STEAL GLOBE

The proyerbial mean wan who
stole coins from dead mems eyes
has found a counterpart in Grand
junction in the unknown thief who
has been dismantling the Humane
fountain at the intersection of Rood
and Fifth.
The fountain, which has proven
boon to horses and dogs since its in
stallation last year, was given by
Herman Ensign to the city. The
commissioners provided the fount-
ain with a fine opalescent globe and
electric lamp and the Electric COM
pany furnishes the light free. This
added much to the beauty of the
fountains, as well as to the illumina-
tion of the street at that point.
Saturday night some unknown
thief stole the globe from the fount-
ain. and Sunday night evidently re-
turned and robbed the granite pile
of the electric lamp. This leaves
the fountain without light and takes
much of its ornamental beauty
away.
There seems no trace of the plum
derer. but he will be marked as
Grand functions meanest man if he
is found.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. May 21.-Next Friday an
important meeting of the officials
of the good roads association and
the county commissioners associa-
tion is to be held in Denver. the
object primarily being to urge the
governor to call the legislature in
extraordinary session to enact a law
that will give the state highway com
mission authority to use the inter
nal improvement funds on road
work throughout the state. There is
no doubt of the necessity of i'm
proving the state highways, and that
there should be financial provision
made for the same as early as prac-
ticable. but the governor Is not in
clined to entail an expense on the
state for holding a special session
without any assurance that such a
measure could and would be enact
ed into law. He has stated fire.
quently since the supreme court de-
clared house bill 200 unconstitution-
al that he did not favor calling the
session because he had no assur-
ance that the members would do
their duty. 1t is safe to say that no
extra session will be authorized for
this or any other reason by the gov
ernor

C0rnwells Accounts.

West Chester, Pa, Aug. To-day
brought no untangling of the &C
counts that were SO badly twisted
that they caused Colonel Gibbons
Gray Cornwell, Of this city. to give
up in despair and shoot himself. 1t
developed that, although Cornwell
was the custodian of various estates
and funds totaling more than $685.
600, none Of his clients knew their re-
spective liabilities. It is said that
Cornwell dabbled in the funds indis-
criminately, and either kept no &C.
counts or kept such loose ones that
he lost his whereabouts. 1t is be-
lieved that the financial loss is not
great, however. Disgrace s. rather
than monetary damage is thought to
have been the cause Of CornwelPs
suicide.

HILL IN KENTUCKY JAIL.
Telegram is Received Saying Negro
& Has Been Identified. 4

Richmond, Aug. Practically all
doubt as to the identity of the negro
captured yesterday morning near
Memphis, Tenn, thought to be Reuben
7. Hill, the astounding cashier Of the
True Reformer's Bank, was dispelled
late last night when telegram was
received at police headquarters from
II. H. Simmons saying that the pris-
oner had been positively identified, and
THAT he was then in Jail at Fulton, Ky.
Chief of Police Werner replied. order
ing that the man be brought at once to
this city, and added that the reward OF
$4,000, offered by the True Reformers,
would be paid Immediately upon his
Identification. F. Ross, president of
the United Order, True Resormers,
after hearing the news last hight stat
ed that the order had in hand certi-
fed check for the amount, which
would be paid as sson as Hill! is de-
livered to the local authorizes. IN ad-
dition his captors will be paid the
amount of their mileage.
Early yesterday the police depart
ment received a telegram from Sim
mons, who is a private detective, tell
ing them of the capture of Hill and
making inquiries about the reward.
Meantime a telegram was sent
to William ]. Haynes, Chief Of Police
of Memphis, inquiring about the ar
rest. He replied that Hill was under
arrest in Fulton, Ky. In accordance
with the orders of Chief Werner, Hill
was probably started on his homeward
Journey last night, and is expected to
arrive here sometime tomorrow.

CULPEPER HAS BIG FIRE
Town Caught Mapping When Blaze
Started Yesterday.

Culpeper, Va, August 6.-Culpeper
was visited early this morning by one
of the most dangerous fires in the his
tory of the town. While the tota! loss
may not exceed $4,000, it seemed at
one time as if the heart OF the busln-
ess section would be wiped out.
The buildings destroyed were those
of the Culpeper Grocery Company,
Longs Feed and Grist Mill and the es-
Establishment of Thomas & Son dealers
in stoves and tinware. The burned
buildings were located just west of the
tracks of the Southern Ry. Company
near the depot. The fire originated
about 1.3O o'clock in Longs feed mill
a large brick building erected last fall
at a cost Of $4,000, by G. G Long
and his father, formerly of Brandy
Station. Up-to-date machinery had
recently been installed.
Culpeper has no fire company wor-
thy of the name, the volunteer COM
pany possessing only limited amount
of hose with no hook and ladder truck.
There was practically no wind blowing
vet the flames spread slowly but sure
ly, to the wholesale establishment OF
the Culpeper Grocery Company, a
brick structure.
Despite the vigorous efforts Of prac-
tically the entire male population of
the town, this structure, together with
it's contents was burned. The flamS
next Jumped across to w. A. Thomas
& Sons storeroom, dangerously near
the business section. The building was
flooded with water and it was here at
4:3O o'clock that the fire was finally
conquered.
The volunteers fought valiantly to
save other structures in the vicinity
notably, the old Starck Building, big
brick affair, and their efforts were re-
warded with success.
Culpeper has a good water supply
and that the fire did not result more
disastrously was due to the fact that
a strong pressure was secured and the
buildings in close proximity were fair
ly flooded.

CHARGE AGAINST BECKER
Important Document in Hands of Dis
trict Attorney.

New York, Aug. detectives ear
ly today announced that they had
found on telephone operator's sheet
a record Of the telephone call that
"Jack" Rose says he made to Lieuten-
ant Charles Becker about twenty
minutes after the murder Of gambler
Herman Rosenthal. District Attorney
Whitman believes this to be about the
most valuable confederation of Roses
confession duplicating the indicted po-
lice lieutenant. 1t gave added I'M
portance to SO page statement pre-
pared by Rose and turned over to
Whitman purporting to tell all of
Roses graft collecting transactions
for Becker that the imprisoned lnfor-
mer could give from memory. Dis
trict Attorney Whitman refused to
make public the document, saying that
he wanted to place it in the hands of
private detectives in order that they
might work on it, but it was learned
that the written confession was full
account of Roses alleged relations
with Becker from the time he said the
lieutenant sought to drive him out of
the East Side year ago.
1t purported to name all the gamb-
ling houses from which Rose collected
graft for Becker amounts for protect
ion by each and when, and the other
officials of the police department to
whom Becker told Rose he paid part
of the money. 1t was said that the
statement of Rose implicated many
men "higher up"
A published assertion today that W..
J. Burns had obtained evidence against
grating police department officials
by opening a gambling house and pay
ing protection" money was positi-
,vely denied by the detectives and Dis
trict Attorney Whitman said he knew
nothing about any such scheme.

NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
POISON IN COFFEE KILLS
Wealthy Farmer the victim-Others
Made Ill.

Harrisonburg, Va, Aug. 6.-UnderI
circumstances suggesting foul play
George M. Nicholas, 50 years old, an
eccentric, hermit-like former Confede-
rate soldier, and one of the wealthiest
farmers in the country died last night
from the effects of drinking poisoned
coffee.
His housekeeper, Miss Jane Hopkins
and two farm laborers, James Taylor
and Richard Brown, the latter a negro,
were made deliberately i'll by the cof-
fee. Several others at the table in.
Guiding C. H Nicholas of Harrison
burg, a brother of the dead man, drank
no coffee and escaped harm.
DR.. Frank Miller, of Goods Mill,
worked heroically with the four suf-
ferers for several hours. Antidotes
were administered. All responded to
treatment except Mr.. Nicholas who
got out of his bed and died sitting in
his Cnalr al ISI iloutS VI eSOhS' wi
oner Biedler, of Harisonburg made an
autopsy on the body this morning.
Sheriff Carickhoff and Common
wealth's Attorney Harrison are on the
scene. 1t is reported that threats had
been made on the aged mans life.
Mr.. Nicholas, who had never mar
ried, had accumulated fortune esti-
mated at over 5000, 600, and lived alone
on his 400 acre farm. His housekeep-
err was the only other occupant of the
house.
In the war he had leg shot off in
West Virginia engagement. He
made wooden leg with his own hands
and wore it the rest of his days. For
weeks, it is said, he would never 60 to
bed. Many other stories of his eccen-
tricities are told.
