Narrow Escape of Passengers and
Crew
RAN ON A SUBMERGED :WRECl

area. People from a Sinking
Ocean Steamer.
By Wire to Tn Tklbg slam.
New York, Feb. 12 The big Netherlands-American
boat Vendam ' from
New York to Rotterdam, was lost at
sea on Pebruary6th. Thes American
liner St. Louis brought her passengers
and crew safely into port today. The
ill-fated steamer had aboard 9 cabin,
118 steerage passengers and a crew of
85. A submerged wreck tore a . great
hole in her bottom and broke out her
propeller shaft. All the pumps netjrf
set to work but the water gained and
the boats were made ready.
The male passengers joined the crew
at the pumps. All night this was kept
up in a heavy sea. At 10 o'clock on a
stormy morning the St. Louis' was sig
nailed that the vessel was sinking. No
mishap of any kind attended the trans
fer of passengers, though a heavy sea
was running. The transfer began at
2 and ended at 5 o'clock. When the
last boat load of passengers left the
Vendam she was sinking rapidly.' She
was fired.
The Vendam rated as first-class. She
was fitted with an iron screw and
triple 'expansion engines. She was
three days out when she struck the
wreck.
COMMENDED BY PASSENGERS. '.
The passengers of the St. Louis
passed resolutions commending the
gallant service and splendid seaman
ship displayed by the officers and
crew in rescuing the passengers vand
crew of the Vendam., :- -
SAFE ROBBER CAPTURED.
Knew the Combination and Had Been
There Before.
i
For some time past Mr. E. G. West
has been missing money from the safe
his saloon. He suspected Martin
Kelly, a forirer employe and last
night he deeided to remain and watch
for the thief. Secreting himself near
the front entrance Mr. West waked
and watched.
Betwcn 1:30 and 2 o'clock a. n. a
man appeared at the front door, un
locked it and stepped inside. Here he
waited a moment, apparently listen
ing. Making sure that he was not
watched he went to the safe, which
was distant about ten feet from where
Mr. West was concealed, lighted a
match and began working the com
bination. Without waiting further develop
.ments Mr. West fired upon him with a
32 calibre pistol and the robber made
a break for the door. Mr. West
caught him and forced him to surren
der at- the point of his pistol. No
policemen being near by the prisoner
was carried up to the chief-of -police,
who had him locked up.
It was a cool, nervy act on the part
of Mr. West and a lucky thing for
Kelly that he was not killed. The ball
entered his clothing on the right side
and passing through the folds of his
coat lodged in his vest. Mr. West
told The Telegram man that he didn't
know just how much money he had
lost, but that the robbery had been
going on for some time. The fellow
had been discharged three or four J.
months ago on suspicion of being
"light fingered." Mr. West thinks
he had learned the combination by
watching, him open the safe. The
locks have been changed three times,
but each time Kelly has managed to
secure a key that would let him in.
A Novel Hair Curler.
Jeweler Farrar was displaying a
novelty in the way of a hair curler
this morning. The handle of the
curler is an alchol reservoir with a
burner at the end next to the iron.
When a maiden wishes to frizz her
locks all that is necessary is to light
the alcohol and the iron remains hot
as long-as desired obviating the ne
cessity of smoking the iron over a
kerosene lamp and "the danger of
burning the curls. Hereafter curls
should be more abundant than ever.

Lincoln's Birthday Celebrated.
Reported (or the Telegram.
The celebration of Lincoln's birth
day by the students of the A. & M.
College last night in the chapel of the
college was fine. A large number of
citizen were in attendance. "Ameri
ca" was used as an opening song.
Prayer was offered- by the Rev. Pow
ell. The Emancipation Proclamation
was read, and a female quartett ren
dered in sweet strains "The Old Camp
Ground" The female baritone in this
quartette was powerful. Prof. J. M.
Butler, the musical director for the
institution is a hard worker and de
serves much credit. The programme
was somewhat lengthy, and before the
last piece was rendered, Pres. Dudley,
came forward and thanked the citizens
for turning out to witness the exercises
and begged them to come often and
bring their friends. Prof. Chas. H.
Moore, was master of ceremonies.
Tobacco to Burn.
People at the depot today at noon
saw something rather unusual in the
way of a train. Fifty solid cars of
leaf tobacco from the inspection and
storage warehouse of J. E. Perkinson
& Co. of Danville, Va., passed
through. The train was drawn by
two engines and the tobacco was con
signed to W. Duke, Sons & Co. at
Durham where it will be used in the
manufacture of "Duke's Mixture."
The train was abundantly placarded,
showing its contents and destination.
Evidently the demand for Durham's
brands of smoking tobacco is not fall
ing off.
Price Slaughtering.
More stupendous price reductions
and phenomenal saving opportunities
will be inaugurated with next week's
sweeping clearing sale commencing
Monday at the Guilford Department
Store. It promises to raise havoc

all goods are fine and fashionable.
No matter how ridiculous the prices
may seem.
Their sale opens on Monday at 10
o'clock. A rare opportunity for un
paralleled bargains.
At the Academy of Music this after
noon there was much merriment in the
pie eating contest. The Hordings
Merry Makers gave a matinee for tfie-4

Under Protection.
By Wirt! to Ta? Tkuboram.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 12 Lawyers
for the defense in the Lattimer trial
l-expecfr to spring a sensation either late
today, or on nei Monday. They claim
thaj they havejevidence going to show
that two prominent mine owners have
personally authorized the intimida
tion of witnesses and have kept away

claimed, have been induced to come
into court, and have been assured that

likelihood now that the attorneys for

gue that the sheriff had a right to or
der his men to shoot, even if it was a
"mistake."
OLD TIME MINSTRELSY.
An
Excellent .Entertainment at the
Casino Last Night.
The Casino auditorium was well
filled last night with an audience that
showed its appreciation of the excel
lent minstrel performance presented
by the favorite Gorton minstrels.
The gorgeous stage settings sf the
first part attracted favorable comment
but when DeWitt Cooke, the conver
sationalist, began his part of the en
tertainment, assisted by H. J. Yorcey
and Dick Vonder the "bones" and
Hawk Goodman and George -Mullan
the "tarn bos," the stage settings were
forgotten and peals of laughter and
round after round of applause were
given with a hearty good will.
Tbe singing was especially deserving
of praise. The soloists and quartette
were very good and the noted gold
conoert orchestra was fully up to the
expectations. JThe show was clean,
bright and humorous from start -to
finish and not one person in the large
audience was dissatisfied. The special
ties by Hawk Goodman, Joseph Gor
ton, Jr., Mullen and Vonder, H. -J.
Yorkey, DeWitt Cooke Cr and all were
staictly up to date.

ify aThirst for Blood.
Lexington, Ky., Feb. 10. The thirst
for blood In aduel with the Breckin
ridges to which Captain T. E. Moore
has given expression may-yet be grat
ified. Colonel W. C. P. Breckin
ridge's paper has a scathsng and
scoffing editorial this . morning on this
subject, headed: 'Once a Man, Twice
a Child," and ridiculing Captain
Moore as follows:
"We regret that this venerable
Pooh-Bah should set so bad an exam
ple to the rising youth of Kentucky as
to publicly challenge men to mortal
ccmbat- Life is too short to waste its
fleeting hours in associations from
which no improvement can arise, but
if our indignant candidate for office
feels that he cannot succeed without
meeting somebody, and will go about
seeking that meeting with some degree
of energy and alacrity, it is not im
possible that he might succeed."
Electricity Kills a Horse.
A horse cwned by Stephen Beyer, a
cloth sponger of Ferry and Alyea

hung down in the street to within a
few feet of the ground. Its end struck
)he horse in the head. The animal
sprang into the air, broke its harness
and then fell dead. The electric cur
rent travelled from the body of the

young Beyer into insensibility. He
soon recovered and seemed not much
worse off for his experience. New

There is the famous Mark Hanna, Mc
Kinley, Secretary Sherman and the
Honorable Mr. Day, all from Ohio.
Some of you that I leave -behind ought
to investigate and determine whether
Ohio runs the United States or has
merely annexed it as an outlaying
province. Possibly that is the reason
of the stir for - tha annexation of
Cuba."
