 Charge.

After putting Robert Thieme through stiff examination before Referee New ton in the bankruptcy court Saturday Attorney. J. P. Goodhart. counsel for J. Lowenthal & co. of New York. declar- ed that he was satisfied that Thieme had concealed property from his cred itors. Attorney Goodhart told Referee Newton that he would file motion to have the referee order Thieme to turn over to the creditors what he alleges had been concealed,
 Thieme lives at 26 Hamilton street, and was in the cigar making business at 4 Church street. He filed q petition in bankruptcy last July, representing that he did not have anything with which to pay his creditors. Altogether he owes $1,2S5.4O, and all of this, ex- cepting about S100, is due to Lowen5hal & Co for tobacco. The New York firm alleges that Thieme collected money for a large quantity of cigars which were delivered to customers only a few days before the petition in bankruptcy was filed.
 Referee Newton will give a hearing next Saturday upon the petition to com pei Thieme to turn over the prdperty it Is alleged that he has concealed. It will be for the referee to decide If Thieme has the goods or the money in his possession. In case 1t is shown that Thieme has concealed his property from his creditors he is in danger of being sent to jail.

A RIVER OF SALT WATER.

One of the most curious phenomena of geography Is found on the southern coast of the island of Cephalonia, in Greece. It is a stream of salt water which for an unknown period has left the almost tideless sea and flowed in- land with volume sufficient to fur nish water power to two mills For some generations the mills were oper- ated by undershot wheels which took their power from this little river of ocean water They supplied flour to the people of the island until recently, but now they have been dismantled, owing to the competition of larger and better equipped mills. The sea enters the land at four points where the coast is practically on level with the salt waer surface. The four initial streams unite ito form the little river that flows inland in a broken rocky channel un- til 1t finally disappears in the lime stone rock and sinks into the earth This inland flow has continued for sey- eral centuries. It Is far too great for removal by evaporation chemical com bination or even physical absorption, chemical combination, or even physical absorption by pores or caverns in the rocks. What becomes of the water that Is constantly flowing inland and dis appears finally in the Assures that have opened In the limestone? The question has been the subject of much study, but no conclusive answer has been given. It is probable that there is an underground channel which carries the water back into the sea at no great depth below the surface The constant influx of sal water at Cephalonia is duplicated as far as is known, as no other point of the world.-Montreal Standard.
