CHAPTER FIRST.

- a Mired Cdse-A soldier of the 18th
regiment, which was paid off on Satur-
day, was arrested on q charge OF as
. sault and battery on the person of 9
clothing merchant, and kept in jail I'M
I'll yesterday morning. He has since
had the clotbier arrested on serious
cha;ges. The soldiers story 10 to the
following effect: He says that before
his regiment was paid of, he was in
dueed to purchase suit Of clothes for
$40, which be afterwards ascertained
60 be worthrDo more than $50 As soon
as he was paid off, the dealer served a
capias upon him, took him into hack,
\ and, with CONFEDERATE choked him,
end by force Of arms took the money
out of his pocket He was then driven
to the State House, on some pretense
the hack-driyer charging him $40
which be was compelled to pay. The
clothier then--so he says-had him ar
rested on a charge of assault and bat
lottery, and, his money in the meantime
being all gone, be was cast into jail
.gTbns be fnds himself without a cen
of the $500 which was paid to him Oh

HON. Thomas CarKin nring.

The painful intelligence is communi-
Gated by ouryWa shington correspondent
that the Hon. Thomas Corwin was, last
night, in dying condition, having had
a terrible paFalytic stroke that deprivel
him of an consciousness and left him in
hopeless condition. 1t seems almost
certain that before these lines meet the
eyeo the reader he will be no more.
Thomas Corwin was born in Bourbon
County, Kentucky, July 20, 1894. He
was in hum BILE cireanistsnees, and won
his way in life by his great ability and
energy. Removing to Ohio at an early
age, he settled in Lebanon, and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1917. In. 1892 he
was elected to the Legislative and in
1881 was elected to Congress from the
Warren District, aud continued a mem
Der of the. Hohse for eht years. In
1910 he was elected Governor of Ohio;
and was a candidate for reelection, and
defeated by Wilson Shannon, I'M 1912.
In 1845 he was elected to the United
States Senate, and remained in the
Senate until 1850, when he entered
President FiIImore''s cabinet as Secreta-
nv of the Treasury When Fillmore 8
Administration was ended, Mr.. Corwia
opened law Office in this city, and for
several years practiced his profession
here In 1858. he was elected to the
Houseo of Representatives, from his old
district, where his family constantly re,
sided. He took leading part in the
memorable debates of the XXXVIth
Congress- and was reelected, but &C
ccepted an appointment By President
Lincoln as Minister to Mexico. He left
that country after the establishment Of
the throne of Macmillan, and has re-
Gently been engaged in the practice of
law in Washington. Few men have
been more famous as popular orators
than Mr.. Corwin, and the announcement
that he would speak at any public meet
ing was. for many years sufficient to
bring together a multitude of people.
There are but few persons of mature
years, in Ohio, who have not heard
him and recognizen. his rare gifts as
an orator His fund Of aheedote was
inexhanstible, and his capacity Of telling
an apt story to point sarcasm, or re.
lieve or adorn an argument, was hardly
second to that of President Lincoln him
selfsD His vast and varied experience,
and misunderstanding gave him extra
ordinary breadth and .theroughuess Of
Information, and his knowledge was al,
ways OF command. He was not rash in
conclusions, or hasty in giving judg-
ment, and the tone of his mind was
conservative whils his temper 10 The
consideration Of POLITICAL affairs WAS
calm, considerable, and judicial. Identi-
fed, during the great struggle following
theIrepeal Of the Missouri Compromise,
with the prevailing sentiment of the
NORTH that from the policy Of restricting
slavery; grew during the war to aAdeter-
mination to abolish it, he was never an
advocate of extreme views, bat favored
measures that were on the practical
level, and cultivated moderation as q
political virtue.

THE BILLIARD EHAMPioE.-We see BY
the New York Clipper that John Me-
Dewitt, formerly of IndianapoliS the
champion Billiard player of the United
States, has become the proprietor of the
elegant billiard rooms formerly kept by
Messrs. Goldthwait and Cahill, in Sixth
avenue, near Thirteenth street, New
York, and the challenge which he issued
after his victory of Goldthwait last May,
TO play any billiard professional in the
United States for ten thousand dollars a
side, 1900 points upr il accordance
with the regulations of the American
Billiard Congress, still remains open
and unaecepted: Goldthwait has ex
pressed his willingness to play two
match games in Boston and New Y orl
for 81, 900 side, 1900 points up ON
game TO be played with the push shot
the other with the push shot barred. w
have no doubt but that McDevitt will &C
cept the challenge and beat him into th
bargain.

CHAPTER SECOND.


- 3 Horc Soldiers Bills are Collected -
We have learned some additional facts
4 in regard to the means employed by
some Of the. disrepntabIe clothiers of
this city to swindle the soldiers out of
represented-and we have them on good
- authority--the secret history of the cloth
ing trade in certain qusrters Of the city
will form one of the most astounding
chapters In the record OF scoundrelism
1t is said that certain houses in this city
have entieed soldiers into their dens,
aud, when the soldiers declined to buy,
they have offered to lay away suit of
clothes for them until they were paid of,
& and under pretense of getting the SOL
dier's address, have induced them TO
sign blank note, which they afterwards
filed np1for such amounts as the dis
houest merchant thinks would be appro-
pirate. AS soon as the soldier is paid
off, he is served with cdpids dd re-
