The Trensury AeaIn Robp,d

WASHINGTON, Dec 6-Another irregu.
larity has been discovered in the Treasury
Department arising out of the mysterious
disappearance of ten sheets Of paper,
each containing four notes of the denomi
nation of IS, and representing 5000 In
all. These sheets were included in the
regular delivery from the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing to the q. s
Treasurer last Tuesday morning The
packages were counted and reported to
be correct In every particular before lsav
ing the bureau On reaching the Treas
urer's office they were again counted and
reported correct. The notes are all
completed with the exception OF being
stamped with the Treasury seal, and
when that is added they are ready for
issue. After the Packages In question
had been verified at the Treasurer's office
they were turned over TO the sealing diyi-
sion for completion They were counted
there and found to be short ten sheets
These were numbered in regular order
and were in the middle Of package
The officer in charge Of the division re-
fused to receipt for these sheets, and
word was sent to the bureau t.r an ex.
PLANTATION. Although two days have
passed NO trace whatever of the missing
shee.s has been discovered.
While 1t is possible that the sheets were
mislaidi and may be recovered, It is more
than probable they were distracted by
some one thoroughly familiar with the
method of handling them. The notes
Will readily pass current for money, foI
they lack only the Treasury seal to be
legal tender.

MEDIA, Dec 6.-The cases of George
Weaver, t. Q. Huntingdon and Crosby
Morton, the three members Of the Hanley
Hose Company Of Chester, charged with
arson in setting fire to five different build
ings In Chester, was resumed here to day
and is still on trial After the defense
had CT He'd Morton, one Of the defendants
to contradict John Lewis, the Common
wealth's main witness, IN regard to firing
certain buildings, they put several wit
ne ses on the stand to prove that Lewis
was wholly unreliable, one of them being
the fore man Of the jury, John Watts, a
colored man. Judge Clayton instructed
the jury that they were not to use any
knowledge possessed by a juror bearing
on the care, one way or the other, except
that given on the WitnCss stand.
Both Weaver and Huntingdon made
sweeping denials of the charges against
them, and their statements In regard to
being IN bed and at other places at the
time Lewis says they were applying the
mat h were supported by other witnesses
There are six indictments against Hunt
ingdon and Ave against Weaver, but as to
several OF the charges they have made q
complete alibl. There were Ave indict,
ments drawn against Morton, but after
the Commonwealth testimony was all
In the Court decided that II was only
necessary for him to answer two of them,
as there was not sufficient evidence to
connect him with the other three. Lewis
In his testimony said that Morton set fire
to TayloPs wheelwright shop on New
Years Eve, 1886, but half dozen wit
nesses were called to prove that Morton
attended a party the night OF the fire and
did not leave to go out until after mid
night. A night session of court was held
this evening to try and finish the case,
but 1t was not concluded. 1t will, how.
ever, reach the jury some time to.mor-

WAYNEsBURe, Dec. 6.-The dead body
Of Corporal Ellis Y. John was found In
Ten.mile Creek yesterday 1t was at first
thought he had committed suicide, but
investigation dlscloses the fact that he
was murdered. He was apparently
struck down by blunt instrument, which
crushed his skull, and sometime after
death, the body was thrown into the
creek. John was q prominent citizen
somewhat addicted to drink
After his disappearance last Saturday
evening, 1t became known that he had
been at the house Of George Mason, col
ored Mason had returned from distil-
lery with gallon Of whiskey the evening
before, and IL is understood they were
drinking. This is the last known OF John
alive. The physicians who conducted the
ppet-mortem examination on removing
the scalp from Johns head discovered
that a blow had been inflicted on the
right temple causing . fracture OF the
skull from which death resulted. There
was also the mark Of blow over the left
eye As tie body had been In the water
no dlseolOration was feen on the outside
OF the cuticle.. The victims right arm
was raised and the hand cllnched, indi-
eating that it had been lifted to ward off
a blow ss being struck down the man
died instantly; and the muscles not hav
ing relaxed the arm became rigid In the
