FORGER IN THE PHNITHNTIARY
r. b. Clark Who got 800 Here Now
Serving out His Sentence.

serving out Ills sentence.
Deputy Sheriff Rivers, who went to
Indianapolis Monday with a requisition
for ID. ID. Durham alias r. B. Clark, who
got the Royal and Borden Furniture
Company, of this city, as we'll as great
number of other furniture concerns all
over the country, to cash a check (S100)
that was no good, came back yesterday.
But he didn't bring his man. He left
him in the Indiana penitentiary.
1t will be remembered that Durham
went from here to Tennessee. There
he was arrested for victimizing a num-
Der of people with his worthless checks.
But he succeeded in compromising all
these and was taken to Indiana on a
requisitiOn. There he was about to do the
same thing when Deputy Rivers ar
rived
AS soon as Durham found out Rivers
was there, and had come to bring him
to North Carolina he changed his plea
from mot guilty" to guilty" refused
to compromise and threw himself upon
the mercy of the court, saying that he
had rather go to the penitentiary at once
and be done with it; that he knew that
would be his fate if he came South and
that he might be lynched. He was given
what is called in Indiana an indeter-
inmate sentence-from one to fourteen
years, dependent upon good conduct and
the board of pardons. Under such a
sentence the man can be kept in prison
not less than one year nor more than
fourteen, but if released by the board of
pardons before the expiration of the
fourteen years he must not leave the
State and must every month report to the
supervisor of the prison as to his where
abouts and what he is doing In case
he violates the law again in some way
he may be taken back to the peniten-
tiary and his old unexpired term revived.
| Mr.. Rivers says that the warden of the
northern Indiana prison was notified that
Jas soon as Durham's sentence should ex-
| pire, officers would be ready at the doors
of the prison, armed with the proper pa
pers to bring the man back to Raleigh for
trial. Had Mr.. Rivers got to Indiana
polls two hours later the other day, he
says Durham would have been a free
man and he would probably never have
seen the inside of prison walls for his
present offences.
| Thus the Royal and Borden Furniture
Company, of this city, have not only
been the cause of his arrest in Tennes-
see, but of his getting in the penitentiary
in Indiana.

TO ISSUE ADMISSION CARDS.
Supt. Ashmorc VIII Be Ready for Al
Applicants Tomorrow.

The Office of the superintendent of the
public schools viii be opened tomorrow
for the distribution of the admission cards.
The hours for the distribution of these
cards will be from until l o'clock
Superintendent Ashmore has arranged
all preliminaries, and stated to a Morn
ing News reported yesterday, that there
were several things which he wished to
wildly impress upon the minds Of parents.
One of them was that no child will be
admitted unless a physicians certificats
of vaccination or vaccination scar is
shown. Pupils who were in school at the
close of last session in June, whether pro-
NOTED or not, need no admission cards,
a seats will be reserved for them. If such
pupils have moved to another district,
however, they will need transfer cards.
Pupils will be admitted in the order of
their application, and they will be required
to attend school in their respective dis
tricts provided there is room fer them. If,
however, there is no room in their own dis
trict school, then they may choose any
other that may be available If no room is
found, they may have their names regis
tered on the waiting list, to be admitted in
the order of application when room is
found for them
The schools will be re-opened on Friday,
Oct 1, yet it is important that pupils
claim their seats promptly tomorrow.
Lists of text books will be given to all pu-
pills on the first day.
There viii be an annual tuition fee of
SO for pupils who attend the high school.
This sum viii be divided into three equal
installments of IS to be paid in advance for
each of the three quarters of the school
term Prof. Train will be at the Chat
ham Academy tomorrow, Tuesday and
Wednesday to receive the first payment of
S. due from each high school pupil and to
issue admission cards to those who are to
attend the high school.
The opening of the schools will necess-
tate the purchase of several thousand dol
lars worth Of books to supply the pros
pective pupils, who, according to an esti-
mate by Mr.. Ashmore. will aggregate
nearly 10000.

IRONCLAD CERTIFICATES.
! Augusta Requires a Special Form to
secure Admission There.

The quarantine requirements enforced
by some other cities are more rigid in
some respects than those by which Sa-
vannah is protected. The Morning News
has already called attention to the fact
that the health certificates issued by Au-
gusta, Atlanta and Charleston give full
descriptions of the parties to whom certif-
Gates are issued. The board of health of
Augusta has now decided that persons
entering that city from other points must
present certificates Of similar character
TO those issued in Augusta. A resolution
to this effect has been adopted.
Notice of this action has been received
here and has been given the attention of
the sanitary board. As the result, the
Morning News was requested to announce
that Augusta requires of all persons in
tending TO enter that city certificates CIV
ing full description, including hight,
weight color of hair and eyes and age.
The certificate must also have the sigma
ture of the person to whom it is issued
and the genuineness of this signature
must be attested by the officer issuing it.
This comes nearer being iron-clad than
any form of certificate required since the
fear of yellow fever drove the cities in
this section to quarantine The board win
have blank forms for this style of certii-
cate prepared and will issue such certih-
Gates to parties intending to visit Au-
gusta. The form of certificate issued here
does not include description or require
signature
A petition from the Pullman Palace Car
Company asking that conductors and por-
ters of that company be admitted without
certificates, was considered by council yes
terday and was promptly turned down.
Even the railway mail clerks coming into
the city are required to have certificates,
and those on the Atlanta run are required
to have their certificates vised by DR..
Stone. Engineers. conductors and other
employees of the transportation department
of the railways are all required TO have
certificates, and even Vice President Egan
of the Central railway carries his little
certificate, and presents it promptly when
the inspector makes his appearance. The
rule works both ways and every other
way.
The demand for a quarantine upon At
lanta has ceased somewhat since the pre-
cautions now in force for protection from
infection from that source have been fully
explained. DR.. Stone is on guard there
for Savannah, and that is the best guar
antee that Savannah's interests will be
carefully guarded at that end of the line
4 consider our present plan better than
a quarantine" said DR.. William Duncan
to a Morning News reporter yesterday
"All persons and baggage bound from
that city to Savannah are carefully scru-
tinized, and il is more difficult for unde-
sirable parties to make their way here
now than would be the case with formal
quarantine"
The sanitary board will hold its session
at l o'clock to-day as usual.

COL. WARNINGS BRIGADE.
| One New York Department Which Is
Not in Politics.

Col. George Z. Waring, the eminent SAN
itary engineer who will furnish the plans
for Savannah's system of house drain
age, is one of the prominent figures of New
Yorks metropolis.
Since Col Warning took charge of the
street cleaning department of New York
with the incoming of the present reform
administration, that city has had what it
had not known for long time before,
clean streets. As Col Warning said him
self to a Morning News reporter the other
day, he has been one of the most widely
caricatured men in the United States Be
ing a man of striking physique and intro
ducing new and novel ideas in his work,
one Of them being the uniforming of his
army of employees in white
the newspapers had good material to work
upon and they made full use of it.
one Of the ideas introduced by Col War
ing, which was novel to New York, was
that the street cleaning force was not
political body. The department, like every
other department Of the city, was so per-
meated with politics that the idea of re-
moving it from politics was ridiculed by
the newspapers, and Warnings white
topics of the humorists of the metropolis.
Col. Waring persisted, however, and the
results have spoken for themselves.
There are about 5000 men in the street
cleaning force" said Col. Waring. They
are not allowed to take part in any
political meeting or demonstration. The
men are allowed TO register and vote alb
solutely as they please. No political in
fluence is allowed to be brought to bear
upon them. Ii was supposed, of course,
that when this new departure was inau-
gurated that Tammany would make a
fight upon the department. All political
parties are treated alike in making ap-
pointments, and when Tammany found
that its members were not Disseminated
against it had no complaint to make. The
department had so absolutely failed to
keep the streets clean under previous po-
litical regimes, both Tammany and re-
publican, that when this was accomplished
all parties seemed willing to hold hands
off and allow the good work to go on"
Col. Waring was asked If he thought
that he would be disturbed after the en-
suing election, and said he thought not,
for the reasons just stated. He was not
inclined 10 discuss politics, but from some
significant remarks which he let fall, ii
was evident that he looked upon Tam
many as a sure winner in the coming cleo
ton, provided the right man is put at the
head of the ticket.
