The Gas Trust Clerk Locked in Moya-
HnenainE.

lnensing.
Martin w. Culp, the fugitive Gas Trust
clerk, arrested in this city yesterday, was
gived In charge of the PhiladeIphia police
yesterday afternoon, who at once took him
into the new Court House, but as Judge
Hare had adjourned the court, the accused
was committed to Moyamensing, from
whence he was to be brought up for hear
ing at 10 o'clock this morning.
Cup has been In the employ of the Gas
Trust since 1885. He served for some years
as meter inspector, and some seven years
ago was promoted to the position of bill
clerk. When Charles Hooper was
accused Of misappropriating the money
Of the Gas Trust, although suspicion was
directed against one Of the Auditors,
and other persons we're thought to have par
ticipated in the peculations, no accusation
was made against Culp. On Hooper's con-
viction, however, he made plain the method
Of stealing to the District Attorney, and ae-
cused Culp of being one Of the clerks
implicated in the nefarious trans
actions. It was further rumored at
the time that portion of
CuIp's salary was being held back
each month to make up the deficiency
for which he was responsible, but this was
subsequently denied by Cashier White.
There are various rumorB In circulation as
to the extent of Culp' speculations, the gross
amount being variously stated at from 5000
to 81 200. So far the Trustees have pre-
served strict reticenee with regard to the
matter.

A Golored boy Detected In the ACT of
RObblng Safe.
Yesterday morning about 7.30 young
colored fellow named James Z. Groomes
was detected trying to open the safe In the
office of L. f. Adalr, 207 Market street. II
scenes that Groomes has been allowed the
privileges OF the Office and has made it Il
practice of stopping there almost daily,
although he has not been regularly employed
for over a year. Several times lately money
has been missed from the money drawer,
but the deficiency was always attributed to
some one paying bill and not hling the
receipt.
On Thursday, A. D. Ghaytor determined
to watch Groome aud instructed clerk to
do the detective duty. After all had left
the office but Groomes the clerk stationed
himself on the back stairs and from that
point saw Groomes make use of a couple of
duplicate keys with which he opened the In

of abstracting money therefrom, when he
was pounced upon and sent TO the Hall.
The prisoner was given hearing this morn-
ing and held in 500 bail for his appearance

As prophesied time and again in these
columns, the Ideal Opera Company gave the
best performance of the "Chimes of Nor
mandy" that this city ever had the good
fortune to hear. From Whitney to the last
girl in the chorus everything was as near
periest as it was possible to get perform
ance, and something unusual for us, was the
really excellent orchestra. In fact, all
that can be said was that the
rendition was perfect; and now another
prophecy the rendition of ''Patieneo" and
'Fatinitzi'' will be equally good, and the
operas are better. Go by all means. Don't
be toe demonstratiye, but show your appre-

Supposed Suicide.

William Purdy, of New Madrid.
Mo-, has recently been visiting his
sister and brother-in.law, Mr.. VIM.
Newbill and wife, at Trezevant.
While there, we learn, his business
house had been closed by creditors,
and this weighed on his mind heavi-
ly. Last Sunday he went to Mr..
Dan Smith and borrowed rifle, say
ing he wished to kill squirrel. He
carried it back to Newbill's, when he
went into the hallway, saying he ia.
tended to clean the gun. While there
he shot himself through the heart,
causing instant death. He had re.
marked some time since that he did
not expect to live long, and told how
he wished to be dressed for burial.
The above account we had from what
we believe to be reliable source.

PERSONAL.

Mrs. John X. Pearce, of Trenton,
is visiting relatives here.
Mrs. Ode Newhouse spent day
or two here visiting friends last week.
Prof, Langston has returned from
Georgia, where he has been spending
his vacation.
Our charming friend, Miss Evie
Brown, after too short visit here,
left for Nashville last Wednesday.
Prof. Hooker is sojourning awhile
in Chattanooga, where he was called
on account of the illness of his brother.
He left Texas with many regrets.
Mr.. w. j. Hine received tele-
gram Wednesday notifying him that
he was the proud father of a nine and
one>half pound son, and that mother
and child were doing well.
Gen. G. w. Gordon, secretary of
the railroad commission, attended the
Fruit Growers convention here this
week, and assisted that body very
much with his well>timed, sensible
and conservative advice.
Mrs. Mary Sullivan. aged about
sixty years, died last Sunday near
Atwood. after long illness of con-
sumption. She died very happy in
the hope of going to heaven, and with
the promise of her children to meet
her there.
Our enterprising friend and live
merchant, Eli Stone, has taken an in.
terest in dry goods store in McKeu-
zie, and will probably divide his time
between that town and Milan. The
people of Mckenzie will find him tc
be good merchant and a genial,
pleasant gentleman to deal with. He
is, in fact, one of our best citizens.

We understand there is considerable
interest rs to the financial condition
of our sister county aud we consider
the Court lucky in utilizing the valu,
able services of Mr. Merwin, for he
lis clear-headed wide-awake man
and an excellent 6nancier, as his per.
sonal affairs amply prove.

The w. E. Turner baseball club,
of Milan, played the second match
game against the G. A. Hill club at
Trenton last Wednesday, when the
Trenton boys won in score of 80 to
20. The third game will be played
here one day next week. The boys
came back well pleased with their en-
tertainment at Trenton, and want to
go again.
A very large number of people
were in Trenton last Monday.
Speeches were made regarding the
soldiers reunion and barbecue on the
Both inst, and energetic preparations
are being made to feed and entertain
big crowd. All old soldiers are in-
vited, regardless of what army they
belonged to. The tomahawk has
been buried, and we wish to enjoy a
peace jubilee.
Two little sons of Mr.. wills. Mathis
were riding horse on Main street,
near his stable, last Thursday, when
they were thrown. One of the little
fellows got a broken arm in the fall,
and suffered severely. The other
boy was bruised somewhat. We hear
that other little boys scared the horse.
We hope this will be lesson to them
and others. 1t is not right to frighten
horses, especially when any one is RI
ding or driving them.
An extended report of the pro-
ceedings of the West Tennessee Hor-
ticultural Society will be found on the
eighth page. That body has done
much good work here, and it will show
itself in many ways in the near future.
Decidedly the most important action
taken was in the direction of reduc,
ton of freight rates. The committee
was composed of sensible, conserva'
two men, and they spent much time
in considering and preparing their re-
port, which we publish in full. We
trust the railway officials will give ii
the prompt and careful attention il
deserves. 1t is a matter of vital in
terest to our producers, as they will
be compelled to abandon the growing
of some articles if reduction is moi
made. Our people are ready anG
willing to go largely into the busines,
if the railroads will help, and we be,
lieve they will.
