ADMITS HIS GUILT.
Charles Williams Entered the Club
House.
The Loss Made Good He will Not Be
Prosecuted.

The members OF the Rhode Island
Yacht Club and the residents of Paw
tuxet generally were Of the opinion that
chief of police John Bigbee of Crsnston
was insane when he accused Charles. Will
liams, son of Henry Williams. OF break
ing and entering the Rhode island Club
house last Friday night, for the Young
man is OF an excellsnt family and there
sre.n plausible reasons why he should
be accused. But circumstances were such
tnat Mr.. Bigbee could not do otherwise
than TO approhend Williams, for he was
the Hast person seen about the club house
that night and that from the descrip-
tion given by Mr.. Gordon who on the
following morning saw him leave Fort
avenne, was positive proof to the chief
that he was the man. MIR. Bigbee also
learned that among the money taken was
S13 In ten cent pieces. and II was found
that he came into Providence Saturday
forenoon and changed $40 OF the ten cent
pieces for a $40 bill. Then Mr.. Bigbee
ordered mis- men TO arrest young Williams
on sight. Owing TO the fact that the
prisoner is highly connected and as most
of the money was found In his possession
and the balance made good, the managers
of the Yacht Club have decided not to
prosecute, and he has promised eli that
he will lead . better life.

ASSIGNEE BRINGS SUIT.
CrOokdness alleged in a Deal of
the Irish-American Bank.

CrOOhQneS6 Al1eSSO Deal OF
the Irish-American Bank.
Frank Hubachek, as assignee Of the
Irish-American bank, has brought suit
in the district court against w. 5.
Hale, receiver Of the American Savings
and Loan association. The plaintiff
sets up in his cause of action that the
defendant company had ON deposit IN
the Irish-American bank S7S,740.32 Of
which $40,573.59 were evidenced by de-
mand certificates of deposit issued only
by the bank. The remainder was evil
denced by time certificates of deposit.
1t is alleged that by an agreement the
association was to use the bank as a
repository, the bank being DESTROYS if
retaining the deposit for six months
One Of the conditions Of the agreement
lateral security sufficient of it's bills re-
ceivable to secure the deposit. The
bank, so 1t is alleged, turned over to
the association certain notes whose
aggregate face value was S15S,000. AS
fast as the notes matured they were
to be delivered the bank and other
approved notes Of equal value should
be delivered to the association. When
ever the total deposits in the bank
should not exceed $4,000 the notes
were to be returned. :
The plaintiff claims that the instru-
ment Of agreement was never acknowl-
edged before an authorized officer or
filed in the city clerks Office, or any
other Office. The agreement was ac-
cepted Dec. 26, 1895, and on Dec. % the
bank was insolvent. 1t is alleged that
the association was fully alive to the
condition of the bank at that time, and
that the agreement was a. scheme to
make the association the preferred

MORTON GIVES GOOD REASONS
Why He Distributed So Many Seeds
In Nebraska.

WASHINGTON Feb. 10.-Being asked
as to the charge made in the senate
this afternoon by Senator Vest that
the secretary of agriculture had dis
tributed 100000 more packages in Ne
braska than that state was entitled
to last year, Secretary Morton repluied:
Under the law one-third of all the
seed purchased was to be distributed by
the secretary of agriculture. In accord
ance. with that. provision some years
ago when there was great suffering
along the sea islands of the Carolina
coast the secretary of agriculture,
through Clara Barton and the Red
Cross, gave great portion of the one
third of the seed which he was au-
thorized to distribute to the people
whose fields and gardens had been
ruined by the tidal wave. AS to that
very large distribution of seed to those
Southern sufferers, no complaint was
made. Therefore during the recent sea-
sons of extreme drought in the North
west the secretary Of agriculture frank
ly confesses that he gave far more
than the normal quantity Of seed to Ne
braska, Kansas and each Of the Da-
kotas and to Oklahoma The repre-
sentatives and senators from the states
named and the delegate from Oklaho-
ma will verify this statement. This
was a charitable and not a political
distribution.
1.-THE secretary challenges the sever
est scrutiny of his intentions and his
acts, and Is delighted with the char
acter Of the enemies he seems to be
propagating. But single members OF
the house and senate as the records
Of the department show, have distrib-
uted in a year several times as many
seeds in their respective states and
districts as they were entitled to. And
how and Of whom did those liberal
gentlemen get those great quantities or
seed?"

GRAND JURY AT WORK,
Two New Bills, the Result of the
First Grind.

The GRAND jury commenced opera
lions yesterday morning. The first
case brought before them was that Of
George Christie, charged with passing
check on the Washington bank,
signed Electric Supply company, that
was claimed to be ia forgery. The evil
dence was not sufficient to indict, and
a report Of mo bilp' was given in his
case. Sheriff Chapel had requested the
sheriff to hold Christie until he could
send q deputy for him, as he was
wanted in st. Paul for an alleged
charge Of larceny. He was taken to
st. Paul yesterday afternoon. The
case against James Harding and Carl
P. Ferris, charged with larceny, was
also dismissed by the grand jury in
report Of mo BILL
Other cases considered by the grand
jury yesterday afternoon were: August
Foss, two charges Of burglary; Archie
McKennon charged with horse steal
ing; Walter Cowgirl, for burglary; Cline,
Healey and Preston, for stealing cigars
from a wagon; Henry Williams, burg
larry; Gus Turner and Gus Swanson,
charged with burglary. The case
against Celia Helm, for forgery, also
came before the grand jury yesterday
and will be reported this morning.
So far as is now known there are
no cases Of special Importance to be
considered outside of the regular GRIM
inal list, excepting the case against
those parties implicated in the whisky
case, which in all probability will be
taken UP as soon as the Jail cases are
disposed Of.
