IS IT CUMMINGS?
A Statement that Jim Cummings is in Jail
at Chicago
WITH THREE OF Ills ACCONPLICES,

CHICAGO. December 25.-Two local
papers published this morning accounts OF
the arrest here yesterday of Jim Cummings,
who has long been generally believed to be
the leading perpetratc' Of the st. LOUIS
and San Francisco express robbery last
October, and two of his a~ccompliees. Ae-
cording to the ACCOUNT referred to, the men
were arrested in a aouse of i'll repute
and upwards of $50, Goblin money captured
with them. The men IRE said to have been
Swallowed for some time, on account OF
their lavish display ofImoney and a swag-
gering gait and appeartsn nee which warrant
ed the assumption thai they were railroad
brakemen.
The Iater-OcedR will kay tomorrow morn
ing that these account have no foundation
in fact except that three men were arrested
for a small offense, neither of whom was
Cummings, nor was he in any way con-
nected with the express robbery. Inc
finding of money is also denied. Local
authorities are extremely reticent.
LATER-Up to a late hour information
from detective sources was of a decidedly
meagre nature. but conveyed the impress
! sion that the officers believed themselves to
have CAPTURED the train robbers. The trio
are still in close custody here, and papers
publishing the reports Of the arrest main
tain stoutly that the statement gwen
Is SUBSTANTIALLY CORRECT.
Their authority is stated by them to be
equivalent to direct information from
officers making the arreS st. Now 1t Is re-
ported from sources accountable for first
accounts that the amount of money cap
tured on the robbers is $1,000, nOtS2O,O OO,
as first stated. The latest assertions
concerning the case are TO the
effect that the men themselves were
not shadOwed-their whereabouts being
unknown-but a notorious woman, who
was intimate with the suspect Cummings,
was traced here from st. Louis and has Tor
about ~ days been kept under constant
espionage in this city. The plan was re-
warded by the appearance of Cummings
and his comrades. The man Cummings,
said to be
NOT THE NOTED DESPERATE
bearing that name, but another whose
career has arrested less attention. All the
arts known to detectives were III use
throughout the night, and during Christ
mas morning and afternoon to force one or
another of tn. three men to reveal their
secrets. Tonight it is confidently asserted
in some quarters that from one OF the rob,
bers have at last been extOrted n partial
confession.

Christmas Teddy in Atlanta.

ATLANTA, December 25.-One train
yesterday brought 500 full whisky jugs
into this dry city. The scene during the
whole ofthe past week at the express office
has been a strange one. On Monday 200
Jugs were received and passed out with a
steady increase each day since until to-day
there is a perfect deluge of them. 1t seems
as if every man in the city has resolved to
have his Christmas tOddy.
Last evening many men were to be
found OH the streets under the influence OF
liquor. Men who otherwise would only
take one drink are in possession of a gallon
Jug which they feel it to be their duty to
empty. There is more whisky in the pri-
yate houses OF Atlanta tonight than was
ever known before.

nor shall any claim of property by any
third person to such goods and ehattels, Sc

against such levy so made by the Treas.
urer, and no property of any kind, of any

to pay the amount, penalty, interest and
costs due under the provisions of the act,
shall be exempt from said levy. The
Treasurer shall give notice of the time and
sale of the personal property to be sold
under this act, the same as in cases of the
sale of personal property IN execution; and
all provisions of law applicable to sales Of
personal estate in execution shall be appli.
cable to sales under this act, except as here,
in otherwise provided; and all moneys col
lected by him under this act shall be paid,
after deducting his fees and costs, into the
County Treasury. In the event of the
Treasurer, under the levy provided for
under this act, being unable to make the
amount due Hereunder, or any part there,
of, the County Auditor shall place the
amount due and upaid on the tax dupli-
cate against the real estate in which said
traffic is carried Oh, and the same shall be
collected as other taxes and assessments
on said premises"
twill, therefore, be seen that the County
Treasurer is the Lord High ExecutiOner in
all the delinquent cases, and there is no
doubt whatever that he will at once eXer-
else his rights.
There are some twenty-five hundred
saloon keepers listed ON the tax duplicate,
and less than two thousand so far have paid
the tax. Then these must be at least be-
tween five hundred and six hundred OF
those who have been listed who are either
out of business or have failed to pay their
tax. Mr.. Rattermann, it appears, will
have abundant opportunities OF distrain-
ing.
But another important point: Evidence
is accumulating that about seven TO eight
hundred saloon keepers in the county have
not listed at all. They need not hatter
themselves thas they will escape the pro-
visions of the law.
1t is the duty of County Auditor Raine
to send 10 the Revenue Collectors Office to
get al accurat list of all the salOOn-keep-
ers and liquor dealers in Hamilton
county. Comparing this list with
the names on the tax dupli-
cate, it will be readily ascertained how
many and who have not been listed.
These will have to be cited to appear be-
fore the County Auditor, and if they dis
obey the summons their names will at
once be placed on the tax duplicate, and
then come within the jurisdiction of the
County Treasurer.

THE DEAF MUTE MYSTERY.
The Body of Lizzie burlington Found
How She Was MuI deTed,

CHARLOTTE, n. c., December 24.-A
special TO the Chronicle, from Raleigh, says:
This afternoon, to the great surprise OF all
the searcherS, the body of Miss Lizzie B..
Burlington, the deaf mute teacher, who
disappeared several days ago and was sup
posed To have been murdered by her lover,
Walter Bingham-alsO a deaf mute teacher
was found in sight of Carey, nine miles
from this city and over three miles this
side of MorriSyille. The body was regu-
larly laid out by her murderer, Walter
Bingham, in a piece of woods between the
Raleigh and Augusta and the North Caro-
lima Railroads and in 100 yards OF the
road from Raleigh to Morrisville. \ ne
gro found it, its presence being revealed
by buzzardS. Bells were rung and hun
dreds OF scarchers poured into Carey. y
special train with 100 searchers had gone
ND from Raleigh this morning. These
were all searching near MOrriSyille. There
were marks of a struggle ut the point OF
the murder.
Miss TurlingtOn'S hat and satchel were
found OIL one side of the little road; on the
other side Of the road was I pool OF blood,
and down. the hill, in 4 ravine, scventy-hve
wards further on, her body lay rs nearly
disposed rs if by an undertaken. Her
hands were placed across her breast, buz-
yards had eaten out her eyes and tongue.
There was a deep stab under the right ear,
and on the side of the head was a bullet
hole leaving a portion of the brain visible.
Beside her lay her mutI. On her hands
we're four rings, one of which was her en-
gagement ring, given her by Bingham.
The scene was utterly horrible. The head
WAS nearly that of a skeleton. She wore
q navy blue dress, black cloak, trimmed
with black fur, and her mutf of the same
fur lay beside her, attached to her cloak by
q red cord.
The story of Bingham's horrible crime
was revealed to the imagination. He had
driven TO Morrisville with the girl and had
zone to the left of that place by a road
which led him into the HillsbOrO road. He
followed the latter road back until it took
him within 400 yards of the place OF muir
der. Then he had driven up an obscure
road to the scene of the crime and had pull
ed the girl out of the buggy. She tried
to escape aud he shot her, and then drag
ped her body to the place where it lay. At
forwards he had driven to MorrlSyllle by
the road along which he had first gone
with her and SO on to Durham.
Nothing has been heard OF the murderer
since he was reported rs having been IN
New York.

DOW TAN.
The County Treasurer Will Distrain at
Once Upon D~elinquents.

The County Treasurer VIII Distrain at
Once Upon Delinquents.
CINCINNATI, December 25.-Only about
$500 of the Dow tax were received yester-
day from d~elinquents. Ithas not yet been
calculated how much the total receipts will
he, but they will not fall short Of of $780,
900.
Yesterday the County Treasurer sent to
the County Solicitor, Rufus b. Smith, for
a legal form of distrain upon those who are
continuing in business without paying their
tax. According to the text of the Dow
law the delinquent cases cannot be turned
over to the magistrates, but the County
Treasurer must distrain at once, and can
do so by his sworn deputies. A sworn
deputy will 90 the premises and demand
payment, and upon its refusal the prop
erty in that saloon will be Immediately
c~onfScated and sold to make good the
amount of the tax and penalty.
In order to make clear all the points on
this subject, Section 4 of the Dow law Is
herewith presented in full.
That if any person, corporation or CO
partnership shall refuse or neglect to pay
the amount que from them under the pro-
visions of this act within the time therein
specified, the County Treasurer shall there
upon forthwith make said amount due
with all penalties thereon, and four per
cent. collection fees and costs, by distress
and sale, as an execution, Of any goods
and ehattels of such person, corporation or
co-partnership; he shall call n once
at the place of business of
each person, corporation or cO-partner-
ship: and in case of the refusal to pay the
amount due he shall levy on the goods and
chattels of such person, corporation or Co
partnership, wherever found IN said eoun-
ty, or on the bar, fixtures or furniture,
liquors, ieasehold and other goods and
chattels used in carrying on such bust
ness, which levy shall take precedence OF
any and all liens, mortgages, c~Onyeyances
or membranes hereafter taken or

A WELLS GROWING.
A Remarkable Increase of Pressure In
the C-annonsburg Field.

A Remarkable Increase of Pressure IN
the Cannonsburg Field.
PTTTsBURG, December 25.-The officials
OF the Pennsylvania Natural Gas Company
have been notified by their employees at the
wells in the CannOnsburg field that the
Hodgens well, which showed a pressure OF
800 pounds a minute in September, was
tested again one day this week and gagged
over 400 pounds, thus having increased
nearly double. in three months.
This is considered very remarkable by
gas experts and the increase would be at
tributed to an accident or mistake, but
from the fact that the Houston we'll, To-
Gated near the Hodgens well, gagged only
225 pounds in September, and 375 pounds
when the test was made this week. The
officials of the company say they cannot
account for the phenomenal change unless
the sand became loOsened, or the well was
completely blown out SO that there was no
obstruction to the flow of gas. They say
that the wells have certainly not been
agitated in the least by the tools and that
there could have been NJ mistake in the
guaging at either time.
The members Of the company take great
pleasure in relating these discoveries to
their friends in the East who have been
continually crying out that the natural gas.
over which the people of this city boast so
much has either given out or is Just at the
vanishing point.
1t is claimed also, that the increase in
the wells has not been sudden and spas
modic, but that it was noticed a month
Q though it was not supposed to be so
great as was proved by actual measure
meut.
Other gas experts who were spoken to of
the matter said they could not account for
it, and that if no mistake had been made
it was surely a wonderful reversal of past
experience regarding gas wells. Owners
of big wells have frequently been heard to
say that they believed the gassers were
getting stronger every day instead of weak
ening, but this was only from casual obSer-
walton, though a test would probably have
given results similar to those in the cases
of the CanOnsburg wells.
