BOLD HIGHWAYMEN.
They GarrOte an Old Man on Julia
Street and Rob Him of a
$500 Diamond Pin.

About 7:30 o'clock Tuesday evening two
men called at the store of Mr.. Solomon
Schwab. an elderly gentleman, doing business
at the corner of Rampant and Jalia streets
and requested him to bring some under
clothing to their room in the neighborhood
for the purpose, as they stated; of trying OF
the garments, and if suitable, they would pur
chase what they had picked out The ole
man, Immediately after they had left the
place, anxious to sell his goods, packed up 6
lot of under-clothing and started for the room
of the men on Julia street, thinking they were
gentlemen and intended to make purchase.
On arriving at the corner of Julia and Ba.
rome streets, two men, who are supposed to
be Italians, came out of the oyster saloon at
the corner and followed him up.
When he reached the middle of the block
on Julia street, between Baronne and Caron-
delet, the two men whom he had noticed
walking after him out of the oyster saloon,
closed up on the old man and showed him into
an alleyway opposite to where they seized
him. and robbed him of diamond pin worth
$500, that he wore in his shirt bosom. In
men tore the entire bosom out of his shirt.
Mr.. Schwab, who is IS years old, was to )
feeble to ctfer any resistance to this bold at.
tack by two young men who held on to him,
but he called for help.
The ruffians instructed him not to open his
mouth, and the moment he began to scream
for help one Of the men placed his hand over
his mouth and held him while the other par.
ties tore the diamond pin out of his shirt
bosom. As soon as they bad finished their
nefarious work they struck him and ran out of
the alley way and.succeeded in making good
their escape.
The old gentleman came to in few min
utes after he was robbed, and called at the
Central Station and informed the police of
what had just taken place.
This is one of the boldest robberies that has
occurred in this city for some time past, and
it is hoped that the police will use their utmost
exertions in recovering the property and ar
resting the guilty parties

COTTON PICKING.
The Grand Jury at Work in the
Field.

The Circuit Courtroom was we'll filled
Tuesday morning, and the interest Of the pub
lie in the recent Investigations seemed to be
on the increase.
When court opened, twenty grand jurymen
were in their seats. District Attorney Beck
with reported to the Court that Messrs. J. K.
and N. E. Bailey had not appeared. although
summoned before the Grand Jury, and he
asked that steps be taken to secure their At
tendance.
Judge Woods wanted to know whether the
service was personal or not, and was informed
that the subpenas had been left at their dom.
iciles for them. The Judge said he would
only move in the matter after personal service
had been made. New subpenas were then
drawn out and given to the Marshal.
The Grand Jury retired to their chambers
then and took up the consideration Of the Bel
locq- Noblom crooked cotton case, the first
witness being J. Adolph Bouchard, who went
through an extensive examination of his large
bundle of documents.
Theo. Valladre and P. Laberrie, from the
country, were subpenaed to follow him, as
they know considerable about the way bust.
ness was worked in the parishes.
In the District Attorney . Office there is still
an investigation of bankruptcy proceedings
going on.
Col Brooks and bis crusaders were in at
tendance at the Custon-House during the
morning, and it was limited that the day
would bring forth something important.
1t is intimated that the coming petit iury
will be drawn entirely from the country
parishes, as were the members of the PANEL
in st. Louis. Judge Woods has given special
instructions to the jury commissioners, and
it is supposed great care will be taken in their
selection, on account of the important cases
to come up.
In the afternoon Alex. Mckee, who was con-
nected with O'Brien's distillery, was brought
into court by deputy marshal under capias.
and released under 5000 bonds, Mortimer
Care signing as surety.
The Grand Jury during the day did NOT
finish the Bellocq- Noblom case; and in addi-
tion 70 Bouchard MessrA Bailey were only e..

PROFITS FROM THE WHISKY RING-THE GRAVE
STONE FRAUD.
lFrom an Occasional Correspondent of the Trib-
une.1
WASHINGTON, March 1O.-Gen.lemen here
from Keokuk say that the Belknsp exposures
burst there like bombshell. People were
not 80 much astonisned at what Mr.. Belknap
was doing, as that he was found out. They
had supposed him too firmly intrenched for
exposure or overthrow. Now that all lips
are unsealed, great many things are coming
ont. For example:
l. Some time ago Arthur Bridgman, son
OF Gen. Bridgman, one of the old citizens of
ksokuk, was appointed by the Secretary of
War to post leadership. He was absent
from Keokuk only about one month, when he
returned and resumed his duties in the bank.
II was soon reported that he had sold out his
appointment for $4,000. Gossip presently
reduced the sum to $4,000. It is now be-
lieved that be only realized 5000, and that
he paid the other $4,000 to some one in Wash
ingson. His associates in the bank and else
where remember that he had long private
tails with his father at the time, and that
since the explosion he is again greatly given
to these secret interviews. His father 1.-THE
GeneraD is greatly worried, but covers it up
by saying that "he has never felt so badly
about anything in which be has no personal
2 r. B. Ogden, of Keokuk, states that six
years ago Mr. Belknap told him that if he
would make bid for the War Department
stationery of the Wesehe should have the
contract Ogden adds that if he had made
the bid he should have divided the profits.
He is job printer.
