YEGG M F N T KILL E El BREAKS RECORDS Cracked Safe of Asheville Dray, Fuel and Construction Com pany, After Trying Two Other Places. SECURED $74 FROM THE COMPANY'S SAFE Stole Dynamite From French Broad Quarry and Tried H. J. Olive's Store, But Were Frightened Away. Asheville was visited again : last night by yeggmen, and three places were broken into; one, the French Broad Quary and Material company on the French Brdad river, where the yeggmen secured dynamite and caps; , a,. o..u.- , where nothing is missed and the yard office of the Asheville Dray, Fuel and Construction company, at the depot, where the safe was blown open and $74.24 taken. ; Officers from the sheriff's office and the police headquarters have been working on the case all the morning but at noon today it was stated, that no clues had been found as to the guilty parties. According to the facts gathered by the officers, the men, for it is believed that more than one man constituted the robbing expedition, visited . the plant of the French Broad Quarry and Material company, on the French Broad river. In the depot section, broke, into the place and stole, a quantity of dynamite and caps, for. the sticks.. Leaving this plant the officers are of the. opinion that: the yeggmen went ttt once' 0 me store of HTXT Olive, located at No. 551 West Hay wood street, near Smith's bridge. At that place a glass In the front door, which was about 14 Inches wide and three feet long, was broken by an old pick, which was found Just outside the door to the store. Did Not Enter. The robbers did not enter the Olive store, for after a careful examination I this morning, it was stated that noth- Ing has been missed and it Is believed that the robbers were frightened away by people passing. In the store the cash register contained about $7 in small change, which it is stated Is all the money that was left in the store yesterday afternoon when It was closed. Following the attempt to rob the Olive store, it is believed that the same men visited the yard office of the coal company, where they were more fortunate, for after breaking a small glass In a window they entered tho office unobserved. The safe was "soaped" and nltro-glycerlne was used, the door of the safe being torn completely off the hinges and the front part of the safe demolished. From the safe the sum of. $74.24 was taken and many valuable papers were also taken by the robbers. Hoard Running. A man who feeds for Bird and Ramsey Was sleeping In a barn near the office of the company at the time of th robbery and was aroused by the noise of the explosion. Although he did not see anyone and did not make an Investigation, he saya that he heard a man running Just after the explosion of the safe. Another man who was nearby at the time states that he heard several men running and he believes that three men were In the party at the coal office. Just a few nights ago the depot of fice of the Standard OH company was broken Into, the safe cracked and a large amount of money taken from It with no clues left behind. Although the officers have been on the case since then and have wired to many sections of the country they they have failed to secure anything on which to base an arrest. The Olive store has been the sub ject of attacks of robbers and would be robbers on several occasions, the Inst occurring about two years ago when the store waa robbed by negroes. Bherlff E. M Mitchell went to Knox vllle and with the aid of the police of that city was ahla to locate' two negroes who were returned here, con victed and given road sentences. The officer also secured goods valued at shout 65 which had been stolen from tha store.

OLD FOOTBALL FAN OFF FOR GAME AT RICHMOND North State Building Co, of Winston-Salem Incorporated for $125,000; Other Charters Granted at Raleigh. (By W. T. Bost) Raleigh, Nov. 25. Dr. Livingston Johnson, corresponding secretary of the Baptist State convention, opened his mail yesterday and found that he had collected 55, 524. 59. This not only fulfilled his prophe' cies and the high standards set by the convention, but it was $500 more than was asked and $5,524 more than has been raised before. The task of rais ing a great amount of money when the large part of the country popula tion of North Carolina was suffering on account of the war, was understood to be a hard one. Dr. Johnson figured that in his denomination might be found people who are willing to put something into a commodity that would stop wars if used rightly. His people have taken great interest in religious work. The convention this year meets in Charlotte. It opens December 6 and will run through the week. Tuesday was the last day allowed for making up the report and with the last letters received on the trains that' night the grand total came to $50,000 plus the $5,000 debt brought over from last year. That debt would have been cleared easily but the State Board pf :MAitna jhjaMd-naTry'-e: h urehee-tmd the total amount necessary to have cleared the work before the conven tion is $56,200. - - V ' "Tho Hurvard Plan." When the convention meets in Char lotte two weeks hence, It will be en tertained on "the Harvard plan." The delegates will be received In the homes of the Charlotte people and given rooms and breakfast. Lunch and dinner will be taken up town so that the work of the convention will be hampered much less by the dinner and supper hours while the hostesses will be greatly relieved during their work throughout the day. This is the first time the Harvard plan has been tried on a church body In North Carolina. It Is the first time announcement of such departure has been made. The convention expects to get a great deal more work done by this method and may be able to compete Its program earlier than otherwise It would have done. The return of Dr. Jonnson to active ministerial work In January will re tire him from the secretaryship. He has declined to stand for re-election and will go to Rocky Mount to serve that church, one of the best ones In the convention. i Perriri Busbee, twenty years a fan who never lost his football enthusi asm, left last night for Richmond to attend tho football game today be tween North Carolina and Virginia universities. Mr. Busbee has attended every game between the two teams since 1895 when Carolina with a team ad mitted to be forty per cent better than Virginia, found It Impossible to break through the Virginia line. Its crowded field and Its defense for a touchdown. Richmond papers admitted that the game was taken from Carolina. Caro lina charged that It waa "taken by disreputable means." "Doggie" Trenchard was that year coach. Virginia bent 6 to 0 and the next year 48 to 0. In 187 It was 12 to 0 and in 1898 Carolina won 6 to 2. Virginia's annual overwhelming has not destroyed the enthusiasm of Mr. Busbee. He trained the 1892 team with Pete Murphy center and Judges Devln and lliggs members of the bunch of chum, plons. Virginia bent Carolina SO to 18 at home hut Carolina swamped her 26 to 0 In Atlanta. A stroke of paral ysis has largely dlnabled this uncon querable rooter and habit of defeat has not hurt him. It Is to he doubted if any other North Carolinian bus fol lowed the team through thick and thin, mostly thin, so faithfully, Charters were granted yesterday to the North Ktate llulldlng company, of Wlnston-Halem and to the Edgecombe County Cotton Exchange of Tarboro. The Winston-Salem corporation has 1126,000 authorized capital and $2,000 paid In by W. W. Moore, John Raw ley, E, P. Yates and others.
