I imrtu I I I i - Safe at Slier City Robbed of Its Cash Contents. Special to The Tklbgram. Siler City, N. C, June quiet little town was visited by cracks men last night. The safe of Lamb & Teague, daalersin general merchan dise, was blown open at 1:30 o'clock this morning and about $150 in )jnoney was taken therefrom. The work was neatly done and evidently was the work of professionals. Up to this hour no clew has been secured as to the guilty par ties. Officers of surrounding towns are requested to be on thejlookout for suspicious personages. No other property was molested here. Bicycle Race on the Fourth." The w oi k of securing riders for the road race next Monday is progressing finely and many inquiries from bicy clists of neighboring towns have been received. The number of applicants is gradually increasing and we have been informed that the limit is nearly reached. Up to the present Greens boro riders have not shown a desire to enter the race and not a single one has put in an application. This is no doubt due to the proverbial "I will if you wiH" way of doing things. "We hope the riders in the city will give their names to Mr. "Wingate at once and begin to train for the race. It would not do at all for a rider from some other town to come in and carry off the prize, and i to -keep them from doing so our bicyclists must begin work at once and in earnest. What the prizes will be has not been deter mined but we are assured that they will be worthy of the winning. Serious Accident. A very serious and probably fatal a'-cidunt happened yesterday to Ernest Mason, colored, while trying to board a train near the railroad crossing on East Mai'ket street. He had started out to Proximity and intended riding on an outgoing train. When he tried to board the train he was thrown to the track with such force that5 his right arm was literally crushed from elbow to shoulder. Drs. Stamey and Richardson were summoned and found it necessary to amputate the whole arm. The doctors do not think the wheel passed over the limb but that Mason's elbow struck a crosstie near the rail and the weight of his body crushed the arm. It was amputated at the shoulder joint and though Mason was much better this morning the doctors think that as the wound was so near the body it will prove fatal. Mason is about 19 years old. The Bicycle Parade. Those who desire to participate in the bicycle part of the grand parade on the Fourth of July are earnestly requested to send their names to Gar land Daniels who will have charge of hat division of the procession. Any uuo will be ai liberty to join the pa rade even at the last moment but it will be better to send in the names that those in charge may know upon what to depend. It is especially de sired that as -large a number of la dies as -possible take in the parade. Those who are supplied with bicycle costumes used in the bicycle drills given hitherto are requested to wear them. Flags should be worn if ob tainable. The cyclists will meet at Daniel's sporting good establishment. From the hundreds of wheelmen and wheelwomen in Greensboro it should be easy to tnrn out an imposing array. Taylor Place Incorporated. The sale of the Taylor place, which was noted in yesterday's Telegram, was purchased by a syndicate of Penn sylvanians, through Mr. Samuel P. Langdon, of Philadelphia. The sec retary of state yesterday incorporated the company under the name of "The Taylor Place" with a capital stock not to exceed $100,000. The business the company will conduct is tha tof mining various ores. Congressional Convention.

The Local News from Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau, ) High Point, N. C, June 30, '98. f The most important real estate deal of the week was the purchase of the Mount Vernon Roller Mills by Mr. Dongan Davis, who we learn will as sume active management of the mill. Mr. Davis is a conservative business man pays strict attention to whatever he is engaged in, therefore the exten sive patronage this mill once enjoyed will doubtless be renewed. The scarcity of vacant lots suitable for building purposes in a desirable part of town can no longer be argued against High Point's growth, with the opening up of the tract of land in the city by Mr. M. J. Wrenn and the di viding of the same into 150 desirable building lots places within the reach of every mechanic the opportunity to own a home and with the .ands of the High Point Improvement companies in the eastern and western part of the city one can find property contiguous to his place of employment at a reas onable price The return to the manufacturers of the soda fountain at Flagg's drug store, from which during the past year has issued many draughts of cooling beverage for the comfort of our people, is a source of reerret to the general public, especially at this season of the year. Evsry business man and bicycle rider should bear in mind that on and after tomorrow every check and draft must bear a stamp and every bicycle must stay in the "middle obderoad." Rev. T. J. Ogburn, of Greensboro, will preach in the Methodist Protestant church Sunday. Mr. Ogburn is cor responding secretary of the foreign missionary society and a prominent and able minister and is always a wel come visitor to our city. Claud C. Barbee, the regular Tele gram correspondent at this place, left this morning for a week's vacation in the mountains of Western North Caro lina. State Central Committee.

Simmons as chairman and the re-election of John W.Thomp son secretary gives special pleasure. George H. Brown withdrew his name from the nomination'forthe chairman ship.

Material has been ordered by the Santa Fe for the largest locomotive ever built. The engine has been de signed for mountain climbing and it is said that the big Player engine and those built for the Santa Fe by the Dickson Locomative Works will be but playthings when compared with this giant locomotive. The engine will be built by the loco motive department of the -Santa Fe shops in this city. Among its features will be a boiler built of one-inch boil er steel and cylinders whose dimen sions will be 12 by 32 inches. It will have no "pops" as they will not be required. No fireman living would be able to build a fire that would create enough steam to burst the boiler of this mogul. The engine will have ten drivers, and it is estimated that it will be able to haul a third larger load than any engine the Santa Fe now has. It is not known when this greatest of moguls will be completed, as the material for its construction has just been ordered, but it will not be until some time late in the summer or early in the fall. Topeka Daily Capital. An Unusual Fly Trap. An unusual and most novel sight was shown yesterday in the window of Thomas' shoe shop, next to Stamey & Grissama' drug store, in South Greensboro. Fly paper was a dis count at that place yesterday and will probably remain so. A mouse was in the window and was catching flies and and eating his afternoon meal. Quite a crowd gathered around the window but his mouship continued to catch the insects until he had eaten a hearty re past. The oldest inhabitant was dumb founded and could not remember a single similar instance. OF STEEL Shatter Strangling the Doomed City of Santiago.

Practically the entire fighting force will swing Into Caney from Aquadores making this point the base of operations as a railroad to connect it with Santiago is being rapidly pushed by the engi neers and a large force of troops.
