Dave Lane"The Mail Robber.
For six montns or more a systema-
tic robbery of the mails sent to and
from BlackwellTs Durham ~Tobacco Co.
has been going on. The matter was
reported to the Postoffice department
and detectives have been on the alert.
Thorough investigation will always
trace these thefts to the Durham post-
office, and on this account suspicion
rested upon the force in that office.
Finally, Gregory and Dexter, two
detectives, who had the matter in
the rascal. A ce lored man named
Dave Lane was employed at the facto-
ry and it was his duty to deliver mail
at the office and receive mail and take
it to the factory. He did not handle
all the mail, but only that sent to and
from the coupon department. And
the robberies were confined to the mails
from this department. Some days ago
one of the detectives went to Greens
boro and mailed tv:o or three packages
to the coupon department with money
enclosed. They were bills and marked.
He saw the packages put in the pouch
at Greensboro, followed the pouch and
saw it safely delivered to the mail
agent, went in the mail car and saw the
package unmolested putin the pouch
for delivery to the Darham _ office.
The man who carries the mail from
the railroad statlon to the postoflice
was closely shadowed. When the
mail was taken to the office one of the
detectives kept watch at the front door,
the other at the rear. Dave Lane
went in and got the mail, there being
no one. in the office at the time but
Mr. Jenkius, the delivery clerk. When
Lane left the office for the factory he
-| was closely shadowed and it was ob-
served that he could not have tampered
with the packages on the way. When
the mail was handed! inat | the faetory
office the letters had been broken and
the money gone. Lang, was arrested
and the money found in his pockets,

A Beecher on Trial for Forgery.
One son of Henry Ward Beecher is
on triat for forgery and his brother is
council for him. They do not look in
the leust alike, nor does either resemble
the distinguished father.
The procerdings are before Justice
Fursman, in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court, and they are like a
| prosy civel trial in which there is a tan-
gle of wall street affairs.
Henry B. Beecher was the senior
partner of Beeeher, Schenck & Co.
It was brought out that Beecher,
Schenck & Co. were the agents for the
American Security and Casualty C om-
pany, of Baltimore, of which W. E.
Midgeley, ene of the partners of
Beecher, Schenck & Co., was president.
Beecher, Schenck & Co. were the gen-
eral agents of the company and were to
receive 35 per cent. of the premium.
The specific act for which H. B-
Beecher was indicted was forging the
corporate name of F. B. Bond, vice-
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee,
and St. Paul railway. By means of
clerks, bood-keepers and heads of de-
partments it was shown that Mr Beech-
erin 1893, had handed Manager
Burke, of the railroal department two
applications for policies purporting to
be signed by Bond. One policy was
for $500,000; the other for $250,000.and
the amount of commission due Beecher,
Schenck & Co. on them would have
been $222,000.
This amount was carried through on
the books and brought into the annual
report. Mr. Weeks said that the Cas-
ualty Company declared a5 per cent
~dividend on the basis business, although
the polices had never been made out.
Vice-president Bond was placed upon
the witness-stand yesterday. He said
he had never signed the applications for
the policies. The signatures are oF.
S. Bond, per A. S. B.� Mr. tsond said
he knew-no onefwhose initials were oA.
S. B.� and that he had never authoriz-
ed the signing of the applications. In
fact, he had never heard of tnem until
recently.
It was Mr. Wellman who brought
out that Mr. Beecher knew how Mr
Bond signed his name and that the sig-
nature showed no suggestion of an at-
tempt to imitate that of Mr. Bond."

Miss -naneidutians who resides
at Plainfield, N: J., has been selected as
a leading soloist tor Geo. VanderbiltTs
memorial " church, Asbeville,
While at Asheville last winter with her
sister, Jeannette, Miss . Matt'son met
the Vanderbilts. Her voic2, a rich con-
tralto of wide range and much sweetness,
created a marked impression at Ashe"
ville, and during the holidays, Senor
Caryl Florio, who for years was at -the
hear
head of the choir in old Trinity Church, |
New York, heard Miss Mattison s~tig at
a local ~entertainment given the evening
after Christmas. As he had been
placed in charge of the Memotal church

soloists. Miss Mattison ~was aimvited
to the Vanderbilt mansion, agd it is
said, created such an impression upon
the, select. assemblage .that. she was}.
given charge of the musical department
of the private school at Biltmore. This
led to a better acquuintaneé* oand she
has just aceepted a new contract to sing
in the church ata salary of $250 per
month. The church will be dedicated
about July 10th, when Mr. VanderbiltTs
private car will bring a party of his

The Most Expensive of Governments.
Congressman Joe Wheeler, of Ala-
bama, recently called attention to the
fact that we spend farsmore ~no hey tor
government than any other nation.
The appropriations made by Con
{gress at its session jist closed amount
to $515,084,820. The last Federal
census shows that in 1890 our State,
county and municipal expenditares ag-
gregated $569,252,634. These latter
expenditures are undoubtedly much
greater now than they were in .he cen-
sus year and it is safe to say that our
total expenditures for gov ernmental
purposes durin the' present fiscal T year
will far exdeed $1,000,000;000, No
ofher government spends anything like
so great a sum.
Russia, which has a population cf
over 100,000,000, spent last ydar but
$885,005,996 ; France ia 1893. spent
'$690,184,119; the United Kingdom ,
$469,592, 105, Pérhaps all ~oval. ex-
enditures are not included in phese fig,

Emmpite may withdut doubt, be fairly

government. The German Empire

One of the queerest freaks of li ght-
ning yet recorded is the prank it played
at Mr. Alex, DunnTs.at Neuse. In Mr.
DunnTs barn lot are a row of cow sta-
bles, four in all. All were occupied
when lightning struck the building
last Saturday. Ihe cow in stall num
cow in stall number three was killed,
and the cow in stall number four was
unhurt. The only explanation of this
strange incideat is that the stalls are
built at the fuot ofa targe tree. In
the stables where the cows were killed
the roots of the tree protrude, while in
the other two stalls the roots are be-
neath the surface. The bolt of light-
