Uounty Treasurer Einanunl fist has glvon
to the pubtto tils statement of the county
treasury tnudillo , nnd to nay that It Is sensa
tional Is to put It In mild language. If ho
can provo ono-half of what bo alleges as true ,
the AUnms county treasurer's ofllco was the
Bcono of corrunllon almost boyonil desovlp-
tlon.
tlon.Tho morning session was partly pant In
nn eiTort lo secure a Jury und after ninety-
nine men had boon oxamlnoo as to their fit
ness to sit as Jurors , twelve were tol03tod to
Iry Fist for tbo crlmo of being an accessory
to the embezzlement of county funds.
County Attorney Hooppnor made tUo state
ment of tUo case to the Jury ou tbo part of
the prosecution. Ho exooolod to provo Ibat
n shorlagu In tbo treasury during the admin
istration of Charles H. Paul had been con
nived at by fist acllng as his deputy.
Attorney M. A. Hartigan for the defense
followed. Tbo defense expected to provo
that Mr. Fist was not Paul's deputy during
the last term , but lhat Paul handled the
moaoy himself , Fist acting merely as bis
orvunt. The whole scaudal began while the
now court house was being built. Paul was
Interested In a brick yard and Mr. Hartigan
said that before the bond * votoa by the su
pervisors had been negotiated P.uil had
drawn out f-JS.OOO for use In the yard , nnd
this turn had never boon entered on tbo
books or returned tnlo Iho ireasury. When
ho look the oQlco Uo had but little property.
\Vliurn llio Money \Vi-nt.
To show where the money went ho snld It
would bo proven that $ WOJU was sunk in
Iho brick yard , $11,000 had gene to H. Bost-
wick , president of tbo defunct City Na
tional bank. $15,000 had been lost in real es
tate1 .peculation during the boom , 1,000 had
been lost in Paul's Mexican mlno which had
been loft htm liv cx-Congrosamati Laird and
that from W.OOO to fs.OOO bad teen loaned lo
political friends.
In order lo cover up his iracks Paul , bo al
leged , burned In Iho furnuco all llio checits
for u considerable period representing all the
nbovo sums. Fist wjb all tbo time kept In
tbo dark HS to Ibese Iransacllons , but twice
lie protected tlio county by telling Paul
fr.muly that unless certain mailers were
mndo fight bo would dlvulgo Uiu discrep
ancies to the proper authorities once at the
failure of Iho City Ntllonal bank and the
other lime ut Ibo'llual settlement with the
supervisors.
In the uflernoon U wns agreed by stipula
tion that Pjml was treasurer fiom 1SS8 to

to 1MU , tlio state claiming that ho continued
BO duiluir the tv\o other joars. Mr. Paul

BtHlo. Ho simplv deposed lo inn fact that
he bud known Mr.-Fist for ton years , and
that during the vcan from ' 1888 to 1893 ho
had served him as uoputy. The defense

On redirect examination thu ssml-annual
Btalon.ents incite lo Ihu Board of Supcrvis
ors were nbown to bo In Mr. Fist's hand-
u riling. Air. Fist had nusoluto oonlrol of
the books , as Paul was physically unable lode
do any nf iho clerical work. On redirect
cross-examination the dnfcnso endeavored
to show that Fist was but a hlicd dent and
did not have any authority to act as deputy.
The checks ho issued , and which were re
turned by the banks on which they wsro
Issued , were destroyed , ns they were very
voluminous , nnd Incumbcrcd Iho office. Mr.
i'lst know lhat Iho checks were to bo do-
Mroyod and interposed no objection. Mr.
Paul said that at iho tune the chocks were
issued ho bellevod that ho had the stubs , but
afterward ho could not find them.

in Ibb'J and Indcntlllcd the chocks and re
ceipts in what are known as the "Cherry
Items , " the receipts being in Mr. Fist's
handwriting. The chucks were produced

Mr. Paul. The Litllo Blue township Items
were then explained to ihu Jury. Expert J.
It. Kntclifto , who made Iho examination of
the books , was called on behalf of the state.
A discussion arose over an objection made to

GuTHitiF. Okl. , Sept. 9. The southbound
passenger train on the Santa Fo was late In
arriving owing to Iho fact lhat it was hold
up by train robban at Wharton , in the
Cherokee strip , a station twenty miles north
of this city. Tno robberi bad their hor.-ios
hitched near tbo depot , and after atloiuptmg
to rob the train remained there for some
time. WharloiLU n little unprotected sta
tion In the Cherokee strip , where a tyle-
graph operator was killed two yours ago.
This is the third lime trains huvo been held
up thoro.
When the Irain arrived at this citv nine
bullet holes were counted on the west side of
tno express car. The conductor , Ed ICiteh-
Ing , stales that when bis train stopped to
take water ho walked down the track and
was met by his engineer aud llreraan with
tnreo other men. Revolvers were leveled at
him and Iho robbers wont on until they
reached Iho oxprois car , when they de
manded admittance. Thev were refused by
Messenger ( Jeorgo Wagner. The robbers
then opened fire nnd a fusilado of shots were
tired. Wagner uud his assistant mood their
ground.
The engineer gives this account of the
hold-up : The train arrived at Wharton on
timo. Three masked men mounted the en
gine and ordered Fireman Uossand Engineer
Shocnaughcr to stop down. Then they com
pelled Koss to accompany luom to the ex
press Ooor and lold him lo batter It down.
vVhon the first blow was struck on the door
the express messenger lirod through it. The
fireman stepped back , but the men with
cocked Winchesters again commanded him
to continue work.
"For God's sake , boys , don't shoot ; they
are making mo do U , " yelled the fireman to
the messenger , and again the blows fell on
the door.

lind booty there , the robbers paid ihnir
rospocls lo the larger safe , but found it im
possible to open it. Not being prepared to
force it , they backed out and left , tailing
wllh Ihem two baskets of grapes as trophies
of the mid. no effort was made 10 rob the
pagsongors. Ono of the robuar.s was sta
tioned at the roar ot Iho car and uhot when

LONDONSopt. . 9. Ofllcial reports show
that the cholera has been absolutely stumped
out of the United Kingdom. The local
government boatd , the authorities at the
chief ports and the greatest populous cen
ters concur in tbo statement that no cases of
real cholera , but only a few choleraic cases ,
huvo occurred. Experts say that though the
disease was Drought to Knglund at a dozen
different ports It has been limited to persons
arriving from Infected places.
The medical press assumes a triumphant
tone at the success of tbo sauitnry arrange
ments. The Lancet admits , howsver , that
the defensive mcdsuros are in two respects
defective. The system of keeping people
arriving from Infected places under in
spection for only a few days does not sulll-
clcutly provide for immigration , aliens not
knowing where they would lay their
heads next. The fact that Hamburg ships
replenished their water from Iho cholera
polluted Elba was ever lookod. Still the re-
null proves what the Lancet says , that the
EnglUh system of Inspoclion is In support of
the ordinary quarantine regulations. It is
not certainly infnlliule. Ulbcase may tiller
thiough the mihos of sanitary administra
tion , but given general cleanliness nnd at
tention to sanitation , no quarantine is neces
sary to repel an Itiioadof cholera.
The louo of tno Lnneet accurately repre
sents the feoltng of the country. The local
government board keeps vigilant. It has
sent to the provinces a staff of traveling inspectors
specters to arrange every where for the treat
ment of patients. In the event of death oc
curring cremation is oIlMally approved as
the souiulo.il. mothoa for iho disposal of iho
bodies.

Inoculation ngulnst cholera Is being prac
ticed nt tue hospitals upon voluntary patients.
It is reported to bo effective , Involving only
slight fovorlsh symptoms. After unuor-
t'olng the protective process for a few days
perfect immunity fiotn iho dlsunso is al-
laincd.
Mr. John O. Now , Amsrlcaa consul general
here , told the reporter of Iho Associated
Press that there wa.s no icason to suppose
that the steamship com pan lea wore trying to
evade the regulations l&ic down In the presi
dent's circular. Ho hiul consular reports of
each vessel sailing and lie found tho" cessa
tion ol steerage traflic general. Where In
stances occurred llko the Marathon ,
the steamer dispatched by the Cunard
company to carry immigrants , ho was
duly apprised and warned the agents
of the companies to take tbo necessary precautions -
cautions against , infected passengers or ling-
gaco. Ho knew of no instance since tbo
circular camu Into operation whcro a ship
carried both saloon passenger und emigrants.
Tlio saloon passengers now embarked sailed
with Ibo assurance lhat the vessels did not
carry emigrant * . Uoferrlng to the question
discussed in London.daily , that. If the as Mir- , .
nnce Is bioien nnd the cabin passonccrs arc

have they n claim for damages against tbo
steamer companies , Mr. Now said l.c was
decidedly of the opinion lhat they could so
claim.

Tlio convention of the trades congress In

the body has ever held. There are in ul-

little attention , and many of IIK proceedings
vcrgo on the farcical. A noted delegate ,
William Abraham , a working collier nnd
copper smeller of Cwmavon. Wales , who
rnpfoaents Hhondda in the House
of Commons , volunteered to relieve
tlio dullness of the debate nt one
of the sessions by singing a song. The
offer was grasped at by the wearied dole-
gales , and amid loud acclaims Mr. Aorabam ,
who is a Welsh "bard" und is commonly
known In his coaslituenoy by hH bardio
name , "Mabon , " rendered with good effect
in the WeUn tongue "Tho Men o1 Harloh. "
This Innovation In the proceedings was a
great success , iho members of thu congress
enthusiastically applauding the voculistic

demanding an encore. Tbo political Influ

Tbo Limited Building bank Invcsior.s are

swept away or are Imperiled by thu failure of
the concern to which they Ifava entrusted
their iconoy. The loisos which led to the

no suspicion of malversation attaches to

QIUHVXTINI : , Sept. 10. At I o'clock this
morning lr , Jenkins had boon sleeping forever
over nn hour nnd a half whou tbo telegraph
operator called htm to deliver a message
from the long uwaitod Scandla , whlou was
expected in momentarily. Uoportcts hud
been standing around waiting for him , hopIng -
Ing against hope to got news of the safe
arrival of the Scandln , whtcji had
left iho plague stricken port of Ham
burg on August -2" , loaded with 1,080
souls. She had the enormous number of 931
steerage , twonty-soven cabin and seventy-
seven members ot her cr'w. Before she bud
been many days out the cholera had uroicon
out , and before she arrived the pest was
fairly raging on board of her , thirty-nine
cases occurring in half a week. Of these
thirty-two succumbed before before she ar
rived nt the lower quarantine anchorage.
Consigned til tlio Deep.
One by one , by couples and by throes the
bodies of the unfortunate victims were
dropped overboard.
Dr. Byron boarded all tbo vessels at mid
night. He found all well on board the Nor
mannla , the Hugla , Moravia and Wyoming ,
but when ho leached the Scandi.i bo found
this terrible tnlo of disaster and trouble.
Thirty-two deaths had taken place , of
which twonty-nino were in the steerage ,
two in the crew and ono in Uio
cabin. There were still seven virulent cases
on board and tbeso Dr. Byron removed to
Swinburn Island. The Scandln Is Iho first
vessel to arrive thoroughly infected wllh
cholera. The Moravia , Hugia and Nor
mannla had brought it in tboir tiocrageft ,
nnd in the case of tan. latter it bad worked
among the crow.
The Senndla has it from her bow to her
tor n , from her main deck to her kelson.
Cabin passengers , crew nnd emigrants nil
have it In their midst , and she will prcoably
bo iho hardest cholera importer to light of
the lot.
As though the Scandia was not enough for
ODO night , another horror was added to tlio
situation. Yesterday thu Wyoming was
Iho only ono on Iho suspect list.
Now , at 2 in the morning , she can bo
classed as a cholera ship. Mrs. Person , the
mother of Iho iwo liltln children , Ellas and
Adelaide , who died yesterday of a suspicious
disease , has herself succumbed to the dread
disease. She with throe moro were removed
from the Wyoming during the late forenoon
yesterday. They were placed In the hospital
nnd Mrs. Person died during the night.
Thn removal of the seven cases to Swin
burn island was successfully accomplished
at 2:15 a.m.
