His Crime.
Peter 7. E. Smith. paving teller of the First
National Bank of Wilmington. Del, is a self
confessed embezzler to the amount of SIS, 900.
and he Is now in charge Of the United States
marshal ]. P. Winchester. who became presi-
dent Of the bank in November last, had been
trying for long time to have Smith make Q
balance sheet. but the teller kept postponing
the work. Last Saturday two other clerks were
directed to make the sheet. which they did on
Sunday, reporting the shortage on Monday
Last Friday Bank Examiner Stone called at the
bank and asked for balance sheet
Yesterday Smith, who had left the bank on
Saturday noon sick, sent for Mr.. Winchester
and confessed his crime. He then went and
delivered himself to the United States marshal.
There WAS every check put around the teller
but he kept at his peculations. He pleads that
the money was spent on his family. His
method was to take cancelled checks from the
safe, put them on a spindle through the old
cancellation holes and pocket the amount of
the check. tn" last payment not being charged
against the depositors.
The bank has a capital of $500. 900 and a
surplus OF Sl27 900. Smith being also bonded
for $4,000 in a security company. Bank Ex-
aminer Stone says the bank is solid and fully
able to pay depositors every cent, over half Of
the surplus remaining intact.
Smiths confession agrees with the result OBJ
tanned in making the balance sheet. He had
been taking money for fifteen years.

The funeral of Gen. Beauregard TODAY was one
of the largest and most imposing ever witnessed
in New Orleans. All the exchanges were closed

while business in the courts and other public

well-known soldier.
Among those who took part in the funeral
ceremonies were Gov. Foster ard other state
officers and members of the Raphael Semmes
Camp, Confederate Veterans, from Mobile. The
cor;ege moved from the city hall little after
o'clock for Mt. Airie cemetery.
The flag presented to Gen. Beauregard by
Mrs. Carey in Baltimore at the opening of the
war and which he donated to the Washington
artillery few years ago, was placed on the
coffin by that command.

and also that he had not given Miss Anna r.
Heating of Rochester a note for $4,000 Incl
dentally have come out the relations between
Col. Hayes and Miss Heating, who ack nowledses
that the colonel is the father of her three chill
dren, one Of whom is now living.
Mrs. Hayes, the colonel's wife. is a middle
aged woman. whose devotion to him has kept
her by his side throughout the trial, and who
has even condoned his infidelity because OF her
great love for him. Mrs. HAYES is childless.
and consented to adopt one of Miss Heating $
children as her own. The alleged note of 81 900
was in consideration Of Miss Keatings releasing
all claims to the child.
Col. HAYES has been something of political
worker, and also has been mixed up in several
escapades. notably one in which Loie Fuller,
the serpentine dancer. figured. The defense in
the Hayes trial was that Miss Heating stole the
note referred to and other valuables from Mrs.

GERMANS OUTwITTED.
They Had Been Plotting to Siege the
Hawaiian Islands.

Hawaiian Islands.
K. J. D. Kimberly Of Honolulu, claiming to
have a report for Queen Victoria on affairs in
Hawaii, tolda thrilling story in ST. Paul the other
afternoon to some Canadian friends. one Of
whom gave it to the reporter of a morning
paper.
He said both the Germans and the English
had been plotting for year or more past to
get possession Of the islands.
The Germans had all their plans laid and on
the day that the grand step was to be taken
about 100 Germans and natives were brought
TO Honolulu from the plantations of the Ger
mans by those who were in charge of the Ger
man interests. 1t was their intention to take
possession Of the islands ahead OF the Ameri-
cans, and their plans were carefully laid.
When the American volunteers were placed at
the police station as guards the Germans de-
cided to go and drive them away. There were
number OF Englishmen who sided with the
Germans in view Of the high handed proceed
ings" of the Americans.
10 show you how strong was the popular
sentiment against the Americans" continued
Mr.. Kimberly. 1.-The men were armed from the
German and English consulates.
They moved up to the palace at midnight in
solid body. They made demand for the sur
render of the Americans and when they refused
to comply they shot at them.
The Americans ran at them with their loaded
of the Germans were killed. The Americans
threatened to shoot them all if they continued
to interfere and the men discreetly retired
The Americans allowed them to carry away the
dead bodies of the men who had been shot
1--WE afterwsrd had a consultation over the
matter. but the German and English consuls
declined to take any further steps in the mat
ter.
'Of course England would uphold her dig
nifty, but none of the English had been killed
The Americans claimed five men had been killed
in street fight. and no Official report of the
matter was made"
Referring to John Bulls attitude Mr.. KIM
berly said:
''lou know that England has been making at
tempts to get possession of the islands for some
time. and would have succeeded had it not been
for the Americans.
That Is the reason the princess of the royal
blood was taken to England to be educated
She was under the protection of the crown. and
would have disposed Of the islands to her maj
esty the queen.
when England obtained possession of the
islands the plantations in the possession of
the American owners would be compelled to
give proper revenue to the crown. Other ar
engagements were to be provided for their
proper taxation and government"

GOOD ROADS IN VIRGINIA.

State Should Expend SIC, 1000 900

Editor jackson Of Richmond Thinks the
State Should Expend $4,000, 900.
The subject Of "How to Improve the Roads
We Have" was taken up at yesterdays session
of the farmers institute at Manassas, Va, by
Maj. W. NJ. King, who under Cleveland's ad-
ministration was one of the chiefs Of the De-
partment of Agriculture. He exhibited a
diagram illustrating his plan of roadmakng,
which included among many other details q
thorough undertaking with tile.
W. B. Dodge of Fairfax county followed with
an essay illustrating his views by several de-
scriptions Of successful and unsuccessful efforts
at road improvement. He opposed the plan of
filling holes in roads with stone, but said the
holes should be filled with dirt and the stone
broken up in small pieces and put over the sur
face. He favored the use of tile instead Of
small cross bridges.
MIR. j. +. Jackson, editor Of the Southern
Planter of Richmond, followed. criticising the
suggestions of the former speakers us patch
work, and advocating with great earnestness
ana at length what he admitted were radical
views. His plan. in brief, was for the national
government to loan its credit to counties. bv
means of which money could be raised on loans
due In seventy-five years. at 8 per cent or less
and thoroughly good macadamized road sys-
tenn established. He thought the state Of Vir-

which had lasted 1900 years. He brought out
startling array of statistics to prove that this
was the cheapest plan in the long run. and he
certainly captured some of the most practical
farmers Of the institute
He was followed by Col. A. S. Bnford presi-
dent OF the worlds fair commission of Virginia,
who stated that his life had been largely spent
In developing lines Of transportation. and he
spoke for some time on line similar to Mr..
Jackson's. but not indorsng his special plan
He then urged the farmers to insist on the
county authorities making appropriation to
enable the commission to give Virginia proper
representation at the Columbian exposition
He closed with a reference to his presence at
Manassas at the time of the first battle, thirty
two years before.
Mr.. Eben f. Mason, a farmer residing on the
original Mount Vernon estate while indorsing
Col Bufords appeal for the exposition, gave
him some mild hits from the standpoint of a
Union man during the war. Both of them
brought tears to the eyes of their auditors.
MIR. l.. o. Howard of the Department of Agri-
culture, closed the morning session with an
address on the corn weevil, which interested
the farmers very much.
