Marriage Licenses. STORY OF A CHEQUS. John H. Wilbur was 1 my business partner. He was a good, easy going fellow, with whom people liked to deal, but he was none teo careful, none too accurate, none too energetic 'When I worried about little complications, and was running around over our establish. ment in a high state of nervous excitement, he would deliberately sit down, with good nature beaming all over his face. and read funny things in the comic papers he was always buying. Thus, when anything went wrong, he would sit down and wait for it to come around r'ght, just as placidly as Micaw- bar waited for something to turn up, But I always liked John, and I never once Joma it in my heart to grow impatient with na wero generally prosperous, but once upon a time we had a streak of bad luck.-- 'We met with some heavy losses just as a very dull season, came frowning upon us. Month after month passed away, and owing to the dull times our business dwindled away till we found ourselves barely able to meet our obligations and pay our expenses. At this period my pastner started out to visit several small cities within a few hun- dred miles of our owa city on business con- uected with the firm. He left by the steamer, and I saw him off with the usual hearty "good-bye," and" returned to the counting-room. 1 had just teken 2 sest at my desk to answer an important business letter when a gentleman named Edington came in to col. lect a bill of twelve hundred dollars which we promised to pay that day. I'gave him a check for the amount, our balance in the bank being, as I supposed, about eleven thousand dollars, In a little while he cape into the count. ing room, with a look upon his face which I instinctively felt was portentious of some- thing wrong. That check,' he said, hesitating--* the fact ig----' ¢ Why, what is wrong 7' I asked interrupt- ing him, ¢ 1 went fo the bapk apd the teller said--' Ho again hesitated, and [ impatiently asked : ¢ Said what 7' ¢ Well. he wouldn't pay it.' ¢ Would'nt pay it! Why?' ¢ He probably would if had urged it, but he stated that no doubt it was an oversight on your pait, as the check was drawn for a larger amount than you had on deposit,' * What! Have I made 4 mistake! Let me see it," He handed me dhe cheque-- ¢ Twelve hundred dollars. That's all right.' Why, we have ten times that amount in that bank, What does hemean? He's crazy.-- Come with me.' I took my hat from a hook, and put it on with some emphasis ; then we started for the bank, I naturally felt keenly the impytation that I had given a cheque for a larger amound than we had on deposit, and I made up my mind op the way the president of the bank should immediately be informed of the in- dignity which had been put upon me by what I regarded as the stupid blunder either of one of the clerks or of the paying teller. ¢ He must have glanced carelessly at the cheque, and taken it for twelve thousand in- stead of twelve hundred,' I said to nfyself.-- ¢ Yet that seems increditablé, I don't un. derstand it. Well, we shall see.' We soon reached the bank, which was anly a fey squares from our place of bugipess and after waiting till the teller had paid several cheques, we stepped up to the win- dow and [I gaid ; ¢ Mr. Worth, I don't understand why you refuse to pay this cheque to Mr. Edington.' He took the cheque, looked at it and po- litely replied : intend to overdraw your accuunt. You What is our balance ?' Ho examined the ledger very carefully, and returning ¢o dis place said ; ¢ One thousand thirty-two." ¢ How much ?' He repeated jt. at| «You are surely mistaken,' { pid. 8 | ten times as much.' ; ¢8o it was,' he replied, ¢ until I paid that St is was drawn by us to-day.' ¢ Wes; I paid the cheque myselt.' s Who signed it?' "Mr. Wilbur? Rery.' ¢ Certainly.' The teller called to the cashier who hap- pened to step into the private office at that moment and presently handed me a cheque, which tare the usual mutilation incident to filing. ) Tomy astonishment 1 found it to be the 4 cheque of ten thousand dollars payable to " John H. Wilbur & Co., or bearer." It was signed "Jonn H. Wilbur & Co.", and the sig- nature was unquestionably that of my part-| ner | 1saw it all now. Our bad luck and "| dull times made 1t not improbable that our! business shquld go down ; and John Wilbur! had qoneluded to provide for himself--had: nearly diawn all our funds, and absconded-- leaving me helpiess and all alone to meet: the frowps of creditors. The thought was distracting ; it half-crazed me to have to be- ligve my partner a rogue, yet there was the evidence,' 1 told Mr. Edingtop fo call again in a few days, and kastened to the office of tho chief 4 of police, who at my request brought the ture of she fugitive ; and the result was, he was arrested at one af the stopping The ook 7a whith ad wh Eat od the next day brought back ang ushered [into my presence in the BS) AND" GENERAL ADVERTISER Oh, { merely supposed that you did not probably drew the cheque without thinking.' ¢ What do you mean by overdrawing ?-- ten thousand dollars cheque this morning.' | ¢ Ten thousand dollars | Ne such cheque, ¢ Let me seo it.' 1 began to apspeot for- WHOLE NO. 949 'Joe, I am amazed that ou coul me of rascality I' ' Swaps ¢ But the cheque----the cheque,' said I, ¢ It-must be forgery,' he said mildly, ¢ Then it is the best | ever saw, for 1 would bave written it.' * I must see that check at once, I Yaow it is a forgery.' My partner and I, together with the officer who had him in custody, went to the bank, entered the office, and had the privilege of Samui the ton thousand dollar cheque, -- ur scrutinized it closel. -- ly and turned pale ¢ Great Heaven | This is certainly my signature, But I must have been insane when I wrote it, I don't understand it" he said this in a kind of dispairing way, There was a troubled look upon his face, which seemed so entirely natural, that I al- most wavered in my belfef of his guilt.-- Yet there was the crushing evidence, and it came back upon me with fearful force, 'John, it looks bad. If I wrong you in suspecting you of this crime, I shall make every atonement. But you must admit your self that it looks bad. Does jt not 7' ¢ It does--it does I' he said with a sigh.' Bo my partner in whom I had confided and whom I had loved and honored for years, was committed to prisop to await an investigation, 4A detective took bold of the case, and his first move was to discover where the money had been put, for it was not on Wilbur's person. All his efforts to find' if were in vain, When Wilbur had been in jail two days he expressed a desire to see our cheque.book, and the detective brought him into the office where I was going over some accounts with the head book-keeper and a clerk named Kelmer. 'Joe, sald Wilbur, as pleasantly as it nothing unusual had accurred, f I've got an idea in my mind. Let me look at eur cheque-book.! ¢ Certainly, John, Ifit will aid you in explaining this matter, I shall be as glad as you if you can,' I handed him the cheque-book, and he examined jt a moment standing, then he de- liberately closed the eounting-100m door, and stood with his back against it, What desperate act was he about to commit ? Did he intend to murder all four of us and make his escape ?--or was he insane, This I had almost suspected since his arrest. ¢ Joe, said Wilbur, with a sudden eager- Res in his manner, on the day I left f drew # Ohgak for one hundred and fifty dollars, for traveling expenses.' 'Yes,' said I, ¢ It is noted here,' he proceeded ; 'but I perceive that another cheque has Toon torn from ¢he book right above where 1 took that from, and no account is make of it in the maggin. "Yes! ! Well that is the cheque that was filled out for ten thousand dollars.' ¢ But how came your signature to it ?' 'Ah, I see itall now I" he said. 'My usual carelessness, - Joe, you know that I am not 80 methodical as you. Often when I draw & cheque, I write the signature first thilg.-- Don't yon know yourself that this is a fact ?' | ¢ Yes, John, 1 know this to be the case,' ¢ Well,' and he glanced furtively at Kelmer ='do you happen to remember that there was a row between two draymen in front of the store that morning, and we all went to the door 7 og "It was when I had just sat down to write the cheque for a hundred and fifty dollars. I had the pen fomy hand, and-- although I do not positively reramnlier having done fo----1 must have written the signature to the cheque, then jumped up and gone fo the door. Before I returned some one musthave torn off the cheque and afterwards filled it out with ten thou- sand dollars.

Glancing at the latter, I perceived that he stood pale and quivering, ' Arrest him officer |" said Wilbur in an the trembling clerk. lian.' "Kelmer is this 80 2" I said rising from my chair, He did not reply, but with a sudden bound, he dodged past Wilbur, and sprang {| through the glass of the counting-house door, making a loud crash and sending the shattered glass ip every direction, He fell to the floor gn the outside, and before he could recover himself, the detective had rushed out and seized him, os " Come back, sir," he said leading ' him' into the countipg-roqm. * You don't get off 4 so easily.

Dr. "Spalding, of this city, says : 0 There isa wealthy farmer living thiee. miles below Kimball, on the west side of the Brazos river, near Powell date chitirchs-- His name is G. D. Greer. 'He has several brothers living here--wealthy nell good citizens. They came originally . Georgia, He had two diughters just --Miss Willie, eighteen years did, afd Miss Nannie, sixteen--both handsome, hid J amiable, and beloved by ail whe knew them. The eldest was an unusually sweet girl, About twelye {months ago a distant relit~ ive of Capt. Greer's first wife--the girls children of a second marriage--Rober Simms, a young stock raiser, passed through here on his ,way to Colorado, to which place ho was driving his ' herds, Stopping among his relatives he became enamoured with Miss Greer. Whether they were en. gaged or not is not certainly known. She probably loved him, as perhaps any sweet 8irl of eighteen years of age would love a handsome, * fearless, rich young man who might court hey for her love, And yet ske feared him, for he had killeda man in&- difficulty, so it is said 1n the south west part of the State. He went away however, wear- ing her ring and she wearing his. He [kept up a correspondence with one of her pncles to whom he seemcd to be very much attach~ ed. Eight months ago, a yorng Baltimore physician, pamed Frazer, secured board at Esquire Lane's, the father of Mrs Greer, and began practice. He met Miss Gpier, courted her, and tuey became engaged, and wero to be married on Nov.11. On Saturday morn. ing, Oct. 23, Miss Greer came down to make some purchases. Her father had gone with' his cotton crop to Dailas, and was to retum' that evening with her bridal outfit. On the Thursday before Rob Simms returned, having received a letter from his Uncle stating that Miss Greer was to be married. He called on Miss Greer, found out the state of her feeling, chided her, told her they were made for each other, and that no other man should ever claim her as wife. On Saturday morning he gave a friend & letter from his sister saying, Answer thaf to morrow if I do not return. I am up to Capt. Greer's and if I never return wind up my business," He went over and called for Miss Willie, who was with her mother and Dr. Frazer, her betrothed, in the the sitting room. When asked for . Miss Willie said, " Doctor, have you your pistol ¥ I am afraid of Bob ; he said he would kill me ;shall Igo in?' The Doctor said, "§ am not armed. Goin if you like." Alf three then went ja. Simms asked Miss Willie to walk with him in the garden but she declined. He then asked her to walk=out on the back porch, as he wished to have a good-bye chat with her, She went and he followed, shut.' ting the door after him, The mother heard them conversing and heard him say : "And you are the cause of it," heard her sob, and heard her say, "Oh don't do that, Bob /* Then bang! bang went his six-shooter ; then a pause, them bang | again, The mother threw open the door. There lay her beautiful daughter dead on the porch. One shot entered mear the heart, one entered the left eye and came out of the back of her head, He must have supported her with the left hand while shooting her. Near her lay Robt. Simms. The third shot he had fired through his own head, from back to front, The doctor raq out, turned the murderer's horse loose, and rau to the next house toget a gun, A runner was sent to meet her father, who was a few miles off on the Dailas road coming home. His agony, I hope neither younor I may never have, Nextday, Sunday, they brought her body here to Kimbail and buried it. Hisbody they carried to a graveyard: near Powell's Dale, where it was buried. re t-- ; Letter From Rev. J. Salmor, M.D. CriexaxN, Queen's County, NB. Mr. James I. Fellows.
