Allegation of MaIfeasanee in Office
Cause His Resignation After an
Astonishing Exposure.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 13.-All
bridges and levees built within the
confines of Shelby county during the
past twelve months will be thorough
ly inspected, and survey will be run
over each levee in order to determine
the accuracy of the estimates and
bills of costs recommended to be
paid within that period by Bridge Su.
perintendent Charles A. Sedinger,
who rendered his resignation to the
County Court today, and by so doing
brought practically to an end one of
the most sensational sessions ever
held in the history of the county.
Mr. Sidinger's resignation was de-
manded by Justice Guthrie, who was
seconded in his demand by several
other prominent members of the
court, but later this motion was lost
in a storm of motions in lieu, amend
ments and motions to table, and Mr..
Sedinger voluntarily rendered his res
ignation, effective Immediately.
The cause of Mr.. Sedinger's resig-
nation was the fact that he had ap-
proved and ordered paid bill of $500
for 1000 yards of levee work in the
Ninth District, near Eads, on June
16, stating that the work had been
completed to his satisfaction and ac-
cording to contract, when, as matter
of fact, as developed by the investi-
cation conducted today, not a shovel
full Of dirt had been placed in posi-
tion to form the levee on that day.

by the Evidence.

UNION CITY, Tenn, Aug. 9.-The
Walker-Edwards case was called this
afternoon, attorneys for defendant
making plea for a new trial. Judge
w. H. Swiggart and Hon. Rice A.
Pierce battled for their clients, and
Judge Felix Moore and Olive Lannom
make ringing speeches for the plain
tin. After hearing both sides, Judge
Maiden reviewed the case, after which
he announced that the overwhelming
testimony was against the verdict,
which was only sustained by the evil
dence of the plaintiff, and that there
was no contract of marriage between
the plaintiff He said he regretted to
try the case again; that he had no
personal feeling in the matter, and
that he might hold a special term of
court next November to hear the case
again. The plaintiff is cheerful and
says that she expects a verdict in the
end. The Federal Court may end the
case.

Earle Fletcher. cOlored, who was
hanged today for the murder Of Bob
Payne, a fellow convict at Flat Top

A CREDITABLE
HOSTELRY
Hayes European Hotel Is Well Kept
And Is Winning Trade.

! A Herald reporter was shown
through the Hayes European Hotel
today by its proprietor, Mr.. Riggs L.
Hayes. This hotel has been running
only about six months, but since its
establishment the aim of the proprie-
tor has been to give to the public the
very best of service. The hotel is run
strictly on the European plan, which
fills the wants of the people far bet
ter than the old-style hotel. The
building has Is sleeping rooms, well
furnished with modern furniture and
fixtures, connected with the office by
electric calls. The rooming depart
ment is conducted on the same plan
as the eating department-you can
rent the rooms for one hour or for
the entire night and the price is based
on the amount of time the room is oc-
cupied. 1t is great convenience for
Columbians catching early and late
trains. Meals are served at all hours.
Rent room and sleep till time for
your train, and the bell boy will call
you in time so there is no possibility
of getting left or missing trains. The
hotel is meeting with popular favor
with travelling men, is conveniently
located, opposite the passenger station
and only a short walk from the bust
ness portion of the city. In conAec-
ton with the hotel Mr.. Hayes conducts
a confectionery, cigar and tobacco
stand, ice cream and cold drink foun-
tain.

ABOUT THE
VALUE OF GEMS
Some Reasons Why Precious Stones
Are Worth so Much Money.
mines and Mining.)

The qualities for which precious
stones are mostly priced are luster,,
transparency efraction and dispersion
of light; although, of course, scarcity
and demand are the principal factors
in determining the market prices;
Tor instance, the emerald today is
treble the value it was only a few
years ago. This is partly caused by
the greater demand, but more on &C
count of the state of war in the coun-
try-viz., Colombia-from which they
principally come is now engaged,
thereby rendering it most difficult for
those engaged in the industry to pro-
cure them.
The emerald mines of Colombia, at
Muzo, and Coscuoz, near Bogota, have
been worked almost continuously since
1868, and have been the means of
supplying the world with the most of
the emeralds of modern times. There
were mines in upper Egypt which
yielded this gem to the nations of
antiquity, but were lost sight of from
the time of the Mohammedan con-
quest until quite recently, when some
attempts at working them were made.
The emerald mines in the Urais
were not known until the eighteenth
entury, and though they yielded fair
y good material for a time, their i'm
ortance is not great, as the stones
ound are not of good enough quality
to pay the rate demanded by the Gov
eminent from the lessees, but they
were reopened in 1900 by syndicate
with little success, so far as can be
learned.
There are many stones holding the
qualities first mentioned in high de-
gree, but they are little known be-
cause, in the first place, they are to
be obtained in larger quantities and
the people engaged in the stone trade
cannot, therefore, make the profits
they are able to do with the scarcer
gems, while because of their abun-
dance and presumably lesser value
they have been given to native cut
tiers, who do not understand the laws
of refraction and reflection, to oper-
ate on, with the result that they are
put on the market and eventually
mounted in jewelry, looking like var
ious colored acid drops and entirely
lacking brilliancy and those sharply
defined facets which give that re1ec-
ion which is the chief charm and
makes the real difference between
he real stone and its, imitation.
The last few years have witnessed
he great strides which the various
fancy gems have made in the public
favor, notably when used in the neck
chain at present these are being
made up with all manner Of colored
