A LITTLE NONSENSE. .
Tha Drummar Wa Equol to tho Ooea-
' slon In Hit Retort.
I happened recently to be travel
ing on a local train which was a
marvel of newness. The engine
wheezed and puffed and pulled, but
evidently the load was too much for
it, and tho delays were very numer
ous. The passengers were not in the
best of humor, and tho conductor
came in for a great deal of harsh
criticism. One man on tho train, a
drummer, was especially indignant
and taunted and gibed the con
ductor unmercifully:
"This blankety, blank, blank train
is just about the limit. Why, it
couldn't beat molasses in winter,"
etc.
Finally the conductor's patience
became exhausted. "Say."' he said
to the drummer, "if you don't like
this train why don't you get out and
walkr"
"J would," responded the drum
mer, "onlv my wife don't expect me
until the train gets in.'' .Judge's

Rowlands Arc Acquitted.
Charlotte Observer.
Thojuryiuthe Superior Court
was given the Rowland case at
midnight precisely, after ten hours
of argument and charge. The
State attacked the veracity of the
la.st witnesses for the defense aud
it championed the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, which had
so stoutly and steadily aided in
pressing a prosecution which it
had initiated. The defense charged
the State with suppressing facts,
and it attacked the Brotherhood.
It was known that there would be
no verdict until to-day if then.
Many persons predicted acquittal;
others said the jury would le
''hung." A very few said guilty
as to Rowland himself, while some
said there would be a Scotch
"not proven."
At 1):'J0 a. m. the jury sent word
to Judge Long it was ready with
its verdict. He went to the court
room at once. The solicitor was
sent for. It was twenty minutes
before he arrived. Elmer Shaffer,
one of the prosecuting attorneys,
was also present for that side. All
the attorneys for the defense, "Wat
son, Harris, Holding. Ryan and
Hicks, were on hand. Dr. and
Mrs. Rowland were brought in.

Harper, announced the verdict,
which was "not guilty. "' As he
spoke the words there was a rattle
of applause and cheers from many
of the crowd which jammed the
court room. Judge Long struck
the desk sharply and declared
such behavior an outrage; saying
the court room was not a theatre
and that if he knew the men who
made the demonstration he w ould
tine each .100.
WKKP FOK JOY.
He then left the bench and a
strange scene begat. Dr. and Mrs.
Rowland and attorneys Hicks and
Harris cried. Mi's. Rowland and
her sister hugged each other fully
a minute, while they screamed for
joy. Their lawyers shook hands
with the late prisoners, and then
a large number of people followed
this lead. Next the Rowlands
took a carriage and went to their
boarding house on Polk street.
Quickly they went from there to
directly opposite the postoflice and
over the Western Union Telegraph
oflice. They then held a public
reception. Some of their very en
thusiastic friends drovt up with a
wagon load of flowers which wera
presented to them.
At 1 o'clock they and the uncles
(Jill left for the home of the latter
near Henderson.
The Raleigh public, like other
publics, is fickle. But a few days
ago the Rowlands appeared well
