IMPRESS COMPANY RDBBED.
A Trusted Agent Pleads Guilty TO the
Crime.


Among the bills presented by the grand
jury Yesterday wSs one against Cyril p.
Benedict for embezzlirg s. ,i0S on De. 10,
1857, and s3 052 on Feb. ., 1898, from the
Adams Express Company in this city while
in their employ at the time as an agent.
When the indictment was read 1t Gre ted

which WAS crowded, owing to the ia I tnat
lhtre had been no knowledge OF any defil.
cation In that company, and IL there mad
/ o one among his acquaintances would
lave suspected BeLedict as the defiulfer.
The eccused is Il native OF Cunnec icut,
about so years OF age, has been a trusted
agent Of the Adams Express Company for
over twenty years, ard for some titnc past
has been In charge Of the treasury hrauch
OF that service. He was popular aud we'll
liked and when the news Of his arrest was
IlyeS ont many OF the oiucals "a ailse.II aails Treas
urv Department refused to believe It, From
the officers Of the company It was ic ,rned
that the accounts Of their treasury br inch
lad been wrong for some time aud quiet
Investigation was inaugurated ahont six
weeks ago. About month since Benedict
suddenly disappeared from the city and his
whereabouts were lost. In the meantime
the clerks Of the auditors office Of the
company, wi were Investigating the books,
found the discrepancies ls above, buG M
Ac'ion as taken, as the officers were Gu
1eavOiipg to hud Benedict.
Recently he returned to the city, walked
into the cflice, surrendered himself and
turned over all he owned to cover the
shortage. II is estimated that the value
! OF bis property thus given up is ah jut
$500 lie would give no reason for his
conduct, AID 1t remains unexplained one
of his frieDds suggetted to Il REPUBLICAN
representative yesterday that Benedlc. had
used the money to US ist friend 10 his
lusiness. None Of the funds taken were
the property Of The government, bnt be

noon yesterday Benedict was brought Into

facts which called for clemtncy. the facts
that he had Voluntarily given himself up
and made restitution as far as possible

the silver dollar. When any one, In tho
light Of those facts, said that anything was
sought to be done by indirection and
secrecy he did injustice to himself aud the
records.
As to the letter which he had written to
the Paris conference land to- which Mr..
Beck had referred) 1t had nothing whatever
to do with the silver question, but was on
the subject OF proposed international
gold coin, by which the 25 francs OF France,
The sovereign Of England, and the half
eaglo OF the United States would be made
OF exactly equal value. lie wished that
euch n coin could be agreed upon. He
hoped that the time would come when this
idea, go honorable TO all the nations that
we're represented in that conference, go
useful to mlnkind, would be finally adopted
by the common consenus OF the great
nations Of the world As to the payment
OF the interest OF United States bonds In
| coin (which Mr.. Beck had found 80 much
| fault With, he thanked God that that mad
| been legitlpted for. IL II had not been,
what the ssked) would have become OF that
pationa credltY without that strong
anchor Of coin interest the United States
bonds would have disappeared like the
confederate bo, ds-into thin air, "un
bonoied and unsung."
AS to the senator's talk about resump.
tion, who did not feel, he asked, that that
great work Of courage mot only OF Con-
| gress, but Of the departments and OF the
| people, was one OF tho proudest triumphs
| OF the nation? As to the silver question, he
! was not opposed to silver. He wished that
be could add 80 per cent, to the value OF
all the silver in the world and In the mines.
But silver would have to be maintaiuc1 at
the gold standard either by receiving them
and boarding them or by increasing the
weight Of the silver dollar. IL the silver
dollars now in the treasury were force1 into
circulation their credit would break down.
But he did not want to prec'pitate this sil'
yer question. He did not care to discuss IL
His views on the subject were known.
Whenever he could see bis way clear with
the general consent OF the people, with the
consent Of Colorado, Nevada, aud Califor
MAJ to take any step to deal with the slvel
question he was perfectly willing to do H.
He thought that the time might come when
all the silver product Of the country might
he Represented by coin certificates, but
then 1t would have to be bought AZ III
market value, not at an artificial value.
After all, what had his silver friends mad,
by their forced attempts to get silver int
circulation? Silver had gone down steadily
lie would like to see 1t advance in value
Congress and the nation were powerful u
many things; but they were not powerfu
enough to create values, These had to b'
fixed by the value making mercantile ma
'iors.
Mr.. Allison gave notice that he would
after the morning business to-day, ask tn

The explosion gave rise to great cloud
OF smoke, which covered the scene. When

where the building had been. The ground
for several acres around was s,rewn with the
fragments OF the building, the timbeTs Of
which were spliniered as flne as matches, and
with minute shfeds OF human flesh. About
200 pounds Of this flesh was picked
up, but there were only two pieces Of any
considerable size found. One was head

so Dutilated that II was unrecogniZ lble.

PLACING THE RESPONSIBILITY
For the Damages Done to the Prospect
Hin Cemetery.

A meeting Of the lot owners of the Pros
pect Hill Cemetery was held last evening
at Edel's Hall, and was largely attended.
President Fred, lmhOf called the assem-
blage to order, and Secretary Eckert read
the reports Of the board OF directors, sec.
retary, and treasurer, which were duly
approved.
Tie following resolutions, drafted by a
committee appointed for tnat purpose, were
read and adopted
ECSOirtd, That the meeting OF the lot holders
never formulated any fGSOllItiobS cundemna-
tory of Col. LnGiow especially, tut that they
weiC aimed nj the bcnr1 Of commissioners.
2. 1ha, Col. Ludlow, to say lnc cast Is not a

than the OF her commissioners,
3. That by this declaration we do not with
draw our .censuIe OF the commissioners. who
could not have altem' ted any such aggression,
even though the real board of directors had
granted permission, since the provisions Of the
charter expressly forbid 1t.
4. That the fact that so important docn-
ment as legal ipIuRctlon occupies six days
in reaching Col. Ludlow is poor testimony Tor
the state Of affairs In the commissioners
office.
.. That We advise newspaper correspond
enis. who wire resolutions abroad before
adopted by the meeting, TO be little less
'nreylous.' Not one newspaper out of town
contained the resolutions as adopted oy this
body.
6. That we express our sincere thanks u
President Cleveland for his kindly interest In
our ALTAR. II Is especially valued by us sincj
we Germans, as, In fact all the citizens OF the
District of Columbia, have no voice by which
we can reward or etnsufe The attention the
President paid to our int .rests speaks for the
fact that his is a spirit of justice, which under
all circumstances, even though there be no
prospect OF political reward remalnsunblased.
Guenther for his efforts, 10 Representative
Romes for his live interest, and to Mcssrs.
Lee. Atkinson, and Vance for their patient
and careful investigation of the case.
s. That we lack the language properly to eS.
press our condemnation OF the faithlessnesS Oi
ihe pseudo evangelical association for the de-
structiOn they have caused Whatever vAndal.
ism was committed, whatever injury has been
done to the feelings OF those most Interested,
whatever unpleaSantness has been caused
