Witnesses Are Examined.

Bedford, Ind, January H-The court of
inquiry that is investigating the muir
der of Miss Sarah Schaefer. began work
today examining witnesses on the theory
that the murderer had criminal assault
for his motive.
Michael Murphy and Frank Tobias, two
pupils of Miss Schaefer, who were the
first to Identify the body, have found
Miss Schaefer's pin or brooch near Fif-
teenth and L. two blocks from the fatal
alley. The clasp of the pin was broken
off and appeared to have been broken
with a jerk in a struggle The boys
picked the pin up and believing 1t to be
the diamond set pin which the teacher
wore in the back of her collar, thye took
1t TO Mrs Smith, who identified 1t as Miss
Schaefer's pin.
The pin has been placed with the other
belongings of Miss schaefer and given
to her brother. The finding of the broken
pin two blocks from the scene of the
final struggle, must Indicate, of course.
that a struggle between Miss Schaefer
and her murderer ensued this distance
from the scene of the tragedy.
Believe Murderer Was Negro.
Belief is growing from members of the
inquiry that a black man is the murderer.
Particular attention will be paid to the
theory that such men as would be likely
to carry horse hair on their clothing.
If such man were the slayer of Miss
Sehaefer, the presence of the red hair in
her clothing might be explained
1t is pointed out that there Is much
evidence leading TO the conclusion that
assault and only assault. was the motive
for the heinous crime. The use of a
brick as a weapon indicates to those di-
recting the work that a low grade man
was the criminal.
The brick used could scarcely have been
found In the alley. Officers believe 1t was
probably carried in the pocket of the
murderer. A bottle of cheap whskey has
been found near The scene of the crime
This Is pointed out as further evidence
that the fiend had low habits. All sa-
looms have been visited by the officers
but the whiskey has not as yet lead to
any further developments.
The officials and detectives in charge OF
the investigation here have received no
official notification Of the arrest of Harry
Behr at Louisville and don't believe that
he Is in any way connected with the
murder of Miss Schaefer.

BANKING ODDITIES.
curiosities and Customs Preserved Z
the Bank of Enaland

London rit-l3it When the Bank of
England commenced business IN 1884, with
staff of fifty-four clerks all of whom
worked I'm single room and the directors
with them. no one imagined that il would
develop into the great national institu-
ton 1t is today. And its career extend
ing over two centuries, has brough, it in
touch with a wealth of romance relics of
which may he found in that department
of the bank with which the public is least
familiar namely, Its museum.
How many people know that the bank
once Issued note for u penny al
though 1t should be explained that this
was entirely due to an error. But the
penny note went into circulation all the
same. and only by offering a reward of
SIS was the bank able to get it back
again before it passed into the hands of
the curio collector This note is still pre-
served IN one of the albums, and In an
other are some of the curious notes
which saved the bank in 1745. In that
year great run on the funds took place
so great. In fact, that 1t was thought
that the bank would be unable to meet
it. but the directors IN the nick of time
sent n number of their clerks into the
crowd to present notes which were paid
in sixpences. thus giving the officials
time to prepare for the demand for spe-
Gle.
Another curiosity is note for 50 600 00O
which is the only one of that value ever
printed; while there is also a note which
was In circulation for nearly 1870 years
before it was presented.
Specimens of all the forged notes which
have been uttered from time to time by
the unscrnpuous are kept. and their
value aggregates several million pounds
while notes brought from the wreck of
the E.urydice and one taken from the
stomach of an enormous Goldfish cap
tured off the coast of Greenland are
among the banks valued treasures
There ore hundreds of specimens of GU
rious coins which have been returned to
the bank from all parts of the world, or
found IN the testing machine. This ma
chine, by the way, tests $1,000 sovereigns
a day and automatically rejects any
which have become light.
The musemum library contains all the
old ledgcrs which have been used by the
bank since 1t was first opened, and they
number 10000. while another set of vol
umcS gives a record of every member of
the staff who has ever served at the
bank. There are also 10000 volumes of
all kinds for the use of the staff some
of which are 50 rare that the same num-
Der of sovereigns would not purchase the

most disagreeable days in the history
of the city. The conditions were not

Telephone and telegraph wires were
broken down in all directions. and
Baltimore had very poor service North
and none at all South. For that rea-
son it appears that the Florida storm
caused the main damage here Wash
ington was apparently nearer the
storm center than Baltimore, for it is
understood that the fury Of the storm
was much greater in that vicinity.
However, in the extreme Northeast,
at Block Island, the wind acquired a

no doubt that considerable damage
was done in the storn-swept section,
