A Serious Charge.

Frank J. Meredith, grocer doing
business at Third and Jefferson streets,
has preferred serious charge against
one OF his clerks, which IL substantial
ed will give him considerable trouble.
The young man, who Is named James
II. Plerson, has been in MIR. Mere
dlth's employ FOR some time, and he
placed the most implicit confidence in
him. He was polite and attentive to
the customers and assisted him In
bullding up a lourIshing business.
MIR. Meredith owns some real estate,
and Is amply able to meet all his OBJ
legations consequently he was greatly
surprised short time ago to find tina i
business mon who had always been
anxious to sell him goods, appeared
to. think that he was no longer
desirable customer unless he paid
cash for all he bought. A short time
ago MIR. Meredith married a very es-
timable yonng lady, the daughter OF a
well known business man, and went
away ON brief bridal tour, leaving
the entire business In charge OF Pierson
Upon his return, he was more than
surprised at receiving notices from
iirm5 with whom he dealt for years.
requesting him to remit the amount Of
their bills Mt his earliest convenience,
as they were in need OF money. This
mystliled Mr.. Meredith. but he was
still more mystified when he ordered
some goods To be informed that to en-
sure them being sent, the cash must
accompany the order.
Mr.. Meredith then commenced an
investigation, and was surprised to
learn that while he placed 80 much
confidence in his clerk, he was doing
all he could to ruin his credit in order
to secure the business for himself.
Several of the firms with whom Mr..
Meredith dealt made sworn statements
TO the effect that they had received
letters from Pierson. which warned
them to be on the outlook, as Mr.. Mer-
edith was in bad financial condition,
and liable to have the sheriff come
down on him at any time.
As may be expected, Mr.. Meredith,
upon learning these facts, was worry
Indignant, and Immediately consulted
an attorney. Acting on his advice, a
capias was issued yesterday, and Pier
son arrested by Shoriff simmons. He
was held In 5000 bail to answer at
court for unlawfully and willfully in
1urlng the business OF his employer,

him in bad condition. He was con-
fined to his bed and the witness treat

in his back and lumber region, and

did not think he could be cured, but
the rain could be alleviated.

cross-examination by Mr.. Bird and
when he left the stand at o'clock

The Board of Health met last night.
and as soon ns organized Dir. Springer
moved that the election of asecretary
be postponed until such time as ail
opinion can be secured from the city
solicitor.
DIR. Shortlidge did not see the neces-
sity for any other postponements, and
moved that the Board proceed to the
election OF a secretary, which motion
was adopted.
Mr.. Van Trump WINS elected secretary

that he cannot have the records OF the

to tho Office this morning, and Mr.. Lee
did not get an opportunity TO carry

The Board OF Health, up to noon to
