Late Yesterday afternoon stranger
walked into the offices OF City Sergeant

have every reason 70 believe that Topeka
joe has been located in Baltimore. and
have come to Richmond TO consult with
City Sergeant Smith about the matter"
Deputy Macon jumped across the room.
found one of his assistants and hurredly
dispatched the stranger TO the jail, where
Mr. Smith was supposed to be at that
time. On arriving al the prison the visitor
was told that the City Sergeant had gone
10 his office and that he had better call
on him there
HATCHER, THE DETECTIVE.
The BaItirlorean left, but before doing
so took time to hand his card to Deputy
that the caller was J. E. Hatcher. super
intendent of the American Detective
Agency. with offices in Baltimore.
Mr.. Hatcher had but little to say about
his mission further than to remark that
he was satisfied that Joseph RapIey, the
noted bank robber, who on the night OF
September I'd made his escape from the
Richmond jail, was in the Monumental
City and could be returned to Richmond
at any time He added that his men had
been watching the man supposed 10 be
Topeka joe for some days. and were
satisfied that they were on the right
track.
MISSED THE. SERGEANT.
The detective was weli-Iressed. and had
the accent peculiar to Ealtimoreans These
who heard him at the jail are OF the
opinion that he is sincere in his belief that
he actually has Topeka joe under his
thumb. After leaving the Jail Mr.. Hatcher
went to Mr.. Smiths place of business down
town. but there he again missed the City
Sergeant Since then all trail has beer
lost of him and he seems to have as mys-
terfoussly disappeared as the bark-rohber
did on the night Of September I'd. Inquiry
at all the Richmond hotels failed to elicit
the information that any such person
was stopping at either of them.
MAY MEET TO-DAY.
Mr. Smith was seen at O'Clock and again
at midnight. and although ne, too had been
making diligent efforts 10 find Mr.. Hatcher.
ne failed completely and finally gave up
the quest until this morning. when ha
hopes the Baltimore detective will again
call OF his office and surrender. at least
for the time sufficient for a short con-
ference.
Sergeant Smith said he had no idea who
Hatcher was but that if there was the
slightest chance of his knowing anything
about the whereabouts of Topeka Joe
Mr. Hatcher was Just the man he wanted

WASHINGTON GRANITE,

A representative of the WATERMAN AND
JOURNAL attended the secoI d lecture OF the |
Rev. George l. Story of Milton on Wash |
ington granite given at Washington, No
vember % to large audience. The speak
er's knowledge of geology and " de Obser-
vations of the marble and granite in u.s.
tries of the State, coupled with the fact that
since his first lecture he had made thor
ough investigation Of his subject and had
personally visited the quarries and works
of the Warner Granite company and knew
whereof he spoke, not only made this lee.
ture OF special. interest but gave it the
weight of conviction.
He stated that test OF the fire proof
qualities OF Washington granite, made un-
der his personal observation, proved to his
satisfaction that the stone possessed greater
merit for building purposes than any stone
ever placed on the market. A letter from
Prof G. H. Richardson of Hanover, n. Ii.
was read which stated that recent test
proved conclusvely that this stone offered
q much greater resistance to the cubic inch
than any American marble. A section of
the State geOlogist's report to the Legisla-
ture, bearing upon the Washington deposit,
was read and considered a glowing testi-
monial to the virtues OF the stone.
Letters were also read from several of
the largest granite dealers in America stat
ing that samples received from the Warner
Granite Co, were in every way satisfactory
aud that they were DESTROYS Of handling the
stone. 1t was clearly shown that from an
artistic standpoint this stone was superior
for monumental work to any stone now on
the market, because OF its susceptibility to
a hard polish and the marked contrast be-
tween the polished and hammered surface.
Although the superiority of Vermont mar
BILE and granite deposits are recognized
throughout the United States, and mar
ket for the product fully established, yet
there is a growing demand among dealers
and consumers for new and novel mate
rial for monumental work and building
purposes. Washington people have been
waiting for term of years, quietly watch
ing the marvellous growth of the Ceramic
City" of Barre, one of the largest granite
centers in the United States, and the steady
growth of the marble City" at Rutland
and her chief industry, where is found the
largest marble companies in the world. 1t
would seem that golden opportunity has
come to them at last; that just at the dawn
ing of new century, while the American
people are eager TO grasp something new in
a ma erial for monumental work and build
ing purposes, Washington comes to the
front not with an ordinary marble or gram
lite but with stone peculiar to itself, which
for the purpose named, is pronounced by
biologists and experts superior to any stone
ever before unearthed
AS previously stated in these columns,
capital is the only thing necessary 10 de-
velop these quarries; and now the stone is
80 thoroughly advertised and its merits so
fully understood it is believed that capital
will be forthcoming aud the near future see
Washington and her granite industry among
the foremost of the State.

buyers are as anxious and urgent az they
were last week. Supplies here are no doubt
very limited and 80 great is the shortage OF
cars that immediate relief is impossible
This, of course, is OF itself sufficient TO ac-
count for a general uneasiness, but when to
this is added grave apprehension that the
quantity OF spruce lumber all told will be
ms fficient for the winters demand, pur
chasers' disquiet is fully accounted for,
The great ms jority Of the mills, OF course.
have now ceased running. 1t need hardly
be added that, under all the circumstances,
the advances recently noted are retained
The lack OF spruce boards is a very y omi

reasonable.
