UNSIGNED BANK NOTES.
Will s. Finck VictimiZeG by Two
Unknown Boy Gus

Will & Finck reported TO United States
Secret Service Agent Harris yesterday
that they had baen vic imized by two un-
known boys, who passed upon the firm
an unsigned Canadian bank note Of the
face value of $40. The boys purchased
ball for small sum and rendered the note
II payment. The cashier di counted the
note at 3 per cent, such being the custom,
and paid the boys he rem mainder.
When the note was presented to the
bank 1t was discovered that it was of the
Bank of Montreal, but unsigned, and
therefore worthless
1t appears that several years ago lot of
UNSIGNED bills were stolen from the Bank
OF Montreal, and since that time they
have made their appearances all over the
United States. A few years ago they were
circulated in San Luis Obispo.

years and for some years past there
has been no diplomatic intercourse
between the two countries. All
this is now happily settled by
agreement to settle the dispute over
the boundary line by arbitration,
and the two countries will at once
resume diplomatic relations. Sec
retary Oney is very proud of the
part he took-realIy the leading
part-in bringing about this treaty.
Arbitration seems to be in the
air these davs, even if the Senate
is mt in any hurry about ratifying
that Anglo American arbitration
treaty, which has been amended
and favorably reported by the com
mittee on Foreign Relations. The
latest advocates of arbitration are
the Carnegie and Bethlehem Steel
Companies, both Of which have
been charged by tho Secretary of
the Navy and others with wanting
to gouge Uncle Sam in the price
charged for armor plates for naval
vessels, They have proposed to
the Senate Naval committee that
the question of what would be a
fair price for them to receive for
armOr shall be submitted to arbie
tration. Secretary Herbert recon-
rnended $4OO ton as the price to
be paid, while Senator Chandler,
who was once Secretary of the
Navy, thinks $3.50 ton would be-
ample. The two companies claim
that the armor cannot be proitably
made for less than $3.50 ton, but
say they are willing to abide by the
decision of an arbitrator.

pedestrians. They were out at
Pierre and left there Saturday
morning OH the regular train ex
pecting to get through, The train
reached point within five miles
of HighmOre where snow drift
was encountered through which
the engine could not pass, and
there was nothing to be done but
wait the coming of a snow plow
from Huron, Both gentlemen
were anxious to get through and
they decided to cover the distance
on foot, At four o'clock Saturday
they started for Wolsey, distance
of 80 miles arriving there about
midnight SUNDAY. Mr.. Manson
said that for the entire distance the
railroad track was covered with
hard packed snow which made the

FEARFUL!
Accident at SO. Pittsburg.
Causes a Complete Standstill of
Business Enterprise.

Tom Thatch and Will Rankin,
baggage master and brake man re-
spectively of the Pikeville accom-
mediation brought in startling
news Tuesday evening. The en~
tire business traffic of South Pitts
burg came to a standstill that
morning. Nothing was done ex,
cept to devise plans to relieve the
awful situation. For two long
hours CONSERVATION reigned in that
prosperous city. So great was the
crises that if the accident had hap~
peued at night, the electric lights
would have gone out through symN
pathy. The Board of Alderman
were at their wits end for a solu,
tion of the difficulty, and the in
habitants looked ON helplessly at
the awfal wreck. 1t was fearful
episode in the history of the city,
and it will descend in the Annals
of time as one OF the darkest pages
of its history.
The cause of all the trouble was
this. One of the monster street
railway cars belonging to the Dept
ford Company ran off the track in
the heart of the city, hence this
weeping aud wailing and gnashmg
Of teeth.
A couple Of stout niggers put it
back on the track when offered 1Oc

AS the Southern Railway people
said that if they gained possession of
the road and Mckinley was elected,
they would build from Stevenson to

they, have got all they wanted, and
should now make good their promise.

The Box Supper.

This much heralded event came
off Saturday evening and was an
enjoyable affair, We should have
been present but the lean condi-
tiOn Of our pocket book warned us
that we would be of no service to
the promoters of the enterprise
We were curious to know lust
what box supper was, now we
know what the latest religious fad
is.
The plan commends us as being
more satisfactory than the proven
bal oyster supper with one oyster.

put into it sufficient food for two,
and put their names ir or on the

be added that they cooked it them

at auction and the one whose name
is in or on the box takes supper.
eats the contents with the fortun,
ate purchaser In some cases we
are told the rivalry to obtain the
company Of the lady stirs sharp
competition and the man who has
the biggest pile wins.
Mr.. w S. Pryor, the auctioneer,
after a selection by quartet, sold
the boxes, and the pairing off and
consumption of the contents took
place Ice cream being on hand
was sold and we hear was much
appreciated as being extra nice.
Then the second part of the en-.
tertainment was presented. Mr..
7. A. Butler sang a humorous song
which was encored. Then wac in
troduced member of Equus
Asinus minus his caudal appen~
dage, and the feat to perform was
to walk blindfolded to it and at.
tach temporary tail where ii
should be affixed, which caused
much fun.
Everything passed off pleasantly
and quietly, A few persons from
adjoining towns were present and
a sum of over S13 was raised. which
will meet the first note due on the
organ.
But the large receipts testify be-
yond question to the triumph OF
matter over mind. When only
SO can be raised at a dramatic en-,
tertainmeat it shows the quickest
way to the ordinary pocket book is
through the stomach. Having
found out way SO easy we suggest
that three more such entertains
ments be given which ought to
clear off the organ debt.

From Our Special Correspondent.

Washington, Feb, 5,1897.-Scna-
tor Chandler has puzzled the poll
ticians by the Introduction Of a
resolution declaring it to be the
sense Of the Senate that the United
States should not always aCqulesce
in the single gold standard, and
that the efforts of the Government
in all its branches should be dis
rected to secure and maintain the
Use of silver as we'll us gold as
standard money, with the free
coinage of both Mr.. Chandle
calls his resolution an other step
towards bimetallism and has am
nOunced his intention to speak on
it, in order to refute arguments
made by Senator Villas, whom he
calls gold monometalIist, and
Senator PettigreW, whom he calls
a silver mOnOmetallist, when these
two Senators voted against the in
ternational monetory commission
bill. There is an impression that
Senator Chandler, who, while in
no sense leader of his party, is
one Of the sIickest wire pulIers
now in politics, has some object
in view which he has Mt mentions
ed and isn't likely to mention, but
nobody seems to know just what it
is. Although Mr.. Chandler is a
republican of the most pronounced
type, the bitter personal attack he
mace on Mckinley and Hanna
just before the national convention
met last year makes it reasonably
certain that he will have little Oh
no influence with the coming ads
ministration. If it WAS Mt for
that he might be supposed to be
acting for Mckinley, Hel usually
acts for Chandler.
1t is already evident that the
new tariff bill will not increase
duties upon everything. For in
stance, the majority of the Ways
and Means committee have inform
ally decided TO cut the duty on
steel rails nearly in half. The du-
ty on steel rails under the present
tariff is about equal to 1874 a ton,
but it is not likely to EXCEED 81 a
ton in the new tariff bill. Improves
ments in methods and lessening
the cost of rails by American mans
uiacturers is given as the reason
for this cut.
1t may not make the treaty any
stronger. but It certainly added
something to the senti mental in.
terest of the occasion that the Ven.
zuelan arbitration treaty, which
was this week signed by represenA
tatives of Venesuela and Great
Britain, in the presence of SecreD
tary OIney, at the Department of
State, should have been signed
with gold pen owned by Senior
Andrade, the Venezuelan Minister
which was in a holder made from
a quill from the wing of an Amer
lean eagle and was decorated with
a gold heart surrounded by dia,
monds. Great Britain ano Venez.
