MADE TO DISGoRGE-Charles \.
Bland, foreman of the basket factory at
New Alexandria, was arrested yester-
day at the instance of l.. n. Cox, for
merly agent of the Schuyler Electric
Company, who charged him with col
lecting 1910 which belonged to the
factory and refusing to deliver it up.
The case was called in the police court
this morning, and Cox stated that he
had been authorized by the company
lately operating the factory to collect
all moneys due and pay off the indebt-
edness of the firm at the rate OFFS cents
on the dollar; that Bland, whom the
company owed forty odd dollars for Ia
Dor, had signed the agreement, and
yesterday had sold one hundred bas-
kets, pocketed the proceeds and told
him Cox to charge the sum to his ac-
count To this procedure Cox AYERS
he entered an objection. Bland, in his
defence, said he had pocketed the
money with the consent of Cox, and
Mr.. Clark, one of the original proprie-
tors of the factory, corroborrted the
statement. Mayor Strauss decided that
inasmuch as Bland had signed the
agreement to take 25 cents on the dol
lar of the sum owed him by the COM
pany, he should have turned the money
into the general fund and awaited the
division with the other conditions, and
therefore directed him to turn the pro-
ceedS of the sale over to Cox.

HIS UNCLE FOUND HIM.-William
Fisher, pensioner who has figured in
cbapters of accidents recorded from
fine TO time in the GAZETTE, is again
the victim of misfortune, though not to
a further pensionable degree, as the ad-
djtional disability under which he now
Iabors. while the natural sequence of
his pension would hardly be rated as
the pathological sequence of his
wounds. 1t is learned that Fisher went
to Washington on Monday last, drew
his quarterly pension, amounting to
ninety dollars, obtained the money on
hi, check at the American House, in
that city, and returned to his home in
Vest End. Fairfax county, late in the
day. 4 stranger was awaiting his re-
turn and expressed much joy at seeing
him and represented that he was an
uncle of Fisher and Methodist minis
ter, whose home was in California,
where relative had recently died, be-
queathing to Fisher and his children
large sum of money, and that he
Ohe preacher had long been hunting
the legatees, and was now overIoyed at
finding them. He said it could be ar
ranged for Fisher and his children to
receive $500 each in cash and the bal
ance of the legacy Several thousand
dollars) could be invested in good Sc
curiti,s. 1t was arranged that Fish
Grand his 'uncle" should go TO Washing
ton the next day when the necessary
papers could be signed and the money
would be paid within ten days. After
delivering a lecture on the evils of in
temperance and uniting in family pray
err. the uncle" WAS made comfortable on
a pallet, and Fisher, after hanging his
clothes on chair, retired and was soon
dreaming of landed estates and Cali
!ornia mines galore. But "Oh what a
difference in the morning." for when
Fisher arose to take the early boat fol-
Washington he missed his clerical uncle
and presumed ne was out for a walk
which was true. But when Fisher
donned his pantaloons, his hands in
voluntarily sought the pockets where
his pension money had been deposited
and-lo ii had gone walking with his
"uncle, and is doubtless still moving on
as neither money nor uncle has since
been seen. The imposter had seen
Fisher get his money in Washington,
learned his place Of abode and his his
tory, preceded him to Alexandria and
was prepared for him on his arrival
