Bookkeeper Lea and J. p Brady, q
Wholesale Merchant, Implicated
LEAFS Whereabouts I'm
known.

NASHVILLE. TENN, Nov. PA
sensatlou was caused here this at
ternoon when J. p. Brady, of the
wholesale grJcrly and liquor firm OF
Conner d Brady, conducting an tX-
tenslve business on Broad street,
was ARE sted by United States Mar
shal OveralI OF warrant sworn out
by Cashier f. o Watt, of the First
National Bank, of THIS city, chang
Ing Brauy with cOllu-iOn with w .
w. Lea, formerly indiv dual book
keeper of the bauk, in 0efrauding
tire Institution 10 the extent OF sos,
900. Shortly after the arrest came
the announcement that La, who
appears to be deeply involved, mad
left for parts unknown, and that de-
tectives are now making an effort to
locate him. Owing To the fact that
both men stood hIgh in commercial
circles and wele we'll connected, the
defalcatiOn has caused d great deal
fexcitement.
Late this AFTERNOONS Brady was ar
raigned before Uulted States Com
missioner Farrell aud his prelimin-
airy trial set for Friday. Tie mer
cnant appealed to several old irieuds
to 90 on his bond. but they refused
20 ign as security TO a $40 900 paper
Finally a relative, Il. j. Mooney,
came to his rescue, and as Brady
was about to 90 to all he gave bohd
in the sum If $4,000 for his APP
pearaLce.
The pecultations have been carried
on for period extending from May
/, 1893, until July ID 1900, when
BoUkkeeper Lea went of Oh his reg
uIar two weeks vacation. The fail
ure of Lea to retuln at the expiration
of two weeks caused little comment
among the bank officials, as he had
been for twenty-five years one of the
most trusted employees.
Finally, at the end of three weeks,
no tidings having been received by
the bank or the family of Lea as to
his whereabouts, an investigation
was instituted by the bank into the
affairs of the missing accountant. 1t
was discovered that the accounts OF
Conner Brady were crooked aud in
dicated that The bookkeeper, un-
known to the bank officials, had
carried large Overdraft IN favor OF
this n m.
After probing the matter to the
bottom an expert found that false
entries aggregating 500 900 Uad been
made by the book keeper as to this
account by increas ing the amount ot
deposits on the journals and by de-
creasing the amount of the checks
drawn on the bank. following tins
with a false extension of balances.
According to the books, 1t appears
that upon one day the bOokkeeper
would make an entry defrauding the

"Do you see that man with the dark
nustachey" said Sherlock Holmes, Jr.
"Yes. DO you know him?".
81 never saw him before. He is mar
rled. He ought to live in fiat, but
doesn't. His wife is afraid of the
hired girl, and he is left handed"
"Mr. Holmes, you are an everlasting
marvel. How can you tell that about a
man you don't know and whom you
never saw beforeP'
Look at the second knuckle on his
left hand. You see, 1t Is badly skinned,
Also there Is black mark on his left
cuff. Now let us see what we must
make of this. When left handed man
pokes up the furnace fire, how does he
do It? BY putting his left hand for
ward, of course. Thus it happened
that 1t was his left hand which scraped
against the furnace door. The black
ened cuff shows that 1t was furnace
door, Having this foundation to work
upon. the rest Is easy, If he lived In a
nat, he would have no furnace to look
after and If his wife were not afraid
of the hired girl they would make the
latter do the poking mp. 1t is all very
simple If ones perceptive faculties are
properly trained. He can't really af-
ford to live In house, because If he
could he would have man TO look aft
err the furnace. Therefore he ought to
live In fat"
"But hold on. How do you know the
man is married? He can't be over 80
at the most. Why may II not be possi'
BILE that he lives at home with his wild
owed mothers"
'My dear SIR" said Sherlock Holmes,
Jr., II am surprised at your lack Of
persplcacity, III he lived at home with
his widowed mother, he would permit
her to tend to the furnace herself."-

THE SOLDIERS LIFE

Only to stand in the red of the fray,
Only to battle for glory, you say;
Only 20 leap to the bright song OF death,
Murm'ring, "My countryl' with fast heetini
breath;
This is the life Of the soldier, you dream,
Wreathed with The dag In the battles red gleam
Night on the road, and the mud to his hips!
Visions OF little ones leaning with lips
Just to be kissed through the dream and desire
Sweetheart and home hearts and love by the FIRE
This is the life Of a soldier, to fare
Far from the tenderness waiting him there
Mourn on the march and the war drums ahead,
Beating the call to the battle, the tread
OF legions gone down In the ranks in the van.
On to the 'front.' file by file, man by mani
Soldier, so valiant, so brave and so true,
Honor and glory TO yours and to you!
Noon on the feld and the battles fierce heat
Flamed to the faces unfaltered that meet
Death in the fash OF the shot ana the she'll,
The crash Of the cannon, the red, roaring hell;
Still meath the folds OF the flag doth he fight,
True to his country and true to the righti
Night on the hills. and, oh, the wide eyes
Under the shadow and grief OF the skiesi
Night In the hamiets where broken hearts wait
In vain for the heroes that fought against fate!
This is the life OF the soldier-some time

New Departure In Roof
ing Tile.
Only Structure In County
Covered With Them.
Visiting Largest Laundries In United
States.

Architects Charles Henry Il Son
have completed the plans for the plant
of the Akron Engineering Company.
Bids will be received in short time.
A number of Akron contractors are fig
uring on the job.
Both buildings will be built of brick
with slate roofs. The machine shop
will be 36x60 nd the foundry 9Gx75.
The last named will be two stories in
height. 1t is estimated that the cost
of both structures, exclusive of ma
chinery will be $4,000. The company
will build an Office separate from the
works.
CEMENT TILE ROOF.
A novelty in roofs will cover the new
residence of John Walsh, at Cuyahoga
Falls 1t is to be the only structure in
Summit county with a cement tile
roof The tiles are made at Pittsburg
and in appearance do not differ from
the red clay tile mde in this city. The
manufacturers claim several things
for the cement tile They are not
burned, being molden and allowed to
harden. 1t is said that there is no
warp and they are fully as durable as
the clay.
HAVE COMMENCED WORK. :
The Hankey Lumber Company,
which has the contract for the erection
of the Office building of the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company, has com.
menced work on the structure. 1t will
be one of the finest in the city.
BIDS FOR MACHINERY.
The contracts for the machinery to
be placed in the plant of the Akron
Laundry Company have not been
closed. Figures will be submitted in
a short time. The representatives OF
| the company are visiting some of the
largest laundries in the country.

from all reports, saved us twice right
in these same waters In less than two
years and we should all love her
Our boys, since then, have fought side
by side with her boys in China, and
those who saw the operations say
that the troops of other nations looked
upon them with awe as together they
stormed the walls there.
People at home cannot imagine the
warm feeling that exists between
America and England If they could
see our soldiers and sailors here drink
ing good old lager with English sol.
dlers and sailors, they could soon see
what friends we are. 1t is common
occurrence to see a young American
wearing q British uniform, and a
Britisher wearing an American uni
form. But you don't see Britishers
or Americans wearing any other uni
forms.
One instance few weeks ago Is
where a young American in a Brit
ish uniform, with the Union Jack
tattooed upon his breast walked up
to a Brisisher, in the American uni
form, who had the American Eagle,
Old Glory and the Stars and Stripes
tattooed ON his heart. The American
born British soldier said to the Brit
ish born American soldier: aren't
you ever going to whip these mig
gers?' The British born retorted.
"Ain't you ever going to whip the
BoersW And then it was come in
and drink, as it was horse and horse,
SO any true American ought to have
sense enough to know his friend. If
England was to fight America she
would kill her own born sons. And
If we were to fight England we should
kill native Americans. never want
to fight England, but any time l can
fight for her, count me in. l used to
blow about what we could do to her
as much as anybody, but God help a
man that would try to insult an Eng
lish soldier in the presence of an
American in the Philippine Islands.
We are brothers, and are united with
bonds as strong as those that link the
north and south into an eternal union.

Gen. Mercier Declares
Invasion Easy.
Was Rebuked by the Govern
ment's Officials
For Speaking so Boldly Upon That
Subject.

Paris, Dec. 5-(Spl.) )-General Mer,
cier caused deep sensation In the
Senate yesterday during the debate
on the naval bill by pointing out the
ease by which England could be in
vaded He demanded that the gov
ernment introduce into the plans for
mobilization Of the army the navy
methods, rapid embarkation and de-
barkation Of an expeditionary corps.
The president NJ. Fallieres, inter-
vened, declaring that such proposals
were out Of order.
In the course Of his extraordinary
speech MERCER said:
'Tn view of the possibility of war
with Great Britain, the army is not
taken sufficiently into account. The
times are not the same as they We're
hundred years ago. Steam, the
navy, the telegraph, and the rail
road have rendered the problem Of
the invasion of England much easier
of solution. Moreover, England her.
self Is no longer the same. The Trans
vaal war has shown that the British
army, although brave, is not equal
to the task which England expected
it to perform. The British navy is
powerful, but 1t has many coasts to
defend.
France, therefore, Is numerically
England's equal at certain points and
is even her superior in the instru.
ments of destruction. History fur.
nishes many instances of mutiny In
the English navy Mt the moment of
battle. A landing In England is,
therefore, not beyond realization
This is not only my opinion, but that
also of high naval officers. The Brit.
ish Premier recently expressed slgnl-
cant fears and, If the principle of land
ing is admitted, the practical means
of execution may be discussed.
II venture to think that the work
| prepared while commanding an
army corps could serve as a basis fol
such project which would not be
expensive"
At this point protests were raised
and NJ. Fallieres asked General Mer.
cier not to enter into the details of
the scheme. General Mercier replied
that the scheme could be ''held over
the heads of England like the sword
of Damocles,' and he proposed n res,
olutlon that the Senate should invite
the government TO complete imme,
dlate preparations for the mobiliza.
tlon of the army and navy by pre-
pairing everything necessary to EN-
bark and dlsembark ms rapidly as
possible an eXpedltlonary corps.
Protests were raised from various
benches, and NJ. De Lenessan, Min,
lister of Marine followed the presi,
dents ruling that the motion was out
of order in the present debate by de-
clarlng amid cheers that the govern
ment could not possibly accept II.
