HOW KETcHAM CAUGHT 'EM-THR ATTEMPT

The In diana Banking Company received
dispatch on Thursday evening from the
agent of the British Bank OF North America,
in New York, advising it that if letter OF
credit, above number 15l, purporting
to be drawn by them, should be presented
for payment TO arrest and hold the party
presenting it for forgery. Yesterdsy about
noon Tier ana iocssihg and very gen
teelv dressed stranger presented at the
counter of the Banking Company just such
a document, mum ber 109, as the dispatch of
the previous evening described-s letter OF
credit fer So 600. purpOrting on its face to be
drawn by the British Bank of North Amer
lea, in favor of one Henry Sanders, and ad-
dressed to the Indiana Banking Company.
he stranger addressed himself to the as
sisIant cashier, Mr.. j. j.. ketcham, and said
he would like to draw 1000 and leave the
balance on deposit for day or two. Mr.
Ketcbam politely assented and handed him
a check to fill up and sign. In the mean
time Mr.. D3rke, the paying teller, had
taken the wink and

genial stranger had begun to ''smell
mice.n Mr.. Ketcham, having got the check,
had been skilfully entertaining him in the
meanwhile with polite diatribe upon the
cashiers negligence In mislsying certain
papers and moneys. AS soon as the officer
entered, Mr.. K. directed him to arrest the
forger, which he promptly did. The whole
job was put mp and executed in less than
five minutes. AS soon as the thief was
bagged, the Banking Company notified the
agent Of the British Bank OF North America
by telegraph of his capture, and received an
answer in due course TO hold him and they
would Immediately forward an affidavit and
other legal papers. Mr.. Sanders took the
whole matter very coolly indeed, neither
admitting nor denying anything. To one of
our leading legal luminaries of the Criminal
Court, who kindly proffered bim the assist
snce of his giant intellect, he quietly said.
"When want lawyer l will send for one."
Later In the afternoon he was brought be-
fore Mayor Caven and committed to the
county jail. upon the affidavit of Officer Nc
Kinney, who made the arrest. to await g
hearing upon a charge of forgery. Later a
writ of habeas corpus was issued by Judge
Perkins. and made returnsble to-day at

mitted suicide one day last week under
peculiar circumstances. Some two or
three years ago his wife died. and was
buried at Spring Grove, since which
time he has been very melancholy. That
morning he engaged a hack and drove to
Spring Grove. At the entrance he told
the driver to exercise the horses while
he visited the grave, but. not returning
after some time, the hackman searched
for him and found his body lying across
his wife's grave, with two empty Der
ringers beside it, he having shot him self
through the head. He left letter stat
ing he was not insane, but that the
deed was prompted by affection for his
dead wife, whom he wished to join in
the other world, and expressing the be-
lief that his wife would not have waited
a day had he died first.

SPAIN has offered to settle the Virgin
ius question on the same basis as that
allowed Great Britain, paying e500 for
the family of every white person killed,
and 9300 for each coiored family. This,
to be sure, is estimating human life at
pretty low figures: but it was not to the
sum that our Government objected.
The provision which could not be accept
ed was the discrimination on account of
race OF course such a proposition could
not be entertained by a Government
which recognizes no distinction between
black and white Some new basis of
settlement is now being sought, and it is
believed one will soon be reached.

THE sENATORsAIP.
A knowledge of the way the United
States Senatorial question is looked at,
is conclusive evidence that two parties
can feel perfectly assured of two sep
arate sides. In conversation with Gov.
Washburn, this afternoon, [ learned
that he is confident in superiority of
numbers. At the caucus held this
morning, it is claimed great strength
was shown, and the result is, JOY beams
in the eyes of the Washburnites.
On the other hand, as already stated,
the Carpenter men lay down their asser-
tions with the most astonishing fatness.
The Washburn party say it's merely a
game of "bluff," and the Carpenters
say, s'Just wait and see p The head
quarters for the latter are kept constant
ly open. as is also box of cigars, a
fact which is duly appreciated by the
loafers, who walk in, take a cigar with
as much GOODNESS as if they'd worked for
Carpenter for the last month, and stalk
out, to tell their contreres how to get a
cheap smoke.
