Another Political Judas.

The late session of the New York leg.
islature was not shining sample Of cour-
teous behavior and political purity. One
democratic member whacked another
democratic member in the face, and he
was obliged to pass in his legislative
checks and go home. A republican
member, named Winans, sold himself to
Tammany for goodly sum of money
and some advertising. Democrats fur
nished the stamps and republican news
papers are giving Winans few squares
of advertising, gratis.
The New York Assembly is composed
of l2S members, and it requires maj
ority of the whole number to pass bill.
An equal number of democratic and
republican members were elected last No.
vember, but the democratic canvassers in
one of the New York city districts coun-
ted out H. N. Twombley. the republican
candidate, on some mere technically,
and gave the election to his democratic
opponent. BY this shameful fraud the
democracy gained majority in the As
sembly.
But it came to pass that Smith M.
Weed, of Clinton, though a democrat,
was not on very good terms with the
Tammans men, and occasionally united
with the republicans to defeat some of
the pet schemes of the Ring. On one
particular occasion his course called down
the wrath of one Jim Irving, shoulder
hitting member, from one of the New
York city districts The result was IT.
wing punched Weeds head one day -
This dastardly attack raised such breeze
that Irving, fearing expulsion. resigned.
Then the republicans with Weeds vote f,
were one too many for the Tammany
crew, and the case looked desperate
from democratic stand point. There
were several nice jobs that must go
through and consequently vote must
be bad. A Judas was found, who would
betray his trust. Winans, of Chatauqua,
is the man, who, it is said. sold bis vote.
his honor, his manhood to Tammany,
for SIS, 900 and sundry incidentals.-
And when this bargain and sale was
made, Tammany lost no time in passing
their UBIQUITOUS measures. Bills were
passed without being referred TO com
mittee, or even so much as read, and not
a republican member, and bu; very few
democrats, knew of their provisions
Such outrages stands without a parallel
in legislative history. The perfdious
treachery Of Winans outranks anything
we ever heard Of and his conduct is de-
serving the condemnation of all good
citizens.

The Wheeling Iatetligencer of Wednesday
says;-
Monday night serious accident happened to
q freight train going east on the Parkersburg
branch OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
about one mile from Wilsonburg. There are
several bridges spanning small streams within
short distance of the village named A train had
passed over the road not long In advance of the
unfortunate one. and one of the bridges was set
on fire, it is believed, from Goals dropping out of
the ash pan upon the floor.
The train to which the accident happened
came along on time, and the engineer in coming
around sharp curve near the burning bridge
saw the danger before him. The distance was
too short to bring the train to stop, although
every effort was made to do so. Reversing the
engine, the engineer leaped from his position
and escaped unhurt. The train ran upon the
bridge when il fell with terrific crash, carrying
down with il five cars loaded with whisky, ,tobac-
co, and pork. The fireman went down with the
wreck, and is supposed to have been instantly
killed. Nothing has been seen of him since the
train made the fearful leap. The burning tim

morning on official business, expecting, of
course, to find the President in his office, as he
has designated through the papers certain hours
during which attention will be given TO business

callers in the ante-roOm, and informed them
that the President was out.

THE BALTIMORE FORGERY.
How the Thing Was Done-Adroit SwindIe of n



The Baltimore Sun OF yesterday says
The swindlers of the present day are famous,
and it is wonderful how, of all Others they SO
often practise successfully upon banks aud
bankers in our large cities. SO numerous and
ingenious, however, are the ways of the
up with them at the moment. The practice
of depositing certified checks and max
ing transactions on them has afforded
facilities for swindlers at various times in
New York, and yesterday an operation
of this sort was got off here on of our banks.
In the morning, shortly after banking operations
commenced, young man about twenty eight
years of age, of gentemanly exterior, and dressed
in gray suit, entered the Third National Bank,
on South street, near Second, and presented to
MIR. A. NJ. Carter, the cashier, letter purporting
to be signed by l.. B. Coltngton & Co, of New
York, introducing him ms John Is. Thompson
He entered into conversation with Mr.. Carter,
informing him of his intention to enter into the
tobacco business here, and talking about the
different descriptions OF tobacco Kentucky
and Virginia products, and other matters con-
nected with the tobacco trade. He referred also
to firm in the trade in Baltimore,
with whom he had negotiated for a
store. He desired to arrange for keeping his
account with the Third National, but seemed
somewhat displeased when informed that the
bank would not allow interest on his deposits.
He finally, however, decided on selecting the
bank as his depositary, and deposited certified
check in the name of l.. b. Coltington d Co. on
a well. known New York bank for $13 600. The
man then left, but In a few minutes returned
and remarking that he had immediate use fol-
some money, drew a check for $500, which was
paid to him in currency by the cashier. After
he had left the bank the second time, in reply
came that the draft for $l3 900 was a base for
gerry. The detective officers were at once pu
on the alert for the successful swindler but up tC
late hour last evening he had eluded arrest.
