ANOTHER BIG STEAL.

coming notorious for rascality aud Ala.
bama may now take a seat on the
bench alongside of Inundated Tennes-
see. A late dispatch reads:
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Jan. 3l.-The
legislative committee has counted the
money in the Treasury vault, and
found $152, 900. The deficit is 1927 900,
and is amply secured by good bonds
men. 1t is developed that the money
was taken in the last two years, and
nearly all before November, last. Vim
cont, according to a statement by
witness made before the committee,
lost over 100000 in cotton through
one house, Fred. Wolfe, and some
through others. 1t is surmised that
he may have loaned some, although
no evidence to that effect has been
shown. There has been some talk late
~, since he bought n nice house, rich
furniture, and carriage and horses. The
Governor has taken charge of the keys
of the Treasury for the present. The
default will not interfere with the
States business in the least, nor cause
any interruption in the regular pay
ment of warrants. The January inter-
est is all paid.
Upon being Informed of the detalca-
ton the Governor sent the following
message to tho legislature
To the Senate and House of Representa-
iveS:
cit becomes MY painful and morti.
flying duty to inform you that Isaac
IL. Vincent, Treasurer Of the State, is
short In his account and has left the
city. This fact was made known by
Vincent in the following note to Mr..
A. ID. Crawford, clerk in his office, dn-
ted the Goth, which was received by
Crawford on the afternoon of the 30th
and was communicated to me at $50
pm. that day:
STATE or ALABAMA, TREASURY DEr'Nr,
MONTGOMERY, Jan. 20, 1883. !
Dear Crawiord--I find this evening
| that my money is not here; neither
has it been paid over to tho Importers
and Traders Bank as promised. leave
for New York to straightcn the whole
matter. ! have perhaps waited too
long, and will be censured, but l have
no idea Of running away. wish you
would assist tho committee, and after
the balance is ascertained ask them to
wait day and telegraph me, care of
Fred. Wolfe, New York. If any
things happens to me l wisth to state
positively that being behind in my
cash is my own fault, and that you
had nothing to do with it.
| Your friend,
] r
"The amount of Nincent's dcfulcu.
ton can only be ascertained after care
full examination of the Treasurcr's
books and careful count of money in
the Treasury, but hurried and partial
investigation indicates that it is more
than 100000. 1t is not known by
what train or in what direction Vim
cent left Montgomery. Means have
been arranged to intercept him If pos
sible. 1t is believed tho State is large

two houses will have communications

4 BIG Fire at CrisfeId

Early last Sunday morning hre broke
out in a small house in the business dis
trict of Crisfield, and before it could be
got under control had destroyed sixteen
buildings, including the principal mercan-
tile establishments Of the town. The
flames had gained great headway before
the fire engine was got in operation, but
it did good service in saving property, and
with it the fire company finally gained the
mastery of the flames. All the buildings
burned were under three stories in height
and lightly built, and when once on fire
they soon burned to the ground. The
loss is estimated at 100000. The owners
of the property will begin to rebuild as
soon as possible. Those made houseless
by the misfortune were given shelter by
the neighbors. The origin of the fire is
unknown Only year ago Crisfield had
big fire, destroying a square and involv-
ing a heavy loss. Among those burned
out by the recent fire were J. A. Vande-
grift, dealer in stoves and tinware, and J.
A. Hearn, dealer in general merchandise,
both we'll known in this neighborhood.
Mr.. vandegrift is a son Of L. G. Vande-
grift, of Middletown. His loss is stated
to be $1,000, on which there was an insur-
ance of S2,5OO. ]. A. Hearn & Go. sus-
tanned a loss Of $4,000 and were insured
for $4,000. The Mutual Insurance Com

The Elephant Laughs.

During the street parade Of the Circus
Royal on Tuesday the "s15,OOO beauty"
had fall from an elephant. The accident
occurred on Main street. The "beauty''
sat in a sort of orchestra chair on the sum-
init of the elephant while male attendant
rode on either side below her. The ele-
phant was going along in thoughtful
mood, when happening suddenly to think
Of a good circus joke he had heard four or
five hundred years ago, he had to stop and
laugh. And he laughed so heartily that
the strap that held the orchestra chair on
gave way, and down came the beautiful
lady and her attendants to the mud. The
elephant was sorry about it, no doubt, but
he has keen sense of humor and when
these old circus jokes come into his head
he has to laugh, and when he laughs
there is trouble for those who are occupy
ing the reserved seats on his back. A
fall from an elephants back is neither
bit of pleasant recreation nor graceful act
for "S15,O00 beauty" but fortunately the
lady was not hurt beyond a distressing
shaking up. The elephant was made to
kneel down, the orchestra chair was read
iusted, the lady again mounted to the
summit Of the beast, and the procession
proceeded, to brisk music by the band.
