IS WANTED FOR TWO GRIMES.
A Bank Cashier Is Said to Have Been
Guilty of Murder and EmbeZziemene
"A Thrilling StnrX.


st. Louis, Dec. 8.-The Post-Dis-
patch throws Light on a mysterious
| shooting that occurred in st. Louis
on June II, 1897, and resulted in the
death of Elliot J.. Duckworth at Kan
sas City, Kan. some time after that.
| According to the story Duckworth
came to st. Louis from Springfield,
| Mo-, to meet Edward l.. Doling, an
Indiana bank cashier. who in a letter
| had offered the former a position.
Before meeting Dolling, Duckworth
strolled out to Forest park, where
| he was later found badly wounded,
! with bullet hole in his head and II
| revolver lying beside him. 1t was APP
| parently case of suicide. In the
wounded mans pocket was found u
| card bearing these words: II am Ed
| ward l.. Dolling. of Terre Ilaute, Ind.
| In case of accident -
Dolling was at that time wanted
| for embezzling $4,000 from bank in
| a small town near Terre Haute. Ind.
He disappeared about the time he
wrote the letter to Duckworth maxi
| ing the st. Louis appointment with
| the latter. Dolling and DuckWorth
| resembled each other to Il remarkable
| degree. The story goes on to say
| that DucllWOrth was decOyed to this
city by Dolling and fatally shot,
card put in his pocket with the lat
ter's name on it and the wounded
man passed off on the police and the
public as the missing embezzler.

sister, Mrs Eva Hutchinson, of Hutch

| identity. The wounded man denied
that he had attempted to commit sui

ing of the shooting. Dolling, it is
said is still at large and the police
are searching for him on the charge
of embezzlement and murder.
| Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. S.-Elliot l..
Duckworth died at the Kansas insti-
tute for the blind in Kansas City,
Kan. on November IS. lie had been
| i'll only since the Wednesday before
and it was the opinion of the ply
sicians that the old wound was the in
direct cause of his death. The wound
he received in Forest park, St. Louis,
brought on blindness and he was
| taken to the Kansas City (Kan.)
asylum by his sister at Hutchinson.
To the pupils and teachers in the
asylum he said that he did not know
the man who shot him.

MARSH PLEADS GUILTY.
Ex-President OF the keystone Bank
is Arraigned In Sentence De-

Philadelphia, Dec. S.-GideOn w.
Marsh. president of the keystone ma
tional bank, which failed in March,
1891, was arraigned in the district
court yesterday and pleaded guilty to
indictments charging misapplication
of funds of the institution and max
ing false reports of the banks condi.
ton to the comptroller of the cur
rency. Sentence was deferred. 1t
will be remembered that Marsh dis
appeared in May. 1891, his bail of $780,
900 being forfeited and that he was
a fugitive from justice until Novem-
Der last when he returned to the
city and voluntarily surrendered to
the court.
After Marsh had entered his plea
of guilty his counsel asked the courts
permission to present a statement OF
his client which would show mitigat-
ing circumstances in connection with
the commission of the acts to which
he had pleaded guilty. Counsel in
formed the court that after Mr.. Marsh
had assumed the presidency of the
bank, he found that there existed a
deficiency of over 100000. Counsel
said the defendant had never profted
one dollar through the banks losses.
The court dismissed the matter by
informing counsel that he would re-
mand the prisoner until Tuesday
next. when he would impose sentence
after hearing counsel's plea. He, how
ever. would not make this case an ex-
ception and would not go into an in
vestgation of the banks affairs.
William Steele, former cashier OF
the wrecked Chestnut Street national
bank. was also arraigned and pleaded
ing him with aiding President Sim
gerly (now deceasedD in the misappro-
erly (now deceased) in the misappro-
priation of the funds of that institu-
ton.

granting OF an appropriation by congress
is recommended for this purpose and the
appointment of a committee from its re-
spective bodies.
The alien contract law is shown by ex-
perience to need some amendment A

gested for consideration and these sub

CAUGHT BY a CAVE IN.
Three Wen Buried Under Thousands
of Tons of Burning Coal.

West Superior, Wis, Dec. S.-While
fighting a fire on the dock of the Le-
high Coal & Coke Co. yesterday Il
crew of men were caught by bad
cavein, caused by the weakening OF
the pile foundation. Two miraculous
ly escaped and four were buried un-
der thousands of tons of burning
coal One. John Malnowasky, was
rescued alive. but is in precarious
condition. The other three probably
persisted. Their identity cannot be
learned, as they were new men.
The fire is the worst which has
been experienced here for years. The
middle of the dock is burning fiercely
and it is being cut into sections to
prevent the fire spreading. 1t looks
as though 300 feet of the dock would
be destroyed, together with 10000
tons of coal, the latter worth $4,000.

In Handwriting.

Perhaps it is not generally known
that Mohammedans never use printed
Korans; because in doubt as to tho
ingredients entered into the compost
ton of the printing ink. They are
afraid of being detiled by taking into
their hands copy of the sacred book
which may have been produced with
the ink in which pigs fat, instead of
linseed oil, has formed one of the
component parts. They therefore con-
fine themselves to reading handwrit-
ten reproductions of the prophets
work, which are naturally very ex-
penSiYe.

THE POOR DELUDED MAN.
He Tells His Friends How He Would
Never Allow IA Woman TO Manage

Him.
The lord of creation was sitting with
some men friends before CRATE fire
one cold evening and was exchanging
with them opinions on persons and
things. The conversation had drifted
around to a discussion of married life,
and the host had the floor. ''Unac-
countable, isn't it" said he, chow hard
it is to make some women understand
that they don't need to manage their
husbands? Pve never had any trouble
of that kind myself-wouldn't stand
1T for second even if Polly were dis
posed to try her hand at management
but it seems impossible to prevent
some women from attempting all sorts
of things in the way of regulating the
actions of their husbands. Now, when
| fell in love with Polly she was what
she is now in rare momentS-mild and
pretty and amiably appreciative of my
intellect. | did not ever ask myself
whether she was clever or not. l didn't
care. We got along splendidly, like the
pious boy and his lazy brother the
first of whom said the prayers and the
last the Amen / did the talking and
Polly egged me on with raising of eye
brows, smiles and sympathetic 'Ohs,'
or Abs Well, we married. | have
learned that Polly's friends were under
the impression that she had captured
mental giant and was feeding him
with the sugar plums of fiction. She
gave people to understand that l
labored under the delusion that she
was a very brilliant person like myself,
and only her craftiness kept me from
finding out how shallow and silly she
was. Was ever a more absurd idea
evolved from the brain of a silly girl.
Polly clever! If she only knew that
her mild eyes, with the absolute ig-
norance of the world that lies in their
clear depths, are my stars of hope,
that her soft, faltering voice, that gets
shrill every time she tries to talk
learnedly, was what | love better than
oratory, and that her irresponsible
way of discussing my pet theories is
what fattcrs and gratifies me more
than any amount of sane praise from
really clever woman-well, if she
realized all that, | wonder if she would
still believe that she has managed
played with or 'deluded' me?"
Just then Polly came into the room
in quest of book, and one of the
guests jollingly repeated the substance
of what her husband had said. There
was quizzical look in her face as she
said:
Did you say that, Tom?"
Her husband acknowledged the corn.
Polly laughed good-naturedly and
said: You old goose" and left the
room. She also left an uneasy sus-
picion on her husbands mind that
after all perhaps she managed" him
without his being aware of it. The
same idea occurred to more than one
of his guests, but of course there is no
way of finding out whether such is the
case or not.-Chicago Chronicle.

"The study of evolution teaches u.s."
said the professor, that when an or
gan becomes useless it gradually fades
away. Witness the eyeless fish in the
Mammoth cave. In like manner it is
probable that the appendix vermifor-

reminiscence, so to speak of an organ
once useful in the human internal
mechanism, but now apparently worse
than useless will ultimately shrink
away and disappear utterly"
by that time, though" grumbled a
calamity howler in the class, science
will have made all grapes seedless. -

Our Merchant Marine.

The annexation of Hawaii and the
changed relations of the United States
to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
resulting from the war compel the prompt
adoption of a maritime policy by the
United States. There should be estab-
lshed regular and frequent steamship
communication, encouraged by us un-
der the American flag to the newly ac-
quired islands.
In my last message | recommended that
congress authorize the appointment of d
commission for the purpose OF making
systematic Investigations with reference
to the cause and prevention of yellow
fever. This matter has acquired an in
creased Importance as result Of the
military occupation of Cuba and the COM
mercial intercourse between this island
and the United States which we have
every reason to expect. The sanitary
problems connected with our new rela-
tions are no less important than those
relating to finance, commerce and adm n
istration. | therefore renew my recon-
mendation that the authority of congress
may be given and a suitable appropra-
ton made to provide for a commission
on exports to be appointed for the pur-
pose indiCa ted.

Increase In the Army and Navy Rec
commended.

The Importance OF legislation for the
permanent increase of the army is mani
fest and the recommendation of the sec
retary of war for that purpose has my
unqualified approval. There can be no
question that at this time, and probably
fer some time in the future. 100000 men
will be none too many to meet the nenes-
stiles Of the situation.
At all events, whether taat number shall
be required permanently, or not, power
should be given the president to enlist
that force If he deems II necessary, and
further discretion should be given him to
recruit for the army within the above
limit from the inhabitants of the islands
with the government of which we arc
charged
