TO PRESERVE THEIR GOOD ROADS.

QUEENS COUNTY SUPERVISORS OBJECT TO MAR
ROW TIRES on HEAVY WAGONS
highways OF the eastern edge OF Kings County and
the fine macadam and earth roads OF
the western end OF Queens Is well known to riders
and drivers well to those who make bicycle
trips toward the Interior OF Long Island. but for
time the Supervisors OF Queens County have
felt that the farmers who come with heavily laden
wagons To the New-York and brooklyn markets
have not been doing their share toward keeping the
roads which the county has spent much
money In the condt on which would insure the proper
maintenance at a small expense. With the object
OF compelling cooperation with the county author-
ties by the farmers Supervisor william Everett. OF
Jamaica. prepared a resolution which adopted
at meeting OF the board last week
The law. which VIII 10 into effect October l.
next provides that all owners OF vegetable wagons
which viii weigh. when loaded. $500 pounds or
shall use tires not less than three inches In
width their wheels. The penalty for violation
Of the law Is fixed at $40 for the first offence and
second violation Is punishable by Imprisonment.
1t II understood that the Supervisors do not ex-
pect any serious difficulty in enforcing the new law
as they believe that the farmers will see the true
economy OF the proposition that the first expense
OF supplying the wider tires will be than saved

DepOsitors Made an Effort to Defeat tho
Scheme, but Were Too Late.
ENID, Ok, April 25.-A sensation was
created here Monday by the announce
ment that the Merchants bank of this
place had removed to North Enid, and
would not open up in the morning. A
rush was made for the bank, but it
was closed. A crowd congregated and
organized posse of about fifty men,
and made a race for North Enid to
catch the train before it went south.
When they arrived the train had gone
with the cashier, Charles Bright. The
failure is for about $4,000 and the
merchants are principally the losers.
The depositors made threats on the
president, Edward l.. Dunn, of Ell
Reno, but nothing has been done. /.
&. Conkling, of this PLACE, was ap-
pointed receiver early this morning,
and the affairs of the bank are now in
his hands.
Warrants were sworn out last night
against Charles Bright, cashier of the
looted Merchants bank. 1t is believed
that Bright is hiding in North Enid.
Ed l.. Dunn, president of the bank,
came up from Ell Reno last night, but
it is reported he will stay in North
Enid. There are rumors that warrants
will be issued against every official con-
nected with the bank.

NAILED TO CHURCH DOORS.

Remnants of Human Skin FIayed from tho
Backs of Transgressors.
There are many traditions handed
down that the doors of certain of our
oldest churches had been covered with
human skin hayed from the bodies of
transgressors who had been guilty of
the sin of sacrilege. Some years ago
Sir Harry Englefield first called the at
tention of the Society of Antiquaries to
the existence of such tradition re-
garding the churches of Hadstock and
Copford, in Essex; and Hon. Rich
ard Neville, in his antigua Explor-
ata," atfirmS the record preserved by
popular belief in those parishes.
1t appears that similar tradition
was held in Worcester in relation to
the great north doors of the cathedral
supposed to have been covered with
the skin of n person who had robbed
the high altar.
The skin, on examination by power
full microscope, proved to be human
skin. Portions of skin obtained from
the church doors at IIadstoclx and Cop
ford have also, on scientific examina-
ton, been shown to have been human.
Mention is made by Pepys, in his diary,
of visit, in 1G61. to Rochester cathe-
dral, to see the skins of the Danes, with
which the DOORS as it was then be-
lieved, were covered. London An

ODD FELLOWS SUSTAINED.
The De Boissiere Orphans Home In Full
Control of the Grand Lodge.

The De Boissiere Orphans Home In Full
Control of the Grand Lodge.
TOPEKA, April 24-Judge Hazen. of
the Shawnee county district court de-
cided the De Boissiere Orphans Home
case, in which was involved the right
of the grand lodge of Odd Fellows of
Kansas to accept as gift the De Bois-
siere farm of Franklin county and
maintain it as home for orphan chill
dren of members of the order. The de-
cision, which is very long, completely
sustains the grand lodge.
De Boissiere decided the property to
a board of trustees selected by himself,
on condition that the grand lodge con-
vert it into an orphans home. The
trustees took possession and at once
began to carry out the wishes of the
grantor. Afterwards the grand lodge
ratified the action of the trus-
tees, formally accepted the gift
and levied an assessment of
81 so per capita for the support of the
institution. A number of Hutchinson
Odd Fellows instituted an injunction
suit before Judge Hazen. The case
was argued some weeks ago and the
court held the case under advisement
until to-day.
The case has been watched with in
terest not only by the 35, 900 Odd Eel
lows OF Kansas, but by Odd Fellows
throughout the United States and Can
ada. Kansas Masons are also interested
in the case, as they are preparing to
establish similar institution.
