Office ut Dallas, Tex, Steals $50, 900 and
AbscOnds.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-Yesterday L. A.
Fuller, superintendent of the Pacific
Express Company, was notified by the
Commercial Bank OF this city that a
package containing SS5,OOO in green
backs consigned to that bank by the
City National Bank, of Dallas, Tex, and
for which the Commercial Bank held
the receipt of the Pacific Express Com
pany, was missing.
February l the City National Bank Of
Dallas RENTED to the Commercial
National Bank of st, Louis the sum of
$4,000, of which $1,000 was gold in q
bag and $4,000 in bills enclosed in p
regular express package. The gold was
duly received two days ago and deliv-
cred to the bank, which reported to SUI
perintendent Fuller that the gold was
only part of the remittance from the
City National Bank and that the bank
held two receipts-one for $4,000 and
one for $4,000.
On receipt of this information Super
intendent Fuller telegraphed Assistant
Superintendent Aiken at Dallas notify
ing him of the shortage, and asking him
to investigate and forward information
as soon as possible.
Mr.. Aiken's reply that there was no
trace of the missing package there fully
confirmed Superintendent Fuller's fears,
and with it came the additional inform
alton that the money clerk of the Dallas
Office, young man named +. A. Wal
ton, had been missing since last Sunday
night
WRlton's flight led to the belief at
Dallas that he must be a defaulter, and
an investigation was at once instituted,
but without result, as the cash OF the
Dallas office was found to be intact.
When Assistant Superintendent Aiken
received Superintendent Fuller's mes
sage 1t opened up new avenue for in

of his shortage was unfolded. lie had

E. M. Tutwiler, superintendent of the
Sloss Iron and Steel Company's mines
at Coalburg, has, preserved in alcohol,
the largest black spider ever seen in
this section.
A few days ago Tutwiler heard a
great commotion among the chickens in
his yard. He went out to investigate,
and saw a small chicken being slowly
drawn into hole in the ground. Some
invisible reptile had caught the chicken
by one leg and was drawing it into the
hole in spite Of it's desperate struggles.
Tutwiler approached, and looking
down in the hole, discovered an i'm
mense black spider. He punched it
with a stick and compelled it to release
the chicken. He then dug the spider
out of it's den and placed it in a jar of
alcohol. 1t lived an hour after being
placed in the jar. When dead the
spider was taken out, weighed and
measured. 1t measured q inches
across the back and weighed nine
ounces. Its longest legs were a inches
in length and it's eyes were as large as
hotel clerks diamonds.

He Lost His Nose for an Hour.
From the Griffin (Ga.) News.


On Wednesday morning at the Kin
caid Manufacturing Company's mill,
near this city. Charlie Ballard, son of
Riley Ballard, had the misfortune to
have his nose entirely severed from his
face by a fast-running belt which had
slipped off from pulley, and the edge
striking him on the side of the nose,
cut entirely through. DR.. j. M. Kelley
was summoned to the wounded mans
relief as soon as possible, and he re-
sponded at once. When he reached the
place, which is about a mile out, and
had seen the injured man, he inquired
for the nose, which it seems no one in
the excitement caused by the accident
had thought Of A search was made for
the missing member, and it was found
in pile Of trash on the floor, where it
had fallen, was taken and washed in hot
water until it became warm and was put
back in place, the wound properly
dressed and when done hardly showed
that it had ever been severed from the
face, and is likely to get we'll. The
space of time between the accident and
that of placing back the severed mem
Der was about an hour.

She Had the whole Glass Arrested.
From Lowell Mass Despatth \.


Nearly all the Mongolians of this city
have been devout members of the fold
of the First Baptist Church of this city
for quite time. They have been bap
tised in the church, and whole Sunday
school class of pigtailed laundrymen
have been under the charge of Miss
Hattie Morris, who had about convinced
the other church members that she had
the whole crew converted.
The Cinnamon gave tom-tom concerts
before the church people, and told how
much better they felt for being Christ
ians, and how sorry they were for their
fellowC elestials who played fan-tan
and smoked opium On the way to
and from church they moved in body,
and advertised their Christianity for all
it was worth.
For quite while Miss Morris has been
suspicious of her yellow birds. She
noticed that they were surely corrupt
ing the rest of the Sunday school. In
her quiet way she did little detective
work, and the result was that last night
she put the police on to her Bible class
the members of which were playing a
nice quiet game of fan-tan and smoking
opium. One Chinaman jumped under a
bunk and yelled: "Me noe smokee
opium; me no see game; me like Nell
can man." He was pulled in with the
others, and in court the members of the
Bible class were heavily fined, while
Miss Morris stood by and aided the
prosecution. One unrepentant pigtail
said to Miss Morris as he was leaving
court: go, damn going to church any
way !" The lady nearly tainted at this
ending of her religious hopes.

The Skeleton Market.

There appears to be something wrong
with the human skeleton market. The
medical department of the army has
had contract with a New York firm
since 1887 for supplying $50 skeletons at
specified times The firm secured the
contract by bidding against three other
firms in this country, each proposing to
furnish the skeletons required for about
the same price, showing that rate, and
perhaps combine, existed, even IN SO
uncanny traffic The firm some months
ago requested and obtained an extern
sion of time in delivery of the skele-
tons. Now they have asked that the
price paid by the government be in
creased, basing the request on no more
definite ground than certain exigencies
of the skeleton market" The matter
was referred to the second comptroller,
and that official decides that the request
can not be granted; that the contractor
should not have the advantage over
competitors whose prices originally
were higher than the contract figure.
The firm have seventy-fve skeletons
remaining to be delivered

The Chief of the Signal Service, while
declaring that the New York Sergeant
was not authorized to predict the antici-
pated greater food on the lower Missis
sippi, admits that his statements were sub
stantially correct. He adds, in an ex.
tended and detailed report, that the serv-
ice anticipates higher water within the
next ten days upon the lower reaches of
the river than has yet been manifest, and
that the Bureau entertains grave fears
that unless the people prepare to remove
their stock to high ground there will
be immense loss, and that it is not improb-
able that the people will themselves be
compelled, in many large districts, to va
cate their homes and flee to places of
safety. The Signal Service so accurately
predicted the recent great rise in the river.
and the augmented waters descended the
stream so nearly to the day and hour fore
cast, that the present warning will create
great alarm along the Mississippi below

York predicts, the city of New Orleans
shall be so inundated that the dwellings
In the city will be overwhelmed, the prob
lem of removing the people to places of
safety will be one of the utmost difficulty.
The simple thought of the necessity for
removing the people from a city of 250,0OO
population is almost 2aralyzing by its
magnitude
