ALBANY, July s.--Charles III. Burton,
secretary of the Burton q Corey Cider
and Vinegar company, left here os-
tensibly on business week ago, and
since then has not been seen. Friday
he sent letter from Philadelphia to
the company in which he stated that
he was $50, 900 short in his individual
accounts, but had touched none of the
companys money nor tampcred with
the books. An examination of the
books by experts was ut once made and
Burton's statement verified. 1t ap-
pears that Burton had been borrowing
from his personal friends for some
time, and that among other victims his
own father is loser to the extent of
over $4,000. The mysterious part of
the transaction and the flight is that
no one can imagine what Burton did
with his money. He was not fast in
any sense of the word. His family re-
lations were pleasant and he lived a
quiet and respectable life with which
no fault could be found. He was

Ingersoll's Mistake.

HELENA. Mont, July ll.-There was
an exciting scene in the supreme court
yesterday during arguments on APP
peals in the Davis will case. Colonel
Ingersoll was talking. and to prove that
the bias on the part of the people of
Butte was too great to allow fair
trial there, he quoted a telegram to
Lawyer Myers, of New York, one of
the appellants counsel, and signed w.
W. Dixon. Myers had asked by tcle-
gram from New York an extension OF
time TO procure afiidavits. The tele-
gram produced by Colonel lngersoll
was in reply to the request and re-
fused it.
"When counsel from Butte refuse
such acknowledgements" said Ingcr-
soil, chow can you look for fair trial
In that city?"
Congressman Dixon was upon his
feet in minute with an indignant de-
nial that he had signed any telegram
refusing an extension of time. lnger-
soil then apologized 1t is claimed
that Judge Mediation, of the Butte
court, himself signed the dispatch.
This fact Is expected to go IA great way
toward proving the impossibility OF
getting fair trial in Butte. Colonel
lngersoll closed his arguments in the
case and the ease is now before the
supreme court. A decision is looked
for in q week or So In the course OF
his argument, Ingersoll claimed the
ability to show that the alleged cut
ting off eastern heirs was a forgery
and offered to furnish the other proofs
of his assertion.

The PatrIarchaI Circle.

RICHMOND, Ind, July s.-The SUI
preme Temple of the Patriarchal Cir
Gle commenced It's annual meeting
here today with full attendance OF
delegates from the various districts.
One Of the most important subjects
which will be acted upon is the propo-
sition of organizing n non-uniformed
branch Of the order. This matter has
been discussed more or less for several
years and there is general opinion
that the time has arrived when a non
uniform branch should be brought
into existence. A committee was APP
pointed to take action in the matter ut
the session of the Supreme Temple
held In Chicago I'm 1889 and partial
report was presented to the body at the
session at Waulsesha last year At that
time it was instructed to report finally
at the present session. Should the
Supreme Temple decide upon non-
uniform branch, steps will be taken TO
perfect 1t and put it into working
order without delay.
