Special.! Defauttiag Treasurer J. A. Jeakini last night skipped for parts somewhere in Mexico. When the experts made public their ttemeit that Jenkins was short $20,Sv i. the figures were too large for him, and rather than run the chances of being arrested he thought it beet to vamoose. Jenkins is in the last aiages of consumption, and it is thought bla flight will be ol very short duration. The overhauling of the records dates from the May settlement thia year made by Mr. Jenkins with the state. The anditor'a books at that time were exactly with those of the treasurer. It will thus be seen that the treasurer's books were never tampered with. The law contemplates that the auditor's Looka shall be a check on those of the treasurer, but this is not true as to the cash account. The auditor's books only show the amount that the treasurer should have on band.

Mr. Jenkins claimed that circumstances conspired to make hi in a defaulter. This, he alleges, will he demonstrated by an examination of the books dating back fifteen years. He intimated that many crooked transaction will be discovered when a thorough investigation is made. Jenkins remarked to K. C. Kaken, Patrick Tracy and Couucilman J.

He said that be had never loaned Mr. Jenkins anv monev to conduct his campaign. He said that he had advanced hun JJ.500 orSl.WX) with which to buy some property, but this was his individual funds, and that Mr. Jenkins had since oaid him that sum. When he turned over the ollicu to Mr. Jenkins he took his receipt for 4 7, 000. Mr. Sinitha has retained Attorney Henry Burtt. LorisviLi.E, Ky., June IS. Though three days have elapsed since J. AI Jenk las, the defauting ex-treasurer of Clark county, left Jenersonville to escape arrest, his l'igbt is still the principal topic of conversation among the oliicials of that city. As h usual on euch occasions. there are numerous rumors as to his whereabouts, most of which were, upon investigation, found to be groundless. Several plaunb'.e reports have been re ceived by Jenkins bondsmen, however. and the beet clew is based upon a statement made by Conductor Vaughter of the O. fe M. He stated that on the night of Jenkins' departure a man answering the description cf the tnl'sing ex-treasurer had boarded the west-bound O. k M. train at New Albany and had paid his fare to St. Lou id. The con ductor noticed the man particularly be cause of his continual coughing. Other passengers were attracted bv it, and it was feared the unknown man would die be fore reaching St. Louis. Jenkins, it will be remembered, was afflicted with a hack ing cough, and was frequently compelled to quit work on account of it. Another report current in Jefferson Tille is that Jenkins m now in or near thia city at the house of his brother-in-law, one "Cooney Ogdsn. There are several par eons named Ugden mentioned in the city directory, but who of them is Jenkins' relative is not known. The bondsmen of the defaulter are mazing every eflort to bnd mm.

Be on your GuardIf some grocers urge another baking powder upon you in place of the " Royal," it is because of the greater profit upon it. This of itself is evidence of the superiority of the "Royal." To give greater profit the other must be a lower cost powder, and to cost less it must be made with cheaper and inferior materials, and thus, though selling for the same, give less value to the consumer. To insure the finest cake, the most wholesome food, be sure that no substitute for Royal Baking Powder is accepted by you. Nothing; can be substituted for the Royal Baking Powder and give as good results.

Considerable indignation is expressed over the allair. KILLED AT THE CROSSING. A Montgomery County Farrier Meets a Terrible Knte. Crawfobdsville, June 17. Special. Wiiliaru Ilipes, a prominent and wealthy farmer, with one of his daughters, was killed instantly by a Vandalia train near this city this morning. The ecene of the horrible affair was at the intersection of the Yami.via road with the turnpike that runs to Danville. It is almost impossible to eee an approaching train of card at this point until one id alinoct on the track a high hill obstructs the view. Mr. Ilipes vrai ia his waon accompanied by two daughter and, although the engineer eaid he sounded tha whist. o loudly, for some reason Mr. Ilipes evidently did not bear it and ie drove upon the track just in time for the train to 6tri ke the waon. Mr. Ilipea wa killed immediately and one of the daughters, Mies Kna Hipe, died in a few moments after the choc!;. The other daughter, Miss Neide, was also seriously injured and much shocked, but the physicians think that ehe will fully recover. The Ilipes family is very prominent in Montgomery county and highly respected. The cars were used for wrecking purposes and passed along at rather an unusual hour or oerhaps Mr. Ilipes miht havo been looking out for them. Knineer Kyan of the construction train gave his story of the accident. He had been ordered to Sedalia for work and wa running north about ten minutes ahad of ttie regular morning mail truio. When he approached the Danville crossing he whistled as usual, but when in a bort distance of the pot he eaw that he wua uoinj to strike a farm wegen which whs giing upon the tr.ick. He whiild for brakes, but it was of no avail for the wnon was struck about in the middle, the horses being on the north side of the track. As the engine wuoped down on its victims Iiyan saw that the wagon contained a man and two women who never realized their fate until it was upon them. They looked up when he whist. ed for brakes, but a second later they were struck aud the train kept on abuut 200 yards before it could be stopped. One of the women was upon the pilot and the man dead upon the side cf the track, he only breathing a few times after the crew picked him up. The third occupant was thrown clear over the fence, and when the train stopped had gotten up and was daggering away toward a houne south of the track. The dead man and the woman on the pilot were placed in tho caboose aud brought on to town. When Dr. Knsmiager and Dr. Hall of Chicago reached the station they found the dead body of Mr. Hipes by the tdde of his injured daughter, surrounded by a crowd of sympathizing men, who were fanning the pallid sunerer whose groans of ageny were heartrending and pitiful. Mr. Ilipea had an arm almost cut otT and his head and side crushed. He probably never fully realized what killed him. His eldest daughter, Miss Kena, was the one beside him, and she was terribiy injured about the head and heart, Ir. Kngminger pronounced her injuries fatal. Dr. Eneminger this afternoon reports Miss Kna Ilipea as itiil alive, but with no chance for recovery. She has never regained consciousness and is euüering from hemorrhage of the braio. She mav live until some time tomorrow. Miss Nellie is batter and did not sustain any injuries of a fatal or f yen serious nature. She is badly bruised and shaken up, but will recover all right. All three were struck on the left side of the bead, and while Miss Nellie was knocked twenty feet over a fence she escaped miraculously. The crossing where tho accident occurred is a notoriously bad one. The road crosses the track diagonally, and on tüe side from which the train approached is a steep bank covered with locust trees. It runs far back and hides from view any train which might be approaching. The only way in which travelers are apprised of the approach of the trains is by the whistle for the crossing. It is probable that Mr. Ilipes knew that the passenger train was not due for several minutes after he attempted to cross, and as the wrecker was a epecial he was whohy unprepared for that. The rattling of his wagon over the hard road prevented him from hearing the whistle for the crossing, and when the whistle for brakes was made it was too late to escape. RYAN GETS SEVEN YEARS. The Iteward II Iteeelves for Shooting a Young Woman. Andebsox, J une 15. Special. Patrick Ryan, jr., was sentenced this morning to seven years in the penitentiary by Judge Goodykoontz for shooting Maggie Densooner in the dining-room of the Flahan hotel several months ago.
