TOM DEWEY HERE
Spent Last Night With
F'amiIyin GoldsbOro.
Will 90 to New Bern This Morning to
Surrender Himself and
Stand Trial.

The late Southern train that passed
through Raleigh at $3.50 last night had
on it as a passenger man whose tom
que has been on every lip in North
Carolina during ~ past year
Thomas Dewey. former cashier of the
Merchants ana Farmers Bank OF New
Bern. He looks older, thinner ana is
much broken. His face bears the sign
of mental suffering, and The light of
happiness has gone from his bright
eyes.
Last night he reached Goldsboro
shortly after ten o'clock, and spent
the night with his family. This morn
ing he will go to New Bern to sur
render himself and stand trial upon
the charge of Wrecking the bank of
which he was cashier.
Since he left New Bern so suddenly
he has been a Wanderer upon the face
of the earth. In California this month

from one place to another, having
no fixed abode. His friends say that
he could not stand that life longer.
He could not sleep he could not eat.
and regret for the course he pursued
weighed so heavily upon him that he
resolved to return to New Bern and
stand his trial.
Nobody expected his return outside
his immediate family. The train was
crowded from Durham on to Colds
boro and the passenger did not TecOg-

about him, the merrf laughing and
talking of schoOl-boys and girls re-
turning home for Christmas in marked
contrast with his sad return to home
in which he had spent many years of
happiness.
This morning at eight O'Clock ex-
Cashier Dewey will leave GoldsbOrO
and at ten o'clock he will reach New
Bern. He will surrender himself to
the sheriff The case is balable and
he will probably give bond for his next
appearance at Craven Superior court.
The return of the former cashier
was wholly voluntary. He was not
under arrest and no officer Of the
law will know that ne is in the State

this morning. rhe large rewards at
first offered by the bank could not Sc
cure his return. The reward offered
by the Governor did not locate him.
He just maic ny his mind TO return
home, admit his wrong, stand trial,
and suffer the modification and hu
initiation rather than spend his days

and soraly regrets the steps that led
nin to the defalcationS, but has come
to th@ point where he feels it to be
his duty to stand trial for the offence,

Boliver, Pa. Dec. 22.-Seven men
We're suffocated today in the number
two soft clay mine of the Hesse- Ham
mond Fire Brick Company, near here.
The victims were Austrians. There
were about twenty-five men in the
mine, and all but seven were rescued,
though they were all in bad shape
and two are likely 10 die.
The cause of the disaster was most
reculiar. A small building about
16X20 burned down at the mouth Of
tne mIne. ihe air shaft from the
working to the surface, some distance
in the mine, actede as a sort of f1ue
and drew into the drift the heat and
smoke from the fire, thus Suffocating
the men before they could reach the
opening. As soon as it could be done,
the burning shanty was torn away and
reScuers rushed into the mine, but al
ready ive had succumbed to the heat
and smoke. and others we're in Il dy
ing condition One more died while
ON the way out and another altar they
mad reached the fresh air. The men
were not burned in any way
Practically all of the men in the
mine were foreigners and those killed
were Austrians.
The property loss is trifiing not
amounting to more than II couple of
hundred dollars. It is supposed that
the fire was started by q miner who
went out TO the shanty 10 eat his
dinner. He is thought to have upset
a lamp and iSnited some oil.
