An Amateur Confidence Man.

The game of confidence is one that
requires consumate skill in the play
ers. The amateurs career is checker
ed with many vicissitudes, and leads
dangerously near the edge of a bottom
less chasm. Every nerve must be
tense, every step taken with the ut
most caution, or ruin encompasses
him. A man was taken in this norm
ing, and is now in the lookup, who is
Just commencing in the cagse as the
bungling manner In which he fixed
up his job goes to show. To make
the matter worse, he went right
to the head of the govern.
ment to play his first prank.
A clerk at Porter, Taylor & Co. S
was called to one side by a country
looking fellow, who handed him a
Louisville and Nashville way.bill for
eight bales Of cotton and said he
wanted to draw City dollars on it. The
bill was a forgery on the face Of it. In
the first place, 1t was written in a mis-.
cradle, cramped hand, contrasting
enough with the bold, free hand of the
genial freight Office clerk. Again. the
weight Of each bale was marked dawr
on the bill, which is never done b,
the railroads, as they would be made
responsible for such weight. The
consignor was put down as G. T. Page
Bonds station, a name and place with
which the house has no dealing. TIL,
mild eye Of the clerk was sufficient to
see through this, aud he asked til,
mans name, which was given al
G. T. Page. The telephone nov
game into good use. The clerl
stepped to the instrument, and wa
aboBt to address the depot officials
when the man suddenly discovered
that he was in a hurry, and saying h,
could not wait started off. TIL
freight agent was telephoned.any wa,
and returned answer that they knew

LEAVENwoRTH, KAN, January q.
The first installment Of colored
refugees from the South arrived here
this morning. They came from Mon
roe parish, La. There are forty Of
them, principally old men, women and
children. Very few of them are able
bodied men, but they all express a
willingness TO work at anything they
a get to do. They are all in desti-
tute circumstances, and are wholly de-
pendent on the charity of people among
whom they have landed people
taxed to provide food, clothing and
shelter for hundreds of helpless refu-
gees who came here last fall. Leav-
enw0rth already has over 1000 blacks
in a total population Of 10000, and
many Of them are only able TO keep
themselves alive by pilfering and beg
ging. 1t is extremely cruel to these
poor creatures to send them in crowds
to this country at this season Of the
year, when the comparatively well-to.
do colored people have all they can do
to keep themselves comfortable.
When the newcomers were unloaded
from the cars, cold, hungry and half
naked, they tried to shelter them
selves from the piercing north winds
by hugging together on the leeward
side Of the depot, and al they sat
shiyering in their rags, they presented
a very pitiable spectacle. A number
af charitable persons at once went to
work TO provide for their immediate
wants, aud nearly all Of them are now
temporarily cared for.

A jury had the case of Isaiah Jones
under consideration at noon to-day,

dark.
The grand jury came before Judge
Horrigan at noon to-day, and reported
that they had adjourned until Tues
day next. They handed in a number
of Indictments out the parties being
at large no name can be made public
for the present.
The storehouse of Williford & Bro.
at Raleigh, with the goods therein,
worth perhaps $1,000, were attached
this forenoon in the interest of J.. j.

branch house of WilIiford & Auder-
son.

The Trouble increases.

Mr., G.. Mason Lane, who caused de-
famatory hand bills TO be distributed,
abusing Mr.. A. j. Harris on night
before last, is held in custody, and at
noon to-day was sitting in the Crimi-
nal Court room in charge of an officer.
His father is looking about and max
ing an effort to give a satisfactory
bond. Late last night, the officer in
whose charge Lane was, accepted a
temporary bond, which Judge Horri-
gan this forenoon deemed
insufficient, and directed that
Mason be held until the
bond is suitably strengthened. The
trouble all arose about $3.50 wor.h
of cash which went Of mysteriously
from a bureau drawer az the residence
Of Mr.. James Harris, ten miles out
the Pigeon Roost road, one day last
summer. Mr.. Lane and a friend nam
ed Brooks Wilson, now deceased
gtaid all night at the house,
and it vas intimated had some
thing to do with tie loss. There
was sl4 in the bureau and $1.5O Of the
amount was not taken. The grand
jury will have witnesses before them
next week to tell what they know
about this part Of the trouble, and il
the mean timc MT. LANG must give
a bond equal to about $40
to keep the peace, and also t
answer for uttering the slanderoui

The theater last night was attend
ed by another we'll pleased au-
dience, Annie Pixley, the charm
ing soubrette, acting with the
same success that marked her
first appearance. The sprightly lady
frolics about the stage in her part of
"M'liss' in the most delightful man
ner, and succeeds in making fun
enough to keep everybody in uproar-
GUS humor. She pictures the hoyden-
ish wait of the mountains so naturally
that her auditors invariably pro-
nOunce her a true artist. Her songs
are good and contribute much to her
success. The supporting troupe are
good in their respective roles, aud
they mimic we'll the wild, reckless
characters that settled in California
between twenty and thirty years ago.
The play will be repeated tonight and
again tomorrow afternoon.
AN ART EXHIBITION.
A committee of the Tennessee club
members are busying themselves in
collecting from numerous of our citi-
zens of taste and culture their finest
paintings, statuary and works of art,
with a view of arranging them for ex-
hibition at the parlors Of the club on
the south side of Court Square.
1t is Iexpected that the
collection will be in place by Monday
next, after which the ladies of the
city, together with visiting friends of
the members Of the club, are to be in
vited to inspect and admire, It is
said that the rooms will be open to
lady visitors on several days pre-
vious to Ash Wednesday, and
That strangers visiting the city
will be invited to review the
exhibition from Monday next to
the night Of Mardi Gras, The com
mittee have been quite successful in
their labors up to the present time,
and a much larger and finer display
than many would have expected will
be in readiness by the date mentioned.
Numerous gentlemen among the clubs
members possess refined and highly
cultivated tastes, and they have inter
ested themselves in this matter, be-
lieving it will be appreciated and ad-
mired be the many expected here dur
ing the next ten days.
