captain JOHN MCCARTHY DEAD.
He Passes Away After an Illness of On
Nv One Week.

The city was panied and surprised last
Saturday morning to hear of the death
of Captain John Mccarthy, at his home
about two miles from the city.
Captain Mccarthy was robust and ac-
tive man, and his friends thought he had
many more years of usefulness before
him. He was attacked with pneumonia
just one week before his de,.th.
Captain Mccarthy was a native of Tiper-
AIRY county, Ireland, and became a citizen
of this country in early manhood, and
during the war between the states was a
brave and valiant Confederate soldier.
Captain Mccarthy was prominent
and prosperous farmer and a
staunch allianceman. He warmly
espoused its every cause and principle
and in him the order had true friend
and fearless defender of its creed. He
stood stood high in the counsels of the
alliance and had filled several response
BILE positions in it with much credit. At
the time of his death he was president of
the alliance warehouse and of the alliance
store in Dawson, and much of their sue
cess is due to him.
Captain Mccarthy was a Catholic in
belief, but in the absence of the Priest
Rev. w. II. Patterson, of the Baptist
church, officiated at the grave, and i'm
pressively spoke OF the dead.
A great many alliancemen were here
from all sections of the county to pay
this last sad tribute to their friend and
brother and at the close of there marks
of Rev. MI. Patterson they concluded the
ceremonies.
Capt Mccarthy married Miss Talbot, a
sister of Mr.. w. +. Talbot of this city,
and she is left alone in her sad bereave-
ment, there having been no children to
bless their union.
Saturday the store of MI Talbot, and
the alliance store and warehouse were
closed and draped in mourning for the
dead.
Truly a good citizen has been called to
his reward.

WHAT ABOUT THE WATERWORKS!
Mayor Cheatham Receives Letter
from G.. H. Bennett.
What about the waterworks,

What about the waterworks?
That is very interesting question in
Dawson at present.
The News believes that the city will
have a first-class system of waterworks
before great while, but at the same
time it is very decidedly of the opinion
that a contract will have to be made with
other parties before this very desired
enterprise will become certainty.
The Philadelphia parties who have the
, present contract with the city, have six
months yet in which to begin and COM
plete the system of waterworks, but the
mayor and the city council, and the pub
lie generally, have lost confidence in their
intentions to fulfill their contract with
the city.
Mayor Cheatham has received a letter
from c. II. Bennett, president of the
company that contracted to supply Daw-
son with water, saying that 'he exceed
ingly regrets the delay, that he had pos
lIlVe assurance long ago OF having the
works built at once, but financial difficult
ties arising prevented active operations;
but now he hopes to get down to bust
ness
Mr. Bennett then asks Mayor Cheat
ham long list of questions about the
number of people in the city who would
take water literally, and the number of
hotels and livery stables that would pat
ronize the works.
The people are anxious to know what
Mr.. Benefits intentions are. If he is 60
ing to give Dawson a water system, they
are anxious for him to begin work; if
heis not, they would like to know it so
that contract could be made with par
ties who will put in the works.

ROBERTSON'S QCEER STORY.
A MYTHICAL woRTHINGToN AND co9ys GE1
HIM INTO TROUBLE.


Edgerton Robertson, the young man representing
himself agent Of the Hartford Military Academy.
and who passed worthless checks upon D. Powers
d. Co., OF No. 4o9 Westinghouse. has given a novel
explanation OF how he obtained possession Of tho
Shoes purse and umbrella claimed by R. G.. Erwin,
guest at the ST. James Hotel. Robertson said yests@
day that he came from Chicago to NewYork on Decem-
ber 3 To solicit orders for patent mop.

A man representing himself Henry Worthingt0n

Worthngon then proposed to Robertson that they pool
their interests and go TO Boston to buy carpets and
furnishings for the Hartford Military Academy on
commission. On December 10 the two went 70

DevonshiIe Hotel. Acting under instructions from his
partner Robertson declares that he went TO d. Powers

chased bill Of goods. lie offered in payment two
checks signed by the Hartford Military Academy, aa
Institution which does not exist on "Wednesday morn
Ing Worthlngton Joined him at the Devonshirs Hotel
and the two mep went downtown together. Whsa
Worthngon left the train Robertson says that he found
In tho seat his partners umbrella and pocketbooz
which he took charge. RObertson's story OF Shoes
pocketb0Oks and umbrellas does not account for 10
mysterious Worthington. No man of that name vas
registered at the Astor House or any other leading
hotel. The police believe that Worthngton AID
Robertson are the same man. Among the otnef
articles found in RObertson's pockets two purses
bearing the name of J. f. Booge, some blank checa
on the Mechanics BanF Of ST. Louis and Chemical
National Bank of New York, deed to some Chicago
property and slip Of yellow PAPER on which was
written the combination OF a safe.

he knew Robertson two years ago, when the young
n clerk in the employ of the Palace Hosse
Car Company of Chicago OF which Mr. Harris was then
the second auditor Mr. Harris said that the sup Of
yellow paper bore the combination OF one of tns
Chicago company's safes.
