In the numerous transacLions with the banks of the State such packages are received as marked without a count, parties sealing same being responsible for any shortage that might occur.

Respectful submitted, William Berney, Special Examiner. W. S. White, State Auditor. Sworn to and subscribed before me, this Oct.

1st 1898 John B. Rousseau J. PI Adjutant John Vidmer of the 2nd Alabama, was one of the callers at the Capitol yesterday. 'He and the Governor had a happy shat. The Adjutant, ever since the boys were furloughed, has been ill with yellow jaundice at his home in Mobile.

Walter Brassell of the State Board of received a telegram from Starkville, a small northeastern Mississippi town, that there were two suspicious cases of illness in a college near the town. Mr. Brassell wired his informant, R. Chapman, inspector, to include Starkville in list of quarantined points. Dr.

J. F. Hunter, Secretary of the Mississippi Board of Health at Jackson, was also telegraphed to for information. Meantime Dr. Sanders is prosecuting his investigation of the reported epidemic of dengue in Jacksonville.

Military men here believe that the alleged epidemic will result in nothing more than yellow jaunlire, a malady which has been exceedIngly popular among the Seventh Army Corps soldiers. The Governor tolay appointed W. E. Hansberger of North Birmingham, a justice of the peace and J. J.

Morris of Geneva, notary public. By the way, Attorney General Fitts said yesterday morning that in the flush days of Tuscaloosa the father and mother of Robert 'A. Van Wyck, the Mayor of Greater New York, and Augustus Van Wyck, the nominee for the same position, resided there. From 1830 to 1840 Mr. Van Wyck conducted a general merchandise store in Tuscalocsa.

The raises in valuations in Jeffers County. made by the tax commissioner amount to $3,000,000. A good story is going the rounds of the capitol about Lieutenant Colonel MoDonald, recently appointed chief mustering out officer for the Alabama, troops, and It has to do with a pair of ears, the malice of a negro enemy and an Investigation by secret esrvice men. While the lieutenant colonel of the First Alabama was at West Point a negro of South Carolina secured a cadetship and hustled at once for patrician honors. When he arrived at West Point he was speedily informed by a committee of which it is alleged the colonel was spokesman that his ap- PURE GRAPE CREAM TARTAR POWDER PRICES BAKING POWDER Awarded Highest Honors, World's Fair Medal, Midwinter Fair pointment was without precedent and that he would have to leave.

The Legro demurred and concluded he would remain no matter happened. The boys almost immedtately began to manifest their disapproval of the negro's presence among them a manner calculated to inspire fear and trembling. This is called "hazing, but in the 'basing" the negro never received any permanent injury. One night, powever, the negro claimed to have undergone a severe thrashing during which the lights were extinguished. While the lights were out the negro "plebe" lost his ears.

He acquainted the authorities of the tact and alleged that Lieutenant Colonel McDonald had sawed them off. great scandal, scandal that shook the old walls of West Point to their very tounuation, was the inevitable result, and of course young McDonald fell under the ban of government suspicion and displeas ire. The investigation which followed extremely rigid and for weeks there were always three or four secret service men hanging about West At last when it looked as if McDonald was to be thrust out of the academy, together with several others, the deteetive sprung a sensation by stating that they had found that the negro cadet had out off his own ears in order to revenge himself upon McDonald, seeking to place the latter in the penitentiary. At the court all these facts were established, and the tables turned on the negro, who was sent to the penitentiary for two years. Judge Purifoy, Examiner of Public accounts, in his report to the Governor on the condition of the books and accounts of W.

G. Harper, clerk of the Circuit. Court of Coffee County, Ands a shortage of $322. This shortage is attributed by the Examiner to errors. The Assistant Examiner of Pubile Accounts, Mr.

W. R. Foster, after examining the office of Mr. J. M.

Humphrey, deceased, ex-sheriff of Thiscaloosa County, from the beginning of his term of office until his successor was named, has given His Excellency a statement showing that he owed the State $7.07. This discrepancy is also due to an error. Ex-Sheriff E. Moore and the present Sheriff of Tuscaloosa County, C. S.

Shirley, are also reported off in thier accounts anywhere from $5 to $14. The Assistant Examiner examined the books, papers and accounts of Mr. J. 0. Prude, Clerk of the Circuit Court, ex-officio clerk of the County Court, and of the County Law and Equity Court, from the beginning of his term of office to July 1 last.

He found that in several cases when defendants with sureties have confessed judgment for fine and cost that Mr. Prude has talled to issue executions for the solicitors' fees and as this money could in all probability have been collected he charged him up with these items, which amounts to $54.88, interest to date having been added. Further Mr. Foster Ands that Mr. Prude (has failed to tax up and issue executions for feed bills, in all cases where defendants and sureties have confessed judgment.

On this account he is due the State the sum of $444.33, interest to be added. These shortages are also chargeable to error and following the practice of a predecessor.

R. M. McFarland Held to the Grand Jury--Merry Times at Court. Court street, when he met Mr. Bill Green, a clerk employed at that place.

a The latter told him that he had just received such a watch as he described, and this proved to be the case. The man who pawned it, according to the statement of Green was R. M. McFarland and this is the name recorded on the books of the establishment. Green said he gave the prisoner $3.50.

This transaction is said to have taken plate at noon or thereabouts. The defendant did not deny that te had pawned the trinket when put on the stand, but said he found it en the pavement 20 feet north of Levy's. He said he never noticed the monogram, 0. on the case and did not know who owned It. Besides this he said that he was not In Levy's at 11 o'clock though he was there at 10:30 o'clock.

Detective Payne stated that McFarland when brought before Chief Gerald, denied that he had pawned a watch. Questioned regarding this, he told the court he could not recollect what he had said. MoFarland's attarney made no argument and the recorder, as he ordered him held to the grand jury, remarked that the provecution had.a very strong case. The watch, which is a lady's, is valued at $7.50 and when new cost about $14. MoFarland has been working about livery stables since bis residence here.

"Bill" Thompson and Josenh Stephenson are two negroes who made it deridedly interesting for each other in the stall of a certain livery stable the other day. Both repudtated the sation at the outside, but the evidence showed that the word liar is bad as fire to play with. "Bill," in his capacity of hustler, objected to Joseph's removing or touching some harness which was on a peg. There was som.thing in the language which "BI" employed that Joseph did not like, so he said: "Yo iz gettin' mighty biggety about It." "No I haint. I spoke to yo' kinely.

told you not to tech it." "You're a liar!" came the retort. "You're another!" was the quick reply. then Thompson picked up scantling and began to assault Joseph. The latter feil. So did Bill.

Then Bill and Joseph rolled over, and dually Joseph succeeded in placing his opponent hors du combat. While in this position Bill's face was badly caressed. When Frank Garrett, Thomas White and Robert Lee had separated them. they declared to the Recorder, BHI pulled knife. In the grand Anale In the city Bastile is a tallish, yellow mustached man.

Hie face is rather emaciated and his beard has been growing for several days. He is charged with having stolen a watcha cheap one at that-from S. P. Odell, a salesman employed at Levy's clothing store, 19 South Court street, and held to await the action of the grand jury, under $300 bonds. Mr.

R. M. McFarland says he did not steal the time piece, circumstances went against him in the recorder's court yesterday afternoon, and meanwhile a pretty wife and three children weap for a husband and father in a little home at 333 Monroe street. MoFarland was arrested by Detective Payne Monday on the representatives of S. P.

Odell, who alleged in court that the defendant entered his store at 11 a. m. and commenced 10 talk with him. Odell testified that he had known the prisoner quite a while and that they were friends. He said that at the time he was marking goods and that McFarland began to joke with him, saying he could do such work mush better than the witness.

Then Odell stated to Recorder Tarver that the prisoner departed, and 20 minutes afterward he missed the watch which had in the watch pocket of his trousers. After court, It might be mentioned here, Odell told An Advertiser man that the defendant had playfully jabbed him with his fist and that in the Jabbing the watch must have disappeared. When Odell found his watch gone he suspected that his visitor had taken it. His employer, he asserted to the court, advised him to visit the pawnbrokeries and see if he could not locate his property. He was on the way to Klein's, North Court street, when he met Mr.

Bill both were cut about the aria and wrists. Other than this no damage was done. Each of the prisoners swore that it was the other. who began the use of the anathema, and that they nad to resent It. His honor told Stephens that it he had merely struck Thompson when he insulted him, Instead of "creating a fuss," he perhaps might forgive him, but as the case stood now would have to fine him $2.

Thompson was fined. $7. A very black boy Jas. Mott, said he was not guilty of the charge of stealing a blanket and the saddle of a harness intrusted to him by Mr. J.

W. Shores, to carry to the residence of the latter's father, 414 Dexter avenue. The complainant swore that he gave Mott a set of harness, together with a blanket and whip, early Monday afternoon to take up to the house. His father said the boy did not arrive until ne tusk, and shortly after be left the portion of the harness, and blanket had disappeared. Mott declared he delivered the goods intact.

Recorder Tarver told him, as he fined him a tenner, that it he had stated he had lost It, or that it had been taken from him on the way, or made any other plausible statement, it would not have gone so hard with him. Joseph Loftus, plain every day drunk and an old timer, had a very penitent expression when he was inducted into a prisoner's chair and forced to listen to an officer, who told the court Joseph was very much out of place Monday night as a statue on the steps of a boarding house. When the officer concluded Loftus rubbed his hands, threw a pleading look at the judge, and said: "Plaze sur, yez orter be lavin' me alone fer this wanst. Oi'll go ter Atlanter an' get out, faith thin 01 if yez will only-" will, "I know you won't," interrupted Recorder Tarver. "You've been here before.
