0IGANric SwINeLs.-The arrest Of No
80 Lsdinston, . Chicago merchant, last
August. at The instance. Of ssms Of bis New
York creditors and victims. .jhas developed
one Of the most gigantic swindlss ever per-
petrated upon business men. Ludinston
by tho aid Of . man named Baker-suc.
essdsd BY . series sf ingenious deeeptions,
in making . fictitious bank account In New
York, and then BY referring men 10 h,s
banker, obtsined credit Of the best Arns 10
New Ysrk to the amount Of $50. 900. which
vas run Up ts 800, 900 Ia Philadelphia and
Boston. The geeds thus obtained we're
shipped 70 Chicago and then partly ssld q
auction for cash, and spirited away BY Lud-
inston's confedsratss, AID The stsrs ssaliy
closed out on sham judgments in their
name. BY singular combination ef Do.
tectiye skill aud aceide ents. the whels scheme
has been fully exposed. The developments
show an amount oficool calculating shrswd-
ness in villainy which prove the perpetra-
tors Of this swindle at the head Of their
cla.s. and entities them to reserved seats
at Sing Sing.
TRYING TO Tis TasrR HASps.-Ws learn
that . committee purperting 10 represent
the people. have visited two Of the nomi
nees Of the School Board with paper for
them to sign, pledging them to do certain
things In case they are elected. We are
pleased to know that they we're told that
if tho people, after three yssrs' trial, didn'i
have confidence in them that they would de
their best for the schools, they could elect
somebody else. We are RI the opinion that
such 90 effort to throw certain ones out Of
the schools, and put others in, 10 very pool
policy indeed. and should be seorned BY
every m@3bsr Of the Besrd.
