Cleveland will she made two years be-
fore her strange criminal career was ex-
posed. There is a remarkable contrast
between the pathetic funeral scene in the
little Canadian cemetery and the picture
OF opulence told in the words Of the will.
Altogether the document is one Of the
most interesting yet found in connection
with Mrs. Chadwick's operations. The
Will disposed of over S1,O00,0O0 worth of
property, in which her son, daughter and
husband. a retinue of servants. relatives
in distant cities and friends all were to
share TO the extent of hundreds of thou

them. including Charity, Cleveland and
Lakeside hospitals, are remembered TO the
extent of $4,000 to 100000 each. The
Humane Society was to get $4,000.

object of favor, was bequeathed $780,

that made since her Imprisonment. In
any event it would have been totally in

located was a comparatively thin one,
lying in the heart of thick seam of the
bituminous coal. The company was busy
with its operations when the Civil War
broke out. but continued at work for

But the war came and the Paint creek
section was as badly torn by opposing
factions as any other small part of the
entire country. The natives were of the

to work in the mines were Union men,

Adkins was a regular fire-eating son of

Wise on his famous retreat up the val

the autumn he returned home on a fur

lations with the Gordons, but was repuls-
ed by both father and daughter. 1t is
said that in a spirit of revenge he set
fire to the drumhouse of the mouth of
the mine. The fire was communicated to
the rich vein of camel coal inside, and,
obtaining a good hold, has been burning
ever since.
Adkins returned to his regiment and
was killed in battle. The Gordons left
the country soon after, and their subse-

In the late sos a company was form
ed by Charleston men to eXtinguish the
fire and reopen the mine, but, after spend
ing $4,000 in a vain attempt, the enter
prise was abandoned. 1t is probable that
the fire will be allowed to burn until the
entire vein of coal is consumed. Of late
it has been burning visibly at night, the
extent being perhaps 100 yards along
the face of the mountain.

Tobacco Trust Makes Answer.

The American Tobacco Company has
filed its answer in the suit begun by the
United States Government last July. The
answer of the trust and of the co-defend-
ants. including Thomas +. Ryan, James
B. Duke. Oliver ii. Payne and Anthony
N Brady. directors. is that while the
trust has combined many companies and
interests into one it has no power to con-
troll the industry in which it engages.
The trust holds that so long as brands of
cigars remain in existence competition
cannot be destroyed. because it is a strug-
gle between brands. and not between fac
tories 1t holds that brands have their
strength in the fact that tobacco is lux
ury the consumer desiring only that his
taste shall be satisfied. The trust denies.
that the United Cigar Stores Company,
which aims to monopolize the retail trade,
was started by the American Tobacco
Company 1t credits this vast retail
business to George J. Whalen and asso-
ciates. and says that they entered the
field in spite Of the opposition of the
trust 1t is admitted that now the trust
owns 100000 out of 100000 worth OF
stock in the United Cigar Stores Com

EMBEZZLER Is ARRESTED.
Confidential Clerk Detected When
He Pockets Money.


Confessing he had stolen an amount
now estimated at 100000 from the stock
exchange firm of James n. Oliphant &
Co, 20 Broad street, New York, for
which he had been confidential manager
for six years, George n. Brouwer was ar
rested in his home in Brooklyn and plac-
ed under $4,000 bail The basis for the
indictment was not Brouwer's populations
from the Oliphant firm, but for convert
ing to his own account the proceeds of a
check for $3.50 which should have been
turned over to Jay Z. Carlisle. member
OF the stock exchange. Mr.. Carlisle is
wealthy and is a son-in-law of Robert
A. Pinkerton, who died last month. Al
though there was a report that the en-
bezzlement would amount 10 100000,
this was denied by James H. Oliphant.
When Mr.. Carlisle was about TO go to
Europe this summer he con6ded many OF
his affairs to Brouwer, among them the
negotiations for the sale of a farm in the
Berkshires. It was the understanding
that If the farm were disposed of the
proceeds should be turned over by Brou-
wer to the Oliphant firm and accredited to
Mr.. Carlisle's account. The farm was
sold by Brouwer and a check for the
price, $3.50, was received by him. In
stead, however, of turning over this check
to the firm, he Endorsed it and put the
cash in his pocket Mr.. Carlisle did not
return from abroad until recently, and it
was only few days ago that he began
an accounting of his affairs with Brou-
wer. Then he learned that the price of

out With this admission Brouwer made
the confession that he had taken other
money from Mr.. Carlisle and that he had
robbed the Oliphant firm as well.
