WATERLOO, Ind, Sept Is, 1874
Hon. JOHN H. BAKER, Goshen, Indi-
ana-Dedr Sir: The Democratic and Lib.
eral Convention assembled at Kendall
vile, on Sept. 9th, placed me in nomina-
ton for Congress from the 18th Iddiana
District. While / recognize that your
training for professional life, your associ-
alton with professional msn, and long ex-
perience as a lawyer, give you in debate
an advantage over one who is farmer,
and whose opportunities for study have
been limited to such moments of time as
could be seized upon in the brief inter-
mission from labor incident to such a
calling; yet, with an abiding faith in the
business of the cause have been selected
to represent, and impressed with the be-
lief that the corruptions, extravagancc
and maladministration of those you ren-
resent cannot withstand discussion and
exposure before the masses, respectfully
invite you to join me in a Joint discussion
of the political questions of the day, the
same to commence at such early time as
may be mutually convenient and to con-
tinde until the election. Allow me to
suggest the name of Samuel Schutt, of
DeKalb county, to act jointly with some
friend of yours in naming the time, place
and conditions OF discussion in the nor
thern and central part of the district, and
Daniel Mcdonald of Plymouth to confer
with some one on your behalf in Mar
shall and Kosclusko counties. L hereby
authorize the gentlemen named To act for
me in the matter suggested.

Very respectfully, yours,

Turning to her, ''Pete' gruffiy told her

the woman had departed, one

Granger emerged from his hiding place
and resumed his journey.
AS may be expected, he was terribly
frightened while he lay among the bush
es, and astonished at what he had
heard, and was very much in doubt as
to what was his proper course to pur-
sue He had dread of informing the
authorities, and kept his secret until
couple of weeks ago, when it became VA
bearable, and he went to the Rev.
Father Mahoney, pastor Of St. Johns
Church, Of this place, for advice, and
that gentleman informed him that his
duty was plain.-to lay whatever infor-
nation he possessed before the proper
officials. He then went to citizen of
the place and told his story. An afi-
davlt was made out and the Leonards,
as before stated, were arrested.

had served their time, he made over
the business to them conformity, and
founded the firm of Bumsted & Robin
son, builders, concern which soon be-
came one of the most important of it's
kind in Jersey City.
Besides the wealth accumulated in
the business, Bumsted specialized lit
tie in real estate, and with unvarying
success. He married, and purchased a
magnificent house at Ocean and Vir-
GINA avenues, where his family have
since lived. His father had less i'm
posing, but substantial dwelling simil-
arly situated on the opposite side of
Virginia avenue, and it was in this
house that William II. Bumsted
breathed his last.
About ten years ago the firm of Bum
stcd & Robinson was dissolved, and
from that time Mr.. Bumsted's downfall
may be dated. Not that in the politi-
cal arena into which he entered on his
retirement from business he was unsuc-
cessful, for through long period he
was pre-eminently fortunate and
amassed immense wealth, but the path
upon which he then entered was the
one which ultimately led him to his de-
struction. He soon became power in
the community, and obtaining the nomi-
nation for Alderman in Bergen. he was
elected by sweeping majority, He
served for three terms in Bergen City,
and when Bergen was consolidated with
old Jersey City he was elected to the
same Office, and filled it for more than
two years, after which he was made a
member of the board of public works,
and he speculated with continued sue
cess in real estate.
A ring was formed of which he was
the centre, and for long time Jersey
City groaned under exactions not dis
similar to those from which New York
suffered under Tweed's regime.
At length. in 1872, the Hudson coun-
ty grand jury found PIG indictments
against Bumsted, embracing malfcas-
ance in Office and conspiracy to defraud
the boards of fire commissioners, pub
lie works, and police. The case was
tried in June, 1872. 1t occupied several
days and excited intense interest
throughout New jersey. The jury re-
turned verdict Of guilty, and Bum
sted was sentenced to nine months in
the State Prison. He was not compelled
to wear the prison livery, and passed
his time pleasantly enough apparently.
His more fortunate brothers Of the ring
visited him frequently, and as the law
allowed five days reduction of time on
each month for good conduct, his actual
term of Imprisonment was but little
over seven months, mild punishment
enough, it was thought, for offenses so
fragrant as those of which he had been
convictcd-offenses but little less glar-
ing than those for which Mr.. Tweed was
afterwards sentenced to twenty years
imprisonment.
On Jan. 81, 1873, with his wife, he
quit the Jail at Trenton very quietly
and returned to his home in Jersey
City. His health had not suffered from
his imprisonment, but his political life
was, Of course, over. He lived unosten-
tatiously, attracting very little notice,
until four weeks ago he was stricken
with sickness which developed into
slow fever. On Saturday morning he
began to sink rapidly, and died early
yesterday morning.

A curious incident particularly inter-
csting to thieves lately occurred in
Paris. Probably Paris is the only city
in the world where just such novel
accident could happen. A thief enter
ed gentleman apartments one after
noon while the owner was out. The
intruder looked for money and jewelry
and found no goods of the description
he was after. Bat he did find nice
new suit Of clothes there-shirt and
drawers and stockings, and all just
ready to slip into, and there were no
other clothes lying round loose but just
this suit. He concluded il was left for
him. and resolved to wear it out and
leave his old ones. Accordingly he
stripped Of everything, and just at the
point of the perfect nudity be heard a
noise. He hastily rolled under the bed
to await events. Some one came into
the room and began Eummaging the
drawers or going over precisely the
same ground that he had, and
indeed for the same purpose, as after
ward appeared. In little while the
man left, and all being quiet the thief
crawled out from his hiding place. He
was both mortified and astonished to
find that the new suit Of clothes was
gone and his OWE too. He was m

ton long since extended beyond the
boundaries of Massachusetts died yes
terday at Newport, r. I. He was one
Of +he highest eholars in that famous
class Of 1899 whose achievements have
SO oftan been told in verse by Holmes;
and the maturity Of his character and
clearness Of has intellect were conspie-
uous even in those days. His state
merit of a case in the college societies
was ofsingn'ar force and perspicuity.
1t was hardly necessary to argue a
question aStcr he had stated it. He
graduated with high honors, and enter
edthe LawSchool, where his talents were
asoace ressgnized. He began practice in
Greenfield, and afterwards removed to
Boston, where he resided at the time
Of his death. He was member Of the
Corporation 81 Harvard College from
1S46 to 1851, when he was appointed to
the Supreme Bench. Mr. Curtis re-
signed his position on the Bench be-
cause he felt it necessary to provide for
his family. His law practice was one
Of the most lucrative in New England.
Though he stud;ously kept aloof from
politics he was the candidate Of the
Democrats in the memorable Senatorial
contest of last year, and no candidate
found q more unwavering support. He
was also . member Of the Commission

naked truth. The thief exclaimed that
he was not the robber, on the contrary
had been himself shalnefully robbed.
1t would not do; the thing was too
plain. The man parted with one of his
blankets to have the bare faced rogue
transferred to the police station. 1t
really does sometimes take one thief to
catch another.
