nrA MEMPEs TENNFssEE: FRIDAY DECEMBER

ia FIVE feet eight and half inches tall,
has black whiskers, weighs about one
hundred and fifty pounds, and is an in
telligent genteel-looking man. He has
worked with some OF the most notorious
counterfeiters in the country, such as
Joe Miller, alias Kincaid, and the Reno
boys, Of Seymour, Indiana, who were
taken out Of the Jail at New Albany,
where they were confined for robbing an
express car of the Indianapolis and JEFF
fersonville road, near Seymour, about
two years ago, and hung by mob. He
was also associated with Lew Dolman,
alias Snyder" who was shot by the
police in this city one year ago last
spring while attempting to escape; and,
last though not least, with Fred Biebusch,
now being tried before the United States
District Court for counterfeiting.
AS LECTURER. a,..
For while he went through the State
delivering lectures as TO the best way Of
detecting counterfeit money, and making
from fifty TO one hundred dollars night
by so doing, together with disposing of q
great quantity of the queer" at good
profit. We were shown last night S.
greenback and fifty cent fractional
currency note of his manufacture. They
are certainly the best executed counter
feits we have ever seen, and are well
calculated to deceive the keenest ex-
perts. At the time Of his arrest he had
on his person large quantity Of the de-
nominations mentioned, which, with
$1,000 500 bond (genuine), is now in the
hands Of the United States Commissioner
at Springfield. ~. "'
Hi SHOWING THE QUEER.
r As an illustration Of the readiness
with which McCartneys counterfeits cir
culate among business men, we were in
formed that one of the most prominent
livery men of Cincinnati sold johnson,
who was arrested there with Mccartney,
horse for $l60 and took his pay in the
queer, without suspicion as toits ma
ture, although accustomed to handle
large amounts of money daily. This is
but one instance of how much injury an
expert like Mccartney can work in a
community. The thanks Of every man
in the West are certainly due Col. Whit
ley and his shrewd, faithful assistants
Eagan, Lonergan and Applegate-for
the valuable service they have rendered
in eff'ecting so important capture. = T..

said that this sort of thing went on for a
long time InlJuly last the ladies went
down to Cacoanna, while his Royal High
ness went cruising about the country,
and rusticated q while with Mr.. Hugh
Allan at his country seat at Lake Mem
phremagog. He afterward went to Ca
coanna also, aud there the intimacy
beween, himself and those young ladies
was renewed with greater zeal, IL possi-
BILE, than before. His Royal Highness
afterward came up to Quebec, and pre-
sented the new colors to the Sixty-ninth
regiment Of foot, the same regiment
which mutinied on board the 0rontes the
other day; and at the ball which was
given afterward he danced with this
young lady once or twice. Shortly after
this the ladies returned 10 Cacoanna.
His Royal Highness left the country
few days afterward for England.
SURPRISE.
When the mother of one of the ladies
(they were cousins) went down to Caco-
anna after an absence of two weeks in
Montreal where she had been attending
sick husband, she found that m
HER DAUGHTER WAS NON EST IYvEYrUs,
having made a second trip to Quebec,
accompanied by her cousin, on the last
trip Of the Napoleon Ill Full ofterror,
she telegraphed to Montreal and to Que
bee, but no tidings of the stray-aways
could, be gotten. The police were COM
municated with, but to no effect They
had gone, and had not left tale or tidings
behind them. The mother came back to
Montreal, where she found note from
her daughter, dated Quebec, which stated
that she and her cousin had gone off for
a tour to the States; that circumstances
rendered such a tour necessary, and that
she would hear from them shortly. This
is all she has heard from either of them
personally; but a gentleman who arrived
from England in the latter part of last
month says that f AI 30 f}1m
HE SAW THEN WHILE IN THE OLD COUNTRY,
and that they were promenading with
two officers of the Rife Brigade, one of
whom he described as a tall, haxen-
haired, handsome man, with slight
3" strawberry" mark on the throat. This
answers the description of Captain.
Lindsay exactly a !
Meanwhile the father of one and the
brother and uncle of the other lady have
gone to England. There is constant
talk over the matter, and it is now pub
licly known that they have gone to search
for the daughter and the sister who were
enticed from the path of virtue by
royal name, and by the plausible tongues
of officers ofa rifle brigade. The names
Of the ladies have not been given. They
are respectively Brinkworth and Long
muir.

ARREST AND ESCAPE.

A week ago yesterday, Mccartney, to-
gether with a man named Charley John
son, was arrested by some detectives in
Cincinnati. Nothing was found on Nc
Cartney, but from johnson were taken
1921 in counterfeit twenties, fves, and
fifty cent fractional currency, with a full
set of plates for printing the twenties.
They were locked up in the Third street
police station, but last Sunday night Me-
Cartney succeeded in escaping; how is
not known.

Friday evening last, about o'clock
Eagan received information TO the effect
that Nc Cartney was then in Venice, Ill.
inois, a small village about five miles up
the river, and directly opposite the
island where Fred Biebusch lay hid sf
ter forfeiting his bail. Upon learning
this, Eagan, with detectives Applegate
and Lenergan, crossed the river, went up
to Venice, and caught their man in a
hotel there. ..,...
Ena a THE PRICE OF LIBERTY. ''i
When arrested Mccartney proposed
that If they would let him go, he would
give them full sets Of plates all ready for
the manufacture Of every denomination
of money, from fifty dollars down to fifty
cents, and which he said we're worth, at
the lowest figure, $4,000, together with
$50, 900 Of "queer" money, all ready for
distribution. He guaranteed that his
notes would sell readily at fifty cents on
the dollar, This proposition, il is hardly
necessary to say, was declined McOart-
ney then offered no less than SIS 900 for
his liberty
AFTER THE CAPTURE.
+ After his capture Nee Cartney was hand
cufed to one Of the detectives, placed in
q carriage and brought TO St Louis. He
was taken 10 ons Of our hotels and al
lowed TO 20 10 bed, two Of the detectives
sitting up all night with him in the room.
-'-s BACK TO HIS OLD QUARTERS.
Yesterday morning he was again ironed
and sent 10 Springfield, Illinois, from the
Jail Of which place he escaped in 1861,
after having been convicted Of counter
feiting. His escort arrived there safely
with him, and he is now once more be-
hind the bars.
HIS SUMNER QUARTERS.
On the 7th day Of May last Mccartney
was here, and bought four thousand
sheets Of bank note paper. which he took
with him 70 Minneapolis, Minnesota,
where he and his family spent the sum
mer, busily engaged all the time in man
ufacfuring "coney," OF counterfeit
money, and with which, had he not been
arrested, be would in short time have
flooded the whole Western country.

Mccartney, Who, as we have stated, is
one Of the most noted and expert coun-
terfeiters in the United States, has rare
talent as an engraver. he makes all
his own plates, is a good printer, and
thus does all his own work without run

MCCARTNEY AND BIEBuscH.

At the time of his wife's arrest, Nc
Cartney, as was afterward ascertained,
was here and at Fred Biebuschs house,
Fred being at liberty. II is certain that
he saw Fred, for in the overcoat that the
latter threw away the night of his cap
ture, was 5000 of counterfeit money,
which had been struck off Of the plate
that was found on Mccartney at the
time of his arrest.
