<r1xANDER,s CURIOUS VISITORS.
The United States Court Clerks House and
once Entered and Searched.


Sometime between Saturday noon and Mon
day morning some person pried open two
drawers OF the cashiers desk in the clerks
Office OF the United States District Court In
the postoff1ce building. Commissioner Thomas
Alexander is clerk Of the court. The look Of
ono drawer was forced off and fell into the
drawer and the clutch OF the other was forced
back into the lock. Nothing was missed by the
oflce clerks. The drawers are used for sta
tionery, memoranda slips. etc.. and never to
hold money. Tho cash drawer 10 left unlocked
every night. the contents being placed in the
safe.
The incident recalled to Commissioner Alex
anders mind that upon visiting his homo at
IA St. Nicholas place. for the first time in six
weeks. the house having been closed for the
summer. he found that It had been entered and
every room showed traces OF having been care
fully searched. Before the house was closed
everything OF value not too bulky was placed
in a safe deposit vault and tho intruders got
nothing. They had opened every drawer and
searched every Granny. and apparently every
scrap OF correspondence had been read over.
There ia no clue to the housebreakers.
As tho court clerk S Office closed on Saturday
at II O'Clock. 1t is suspected that tho ono who
forced the drawers there hid in some corner
until the clerks had gone and after forcing the
drawers. opened the office door and left the
building.

Judge Brown Refuses to Grant tho Petition

Meyers and Amelia Meyers hled separate petit
lions, one on Feb. IL. the other on Feb. ~ 1899.
The firm failed on Nov. 81. 1885, After the
failure nothing was paid on the merchandise
debts. amounting to $4,000. Early in 1885
George II. Meyers made statement to COM
mercial agency. in which he gave the firms
surplus as $73. 100 on Jan. 2. 1885, Bank
ruptcy experts showed that the surplus on that
date consisted OF $29. 900 in cash. merchandise
and fixtures and .245 In outstanding ac-
counts. The indebtedness for merchandise
was S12 $3.50. and for other money owing. SILL

Even II the remaining 81. 200 Of these ac-
counts" says Judge Brown in his decision.
was dsregarded. there would still be clear
surplus OF $4,000 on January 2. and the in
debtedness OF about $65. 900 without assets
upon the failure on Nov. ~ would make
q loss OF SIT OOO between Nov. 81 and Jan. 2 to
be accounted for. From all the testl-
mony and from the utter failure OF the bank
rupts to supply any adequate. credible or In
telligible explanation Of the alleged loss OF
assets. and from the circumstances and man
ner Of the failure. the inference might DO
drawn that the business OF 1896 was fraudu-
lenty conducted. the failure unnecessary and
fraudulent and designed to cheat the mer-
chandise creditors"
There is only one other instance OF petition
in bankruptcy having been refused since the
bankruptcy law went into effect.
