AUGUSTA, August 15.-Qwing to defects
and deceptions in the construction of the new
public building at Augusta. the government
at an early day will be obliged to expend
from $12, 900 to $4,000 In repairs. The con-
tract for the extension work is now being
placed. The material used inside was of in
ferior quality, so that in many places the
plaster was crumbled from between the
stones and this, the specifications for the re-
pairs require, must be dug out and through
out the substructure birthstone must be run
into the cracks, while the substructure viii
be repointed with imported cement. The cop
per flashing" above the cutters on the roofs
is about twofeet in width, ,and this is to be re-
moved and copper eight feet wide substituted.
This will necessitate the tearing up of mach
slate on the roof.
A serious leak occurred on the balcony and
it will be necessary to relay the stone. Under
another contract interior repairs are to be
carried out. The flooring of the building is
hard pine and the report of the inspector ad-
vises that hard wood floors be substituted,
as the heavy work of the newspaper mailing
room has done serious injury to the floor.

A Romance OF Crime Soon to End In

JERSEY CITY, N. j., August 16.-The man
arrested here August Is said to be the ac-
compllce of one of the most expert criminals
of his kind in the country, who is well con-
nected, and is heir to large fortune. The
police expect soon to run him down.
The accomplice, while waiting here for
money expected from forgery. telegraphed
to Plttsfeld, Mass. On the date mentioned
the chief of police here received dispatch
from the cashier Of the Pittsfeld National
Bank, asking him to look up the sender Of a
telegram purporting to be sent by John s.
Wolfe, a wealthy depositor CT the bank, and
asking for $50 to be sent without Identified
tiOn.
The man was arrested, and on his person
were found a number of checks drawn upon
the Mechanics Bank Of New Haven. Ct,
signed John s. Woods" The prisoner de-
clined to give his name or tell anything
about himself.
The first substantial clue was afforded by
we'll dressed resident Of Chicopee, Mass,
who visited Chief Murphy last night. was al
lowed to see the prisoner. and told the fol-
lowing story: about IS years ago
wealthy contractor and engineer was en-
gagged In erecting bridge across the Connec-
ticut river at Chicopee, Mass. His 19-year-
old SOD, who was with him as confidential
clerk and bo0kkeeper, betrayed his trust and
ned with large sum, the proceeds of sew
eral forgeries. The father failed to find him
and died two years later. was made exec
utor under the will with the widow. A
quarterly stipend was left to the son, but moth
ing further was to go to him until we became
satisfied of his reformation, when the bulk
of the estate will be his. We subsequently
heard from the boy as being an officer In the
English army.
"His letters ceased two years ago. We
heard nothing further until six weeks ago,
when his broken-hearted mother received
word that he was in Connecticut jail for
forgery. Without my knowledge she se-
cured lawyer. The victim Of the forgery
was paid $500, and the son was bailed. He
skipped away, but did not have the grace to
visit his mother. Then heard Of the Jer-
sey City case and came on. Your prisoner
Is not the man am interested in"
When shown the checks found on the pris-
oner the visitor identified them as being In
the handwriting of the prodigal son. The
visitor left after being assured that his name
would be withheld.
With this information Chief Murphy again
tackled the prisoner, who admitted the truth
of the story. The prisoner Is Charles l..
Stoddard of Chicopee, Mass, and Is the con-
federate of the mysterious forger. He gave
a clue that will aid the police to ferret out
the latter. In the meantime Stoddard will
be held for participation.
