The Newbern Fair in Poetry.

The bright rosy light discernible in the
sky to the southeast these mornings can
now be explained by the following pas
sage from the Durham Herald 'Tis of
the Newbern Fair he sings:
Down in the fork of the Neuse and
Trent rivers, where the waters gently
ripple the year round; where ancient
elms shade the bsoad Streets where Lord
DeGrafenreid settled his Swiss colony in
the early days; where Governor Tryon,
the last CT the royal Governors, through
the influence of his Cleopatra like sister
in-law, the beautiful Esther Wake, en-
ticed the council to give him enough
money to build a palace of oriental gran
deur; where scme of the best of God s
creation reside, nestles the city of New
bern. These people are to have their
thirteenth annual fair April Is to "a in
elusive. If you have ever attended one
CT these fairs, it would be unnecessary
to say that it far exceeds anything OF
it's kind in the South.
No wonder Newbern bushes like a
bashfu1 maiden and her bushes are pref
tily reflected on the sky.

Ryan Engineered the Deal.

1t is said that Thomas +. Ryan, who is
fighting the Seaboard's consolidation
plans, is the man who arranged the deal
whereby the Metropolitan syndicate Sc
cured absolute control of the Third Ave-
nue. Company's affairs in New York.
Ryan is Whitneys man and brokers say
that this last deal of his was the shrewd
est fnanciering manoeuvre played since
the days Of Jay Gould. Ryan bought the
floating Third Avenue stock through dunn
my out -of-town buyers, and thus threw
the knowing ones in Wall street off their
guard, and in less than one week secured
for $4,000, coo what a year ago would have
cost three times that sum.

watched the webbing of the stock of

The information comes from Populist

added:
Our folks couldn't be held in line

From these and other conversations
of a similar nature with leading Republic
cans here, it is evident that there has
as yet been no agreement as to how the
ticket shall be divided, or if there has,
only Butler and Pritchard know the
terms of the agreement.
In fact one Republican officeholder was
very positive that no such agreement
had been reached but he thought it
would be agreed upon pretty soon.

A POSTAL CLERKS QUEER THEFT.
Mr., Gregory Finds Thief Who Stole Only 90
Cents in Five Years. ~

A queer theft by a postal clerk has
just been unearthed by Postal Inspector
H. T. Gregory, formerly of this State.
but now of Philadelphia.
BY shrewd detective work Mr.. Greg
DRY caught Adam Hoffman, who, for II
years has been a trusted servant Of the
postal service and who is prominent
man In Harrisburg, Pa, defrauding the
Government by using postage stamps al
ready cancelled on letters which reached
his hands unstamped but with the money
attached to pay the postage.
Hoffman's case is one of the most Curl
Gus on record The profits he derived
could not have been more than S. year
at the outside. 1t had only the advant-
age of being almost sure to escape unde
tected Only by an accident was it dis
covered that there was anything wrong.
The attention of the postal authorities
was first directed to Hoffman in Febru-
airy last, when he missed one of his trips
and a mail pouch was lost at Powelton
avenue station, Philadelphia Hoffman
failed to make search for the missing
mail matter, and an examination of his
car revealed the presence in a drawer Of
several cancelled postage stamps. This
fact in itself might not be suspicious
since the tossing of mail bags in transit,
and even the sorting of letters, often dis
places the stamps affixed at the time of
mailing.
Postal Inspector H. T. Gregory, of the
Philadelphia office, investigated the case
and a dozen decoy letters were used du-
ring the month to test the integrity of
the suspected postal clerk. The letters
were all delivered into Hoffmans hands
by various mail messengers along his
but accompanying each was the money to
pay for stamps. The postal authorities
charge that in passing these letters
through his railway postoffice Hoffman
used two one-cent and ten two-cent can
celled stamps, defrauding the Govern
ment of % cents.
PINHOLES IN pECOY STAMPS.
Postal Inspector Gregory at various
airy visited Hoffmans postal car during
the latter's absence, and placed cancelled
stamps, which he had marked with PIN
hole, in places where they might be found
by the suspected clerk. Some of these
stamps were placed in a drawer, some
were left loose on shelf, and others
were thrown carelessly, as if by accident,
on the floor of the car. All but one or TWO
were used on the decoy letters which he
caused to be placed in the hands of Hoff-
man.
