from Wilson, N. G., Wednesday night
says:
Monday couple giving their names
as Mr.. snd Mrs. Mackay Durham

at nidday. n the evening Durham
was found drunk and disorderly on the
streets and locked up, and remained IN
the town guard house throughout the
night. No suspicion rested on the par
ties snd Tuesday, when Durham Was
sober, he vas released from custody
and be, with his supposed wife, left in
buggy for Asheville, n. O. At this
i7ncsuse the authorities suspected the
couple to be the Elizabeth City couple,
Miss Nailie Cropsey and Mr. Durham,
who disappeared from that city on
Wednesday night Of Nov. 2l. They
were pursued by two Of the city's po.
Ice force on each road leading out OF
Wilson on to Turkey creek, about 10
niles north Of here. They wore alrest-
ed By Polissnen FELTON, and Bryant and

when ohe knew her her hair was lengthy,
that her fsstures we're idsntically the

not az once recognize her, but was sure
it vas Miss Cropsy in her opinion.
Before rhs authorities this evening she

The alleged Miss Crcpsey says she has
only been married few days and s!so
she seems to be deeply distressed. She
appears to be- about II years old and is
indeed good looking and has an intelli-
gent fscs. While being questioned By
Mayor Herring she stated many things

under arrest.
were Mortified when they awolxe to find
that Adolph Rodgers had been murdered
by a burglar Frank OIiphant Donc-
van and the police searched for the
murderer. Donovan gave two officers
money with instructions to take a train
east on the Santa Fe and when eight or
ten miles from town to drop off and
scour the country toward Topeka They
followed his instructions and captured
Oliphant. That night Donovan was shot
at as he stood on the porch of the county
Jail in the ineHectual attempt to save
Oliphant from the mob which hung him.
Donovan faced the fire and fulIisade Of
stones as he knew it was his duty.
A couple of years ago a man was
robbed of his watch. He could not de-
scribe his assailants but he could de-
scribe his watch. From that rneagre in
formation Donovan landed Mary Mar
shall and Burly Hines in the peniten-
tiary for IS years apiece and Topeka
was ride of two notorious thieves. +. c.
Gays home was robbed one night and
the thief left behind his hat. From that
clue Donovan worked up a case which
landed the thief in the penitentiary.
It was but a sohrt time ago that Lot
tie Goerbrick was assaulted. Within IS
nOQ1S aIISr Inc crime was cOnTnlIJeQ
Donovan knew who was guilty and sent
two officers to Carbondale to arrest
''Slick" Slater.
One time Donovan arrested two men
who had 400 knives and several revol-
vers on them early one morning. A lit
tie later he received a telephone mess
age from Lawrence saying that a hard
ware store had been robbed. Donovan
had the men.
Hundreds of other stories of his cap
ture of thieves, forgers, pickpocKets and
bad men might be told but they count
nothing in his favor because he is not a
Republican politician.
The police force is weak enough
now. The really efficient criminal catch
ers of the department can be counted
upon the fingers of one hand and it
seems that if Chief Stahl and Mayor
Hughes wish to serve the city by giving
the people a police force that will be
menance to criminals and a safeguard
to property it would be we'll to retain
the few men who have some ability in
the line of police work. If it is to be
made up of political strikers then the
discharge of Donovan was justified for
he has kept aloof from politics.

consul general of Hayti in this city the
report is confirmed that the Haytian
government is trying to have a new
line of steamships established to ply

Before the last motion was put Dr.
George D. Baker of Philadelphia, offered
the following:
ssWhereas, The vote of the presbyteries
on creedal revision indicates an utter
lack of unanimity as to what should be
done in the matter and.
Whereas, This lack of unanimity
means a protracted period of contro-
versy and unrest in case the movement
for revision be persisted in. and
Whereas. The disturbance of the con-
fession of faith would be in the way of
union or reunion with other churches
now holding this symbol unimpaired,
which union is earnestly desired and
prayed for; therefore,
Resolved, That this general assembly
deems it inexpedient to proceed fur

This gave DR.. Dickey his chance to

that which the last assembly placed
upon him In appointing the committee
he did what he thought was best for
the peace, prosperity and progress of

called the police court at T:30 and when
Mr. Lindsay came into the court room
at o'clock there was nothing for him
to do. Both men during the day con-
suited their lawyers.

Mr.. Lindsay appeared at the station just
a little before the time of opening count

What are your reasons for refusing
to turn over the Office to me?" was the
next question.
Because your appointment is not le
gall he said, the order of the supreme
court staying the appointments by the
council does not expirt until 80 days.
and as the matter is still as unsettled as
heretofore by reason of the new suit
which has been brought in the supreme
court, do not believe that I can legally
turn the Office over to you.

provides that appointments are for two
years unless the officer is removed upon
an action following an. investigation OF
charges preferred against him."
Mr.. Lindsay is of another opinion in
this matter. In an interview he declares
that Mr.. Magaw was appointed to fill
the unexpired term of Judge Guy who
died in October, 1899"
