A VERY NOVEL OFFENCE.
Escape Pipe of IL Wilmington Gas
Company Turned On.

WILMINGTON. n. c., December 10
pecial)-Begrimme with tar and
grease from small cellar under the gas
house. where il is alleged he turned on an
escape pipe with the malicious intent of
emptying one of the large reservoirs OF
the Consolidated Railways. LIGHT and
Power Company. Augustus F. Brlndell,
white man of Wilmington. was examined
in the Police Court to-day. charged with
injury to personal property. Several
times lately there have been lars" es-
canes from the tanks of the company.
and detective was engaged to discover
the cause as experts in the gas business
had failed to attribute the loss to ma
turai causes. Before day yesterday morn
ing another leak was discovered and
search of the premises was instituted.
Brindell was found in a small opening
under the purifying room and was drag
ged out more dead than alive. The drip
in the pit for turning out gas and tar
was turned on and the man was just
under it. A large quantity had escaped
and Brindell was locked up on the charge
of having purposely caused the loss. He
pleaded drunkenness. but the case against
him will finally be heard in the higher
court. 1t is believed that if he had re-
manned in the pit from which he was
taken a few hours longer. he would
have died as the result of his own folly
and probable misdemeanor.

,.Up TO, TREASURY DEPARTMENT

A SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST,
lie Refuses to work ON Saturday,
and Civil Service Rules Proven
the Dismissal of n Person Because
of Religious Opinions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December To-
(Spccial)-The Treasury Department and
the Civil Service Commission are con-
fronted with the problem Of what to do
with a Seventh-Day Adventist who is in
the government service and refuses to
work on Saturday, which is the Sabbath
Of that religion. a short time ago the
Treasury Department was forced to dis
miss one Of its clerks in the custom ser
vice in New York. who refused to work
on Saturday, when there was pressure
OF business.
In the present instance, the clerk is
in the service in this city. He is Elmer
Pettiford, one of the best employees in
the office of the Auditor for the War
Department. For a long time Mr. Petit
ford has had an understanding that ne
should absent himself on Saturdays to the
extent of his annual leave. and remain
away the other Saturdays in the year, II
his work was in condition for him to be
away. Last Friday, Mr.. Pettiford was
notified that the auditor considered that
his work was not up, and required that
ne should be at his desk on Saturday,
Mr.. Pettiford did not comply, and when
he reported for duty Monday it was de-
cided to prefer charges against him. OF
misconduct and delinquency. These
charges have been formulated, and are
before Mr. Pettiford and the Civil Service
Commission. Mr.. Pettiford visited the
Treasury to-day, his wife accompanying
him. He indicated that he would answer
the charges. and attempt to show that his
work was up to date.
RULES WITH THE DELINQUENT.
1t is pointed out that the Civil Ser
vice Commission rules prevent the dis
rnissaI Of a person because of political or
religious opinions or affiliations. Mr.. Fet-
tiford will refer to this in his argument,
but it will be held by the department that
a man is also required to comply with the
government service rules as to his work.
and that Mr.. Pettiford has not done this.
1t will also be shown that annual leave
is matter of privilege which a secretary
grants at his pleasure. and that every
thing has been done for Mr.. Pettiford that
the law warrants. The department will
hold that under no circumstances could a
precedent be set Of permitting 4 mar
to refuse to work when his services were
necessary. The chances are that Mr.. Pet
tiford will be dismissed if he insists on
his course. and does not answer the
charges in a way to clear himself.

RUTHERFORDTON. n. c., December
o.-(Special )-Sheriff E. a. Martin. who
is serving his third term as sheriff of
this county, is determined to collect his
taxes it matters not how small they may
be. This fact is demonstrated by col
lection he has just made for the amount
Of one cent.
Last week in looking over his accounts.
he found that Mr.. Bryant Martin, living
in Duncan's Creek township. owed him
balance Of one cent on his taxes He
promptly made out statement for the
amount and mailed it to him, which cost.
Of course, a two cent stamp. paper and
envelope Mr.. Martin, upon receipt OF
the statement, enclosed one cent piece
in a letter, registered it. and mailed to
the sheriff, demanding receipt by re-
turn mail, which the sheriff promptly
sent him.
1t will thus be seen in collection of
tax balance of one cent, Sheriff Martin
lost in the transaction three cents, be-
sides paper and envelopes. and Mr.. Mar
tin u cents, besides the paper and en-
velopes.
This sounds like a tale, but is an
actual fact and was not considered
Joke by either party.
