Hotel at Alva.
ESCAPE WAS MIRACULOUS

fore Fuse Reached It.
PORCH HURLED IN AIR
One Man Arrested Suspeqted
of the Crime,
Alva, O. T., Dec, 26. A desperate at
tempt was made here last night to blow
up the Farmers hotel.
The thimble of a wagon wheel was fill
ed with giant powder and placed under
the corner of the building.
Before the burning fuse reached the
powder the thimble burned over and roll
ed a little to one side.
The result of this fortunate occurrance
was that only the porch of the hotel was
blown to smithereens.
It is alleged that some of the boards
were hurled ISO feet skyward leaving no
doubt that had it not been for the acci
dental overturning of the loaded thimble
the entire building would have been
wr&cfc.
A great deal of the glass of the hotel
was shattered.
It is said that some of the boards blown
up came down, the force was so great
that the nails penetrated the roof and
held as fast as if they had been driven
by a hammer.
A young working man named Elliott
was arrested this morning for the offense.
The evidence against him at this hour Is
not definite enough to consider him the
culprit beyond a reasonable doubt
After the wreck occurred, and during
the excitement, Elliott went Into the
house and secured lodgings. The motive
for the crime Is not known.
Owing to Christmas there were only
light guests in the hotel.
Considerable excitement prevails over
the occurance. Hints are thrown out
that the affair will have a sensational
outcome.

nelius Alvord, Jr., defaulting cashier of
the First National bank of this city, is
set for tomJw in the Ui.itd States
district court The amount of his defal
cation was $090,000.
One of the interesting features of the
trial, and which in all pr bahillty will
be brought out by the I'nited States dis
trict attorney, is the amount of resti
tution of the funds made up to this time.
The officers of the First National bank
have been reticent on this point ever
since Alvord's arrival. The sale of his
effects In his home In Mount Vernon
realized very little. Where fh bank

it is said, in the turning over of Mrs.

Samplin, who has been employed in the
postoffice for some years, was married
less than a month ago. He is twenty
five years old and lives at No. 29 East
One Hundred and Eleventh street
For some time there have been com
plaints; money was missing from regis
tered letters and packages. Postoffice
Inspectors Jacobs and James long inves
tigated these complaints. Their suspi
cions finally pointed to Samplin, but they
could not get any evidence against him
because the clerk knew them by sight
Chief Inspector Kins scat to Boston
for'Inspector Towlson, who arrived here
yesterday morning, and was put to work
as an extra clerk.
Samplin was entirely unsuspicious.
"Where shall I put my coat?" Towlson
innocently asked him.
"Throw it any old place, Samplin an
swered indifferently.
The Inspector went to work next to
the man he was watching. He hadn't
been there long before, ho deckles, he
saw Samplin open a registered letter and
take from it 53.05 in coin.
Towlson called Inspectors Jacobs and
James, and Samplin was arrested. The
Inspectors say he broke down and con
fessed that he had been stealing money
from letters for two years, and that his
peculations would amount to several
thousand dollars.
A sharp knife was found on him. He
was arraigned before Commissioner
Shields, -who held him la $2,C0.
RIOT AT CEMENTV1LLE
Sancy Xesrocs Start in to Intimidate
White People,
Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 25. A special to
the News from JefforsonviUe. Ind-, says
a race war is on at Cementville. a small
statio non the Panhandle road five miles
north of this city, and serios trouble is
expected at any minute. ihe negroes
are all armed, and the "!7ni axe keep
ing within doors to avoid Sem.
The outbreak began yestrday after
noon, when Lee Banger and Joe Red
mond, both segroes, both very drunk,
started in to intimidate whites. "When
their insults were resented olber negroes
jumped in with the liquorwirazed men
and a fight started in Sam Kendall's sa
loon. Nearly twenty shots were fired, but
no one was hurt. An appeal by tele
phone wae made to Sheriff Rave for help,
and he drove out to Cementville in a
fouggv and to some extent pacified the
negroes while he was present
After his departure another outbreak
took place and message after message
come to the local police to send men to
the town. Sheriff Rave wa sagaln asked
to go to the scene, but declined to do so
last night. Kendall, In addition to his
saloon, conducted a dry goods store,
which was being attended by his wife
and into this The negroes flocked after
the. firing at the saloon.
Mrs. Kendall was badly frightened, and
her hsband ran into the place and be
gan shooting into the mob. Banger was
shot, but how badly is not known as he
was carrie daway and secretedl by his
companions. Kendall's lite was threat
ened, and about midnight he managed to
escape from his store and came direct
to this city, awakening Prosecutor Mont
gomery and begging him to issue war
rants and have deputy sheriffs sworn in
to serve them.
It wa salmost daylight when the town
became quiet, the negroes har!ng every
thing their own way. So far today no
outbreak has taken place, because the
whites are intimidated to such an extent
that they are using every possible pre
caution to prevent a collision with the
blacks.
It is 'believed the slightest break will
j bring abo''t a bloody riot. There is no
J direct telephone connection with the
pkice, but a private line, owned by the
! railroad, is being used to keep the o -I
cers posted. If trouble begins this will
be cut out by the rioters.

Tsew York, Dec. 25. There is trouble

Rhea f"r tax Aomg millionaires as the
result of exposure. An astounding dis
crepaney has bfen shown between the
assessment of $11,000,000 now placed on
the estate of Cornelius Vandrrhi't and
the paltry $400,000 on which the tax de
partment was content to levy during Mr.
Vanderbil' lifetime.
Fully realizing that it is his duty to
radically revise his assessment esti
mates and at least get a l'ttle nearer to
th" actual flsrures than he did in the
Y.T.derMl: instance, Mr. Feitner openly

FRESH MARINE DISASTERS
German Ship Carl In n Water liOjrced
Condition.
Port Townsend, Wash., Dec. 25 Each
tug boat arriving from Cape Flattery
brings fresh news of marine disasters
along the coast, and when full returns
are in the damage by the recent succes
sion of gales will be the largest in the
history of shipping along the Pacific
coast. The German ship Carl, wheat
laden from Tacoma for Europe, was tow
ed to Port Angeles this morning by the
tug Boyden in a water-logged condition.
After passing out of the Straits of Fuca
the Carl encountered a gale which con
tinued for several days and was so
rouehly handled by the elements that
stanchions of the bulwarks were pulled
out and as the great waves swept her
decks the water poured in so rapidly
that, the pumps could not keep her clear.
The cargo of wheat became saturated,
and so rapidly did she settle down that
it became necessary to Jettison a portion
of her cargo. She will be taken to the
Esquimault, B. C, dry docks.

of roasting a 300-pound bamn of beef
from one of the queen's prime steers.

beef before a huge fire, consuming haf
a ton of coal, fifty bundles of fire wood
and a huge billets of dried wood. The
baron of beef was taken to 0horn to
be placed on the queen's ideboa-d. with
the royal monogram and a Christmas
motto artistically executed upon It m
shredded horseraddlsh.
The queen touches the monster .toint
before Christmas day luncheon with, a
knife, and then it is cut up by the ch'ef
butler, and all the household from the
royal guests down to the scullions, have
luncheon of it.
