ton. Mr.. Warner did not know where
the contracts were, but thought that
possibly he might hold some IN his
possession.
DAVIES TESTIMONY.
Julien T. Davies, the receiver for
Grant & Ward, next testified that he
took possession OF the assets of Grant
& Ward May 8, 1884. He read a
partial list of the securities of the firm
which were found in boxes in the
bankers safe of the deposit company,
which place the witness had visited in
company with U. S. Grant, Jr. He
did not know the value of the securi-
ties and could not tell the names Of
the parties who had brought suits
about them. So great was their mum
Der that some of the securities had
been delivered to their owners upon
their payment of the loans for which
they were pledged. Others were val

posal by the direction of the court
OF the 1910 600 in bonds of the Buff
falo and New York r. R., Senator
Chaffee and receiver Johnson of the
Marine bank, both claim them. Benz.
Fish also claimed some bonds, and
FIVE were delivered to him by order OF
the court. In one package whore 125
bonds should have been II were mi s.
ing. He had found $3.50 in the Office
on taking possession and the bank ac>
count was over drawn. The assign
ment Of Grant 81 Ward was then Of
fered in the evidence.
FURTHER TESTIMONY.
At 1915 the jury entered the court
room and the testimony of John II.
Carr, receiving teller of the Marine
bank, was read. 1t covered the trans
actions in regard to the checks upon
which the Indictment was framed, The
jury again retired.
AT 1927 the jury again entered the
court room and asked that James ID.
Fish's testimony be read, as it was not
clear whether or not the bank certi'
fed the checks on account of Wards
representations, or in order to protect
Ward from failing, as his failure
would pull the bank down also. The
testimony was read and the jury again
retired.
THE VERDICT.
At 12:45 a. m., the jury re entered
the court room, and rendered YER
dict of larceny in the first degree. The
penalty is 10 years, within the discre'
ton of the court.

THE humming Of telegraph and teIe
phone wlres SO often heard, is gener'
ally considered to bs caused by the
wind. r. w. Mcbride, of Waterloo,
Ind, who specially studied the matter
for several years on his private wire,
which had strong gift of humming,
is satisfied that the wind IS not the
agent, for he found the sound more
likely TO be heard on adry, clear cool
and calm eveaing than at any lcther
time. He is also Convinced that the
sound is not produced by electricity,
Tor he could detect no signs of that
agent when the humming was going
on, while at times when the wire was
evidently charged there was no sound.
The humming was accompanied by a
rapid vibration of the wire. In fact,
the mater is thought TO be g sort OF
13>14.15 puzzle of popular science.

Results OF the Virginia Flood.
GREAT DAMAGE TO BARGEs.

CHARLEsTowN, Va, Oct. 31.-This
morning at about three o'clock the
Kanawha river began rising very rap,
idly, and with the rise about fifty
barges loaded with coal owned by va
rious collieries above the city were
swept away, A large feet of loaded
barges lying along the bank Of the
river here shared the same fate.
About half a million bushels of coal
are lost. Many of the barges lie at
the sottom of the river. 1t is difficult
to ascertain the actual losses, as q
number of places up the river among
the GOLFERS have not been heard
from. The destruction of property is
near $100, 600. The river is IL feet
above low water mark and is rising at
the rate of one foot an hour.
