Edward S. Piper, the torger and a
criminal of most extended notorietY, died
one day last week, at Joliet, III. He was
for time resident of Newell, Iowa, and
other points in that section of the State,
and leaves several relatives in sNorth-
western Iowa. During the past fifteen
years he has been known under a number
of different aliases, am ong which were
0. B. Clark, E. B. Fancher, Frank Berdell,
Otis Gorgent, and A. NJ. Howe, and under
this last name he set himselfup as cotton.
broker in New Orleans, where he did a
lively business and finally so worked Upon
the confidence of the bankers, that he got
away with an immense amount of cash.
In England he worked several successful
games, but the detectives routed him from
there and he returned to the United States,
where he continued to practice his pet
scheme, which was to change figures Of
checks, raising their amounts. In 1861
he was arrested at Cleveland, but was set
| at liberty again and allowed to go on in his
| reckless career, until he was again over
, taken by justice; he cleared himself this
time by settling with the prosecutors. and
went on rejoicing. In '53 he got the start
Of the banks of Rutland, vt, to the tune of
$4,000, and IN '66 was arrested for this
deed, for which he was sent up for ten
years in the penitentiary; and in the early
part of 1876 was released, since which
time he has been engaged in agricultural
pursuits IN Northwestern Iowa, and was
thoroughly reformed. ,1s
~ Russell Jones, Collector of Customs
of Chicago, does not resign worth cent,
although informed by Secretary Sherman
that President Hayes desired him to re-
sign. Jones bases his refusal upon the
civil service reform that Hayes enforces
himself, quoting the Presidents letter of
acceptance, in which he says, "The found
ers Of the government want that public
4 officers should be secured in their tenure
of Office as long as their personal charac-
Ter remained untarnished and the duties
of their Office were fulfilled" And
Jones does not know why he is requested
to resign and made an exception to the
rule. 2
