PENITENTIARY DEFICIT.
It Will Be Necessary to Garry So, 200
Till Legislature Meets.

There is deficiency of So, 200 in the
accounts at the state penitentiary
which the creditors will wait for the
legislature of 1901 to pay. Of this
amount $3.50 is due the Santa Fe; ST.
700 is owed to manufacturers for sup
plies for the prison coal mines.
The Santa Fe account is for royalties
for the use of Santa Fe coal land ad-
joining the prison, from which the state
is taking coal.
This was due last February but the
Populist warden and board of directors
did not pay it. The supplies account
was authorized early in the spring and
the bills have just come in to the board
of directors
The directors were anxious to settle
the accounts and get them out of the
way but State Auditor Cole holds that
it is unlawful to pay from apprOpria-
tions for this years business, accounts
which should have been paid from the
appropriations of last year. In other
words the funds of one year can not be
applied to the succeeding year.

FLEE FROM THE CURIOUS.
Baby Clark's Parents Worn Out by
Repeated AnnoYances.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 5.-Throngs of
curious visitors and persistent camera
fends have so disturbed the parents Of
Baby Marion Clark that they have de-
cided to seek another country home in
the hope that they viii be freed from
this annoyance.
The little girl who was the center of
New YOrks recent kidnapping sensation
was brought to the Forbes manor near
this city, a fortnight ago, to recover
from the effects of the illness which fol-
lowed shortly after her restoration. 1t
was the intention of the family to re-
main in seclusion and the child was
rapidly improving, when a gossiping
servant revealed her presence and the
old manor house was besieged daily
by strangers asking to see her. 1t be-
came impossible for the nurse to walk
about the grounds with the child with
out annoyance, and the family in sheer
desperation has decided to remove to a
more remote neighborhood.

NeWspaper.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 5.-Most of the
newspapers here cordially welcome NJ. Del

fairs, who arrived here yesterday. The
Novoe Vremya, however, throws cold
douches on the Importance the French
papers seek to attribute to the visit. 1t
says that while, since the advent, of the

desirable, the significance of the visit is
wholly of a one-sided character and to
difference if NJ. Delcasse had delayed his
return visit and remained at his post,
where he might be better employed in ex-
planning to his colleagues the conduct
which the F'rancO-Russian alliance de-

NELLIE BERGER FOUND.
Her Abductor Caught With the Kid
mapped Girl In Farm House.

Columbus, Ind, Aug. 5.-NIiss Nellie
Berger, the 17-year-Old daughter of Will
liam Berger, of near Rochester, Ind,
who was kidnapped two weeks ago by
Clyde Jones, alias Clyde Johnson, was
found at the home Of Wilbur Acton,
near Freetown, twenty miles southwest
of here. AS the Acton family was sit
ting down to dinner Sheriff Garst, &C
companied by Editor Barnhart of the
Rochester Sentinel, arrested Jones, the
abductOr, before the latter had time to
escape.
About two weeks ago Jones, alias
Johnson, called at the Berger home, in
Fulton county, near Rochester, and ask
ed Mr.. Berger if he had q daughter
who would come to his home and help
his wife can fruit, and said that he
would pay $3.50 per week for her work
Jones claimed to have recently moved
into that neighborhood. After some
hesitation Mr.. Berger allowed his
daughter to go, advising her that she
should write him Immediately upon her
arrival. She left with the stranger and
had not been heard of until today.
The father becoming alarmed after
his daughters continued silence, in
quired of the neighbOrs as to where
Jones lived and found out that no such
person had moved into that neighbOr-
hood. Berger Immediately informed the
officers and rewards amounting to near
~ $1,000 were offered for the arrest of
Jones.
Many false rumors were started and
eagerly traced to their source by hun
dreds Of neighbors and friends. At
last Sheriff Garst traced them to Free
town, where Jones had secured work
hauling gravel on the new pixies. Miss
Berger had been taken out in the gravel
wagon with him that morning.
Sheriff Garst took the abductor to
Michigan City, where he will be placed
in prison. The people in the vicinity
of Rochester declare that they will han
him if caught Miss Berger was taken
to her home this evening by Barnhart
When found she was scantily attired
She told a pitiful story of how she
had been treated since leaving home.
She said the nights had been spent in
the woods and at farm houses, where
Jones claimed that Miss Berger was his
sister. He threatened several times to
blow her brains out if she said a word
to anyone. She made up her mind
she said, to tell Mrs. Acton, at whose
home they were found all about Jones
and his crime last night.
Miss Berger is only II years old and
has borne an excellent reputation
around Rochester. where she lived Her
parents are well-to-dO, having recently
inherited several thousand dollars
Jones, her abductor, is wanted, it is
said, for horse stealing in Michigan.
Before kidnapping Miss Berger he had
succeeded in abducting a girl at West
Liberty, Ind, but she escaped.

DRUNKEN HANS FREAK.
TFrom the Pittsburg Press.l

CFrom the Pittsburg Press.
William Burns, an engineer who
with whisky and conceived the notion
that the only way for him to achieve
happiness was to climb to the top of
the TWenty-SecOnd street bridge. Walk
ing out on the bridge he lodged the
Waterman and was soon perched high
up among the girders, and after view
ing the scenery to his satisfaction he
prepared to sleep off the effect of his
jag.
The sight of a man high up on the
structure soon attracted a crowd and
there were many speculations as to his
possible intention, some thinking that
he intended to commit suicide, getting
as high as possible to make sure that
he would be successful, while others
were of the opinion that he was another
Steve Brodie, and that if they remained
there long enough they would be treat
ed to a free show. Anything free on the
South side draws, and as the word was
passed along, the crowd increased on
the bridge, all waiting for the show TO
begin.
AS Burns did not jump, and seemed to
be fixed for an afternoon sleep, one dis
appointed spectator went in search of a
policeman and returned with Policeman
John Claiming, who ordered Burns to
come down. Burns paid no attention to
the order and the crowd howled glee-
fully. Then the policeman started to
climb the girders, but gave that up and
sent to No IL engine company for the
ladder truck and a detail of firemen
The arrival of the truck reused Burns
from his slumber, and after surveying
the crowd he told them that if they ran
the ladder up there he would jump, and
as he had all the chances in the world
to carry out his threat they desisted.
The policeman figured out that it was
$50 feet to the water, and that the man
would surely be killed if he made the
jump, also that a live prisoner with a
charge of disorderly conduct against
him was better than a coroner's case,
with all the trouble of dragging the
river for him at the expense of I'M
dertakers, etc.
Diplomacy was then resorted to, and
after considerable blarneY Burns con-
scented to come down if the ladder truck
was taken away. His descent was the
occasion for much cheering by the
crowd and from the back of the patrol
wagon he waved his hand to his audi
ence. A few minutes later he was
peacefully sleeping in a cell at No. :
police station, where there was nothing
to disturb his SAUNDERS. When brought
before Magistrate McBarey this morn
ing Burns agreed that five days in jail
would be a good thing for his health,
and thanked his magistrate as he went
back to his cell.

MAKING BOGUS MONEY.
The Philippine Islands Flooded With
Counterfeit Spanish and
Chinese Coins.

New York, Aug. 5.-A special to the
Times from Washington says:
Chief Willxie of the secret service says
that there are a great number of Grim
1nals in the Philippine Islands. They
are so numerous and successful that
it will soon be necessary to make pro
vision for secret service agents in the
islands. The counterfeiters do not make
limitations of American money, but re-
produce Spanish and Chinese coins. In
the present condition of affairs in the
Philippines the counterfeiting of these
coins does as much harm as the max
ing of bogus American money and per-
haps more. General Otis is doing what
he can to break up the practice but he
has a hard fight on his hands, as he has
no trained detectives Chief Wilkie
says also that there is much counter
fefting going on in Cuba, Porto Rico
and Hawaii, although not so much as
in the Philippines and that the secret
service will have to be extended to
those islands

TRIES THE AUTOMOBILE.

mobile is causing no end of amusement
for society folks in Newport, and in
some instances the amusement is ex-
pensive Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish is the
latest to run amuck with one, but the
damage done by her was to her hus-
bands estate and no one can complain
It was her second lesson in the use of
one, and she had not left the doorway
before the machine went shooting
across the well-kept lawns, but finally
it was zigza eyed into the road.
More trouble was in store for Mrs.
Fish, as she had not gone far before it
again shot out of the path, and this
time brought up against a stone wall.
The carriage was brought to a sudden
stop, apparently was uninjured, but the
stones went rolling off the wall, leav-
ing quite a gap in it.
The next obstruction was a. finely
kept hedge, which did not retard the
progress of the carriage, and before it
was brought to a stop a part of the
hedge was laid low. This did not
seemingly discourage Mrs. Fish, as she
kept at it, and at the end of the hours
lesson she managed to keep the carriage
in the middle of the road.
