, decide to cast ,v her little girl on the cold charity of >- the world? Did she afterwards g brood over her rash act and weep i) bitter tears of repentence? These f are the question that suggest them selves to the more thoughtful. ,1 “Fore God,” exclaimed old aunt I- Eliza when she was questioned about g the matter, “I do believe dat woman >f wanted to get rid of her pretty little d baby, but she didn’t have the heart ,o to leave it.” It is a strange and sensational r story to say the least of it. The Post will keep its readers informed, should any further developments Q arise. f To be Tried This Afternoon ce A young white man named Jack tie Buckley was arrested yesterday after V. noon by Constable Levisou, on a a- warrant sworn out by a negro named de William Wright, charging Bucklev ;h. with appropriating monej’ that did it- not belong to him.
