STOLE VALUABLE AUTOGRAPHS.
Two Young Men Arrested-Congres-
siOnnI Library Their Victim.


WASHINGTON, d. c.. February H.
Lewis Nick. Turner and Philip McEl-
hone, two young men arrested yesterday
by ecret-Service officers, charged with
the larceny of valuable autographed
tiers from the Congressional library,
were taken before United States Com
missioner Mills at 10 o'clock this morn
ing for a preliminary examination. At
its conclusion, McElhone was released
on 5000 bail, and Turner was committed
in default of bail in the same amount.
It has been ascertained that the rob-
berry was effected by means Of duplicate
keys. 1t has been In progress since last
August. 4 partial examination disclosed
over one hundred documents missing.
Among the most valuable Of these was
the diary of George Washington for 1851.
the year OF the constitutional convention,
as well as letters of Wsshington's. Bene-
diet Arnold's and John Hancocks. The
Washington diary is among the papers
recovered. 1t was shipped to a dealer
In New York, whose name is not diyulged,
a short time ag" by Turner. and had not
been paid for. 1t was shipped by the
United States Express Company, and the
receipt has been recovered. The value
placed upon It when shipped was $50
showing Turner'S idea of it's value. IT
was shipped minus cover. and this
cover was taken from one of the pockets
Of Turner's coat when he was arrested.
Librarian Sponord says il is hard TO
place a value on the document which is
a precious one. He also says that many
Of the things disposed OF were OF little
value. from a financial point OF view.
The room in which they We're kept was
one of the upper chambers OF the Library.
and the confusion incident 10 the
change Of quarters 10 the new building
is believed TO have facilitated the thefts.
McElhone and Turner were both clerks
IN the Library.
The discovery OF the abstraction OF
these documents has led TO an order for
a general inspection of the archives of
the Library. which is now in progress.

MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON II. II.
Its Sale Ordered, Conditfonaiiy-
Southern Likely to Purchase.

MEMPHIS. TENN, February u--tede-
raj Judge Lurton, in decree filed here to-
day. ordered the sale Of the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, unless the company
promptly liquldates a bond issue OF over
twenty-five millions, with interest from
July, 1898. The Farmers Loan ana trust
Company sought to foreclose, under what
was styled "the consolidated mortgage"
The purpose OF this bond issue was TO
retire two previous ones. but this has
been done only partially; hence some fine
legal points I'm the contention. There Is
likely to be an appeal. but the ultimate
sale Of the road. which is in the hands
OF receivers, Is generally conceded. and
when this occurs, the Southern IL regarded
az a certain purchaser. thus throwing tho
old East Tennessee Virginia and Georgia
system completely into that corporations
hands.
