A lOUGH OLD ,3-T,
ADMIRAL AeDDel HaA Spent q Life
time in the British Marine
Service,

The Keppel family, Of England, OF
which the brave old admiral bearing
the name is member. is notorious for
its toughness. Sir Harry, as the ad-
miral is called, was conspicuous among
the guests at Lady Mary Keppsl's wed
ding couple of weeks ago. Sir Harry
retired from the royal navy in 1879,
afer spending no less than 81 years in
that service. In the China war of 81
years back, he had command of the
Dido. and won distinction, and he was
quite an old fighting hand when he
served in the Baltic and Black seas dur
ing the Crimean war. After the close
of the Crimean campaign he returned
to China and covered himself with
glory in the desperate work in Fat
shan creek. keppel bay, in Borneo.
now an old-es:a ablisheG settlement. was
called after him. Forty years ago h.
asked the electors of his beloved Ports
mouth to let him go to parliament, but
they insisted on keeping him to the
quarter deck. The admiral is a fine
specimen of the old-fashicned sea dog
and is as young yet as many who might
be his grandchildren.

WOMAN AIDED o0UNTERFEITERs
Sylvester Follows up Jail Talk and Finds
Counterfeit Money.

Again yesterday United States Commits
sioner John Nichols investigated the
counterfeiting case in which r. c. High,
Raleigh carpenter, and Jubal Emery, a
Wake county farmer are implicated.
Emery is out on bond, but High is in
jail. After the hearing yesterday he was
sent back to Jail in lieu of friends to
stand by him to the extent of $500
bond, and woman, Mrs. Mangum, who
lived with Jubal Emery, is also behind
the bars, charged with being an assistant
in the counterfeiting business.
The developments of yesterday came
about through the work OF H. r. Syl-
vester, who, some days ago was in jail
charged with taking drummer's shirt,
but was later released. While in jail
Sylvester obtained information from
High about his counterfeiting outfit, and
on his release he went to work to ferret
out the case. He found the moulds from
which the counterfeit money was made,
and also some of the money at the house
of Emery. The evidence that he had col
lected showed that Mrs. Mangum had
assisted in the illegal work, hence her
arrest and confinement in Jail.

(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Oct 19.--George Armitage,
the missing messenger of the bank of
New Amsterdam, walked into the Ten
derloin' police station today and gave
himself up He declined to make any
statement as to the missing funds of the
bank amounting to $1,000.
tits no use sergeant" he said, you
can't pump me. have decided to say
nothing until see my lawyer and maybe
won't say anything then"
Armitage only had $31.40 on him when
arrested. He was the messenger for the
Bank OF New Amsterdam, and after his
disappearance drafts and collections rep
resenting many thousands of dollars were
returned to the bank by mysterious col
ored woman who has not yet been found
by the police. This incident gave rise to
a theory of foul-play, which the police
later discredited. Armitages accounts,
according to the bank officers shows a
shortage of IS, $780, of which sum $4,000
is covered by a fidelity bond.
Before Armitage was locked up he
turned to the police reporters and boast-
fully said: II don't mind telling you fell
lows that l was at the Gotham Theatre
in East New York last night and saw
East Lynne. Between the acts, went
out with a friend and was introduced to

station. | had long talk with them on
various subjects. After a while the con-
versation drifted to the Armitage case.
Neither of the policemen seemed to have
the slightest suspicion of me, though they
must have been furnished with descrip-
ton of me. Why, l talked with the SER
geant at the Both street station and be-
fore he suspected my identity: l had to
tell him fatty who / was before he would
take me into custody"
Armitage subsequently made a remark
able confession, which sent the police
scurrying after four supposed accomplices
who as alleged had in turn robbed the
dishonest bank messenger of practically
all the money he had stolen
Armitage said that he had met a wo-
man whom he knew only as Marie, at a
road house, which they both frequented.
She was a friend of the piano player in
the resort the wife of the piano player,
and a Yiolinist whc also furnished music
in the place, and Armitage was intro
duced to the party by Marie, became
friendly with all during a months init
macy.
Armitage said that after he stole the
money he got drunk and was unable to
return the checks. Marie and the wife of
the piano player agreed to do it for him,
and taking the bank wallet to Brooklyn,
hired a negro woman to return it to the
bank. Armitage said that as the woman
left him Marie suggested that she had
better take charge of the stolen money
for safety. Armitage said he gave up
the money and the women never came
back 1t is believed that the police have
the names of the entire party and will
arrest all four.

JUDGE FULLER DEAD
His Life Ended at One O'clock
This Morning,
Was Associate Justice Of U. S. Court Of Private
Land Claims and Dstng uished
Citizen Of N. c.

This morning at 1 o'clock Judge T.
q Fuller died at the Marlborough
House, where he was boarding.
He has been sick for long time,
and his sickness of late has been of
such a nature as to make the end not
an unexpected event. He has only late
ly returned to the city from Ashe-
VILE. where he went during the sum-
mer. in the hope that his sojourn there
would be of benefit to him. This
proved groundless hope, for on his
return he was much feebler than when
he left the city.
Judge Fuller was in the SEVENTEEN
year of his age. He was we'll known
man in North Carolina and has very
large circle of fiends and acquaintance,
to whom the news Of his death will
carry deep grief.
At this hour no definite arrangements
made, though it is intimated that this
will take place on Tuesday.
Thomas c. Fuller was one of the
justices of the Court of Private Land
Claims. He was native of Fayette-
vile and at an early age entered the
University of North Carolina. In 1850
he engaged in the mercantile business
in Fayetteville. In 1855 he began the
study of law under Chief Justice Pear
son and in 1856 began the practice of
his profession. Although Union
Wing in principle he took arms for the
South in 1861 and joined the Confeder-
ate army at the outbreak of hostilities
as the First Lieutenant Of Starts Bat
tery of Light Artillery.
He was member of the Confederate
Congress and was elected to the Con-
gress of the United States after the
close of the war. but like the other
Southern representatives was not al
lowed to take his seat.
About 1870 he removed to Raleigh
and former partnership with the late
Judge Merrimon and Capt. Samuel A.
Ashe. Afterwards, when Judge Mer-
rimon went on the bench, he formed
a partnership with Mr.. Geo. H. Snow:
This continued till 1890, when he was
appointed an Associate Justice of tt
Court of Private Land Claims of the
United States. This position he has
held until his death, in the SEVENTEEN
year Of his age.
There survive him six children, Mrs.
I. r. Hill, Durham, N. c., Mrs. w. E.
Borden, Goldsboro, n. c., Mrs. e. M.
Braxton, NEWPORT News, Va, w. w.
Fuller, New York, F. L. Fuller, Dur
ham, N. c., Jones Fuller, Durham,
N. G.
The brief sketch of the life of Judge
Fuller, written in the rush of going to
press tells but a 1.-THE of his history.
He was identified with much of the
political history of the State and was a
notable figure.
He was gentleman of fine address,
and his friendship was constant and
sincere. His legal career was distin-
guished one, and in point of ability he
took high stand. For his personal
qualities he was greatly admired and
these drew about him large circle of
friends, who will grieve to hear of his
death.

Is DE WET ALIVE OR DEAD!
One Boer Writes That He Died Of Gangrene
Another That.He'stilI Lives.
(By the Associated Press


Durham, Natal, Oct. 19.-General De
Vets recent inactivity has produced the
impression among military men that he
is either dead or incapacitated through
illness or wounds. According to a letter
from Pretoria prominent Boer recently
wrote to a friend there relating the ter
rible hardships suffered by the Beers in
the field, especially from lack OF sur
geons.
ode Wet, for example" wrote this
Boer, Suffered the most terrible agony
before he died. He was wounded in the
shoulder by splinter from she'll and
the wound gangrened owing to it's being
dressed with dirty rags"
Five Beers captured at different places
recently, said De Wet was dead, but each
gave a different version of his death.
Against these reports is statement of
Pet de Villiers, the field cornet recently
taken prisoner in the northeastern part
of the Orange River Colony, who said
that on the morning of his canture he
took breakfast with General De Wet.
