SANDER.


Twas but q breath
And yet the fair. good name was wilted. 3
And friends once fond grew cold and stifted
And life was worse than death
One venomed word,
That struck its coward. poisoned blow,
In craven whispers, hushed and low
And yet the wide world heard
Twas but one whisper-oAe,
That muttered low, for very shame,
The thing the slanderer dare not name
And yet lite work was done
A hint 40 slight.
And yet 80 mighty in its power.
A human soul in enc short hor-
Lies crushed beneath its blight!

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Alleged Crookedness.

Some weeks since VIM Herndon was
elected Superintendent of the City Gene
teries, vice VIM Laufkotter term expired
Mr. Herndon died, and his son has sue
ceeded to the position Several days ago
rumors were ahoat, especially in political
circles, that there was going to be an expose
of official crookedness in the Office of the
Superintendent of the City Cemetery. 1t
was looked upon at first as rather a grave
joke, but upon Mr.. Herndon's being inter-
viewed by RECORD UNION reporter
on the subject, the following was
elected Lots in the cemetery are
sold by the city ON easy terms, and, in
nearly all cases, on the installment plan.
They range IN price, according TO size and
location, from So % to upwards of S40G.
The money is paid to the Superintendent,
who gives his personal receipt for the same,
until the entire amount is paid then the
city gives a deed for the lot. 1t appears,
although repeatedly requested to do Sc, that
Mr. Lauf hotter has failed and refused to
turn uver 10 his successor in office, the cash
book and accounts for certain and Sundry
collections made by him during the last
two months Of his term. Last week he
was informed that unless he settled before
Saturday the matter would be laid before
the Trustees 1T the session Monday This
he promised TO do, but failing, was reported.
On Monday Auditor Mckee, aS required
by law, gave to the Mayor official notice by
letter of the condition of affairs Mr. Lauf-
llotter was cited 10 appear before the Board
and did so 1T a special meeting held for
that purpose yesterday. He excused him
self for NOT making out his last state
ment and paying over the money he had
belonging to the city, by saying his family
were sick The last week of his term he
collected SIS, bun he admits to having up
wards of $50 Of the city's coin. The Mayor
gave the eX-otficial Il severe reprimand,
read him the law governing such cases, and
made demand upon him for all books,
papers and funds belonging to the city. and
which c,unc into his possession by virtue
of the Office of Superintendent of the City
Cemetery. The Mayor also demanded an
immediate settlement but up to the closing
of the Office Yesterday no settlement had
been made The Board will meet again
to-day to take further steps in the matter.
I'm expert viii Immediately examine the
books. and Laufkotter's bOndsmen will be
sued for the amount the books are short.
The Trustees are quite charitable, and say
thar, although he had no right To use any
of the funds, ~ the same time they believe
it was done without criminal intent.
