MORE FROM WEIDNER-One More Sharp
Dodge.-Another Of Jacob Weidners fnan-
cial transactions has come to the surface,
although he seems to have settled himself
beyond reach of detectives. victim and
a dupe now swell the anthem of invective,
pitching the tune at $500.
Friday night, George Med. Madere was
arrested and taken to the first precinct sta
rionhouse, on complaint OF Mr.. James Chal-
aron, cashier of the Union National Bank,
who asserted that Madere had attempted to
obtain money by false pretences. As our
laws do not know any such crime, Judge
Macarthur paroled accused to appear yes
terday morning, supposing that the COM
plainart would be better informed, and
amend the charge on making new affi,
davit, and he was correct.
Mr.. Madere's statement is about as fol-
lows Several months ago, Jacob Weidner,
the great American multiplier, called on
him and requested, as a great favor, to use
his name in bank-that is, he (Weldnerl
was liable to seizure, and having several
thousand dollars in money, desired TO de-
posit it. but dare not use his own name.
tearing the sheriff. Madere consented to
allow his name to be used in that manner,
and some money was left IN the Union
National Bank to the credit OF George
Med. Madere. Occasionally Weidner
would call on his friend to sign checks Tor
him, and every thing looked lovely. Ma
dere's signature became SO solid that his
account was overdrawn more than once,
but the amounts were not only made good
soon afterward, but further deposits
handed in. This went along smoothly
until Weidner had perfected his rascally
plans to swindle others. Of course he
knew just how much money stood to the
credit of Madere's name in the bank,
and when prepared to slay professional
brokers, he sailed in to take a fat slice out
of the institution mentioned. He drew two
checks. one for $40 and one for SAL, and had
the Union National to certify them. Just
here came in the trick which exposed him
that of the blank space between the sum
and the word dollar. After the checks
were certified, he raised the ten to one
thousand, and the simple forty -one to that
many hundreds, thus making the total
5000 from nothing. Mr.. Madere asserts
that he is innocent in these TRANSACTIONS,
and until his arrest never thought that
harm could grow out of his permitting his
name to be used as depositor in bank. a
well known citizen of the Sixth District
signed his bond, believing him entirely tree
OF completely in Weidner's tricks.
Nothing has been heard of Weidner's
hiding place, if he is hidden, and the de.
tectives had not struck even warm trail
last evening. .

A FRIENDLY PREsENTATIoN.-Yesterday

A FRIENDLY PREsENTATIoN.-Yeste
morning a happy party OF gentlemen met
in Zeigler's beer saloon, No. IL Royal street,
and all but one understood that there was
an interesting programme to be rehearsed
On one Of the tables stood one of the most
unique goblets that ever q man used to
molsten his clay. Mr.. Zeigler and Mr.. Har-
vey Cree are particularly close friends, and
the first named desired to present the latter
with friendly token of esteem: A fine,
plain cut glass goblet was procured and
handed to native artist who was instruct
ed to engrave several masonic emblems on
it's outside surface, adding the names men
toned. This work, rarity, transforms the
goblet into one of the most unique pieces of
work ever seen. The emblems are quite
perfect in outline and the groupings will be
readily understood by members of the
fraternity. A mutual friend made the little
presentation speech for Mr.. Zeigler. as that
gentleman is somewhat left handed in the
English language. The recipient, though a
dealer in ice. was chilled to his marrow at
first, but quickly melted and responded in
earnest tones. Each of the participants
then slipped drink of Atfenthaler from the
goblet, drinking t. the health of both re-
cipient and donor.
