Im our announcement column this

A. Gary Estes, of Brownsville, who
is II candidate for Judge Of this judi>
cial circuit. Mr.. Estes is known to
many of our citizens as the able and
impartial presiding officer of the
congressional convention which met
here in 1882, when he maze many
friends by his ur'ane and dignifed
department, his sound judgment and
ready grasp of all questions coming
up before the convention. He is a
lawyer of fine natural talent. COM

say that any decision of his had
wronged any one. We give in am

Senate TO the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill, non-concurring in nesrl y all
those Of importance. 1t recommends
concurrence in the clause relating to
silver certificates with an amendment
to read as follows:
"And the Secretary of the Treasury
is hereby authorized and required to
issue silver certificates in denominations
Of ore, two. and five dollars, and the
silver certificates herein authorized shall
be receivable, redeemable, and payable
in like manner and for like pur-
poses as provided for silver GER
tifca,es by the act Of February

ize the coinage Of the standard silver

change thereof, upon presentation by
the holders, and to that extent said GER

cancelled and destroyed"
The object Of the amendment to the

PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-Last
March William ?. Pierson, cashier and
chief book-keeper of the American Bap.
list Publication Society, was thrown
from q carriage and had his leg frac.
tured. Since then he has been confined
to bis home. During his enforced alb
sence it was discovered that he is a
defsulter to the extent Of 100000.
The secretary Of the Society has
sworn out a warrant charging Pierson
with stealing and embezzling that
amount Of the funds Of the Society.
The warrant for Pierson has been issued,
and be is now under police surveillance
at his home. The embezzled funds were
absorbed by speculation. Pierson has
been connected with the Society for over
twenty years. He entered its employ
as a boy, and was advanced from time
to time up to five years ago, when he
was appointed chief clerk and cashier
of the establishment. lie is about
thirty-five years of age is married and
has one child.
1t has been customary to make an ex-
animation of the books of the company
in the month Of May each year, and since
the position OF cashier has been held by
Pierson he has always assisted the ac-
countants in their work. Early in May
last, and while Pierson was at home
suffering from the effects Of his accident,
the managers, having had their suspi-
cions aroused by the falling off in bust
ness, determined to hold the annual
audit few weeks earlier than usual.
In the course of week after the exam.
nation of the books had been COM
menced by the accountants anumber OF
discrepancies were discovered, which
led to other revelations until the sum
total reached in the neighborhood OF
100000.
Magistrate Lennon, whe issued the
warrant for the arrest Of the cashier,
stated this afternoon that the trustees
informed him that Pierson had made
preparation to make restitution to the
Society by disposing of his furniture
and other effects and turning over the
proceeds to the concern. Later in the
day it was stated that the restitution
msde by Pierson would bring the
amount of the embezzlement down to
sbout 900. 900,

CHRrsTIANsBURG, VA, July d.
The Democratic County Convention
to elect delegates to the Congressional
District Convention, which meets In
Lynchburg August 25th, met here to-
day. The full number Of delegates
l4-was duly elected. While the dele
CATION was left uDinstructed, the pre-
ference is for Colonel Hoge. The fol-
loving resolution was introduced by
Mr.. George Z. Cassel and adopted by
the Convention
ResCired, That it is the sense Of this
Convention that j. II. Hoge, our gal.
liant young countyman, is the choice Of
the people Of this county for the nomi.
nee Of the Lynchburg Congressional
Convention.
1t was expressly stipulated that this
action should not bind any of the dele
gates.
Captain ". James Shelburne, from
the Local-Option Alliance, introduced a
paper asking the Convention to adopt a
resolution TO the effect that, whereas
this county was carried at the last cleo
ton by q majority Of $50 for local OPP
ton, only delegates in sympathy with
the temperance movement be elected by
the Convention 10 the District Conven-
ton, and that such delegates be instruct
ed TO cast their votes for candidate
for Congress who is also in sympathy
with this movement.
A committee Of FIVE was appointed
by the chairman, Captain j. X. John
son, to determine whether the Conven-
ton should consider this resolution.
Tie committee reported adversely,
thinking that it would be unwise to
trsmmel in any manner the actions OF
the delegates.
Captain John r. johnson, the chair
man Of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of the county, resigned his posi-
tion, assigning as reason that his duties
ss clerk of the Board Of Revisers Of the
Code would preclude his continuance in
the position.
Mr.. r. E. Sullivan was unanimously
elected to fill the vacancy. The Execu-
tive and Precinct Committees were then
elected, after which the Convention ad-
journed.
This was County-Court day, but as
politics consumed the attention Of the
seveTeigns, no business Of Importance
was transacted.

KIDNAPPING q WOMAN.
A strange scene IN the Suburbs or
YOukers Last Night.
New York Times. !


A woman's voice crying ooh,
please let me get out Of this carriage!
don't want to get into this carriage F"
startled Jacob B. Miller, . German
driver employed by Peene Brothers,
who run the Ben. Franklin Stage Lines
at Yopkers, last night. 1t was nearly
0 o'clock at night, and on his way to
the stables he was passing Kraft's
saloon, which lies down South Broad
way about half q mile from Yonkers
station, when be saw, be says, what
seemed to be the closing scenes Of .
stIuggle-two men violently pushing
woman into q closed carriage, and there
seemed to be other men in the carriage
who were trying 10 subdue her strug-
giles ard to hush her cries.
With the woman still screaming, the
door was slammed to and the carriage
made q turn into Post street, whirling
rapidly away. A bystander seems to
have beard one Of the men in the car
riage say: "You drive right down
straight and as fast as you can, or I'll
blow your brains out" Two ladies
were also standing near, and one Of
them says she heard man say Jim,
grab her by the throat and stop her
yellirg." As long as they could hear
the screams continued, and the course
of the carriage was direct for New
York.
Miller says that to the best Of his
judgment the woman was girl from
sixteen to eighteen years Of age. She
wore q light dress and Q large hat
trimmed with blue. The affair was
done so quickly that he had no oppor.
tunity to get glimpse Of the men. lie
was convinced that the affair was an
abduction, and when telling his story
to the T,mes's reporter last night hs
was highly excited and nervous. He
at once went to Kraft's saloon, aud
was told there that four men were enc
gagged in the outrage, but that none Of
the party had come into the saloon.
From there Miller went TO Gala
gher's Yonkers Hotel, and then Gal
lsgher and he met Captain Mangin,
of the Yonkers police. Word was ct
once sent to New York and interme-
date stations to look out for . coach
and party Of four or five, one Of whom
was girl in distress. The police, how
ever, were not disposed to believe the
story Of abduction. They were in
clined to think that a party bad come
up from New York and visited dis
reputable house in the neighborhood,
and that the girl had become intoxi-
Gated and refractory.
No missing girl was reported At po-
lice headquarters up to midnight, and
little credence is given to the story
along the streets Of the village.
