Grimly they ttood ill a circle about the

they departed for their homes short'y
afterwards.
Preston Porter did not ncciu to l-alizo
the awful punishment he was detained
to undergo. As he had exhibited indif
ference to the enormity of his crime, so
he Deemed to lack all understanding ot
its terrible consequences. For more than
nn hour, while propitiations for his ex
cution were in progress, he stood mute
and sullen among the avengers. When
everything was ready he walked to the
stake with a firm step, pausing as he
reached the circle of broken boards
to ikiieel in prayer. Ho was ut
lowed to tuke his time. lie arose an I
placed his back to the iron sttike and half
a dozen men wound chains about his
body and limbs. Kerosene oil was op

Almost instantly the uegrn'g t rouse:!

The flumes crept slowly upward on his
clothing, and the spuiks tb w 'ip In a

something more to tell you. Please let
me go. Oh, my God, my God."
In terrible screeches these words, tne

negro. A terrible tugging ot the chains,
a succession of awful groans and
screams, the negro's agony was at last
breaking down his sullen composure.
Not an oath escaped him, but he
begged and pleaded to be shot. Suddenly
the rope holding his hands burned
thrtug'ii. Then arms, head and shoulders
slipped through the chains. For nil in
stant the body stood erect, the arms wer
raised in supplication, while luiniiiifc
pieces of clothing dropped from them.
The body then fell away from the fire,
the head lower than the feet, still fas
tened to the rail. This was not expected
and for a few minutes these stolid men
were disconcerted. They feared the ouij
remaining clinin would give way. If this
had occurred the partly burned humau
being would have dashed among them In
his blazing garments. And not many
would have cared to capture him again.
Hut the chain held fast. The body was
then in such a position that only tho legs
were in the fire. The cries of the wretch
were redoubled and he again begged to
be shot. Koine wanted to throw him over
into the fire; others tried to dash oil upon
him. Hoards were carried and " large

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. The report
of Commissioner of Navigation Cham
berluin, made public yesterday, says th-i
pust fiscal year has been tho most pros
perous period known to American ship
ping for some years. Hoturns from th
current liscul year promises an even
more satisfactory record.
For the first time since tho civil war
the documented tonnage of tho United
States exceeds 5,000,000 gross tons. ' i
Juno 30, 1900, American document ton
nage comprised 23,333 vessels; of 5,104.
839 gross tons, an increase of 300,000
tons over the previous fiscal year. Our

American vesrsels are almost t'holl
confined to tho coasting trade, which
employed last year 4,338,145 tons, or

Jealous Woman Was Informer Prank

the Country Hank Directors Have Is
sued False Statements lor Over a
Week, Though Aware of Rhorlaze.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 10. - United
Slates Bank Kxaminer Tucker yesterday
took possession of the (Jeruiun National
bank ut Newport, Ky., and posted n uo-
tice that the bank would remain closed
pending nn examination. Examiner
Tucker also announced uuolllciully thiit
Frank Brown, the individual bookkeeper
ml assistant cashier, was missing, and
thut a partial investigation shovvd that
Brown was short about $201,000.
Brown, It is alleged, was living a fast
life, with wine, womeu and gambling In
Ids repertoire. lib; cateer was not cut
short by any discovery at the bank until
a jealous woman gave him uway. Brown
is a widower with one son. aged 10 years,
who lives with Brown's futhcr, Paris C.
Brown, ex-mayor of Newport, und one
of the leading business nun of Cincin
nati. Last summer Brown visited Yel
lowstone Pnrlt and a certuiii Cincinnati
woman wanted to accompany him, but
this wns denied her. When she ascer
tained some time afterward that anoth' t
woninn was with Brown on his Western
tiip the Cincinnati woman gave the bank
etu.'inls some information that brought
about a crisis.
The olllcers of the German National
bank are wealthy and responsible men
and they will be able to make the losses
good. .Among the directors is Paris C
Brown, who is the father of the missing
bookkeeper, and is well known. The
cushler of this bank is also paying tell :t
end Browu relieved him as paying tel'et
when the cashier went t his dinner. It
is stated that Brown did most of his
work during the lunch of the cashier.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 20.-The experts
who have been working with Beceiver
Tucker on the books of the Gerniun Na'
tlouul bank ut Newport place the short
age of Brown, the missing assistant cash
ier and Individual bookkeeper, nt $01,000.
According to reports from those who
were with Brown when ho left last
Tuesday night ho had less tliun $500 with
him. Brown's salary was only $1,50C
per yenr. Cases are now cited where he
spent more than that amount in one day.
His bond was for 10,000, ond it is good

United States District Attorney Hill
will arrive from Fadueah today, when, it
Is snid, criminal proceedings will bo be
gun. The federal detectives have certain
persons under surveillance nnd there nrc
reports about arrests thnt will follow on
the arrival of District Attorney Hill.
During the run on the German Nutionnl
bank at Newport, Ky., last Saturday
JjiJOO.ilOO was secured m Cincinnati to
bridge over the trouble. This wns re
turned yesterduy, and Beceiver Tuckei
had other moneys nnd papers also trans-
feried to Cincinnati.
Brown's system required a wonderful
memory. .The experts say he carried in
his heod figures that ennbled him to call
oh correctly a lot of false entries in a
wny to throw the clerks who were doing
the cheeking with him off the track. A
depositor would put in $3,100. Brown
would enter the proper amount of the do
posit In one book nnd enter it ns $100 in
another. He would take the difference,
$3,000, himself. Then when it enmo to
checking up he would handle one of the
books. Another clerk would check and
Brown would cnll off. Instead of catl
ing' off $100, which appeared as the
amount of the deposit on the book which
he wns handling, he would call it ns $3,
100, thus making it correspond with the
book in the hands of the other clerk.
lie also, it is alleged, worked in an
other wny. A depositor would draw out
$100. Brown would mnke the propel
entry in one book nnd enter ..'!, 100 In
nnother. When the depositor had his ac
count checked up the figures were taken
from the book in which the correct cut
ry had been made! When the bank oltl
cials looked to see what amount was dflt
the depositor they were given their in
formation from the books which showed
that $3,100 had 1 n withdrawn.
Brown hnd memorized all the individual
accounts and the experts find no private
marks of any kind on the books. Th
cencrul ledger was kept correct nnd bal
uncod with the cash, while the individual
ledger, it is alleged, was fixed to suit
Brown's purposes, the former being the
one that the bank olllcials examined. It
is generally believed that Brown's first
shortage started accidentally with nn
error of $1,000 In the individual ac
counts. HELD FOR DOUBLE MURDER.

BURIED UNDER TONS Of ORE
Dock Caved In at llufTulo, Killing lno
Hoys tind Canning a Loss of
Nearly SI OO.OOO.
BUFFALO, Nov. 1!.-The We.it
Shore ore dock, owned by the New York
Ceiitrul railroad, lying on the southern
bhore of the Buffalo creek, caved in yok
terdny morning, currying with it lOO.lMl
tons of iron ore, under which were buried
Thomas Ford nnd Max Sors, lads agd
15 and 10 years respectively. Both
were killed. Several others were slight
ly injured.
Sors was but partially buried and was
dug out after a little effort, but he was
so terribly mangled that he died a short
while after being taKen to the hospital.
Ford wus buried deep in the avulanche of
ore and his body has not been r -coveted,
though parties dug for it all dny. 11 ia
hat was found, which was presented to
his sister for Identification, at which she
become hysterical and had to be re
moved. She at oue time wus an ininut
of tu insane asylum nnd it is expected
that the shock of her brother's death will
again unsettle her mind.
The loss to the dock and ore will reach
$100,000. This is partially covered by
insurance. It Is said that the dock w3
built on swnnipy marsh, reclaimed by the
dumping of refuse and artificial foundo
lion and the constant weight of thous
ands of tons of ore on the original scil
finally worked as low as the swampy
marnh and then sunk in, causing an av
alanche of ore that totally swamped the
dock and filled with ore that por.ion of
the crecit upon which the dock hnd fared.
This is the second dock en vein to occui
in this city within two months.
