CHECK SCANDAL.
Jeromes Attention Directed to the
Equitable Transaction.

Jeromes Attention Directed to the
Equitable Transaction.
New York, Aug. 30.-It is reported
that the certified check for s6s5,Oo0
which was used in taking up that blind
Equitable loan standing on the books of
the Mercantile Trust Company in the
names Of James M. Alexander and
Thomas w Jordan as trustees was sign
ed by the treasurer Of one Of the large
express companies. The check was drawn
on one Of New York's largest banks.
IT was said that it was the purpose
of those concerned IN the loan transac-
tion to cover themselves as completely
as possible BY having the express COM
pany take up the obligation. The $685.
600, it was said, was first paid by the
PARTIES interested in the loan into the
treasury of the express company, and
then checked out by the company's Off
GERS.
Dist,-Atty. Jerome now has his atten-
ton directed toward this feature of the
Equitable scandal more closely than on
any other. He expects to be able TO
get to the bottom Of the facts and de-
termine whether the money was used,
as charged, for lobby fees and in the
payment of blackmail.

A Woman Bandit


lOriginal.l
In tie Sierra de Guadarama noun
taius, in spain. once a company Of
bandits we're terror to the country
below. they were accompanied by
number Of women, one Of whom was
as terrible as any OF them She was
Suzanne, a girl OF twenty, very beauti-
full and one OF the bravest and most
pitiless of the band. The Spanish
troops hunted them down at last and
killed nearly all of them. Suzanne,
dlsdaining iiight continued to load and
ire expecting every moment TO be
shot down. She was oyerpowered and
would have been executed had 1t not
been for the admiration of the officer
commanding the troops, Captain AIigu-
Ell Mendoza. He spared her life and
took her 10 Madrid. where she was
lodged Ia Jail
Captain Mendoza visited the girl in
prison and endeayored to lead her
from her evil ways. telling her that one
s. brave and 50 beautiful should look
higher than the profession Of robber.
she listened to him, now looking at
him with her fiery eyes. then down In
evident penitence as be pictured the
wickedness Of her life.
Captain Mendoza soon came 70 be-
lleYe that be had rescued one who had
known nothing but q bandits life, but
in whose breast beat a naturally loving
heart lie had no power to liberate
Suzanne and despaired Of enlisting
sympathy for her on the part Of the
authorities, by whom she had mean
while been tried and condemned to
death. The night before she was to
base been executed he assisted her TO
escape, and together they went to the
Toledo mountains, south Of Madrid
HIS Intentions were to leave the girl
in hiding there and when she had been
forgotten help Der to lead an honest
NE under an assumed Identity.
He was doomed 70 a bitter dIsap-
pointment. ON reaching the mountains
Suzanne mot two members Of the band
10 which she had belonged Pointing
10 her benefaetor, she said.
.tput that fool out of the way"
In Mendoza there flashed a sudden
tempest and drawing his sword, the
only weapon he possessed, he drove
the three into a ravine, where he lost
tbem. for be could not follow on ac-
count Of the wounds they had given
him. He was found By peasant and
carried down the mountain.
When Mendoza returned to Madrid
# was not known that he had assisted
suzanne to escape. He asked and re-
.oelved permission to take troops to the
Toledo range and clear It of bandits.
once there be soon got on Suzanne's
track she had gathered about her a
hand at whose head she had placed
herself, and made them scourge.

the soldiers got behind them and pick
ed of all. except Suzanne. whom Men
doza had ordered should not be harm
sd. Mounting the rampant Of rocks,
she kept on firing. doubtless expecting
to be shot, but no bullet touched her.
The soldiers closed In on her. Then
she saw the man she had duped COM
Ing to take her. Raising her gun, she
fired at him, but at the moment a sol
der jumped down behind her, knocked
the weapon upward and disarmed her.
Suzanne, held by two soldiers, met
the gaze Of the man whose love, kind
ness, sacrifices, she had sought to re-
turn by death. 1t was a duel Of one
human soul against another, weapons
of good against those Of evil For a
time ii seemed as IL the battle would
be drawn. At last the woman's glance
began TO weaken, trembled, and her
eyes dropped. Then Mendoza, pointing,
said one word:
Go"
The girl stood for moment, again
raising her eyes as II to learn If she
was sent away to death, but there was
no death fl her captor's eyes Then
she understood. Turning, without a
word either Of thanks or reproach. she
walked away and ID few minutes
was lost behind the trees
A year passed One night Mendoza
was walking IN Madrid when car
rage was suddenly driven up to the
curb. two men alighted, one threw a
cloak about the captains head and
both hurried him into the carriage, All
night Mendoza was driven, under
guard Of the two men, and toward
morning he felt that they were slowly
ascending In time the carriage stopped,
the door was thrown open. and Men-
doza was ordered to alight His first
glance told him that he was on noun
tain side, ard a moment later his eyes
rested on the figure OF a woman whom
&c knew at once to be Suzanne

be taken to execution.

Suzanne to the coachman
She turned away without a look or
word. and the carriage was driven
down the mountain Several men on
horseback rode behind till the carriage
reached the foot Of the mountain, then
they turned ana disappeared.
There is sequel to the story, but

well authentieated--tha is, the sequel

COURSE" FULFILLED.
Pair, at 40, Have % Children, Including
six Sets of Twins.

Allentown, Pa, Aug. so.-When Mr..
and Mrs. Allen G. Deppe OF Hickory Run,
at the age Of 40 years, became the par
ents Of 20 children, upon the arrival of
their sixth pair OF twins, last week, an
extraordinary curse was fulfilled.
a little more than 20 years ago Mrs.
Deppe was Miss Elizabeth Searfass, and
was living with her parents at Albrights-
vile. She was engaged to the son Of
a naighboring farmer when Allen Deppe
appeared. After short acquaintance,
lasting only a few weeks, Deppe and
Miss Searfass eloped and were married.
The brides parents and the neighbors,
with whom eDppe had made himself po-
pular, took the elopement in good part
and counted it as joke on the other
fellow. The Tilted lover, however, was
terribly disappointed. Instead of con,
graduating the bride he uttered an i'm.
precation, wishing she would become the
mother OF the largest family ever known,
including six pairs of twins.

James Grove Took Rockefeller's Prop
erty from Under Pew

Cleveland, Ohio, August 29.-1ohn d.
Rockefeller has been subjected to an.
other indignity. The millionaire went
as usual to the Sunday morning SER
vice in the Euclid avenue Baptist church,
and when he left his fellow worshippers
noticed that he was bareheaded, where
as when he entered the church he wore
highly polished silk hat.
The reason why Mr. Rockefeller left
the church bare headed came out with
the arrest OF James ]. Grove, while
hiding in the First Methodist Episcopal
church, not far removed from the Bap-
list church.
Grove. when found BY the sexton,
carried silk hat. He was charged with
having stolen the hat from the Rookie
Teller pew during the long prayer at
the morning service. Grove pleaded not
guilty when arraigned, but was held.

Seminary of Manchester and Goddard
Seminary OF Barre will contend for
the interscholastic football champion
ship of the state on Centennial Field

clearly have the right to claim the
championship, since both have played
against strong teams this year and
neither has been defeated
The Burr and Burton team has been
coached by Dane, the Vermont player
of few years ago, while Goddard has
also received efficient football teaching
from good coaches. The game will
undoubtedly attract the attention Of
