Yates of Embarrassment.

The political storm raised in Illinois
over the appointment of c. H. Payson.
a Kansas ex-convict, to a place as
member of the state claims commission
ended In Payson's sending his resigna-
ton to Governor Yates yesterday and
its prompt acceptance Payson was a
member of the board one week.
The politicians dug up his record in
Kansas and ousted him. This record
shows that Payson spent Is months of
a hve-year sentence in the Lansing
penitentiary, having been sentenced

frauding Mrs Lena McNeill and being
pardoned by Governor st. John

The Missing Ship Manchester
Lies a Total Wreck.
Details Of Catastrophe May
Never Be Made Known.
FOOTPRINTS IN SAND
Show That Woman and Children
Got Ashore Alive.
Marks of Boats Indicate They
May Have Escaped.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-Beyond a
reasonable doubt the missing ship
Manchester which sailed with a cargo
of kerosene for Yokohama has been
found. She lies a total wreck on the
desert island Of Pikar, in the Marshall
group. How many persons survived
the loss of the vessel is not known. but
it is certain that a woman and her
children landed on the island. Their
footprints remain on the sands Of the
beach.
The Manchester was a four-masted
steel ship of 2,S51 tons register. COM
m anded by Captain Clemens. She was
posted as missing at Ldoyds on May 10
of this year, after 80 per cent. insur-
ance had been paid on her A private
letter received on the Australian steam
81 Sonoma relates the finding OF the
wreck The writer says:
"A mysterious shipwreck was re-
ported from Sydney, July is, by Cap
tain Henry of the island trading
steamer Archer, which recently touched
at Jaluit. one OF the Marshall group.
Here it was learned that the island
trading cutter belonging 10 a German
firm at Jaluit had found parts Of the
hull Of a large ship and over 400 cases
of kerosene StreWu along the shores
Of Pikar island
.aThe island is uninhabfted. but in
walking along the beach the crew of
the cutter came across footprints and
traces which showed that someone had
been there. Among the footprints were
those of a woman and several children
THE conclusion arrived at was that
a portion of the crew had landed on
the island, the survivors including the
captains wife and family. Marks on
the beach also disclosed the fact that
two boats were hauled up on the beach
and were subsequently launched. Con-
tinuing along the beach the cutters
crew found the body of a man washed
up which was badly decompOsed, but a
Certihcate-that of a chief ofiicer-was
found in one of the pockets and turned
over to the German governor of the
islands"
In shipping circles it is said that the
wreck is undoubtedly that of the Man
chester.

MISSING GIRr. FOUND?
Detention Of Nellie Cropsey Doubted
 by Family.


 ELIZABEAa N414, x. C., Dec. D. detention there of woman partially Identified as Miss Nellie Cropsey has created little interest here among the girls family or officials of the town. Il is believed here that this same wonan and her companion were examined at Speed, N. C., by an agent of Chief of Police Dawson several days ago and found not to be Miss Cropsey, though resembling her.
 An expert diver spent the day searching the bottom of the river above the pier near the Cropsey house ill the hope of finding the body, but discover. ed nothing. No clue of value has yet been found. and the strange case is practically in the same position it was the day after the girl disappeared.
 At S:45 last night Chief of Police Dawson received n telegram from the chief of police of Wilson, N. C., giving description of the Durham woman It does not at all answer to Nell Crop sey's description.
 The report from Wilson is to the eff feet that on Monday couple giving the names of Mr. and Mrs. Mackay Durham stopped at Wards boarding house there Monday evening Durham was found drunk and disorderly on the streets and locked up, remaining in the town guardhouse throughout the night. Tuesday, when Durham was sober, he was released from custody and he, with his supposed wife, left in q buggy for Nashville, N. c.
 At this juncture the town authori ties suspected the couple to be Miss Nellie Cropsey and Mr. Durham ot Elizabeth City both of whom disap peared from that city on Wednesday night, Nov. 21. They were pursued by two policemen on each road leading out of Wilson to Turkey Creek, about < fifteen miles north of here, where they were arrested by Policemen Felton and Bryant and brought back to towr yesterday.
 Miss Tyer, who was a playmate of Miss Nellie Cropsey for four years and who is now at school here, was called on to identify Miss Cropsey. She testi fled that for -four years she has not seen her, but the girl in custody resem- bles Nellie very much; that when she knew her her hair was lengthy; that her features were identically the same.'' She will be held in custody un- til parties arrive from Elizabeth City. The alleged Miss Cropsey says she has been married only few days. She seems to be deeply distressed. She ap- ff ho nIn nf age and is good looking. She has an in telligent face, speaks very clearly and while being questioned by Mayor Her ring said many things contradictory to Durham's statements.

 Many residents Of this section arc j wondering why there isn't foreign money order system established at tllc sub-postal station at Walkers pharna- cy. At present money orders may he sent to all parts of the United States, but none can be sent across the water. Many persons apply daily at the sub postal station for foreign money orders only to receive the answer that none are issued there, and that the people i have to walk up town to the postofiice , to get such orders. This appears strange. II would be of an immense benefit to the people in this section If foreign order system was put into effect at the sul'-postal station. owing to the fact that there are so many for. eigners living in this section who man. age to save . few dollars to send low and then to some relatives in tho coun- tries across the water.

 RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 5.--A shoot Ing in Westmoreland county last night resulted ill the death of William F. Taylor. Jr.. and H. N. Heflin and the serious and maybe the mortal wound Ing of J. T. Stiff Herbert Marks did the shooting. The difficulty, it is said, grew out of the charge that Marks in- suited Rosa Taylor. the pretty seven teen-year-old cousin Of the man who was killed.
 Marks, who is New York man, lives near Colonial Beach. ill old West moreland county. All those concerned in the affair are well connected. Last night Taylor, Stiff and Hefiin and some other young men went to Marks home to chastise him, but he refused to ad- init them and warned them not to pro ceed., They attempted to force the door,
 From the upper part of the building Marks then opened fire upon them with a Winchester rife. His first shot struck Taylor near the heart, killing him in stantly. The fire was kept up until Stiff and Hef1in fell. both wounded, whereupon Marks sent word to the sheriff that he was ready to surrender. Heflin is the son of the sheriff of King George, the adjoining county. Taylor father is the wealthiest man in West moreland

THE "FoR" BALLOTS.
The Hartford Times Talks on Effort to
 Ihwart Will of the People.

At Waterbury, Tuesday afternoon the republicans began legal procpad ings to contest the title of Mayor ixil duff, democrat, to his office, and to thwart the expressed will of the voters ill the municipal election held on Oct1- Der [. As heretofore explained in thc Times, 79l of the democratic ballots cast in the third ward were printed with the word for before the words town clerk" The error was known to the chairmen of both the democratic and republican town committees ofi Inc day of the election, and it Is reported that there was an understanding if rot a definite agreement between them that the error in the ballots should br regarded simply as a printers blunder, and that the republicans would take no advantage of the fact. if the demo cratic candidates won. That there was some such understanding appears ey.- dent from the fact that no action has been taken by the republican managers until just one day before t~> end of the sixty days within which they could contest the election. On election night Mayor F. c. Kilduff was declared elected over Judge George H. Cowel by 442 votes. Throwing out tho T0l democratic ballots referred 10 would re- suit i'll q plurality of 349 for Judge Cowell. It would also result in rho busting of every democratic official who wns elected excepting Town Clerk Brett and Tax Collector Thoms. whose plnralities were so large that they aye safe.
 The republicans have apparently been inclined to discourage any 0lan to upset the election. and Chairman Kellogg of their town committee said. in a recert interview that his commit tee. or q party organization, would take no steps. However heavy praset1re has been brought upon Judge Cowrll, and the reDnblican candidates for some Of the inferior offices have been psDc- cially urgent. The result was that on Tuesday afternoon papers were pre- pared bv Lawyers Br1rDee and Peasley in hehalf of Judge Cowoll and were served mon Mayor Kilduff. It Is ans t'rinated that other republican cantli- dates may follow his example.
