WHO Is THE PREVARICATOR ?
On day last week the senior member
of we'll known firm received an order
to do some repairing in q residence on
Royal street. He sent the Junior men,
Der of the firm, who did the Work. BIT
ing asked to make out his bill, he pre-
sented the same to the gentleman on
Royal street, who considered the bill
rather stiff for the amount CT work
done and material furnished, where.
upon the junior member stated that he
had informed the senior member OF the
firm, who made out the bill. that 1t was
too high, and said he would send him
up to correct the matter. When the
latter appeared and was asked whether
he had not made a mistake, he very in-
nocently inquired what the junior mem
Der had charged, and when the infor.
nation he pretended to be seeking was
given he Immediately remarked that
the bill was unreasonable and that the
other membe of the firm had charged
too much, and gladly made the desired

SPIRITS TOLD WHERE BODY LAY

SPIRITS TOLD WHERE BODY LAY
Substantially as a spiritualistic medi-
um had predicted four weeks ago
would be the case, the body of the
fourth victim in the Hummel tragedy
near Montgomery, Pc, that of the
t'aby-w found at l o'clock las
Thursday morning. When the bodies
of Mrs. Hummel and her two children
were found beneath straw pile IN
Black Hole Valley, on the night OF
December %, the whereabouts of her
third child was unknown. When Hum
mel, the rag psddler, was arrested next
day charged with the murder of his
wife and step-childreD he asked wheth-
or they had found the baby too. Since
then the authorities have done every
thing imaginable to learn the fate Of
this child. On Wednesday letter was
received in which the writer Informed
the authorities that the baby's body
was buried in the horse stable near the
Hummel house, and there they found
it Thursday morning. The head OF the
child was crushed to fragments, as
were the skulls of Mrs. Hummel and
the other two children. The verdict OF
the coroner's jury named Hummel as
the murderer. There is report there
that the letter which the authorities
say impaired the information was a
decoy letter, which when read 10 the
prisoner caused him to confess.

Some months ago there was great
controversy in our city in regard to the
quality of the gravel (?) that was being
used on Commerce street. One COM
mittee on streets, and also an expert
they brought here from abroad, pro-
nOunced it to be of the very best quail
ty. Nevertheless. after it was finished.
they put thin coating of good gravel
on top it. If any one who is inter
es,ed 10 this matter will take the
trouble to 60 up to that street. any day
after rain, and look at it, and then
take look at Payne street, between
Commerce and Duke, he Can easily
form his own conclusion. II we have
