Hughlett. formerly Of Randolph Macon
Academy. at Bedford City, who mysterI-
ously disappeared about two years ago. is
on his way home from San Francisco.
Mr.. Hughlett left home mysteriously
Iune 10, 1898. and for a time 10 one knew
where he had gone. The board Of the
academy and all others had the highest
confidence in Prof. Hughlett. Year after
year the institution had been managed with
infinite care
Nobody yet knows how Hughlett got be
hind in his accounts. He had never lived
extTavGgantly and had no bad habits It
seems established now beyond question
that he had no purpose to defraud or wrong
anybody
At the close OF the session Of 1898
he was $1,000 short and was unable to
make the amount good. Then he disap-
peared and all. kinds OF theories we're put
forward. Some persons cOnteHded that hv
was demented and others that he had conf
mitted suicide His father-in-Iaw prompt
ly paid the amount Of the seeming short
age. Mr.. HughIett has made enough while
in the tie city OF the Golden Gate to pay

EostmaStert charged with Not De-

The charge Is being made against the
Postoffice Department by the Democratic
campaign managers that Republican post
masters have already begun the practice Of
preventing the delivery Of Democratic
campaign literature to the addresses.
The attention Of the Democratic man
ayers was first called to this alleged Of
fence BY complaints from many sources
that Democratic speeches asked for. and
which had been sent, had not been receiv-
ed The amount CT matter miscarrying be-
ing large, and in view OF experience in
other campaigns, the conclusion was
reached that the Republican postmasters,
or at least the more bitterly partisan Of
them, were not delivering certain Of the
mail matter passing through their Offices.
The authorities CT the Postofiee Depart
ment deny that any formal complaint has
as yet been made to them concerning the
