 THE CRIMINAL BUSINESS,-Sun- day was not a bad day in the criminal line. Among the victims of the vigi- lance of the officers was a young ma1 whose name is not mentioned for the reason that the complaining witness against him is not entirely reliable. She charges him with highway rob- beIy. She says that he met her in the darkness on street corner and diVeSt- ed her of gold watch and chain. The young man does not deny that he knows the woman and had seen her at her house in the evening, but that he saw no watch and chain and robbed her Of nothing. He promises to tell the court all about it today. and he thinks that when the authorities know precisely what happened he will be allowed to go hence with his costs" Another man who said his name was John Weary was picked up. He met some acquaintances in the county jail, and when he was compelled by the kangaroo court to ls~ sue an order on the sheriff he signed the name of John Shea. Sam Smith. the man who has been making ineffiec- tual attempts at suicide for the last week, was also locked up. He will pe examined today on d charge of insanity. John Carter, the man who surrendered himself on Saturday night because he was afraid that he would kill himself. will also be tried today.

on Tn the dip below him. MT. Mer- toms horse was rearing and plunging in the grasp of one man, while Mir. Merton was flashing savagely with his whip at two others who were attacking him from opposite sides of the buggy. Of Miss Dens- more, Rossiter could see nothing, but he surmised, and rightly, that she was crouching half upon the seat and half unon the bottom of the vehicle to give her uncle freer play with his whip.
 With an Indian-like yell Rossiter dashed down into the dip. Already one of the -"Whiskers"-had MT. Merton in his grasp. He seemed not to heed the shout, but the other, Simpson, turned his head, and seeing who it was stepped back a pace. .'Whiskers'" attention was thus at tracted, and he too recognizing Rossi- ter ripped out terrible oath.
 "Tacl1le him, tackle him, you dunn. my! I'll tend to the old gent" he added.
 He had not relaxed his ferocious grip on MT. Merton, and Rossiter saw that Miriam's father was in imminent danger of being dragged from the carriage. His whip had slipped to the ground, and the reins would have fallen beneath the heels of the horse had not Miss Densmore opportunely seized them. Rossiter eluded Simp- sons clumsy attempt to grasp him, and sprang to MT. Merton's aid, thus

forcing "Whiskers" for an instant to release his hold. If he could keep them at bay until Parmelee arrived all would be well. He danced out of reach along the edge of the embank- ment after he had fetched "Whis- kers'' stinging buffet, Simpson close after him.
 "Parmelee! Parmelee!" he shout ed.
 There was a faint cry in answer. "Whiskers" renewed his attack upon MT. Merton, but Simpson stopped short, and the.man who was gripping the horses head glanced about in ap prehension.
 "The games up, 'Whiskers,'" said l Simpson, "we'd better make tracks!"
 "Not if hell splits!" cried the fu1i- ous tramp, and he caught from the roadside a bludgeon which he had evidently dropped in order the better i to use his hands, and menaced the now defenceless MT. Merton.
 "That bag O money, or I'll brain | yet" he shouted. l Rossiter made a rush at Simpson. The man was powerful but awkward, while Rossiter had never lost the agility of his college days. There was no grappling, though the farmland made clutch at his antagonist, sec ond afterwards to reel blindly back ward under fierce blow that landed upon his jaw. Then Rossiter was past him. The bludgeon was poised in "'Whiskers' hand, and MT. Merton was fumbling in his pocket, when Parmelee's shout from the crest of the dip caused the tramp to turn. He knew that their dastardly attempt had failed: Even at that instant his confederate released the struggling horse, and the frightened animal plunged forward 'Whiskers'" eyes i were murderous. The young mans impetuous leap past Simpson to MT. Merton's assistance had brought him and the enraged vagabond face to face. The long run and the violent efforts he had since made seemed sud- denly to tell upon his strength. He felt his breath weaken. He was aware of the swinging bludgeon and of trying to dodge the blow, and then it was as though the earth had gaped and swallowed him.
 He returned to a consciousness of existence through variety of painful sensations, most of them in his head.
 He opened his eyes.
 Are they gone?" he asked weakly.
 "Yes," someone. said.
 He knew the voice, and gained sud denly a clearer realization of his sur roundings. Parmelee, MT. Merton and Dick Whittlesey were standing about him, while over him Miss Densmore was bending with a look which he many, many times afterward ques- toned himself, wondering if he had seen it in a dream.

DEATH CLAIMS HERBERT.
British Ambassador to United States
Passes Away In Switzerland, the
Victim of Consumption.

Sir Michael Herbert, lie British am
bassador to the United States. died
Wednesday at Davos-Platz, switzer-
land, after a long and plucky fight
against consumption, which terminal
ed with tragic suddenness.
Sir Michael had been at Daros-
Platz about five weeks. When he re-
turned to London from America, he
confessed that he felt far from well;
but his physicians still held out hopes
Of his conquering the consumption.
The ambassador expected to leave Da-
vos- -Platz q week or so ago, in order
to greet the Alaskan commissioners in
London; but he contracted bronchitis.
Of this he wrote, only few days ago,
quite slightingly, saying 1t was only
annoying because on account OF 1t the
doctor insisted on his not going to
London to see his American friends.
Lady Herbert intended to leave
Switzerland q short time ago with her
children, but she apparently changed
her plans and remained at Davos-Platz,
though the resort is deserted at this
time of the year. Lady Herbert was
formerly Miss Letitia Wilson, daugh-
ter of Richard T. Wilson, the New
York banker, and Is related to 'tne Van
derbilt, Ogden, Goelet and Astor TAM
lilies.
The following statement, by author
ity Of President Roosevelt, was issued
at the white house:
"The president is deeply shocked
and grieved at the death of Sir Michael
Herbert, both because of his personal
affection for Sir Michael and because
OF his high appreciation OF him as an
Official" ......G ..-.. s-'...
President Roosevelt sent message
Of coincidence to Lady Herbert, as did
also Secretary Hay. Mr.. Choate, our
ambassador at London, vas instructed
by the state department to convey to
the British foreign Office an appropri-
ate expression of the washington gov
ernment's sympathy. ......a

IN A TEMPORARY PINCH
Embarrassment Said to Be Due to Re.

Statement issued by an Act.
Ing Advisory Committee.

persistent rumor pervaded the
flnanci-l district in Baltimore FRIDAY
that the local firm of ]. William Mid
dendorf & Co., and ]. L. Williams &
Son, of Richmond. Va, were financial
ly embarrassed. Those in interest de-
clIned to discuss the matter during the
afternoon and evening, but late Friday
night, after a conference which lasted
several hours, gave out the following
statement: ..,.I -.
In view Of the extraordinary and
unexpected financial situation now ex-
listing in New York, Messrs. John L.
Williams & Sons, Of Richmond, Va,
and ]. William Middendorf & Co., OF
Baltimore, have found it necessary to
ask for temporary indulgence OF their
creditors. .... e..
THE undersigned have, at the re-
quest of these two firms, consented TO
act as an advisory committee to exam
inc into their condition and promptly
report an appropriate plan OF e1ten-
sion. The committee will proceed to
the immediate. performances OF Rthis
duty: In the meanwhile they believe
1t to be to the interest of all concern
ed that no legal or other steps be "a
ken by individual creditors to ieompii-
cate the situation, but that the present
status should in all respects be main.
tanned for common protection and oen'
eft.
THE above firms estimate that their
assets, inventoried at current quota,
tions, exceed their liabilities by q very
large amount, which will be naturally
augmented by the restoration OF nor
NAL conditions. ..:,g.s; /.
In view of the official relations OF
J. J.. Williams, and J. W.. ,Middendorf
with the Seaboard Air Line, they de-
sire to state that neither firm, nor any
member thereof, is indebted to that
company, and that the Seaboard Air
Line railroad will be in no, wise ahectT hect
ed by the action of their respective
firms in this natter sh 'a 4.i;

ton, N. j.. -;
John Shelton Williams, who was IN
the city, said that the action taken was
occasioned by the Inability Of the two
firms mentioned above to collect large
sums of money due them and to real
ize on securities in the present dis
turbed money markets. .5tl III, 8.
"The value of my firms assets,
said Mr.. Williams, "are greatly In e1-
cess of all liabilities of every kind. and
the present difficulty will be only tenn
porary. .@ys,
"None of the companies in which
my firm and Mr.. Middendorf's are
largely interested, or with which
members of these firms are ofaciaI's
connected will be affected In any way
by the action taken today. All OF the
properties held by us are In excellent
and healthy condition and the outlook
for them, without exception, Is bright
and thoroughly satisfactory"
