The marked currency was found on Betheas
person, and the stud was being worn in his
scarf in full view, and the formality of
identifying the piece Of jeweIry follow in
the line Of the inspectors detective work.
Bethea said when be was searched that he
had borrowed the bill from a friend in
Charleston, but after ward he said that he
was 50 much embarrassed that he hardly
knew what he was saying. He gave much
clearer statement yesterday at the exami-

assisting Driscoll, at the latter's request, in
handling the mails, in the distribution Of

the stud and dollar bill. He says the pack

Appreciation OF Suburban Lands-New
Purchases.

1t is generally known among the well
informed in such matters that there has
been very decided advance in suburban
lands. Syndicates formed for the purpose
of purchasing and subdividing are as nu-
merous as leaves in autumn. Large sums
have been and are being realized by this
manner of operating, and the man, whether
ne be proprietor or clerk, who is not in one
or more syndicates, is very much behind the
times.
Twenty acres on the White Bluff road,
just south of Dittmersville, is said to have
been sold in the last few days at five hun
dred dollars per acre, which is equal to
about forty dollars per lot, with proper
allowance for streets.
Operators are watching with interest the
sale of the piece just west of the above land.
This has been plated, and will be sold as a
whole at the court house next Tuesday. 1t
will be sold as a whole, and not retailed by
che lot
This affords fine chance for the forma-
ton of syndicate, as only small cash
payment will be required.

STANLEY'S COMPLAINT.

He Blamss England for Not Taking All
Aggressive Position Against Germany.
LONDON, May 1S.-Mr. Henry NJ.
Stanley is giving way to an exhibition
of ill-temper which discloses in his
character an element of egotism which
threatens to increase the number of his
enemies If allowed to remain uncurbed.
just now he is complaining of the
VowArdice of the public mon and the
press of England in not taking an ag
gressive position against Germany in
Africa at his behest, and is inclined to
belittle the intellectual qualities of
those who do not agree with him in the
matter of England's immediate DONNA
ton Of the lake and other desirable
portions of the interior.
He admits, however, that there is
plenty of room in Africa for both Ger
many and England, but thinks that an
English railroad should be constru ed
at once to connect the lakes and place
that region beyond the possibility of
occupation by other powers. Such a
railway, he asserts, would open the in
terror to trade, the value of which can
scarcely be estimated. He espresso 9
admiration for Major Wissmsnn, but is
disinolined to speak of Emin, or his
new expedition.
Throughout the interview in which
Mr.. Stanley expressed himself as above
he referred to himself as an English
man.
