RATHBoNE UNDER ARREST.
Four Charges of Unlawful Expenditure
Made Against Him.


Havana, July 2S.-Estes Ct. Rath-
bone, recently Director General of
Posts in Cuba, was arrested at
IL O'Clock to-day on four charges.
These allege the unlawful drawing of
two orders for $500 each, paying his
private coachInan and gardener from
the postal funds and drawing per
diem allowance when not entitled to
do so. Mr.. RathUone was held in
bonds Of $4,000.
Rathbone remained in the court
room all day awaiting the decision of
the Judge on accepting Francisco
GAMBIA, one of the richest Spanish
merchants of Havana, as bondsman
for $4,000 Rathbone was obliged 10
go to the guardhouse to night be-
cause the Judge ruled that GAMBIA
could not go on the bond without the
consent of his business partner.
Rathbone's lawyer brought Senior
GAMBIA to the courtroom at noon,
and after two hours argument the
Judge said that he was willing to
accept GAMBIA as bondsman if the
military authorities were satisfied.
When an appeal was made to
Captain Scott he sent three aids to
report on Gam ba's financial standing.
All report favorably, and sent word
to the Judge that the military au-
thorities were satisfied as to the
financial qualifications of the bonds
man, and advised accepting him,
providing no impeachment should be
found. After consulting the law
firm representing the Government in
the case, the Judge ruled adversely
and Rathbone was taken to the
guard house.
One of the charges was that Rath-
bone paid his coachman, footman
and gardener from the postal funds
Another charge was that of taking So
day without authority. Other
charges allege that he drew warrants
amounting to $500 each for his per-
sonal use, and that no vouchers were
furnished.
Rathbone's lawyers say the bond is
unreasonable, as the amount of the
fraud alleged is not over 1000. They
insist that he will be released and
found innocent OF all charges. 1t is
also asserted that the two warrants
which figure in the case were not
cashed by Rathbone, but were part
of the defalcations charged up to
Nicely. They also say that the per
diem allowance arrangement has
never been officially discontinued,
and that nothing criminal can be at
tributed to Rathbone on any of the
charges.

Woodward Case Settled.

The refusal, on Friday, of DR.. Charles
E. Woodward, physician of New Egypt,
to pay the express charges. amounting to
$247, on the body of his son George, who
recently died at Denver, Col, of con
sumption, has caused sensation in that
quiet village. The young man had gone
west hoping to regain his lost health. As
soon as the news of his death came Mrs.
Woodward ordered the body to be sent on
by express. The parents of the deceased
recently separated, and while the father
would not pay the bill the mother could
not A religious difference between the
parents, it is said, has had something to
do with settlement of the case. At one
time the young man clerked in Mount
Holly for j. Sexton Folwell.
Yesterday, through the efforts of B. H..
White, the body was delivered to Mrs.
Woodward, with the consent of her hus-
band, DR.. Woodward. An agent of the
Adams Express Company visited New
Egypt yesterday to settle the matter. The
Representative stated that the local agent,
Carr, at New Egypt, is responsible for
the expressage, as he had telegraphed,
before the body was shipped from Denver
that he had received deposit from DR..
Woodward for the expressage. Itappears,
however, that the deposit had not been
made DIR. Woodward offered to give a
check to Agent Carr, which the latter re-
fused as the rules of the Express Company
require payments to be made in currency.
The Doctor then told the agent to order
the body shipped and he would pay the
charges upon its arrival. This was done,
and then the father refused to pay.
An effort will be made to collect the
money from Dr. Woodward.

Minister Exonarated.

Rev. A. V. Lonier, pastor of the Vim
centown and Buddtown NJ E. Churches,
was given attention on Tuesday, by Pre-
siding Elder Lake, on a charge made by
the board of stewards Of the Buddtown
Church, with being too familiar with one
of his flock.
The ministers heretofore appointed at
Vincentown have always had consider
able trouble with the Buddtown charge
and Mr.. Lonier has been no exception to
the rule. He was appointed to the charge
by the last conference. In a short time
the long tongues of some of the Buddtown
people began to loosen up and whenever
Mr.. Lonier would make a pastoral call
in the vicinity of Buddtown the gossipers
would start out with renewed vigor.
Presiding Elder Lake was appealed to
and made thorough investigation into
the matter. After hearing the charges
and making diligent inquiry, he decided
that Rev Mr.. Lonier was not guilty
and relieved him of the Buddtown
charge The church there will be with
out pastor until the next conference.
Mr.. Lonier has since resigned his charge
at Vincentown and removed to another
location.
