About tho smyrna MAN, who get
In Trouble In England.
Pnila. Press Of \ esterday:
About the most distinguished crimi-
nal Of home growth who figures in the
collection in the Rogues Gallery Is Will
liam Ringgold Cooper. now serving
Ave. years sentence In England for for
gerry. In the picture he appears in the
uniform ofa naval paymastsr's clerk.
There is nothing in his face or features
to indicate the nerve OF daring which
he exhibits sftervard. Born in Smyr-
ns, Del, he spent his life until man
ood principally in this city. There is
no record that he came at cross pur
posses with the Law during thstperiod.
Enlisting in the navy, he was made
warrant stall officer as paymaster's 3
clerk, and In that capacity learned the
routine of naval accounts, which he
turned to acco unit atterwsrd in forgery.
Appointed to clerkship in the Navy
Department, he forged the names Of
Paymsstsrs Spslding and Clark TO re-
q nisitlons for respectively SIS, 900 and
800, 600. He obtained portions Of the
money, was actually married to the
daughter of q distinguished member Of
the District Of Columbia Government,
but was arrested while entering the
cars on his wedding tour. He vas
tried, con Victed. and served five years
sentence in Moysmensing Prison. On
release he went to New Orleans, obtain
ed employment, and was soon
sent ss the trusted agent OF
his employers to Columbus. Miss.
Be tried the religious doige and
married q rich widow who had been
attracted by his piety. BY series OF
Ishrewdly concerted plans ne contriv-
ed to detsin mail and forged draft
on Mobile bank TO the order OF q
name assumed by himself, but was ar
rested after part OF the money had beeD
paid aud returned to Columbus for trial
His faithful wife became his bondsman
at the sacrifice. of her estate and esey
escaped together to California. Coop
er's pleasing manners charmed his
way into the employ OF wealthy olti.
zen named Treadwell, who trusted him
so implicitly that when ill.health com
yelled him to journey East he trusted
his employee with various securities
representing his wealth amounting to
nearly 800, 600.
Treadwell had hardly started East
before Cooper began to sell the secnr
tiles before suspicious circumstances
led to communication with the owner
and CoOper's exposure. He, however,
had made his escape and was not
heard Of until two years after, when
his name was connected with q series
OF daring and glsring forgeries. At the
time Of his last detection he was living
IS a gentleman Of means in the neigh
borhood Of London. Dining and wining
hunting and shooting with the local
landowners which brought him hosts OF
friends. The police had long been
bsftlsd 10 detect the perpetrstor Of
series Of forgeries in which his daily
associates were the loser3. At last
forged check for $4,000 which he had
cashed was brought home to him,
although he had operated under many
sGuises, and be was then identified
asan American convict and mRlefacto-.
Hence, fve years in Bnglish prison
included.

ATfue STATEN Ems.

For the Republican
dKssRs. EDIroRs;-In youc issue Of
Saturday there was an article about
some trouble at 203 Jefferson street
which in some respects was incorrect.
Tue following is true st-t ment !:
Some time ago Mr.. Wiser and myself
bought from the Delaware Loan Asso-
citation the house referred to formerly
owned by the Cornell family, and We
we're to have possession of 1t on the
25th instant. On that day Mr.. Wise r
went and asked for the Key, but the
Cornells sfusei to give it up. We th, n
went to tue President OF the Loan
Association, who sent Constable Dillon
to open the house and give US posses
sion. After We we're in the house, /.
V. Cornell came in the back way and
remained until the CoDstable wen,
away, when he was joined by John
Cornell, and the two, after talking
awhile, went to the front door and tried
to lock it. Then Mr.. Wiser interfsred
and tried to put them away, and | tried
to separate them, when was struck
After some more trouble we succeeded
in putting them ont, when Quot Mr.
Wiser) went to the Squire's Office ant
had warrants issued for their arrest
John Cornell was arrested for assault
and battery and |. V. Cornell for tress
passing. Every window in the hous,
was nailed up tight, but the throwing
of the furniture ont Of the house wa
incorrect, as We had none in the hous
| to throw out at the time Of the disturb

For the Republican,
MasaRs. EDtrJEs Judge Hawkins
latest decision is that any member OF
the City Council that in any way allow
ed himself 10 give countepance to the
reception given the Legislature on
their visit TO Inspect our public schools
ard iadge for themselves whether we
needed more school houses to accOmmo-
date the constant demand for seats
which the Board Of Educst on are not
able to supply, and to See the misera
bic excuse for school house the color
cd people have over Third street bridge
not only perjured but forever Disgrace
themselves. On, John Wesley, you
must have had fearful nightmare!
would advise you TO soak your feet at
the new water works, bathe your head
in legislative whiskey and retire for
you are surely not we'll enough TO re-.
sums the Bench yet.
Mr.. Hawkins further says: "For
members o. Council to 60 gsddiDg
around with set OF men that come
very near being loaters is ridiculous"
Wsll, Judge, do you think such men ss
tho Hon. John W. Hall, Representa-
ttves Bastburn, ,Swayne and Townsend
and Senators Rust, Harrington and
many others who J cannot now recall
come Very near heing loaterA?
| would advise the L9vy Court t
employ the Hon J. W, as their attorney
as he seems willing to give advice free
and his salary could be saved snG
turned over to the school fund to re
place the amount taken by the per urec
wrstchss and squandered for carrisg
hire, and in this way be could in
mann er return TO the "poor children
what had been stolen from them.

FiRhituk his Sin adow.

A nigh: or two ago son OF U. s.
Marshall Davis, who was recently
married, and had that day moved into
neS house al Ssndusky, o.. arose in
the dead of night and was startled at
the sight Of burglar just discernAble
across the room in the dim lieht. He
called his wife, aud was horrifed to see
another burglar come in sight as she
sprang out Of bed. He was defencless,
but seizing his boot, he advanced on
the burglars, who imprudsntly stood
their ground. He struck at them with
all his might. There was a crash, and
large new mirror was broken to frag-
ments. The burglars we're the reAec-
tions Of himself and wife.
