HIS BANK in THE CELLAR.
David Stout Reported to Have Been
Robbed of Many Thousands.

A startling discovery made nearly two
months ago (Oct. 29 has just come to light.
1t appears that an eccentric old man, David
Stout, residing on the Charlottesville pike,
two miles north Of Haughville, has been
boarding his wealth for years and planting
it in divers places under his house and in
his cellar. The money had gradually as
sumed large proportions, estimated by MT.
Stout to amount to eight or ten thousand
dollars. al in pure shining gold" to quote
the old man literally. This money has mys-
teriously~ disappeared, and the claim is made
that although detectives sworn to secrecy
nave been working on the robbery for
many moons. the money has not been re-
covered. 1t transpires that the old gentle
man. with his family, went on a visit to
his wife's relatives in the southern part OF
the State early last October, and remained
away for several weeks, intrusting the
keys to his house to a near neighbor. that
the premises might be gone over from day
TO day TO discover If anything mad gone
wrong in the absence of Mr.. Stout. On his
return he found everything in prime con-
dition, as he had left it, and had no thought
that his treasure re Oh bad 4 o rceg eion s nau p t;ma
after his return to make an addition OF q
limited number of golden coins to his al
ready comfortable pile. when, to his horror
and amazement," he found that his precious
SHINING sparklers had been stolen during
his ~sojourn from home. Although almost
overcome at the shock received when he
discovered his great loss, he cunningly con-
cealed his knowledge of the robbery from
his family, friends and the newspapers, and
quietly" went about with the AID or de-
tectiyes to discover the robbers. The search,
it appears, has not been attended with any
great degree of success, and the story has
nothing about the robbery, and no one can
be found here who has worked on the case.

The Board OF Safety, at its session yes

tendent Of police to have Humane officer
Orlopp report TO him every day for duty,
since the city attorney has decided that
Orlopp Is under the control and orders Of
the board. Mr.. Orlopp will probably find
his official position less of a sinecure here
after.
The board may order a new patrol wag-
on. The superintendent Of police asked
that either a new wagon be furnished or
the old ones be repaired. He was instruct
ed to secure bids both for the repairing of
the old wagons and for a new wagon. II

be a covered one. The superintendent and

ITS WORD HELD GOOD
The City, Through Its Council,
Keeps Faith with Harris & Go.
The Firms Proposition Accepted-New
Salary Ordinance Observation-Disclosures
of the Two Public Boards.

The proposition of n. W. Harris & Co,
OF Chicago, to refund the $l09,O 600 Of bonds
becoming due next month at 4 per cent. was
accepted by the Council last night by a
vote Of Is 10 Z. The finance committee sent
in a report which purported to be a minority
report, signed by Messrs. Rauh, Krauss and
Stott. AS this report had not been signed
by the requisite number, a motion was
made to reconsider the report which had
been received The report was afterwards
signed by the proper number. Then it was
before the Council. The ordinance which
had been drafted embodying the Harris
proposition was called for, and before its
engrossment Mr.. Ryan protested against fur
ther progress with the ordinance. He said
he had heard Of the firm Of Harris & Co..
before. and that it raised the cry of Doodle
when the Banfl proposition was before the
Council last spring He had heard. he said,
that the cry was started by Harris & Co.
to shut off the Banfil proposition Council
man Puryear moved to amend the ordinance
by accepting the Lamprecht proposition.
and a motion was promptly made TO table
the amendment. This was done by q vote
or fourteen to six. When the ordinance
was put upon its passage Mr.. Allen ex-
planned his vote against the ordinance by
stating that he did not see why the city
should throw away $1,000. Mr.. Costello said
he thought the Council exceeded it's author
ity in accepting the proposition, that it
had only the power to authorize the re-
funding of bonds. and the rest was with
the controller. The following is the vote
by which the ordinance was passed:

IN PLAIN ATTIRE.
Half the Night Force of the Police Work
i'm Citizens Clothing.

Police patrolled the city last night in citi-
zens' dress. The scheme is in the nature
of an innovation recently adopted by other
large cities. Pursuant TO an order from the
superintendent of police. one-half OF the
patrolmen and an equal proportion of the
sergeants appeared at roll call last night
In their citizens attire. The men were in
structed to discard their uniforms until
further orders from the superintendent.
The ununiformed men will run their
beats singly, and will be placed in those
sections OF the city where it is thought
their presence is most needed.
Recent robberies, footpad outrages and
insults offered to women without escorts
have prompted the new plan. II is also
expected that the officers without uniforms
will be able TO detect violations of the
liquor and gambling laws, besides accom-
plishing many things that would other
wise be found difficult. superintendent
Powell also announced that hereafter roll
call will occur at $50 o'clock in the even
ing. instead OF Z O'Clock, as has been the
custom for years. This order is issued for
the benefit and protection of shop girls
and others who leave their work at 6
o'clock and are compelled TO travel the
streets at an hour when the city is al
most wholly unprotected by police.

The Old Hoard, Side of IT..

Edward Hawkins, ex-president of the
Board Of Public Safety, yesterday threw a
side light upon the hay market contro-
versy by informing the present Board of
Public Safety of the reason for it's prede-
cessor having leased the grounds now occu-
pied by the hay market and contracted for
it's removal from the old stand. He said
the question as to which board had control
Of the hay market came up for discussion at
one of Mayor Sullivan'S cabinet meetings,
at which the Board of Public Works was
present. Al this meeting the Board of
Public Works agreed to the removal being
made by the Safety Board and delegated to
that board all the authority and power of
che Works Board. This delegation of power
by one board to another ne yer became pub
lie for the reason that none of Mayor Sui
livan's cabinet meetings were public, and
no record was kept of what transpired at
the meetings. In this particular instance II
might appear to be a strange coincidence
that the Board of Works should delegate
to- the Board of Safety power to act, and,
by reason of the power acquired by the
Board of Safety, Mr.. Catterson, one Of its
members, was enabled TO rent to the city
a piece Of property for which he had been
the agent.

MERIDIAN-STREET IMPROVEMENT.
Property Owners on Both Sides of
Washington Talk of 1t.

Several large property-owners on North
Meridian street, south of Seventh, nave
asked the Board Of Works to improve that
boulevard with asphalt In the spring, the
Improvement TO be made from New York
to Seventh street. The board will not or
der the improvement, however, until a
local sewer is put in the street from Second
to Seventh street. The residents along the
street have been connecting with the Penn
sylvania and Illinois-street sewers, and the
people who have paid for these sewers say
it is unfair for the Meridian-street people
to use these main sewers as they have
not contributed to their cost. The Penn
sylvania-street sewer is now we'll taxed
from the territory it was originally built
to drain.
1t is said an attempt has been made to
circulate a petition on North Meridian
street asking for a block pavement, but
IL is doubtful If the board will pass a res
olution for blocks, as the experiment with
blocks has been tried twice on that street,
and most of the property-owners now want
begin to consider. Immediately after the
first of the year, the Improvement OF South
Meridian street. Attempts to improve this
business thoroughfare have heretofore been
met by a division in opinion among prop
erty-owners as to the best material to be
used. 1t is believed the sentiment in favor

Improvement in the spring.

be given the right TO lay a main during
the winter months.
The water company was notified for the
second time TO clean out the gutter of

There was EVIDENCE at the Board of Health
office, yesterday, that thirty-six fathers will
be happy whether they get any Christmas
presents or not. Just that number of birth
returns were sent in yesterday. AS the
number of death returns were only sixteen,
the Offset promises we'll for the future
growth of the city. OF the deaths, three
were caused from grip and four by phthisis
pulmonalis. Superintendent Ferguson, of
the CITY Hospital. says that. although the
Russian malady is prevalent In the city, the
hospital has received no cases of 1t. At
this time last year there were a large num-
Der of grip cases at the hospital.
