The Sheriff took with him a man who declared he had seen Lynch within a month and talked with him. He gave the address, etc. Arriving in New York the two went to the detective bureau, where plain clothesmen "made a monkey" out of the Sheriff's companion. They said there waa no such address. Sheriff Taylor spent two daya with the man, who seemed never to be able to locate the place where he saw Lynch. The Sher iff left the man there, and thia morning was in communication with the detective bureau, the latter laconically stating that the Kinston detective was in heed of funds.

So far, it is said, the soldiers have been charged .'or at the regular passenger rate by he Norfolk Southern. In other .vords, vouchers have been accepted 'or tickets and the latter charged up 0 the Government at tho regular ate. There will be a big reduction, n all probability, when the Govorn nent comes to settle with ths railroad arencral offices say to a cent a mile traight or something of the sort. It takes a pile of money to maintain c temporary army post at Camp Jlenn. For instance, the men, who ave been in service just a little lore than a month, are anticipating payday soon, at which not less than ne hundred and ten thousand dollars yill be disbursed. Their eats and their ew clothes, including . expensive wcaters, three suits of underdothes pice?, good, serviceable shoes and ew fatigue uniforms and tho like, ill call for the expenditure of an ther great big sum. - GOING ON IN OTHER E.
