settled the differences existing between
himself, the road commissioners and tbs
Levy Court in very summary and salts
factory manner
IL will be remem bered that the Levy
Court at its last session refused to inter
fere between the receiver and the roat
com missioners until 1t received a writer
opinion from its attorney, e. g. Brad
ford as TO whether the Five Commits
sloaers law wiped out the old law gov
erning the payment Of road taxes anc
road orders.
Receiver Dickey did not wait for this
opinion. He adopted plan of his own
which, from the expression made. will
meet with general approval. This plar
is to have places OF deposit in different
parts OF the county for the several hun.
dreds, and place therein the road taxes
of the several hundreds, subject to the
order of the Road Commissioners.
When seen this morning by an EVEN.
ING JOURNAL reporter, he said:
Il have decided to deposit the money
collected for road taxes to the credit OF
the Road Commissioners in the following

FORGED sAYARD's NAME

Bayard SayIlls Imposes Upon the
Crsdulity of Senator James G. Fair.
An Associated Press despatch from
San Francisco, states that Bayard Ss-
Vile, stepson of Alexander SaVille, de-
ceased, of Wilmington and former law
student in the office of Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard, has been arrested in that city
on the charge Of obtaining money under
false pretsuses. His arrest was made at
the instigation of ex- Senator James @
Fair, who says that on July 10, Saville
presented 20 him q letter of introduction
purporting to be from ex- Secretary OF
State Bayard
He used this letter to induce Senator
Fair to endorse draft for $500 on the
Security, Trust and safe Deposit Com
psny OF this city. The draft was cashei
through the Nevada Bank of San Fran
cisco.
The letter was forgery as Mr. Bayard
says he knows nothing about the letter
of introduction SaVille told the author
titles, that be studied law with Mr. Bay
mission business, having houses in New
York and London. AS matter of fact
he left this city more than a decade ago
The long and short of it is that SaVille
is in $500 and Senator Fair is out $500
Treasurer James B. Clarkson of the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany, in an interview this morning,
said:
1T was a sight draft made by Bayard
@. Saville on this company for $500, and
was presented here when | was out. As
understand It, he went TO Senator Fair
and presented a letter Of Introduction
pulporting to be from Mr. Bayard On
tine strength OF this letter Senator Fair
endorsed the draft It was presented
here last week by the First National
Bank SaVille bad no account with us.
and Of course we refused to pay it, It

Nero Held for Trial.

Compared with the first hearing OF the
case of Frank Nero, charged with CON
mitting a murderous assault on Franciso
Petrocio the second trial to-day was .
very tame affair. On Tuesday Petrocic
practically convulsed the court with
laughter, but to-day the testimony OF
witnesses, given through Officer DeMare,
was so dull that everybody in court was
bored The trial was marked toward
the finish with lively legal spat be
tween Messrs. Hayes and Curtis, Hayes
contending that the offense was only
assault aad battery. Judge Ball did not
agree with him. and Nero was held in
$500 bail Nero is not the man who
fddled while Rome burned.

Edward Herrick shot and wounded
William ]. Jackson at the Pullman Palace
Car Works alb u 5 o'clock this mornin :.
From the circumstances which surround
the shooting it is probable that it wss
either an accidental affair or the act of a
man suffering from mental Sd boera ion,
Herrick is employed at the works as
spec al officer and watchman In the night
time and Jackson is iremen. As special
officer Herrick is allowed to carry q pis-

examining the weapon, which is q five

that he would fire it off He went out
side and fired off three shots Then he
returned to the room where Jackson was

The bullet hit jackson op ythe left
breast just above the nipple. 1t struck
rib, was detected in downward direc
tion and cames out just below the nipple
tearing the flesh and infiicting a very
ugly wound
Herrick then expressed great sorrow
at what had happened and alleged that

The wounded man was taken to his
home, No 924 Kirkwood street, where he
was attended by Drs. Blocksom and
Pyle. They pronounced the wound severe
but not serious Herrick went to his
boarding house, Fourth street, and after
explaining matters came to the police
station and gave himself up. He was
locked up in a cell where an EVENING
JOURNAL reporter found him later ia the
day.
He displayed great reticence, and posi-
lively refused to say anything about the
snoring or the facts connected with it.
His manner was not that of the man
VINO accidentally commits q wrong act
and is anxious to explain matters. Il
was more like that of a supercilious
crank who wants to surround his actions
with mystery. After vsinly endeavor-
ing to learn something the reporter had
to take his departure. The wounded
man was not so reticent. He had no
hesitation in saying that he believed the
shooting was done accidentally He also
said II will not prosecute him A pre-

RESUBBIIsSION.

The course OF the republican party in
the legislature on the prohibition ques-
ton, is the am old req rd, Of hypocrisy
and doubl-dealing thathas characterized
it for years. After endorsing prohibit
tianand placing prohibitoiylaw among
the statutes to please the prohibition
lists, they attemptto undo the work to
please the liquor men, and are now
swearing the resubmission bill was n
deal Of the independents.
The author Of the resubmission bill
VAS Sthnauber, a republican member
Of She house from Yankton county.
Twenty-eieht republican members Of the

house voted for it and only twenty indie
pendents. This counts Reece as a re-
publican. Since they bought and paid
for him they will probably not disown
him.
In the senate, Kittredge, IL republican.
from Minnehaha county, had charge OF
the bill and claimed he had secured
enough votes to pass it, but the sickness
Of two republicans, Clark and Schollield,
upset his plans. These Two senators
were lying i'll at the Moo.y headquar-
tiers at the Locke, and by q trick a res
olution was passed the house, permit
ting the senate to hold a session at the
Locke. This was supposed to be mere
ly a joke, but when it was learned it was
not a Joke, but a scheme to give these
sick republicans a chance to vote for re-
submission, the house under the lead OF
the Brown county independents, speedi-
~ rcconsidered the motion and resub-
mission was killed. On the final vote
in The senate, eighteen votes were cast
Tor the bill. OF these, nine were repub'
licans, seven democrats and only two
independents. Senator Kittredge asked
the clerk to record that ii Clark and
Scholiield were present they would vote
ave, and it was so recorded.
This is a portion OF the black recorc
Of the great temperance party on this
question. The only republican from
Brown county, Jones, voted for resub
mission, but not an independent from
this county voted for it. Indeed, boil
in the house and senate, the Brow
county independents were the sturd,
champions OF the home against the sa
loSn, and it is largely to them that TIL
final defeat OF the measures due. Moth
ing is more certain than if the republi
cans had elected ten members OF the leg
i~slature from this county instead OF on
resubmission would have carried.
And yet the Brown county republ
cans endorsed prohibition by resolution
in their county convention! The part
is II complete moral wreck.-Abcrdeel
Republican.
