LOST AND SPOILED MONEY.
The Bank of England Makes Big PROF

The Bank of England Makes Big Profit
on Her Notes.
I.nk notes OF the value of thousands
Of pounds are annually lost or destroyed
by accident In the 40 years between
1892 and 1892 there were outstanding
notes of tins Bank Of England, presumed
to have been either lost or destroyed,
amounting TO 81, $50, 900 odd, every
shilling of which was clear profit to the
bank.
In many instances, however, it is pos
Bible to recover the amount of the note
from the bank in full. Notice has to be
given to the bank of tho note supposed
to DO lost or stolen, together with a
small fee and a full narrative as to how
the loss occurred. The note is then
stopped" that is, if the document
should bo presented for payment, the
person stopping" the note is informed
when and to whom it is paid. If pre-
scnted, after having been stopped,
by any suspicious looking person. and
not through "a banker, one of the detect
| ives always in attendance at the bank
would be called to question the person
as to how and when the note came into
| his or her possession IL is quite mis-
taken idea that stopped payment" of a
bank note has the effect supposed by
very many people. It simply means that
the Bank of England carefully keeps q
lookout for the note which has boen
stopped, " and, though it cannot refuse
to pay such note Immediately ON its be-
ing presented, a notification would at
once be made to the person who stopped
it, and the bank would give all the as
sistance in its power to enable the loser
70 recover tho amount
In the case of bank note having
been, say, burned by mistake, IL the
number is known and notice sent to tho
Bank Of England it will pay the amount
after an interval of five years from the
date of lodging notice Of destruction
should no one have presented the note
for payment in the meantime. The bank
in such cases also insists on guarantees
being given by n banker or two house
holders that it shall ho repaid in the
event Of the document turning up and
being again rendered for payment 1t is
not at all an unusual circumstance foI
mutilated note 70 be presented foi
payment, burned perhaps half through,
with marks of burning on the fringes.
Nor is tho damage always accidental.
The men who indulge in the luxury o.
lighting their pipes with a bank not
arc not always, as some may think
millionaires or recognized lunatics o.
society. The spoiled notes are more offer
than not presented by workmen or la
borers, who confess without hesitation
that they have Intentionally lighte'
their pipes with them from mere brag

Special to the News and Observer.
HICKORY, n. O., Oct. "a
Something o a sensation was created
in town yesterday. Several years ago
Prof. Severi0 Dana. WAC, at that tima,
was instructor in music at CIaremont
College, married Miss May Murrill, of
this place, she being one of his pupils
The marriage did not prove happy and
the parties we're divorced Subsequent
ly the lady married Mr.. O. P Thomp-
son, of Washington city. The court had
awarded to the custody OF the wife her
children by her first marriage, hut she
voluntarily relinquished them to Prof
Dana. Last summer he placed his
youngest son, Hugh, aged 2 years, in
care of the boys grandmother, Mrs.
Alice Murrill, to be educated at Glare
mont College,
This morning Mrs. Thompson arrived
in Hickory by the yestibule, drove to
college aud secured the boy, telling the
teacher in charg4 that he was going to
take dinner at the MOTEL.
Mrs Murrill being advised of this
state of aft ,irs hast6ned to consult her
lawyers. But before anything could be
done Mrs. Thompson and Hugh had de-
parted for Newton by privaLe convey
ance. A warrant was sworn out against
Mrs Thompson before S. E. Killian, J.
P, charging her with assault and kid
mapping Chief of police Clement and
Sheriff Hover went to Newton by the
afternoon train, expecting to arrest her
at the depot, as she is thought to be
taking the child to Washington City.
Prof. Dana professor of music in the
Lexington Female College, Ky, has been
notified by telegraph and will probably
be here tomorrow.
Mr.. A. A. Shuford and family left to-
day for an extensive trip to Atlanta.
Mr.. Patrick Ransom and sister, Miss
Essie, VINO have been spending some
time; at the Hickory Inn, will return to
Northampton the latter part of the
week.
Mr. Alex. Hall has removed to the
Yadkin Valley where he will engage in

TEE LARGEST GDR@WlATWN AMY NQEM GA&Dl0NA DAILY
THE ARGUMENT HAS BEGUN.
The Assistant District Attorney Makes
the Opening Speech.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Oct. 24-Assist
ant District Attorney Piexotto to day
made the opening argument for the
prosecution in the Durrant trial.
When court convened Gen. Dickinson
asked that Miss Cunningham be recalled
but she was only asked few unimp0rt-
ant questions and then excused.
The remainder of the day was occupied
by Mr.. PieXottO. He discussed the evil
dence in the case from the time Durrant
accompanied Miss Lamont to school on
the morning of ApriI 3rd, until be ap
peared before Organist King in Emanuel
church, at 5 O'Clock in the afternoon,
pale, trembling and excited. He closed by
asking the jury to uphold the laws Of the
State by rendering a verdict of guilty
and fixing the penalty at death. During
Mr. PleXOtte's argument the court room
was crowded. Rev. George Gibson, of
Emanuel church and his secretary.
hObt. N. Lynch, occupied seats near the
jury box and paid close attention to the
speaker. Durrant sat stolld and indiffer-
ent in his usual place beside his attorneys
surrounded by his father, mother and a

no emotion or feeling even when accused
of murders that were compared with the
crimes Of Jack the Ripper in the White
Chapel District of London. His mother,
however, looked more thoughtful and
depressed than she bas at any time since
the trial began.
When MIR, Peixotte closet his
argument at $40 O'Clock. General
Dickinson for the defense asked for
a discontinuance until Monday, in order
that Attorney Duprey might make the
opening argument for the defense. He
produced a certificate from Mr.. Duprey's
physician to the effect that he was un-
able to appear in court at present, but
probably would be we'll enough to resume
his duties Monday.
District Attorney Barnes objected to
the delay, and as the court was opposed
to grantingsthe continuance, the motion
was denied.

age speed of So so miles an hour This
time includes stops. Exc usive of stops,
the run was made in 47O minutes and 10
seconds, an average speed Of 81 SO miles
an hour. The New York Central record
of September II was an average Of So 81
miles an hour, including stops, and 64.26
miles an hour exclusive of delays.
The train left Chicago this morning at
3:29 27 a. m , central time, and arrived
at Buffalo Greek at 1870 Four minutes
later the train came to a stop in the Cen
trail Station in Boffalo The train was
made up of three coaches, engine and
tender The coaches were two Wagner
drawing room cars, a smoker, DR..
Webb's private car, the combiRed weight
of which is 304, 500 pounds The weight
of the engine and tender was 1874, 900
pounds, making the total weight of the
train 488 500 pounds.
Different engines were used on each
of the divisions, and the run for the
divisions were:
Chicago to Elkhart, 81 mills in 81
minutes, 26 seconds
Elkhart to Tole 0, 1873 miles in 1874
m nutes, 35 seconds

tes, 16 seconds

utes or 63 % miles per hour.
The run from Chicago to Buffalo was
made for a practical object. 1t was
neither to beat the record of the English
roads nor to show what absolute speed
could be attained on the road bed, but
to ascertain at what rate commercially
paying train could be made to go safely.
