Owing to the house drainage and other
matters, the amount of paving ha* not

latter work <tone, though he Is also fa
vorable to paving Indian street. It Is hard
ly possible, however, to undertake both
Jobs this year
“It Is time that Indian street should be
paved/ 4, said Alderman Dixon yesterday.
“Th© matter has h#-n held in abeyance
lon* enough. The business n eds of the

Runaway on Itrnnuhton Street.
Shortly after noon yesterday, u mule
attached to a grocery wagon belonging
to J. A. Alexander, while near Congress
aud Barnard streets, became frightened,
and made a dash down Barnard street
to Broughton, and up that street In
a westerly direction. There was no driver
on (he vehicle, and the mule had full
swing. A* he passed the corner of
Broughton and Barnard street*, however,
he was spied by Patrolman F. T. Wall,
who jumped on the rear of the wagon with
the Intention of getting the reins and stop
ping the fleeing animal.
The w.tgon was filled with empty gro
cery baskets, and It was some time be
fore the officer could g**i enough of them
out of hl> way to reach (he front of the
wagon. When he got there it was only
to find that the reins were beyond his
reach, trailing along the ground. He was
determined to stop tha< mule, however,
and nothing daunted by lack of reins, slid
astride the flying animal and made his
way fur enough forward to get hold of the
lines, where they come through the sad
dle of the harness. With the*c Ik* was
able to stop the mule by the time West
Broad street was reached. All who saw
the act praised the officer’s coolness, aml
bravery.

Secret Service Ageat Naklw* Iwvea
tlueiton* Here.
A United States seer-1 service agent Is
In the city for the purpose of tracing the
course of a 110 counterfeit bill, and Inci
dentally looking Into the conduct of the
people who aided In the clrculallon of the
bill. The story Is an interesting one.
The bill first made Its appearance at
the Southern Bank about two months ago
Its character was at once detected by the
teller, who returned It at once to the de
positor, a well known and responsible bus
iness man. Incidentally the teller marked
the bill, and made a note of Its class and
number. It Is said to have been a verv
clumsy piece of wotk, being simply a 91
silver certificate which had been raised to
l V by erasure, and writing in the higher
figures Many hours must have been ex-
I nded In the work nn.l some surprise
was expressed by those who saw the hill
that anyone should have gone to so much
trouble, to say nothing of the risk, for
the sake of a few dollars.
The depositor was notified of the char
acter of the bill and the counterfeit re
turned to him How it got into circulation
again Is not known. Probably he retutn
<d It to the man from whom he obtained
It. A month later the hill showed up al
the Citizens Bank, where It was recog
nized by Teller Clark as a counterfeit.
The bill was returned to the depositor,
this lime a lawyer, with information as
to lls character. Henceforth Its course
la elear. The lawyer |>aid It to a mer
chant In the country and the latter Im
mediately deposited it with the Citizens
Bank, by which It had been refused only
a short time before.
As the bill seemed destined to remain
In circulation the bank authorities de
termined to take action. The bill was te
talned end the attention of the treasury
department was called to the matter. The
result Is the advent of the secret service
agi tit. The latter has Interviewed the
bank petti* and some others who havc
handled the bill. What he Is Interested
In knowing is not where and by whom the
< ounterfeit was originated, but how It
eame to be continued In circulation bi
ts.tple who knew ita character. The In
vestigation may result In interesting de
velopments later.
