bers , and all other members of the or
ganization nro required to refuse said
parties credit until they settle
up with their creditor or

A Slnrlllnjt Defalcation.
For several diya Uio accounts of the
city clerk have been undorgolnga quiet
investigation , and the startling discov
ery was made that there Is a shortage
of several hundred dollars. The affairs
of the olllco have rested largely with
Deputy Clerk John Burke , and there
seems no room loft for doubt as to his
being a defaulter to an extent nt pros-
cut estimated nt from $100 to $2,000 , ,
but it is impossible as yet to obtain a
correct idea of the amount. The pecu
lations hnvo extended over a period of
two years , nearly the whole time that
the deputy hail been in ollice.
The reason that no discovery has boon
made until the present time is because
the books have never been checked
through , tlio total appearing on the
pages being accepted as correct. The
lirst intimation of anything wrong was
last Monday evening , when young
Burke asked Alderman Kncphor to run
through the amounts with him and see
that tney were nil rignt. The totals
wore correct as usual , and then the al
derman announced his desire of check
ing the items from the other
books. The deputy could not re
fuse , and the work was begun.
In a very short time ajshortago of $ i3or
$30 was discovered , and the alderman
recommended an adjournment until
morning. The deputy wns on hand in
the morning , but loft the city building
shortly after Alderman Knoplicr ap
peared , and has not been seen since.
The investigation was continued the re
mainder of the day and all of yesterday ,
and the amount of the shortage kept in
creasing. At 4 : . " > 0 o'clock the mayor
and council were summoned to a special
session , for the purpose of taking some
action in regard to the matter.
It will require fully a week to com
plete the investigation. The course
pursued by the absconding olllcial was
was to fail to make any entry in the
cash book of some of the police court
lines , . apparently putting the amount in
his own pocket. The police records are
ns yet only partially chocked through ,
but a shortage of nearly $700 has al
ready been discovered. After these
arc finished the'license and several fee
books are still to hear from.
City Clerk F. A. Burke , father of the
missing deputy , says that ho is not
aware of his son's whereabouts , but
says that if there is a shortage ho will
innlco it good at once. At the next
meeting of the council anew deputy
will bo appointed. The city cleric has
occupied his present position for nearly
twenty years , and bears a most enviable
reputation. Ho has the sympathy of
3vcry citizen in his trouble. lie has
been confined to his homo much of the
Lime the past few weeks by illness , and
his son had full charge of the oflico.
Young Burke is : i married man and
lias one child. His father's reputation
ana Ins family connections nro such as
to cause the greatest surprise at his
action. There has been nothing in his
conduct to arouse any suspicion that
anything was wrong with his accounts.
[ Io has boon allowed only $50 a month
salary , and it is probable that ho found
this too little to meet his expenses. It is
jarely possible that ho may bo able to
rive some satisfactory explanation of
, ho apparent crookedness , but it docs
lot now scorn probable.
It is a sad comment on the manner in
which city business is transacted to
illow the books to go two years without
checking even. It scorns that the city
B pmployinir sulllcient number of of-
Icials to at least have the books and ac
counts kept properly and chocked care
fully.

Ira McCollom , the man who was al-
oivod to walk out of the city jail Tues
day morning , on account of the jailor
nistaklng him for a lodger , was rear-
Bested about 2 o'clock yesterday morn-
ng by Olllcor Mullen , who did not
ccognizo him as an escaped prisoner ,
> ut took him as a vagrant. The mls-
ako was not discovered until long after
10 was locked up. The name was scon
MI the register , and a hurried in vostiga-
ion of ' 'the man in the holo" followed.
Io proved to bo the very man wanted ,
and the entry was then scratched from
ho rogistr so that the public might not
'catch on" to the fact that an escaped
M'isonor could roam the streets until
un in ns a vagrant. McCollom is
ihargcd with forging the name ol Wll-
iam Lewis to an order , but the ovi-
lonco against him seems to bo rather
ight , aa the order wns not secured.
One amusing incident in connection
vith this case is the commendable- -
crpriso of a certain reporter , who pub-
ished an alleged interview with the
n-isonor in the streets of Omaha , after
, ho hitter's release from the city jail.
Fho manner of his escape was vividly
lescrlbcd by the prisoner , and the in-
orcstlng article closed with the escaped
nan several miles from Council BlufTH.
As a matter of fact the prisoner wns not
outside the city.

llrtandtho carriage wns overturned.
Io foil under it nnd was dragged sev
eral foot before the team stopped. An
other hnckman , also driving ono of
Martin's teams , was just behind him ,
and jumping from his box
, came to his n
relief. Ills team thus left alone , started
nto a run and were allowed to keep on
heir own course up Broadway , while
ho drivers with others , rescued Lee
rom Ins close quarters by raising up
ho hack. Lee was suffering greatly.
On bc.ing taken to his homo 'Dr. Bel

ribs were broken him i' ' o collar bone
crushed. The extent of the Intoriifi !
injuries could not bo fully ( Jeterinlncd ,

Excavation had apparently been made
for some water pipe , nnd the work left
unfinished. The men declare there was
no danger light hung out , as is required

fact , the absence of the rod light will
probably load to expensive litigation.

A RATTLESNAKE INDUSTRY.
Some Account ol' n Queer Business
nnd llo\v a Man Ijlvcs l > y It.
Isaac Davis , oj North Bolton , the rat
tlesnake hunter , says the Albany Jour
nal , has added upward of ! ! 00 snakes
to his score , making more than 1,700
rattlesnakes he has killed since lie com
menced snake-killing for the bounty of
"o cents a snake and two months1 wages
at $50 , a month four years ago/ Ono
hundred and fifty of the Fall's catch
were killed in three days on a new den
which ho discovered on the mountain
west of Sabbath Day Point. These lie
killed as they wore gathering in the
den in October for their winter's hibernation
nationthe lirst day , 45 the second
and SO on the third. Davis says ho lost
considerable money the lirst year of His
snake-hunting by not kno'wing that
there was market for the skins and rnl-
tlos , as well as for the oil. The skins
ho sells nt from 2-5 cents toU each , to be
dressed Into leather for ladies'bolts ,
slippers. &c , , and the rattles are
mounted as jowolr.y for pins , earrings
and the like , and bring from 25 cents to
$1 a string. The oil brings 25 cents
per ounce , and a oig , fat
snaUo will sometimes yield
an ounce. The hunting season is in
the spring ns they are leaving the don ,
and in the autumn as they gather for
the winter. When they come out they
assemble in intertwined groups of from
three or four to fifteen , lying in the
sun until they collect energy enough
for their summer's jaunt in pairs to
breed. In the fall they como back , ho
says , apparently in families , the old
ono with from ton to fifteen or twenty
young ones , a foot or more in length. [
Oavis is the only professional rattle
snake hunter in the world. lie has
been engaged by owners of summer cot
tages near Hague to hunt for n month
spring and fall next year , ns he has for
the past four years , at 8oO a month , and \
this pay , with the bounty and proceeds
of the oil , skins and rattles , occasional
llvo snakes sold , and income earned by
showing and handling the reptiles at
county fairs in August and September
makes him a respectable income. Ho
devotes his winters to reading , and now ,
nnd tnen a day's work as a chopper. Ho , '
says the snakes on his side of the lake
are growing visibly scarcer , and thinks ' .
that they can bo ultimately extermin
ated. Davis very quietly admits the
hazard of his occupation and coolly says
ho "presumes likely ho will got bitten'
sometime and like enough die from the
effects if a blood vessel happens to be
hit. " ,

Rebuilding I lie Nobrnfllcn.
The propeller Nebraska is receiving
an oxtansivo rebuild at the Union Dry
Dock , saye the Buffalo Commercial.
When opened up it was found that ' .
there was not a rotten piece of wood in
her , pot oven s > o much as a dry rot ,
though the vofisel is now over twenty-
two years old.This is a circumstance '
never before heard 01 , and nearly every
marine man in town has boon to the
yard to cxnmino the curiosity. It must
bo remembered that vessels are built i
green timber fresh from the wood
after being put into a vessel the wood is
subject to the action of wind and wave ,
the least crack being sufficient to admit >
enough water to cause decay In the
timbers. But the oak in the propeller
Nebraska is blue in color nnd harder
to-day than when It was placed in the
boat nearly a quarter of a century ago. ,
A piece of Iho timber is to bo analyzed
to llnd out , if possible , what has pro-
Korvod it 0 long In such perfect condi
tion.

HOW THEY VOTE IN CANADA.
Ojifrntlons of the AiisJr.ttlim System
The cxpcr'cilet ' ? of the Dominion of
Canada with flip Australian syst"nj
should bo of special interest to us , says
the Hartford nojrlslcr , for while the
law Itself prescn'ts ' few novel features
j I the similarity of , social and political
j conditions between ourselves nnd our
nearest neighbor * gives it a claim upon
our attention Inching in the case of the
I more distant communities of the old
world and the Mew world of the anti
podes.
The Dominion act has boon in suc
cessful operation since 1874 } the pro
vincial laws wore assimilated to it a
little Inter.
In order to avoid useless ropetion it
may be stated that the procedure follows
pretty Closely the British model , and ne
regards details left unnoticed may bo
undevstood us being substantially the
same as that already described.
Any twonty-llvo electors may nomin
ate a candidate for the Dominion par
liament , or so ninny candidates as nro
to bo elected in the district. The nom
ination paper must contain the name ,
residence and description of each can
didate so as sulllciently .o identify him.
In addition the paper must contain the
written consent of the candidate to the
nomination , unless ho is out of the pro
vince , in which case the fact must bo
stated. The nominating paper must bo
filed with the returning olllcor at or
before the time sot for making nomina
tions , and Iho person liling the paper
must inako oath that ho knows the
signers to bo qualified olcetors , that
they signed the paper's in his pre
sence , and that the candidate's consent
was signed in his presence , unless in
case of the candidate's absence from
the province.
At the same time that the nomination
is filed a sum of $200 must bo deposited
with Iho returning officer by the candi
date or in his behalf. The sum is sub
sequently returned to him if ho is
elected , or if ho polls a number of votes
equal to at least half the number re
ceived by the successful candidate. If
ho fail to poll &o many votes tlio money
is forfeited to the public treasury.
The ballots are printed with the
names of the candidates in alphabetical
order , and the description attached to
each. A margin is left at the right-
hand side. A blank counterfoil is at
tached to the bottom of the ballot. Fol
lowing is tlio model annexed to the
statute :

[ The dotted lino" represents jicrfora-
tions for convenience of detaching the
counterfoil. In the example the voter
is supposed to hnvo marked his paper in
favor of Kielmrtl 'Hoc. ]
The deputy returning oilicor presid
ing at the polling place puts his initials
on'tho back of each ballot before hand
ing it to tlio voter. In addition the
clerk puts a number opposite tlio voter's
name in the poll-book , and the pre
siding olllcor puts the sntno number on
the face of the counterfoil.
The voter marksand folds his ballot in
secret as in the case already described ,
and , returning , hands the ballot to the
deputy returning ollicerwhoaftor satis
fying himself of its identity by examina
tion of his initials nnd the number on
Lho counterfoil , detaches and destroys
the counterfoil and puts the ballot in
the box. It will be observed that the
purpose of the counterfoil is not , ns in
England , to make it subsequently possi
ble to trace the ballot to the voter , but
simply to all'ord n security additional to
that given by the initials on the back
that the ballot cast is the ono given
to the voter.
At the close of the poll the ballots nro
counted at each polling place by tv dep
uty returning olllcor in charge in the
jrcsonco of the candidates or their rep
resentatives. Should any ballot other
than those officially supplied be found
in the box it is rejected , as nro also all
Dii which votes have been given for too
many candidates or on which is found
\ny mark or writing by which the voter
jould bo identified. The ballots given
in favor of each candidate , and also all
lofoctivo , spoiled or unused ballots are
scaled up in separate packets , and put
into t4io ballot box , which , scaled and
ockcd is sent to the returning olllcor of
ho district with a list of the votes as
'ountod and-of rejected ballots.
At the final summing up by the re-
.urning olllcor , should the vote bo
'ound to have resulted in a tic , ho has
iiimself the casting vote.
Dentil of Ilaeliol'B Youngest Son.
Says a Parts letter to the Philadel
phia Telegraph : The youngest son of
ho great actress Rachel , M. Gabriel
l-'olix , has just died nt Congo in his :
'orty-second year. Ho took up his rcsi-
lonco.in that distant and insalubrious
ogion some years ago , being a liouton-
int in the navy , and having been stn-
.ioncd at Congo by his own request. Ho
'ought with great bravery in the
Franco-Prussian war , and was terribly
lisllgurcd by a wound which put for
iomo time his life in danger , part of his
'aco having bcoil , "carried away by the
jxploslon of a slipll. Ho lay at death's
leer for a long , time , and when ho
inully recovered ho hastened to hide
jis marred visage .at a distance from nil
vlio had over known him. Ho was on-
juged to bo married when the war broke
ut , but the family of his betrothed ,
md the young laM herself ns well , in-
listed upon cancelling the engagement
tfter he got well of his wound. Apart
rom his gallant bearing in time of nc-
ion , Linntonnnt Felix was not iv very
i&tiinablo young man , being dissipated
md oxtravagnnt , so it is probable that [
its pcrtoiiul habits had a great deal to
Io with the failure of his matrimonial
irojcctp. Like his older brother , the
ion of the Count do Walowski , ho ttl-
vays cherished fondly the memory of
ils gifted mother , who was ns tender a n
larotit as she was great as an actress.
