Old Suit ON Mail Contracts Argued
Before Judge Cole.
Judge Cole listened to argument this aft
ernoon IN the case OF william n. Starr, the
well-known herb doctor aud veteran OF
three wars, for an Injunction against Mar
sbal Albert A. Wilson restraining him from
leyying an execution on the conplalnanf's
property.
Mr.. Starr, IL company with George T.
Mason, went on the bond OF Collier C. Fray
Ser in 1879 to indemnify the Government
IN letting mail route contracts TO the latter.
Frayser subiet some OF the contracts-
Because OF the default OF some OF the sub
contractors the Government brought suit
against Frayser and his bondsmen In 1883.
Two years later, for some reason, Frayser
was dropped from the case and judgment
by default was entered against Starr and
Mason in 1888.
The judgment is said TO have laid idle
from 1889 to 1898 when 1t was discovered,
it is said, that DR.. Starr had property OF
his own. The property was thereupon at
tachsd and the marshal delivered tenn
porary deed of sale to the Government, the
only bidder. The petitioner asked that the
deed mentioned be declared null and void,
and that the marshal be restrained from
disposing of the property.
Attorneys Harry Davis and Herbert NJ
Locke represented DIR. Starr, and Messrs.
Birney and Arms represent the Govern
ment's side of the case

DOESN'T WANT TO TALK.
Chief Hazen Very Reticent In Regard
to Counferfeiters.

TO COunferfeiters.
New York, Aug s.-The atmosphere OF
mystery, which enveloped Chief Haxen, of
tie Secret Service, this morning extended
to bis subordinates in the office of the di-
vision in the postoffice building Chief
Hazen maintained a discreet silence and
his refusal to discuss certain features Of
the story connected with the arrest Of
she gang of counterfeiten In Jersey City
gives substance to the report that Ger
tain sensational developments may be
looked for very soon.
He would not discuss the important
allegation that government paper had been
discovered In the possession of the gang.
nor would he admit that Abbie Smith will
turn states evidence. or that she had given
the detectives much valuable iufOrma ton
concerning the inside workings and per-
sounel Of the gang, which ciews Secret
Service men were now following Chief
Hazeu has only succeeded In getting the
members OF the gang who were engaged
In making the counterfeit notes, and this
far he has not been able to lay hand upon
the powerful combination
This combination is composed of the per-
sons who had handled the bogus notes and
1t is essential that such persons should be
known as respectable, and possess some
commercial standing. Through the ad-
missions of Abbie Smith, 1t is known that
large amounts of the United States certifi-
Gates and Canadian notes were to be float
ed in England and continental countries
by members of the combination. The
strength OF the combine which backed the
gang was accurately measured when Chief
Hazen succeeded in having Abbie Smith
held In $50, 900 bail.

dozen small dealers have preceded them and
for half an hour of waiting the fun among
the little fellows runs fast and furious With

buy and treat and squabble and fight to

More peddlers' carts back in from one
direction and another till the street Is filled

pitching and struggling about among them,
make picturesque sight in all colors from
black to white and in all garbs from an

For two days it was srough-and-tunble,

whose chin barely reach ed to the counter
was showed to the wall by his stouter COM
petitors and nearly strangled. Kind
hearted Mr.. Oliver, in charge of the de-
livery department, just managed to rescue
him.
Similar occurrences, but without actual
danger, had been noticed a dozen times in
wild rush for thu. first papers, and it was
determined that order in delivery must
be insisted upon.
Accordingly on yesterday a stout rail-
ing was built from the door to the delivery
windows, and each boy, weak or strong,
now comes in due order, and is supplied
They get the papers just as quick, and no.
body is run down.
As the first big load of papers comes
up from the press room the little fellows
tremble with eagerness and delight.
Their pennies and dimes and quarters
rattle on the counters and Jungle in their
hands till each gets his bundle and flies to
the street. Load after load comes up from
the press room till all are supplied, some

sround. College gymnastics, stroke oaf
practice with a winning crew and life
in the field had given the lieutenant q
power not to be trifled with.
At this moment an infantry sergeant
and two men Of the provost guard, at
tracted by the screams Of the duena, ap-,
peared and took the demoralized wagon
master to the guardhouse. The Mexican
had unaccountably disappeared. The
lieutenant looked around for the two
women and saw that the convent gates
were open, while half dozen excited
nuns hurried through the entrance
beautiful girl whose mantle had fallen
away, disclosing the face Of Teresa Va
lencia. Next morning Raymer stood on
the plaza near the sundial. Before the
central entrance Of the governors palace
stood q large family ambulance with
four mules attached. Servants were busy
loading trunks, bags, hampers and
boxes upon the rack and roof in the
boot and inside pockets and beneath the
seats. When everything was slowed,
servant entered the house to announce
that the carriage was ready. Senior Va
lencia and his daughter appeared,
dressed for a journey and accompanied
by the governor and his household, who
took veritable Spanish leave Of their
guests, following them to the vehicle,
wishing them happy journey and fre-
quent returns and embracing them with
much show Of affection.
The driver cracked his whip and
shouted, the mules sprang into gallop,
and the ambulance whirled out Of the
plaza in q cloud of flying dust and
gravel. As the vehicle approached the
sundial Raymer looked eagerly at the
occupants but he caught no sign of rec
ognition from the object Of his thoughts.
As the last wheel passed the dial deli
cate hand was thrust beneath the cur
tains, and a small book fell near him.
The lieutenant picked it up and recog-
nized it to be the "Libro de Devociones"
which had been lent him at the oathe-
dral the previous Sunday.
fastening to the fort, Raymcr entered
his quarters, closed the dooy and stood
for several moments rapidly searching
