DURHAM RECORDER.
&c HACKNEY, Proprietor.
Gave Himself Up.

News was received here Saturday night
from Roxboro which was a surprise to
some, but not to all.
The news in question was that the
board of directors of the Roxboro bank,
which was supposed to have been bur-
glarized last Sunday, in examining the
books of the cashier, Mr., William Jones,
discovered gross irregularities.
Mr.. Jones was called upon to explain
and he replied that he would in few
minutes, Jones then sought out the
town marshal and asked him to lock
him up stating that he was short in his
accounts. The officer had no authority
TO arrest him and he next sought the
jailer and made the same request. The
jailer being of more amiable DISPOSE
ton than tie aforesaid marshall, acco
modated the gentleman.
The news spread rapidly and it was
soon known all over the village that the
cashier was a defaulter.
Jones disclaims all knowledge of iht
bank robbery of week ago, but TIN
people do not give this part of his state
ment much credence.
Jones is short in his accounts, includ.
ing the bank robbery, about 5000, but
it is said he has enough property to
make the most of the amount good ant
the loss to the bank will be compare.
lively small.

New Doctrine.
Asheyille Citizen.

Judge Jones charged the grand
jury of Buncombe criminal court
that 1T was not gambling in the
eyes of the law to bet on games
that are decided by the skill of
the players, and that to bet on a
game of baseball was not a mis-
demeanor." Isn't this new and
strange doctrine? Doesn't the
man who bets on a game of cards
bet on the skill of the player-his
own skill if he plays for a stake?

The plans for the new depot submitted
by Mr.. Brown to the public, before the
commissioners even had chance to look
at them. are too much out of proportion
and too uugainly in many details to ever
find place in the creating of a State
building.
The architects are having lot of fun at
Mr. Browns expense. So are the people
who are acquainted with the affairs of
the water front. Engineer Howard G..
Holmes of the State Board of Harbor
Commissioners is preparing the plans for
tie approaches to the new de pot and has
used A. Page Browns building as a sort
of handle to the East-street bridge, but
Mr.. Holmes picture shows such radical
changes that Mr.. Browns ideas are
entirely lost sight Of The A. Page
Brown shot-tower, which critics say
makes the new depot lock like ferry
boat without a walking beam, has been
cut down about one-half, and the great
proper, under the guidance of an artists
pen. has been made to look like some
thing that would not be a disgrace t. the
gateway Of the city.
But genuine surprise is in store for
Mr.. Brown. He has, OF course, OF seen
the exquisite work Of f. Y. du Mund of
New York. whose stately production,
the tower of the Madison-square Garden
Of his city. won the admiration of all New
Workers.
A. Page Browns tower is, barring few
minor details. almost facsimile of the
great Du Mund's work. When a local
architect made this discovery he almost
lost his breath. He thought at first that
the Gothamite had stolen Mr. Browns
ideas. ''How shamefulw he calculated.

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
A Musicale Given by the State
Association.
ReeitatiOnS and Music That We're Ap.
plauded by an interested
Audience Social.

An entertainment. followed by social.
was given yesterday evening at % OFar-
rell street under the auspices of the State
Suffrage Association. A large audience
had shown its sympathy with the cause by
being present, and every number was
heartily applauded.
The ladies mad decided that nothing of a
political nature should be introduced, and
there were only the orange-coored badges
of Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Binn, the presi-
dent, and those worn by the other ladies
to show that the entertainment was given
by suffragists at all. At the conclusion Of
the musical and literary programme the
floor was cleared for dancing, and there
was no lack of partners, for the male elp-
ment was largely represented In the audi
ence.
Holbrook Blnn opened the entertain
Eent by reciting Conflicts of Christmas
Eve" In clear and Impressive manner.
The tragic selection so pleased Mr.. Blinn's
hearers that they demanded an encore,
and he responded with a selection from
the Bah Ballads. the one about the nauti-
cal gentleman who had eaten the whole
of ships crew and found them lying
heavy on his conscience.
The reciter who won the most applause
was Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Binn. She

Being greeted with quite an ovation at
its conclusion. Mrs. BiinD came forw ard
again and recited the woes of a lady whose
husband insisted on joining every society
in sight The sketch was called "The
Jiner," and was so humorously given that
the audience wanted to hear 1t again.
Mrs. BlinD, however, firmly resisted
another encore.
The instrumentalists were Mrs. L..
Brasbear and Mr.. Lloyd. Mrs. Brashear
played a pianoforte solo, Fairy Fingers"
prettily, and as an encore gave a Spanish
dance. Mr.. Lloyd's cornet solo was one
of the best parts of the entertainment. As
every one knew, however. that he had only
escaped from a Deighboring tneater to
oblige his hearers. an encore was not in
sisted on.
The rest of the music consisted of vocal
selections. Miss Ruth White sang Tosti's
"CouId ~; Miss Reuth sang and recited
twice; Mrs. Farr and Mrs. Cook sang
Memberships vocal duet. II Would That

Adams song, "In Old Normandle." A
performer who was much appauded was
little Miss Lnella Bates. who recited very
gracefully.
The following telegram was received by
Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn from Mrs.
Flora Kim ball, president of the San Diego
W0man's Suffrage Society: THE WOman's

Temperance Union and thousands more

BADLY CRUSHED ARM.
Bravery of Albert Winston Under
IRVING Circumstances.

Albert Winston, young man working
in Plum's upholsteriBg establishment, cor
nor of Market and Ninth streets. met with
an accident yesterday afternoon by which
he sustained compound, comminuted
fracture of the left arm. while operating a
hair-uicking machine.
The boy states that he slipped on some
oil that was on the floor, and trying to
save himself his sleeve was caught by the
teeth of the machine, and he was drawn
under in such manner as to stop the ma
chine. He was in such position that he
could not be eXtricated until bar of wood
four inches square was sawed through,
and also an inch and a quarter iron bar.
While saving through these obstacles.
which lasted twenty-five minutes, Win
ston was perfectly cocl and collected. and
gave directions 10 those who were trying
TO get him out how TO work.
The machine was run by only one horse
power, which accounts for the life of the
young man being saved.
When extricated the unfortunate was
conveyed TO the Receiving Hospital and
his wounds dressed.
The doctors think his arm will knit all
right.
