On the third of September. Engi-
neer Derby received the permission to
purchase a piece of leather to fix his
pump, which if he had waited for,
might have cost the company several
dollars, and possibly a shut down of
the work. He didn't need the leather,
for bill of the goods furnished. Ac-
cOrding to instructions, the bill must
be made out in triplicate and attest
ed by the engineer, foreman, super
intendent and one clerk, one bill to
be filed in the local Office, one at the
general office, and the third to be sent
to the treasurer of the company.
Cobbler Symmes tried to do cash
business, but he said if he was to
have dealings with a big corporation,
he guessed he'd have some bill heads.
Accordingly, he gave the local prin-
ter job, and after considerable trou-
BILE the invoices were made out in
form, properly vouched attested, GER
titled and forwarded.
On the sixteenth of October the Of
flee at Little Brook was informed
that "among the monthly statements
of invoices forwarded to the general
offices for the previous month, Ciere
was none covering invoice of Requi-
sition No. 94,742 and duplicate" There
was a request to look up the matter
forthwith.
Then it was found that EpIlriam
Symmes had neglected to furnish
statement, in triplicate, on the first Of
the month following the rendering OF
the bills for supplies furnished. At
ter some little trouble and urging, the
statement was forthcoming, forward
ed and filed, but according to rules il
could not be attended to until the
first of the following month, n
checks being drawn in the interim.
On the first of November, CERT
fed check of somewhat astonishing
proportions for so small an amounr
was issued, payable to the order of
Ephraim Symmes, of Little Brook,
and charged to the account of the fac
tory at Little Brook, to cover Require
ton No. 94,742, filed September - for
five cents. This was signed by two
clerks, the auditor, president,
and finally by the treasurer himself
1t was payable by the Thirteen Ma
tional bank of New York, through
any bank, and no other receipt or
voucher required or desired, except
the signature of the party to whom
payable, vouched for by the cashier
of the bank where payment is made
This was the first check Ephraim
Symmes had ever received, and in
stead of cashing it, he had it framed
and hung on the wall of his shop.
But the end was not yet On the
first of the following February, an
examination of the affairs of the com.
pany showed that check No. 1886
had failed to be returned from the
bank. Accordingly, tracer was sent
ont to Thirteen National bank, who
forwarded it to the New York Clear,
ing House, and by them it was sent

 Mobile These Days.

MOBILE, ALA, July 29.-This city is in turmoil today as the result Of three murders which occurred last night and which has driven the peo- pie to the highest pitch of frenzy. Bushes is practically suspended. On all sides the opinion is freely eX- pressed that summary justice should be meeted out and if the day passes without lynching it will be won der. The first killing was that of Thomas Jones, 63 years of age, Confederate veteran. and highly res pected, by Isaiah Davis, a negro ex- convict The crowd which rapidly assembled on the scene after the murder was about to lynch Davis, when wagon load of officers rescu- cd him with difficulty and he was incarcerated in the city jail. All night long a desperate and deter mined crowd of men remained out side the jail, but they knew the futil ity of attack and were waiting their opportunity, when the prisoners would be removed. Before midnight Mai Bush called ont the local troops but Of the 800 men composing the first brigade in this city only seventy-fye responded. With their officers they lay underarms all night expecting call. The prisoner was brought this morning before the coroner's jury, and the lower court sent him up for murder.
 Before l and } this morning ne- gro named Willie Knight, known as Pensacola Kid" shot and instant ly killed another negro, named Dant- zler. As he was being chased by officers, Knight shot and mortally ounded Policeman Tucker. For this latter offense he willprobably die if the residents of the north part of the city can get him out of the county jail.

LONDON, September 5.-Labouchere
in the Truth, today, renews mysteri-
Gus hints which have been in circula-
ton since the death of Lieutenant Won
llahnl>e. of the German navy, a son Of
General Won llahnl<e. chief of Emper
or Williams military cabinet, who met
his death by drowning i'm July last,
while accompanying His Majesty on
IA trip to the northland aboard the i'm
perial yacht Hohenzollern. In 50 do
ing Labouchere once more publishes
the intimation that the lieutenaut's
death was n sequel to the black eye
which the Emperor received about
that time.
According to one story the black
eye was received by blow from Il
rope which was being whirled about
by the wind. Another story has it
that the Emperor so coarsely abused
Lieutenant Won Hahnke that the lat
ter committed suicide. Finally, still
another version is that the lieutenant
stung by the Emperor's sharp words,
resented them to the extent of black
ing His Majesty's eye and then took
his own life.
The Truth in today's comments on
the affair says:
at is worthy of remark that the au-
thorized version was most obligingly
impressed upon the officers and men
of the Ilohenzollern upon every tour
list they met"
The official version in the affair in
brief seems to be that Lieutenant Won
Hahnke. who was accompanied by his
brother officer. accidentally ran into
the river Grondalsely on bicycle.
while trying to avoid collision with
a shying pony. The river. it is fur
Their explained, is a raging torrent
from which escape is impossible, and
when the lieutenant came upon the
scene all trace of Won Hahnke except
his cap had disappeared. Labouchere
adds:
eve have received a letter saving
that the day following Won Hahnke's
death a dummy figure the same size
and weight was tossed into the tor
rent in order to test its effects When
the dummy was thrown in it was dis
covered to be torn to pieces and every
body agrees that Van HahnIe's body
must have met a similar fate. Yet ev-
er since the appearance of The Truths
remarks, it is announced from Berlin
that the body has been recovered af-
ter being six weeks in the raging tor
rent, and it will be brought home for
burial"
In conclusion Labourchere remarks:
perhaps. in time the full facts in
this remarkable affair may be made
known"

HE PRAISES THE NAVY.


The Dolphin returned to Hampton
Roads on September Is with Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt, who has just COM
pleted an inspection of the North At
lantic squadron at sea while under
full feet maneuvers. This is the first
inspection made in recent years I'M
der such conditions, and the results
were highly satisfactory. Under the
eye of the Assistant Secretary an eX-
tensive program of exercises was sue
cessfully executed.
A novel feature of Wednesdays ma
neuvers was the use for the first time
in any navy of japanese daylight fire
works as a means of signalling. a sys-
TEN which is being devolved to meet
the emergency that might follow the
loss in action of a single mast or the
hiding of ship by smoke.
In summing up the results of his
inspection of the squadron Mr.. Roose-
welt said:
1.-The trip has been in every way
more than satisfactory. There is ev-
cry reason to be satisfied with every
detail of the management of the huge
warships. This is the first time that
such a squadron of modern ironclads
have ever been under the command of
an American admiral. Indeed, it is
the first time in peace that an Ameri-
can admiral has ever commanded a
squadron relatively so formidable as
compared with the warships of other
powers. At last we are beginning TO
have navy fit to uphold the interests
of our people, a navy which, though
too small in size, need fear comparison
with no other as regards the quality
of its ships and men"
