HE WAS SMOOTH.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 16,-Ten days
ago striking looking individual wear.
ing sack coat and silk hat and call
ing himself Eugene Dumaulin, reached
here from New Orleans He found his
way into the commercial association
| rooms, where he met Emil Kahn, an APP
parently very worthy man who came
here recently to engage in an immigra
ton business.
Dumaulin talked him into partner
ship, promising to furnish oil of the
money necessary, Kahn to furnish the
experience. Dumaulin made a display
of several thousand dollars in New York
exchange as an evidence Of his resources.
He claimed to belong to wealthy fam
lily in Detroit, Mich.
Kahn and Dumaulin opened business
in handsome office as the Alabama
Land and Immigration Bureau and Rail
road Advertising Agency.
Dumaulin deposited about $1,000 of
New York exchange at two banks. The
exchange, which was all issued by New
Orleans banks, was of various denomina-
tons and payable to different parties,
but endorsed over to Dumaulin. The
deposits were taken subject to collection.
Meanwhile the immigration firm had
advertised to buy 10000 acres of land
near Montgomery for the establishment
of colony of Poles, and the real estate
men were treating Dumaulin like n lord.
One of them identified him for $500
check on his account at the Farley bank.
The cashier of the Montgomery National
bank wired to New Orleans to know II
the drafts deposited with him, amount
ing to some $500, had been issued by
the banks there On which they were
drawn. The New Orleans banks replied
they had been and Dumaulin's check for
some 500, it is said, was cashed. The
next day the suspicious of the real es-
tate man who had identified him at the
Farley bank became aroused ana he
called on Dumaulin for show down.
The immigrant agent satisfied him in
some way, whether with the cash or not
is not known; at any rate the demand
appears to have frightened Dumaulin,
for he left on the first northbound train
with the light grip containing his avail
able assets and without calling for the
balance at the banks. The New Orleans
banks the next day wired, instructing the
banks here not to pay the drafts, but Du-
maulin had gone then, taking about
| 1000 of somebody's money. with him,
Dumanlin evidently worked New Orleans
| for many times that amount The checks
he deposited appear to have been bought
from the New Orleans banks by differ
ent merchants In New Orleans and mail
ed to Eastern business houses with
whom they had business dealings.
The police are working hard on the
rase. They believe Dumaulin has 9th.
,r pieces of exchange with him and VIII
be heard from elsewhere.

|. Malevinsky & Sons Will Have
Handsome Store

Beginning tomorrow, |. Malevinsky &
Sons will start clearing out sale, pre-
paratory to remodelling their store. They
intend reducing their immense stock in
every departments much as possible
before starting work remodelling. The
front of the building will be torn down
and a new one put in, with one big en-
trance and two of the largest show
windows in the city. The separating
wall will be removed half way back,
making the front half of the building in
one room. The upstairs will be thor
oughly overhauled and fitted up for dress
making, millinery and cloak depart
ments. A wide stairway will lead to
this room from the rear of the store.
Mr.. Malevinsky does not know just how
soon work will begin, but hopes within
the next six weeks. The amount of
goods sold at the clearing sale this week
will have much to do with the beginning
of work, as they must reduce stock be-
fore any work can be done. This firm
has been doing a tremendous big bust
ness for the past year, and their trade
having increased so that they are com
PEELED to enlarge their present facilities
for handling the volume of business.

THE AUSTIN NURSERY.
The Busiest Place in Austin These
Days.

A visit to the Austin nursery these DAYS
shows the busiest lot of people and brings
the most cheerful welcome to be found
in Austin. Although it is not three years
since Messrs. Ramsey & Son bought their
present location, they come to the front
this fall with the largest stock of fruit
trees in the State, and a magnificent lot
OF shade trees, evergreens, Towering
shrubs, roses, etc. 1t is a pleasant priv
ilege to be able to go and select fruit and
ornamental trees and know that each va
riety is adapted to our soil and climate.
They have lot of fine ever-blooming
roses, right out in the field blooming
luxuriantly, where you can select just
the variety that suits you and have it de-
llvered any day that you name.
For several weeks they have had a
force of 16 hands pruning and getting
ready to I'LL orders on short notice, and
from now until March or April any order
can be filled in a few minutes.
From small trade in Burnet county in
1915 their business has grown until it
now extends over nearly half the State
and orders are filed and filled by the thou
sands, many of which are for over n
thousand trees each and some for as
many as six thousand trees.
There are over sixty acres planted
closely in nursery stock, and plans are
made to increase each year, which is an
inevitable necessity, as prices are greatly
reduced in this years catalogue.
1t is said to be fact that almost every
man plants an orchard some time during
his life. Surely everyone ought to-so il
it has to be done you will think the time
has come to do it if you will go out and
look over the Austin nursery.
Watch the loads of bales and
boxes go down to the Avenue
for shipment and go out and see
how they are put up and become familiar
with one of the growing enterprises of
Austin. They have had telephone put
in for the convenience of their patrons.

ALL Is LOVELY.
The Presidents Brother Has Adjusted
Things in His Congregation.

WATERFOWL, n. Y, Nov 16.-The
troubles existing between the Rev. n
Cleveland and his congregation at
Chaumont. this county, have been adj
justed and mutual concessions made SO
that the congregation is apparently once
more united. A conference has been in
session at Chaumont for the past two
days and gave hearing to both factions
in the church as well as to Mr.. Cleve-
land. The origin of the opposition to the
pastor is claimed to have been partly po-
litical, the pastor being Democrat. The
that Mr.. Cleveland had done nothing
unbefiting his station and Mr.. Cleveland
in turn said he regretted any unaccepta-
BILE language into which he might have
fallen. With this withdrawal on Mr.
Cleveland's side, the congregation agreed
to cease all opposition.

BERLIN CABLE LETTER.

Berlin, Nov. 16.-(Copyright, 1879, by
the Associated Press.)-The crises in
Turkey is watched here with close atten-
ton, and remark uttered by Prince
Bismarck last week in conversation with
Count Won Kardoff, the German silver
champion, at FREDERICKSBURG to the eff
feet that Turkey is like a powder maya
zine whose explosion would send all Eu-
rome ablaze, is much commented upon.
The representative of the Associated
Press in this city had brief interview
on Thursday with two diplomats who
are stationed at Berlin. one representing
great power. The latter said it was
not likely that Il war or revolution in
Turkey would take place before next
spring. That much, he added, is taken
for granted by the powers. But it is
probable that events will become critical
in Turkey. Recent developments have
shown the sultan to be capable of almost
any coup d'etat, and something uneX-
pected and unforeseen may occur at any
time.
Continuing, the diplomat said: 1T
looks as though Russia, when the clash
comes, will be best prepared for the
emergency and will be winner in the
game"
At the coming session of the Prussian
diet the government will introduce a
bill modifying the restrictions in the ex-
listing laws governing associations. At
ter the mode of the Bavarian law, wo-
men and minors will henceforth be ex-
cluded from political meetings, and the
meaning of the word political meeting"
is to be enlarged and newly defined.
