THAT STOLEN PACKAGE.
The Treasury Thieves Locked Up
in Default of Bail.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-No time has
been fixed yet for the preliminary ex-
animation of persons arrested for the
larceny of the $4,000 package from
the Treasury Department. Ottman has
employed Richard 7. Merrick as coun-
sci, and an effort will be made to have
the bail reduced. but the authorities de-
mand heavy bonds. Gilman recently
made heavy deposit in the bank in Al
exandria. The officers have gone to Sc
cure the money. The employees in the
cash-rOOm of the Treasury Department
have been watched in all their move
ments since the robbery. The president
OF the Germania Savings Bank, of Alex
andria, where Gilman has Il special de-
post, had an interview to-day with
General Spinner and Treasurer New,
and has consented that the officers shall
examine the contents of the packages
left by Gilman. Gilman appeared to-
day before Judge SMELL and waived a
preliminary examination. The Judge,
after hearing the statement of the Dis
trlct Attorney, required bail in $40, 900,
in default Of which Ottman was commit
ted. The sealed package bearing OFT
mans name. which was deposited in
the Alexandria bank, having been open
ed, was found to contain twenty-nine
$500 bills. The package was taken to
Washington. The detectives expect to
recover $4,000 more to-day.
About $4,000 of the money stolen
from the treasury has been recovered.
This afternoon the Marshal seized the
property of Gilman, and closed his res
taurant. The whole amount taken will
probably be restored safely to the Treas
Iry.

Two Dutchmcn, who built and US
ed in common a small bridge Ovcr a
stream which ran through their
farms, had dispute concerning some
repairs which it required, ana one of
them positively refused to bear any
portion of the expense necessary to
the purchase of Il few planks. Final
ly the a@grievcd party went to a
neiehboring lawyer, and placing ten
dollars in his hand, said, 'Tll give
YOU all dish moneys if you'll make
Hans do justice nit the bridge"
How much will it cost to repairit?'
asked the honest lawyer. Not more
ash five tolIar." replied the Dutch
man. Every WELL" said the lawyer,
pocketing one of the notes and giving
him the other; ''takc this and 90 get
the bridge repaired; it is the best
course YOU can take" "IaaS," said
the Dutchman, sloWly-"yaas, dat ish
more better ash to quarrel nit
Hans" But as he went along home
he shook his head frequently, as if I'M
able, after all, to see quite clearly
how he had gained anything by going
to law"

A MAJ drew a note promising to
paw one hundred dollars. He used a
printed form. and did not close up
the blank devoted 10 dollars, and af-
ter passing as negotiable paper, some
body inserted land fifty" after the
one hundred and before the printed
dollars. The note thus altered got
into the hands Of al innocent party,
who presented it to the drawer, and
the Supreme Court decided that the
maker OF the note was liable for its
face because through negligence he
did not draw q line between the writ
ten word 'hundrcd" and the printed
word "dollars." ANY testimony that
the drawer might offer to establish
the fact that he gave the note for one
hundred dollars must go for nothing,
as there was nothing on the face OF
The note showing that it had been al
tered. Evidence of alteration Oh the
face of the note would have changed
the case. Let this be a lesson to all
drawers of promissory notes. No
one can be too careful in such mat
terS.

JUDGE PERsHTNG AT HoME.-A cores
pondent of the Reading Eagle at Pottsvirle.
writing in regard to Democratic prospects
in Schuylkill county, says:
Judge Pershing stands well i'm this com
munity, and it is confidently expected tha.
he will carry Schuylkill county by at least
$500 majority. Tou can't ask poor man
or wOrkingman i'm Judge Pershinc's
neighbOrhOod but who will tell you that he
is an honest man and warm friend of
him who earns his bread by the sweat of
his brow. The people in Pottsvile have
great faith in Pershing they believe in
him and trust in him and further they
are going to support him 70: Governor.
Some gentlemen in high standing and
who are supposed to know something about
politics, think his majority in the State
will reach %, 900 votes.
| was talking to representative miner
about Gov. Hartranft, when the gentleman
said that there was no use in him expect
ing any support from them. The men
were not outspoken as general thing, but
they will vote against him, as they say he
had no right or cause to treat men who
were struggling for their rights i'm such a
disgraceful manner by menac;ng them with
armed troops from all parts of the State.
This is the general feeling among the mi
ners, and they will vote against Hartranft.

THE election in Ohio on Tuesday
last resulted in the success of the Re-
publican State ticket by maiOrities
ranging from six to ten thousand, the
majority for HAYES, the Republican
candidate for Governor, over ALLEN
being estimated at the latter figure
The field was stubbornly contested by
both parties, and although q Demo-
cratic victory was hoped for, it was
not possible for various well known
reasons. From 1855 upto the election
of Allen as Governor in 1874 by the
meagre majority Of SI7, period of
eighteen years, the Democratic party
only carried the State once, viz: in
1862, when it succeeded in electinu its
candidate for Secretary of State All
the other elections were uniform Re-
publican triumphs. This being so.
:he success of the Democratic ticket
last Tuesday was simply matter of
political impossipilitv, and the result
must not discourage any Democrat in
this State from his whole duty at the
election two weeks from next Tuesday.
The Ohio Democracy, in addition to
all this, had local difficulties to con-
tend with I'm their own ranks With
which their brctheFn in Pennsylvania
are not embarrassed. All the political
signs point to the election OF Pershing
and Piollet, and they will be trium-
phantly elected If every Democrat
discharges his full duty In Iowa the
election on the same day resulted rs n
matter of course in the success of the
Radical State ticket by about 10000
majority. No man outside of.a lima
tic asylum looked for anything else
1t was simply the old story of the
Dutch taking Holland.
s. Since the foregoing article was
written and put in type, the situation
has been materially changed by the
very latest news brought by the Pitts
burgh papers of to-day Thursday.
The result In the State is of course
rot definitely known. but the Demo-
rats claim that ALLEN is not defeated
" more than 1900. If he is defeated

THE TRUE ISsUE.-The true issue. after
all, in Pennsylvania, is honesty in the ad-
miniStration of State affairs against the
public robbery of the Cameron-Mackey
Ring. What we want is o stop the steal
ing of the money of the Commonwealth.
We can only do that by turning thieves out
of Office and putting honest men in their
places.
Cyrus L. Pershing is the terror of the
Ring and of all the public robbers in the
State. He gave them a sample of his stern,
unbending justice wien he sent the three
peculating Commissioners of Schuylkill
county to the penitentiary. The Treasury
thieves know that his election means not
only no more stealing, but public prosecu-
tions of criminals in high places, convic-
tions, imprisonments and restitution. -
They knew that when one of these public
robbers gets into prison no question Of
party policy, as in the case of Yerkes. can
get him out. He will make stealing odious
and unprofitablc. The Ring doesn't want
a Governor like Pershing. They prefer a
man who was, according to Forney, Joint
operator with GerkeS in stocks.
Victor T.. Piollet suits them still less.
That honest old Granger is as firm as the
adamantine hills. He calls a spade a spade,
and with him theft is theft AS Treas
urer of the State, and with the workingmcn
OF PcnnSylvanla at his back, he would make
sharp work Of the rascals who have brought
reproach upon the Common wealth. They
don't want Piollet. But the people want
Cyrus l.. Pershing for Governor and Victor
f. Piolet for. State Treasurer, and they
will have them both. Let every Democrat
and Liberal Republican go to work, and it
is not so much a question Of electing these
honest men, as it is whether their majority
shall be ten thousand or fifty thousand.
Push on the column. Tenango Spectator.
