Evangelist ?chlverea was held laat
evenhig at the tent at the head of (iur
fleld avenue. The tiieptinga have been
very successful In thin city, the- tent

have been productive of a grviit U-al of
good and many nouls have been led to

tty have the people manifested such
great Interest and turned out in such
Kreat numbers to hear anybody. Mr.
Bchlverea l a. man of charmlnvr pers.m
allty and has great magnetism. His
work In this city has been Iiuked ftreat.
The services yesterday were of un
usual interest. At 3.3 o'clock the lust
BC'ble reading was held and the subject
was "The Coming Araln of Our messed
Lord." A larse number of people wers
at this meeting.
Two sermons were delivered last
Venlng. one to thj unsaved and one to
those who have decided fur God durinir
his stay In this city. IMr. Schlvena
tm'ld that "the meetings in the tent
Would clcse, but .he hoped th. work

dale. If the work ceases when he leaves
Carbondale.lt was worth not h ins:."

MONEY IS needed.
Bilk Mill Subscribers Have Ni.t Paid Their
Subscriptions.
The trustees of the Kilk mill were
obliged to hold , meeting in which he
financial matters connected wito the
finishing of the building on Helmont
street were discussed. The call for the
last instalment of the subscription
bonds was made several weeks ago.
but as yet all the money has not been
paid in.
Several of the subscribers have been
laite In imylnsr other instalments, and
the time has now come when it must he
sent In. If it Is delayed much longer
work will be hampered. The work is
Jiearly finished nt the new building, and
the trustees have worked Ion ami
faithfully at their duties. The way in
Which they have done their work is one
of hearty conuratulatlon on the part
Of the stockholders.
The bonds which Klotz P.rns. will Is
sue will be turned over M subscriiifvs
as soon as the buildlm Is occupied ,y
them. The mill, however, can not be
transferred until ready for occupancy,
and the settlement of the subscriptions
Is necessary for Its cnmplf'tion.
It should not be necessnry to force
the paymen't of the gunt'ntes. yblch
were made of their own free will. Th-rp
Is a deficiency which mu.t be met at
once, and It should be g!v?n the Im
mediate attention of th? subscribers.

REDEEMED BONDS.
City Treasurer Gromer Buys Several
Securities.
Yesterday several of the bonds Issued
y the city matured, and City Treasurer
Oramer redeemed them. The bonds
Were as follows: One city improve
ment loan. No. 6, amounting to 1800,
one city improvement loan. No. 6,
amounting to $600, two city Improve
ment loans. No. 3, amounting to $1,000
eacb.
This makes the total of $3,200 city Im
provement loan bonds purchased by
the city In one day. Semi-annual In
terest was also paid today on city
bonds as follows: On city Improve
ment loan. No. 5, $60; on city Improve
ment loan. No. 6, Js7.57;and on loan No.
1, $87.50.
These amounts are paid out of the
Inking fund raised for the purpose of
redeeming and paying Interest on the
city bonds. A special tax Is levied for
this purpose, being a 3-mlll levy this
year. This tax Is the subject of a great
deal of misunderstanding on the part
of the tax payers, and causes a great
deal of questioning when the property
owners come to the treasurer's office
to settle their accounts. '

What o Ltttlo Murlatte Acid Will IH if
I'scd Hlghtly-A Rich Man Applied It
Cunningly to Manufacture a Receipt
for a Note bat Was. Discovered. Tried,
Convicted and Sentenced to Serve Sevcu
Yeats' Imprisonment.
The Intercr.c in questionable docu
ments coming Into court in one form
or ancth;?r which hus be-en excited by
the mystery .surrounding the character
of the will of Judge Joseph Holt, of
Washington, In connectiem with the
general suspicion that the Bender of
thJ document has a sinister motive In
concealing Ills identity, hrings to mem
ory a rather remarkable crime which
occurred In Williamsburg county,
South Carolina, In the spring of 187'J.
At the spring term of the court of com
mon pleas for Williamsburg county, J.
H. Livingstone brought suit ago.in.it
XV. XV. Ward, 'the ex-sheriff of th3 coun
ty, for the recovery, of Sr.,U0u. money
loane d on Ward's si-lie J nc te. The
paiticulnrs are related by the Wash
ington Post.
The court was presided over by Judge
T. 3. 'Macltey. Bv consent f parties,
the rase was heard w?!hout a Jury.
Livingstone, the plaintiff, proved the
execution cf the m.te, and closed his
ease. Th defense se-t up the p. Ira that
the note had been paid, and produced
a receipt signed by Livingstone, dated
two years previous to the trial, for the
whole amount of the note, principal
and Interest; und a witness testlded
that he had se-en the payment made In
$1(10 bills, and four S50(i bills to Living
stone himself, on the day named in the
rectlpt.
Admitted Its Genuineness.
The plaln'tlff took the witness stand,
and on examining the receipt, fjiI
mlttcd that It bore his true and genutn?
signature. He solemnly protested,
however, that he had not received one
dollar from Ward, and had nevrr en-te-red
Ward's bouse for any purpose.
He declared that he was ruined, and
that he and his wife would be made
homeless 'by a false recelnt .which he
could not exolain, but which he had
never knowingly signed. On cross-examination,
Livingstone, who was an
old man, admitted that his memory
was very infirm, and that on a previous
occasion he 'had received a payment of
$200 from another debtor, which he af
terward denied rece-lvlng, but which
he recalled to memeirv when shown hi
receipt. The plaintiff and his counsel
at this stage of the proceeding were In
utter despair, for their case was ap
parently lost.
Judge Ma?key, who had made a close
study of criminal history, however, dl
reoitd that 'the receipt be 'handed to
h'm. He t'hen ordered the sheriff to
proceed to the nearest drug-store and
purchase a disehm of muriatic acid and
a small piece of sponge. On the re
turn cf the officer with the articles
named, the Judge Faid to the plaintiff:
"Mr. Llvlingftone, did you ever ad
dress a If Her 'to the de fendant. Ward,
demanding payment of your money?"
"Yes. sir," ansiwered the plaintiff: "I
wrote him many, letters, but never re
ceived any reply from him."
Judge Mackey then said to the coun
sel: "I perceive that on the face of this
receipt there are several peculiar
brown spots, and 'the original surface
or sizing of 'the paper 'has been re
moved, except in that portion of the
paper where the signature was writ
ten. The body of the receipt Is In the
handwriting of ithe defendant. In my
opinion the defendant has taken a let
ter of the plaintiff and removed the
writing wl.t'h muriatic acid, and th'n
written t'he receipt above the signa
ture. I will now apply this ackd to the
wri'tlng on the back ef the complaint
In this case, and It will be seen that
the writing will Instantly disappear,
and the paper will at once exhibit
several- brown spots Identical with
those on this receipt."
The acid was applied to the paper,
and as the writing disappeared, the
brown blots were seen upon Its sur
face, and the crime of the defendant
was clearly revealed.
Ward Is llorror-Strlckcn.
Ward, at this Juncture, looked as horror-stricken
as Lady Macbeth, when,
gazing upon her fair but murderous
hand, she exclaimed, as she vainly
rubbed It. "Out. damned spot!" The
Judge Immediately rendered a decision
In favor of the plaintiff, adding that It
was the duty of the solicitor to have
Ward prosecuted for his audacious
forgery.
Tiie next morning Judge Mackey left
for Georgetown, forty mile-s distant, to
hold court. While there he received a
letter from a friend, -warning him not
to return to Wllllarm'burg. as he had
promised to do In a few days, for the
purpose of hearing an argument In
chambers, as Ward had solemnly sworn
to kill him on sight. In five days, how
ever, he returned to Williamsburg, and
seeing Ward In the street, demanded If
he had threatened to take his life. Ward
answered that he had, but had aban
dond his purpose.
Ward was Indicted at the next term
of court and placed on trial for forgery.
When the verdict of guilty was ren
dered, Ward rose and discharged his
pistol at Livingstone, the prosecuting
witness, and one of the balls passed
through -his coat. He was Instantly
disarmed, and sentenced to a term of
seven years at hard labor in the peni
tentiary, where several years after ho
died. Ward had been a man of wealth
and high standing In the community.

BALDNESS AND BAD BREEDING
A Theorist Says That Men Should I d
cover Their Head Oftoncr.
It Is bad enough to be t'aldlu aded. but
when you are told that baklness is th?
direct result of bad manners, it is worse.
A northern theorist says that young
men are not nearly so particular as
t'hey ought tolbe in taking off their hats
or caps when entering rooms; they
lounge about with ithe-lr beads covered,
and their hair Is consequently deprived
of the nourishment It should derive
from the air. The bad habit ! swi posed
to be first acquired at school; once
formeel. It becomes a sort of second na
ture, and so baldness supervenes before
middle age Is rtacht-J. Nor does w ti ll
again! the the ery that the eth.-r sex,
so rich In cavitary treasure, never un
oeivers even when rntering church.
Ww.an, wlw In her generation und
duly mlndlYi! -of her treses, has n
duce'd her headgear almost to the van-!:-hlr
point, while the material Is so
dllphanuus as t) aeVnlt of the freest
