GERMAN OFFICER
CLEAVES CITIZEN
Causing Fresh Burst of Indignation To
Break Out in Alsace Town--Serious
Rioting and Bloodshed Is Feared.

Zabern, Alsace, Germany, Dee. a.
Lieutenant Baron Won Forstner, who
started the trouble between the troops
and civilians here by referring scornfully
to the citizens, aroused still further in
dignation to-day by cutting down lame
shoemaker with his sabre and dangerous
Iy wounding him.
Won Forstner was leading his company
into the country to go through the morn
ing drill, when group of workmen
recognized him while passing through a
small village. The workmen hooted the
officer, who sent armed soldiers in pur-
suit. The infantrymen succeeded in
catching only the lame shoemaker, who
resisted arrest.
Won Forstner came up and deliberately
struck him on the head with the sharp
edge of his sabre. This fresh incident
has created such tension in this vicinity
that serious bloodshed is feared unless
the unpopular officer is transferred inn
mediately.

HAD MONEY THAT BURNED.
But William T. Carley Saved Enough Of
$50 Remnants To Get Money Back.

It was the four weeks ago yesterday
afternoon that William I. Carley, a
stone cutter living at Is Prospect street,
handed his wife $50 in bills. Some 10
minutes less than. four weeks ago the
same afternoon, Mrs. Carley gathered up
some gingham remnants from her lap
and emptied them into the kitchen range
with the paper currency, $50. Shift
ing the scenery again, yesterday Mr..
Carley came out OF the Granite Savings
bank with crisp roll of new bills, $50
worth. For it may be stated here that
he happened to see his wife when she
accidentally dumped the so into the fire
and was able to rescue the frayed ends
of every bill That is now he happened
to get his money back, although there
were anxious days when it looked as
though the government would refuse to
honor the scorched paper.
The moment Mrs. Carley discovered
that she had been feeding the fire such
expensive fuel her husband did dash
across the room and managed TO snatch
a blazing handful of gingham and bills
out of the Goals. Most of the matter
was burned to crisp, but he managed
to sort out the recognizable corners of
a 20, 10 and four fve-spots, which he
later carried to the banks. Some peo-
pie suggested that Mr. Carley would get
a good lesson in cautiousness from his
experience and that would be about all.
or words to that effect. 1t hardly
seemed to them as though Uncle Sam
would be willing to invest in $50 worth
of charred banknotes.
However, the officials of the Granite
bank told Mr.. Carley they would do the
best they could for him. His collection
of paper was sent to the banks Boston
the First National bank,
and from there it was turned over to
the treasury department at Washington,
d. c., with a recital of the circum-
stances surrounding its partial incinera-
tion. The local bankers got reply yes
terday and were able to turn the face
value of the remnants over to Mr.. Car
ley in the afternoon.

CALL wINDHAM, N. H., MAN.
Graniteville Presbyterians Wish t.
Secure Rev. Fred McNeil's Services.

Presbyterians of Graniteville voted in
congregational meeting last night to ex-
tend call to Rev Fred Mcneil who is
now supplying the church at Windham,
\. H. There was large gathering of
Presbyterians at the church when Rev.
Duncan Salmond, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, this city, called the
meeting to order. He acted as moderator
during the evening and when the ques-
tion of calling Rev. Mr.. McNeill came
up for consideration there was hardly a
dissenting vote.
The Graniteville Presbyterian church
has been without pastor since the res
ignation of Rev. George Macarthur be-
came effective early in October. 1t is
understood that the names of several
elergymen have been under considera-
tion with the result that the candidacy
of Rev. Mr.Neil commended itself in q
very favorable way to the congregation,
1t is not definitely known that he will
accept. The call is extended through
the Boston presbytery and will later be
forwarded to Rev Mr.. Mcneil. Parish
toner's of the Graniteville church are
anxious to secure pastor as early as
possible and if the Windham clergy
man accepts the call he will be asked to
begin his duties in the near future.
