THE .WlNSLOW AFFAIR.
Further Particulars---The Milwaukee
Avenue Savings Bank.
Rumored Flight Of Wirslow to China---A
Gard from Colonel jacobson.

It is due to the reputation and standing Ferd
s. Winslow enjoyed up to the time Of his leaving
thecty to state that he has created the most pro-
found sensation OF his life thus far. There are
none among his later acquaintances and buBi~
ness associates but are taken with complete sur
prise at the sudden developments that have oon-
verted the dashing banker and oper-
ator into a fugitive. The most un-
fortunate victims of the surprise are the
humber class of his Scandinavian countrymen
who had trusted him implicitly, and too implic-
lily even to be shaken by the rurnors that have
been afoat in community for the past three
or four weeks, for it seems strange that there
we're no open tokens of uneasiness among these
savings depositors until the whole story had been
told in tho dily press, and uneasiness came too
late to bring precaution with it, Certain mer-
chants, especially dealers in highpriced luxuries,
were, yesterday, suddenly remembering the extent
and laYishness of some Of Mr. Wins1ow's credit
orders made immediately before le aviug the
city. One of them finds new light thrown on IN
unliquidated account Of $500 for fine wines :,
corda1s. and cigars. he filed with great alacrity
for Mr. ". on tho day before the brisk Dane in
the velvet cont wont away from Chicago, and
other share his grief.
The small savings bank, No. II Milwaukee av-
enue, occupying one-ha1f the promises Of q plain
brick store, was, yesterday, for the first time
visited by an aesemblaga Of Winslow's victims,
looked sadly up at q p}acard on tho door,
s'Suspended," and quietly and without demon
stration exchanged experiences and losses. The
bank throughout the day was thus attended, and
du1ged the privilege Of their sex in speaking their
minds, and would have made an interview with
ME. Winslow extremely unpleasant for him. One
crippled man, named Jacob Jacobson, WIS in
great distress, and his tears flowed copious1y.
The poor fellow has 81 300 deposited with Mr.
Window, and all his available funds wherewith
to support his family consist Of fifty cents
Several parallel cases we're heard of, most of Mr.
Winslow's depositors being poor workingmen,
who were confident that tleir money was in tho
countryman. It was also rumored that the
genial proprietor of the Skandinauen, Mr. An
derson, had been mu1cted in the sum of 81, 600
by 1Ir. Winslow, but this is omphatically denied
By Mr. ccnnacon AndoTs0 who s 1 that wnsn h. had
The friends Of the missing banker
assert that he is on his way back to Chicago, but
this is doubted, as dispatches have been re-
coiyed in this city stating that WinBlow had en-
barked for China, and q Danish paper published
at Copenhagen also makes the assertion that he
has gone to China With the sunl OF 81, 900 in his
possession.
The following announcement appeared in to-
days Scandinavian papers, and will explain
itself:
COLONEL JACoBsoNs CARD.
Tho difficulties Of F. s, Wiusiow Of the Scandna-
rian National Bank do not in the least affect the title
to Winslow, Jacobson Tallman's and Winslow's l.
JAcobson's Subdivisions. N1r: Talmen and myself,
nearly two months ago. bought the inereat of 11r.
Nnslow in his land aud have comne.o abstract Of
the sae which shows that tho title is in the name of
Mr. Tall1aan anu myself. These papers will be hap
py to show to any interested. 4. JACOBSON.
The utmost sympathy is felt for Mr. Wins
lows family, upon whom the blow falls with the
same suddenness as upon the community. Both
in his household and among his acquaintancas
the absentee has made popular qualities serve
in place Of what is now apparent, the absence Of
lie will be sure Immediately to set on foot what
will ripen into q fresh astonishment for the
a1mond-eyed Celestials. He is travelling with
trained troupe of maryels designed to astonish
his fellow-men, comprised of one member
himself.
