TOE ' TIflE ITOR - NUMBER 8,908. RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 24, 1899. A BIG ROBBERY 25 CENTS A MONTH. SPREADING ADDER. This pearly 500, Stoleft from Nel son Williams. HIS NEPHEW THE THIEF Chief Mullen and Officer Thompson Oet Back all Except About $35, Henley Williams the Thief. The home of Nelson Williams, a col . ored farmer, who lives about four miles from Raleigh, between Dr. R, H. Lewis' farm and Rogers ponds, was entered on the afternoon of June 22nd and near ly 600 in money stolen. .Nelson Williams kept his money con cealed in a closet to his room. This closet was locked, but the house was not. The robber broke the lock to the closet and took the money. Williams re ported the matter to Chief Mullen and that be suspected his nephew Henry Williams, a worthless negro loafer. Chief Mullen and Detective Thompson started to work on the. case and Henry was soon arrested-. Officer Thompson found in the pos session of a woman in Sawyer's bot tom 305 in green backs which Henry had left with her, , The prisoner was then carried out to Oberlin to his home and there $84 iu money was found buried in the ground. Thus $449 was gotton back and it is not thought that the thief could have gotten more than $35 above this amount. Henry Williams was given a hearing before the Mayor this afternoon and sent to jail to await the next term of the court. ODD FELLOWS - What the Order is Doing Throughout the State A record breaker, Nense lodge. Forty at one time and more to follow. The brethren in Goldsboro are delight ed. Deputy Grand Master Jacobi with the team did some good work for Neuse lodge. The Orphan children of the Home are delighted to be told about the great increase in the order. Bro. A. B. Freeman, District Deputy nt Hendersonville, writes that they have initiated fourteen and are getting up the second club. They have organized a good working staff and he says will soon nave one of the best lodges in the State. Dr. John H. Pool, P. G. M. of South Mills, writes that his lodge is getting up a club. There was a little objection raised by one or two members at first but they are now as earnestly at work as any. That is the right spirit. It shows them to bo men of the right stamp. San ford Lodge has elected eleven to membership and invited some of the Ra leigh brethren to go over on the evening of July the 7th and put the work on the floor for them. We can assure the Sau ford brethren that Raleigh will respond most cheerfully. . Bryan Lodge at Elkin, Pilot MountaTnf JAMge at 1'Uot Mountain, Clinton Lodge nt Clinton Ocracoke Lodge at Ocracoke have all elected good clubs and are hav ing work all the time. Hano.-or at Wilmington, Cordon at Salisbury, Bethel at Bethel, Manteo, and Seaton Gales at Raleigh, Hot Springs at Hot Spring, Phoeniv at Burlington and Golden Link at Durham are getting up clubs, with several others to hear from. We earnestly wish that every member of our order, and most especially some or tne skeptical ones, could go to our Orphan Home and talk with the boys there about the order. If they could see the deep aeatc earnest interest de picted upon their faces when talking about the order, and hear their intelli gent, but eager questions about how many were going to join and what kind of men were coming In jvith many other matters that we might think they had never thought of it would astonish them, and we dare say bring the blush of - shame to the cheek of many who take so little interest hi their" lodges. These orphan boys are in earnest. They know foil well that their future prospects in life,' their citizenship and their man hood, greatly depend upon Odd Fellows ship. Without the fostering care of our fraternity they may be deprived Of their outnrignc a oirtnngnt which no child ought to he deprived of. That birth right of good citizenship and an ability to obtain an honest living. Then remembering the solemn coven ant that was entered into; by which ev ery Odd Fellow called upon the Deity , to witness and to assist in the protection of the seed of our brother, now hence forth and forever, we can better realise our relationship to the boys and girlr which providence has, for some good reason, placed in our care. The children left without a mother's care or a father's providing can more easily realise how dear to them is the Home, without which they might receive no shelter. They of all others are interested, even if - wo should forget our convenant. Do wo wonder at this? Adder Laid Thirty-Three Eggs in Museum Xesterday.

Thursday (St. Peter's Day) l6 Messrs. E. L. Travis, W. H. Osboru and W. C. Newlnnd, comprising the Ex ecutive Board of the.Korth Carolina Penitentiary, were iu session last even- I iug. This morning Chairman Travis gave out the following circular letter which will be sent to the creditors of rhc penitentiary. Dear Sir: Replying to your letter in- formiug us that the State Treasurer m fuses to pay our warrant sent you, w beg to say: That ou the 7th day o March, 1S99, the Legislature of North Carolina passed an Act (Chapter HOT, Laws of 1899) directing the issue of State bonds to the amount of $110,000 iu raise iimo. 10 pay tne now oiyH standing indebtedness of the State pris on. These bonds were sold for $120, 202.50, which is now in the Treasurer's hands. Section 5 of said Act provides tnat tue Treasurer shall hold this mon ey "as a separate and distinct fund lor the payment of tho aforesaid indebted ncss." It further provides, "said fnud snail be paid out by the said State Treasurer only upon the warrant of E. L. Travis, W. II. Osborn and W. C. Ncwland, constituting tho Execute Board, who are to audit and pass upon all claims and accounts against said State's prison. In compliance with that statute, wo have audited all these accounts and drawn our warrants upon this fund p'ac ed there subject to oiir order, and sent them to the parties entitled. We have performed our duty, and done nil that the statute required of us. That same statute requires the Treasurer to pay this fund out upon our warrant, and if he sees fit to disregard the law niul refuse to do it, it is not in our power to make him. Only tho holders of th. warrants have a right of action against him to compel payment. The Treasurer knew more" "lb nil ; month ago that we were auditing thesi accounts, up to March 6, but gave us no notice that he would refuse to pay them until all of them had been issued and mailed to the parties. It appears to us that the Treasurer in undertaking to audit the accounts cove ed by our warrants, and strike out all items after December 31, 1S!)S. as not being payable out of this fund, is not only going outside his own duties aud arrogating to himself the powers of ibis Hoard, but is giving to the. Act u con struciotn utterly untenable. Tho Aet speaks as of the day of its ratification (March 7, 1899,) and provides for the payment of the then outstanding indebt edness. No other dates is mentioned or referred to in the Act at all, and he cau no more reasonably fix the debt period at December 31, than he can fix it nt the date of the discovery of America. Chapter 679, providing for an appro priation for the maintenance of the pris on for 1899 and 1900 has nothing what ever to do with the former Act. It was passed March 8, and was intended to provide for support from that time for ward, the other Act having already pro vided for the settlement of everytuiug to that date. Furthermore, the appropria tion is merely a contingent fund, placed in the Treasurer's hands to be used at the discretion of the Executive Bcaid. Nothing compels us to use it in Januai.v and February or at any particular time. It is entirely in our discretion to hold it Hart of New York is Backing Mr. ,foraan at tne UarroUton.

It is very important to this histitu tion and to the State that his Board should mainain its position in this mat ter, for the reason that if we do the prison will be put in a position to do all its buying for cash (which was the aim of the Legislature), and thereby Etne in its purchases alone $10,000 to ?0,(K)0 per year. But if we recede from our position, and our appropriation for this year s support is absorbed in the pay ment of back debts, it will have to buy on credit, and with its present record for slow payment no one could etpect otherwise than that it would be charged very high prices, and its purchases wou'd cost $20,000 more than if made for cash In short, the State would be paying interest on this bond fund to lie idle in the treasury, and at the same time, through its institution, be buying on time at a loss of $20,000 a year foirthe want of cash; and that in face of the fact that this fund was raised for the express purpose of putting this institution on a cash basis, We have every disposition -to oblige the creditors of the institution in any way possible, but we cam not recedi from our position which we are so confi dent is right, when to do ao would re sult in so great an embarrassment of the institution and loss to the State, ind must therefore decline to change the warrants, and Insist that the Treasurer be made to pay them as the statute directs him to do. Yours truly, : E. L. TRAVIS, - - Chairman Executive Board. Treasurer Worth said today that un der the law, construed by the Attorney General, there was nothing else he could do.

Wilson, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasu ry, has issued to all collectors a circular letter explanatory of the changes made in the civil service rules affecting their nuiies Dy tne recent order of the Presi dent. Commissioner Wilson says: "The office of Deputy Collect ir of In ternal Revenue is removed fi-oui the competitive classified list, and collectors are at liberty to make such changes, by removal and appointment, as In their judgment the welfare of tho public ser vice may dictate, but persons r.ppointed to that office are subject to an examina tion to be prescribed by the Secretaiy of the Treasury. The offices of gaugsr, sloreheener and storekeeper gauger, where the comptn sation does not excaed S3 n (lav. or shall not exceed in the aggregate $500 a year, are removed from the competi tive classified service, but persons ap pointed to said offices are subject to an examination to be prescribed by the Sec retary of the Treasury. "Referring to gauger, storekeepers aud storekeeper gangers in commission ou May 2W, 1899, who were removed from the competitive classified service by Executive order of that date, your attention is called to the fact that the Secretary of tho Treasury is the execu tive officer who makes appointments and removals of such officers, and that it is his purpose that removals in that brauch of the service shall be only for just cause and for reasons given in writing and satisfactory to him. "A change of designation from clerk to deputy collector, for the purpose of dispensing with the services of a clerk in the classified competitive service, is not consistent with the civil service law and rules and will not be permitted. "Appointments and reinstatements are to be made in the internal revenue ser vice ouly when the necessities Of the ser vice require them, with due regard to the rule of this office in regard to store keepers and other distillery officers, namely, that the number of unossigned officers shall not exceed 15 per cent, of the number assigned to duty. "To fill vacancies occurring by death, resignation or removals made under the terms of this circular; or to meet exi gencies of the service requiring addition al appointments, collectors are author ized to recommend for appointment to places not now embraced in the competi tive classified list suitable persons for the service required, the apointees to be subject to an examination to be pre scribed by the Secretary of the Treasu ry as herein indicated. "Gaugers,, storekeepers and store keeper gaugers whose compensation ex ceeds the rates named in this circular and clerks in collectors offices will con tinue to be appointed front eligible lists certified by the Civil Service Commis sion, or by reinstatement, under the rules governing appointments in the classified competitive service."
