FURTHER investigation into the case of
Charles L. Walter of St. Johnsbury shows
a fourth forged note of $1,000 which is now
at the Lyndonville National Bank. T. c.
Fletcher endorsed this note in 1889, and it
was then discounted to run six months.
Walter has forged Colonel Fletcher's name
to this note every six months ever since.
This makes notes for $500 on which
Walter has forged Colonel Fletcher's sigma
ture. In addition to the forged paper,
Colonel Fletcher has endorsed Walters
paper to the amount of $4,000, which he
will have to pay. Walters Indebtedness is
now believed to be considerably over $780,
600. The general impression in St. Johns
bury is that the case against Walter will
never come to trial, but that his brother-in-
law, wealthy New Yorker, will take up
all the forged notes.

TONS OF GOLD.

Kansas City Turns Out to See it Handled.
TEN million dollars in gold in canvas bags
came into Kansas City last Friday on the
way from San Francisco to New York. The
money was guarded by ten United States
deputy marshals armed with Winchester
rifles. The gold is for the treasury in New
York city. The news of the arrival of so
much gold quickly spread at the Union
depot and attracted large crowd, which
watched with interest the task of trans
ferring the bags to a baggage car on the
Rock Island railway. The deputy marshals
stood around with their Winchesters in their
hands and watched each bag jealousy while
it was being placed in the baggage car.
Only seven of the guards accompanied the
gold on its way to Chicago, as the fear of
train robbers and wreckers dimnishes as
the West is left behind. The gold is in
$40 and $40 pieces, and it is estimated the
whole shipment weighs about twenty-five
tons Troy weight.

THEIR LIST EXCURSION,


road-One Excursion Train Crashed Into
Another - Fifteen Killed Misunder-
standing Between Switchman and En-
gineer the Cause.
AN appalling accident that cost the lives
of fifteen people occurred shortly after mid
night last Saturday, on the Long Island
railroad, at the village of Berlin, in the
town of Newton. The Long Island train
that left Manhattan Beach at eleven o'clock
was overtaken by the train that left Rock
away Beach fifteen minutes later. A fright
full rear collision followed in which the two
rear cars of the first train, which were
crowded with excursionists, were tele-
scoped. The scene was indescribably horri-
BILE The dead and wounded were massed
among wreckage, beside, upon and hey ond
the tracks. Everything was showered with
the blood of the dead and wounded, and the
cries of the latter rose high above the hiss
ing of steam and the calls Of the frantic
trainmen. AS fast as the wounded were
taken from the wreck they were carried to
the relief train and cared for. The Rock
away engine was complete wreck, and on
it were several impaled human beings, some
dead, and others being slowly roasted. A
Misunderstanding between a switchman
and the engineer of the Rockaway train was
the cause of the accident. The switchman
claims the switch was set for danger which
the engineer denies. A heavy fog pre-
vailed at the time.

His Little Ruse.

The tramp had tried half dozen
houses on the block for bite to eat and
with such poor success that he was al
most discouraged. One house was left.
and he concluded he would try it. The
kitchen door was opened by the mistress
of the mansion.
II beg your pardon, lady," he said with
a bow, "but can get something to eat
hereT"
II don't know whether you can or not"
she replied. you tramps bother me al
most to DEATH"
"Im sure, lady, don't wish to annoy
you," apologized the tramp, land only
came here because-because"-
Because whatp she asked.
because, lady, at the house next door
they set such fare before me that really l
could not eat, and when refused it the
lady of the house told me couldn't get
half as good anywhere else on the block
and drove me out"
The woman looked over the tramp a
minute.
"Did she say thatT she asked hotly.
"Well, you come in here and see" and as
the tramp went in he forgot what liar
he was.-Det,Oit Free Press.

In accordance with the terms of the
French ultimatum, and its acceptance by
Siam, the latter country has deposited two
and one-half millions francs worth of silver
dollars to the order of France, and the
French warship Alouette will carry half a
million francs worth of silver dollars from
Bangkok for deposit in the Bank of Indo-

not named in the ultmatum, it was never
theless intended to be included in the occu-
