see, there are several of them.
A negro named Charles Berry was
yesterday arrested upon warrant sworn
out 10y Mr.. II. A. Harmon, charging him
with embezzling $337j Of Mr.. lannon's
money. He has been employed by Mr..
Hannon to work team, belonging to the
latter, on the recent improvement OF New
Levee street He had entered the team as
his own, had drawn the money himself and
then spent It without consulting Mr.. Han
non about it at ALL When asked for the
money, he simply answered, in sort OF
what are you-going .to-do-about-it' air.
that he had spent it. Berry was exam
ined by Justice J. IL Robinson and held
to bail in the sum of 800, in default of
which the court committed him to the
county Jail to await the action of the grand
jury.
AT this mornings service in the Pres
byterian church Bey. B. Y. George will call
meeting of the congregation for Wed

his request for release from his pastoral con

poets to leave tomorrow for Lancaster,
Texas, to visit his parents, whom he has not
seen for many years He will return in
time to preach his last sermon as pastor of
the church here Sunday after next. He will
then attend the meeting Of the Presbytery
at Mt Vernon on the % OF October and re
turn here TO preach and administer the holy
sacrement on Sunday the 7th, after which
he will 90 to assume bis duties as pastor Of

departure Of Rev George from this com
