CHARGED WITH LYNCHING.


Newport News. Va. Sept. civil
liam b. Dunton will not go to Chicago
before Thursday or Friday. When n
Pinkerton detective. who came over
here from Norfolk yesterday. informed
Dunton of the delay in his departure
for Chicago. the prisoner received the
news with evident disappointment. 1t
Is his expressed desire to return to
Chicago as soon as possible
Pinkerton Detective Mayo. who cf
fected the arrest of Dunton, was here
Monday and came back yesterday aft
crnoon for the purpose of informing
Dunton of the delay that is made ne
cessary by Judge Waddilrs decision
The other Pnkerton detective happen
ed to be ut the Jail yesterday and took
occasion to tell Dunton that he could
not be taken away until the latter part
of the week.
STORY OF DUNTCN'S CRIME.
William Il. Dunton. who. it is claim
ed, embeZzed 100000 from the Union
National Bank while in employ Of that
institution before its consolidation with
the First National Bank. will be
brought back to Chicago for trial.
When the Union National was con-
solidated with the First National Bank
some weeks ago some of the employees
OF the former were taken into the
First National. Dunton, who was the
most expert man in the bank, and il
said to be the best-informed man on
bank accounting in Chicago, If not in
the country, WAS not given a position.
This was not because IL was suspect
ed that there was anything wrong with
his accounts. but for the reason that
one of the bank officials who possess
ed some knowledge of Dunton'S past
history did not deem him trustworthy.
y If,x. nf1f Tor
tanned by the bank officials that his
accounts were wrong, and the first
clew that there might be something
wrong came from Mrs. Dunton, who
appeared at the bank asking for
knowledge of her husband who. she
said. had not been ut home for some
days. This circumstance started an in
had handled and Forbes, who knew
that he in time must be caught In the
net for his unwilling hand in the at
fair. sought to end his troubles by tax
ing his life.
The Pinkcrton detective agency was
asked by the American Bankers Asso
citation to look for Dunton. They ac-
cidentally learned that Dunton had a
passion for yachting. and II was
thought probable that his suddenly ac-
uuired wealth would suggest to him
that Yachting cruise would be about
the proper thing. He was traced to
Atlantic City, where he had obtained
the yacht Morgan for Il cruise in
Southern waters. He took with him
on the trip Dorothy Thurman. an in
mate Of Dearborn street resort"

Petersburg, Va, Sept. 2G.-Ten com

Dinwiddie and five from the county OF
Prince Gcorge-have been appointed to
establish the boundary line between
the two counties. 1t will be remem-
bered that n short time ago the Pc
tersburg railroad. which road forms n
part of the Atlantic Coast Line, was
rebuilt from AGREE Siding, in Dinwd-
die county. Il short distance from Pc
tersburg, to Stony Creek, in Sussex
county, which shortens the road about
one mile. This change necessarily left
old Carson Station off the line of the
road, and another station called Car
son was established. The question for
the commissioners now to decide is
whether or not this new Carson is in
Prince George or Dinwiddie county.
The whole matter involved is a ques-
tion of taxation.

taught In the graded schools Of Will
mington seven years, and one year in
one of the high schools of North Caro-
lima. She became proficient as type
writer and stenographer. In May 1896
she became the wife of Mr.. O. G. Stew
ard Of Bristol, Tenn, which city has
since been her home. For the past four
years she has been ass oeiated with
Messrs. Thompson and Steward as
private clerk to manager, clerk of all
Fishermen conven tions, and editor of
The Ship during the past three years.
Beside editorial work, Mis-. Steward
has added five thousand paid up sub
scribers and good many 'tdead heads"
She has also acted as general solicitor
for Fishermen plantations and has col
lected thousands OF dollars since last
February and bestowed nine hundred
worth of new household effects upon
the farm houses. She prides herself on
never having asked a white person for
a penny though many Caucasians have
contributed to the cause she represents.
She did not ask help from the white
race because she thinks 1t is high time
for the Negro to be sustaining.
Mrs. Steward has delivered one hun.
dred and fifteen free lectures since
March 1900 in the interest Of Fisher
men and the unfortunate Negroes of
the South. She is considered an able
fnancier, having placed the Juvenile
Department of Galilean Fishermen in
front ranks of secret organizations in q
short time.
Mrs Steward possesses journalistic
talent of the most exalted degree. The
tenor of The Ship has changed won
derfully since she assumed the editor
ship, and mum erous improvements have
been made. She has no political
tendencies. but having been associated
with a political father and husband for
years she has become remarkably in
teressed in and oonverssnt with poIlti'
cal questions. The Ship is neither demo
cratic nor republican, but is straight
out Independent, advising calmly and
judicialIy for men and measures, not
parties. She has established at Fisher
men, (Virginia,) plantation, in main
building, which she alone furnished
through friends at cost of five thous
and dollars, a room known as the edl
tors room, dedicated to and for use ot
worthy, newspaper men al d women to
whom she has succeeded in having the
Council of Fishermen grant weeks

MRS. ALICE STRANGE DAVIS.
A Memoir Fixing Her Place IN History
and Describing the Enduring Monu-
Xment Built by Herself in Devotion to
{ Duty and Nobility of Soul.

"Thls woman was full of good works
and alms-deeds which che did,"
This eulogtstic sentiment was ex
pressed concerning the life and labors
of Dorcas, and is recorded in the eighty
sixth verse of the ninth chapter Of the
Acts of the Apostles. 1t might with
equal force, have been applied to the
we'll rounded and successful career of
the late Mrs. Alice Strange Davis,
whose life was indeed full of good works
aims. deeds and sacrifices for the hap
piness of others. Her loss is not only
a bereavement to her immediate fami-
ly and friend. ALI Wash ngton, as
community, is mourner, for SO gen
erous was her nature, SO deep her sym
pathies and so unbiased her views,
that wherever she cou'd be of service,
wherever she could assist worthy
cause or spread ray of light, che gave
freely Of her time, talent and strength.
Individuals, high and low, have felt
the charm OF her music Churches,
regardless of denomin alton, have been
profited by her services Pupils have
been encouraged by her CHEEKY advice
and womanly tenderness. Those bowed
in grief have been made to look up be-
cause of her friendly counsel. Iu every
undertaking che was successful, be-
cause she always did her best, and
counted n trial too fficurt If 1t added
to the completeness Of an honorable
purpose.
In death as in life. Mrs Davis was
surround d by her friends. The cere.
| monies sttendipg her fuDeral at the
First Congregational churh were simple
but touchingly impressive. All whom
she had loved were there to pay last
tribute to her character and personal
worth The music was peculiarly ap'
propriate both in sentiment and artis-
tic phrase. The sermon by DR.. Ster-
ling N. Brown was masterpiece of
pathetic elt quence, and drew as only a
devoted friend and tr1e follower OF
Christ can portray, the magnificent
lesson that the life of Mrs. Davis taught
The surviving world, and estimated the
rich legacy she left to unborn genera,
tions. Mrs. Jesse Lawson's biographi
cal memoir wrote Mrs. DAVIS name
high on honor's scroll and gave her a
fitting place in the history that she did
so much to enlarge.
Alice Strange Davis built her own
monument in love, piety and filial duty.
It is more to be covete than shafts of
marble and tablets Of bronzs.
