Officer James Mulvehill yesterday after
noon arrested William Metz for attempting
to draw money due to James McGann at the
Office of Booth & Finn. McGann is en-
ployed on the pipe line contract of Booth &
Finn near Verona Yesterday Metz walked
into the firms Office in this city, and repre-
senting himself as McGann, asked for all
the money due him. He answered all the
questions put to him satisfactorily, and was
getting along very well until it happened TO
strike the bookkeeper that Metz's Teutonic
accent was hardly the correct thing for a
man whose name was McGann. When the
officer was called in, Metz acknowledged
that he had been lying, but said that Nc
Gam owed him some money and had au-
thorized him to get the money in the man
ner described. Metz was locked up.

Look at Home.

A paragraph which we yesterday copied
from the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette car
ried the implication that the southern peo-
pie who once owned slaves still owe the
negroes for their labor in that capacity.
The Republicans of Ohio would be- ex-
pected to be very kind and liberal TO these
poor negroes. But what says our Cincin-
natl contemporary In January Of last
year that paper reported Judge WILLIAM
NJ. Dickson, of Cincinnati, as saying
about the people Of Oxford what here fol-
lows:
"Seyenty-fiye of the leading citizens
have banded together 20 boycott these poor
negro children-not, mark you, TO protect
themselves against the vote. the rule OF
these negroes-but 10 deny them the OPP
portunity Of education. And yet
the people Of Oxford would vote TO enforce
negro rule In Louisiana"
Notice that Judge DICKSON shows that the
people Of Oxford had no such oyermaster-
ing reason for their conduct as the people
Of the South have for banding against the
negro organizations. He admits that he
knows (and our Cincinnati contemporary is
as well informed) that the southern people

Mr.. Dear Sir nave just seen, for the
first time, letter from Major Horace Lacy,
in which he states that General Lee had
spoken TO me in the highest terms of Gene

statement of Major Lacy, because some
time ago. a year or more perhaps, he asked
me if I had anv recollection Of such d con-

emphatically that had not. General Lee
never said anything of the sort TO me on
the occasion referred to or at any other
time. nor do believe that he ever enter
tanned the opinion attributed TO him.
General Lee may have made Major Lacy his
confidant. but ne certainly did not do me
that honor. am very respectfully yours,

made n suggestion to the city of Phlladel-
Dhia IN 1881 TO erect n tower on the Centen-

real birth in the Office OF the Ph9nlx
Bridge Company. PhUnixyllle, Pa, III 1874;
In July of that year that company had
complete drawings made for tower one
thousand feet high. II was proposed TO the
Centennial Committee and the city Of
PHILADELPHIA that each supply 100000,
making 81 600 600. and the tower would be
built on the Centennial grounds, and while
heinz on exhibit the receipts were 10 90 10
the Centennial and the tower aftcrward TO

A few DAYS before this crime was COM
mitted he had been reported 10 the Bishop
for irregularities, and upon learning this
made threats that he would Kill a member
of his congregation who he believed bad
reported him. He was watched by the
police very closely. Two days before the
crime was committed he wcntto Newberne
and remained there till the morning OF
SATURDAY. He arrived here late IN the at-
ternoon Of that day.
The prosecution will endeavor TO prove
that Miss Whitaker was at church deco
rating the altar for Sunday services and
that BOYLE decoyed her into his room by
sending her a message by Charles Young,
his colored servant, 20 the effect that he
had letter for her from some of her rela-
tives. She knew that he had been at New
herne aud she had many relatives IN that
section.
The prosecution will further endeavor to
show that BOYLE after getting the girl INTO
the room assaulted her, using great bru-
talities and threatening her life, and VIII
also Introduce evidence 10 show that rs
soon as she escaped she made her way
home as best she could and informed her

Isit legal for a railroad company TO sell
a ticket to q person and then refuse 10
check his baggage TO 60 on the same train
with him? T.
That depends. The baggage may be too
heavy to be checked without being paid
for; or it may reach the depot Cor checker
too late. And thore may be other reasons
for refusing to check baggage.
Nevertheless, the rule Of course IS that
railroad company which checks baggage
is bound to check it so that it may 60 on
the same tram with him for any passenger
who has purchased ticket.
