SUGGESTION FOR THE PARADE.
The suggestion is made by some who wit
messed the parade of Saturday from the win
dows along the route that the name of each or
ganization ought to be indicated plainly. The
flags and banners it is impossible to read, and
SO one organization cannot be distinguished
from another, and a great deal of the interest
attached to such demonstration is lost 1t is
thought that If a little transparency or card
giving this information was carried i'm front OF
each organization, the spectators would witness
Inc me parade with considerable more interest
This matter will be brought to the attention OF
the civic and military committees.

| Disappearance Of n Naval Officer.
| NO TRACE OF HIM AFTER AN ABSENCE FROM HIS
SHIP or OVER TEN DAYS.
Some ten days ago Lieut.. +. w. Remey, exec
| utive officer OF the United States training ship
Portsmouth, now lying AT the navy yard at
| Norfolk, Va, mysteriously disappeared and
| although every effort has been made for nearly
| a week to discover his whereabouts, no tidings
whatever have been obtained Ii was said last
week that he had been seen i'm Richmond. and
then again i'm New York. and the authorities of
those places were notified and promptly put
| their detective forces to work without result.
Inc hopes entertained for the missing man s
" "
| lists that he has been drowned. Yesterday Com
modore A. X. Mayo, commanding the station,
| issued orders and six boats, two each from the
training ships Portsmouth, Saratoga and
jamestown, were put to work all day dragging
| the river for the body OF the lieutenant from
I.amberts Point to the navy yard. Commander
Nj. Z. Remey. equipment officer in this citv and
capt. Wm. G Remey. judge advocate general of
the navy, are brothers OF Lieut.. Remy, and have
been notified. He was unmarried.
The Navy department has received no infor-
nation OF the whereabouts of Lieut.. Remey.
he bears the reputation of an excellent officer,
and has the reputation OF having seen more
sea service than any other officer of his grade
in the navy. Some naval officers well ac-
Qualnted with his continued service in different
climates think that his mind has become tenn
| porarily deranged and has wandered oil: Others
think that he must have either fallen oil the
ship or have been foully dealt with.
Over 100000 Of Charred Notes.
! TREASURY EXPERTS EXAMINING THE PACK
AGES IN THE ADAMS EMPRESS COMPANY SAFE
WHICH WAS IN THE FoUR-MILE RUN COL
LISBON.
The two safes belonging to Adams express
company, which were in the express car that
| was burned at the recent collision on the rail-
road near Four-SIile run, were brought to the
| Treasury department and placed i'm charge OF
| Col. Benedict, the Treasury agent OF the COM
pany. They were opened to-day in Treasurer
Wyman's office and the contents removed for
| the purpose of examination and Identification.
A committee of experts, consisting of Mrs.
:.
| Wright, from the Registers office: and Miss
| Rabbit, of the Secretarys office, were set to
work to examine the money contents for the
| purpose OF Identifying as much as possible for
| redemption. Mrs. Fitzgerald, of the office of
| the controller of the currency, an expert on
national bank notes, is to assist i'm examining
notes of that kind. Examination this morn
| ing shows that there must have been over
$4,000 in the two Safes One was a through
| safe from New Orleans, with its contents des-
| tined for this city and New York. The other
| was the way safe of the express messenger. At
| first glance the contents seemed a mass of
| charred paper, but the experts were able to es-
| tablish the denominations of a good portion of
| the money, although it was done up in packages
which We're burned to crisp The ladies would
take charred package and, by deftly inserting
thin knife. would chip off the outer sheet,
which would expose either the face or back of
the next sheet. On il would remain some dis
tinguishing mark familiar to the experts by
which they could at once tell its value. In this
way they would obtain good view Of every
note in package. The operation was a very
interesting one.
