been known to many in Grand Forks
for several days, it has been kept out
of the papers in the expectation that
che company would make settlement
with the wife Of the defaulter, and
chat the company, would be saved from
anything more than temporary embar-
rassm ent.y
Lewis had gradually accumulated
Z large real ESTATE holdings, all Of which
he had placed in his wife g name. Ne
gotiations are under way for the inn
mediate transfer of his property to the
mercantile company as partial or entire
indemnity for the losses it has sus-
tanned on account Of Lewis populations.

time. He had had full swing in the
management of the financial affairs of
the company and his probity had never
been questioned by his employers OF
any one in Grand Forks.
About ten days ago he left on what
appeared to be periodical business
trip. The books and accounts then
passed to other hands, and gradually
The fact leaked out that the company
had been systematically looted for 8
series Of years.
Lewis is about As and has a wife but
no children. He had the reputation OF

broken over the affair.

COLOMBIA WANTS

New York Sun Special Service.

Bogota, Colombia, Feb. 9.-President
Reyes is making another effort to get
into the good graces Of the United
States and incidentally get into Its
strong box for little financial boost.
Ever since the diplomatic representa-
tive Of the country left Washington in
a huff, the advisers Of the government
here have had their heads together
seeking an easy route back into the fold
that would be creased with some of
Uncle Sans cash. The result of all
deliberations is the following :astonish-
ing proposition, which probably is at
present in the hands Of the authorities
at Washington, or at least close to this
distinction, as it. was dispatched from
/ here early in January. *
4 The proposition from Colombia to
the United States is in effect as fol-
4 lows: $500. - H.

4 not she shall return to Colomia. -
Second-If Panama votes to remain
Independent, then the United States
shall buy from Colombia at a. liberal
price the San Andres and San Louis
islands. a. ~. = IS =

NEWARK, Nov. 3. 1905. At noon
day meeting at which he addressed the
largest gathering of the day meetings of
the campaign, Julian A. Gregory, Demo
cratic Candidate for State Senator from
Essex, delivered speech yesterday to
the employees of the National Phono-
graph Company, the Edison Laboratory
and the Edison Manufacturing Company
at the Edison plant, West Orange. The
keynote of his remarks was, '.No party
was ever reformed within itself" Mr..
Gregory talked on equal taxation and
limited franchises and then took up the
question of Assembly districts and the
restoration of spring elections. He said
there was another issue, which he had
not raised, but which had been brought
out by Everett Colby That was sim
cerity and he challenged Mr.. Colby's SIM
certify.
He asked his audience why it was
that Mr.. Colby had made his i'm
passioned and powerful reputation of
the Republican machine and Major Carl
Lentz, and then allowed and countenan-
ced the formation of secret alliances with
the Lentz forces in Orange, East Orange,
Belleville and Nutley.
Mr.. Gregory said the press seemed To
be opposed to him principally because it
had created an idol last summer and
hated to tear it down.
Frank A. O'Connor, who, as Tax As
SCISSOR of West Orange. has brought
woe to many wealthy tax-dodgers, re-
marked that if Mr.. Colby was really
sincere in his equal taxation campaign
he would be out supporting his
(O'Connor's) candidacy. He declared
Colby's campaign to be ean apologize,
conscience-stricken" one. and that Mr..
Colby was endeavoring to put shady
political past behind him.

cards and spades and leave Andrew j..
De Voc so far behind in the matter Of
weather prophecies as to make him feel
ashamed of himself. He is Thomas Rey-
nolds, one of the elevator men at the
City Hail. During the recent long spell
of glorious September and October wea-
ther it waslcustomary for many officials
and employees in the City Hall who used
the elevators to ask him how long the
fine spell of weather would last.
at will last for weeks yet was his
usual answer
When the few rainy mornings set in
and it was thought the backbone of the
bright weather was at last broken. Mr..
Reynolds would be consulted by those
using his elevator.
One morning when the weather was Of
a most dismal character and it was rain
ing cats and dogs, Mr.. Reynolds was
asked how long it was to last.
you will see the sun shining before
twelve O'Clock" was his prompt reply.
He was right. There was a renewal
of the bright weather by noon. Many
thought the 'rainy season" which this
country seems to have acquired since it
came into possession Of the Philippines,
had set in, but they were mistaken.
The next rainy day Mr. Reynolds was
asked what the outlook was. Without a
moments hesitation he replied:
you will see the sun shining before
six o'clock this afternoon"
He struck it again. And 50 on on
every occasion upon which his opinion
has been taxed, and the best of it is that
he is bright weather prophet. He is
a man of few words and never ventures
his opinions on the weather outlook un-
less asked.

P. S. REFUSES LIMIT.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News,
ELIZABETH, Nov. 3, 1905.-The
Public Service Corporation has refused
to accept limited franchise in Eliza
beth. President Thomas n. MeCarter,
in communication to council last night,
said that in view of the radical changes
made in the original document drafted
by te law department of his company,
his company not only refused to accept
it. but it withdrew its formal applica-
tion for trolley extension in Railway ave
nue., this city.
This action is in accordance with the
statement made by Colonel Hine and
Vice President A. B. Carlton to council
when that body discussed the advisab bill
ity of amending the ordinance In spite
of the company's threat to refuse to ac-
cept it in any amended form, council
changed the perpetual franchise to one
limited to a period of fifty years, it re-
served for the city the right to demand
cars at a headway whicA<fn councils
judgment should pset the demands of
traffic, and the.Fual restrictions regard
ing the sprinkling and paving of streets,
the removal of snow and other conditions.
At recent mass meeting of about 400
voters in Turn Hall the action of council
in refusing to epass an ordinance giving
and unlimited franchise to trolley COM
pany was unanimously approved.
