ATTORNEY GENERAL AGAIN
RESUMES WORK OF EXAMINING

by individuals who obtained a pront-
able discount for the accommodation
given holders of the vouchers. The
loose system OF financial dealing On the
part of the county permits OF such a
transaction, and though Mr. Ward may
decide that the books do not establish
the guilt OF any official he certainly
will use his influence in having the
county adopt such a system of account
ing as will not permit maladministra.
tion on the part Of anybody in the EN-
ploy of the county.
Horace Greeley Knowles, attorney
for the eIvy Court, said this morning
that the published statement to the ef'
feet that the Farmers Bank, the
county's depository, would not ac'
knowledge any warrants of the Lev,
Court until Mr.. Wards investigation
had been concluded, was erroneous. il
is true that the bank refused 70 casi
the warrants last week, but since Mon
day all county warrants presented
there have been hOnOred.
At 1.30 o'clock this afternoon the in
lyestigation was suspended until to
morrow morning. Mr.. Ward said tn
examination tomorrow would continu
only SO long as a certain line of in
lvesiigatiOn. which developed thi

Fails to Keep Promise to
Execute Men
MINISTER'S FEEL MUCH ALARM
Fear That Ting Will Lay Waste
Villages and Kill the Native
Christians

Pekin, April 1s-Rev. Mr.. Kelly. a
Presbyterian missionary has returned
from San-Ho, where Christians were
burned TO death In December. Mr..
Kelly reports to Gen. Chaffee that some
time ago several of his converts were
killed. lie had the guilty parties tried
In the Chinese courts. where they
were convicted and sentenced 70 death,
subject TO III Hung Chang's signature.
Mr.. Kelly came TO Pelkln and saw Ii
Hung Chang. who said the men should
be executed Immediately Upon going
TO San-lio three weeks later the mis-
sionary found the men alive. He spoke
to a judge OF the Chinese courts on the
matter, who thereupon showed him a
letter from Ii Hung Chang giving ex-
plicit instructions that the men must
not be executed, as they had only been
convicted on the testimony of Chris
tians, consequently tho evidence was
untrustworthy. Mr.. Kelly has a copy
OF this letter.
In the meantime the French had
proved the same men guilty Of incen-
diarlsm and other outrages and de-
manded their execution. whereupon the
Judge again showed his orders from
LII Hung Chang. The French authori-
ties replied that n the men we're not
executed within eight days they would
take the law into their own hands, and
/ punish the Chinese officials likewise.
5 The ministers OF the foreign powers
view with alarm the expedition against
Gen. Lui-Kuan-Ting. as they think he
will retreat, probably laying waste the
villages he traverses and killing ma
tive Christians, and that such actions
Will be used as an excuse by the mill
tary for further aggression, which
would probably be the taking Of Tai
Yuan-Fu. the capital Of Shan-Si prov
ince.
Trustworthy Chinese report that
troops IN large numbers are masslng
in the province OF Shan-Si. near the
frontier Of the province Of Chilli Well
informed natives prophesy further
trouble. II is impossible to ascertain
whether the court is playing a double
game or its authority is insufficient to
prevent the Chinese generals acting In
manner likely to provoke hostilities.
The fact that for many months there
has been nothing In the shape Of a de
facto government favors the latter
! hypothesis.
Probably a great deal will depend
upon the Franco-German expedition
innicting q severe defeat upon the Chi
nese who have transgressed the agree
ment by entering into the sphere Of the
! allies. II these offenders are thor
oughly punished it is likely to pro-
duce q good effect.

WAS "CAFNAPPHD"
OR HAN BLOPBD
Mysterious Disappearance Of
Mr. MCCOIIey'S Pussy
FrOm Her Home

II may shortly develop that there has
been either a heartless case OF "catnap-
ping" or a sensational elOpement in the
rural town of Wilmington. The pet
cat owned and fCstered by Reuben Nc
COlley, one of the popular ushers for
the p. w. & B. Railroad Company at
the French street passenger station
has most suddenly and mystoriOusly
disappeared, and Mr.. McColley is sure
that his much beloved pet has been
"catnapped." There is a veiled lady In
the case, and altogether there seems
to be a prospect for the development
Of a sensational story. Some persona
hint at possible el0pement, but Mr.
McCOlley does not think that way He
seems to think that the missing feline
is being held captive in the Quaker
City by force. and is willing 10 give a
reward for the return of his pussy.
1T was during a storm night last
week that pussy disappeared, and on
that night there was seen around the
station a mysterious woman in black,
heavily veiled, and acting in a sus-
picious manner On the same night
several members of City Council were
seen lettering around the depot and
they went to Philadelphia.
Mr.. McColley is distressed over the
loss Of his pet, and will receive it back
with open arms whether it was a vic
tim OF the "catnapper" or the partici.
pant in a love escapade. He wants his
pussy" back.
If it is a case of abduction Mr.. Nc
Colley will endeavor to have the guilty
/ Marty or nartics brought before thl
courts of Delaware and visit upon then
