CASHIERS BIT OF ACTING
Frank H. Sparks COncocts Lurid
Story Of Assault and Robbery.
BUMPS HIS HEADON THE FLOOR
In Order to Cover Up His Own Tracks as a
Dcfaultcr lie Claims to Have
Been Robbed by Bold
|. Thieves.


Cincinnati, O., Jan. 3.-After three
hours of the shrewdest kind of detec-
tive work, Chief of Police Deitch and
Frank Fl. Sparks to confess that he
was a thief and that his previous SEN
sational statements were lies.
Sparks Is an assistant cashier of the
postofllce money order department. At
1.3O o'clock this afternoon he was found
lying on the marble floor of his Office,
seemingly in an unconscious condition
by Janitor John Weihe. Sparks was
lying on his face with his head in the
direction of the door and NVeihe turned
him over and asked what was the mat
ter. II have been robbed" he ex-
claimed as he pointed to the cash
drawer.
He was lifted to seat, after which
Inspector Soloman was notified. Sparks
had two contusions on the forehead ard
as he sat with pale face, frequently
resting his hand upon the bruised
head, he told a sensational story. He
said he was alone in the Office when
two men entered. One of them asked
for change for s. bill. He told them
to go outside the railing and they could
get the money, but the fellows grap-
pied with him. One of them struck
him in the forehead and knocked him
to the floor in an unconscious condi-
ton. They then stole all the cash In
the drawer-$S6s.
Sparks was escorted to police head
| quarters, where he adhered to his story,
but as witnesses were from time to
time brought in who contradicted him,
he began to get worried. Detectives
confronted him with proof that he had
been living a fast life unknown to his
wife.
| After o'clock he was startled by the
| question from Detective White: How
much are you short in your accounts"
Sparks equivocated for time and
then said: well, / expect it will al
most reach $780," and with a gasp sanl
back in his chair. Sparks confessed
secreting the money in the office.
The confusion on his head was pro
duced by his falling purposely on the
floor at full length and humping his
head to bring blood. Over $500 was
found where he had secreted it, and ht
was locked up.

LOCOMOTIVE BUILDING.
The Business Iias Declined at Trcmen.
dous Rate During the Past Two or Thrco

uOtlS Natc Duiiit shS fash ANo vi i"SS
Years.
By the United Press.
New York. Jan. 3.-The following rec
ord of locomotive and car building for
the past year is taken from the Rail
road Gazette: Reports from thirteen
companies make the total of sos locom-
olives for 1894, against 2,01l locomo-
tives built in 1898. Three companies
building nearly ninety locomotives in
1898 did not turn out a single new To-
comotive in 1894 More than eighty To-
comotives of the total number built in
1894 were built for export.
The record of the car builders Is even
worse than that of the locomotive
builders. In 1894 only twenty-seven
companies have reported as having
built any freight cars, the output being
1909 cars. IN 1885, 51,2l6 freight cars
were built by thirteen companies. There
were fifteen important car building
companies which did not turn out u
single car in 1894 AS to passenger
cars the returns show that $40 cars
were built by eight companies, against
1880 built in 1898 by fourteen compa-
MES In 1892 over $4,000 freight cars
were built by eighteen companies In the
United States; in 1881. the figures were
over $4,000 cars by fifty companies, and
In 1890 over 100000 cars were built. A
decrease in output of $4,000 cars in one
year and of over $4,000 cars in five
years, tells its own story.
The 1894 demand was doubtless les
sened by the fact that considerable
equipment was built in anticipation of
the great business of the Worlds fair
year which turned out to be so disap-
pointing.

Shelby by this time was livid with

THE BLUEFIELDS AFFAIR.

Great Britain Surrcndcrs All Claims to
the Protection of the Territory and Rec.
Ognizcs the Government OF Nicaraugua
BY the United Press.
Washington, Jan. 3.-The president
today sent to the senate a full report
or the Bluefieids affair, comprising all
the correspondence relating to the sub
ject which has passed in the last two
years, making a formidable document
or over 600 pages. 1t shows that the
administration has succeeded in prac-
tically settling one of the most annoy
ing international questions that has
perplexed this government for about
fifty years.
The controversy resulted from the eff
forts of the United States to open a
shorter sea route to California at the
time the Pacific coast territory was ac-
quired. Following the treaty of 1916.
with new Granada (since Colombia),
which led to the construction of the
Panama railway, a treaty was con-
cluded by the United States with
Nicaragua in 1S49 for a canal from
Greytown by way of Lake Nicaragua
bIedl bIltdiil, however, maintained IL
protectorate over the east coast of
Nicaragua, claiming guardianship over
the Mosquito Indians and their terri
tory under q treaty with Spain, made
in 1856, and to neutralize this European
menace to the Atlantic entrance of the
canal, which was repugnant to the
Monroe doctrine, the Clayton -Bulwcr
treaty, which has since proved one of
the most irritating arrangements, was
ratified in 1850.
From that date until now'the United
Statea and Great Britain have not
ceased their contentious over the sta
tus of the Mosquito territory, but as
shown in the report by Secretary Gres-
ham covering the correspondence and
submitted today, the Mosquitoes have
finally been completely incorporated
under Nicaraguan sovereignty and
Great Britain has absolutely surren-
dered all claims to the protection of the
territory and recognized the Para
mount sovereignty of the government
of Nicaragua"

at stake was $61,750. The proceedings
We're begun by the Adams company in
March 1893 to restrain the auditor gen.
eral Of Pennsylvania from collecting
taxes upon its property for the years
mentioned. Judge Dallas, in the United
States circuit court, decided that the
company was not a corporation and
therefore not subject to taxation as
such, and this view the court of appeals
upholds.
The legislature in 1889 passed an en-
actment bringing the company within
the laws of taxation as a co-partner-
ship.
