OUT A WIDE sWATH.
A Coal Solicitor Goes at the Pace
That Kills.


MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 5.-WilIiam
II. Courtney, city solicitor FOR the
Northwestern Fuel company, the local
Offices Of which are located in the
Plankinton block, is defaulter and
has been missing from the city since
last Wednesday. The exact amount of
his peculatiOnS is not known, but Man
ager William II. Simpson admits that it
will exceed $1,000. S. G. Russell, rep
resenting the general Offices OF the COM
pany in st. Paul, arrived here this
lLorning to go over Courtney's accounts
and learn how much he has stolen.
Courtney was one of the oldest and
most trusted employees nder Mr.. Simp-
son, he having gone into the office ten
years ago as clerk. His faithfulness
and strict application to business won
for him the confidence of the man
ager, and two years ago, when
there was chance for promotion, Mr..
Simpson made him city solicitor with a
salary of Sl,S00 year. This favor seemed
to swell the young mans head. for he
Immediately entered upon career that
was bound sooner OF later to end in his
ruin if kept up. Being quite society
swell, his laviShneSS made him more
popular than ever among the ladies and
gentlemen Of the city. Not satisfied
with spending his salary in the old
fashioned ways, he found pleasure in
fast horses and with women of shady
character. He had not been in his new
position three months before he COM
menced to take money that did not be-
long to him. Courtney's career up to
the date Of his disappearance was one
unbrOken round of extravaganza and
small thIeving. 1t was about a week
ago that Mr.. Simpson first got an ink
ling of COurtney's shortage. Courtney
had been in entire charge of the city
accounts up to that time, making all
collections and attending to all
deliveries of fuel. BY mere chance
Mr.. Simpson discovered that Courtney
had not reported all his collections,
and he asked the solicitor for an ex-
planation. THIS was last Tuesday.
Courtney promised to clear away all
doubts as to the correctness of his books
the next day, but he didn't. During
Tuesday night or Wednesday morning
he disappeared. Shortly before O'clock
tonight Deputy Lacy, of Milwaukee,
returned from Nashotah. Wis, having
him i'll charge. Courtney was lodged in
jail. He is about twenty-five years OLD
and unmarried.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

Gar Reed Receives the Nomina-
tion for Speaker.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The room of
the committee on judiciary was none
too large to hold the Republican mem
bers of congress who gathered there
tonight to nominate their candidates for
officers of the Fifty-third congress. Mr..
Henderson, of Illinois, presided, and
Mr.. Hooker, Of New York, acted as
secretary, and each was subsequently
reelected to the same position in the
caucus for the ensuing congress.
When it came to nominating the
ticket that is to be defeated Monday,
Gen. Henderson nominated eX-Speaker
Reed, saying that he would name man
whose record and whose hold on the
popular heart would make a more elo-
quent appeal than anything he might be
able to say. The nomination was made
by acclamatlOn. and, after prolonged
applause. Mr.. Reed responded in one of
his characteristic speeches, his sarcastic
draw having lost none of its pungency
during the summer recess. Four
months ago, he said, they had left con-
greSS and returned TO their homes with
the country in prosperous condition
All the mills were running, the Spindles
playing, furnaces roaring, labor en-
plOyed everywhere and the people hap
py. Now.he continued, we are called back
to find an extraordinary business de-
preston, distrnst in all circles, and a
general decentralization of the finances
of the country; condition, of course,
he said, precipitat1d by Democratic
failure to legiSlate. In this emergency
the Democrats call upon the Republic
ans to lay aside all partiSanship, forget
anything that has been done in the past,
and join with the Democrats to get them
out OF their present trouble.
There was no attempt on the part of
MIR. Reed to outline party policy, and
he concluded by saying the Republican
party would be found discharging its
duty in way to fit it with the broad
measure of Its past record when it was
In the majority, and, if it did this, it
could be asked to do no more.
The remainder of the ticket nOmina-
ted was as follows: Clerk, E. b. Nc
Pherson, Pennsylvania; sergeant-at-
arms, A. j. Holmes, Iowa; doorkeeper,
J l.. Hathaway, Montana; chaplain,
Rev. Horace Green, of New York, these
being, with the exception of the chap
lain, the officers of the Fifty-first con-
gresS.
a recommendation was also made to
the Democratic congress to retain upon
the rolls Capt. CurrIer, of Iowa; George
Jennison, of New York, and S. ii.
Decker, of OHIO, Republican messen-
gers; Albert Kennedy, Michigan. chief
OF pages; and John Chancey, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the Republican
whip" all of whom served in the last
congress.

The storm continued about an hour, and
hail and rain never fell harder IN the
