washington, Dec. 9-The navy de-

This fact is particularly gratifying
as the United States government is al

navy into service in this matter. for
the reason that some of the prisoners
held in captivity on other islands than
Luzon, which can be reached best and
most effectively by Admiral Dewey s
ships.
Besides these clerical prisoners the
Americans themselves hold nearly 49,
900 Spanish soldiers as prisoners, men
captured at the fall Of Manila. These
are actually on parole about the city

NATIONAL BANK-WRECKERS.

Rottenness Of Treasury Department
Shown In Philadelphia Trial.
Philadelphia, Dec. 9.-The govern
ment rested its case at noon today in
the trial of William Steele, the cashier
of the wrecked Chestnut Street Ma
tional Bank, charged with conspiracy
with President William NJ. Singerly, in
the lisapplication of the funds of the
inst On and making false reports of
the banks condition to the comptroller
of the currency.
Cashier Steele took the stand and his
testimony in general was an admission
that he knew all the time of the con-
dition of the bank and excessive loans
being made to Mr.. Singerly. He also
stated that this condition was known
by the directors and also by the Off
Gals in Washington. His testimony
with regard to the officials in Wash
ington was ruled out. Mr.. Steele laid
particular stress on the fact that he
never benefited in any way whatever
by the manipulation Of the banks
funds by Mr.. SINCERELY and that he
never at any time attempted or intend
ed to withhold the true condition of
the bank from the directors and the
officials at Washington.

Maher Finds a Victim.

Philadelphia, Dec. 9.-Peter Maher
bested Ed Dunkhorst in a one-sided
six-round go at the Arena tonight.
Maher did most of the landing and in
the second sent the Syracusean to the
boards twice. In the fifth round, a
hard left on the jaw sent him down
again, but the bell sounded before ten
seconds were up. Maher went at his
man in the sixth in hurricane fashion,
and landed almost at will, but Dunk
horst managed to last out, to the end.

VAN coTT CALLED IN.
County Attorney Visits the Scene of
the Shooting.

Prosecuting Attorney Van Colt was
summoned by the police department
last night for consultation. He went
to the home of Mr.. Stout with Chief
Pratt, but did not go inside. In COM
pany with a Herald man, the county
attorney visited the scene Of the Shoot
ing and demonstrated that it. would
be impossible to recognize even a.
familiar face standing in the shadow
of the bill board. A person hiding
there with intent to commit an act of
this sort would naturally endeavor to
disguise himself as much as possible
which would make identification still
more difficult.
Mr. Van Colt was 10th to express an
opinion last night. Contenting himself
by saying it was a very mysterious
transaction and one which he did not
want to attempt to fathom without
more evidence. His information was
very meagre indeed

On Sept. 10th. next, the A. &
V. Rwy will put on an additional
passenger train between Meridian
and Vicksburg, in both directions,
daily. This train will leave Vicks
burg at 1856 a. m. and arrive at
Meridian at12.50 p. M, from which
point it will leave returning at 4.40
D. m. and arrive at Vicksburg at
1915. o'clock p. m.
The A. V. Rwy, in giving the
residents along it's line this addi-
tional facility, is only following
out it's well-known policy of CIV
ing the people the best possible
service. No expense has been
spared in the preparations. En-
tirely new equipment has been
constructed, consisting of a fine
Baldwin locomotive Of the most
modern and improved type; new
baggage car and new coaches,
which are provided with lavara-
tories and smoking room, and
many other Improvements, and
this service will be modern and
first-class in every respect.
The Inauguration of this service
means a great deal to our people,
in that it gives two trains each
way daily, enabling passengers to
60 to and return from any stations
on the A. & V. Rwy. without the
vexatious delays which have been
encountered heretofore.
We bespeak for the new service
the hearty support of the business
community, and trust that it will
prove as beneficial to the railroad
company as it is certain to be to
our readers.
