 tlon,l CasIket Company Fire.

tional CasIxet Company Fire.
 About eight o'clock last night No. 4s engine company received a still alarm call to the National Casket company's plant on Railroad avenue and while they were en route some one pulled box 43 for the same. fire. On the arrival of the department it was found that a pile of sawdust had become ignited near the engine room, and this in turn had set fire to the woodwork. After some little work the firemen with the use of considerable water extinguished the blaze.
 How the fire started is not known, but it is believed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion. It is be- lieved that the damage will amount to about three hundred dollars, as the machinery was badly damaged by wa ter. T. Fl. Lenahan is the manager of the concern,
 On theaaWay to the fire one of the reins on No.~2's house wagon came un- hitched, and in fixing it Hoseman Mar tin Minze was accidentally kicked by one of the horses. It was stated late last night that the fireman was then on duty and did not seem to be badly hurt.

OBJECTIONABLE POST CARDS.
Postmaster General Renews His Cam
 paign Against Them.

Washington, Sept. 29-Acting Post master General Hitchcock, in a cireu- lar mailed to-day to all postmasters, has renewed the campaign started re- gently against objectionable post cards. He has called attention to the rule which bars from the mails every card bearing a picture or language that is obscene, indecent or improperly sug- gestive, and has constituted every post master a judge of this character of art. If there is doubt as to the indecency of the card MT. Hitchcock is to act as the highest court. The use of the mails for pictorial cards has become so extensive that the department says it has extended the comis valentine sea son over the entire year. Most of the complaints come from persons who have been the recipients of vulgar cards mailed anonymously.

ND TRACE FOUND OF
 MISSING SECURITIES
SOME BELIEF THAT FORGER HAS REALIZED ON
 THEM.

Freedom With Which Securities Repre-
 sentinS Hundreds of Thousands of
 Dollars and Even Certified Checks for
 Large Amounts Are Entrusted to
 Messenger BOys-EOan Clerk of Ma
 tionaI City Bank Not BIamcd-Any of
 the officers Might Have Fallen Into
 Same Error.
 New York, Sept. 29.-No clue has been obtained to the whereabouts of the $360,900 worth of securities that somebody got from the National City bank on Wednesday afternoon by means of forged check for $3OO, O,097.5O drawn on the Hanover National bank.
 Although the officials of the National City bank say that they are certain that the eleverness of the forger was in vain, and that the securities have not yet been negotiated, there are some Wall street brokerage houses think there is a chance that the forger may have got at least few thousand out of the deal, and that if it is the result of a deliberate game with confederates who may have accounts with Stock Exchange houses here or in some other nearby city, d large amount may have been realized.
 The freedom with which securities representing hundreds of thousands of dollars and even certified checks for large amounts are entrusted to messen- ger boys was referred to by an official of the National City bank in discussing the disappearance of the. Pearl & Com- pany securities. He said that the loan clerk who was concerned in the affair is not under any censure, for any bank officer probably would have fallen into the same error. The National City bank has been lending fifty million dollars a week lately, he said, and much of this had been taken away by messenger boys in the form of cer- tiffed checks. Even as he was speak ing three small messenger boys in uni form came to the loan window, put in securities and drew out checks for loans aggregating $400,000. Securities, and even certified checks, are consid- cred unnegotiable in the hands of un- known persons in the street, the bank official said, but they are trusted inn plicitly to these small boys in blue.
 The same reasoning makes impossible for q stranger to the clerk at the win dow to get out ya big block of securities or a big check without being identi- fled, whereas a man with ten dollar check in his own name would have to bring somebody in to prove his iden- tity, before he could get cash.
 The National City bank officers say that they have no description of the person who put in the check and got out the bonds. =.
 E. F. slayback, of the firm of Pearl & Co.,, said that it was possible that the thief might already have realized something on part of the securities He said:
 q don't. think. it impossible for the thief to have negotiated the tobacco and the Wabash bonds. The tobacco bonds are coupon bonds, and they are worth over fifty thousand dollars. If he could negotiate them alone he could throw the rest away. Those bonds have coupons payable on October 1st. He could sell the coupons

NEGRO LAD SUSPECTED.
Indications Point to Him as Murderer
 of Texas Family.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 29.-The bodies of Mrs. A. J. Conditt, her thirteen year old daughter and three sons, aged six, eight and ten, respectively, who were murdered yesterday near Edna, Texas, by negro, were inferred this after noon in a single grave.
 The discovery of a bloody adze, with which the crime was committed, and a bundle of discarded clothing found by bloodhounds a short distance from the scene of the tragedy are the only clues left by the murderer. However, as a result of suspicion against Hank Gib- son. a seventeen year old boy, who was working nearby and who gave the first alarm, his home was searched and a tablecloth with a bundle of bloody clothing was found concealed between the covers of the bed. If MT. Conditt, the husband is able to identify the ar ticles, the negro will probably be lynch A6 ..ss- .

WEDDING IN THREE COUNTIES.
How Southern Couple Surmounte,
 Quarantine DifficuIties.

New Orleans, Sept. 29. The marriage. yesterday of Miss Sarah Adams, of Brookhaven, Miss, daughter of a Meth odist minister, to Aubrey Toler, of Gloster, Miss, shows some of the ab- surdities of the cross-county yellow fe- yer quarantines of Mississippi
 The marriage took place near Au- burn, where the counties of Pike, Amite and Lincoln meet. 2.3.. ! As these counties have quarantines against each other it was impossible for the bridegroom to come to Brookhaven for his bride, and impossible for her to have her parents attend the wedding at Gloster.
 All these difficulties were overcome by having the ceremony at the county lines. The bridegroom stood in. A1mite county, the bride in Lincoln county and the minister in Pike county.

 He would call at their homes and say that he had come to collect a bill. He thus succeeded in swindling many pa- irons out of hundreds of dollars.
