Young Woman Adopts Irregular
Methods to Support Family.

Boston, May II. Another young
woman, whose methods of doing busi-
ness with checks did not meet the APP
proval of the police, was brought into
police headquarters yesterday afternoon.
Her name is Carrie NJ. Anderson. She is
% years old and lives with her mother
and grandmother at SO Michigan avenue,
Dorchester.
She was arrested on complaint of Hous-
ton & Henderson, a Washington street
dry goods firm. and it is said that this
firm cashed Tuesday and yesterday two
checks of hers for $40 each, which are
said to have been worthless. For some
time past Miss Anderson has been a
public stenographer with an Office in the
Hancock building on Devonshire street.
and previous to that she had been in the
employ of a well-known florist. She had
kept bank account at the International
Trust company, but her business meth
DDS We're such as to compel that COM
pany to ask her to stop further business
with it.
She then transferred her account to
the Beacon Trust company, and from
April III to April 25 when the company
closed her account, she made many de-
Eosits and drew many checks. The
checks cashed by Houston & Henderson
were drawn on the Beacon Trust COM
pany. Her method was the old one of
"kit!ng' checks. She would make a de-
posit: and then draw a check for a much
larger amount hoping to make another
deposit before this check went through
the clearing house.
This scheme worked for q while, but
she could not make her deposits keep up
with the checks drawn, and asia result
she is said to be $500 behind The police
say that their attention was called to Ter
some time ago, and that she was warned
then that if She continued She would
surely get into trouble.
Miss Anderson seemed to feel kee My
her situation. She said that&he had to
contribute largely to the support of those
at her home, had become indebted and
adopted the above method to help herself
out of her difficulty.
The police believe that If the charges
against her are true, the offense was
committed for the sake of the beloved
grandmother and of the mother, who had
fastened to her daughters side the mo-
ment she received information that the
girl was in trOlIble

Mr.. Mccarthy offered an order from

Days Batch of Strike Notes.

Buffalo, May 1.-THE trouble between
Contractor Connors and the grain
shovellers is nearer a settlement than at
any time since the shipping season
opened. The prospects now are that be-
fore the end Of the week the whole mat
ter will be Strengthened out the grain
blockade will be raised and the men will
be at work. The strike leaders are now
prepared to make terms along the lines
laid down in the last proposition made
by the lake carriers. which provided for
the appointment of a general superin-
tendent who would have entire charge
of the unloading of grain at this port and
who was to be appointed by Bishop
Quigley and paid by the Lake Carriers
association, Mr.. Connors, the present
contractor, merely to draw his commits
sion until the end of the year, when his
contract expires. This change of atti-
tude was brought about by a conference
held at Bishop Quigley's residence last
night.

The parade of the veterans occurred
In the afternoon. They marched through

by General Gordon and Wade Hampton,
long line of griZzled men who had fol-
lowed these leaders and the other cap
tains of the Confederate armies during
the Civil war, marched sturdily to inspir-

At intervals along the line the flutter-
ing of a war-worn and shot-torn battle
flag brought forth cheers, while heads
were barred as the frayed emblems Of a
dead cause cleaned over some organiza-
tlon whose name is a house hold word in

Including kindred organizations and
guests there were about 5000 persons in

A conservative estimate places the
number of visitors at between 25.OOO ard
10000, while southern enthusiasm Is at

Much Depends on Grand Jury.

New York, May 11.-There was long
argument in the Molineux case before
Justice Jerome in the court of specia!
sessions yesterday. Barlow S. Weeks,
counsel for Molineux, contended that
as the grand jury had passed upon the
Identical points at issue. Justice Jerome
had no Jurisdiction. Then Mr.. Weeks
announced that he was ready for trial.
and the district attorney stated that h.
was also ready. After further delibera.
tion Mr.. Weeks stated that he woulo
waive examination and asked Justice
Jerome to fix bail The justice said that
in waiving examination the case was
taken out of his hands and was in tht
hands of the grand jury, and he re.
fused to accept or fix any bail. 1t Is
expected that, as the grand jury refused
to find an indictment against Molineu>
in the first instance, it will do so again.

ash and clinker than the Cardiff coal,
which is the standard the world over.
