Chief,' of Detectives Whalen is gtv

They were traced to $rllmlngton,

The finding of the board shows
that the clerk has as receiver Invest

Mr. Humphrey has Invested funds be

on sums so Invested except those held
by him as receiver.
The difference In the clerk's ad

board declines to allow said assets
to offset the indebtedness to his of

upon which to exercise bis sklK.'Ths
prayerbobk has a special petition for
the safety of those wbo go down to
the sea in *h!ps, and evgry one who
ventures to leave the shore goes forth
with a consciousness of awe at his
own daring. Yet In tbe Intricate com
plexity of modern civilization safety
on land and safety at sea have walk
ed by no means with equal step. Every
morning brings us some story xtt
death or accident on land, while the
tfreat passenger ships come and go
In monotonous regularity, bringing no
reports more stirring than those of
high sees that have kept them from

With the present msdness for speed
and Its attendant recklessness, our
Streets demand constant alertness,
ff one would qross them with ssfety.
Speed st sea has come through larger
snd more stoutly constructed ships.
So the familiar old story of the sailor
man at sea in a storm who, serene In I
his consciousness of ample sea room,
piously ejaculated. "God help the poor I
folks ashore to-night!" is not wholly
fantastic.
Imitation Pstlns.
The best method of obtaining a

to the Metallarbelter, Vienna, Is to
Immerse the article in a solution of

ing an abundance of carbonic acid.
The fermenting room of a brandy dis
tillery la specially adapted for this
purpose, aB, besides containing car
bonio acid. It has a rather high tem
perature, which materially aids the
formation of the coating. In this case
the development^ the grefen incrus
tation may be observed from diay to
day; if after about a week the object
has not yet obtained the proper color
It must be agaia dipped in the kbove
solution, and this operation repeat
ed till the desired shade has been
acquired. As the formation of patins
under these conditions proceeds In
the same way as in the open air, but
mpre rapidly, a handsome and perma
nent coating can be produced by this
maaa*.

WHITE MAN AND NIT**
TWO MEN ATTEMPT TO CROH8
ROANOKE RIVER WITH DROVE
OF HOR8KS AND MKET WITH
FATAL ACCIDENT.
Scotland Neck, N. C., Feb. 18. ?
There was a Had and distressing ac
cident Sunday at Hills ferry near
Palmyra on the Roanoke river. In
which two persons were drowned, a
white man named Octavius Ryman,
son of Mr. E. Hyman, of that place,
and a colored man named Richard
Whcdbee, of Portsmouth, Va. Ed
ward Boswell. who was taking a
drove of horses from Rocky Mount
back to Virginia, was transporting
his horses across Roanefc^ river on a
flatboat. He was accompanled'by the
ferryman, Frank Slaten, Whcdbee
and Hynpn. It is said that the fer
ryman and the young white man
were somewhat under the Influence
Mqupr. and by irregular
handling the yhorses all gathered to
one corner of the flat, which caused
It to dip water and sink.
The ferryman and the horse drover
succeeded in getting to shore, but
Whedbee was drowned at lonce. The
young white man was rescued into a
small boat but In some way the boat
failed to get him to shore and he was
drowned. His body was soon recov
ered. but the colored man's body had
not been found at last hearing from
the scene of the disaster.
Young Hyman was 29 yeariL old
and- unmarried and his uiHfljkly
death cast a gloom over the coitoiu
nlly In which he lived. He was quite
tall and It Is said that a day or two
before his death, standing near some
very long burial caseB, he remarked
thfct they might Bave ope of them for
him.
The horses which went down with
the flat were saved and the drove
passed through Scotland Neck later
in the day presumably making their
way to Weldon. where they might
cross the Roanoke River on the coun
ty bridge.
Mr. Boswell remained at Palmyra
until yesterday, making vain efforts
to recover the body of the colored
man who was drowned.
EXCITEMENT
.lolin Hawkins Arrested antl Brought
to This City For a Hearing. ?
Now Under Bond.
Much excitement prevailed in Bel-]
i haven yesterday until the arrest of
John Hawkins. On Wednesday he
had taken possession of Mr. W. M.
McKinney's drug store and was for
tified with two pistols, defying arrest.
He would pei ir.lt people to enter but
?kept; them from approaching him.
He was finally decoyed to the door
and arrested by .M. M. .lone* and R.
I-.. Surles and then takgn before M^
J. A. cLlgb. recorder, and ti^ed for
assault with deadly weapon on Ed
McCoy and W. M. McKlnney and for
resisting an officer. He was bound
over to court and bond fixed at $1200
in default of which he was commit
ted to jail.
This morning application by his
attorney, N. L. , Simmons, -was made
before Judge J^ergerson for writ of
habeas corpus and a reduction" in the
amount of bond. Upon the hearing
boad was reduced to $300 which, It
Is said, he will be able to give.
The troublew as the result of an
affray between Hawkins and McKln
ney the day before.
It is Indeed fortunate that no se
rious crime was committed.
The beautfrul girl tiptoed Into the
library, where her father was reading
the sporting page and nursing a gouty
foot.
"He? he has come, father," she
faRered.
''Who has co mo 7" roaVed the old
gentleman.
"Why, George.
"What! Didn't he promise never
to cross, my threshold again?"
"He? he didn't cross your threshold,

SITtlffl SERIOUS
in t ie City S
Paris, Feb. 17. ? Unprecedented %
storms lashed Prance today, adding
to the havoc wrought by the tempest*
of the- last three days. Landslides
and avalanches In the departments in
the Alps endanger towns and tourists
resrts. Winds of cyclonic force have
blown down several bouses in Mar
seilles. Snow has derailed trains.
The only relieving note in the reports
that came in today was the lack of
rain in the valley of the Seine, and
fall in the river at Paris.
When dawn came the crest of the
third flood this disastrous year was
past. The situation in the city, nev
ertheless, was serious. Suburbs that
escaped in the second flood were In
ters of Crenelle, Javal and _ Passy
Btreets are yet under water. In some
places to a depth of more than three
feet. At Ivey and Corbelt vast areas
are deserted and there Is grave dan
ger of the collapse of houses whose
foundations have Seen sapped again
and again by the fluctuating rivers.
Champigny. Rry, Varcnnes, Nogant
and St. Maur, all suburbs, have been
invaded by the last inundation. The
Tood problem is again paramount. As
sach hour brings fresh news of the
devastation wrought along the rail
road lines on which the city depends
Tor its supplies, the seriousness of
the predicament becomes more ap
parent.
In the refuge camps on the out
skirts sufferfng Is Intense, and in the
refuges- opened within the city con
gestion Ib great. Although the au
thorities by now have the distribu
tion system on a well work I basis,
the menace of lowered supplies today
made at aptmrent that 'hatt ratloVs
will soon be the order unless there
Ic a quick return for the belter. .
