RoBBISG THE CoUNTY.-The examination in
the case Of Philip Wilson, the colored man who
was committed 20 jail few days since for at
tempting 10 pass forged check for thirty-two
dollars upon the county treasurer, has led to
further developments, which implicate one OF
the model teachers of our county schools.
The school Is situated at the Forks OF the
road, In the county, and Is known as Haynes
Chapel The amount claimed by the teacher,
a woman, is fifty dollars for herself, and
forty.eight for an assistant teacher. Upon in
ouiry it was found that during the time for
which these salaries were claimed to be due
the school had not been open, showing bare
faced attempt to make the county pay for
work which was not done. The teacher has
been committed to Jail to await her examina-
lion before Trial Justice Magrath, which
takes place this morning. Several important
facts have been brought to light which
promise to disclose a general svindie at the
examination.

IMPORTANT ADDITION TO TIE WEATHER SIG

noon, from headquarters in Washington, by
Sergeant J. E. Evans, the weather observer In

ever it is necessary:
The cautionary signal of the Signal Service,
q. S. Arny-a red flag with black square III
the centre by day and red light by night
displayed at the office OF the observer,
siguifes
/. That from the information had at the cen,
tral Office in Washington, probability OF
stormy or dangerous weather has been de-
duced for the port or place at which the eau
tionary signal Is displayed, or In that vicinity.
2. That the danger appears to be SO great as
to demand precaution on the part OF navisa-
tors and others interested-such as an eXaml'
nation of vessels or other structures to be en-.
dangered by storm-the Inspection of crews,
rigging, &C., and general preparation f1r
rough weather.
3. 1t calls for frequent examination of local
barometers, and other instruments, oy snip
captains, Of others interested, and the study ol
local signs OF the weather. as clouds, &C., &c.
By this means those who are expert may often
be confirmed as TO the need OF the pIecaullon,

or may determine that the danger Is orer-estl.

been made by which one man will be on duty

WHERE THE PAPERS Go.-At an early hour
yesterday morning small negro boy was seen
to pull The DAILY NEWS from beneath the door
of residence on Coming street and make Oh
with his prize. The paper had just been lett
bv the carrier, and the little scoundrel was
evidently on the watch for a chance TO itch
copy of what Is (although modesty forolds us
to say it) the most popular newspaper in the
State. Carriers must be careful 10 thrust the
papers we'll under the doors, or to put them
>therwise out of reach. The juvenile thieves
must not be tempted beyond their strength.

PAYING PoLIrIcs.-The residence of Sena-
tor c. P. Leslie in South Carolina must have
been both profitable and pleasant. Only two
or three weeks ago he bought valuable
piece Of real estate in New York, and now we
have the report in the New York Sun oi
another interesting transaction Of the same
sort. The Sun says:
We yesterday received information from v
K. Stevenson & Son that they had sold at pri'
vate sale for Francis w. Worth four lots, one
hundred feet square, on the northwest corner
of the Grand Boulevard and Eightieth street
for s59, 900. The property was taken by Mr.
Leslie, Of South Carolina. These lots were
bought in June last by Mr. Worth for SEQ, ,0OO
subject to the Riverside Park assessment O.
1920, and the most singular feature of the
transaction Is that In the face of recent offel
of $40, 900 made by John McClave, which was
rejected, Mr.. Worth should dispose OF hi:
property at 80 great sacrifice.
