The object of the President IN with

ton is taken its nature will determine

not intend to allow a single Senator to

does not empower Senator to dictate to

MAN STEALING.

INSECURITY OF Lice AND PERSON IN
CENTRAL ASIA.
The London News correspondent in
Central ASIA writes from MuhammsA
dabad
"The insecurity of life and property
in this border territory is almost in
credible. I had previously heard a
good deal about 1t, but until came
Rere l could form no adequate idea of
the reality. One can scarce venture
above half q mile, in some cases not
even so far, from the fortified enoients
of one of the villages, or kalas, with
out risking capture by the seemingly
ever-present marauding Turcoman
bands. The Tekkss generally make
their descents with view of carrying
off cattle, horses and camels, but
human prisoners do not come amiss to
them. Still, systematic man-stealing
does not go on TO anything like the ex-
tent which prevailed previous to the
closing Of the slave markets of Khiva
ard Bokhara by the Russians. In a
Turcoman household slaves are not re-
quired, and men are only carried off
with view to holding them TO ran
som. This, however, Is not nowadays
very paying speculation. The bor-
der peasants are not rich, and q con-
siderable time may elapse before even
a small sum is offered for their release
by family or friends. Meantime, they
may have cost their captors more than
the amount to feed them, and they are
entirely useless as shepherds, the
smallness of the distance separating
them from home, and the facilities for
escape being 30 great that they must
be kept in confinement and heavily
chained.
Very often, though, when the Kurds
have made numerous prisoners, the
Turcomans Aweop away number of
Dsrguszli, with view TO exchanging
them against their friends. There are
At present here In Muhammedabad halt
q dozen Turcomans, captured at differ
ent periods, and awaiting redemption by
their friends. They are all heavily
ironed, each having an iron collar
around his neck, and hoop OF the same
mat rial encireling his waist. From
both depend chains with links foot
long, like those Of French galley slaves,
and attached TO the waists and ankles.
These irons are worn night and day.
One OF the prisoners, q stalwart young
man, has been In captivity over two
years, and though but thirty tomans
(Gt2) are asked for his ransom, none

ain connection with these captives a
horrid affair took place here some days
ago. Among freshly-captured batch
was one who had been very badly weun-
ded IN the ARRAY. When brought here he
was looked after pretty we'll, but at
length 1t was evident that his life could
not be saved. The Governor was send
ing in the heads Of some Turcomans to
Meshed, and his messengers were about
starting. As the wounded Tureoman

A DELAWAREAN TAKEN IN By
PHILADELPHIA SHARPERs.


PHILADELPHIA sHARPERS.
Patrick Judge and George Doug
lass, who own stable at No. 814
Noble street, Philadelphia, in which
they keep q dilapidated old dun
mare, are now in the clutches Of the
law, for swindling countrymen by
the "gyp game" Their favorite
plan was to induce the victims, by
misrepresentation, to buy the old
mare, and, when the buyer discover
ed her many dement's, to buy her
back again for one-half, and give a
worthless note for part of the sec.
0nd purchase money.
Last Wednesday, Leonard K.
Yates, of Cecil County, Md, was
thus victimized, thoughihe only lost
five dollars, having bought the mare
for $35 and sold her back for $50,
under threat of prosecuting the
swindlers. Next day, Douglass, the
accomplice of Judge, found a farmer

aware. Draper and his son had
come to the city to buy horses
They were induced to 60 with Doug
lass to the Noble street "plant, !"
where Judge sold him the old dun
mare and a bay horse, both fearful
ly wind broken and not worth $40
each, for 800. Draper paid over
the money, took guarantee" that
they were sound and would work in
both single and double harness and
took charge of his nswly-acquired
property. No sooner had he got
them outside than their shortscom-
ings were demonstrated to him and
he wanted his money back. AS us
ual, the "other party" appeared on
the scene and offered to buy the
team back from him for $25 cash and
his note at thirty days for S75. The
farmer agreed and The party drew
up a note without any date to it
whatever. When he came to pay
ever the $25 cash he changed his
mind and would not pay more than
$40. The farmer would not have
this and went away to get warrant
for the arrest of the whole lot. This
transaction took place in the saloon
kept by the Hamilton and woman,
who had vouched for the integrity OF
the "gyp" men. While the farmer
was gone he left his son behind him,
a young man whose chief valuable
was silver watch. One of the gang
pulled the watch out of his pocket,
deliberately took it from him and
said he would give him So for it.
The young man said he wanted SO.
The thief threw down 80 and said
that was all he would get from him.
He then disappeared with the watch.
Another thief now came up and
agreed with the young man that if
he would give him the 81 he would
go and get his watch back. The
young man turned the money over
to HIM, when he, too, disappeared,
and that is the last he saw of the
watch or nancy. Since the informa-
ton was entered before Magistrate
Lukens against Judge s. Co., that
official succeeded in recovering the
watch, though he has not yet sue
ceeded in capturing the thief.
On Friday the old mare was sold
to Bucks county man, who had
the swindlers arrested and bound
over tor court.

A Tale OF Horrors.

A young lawyer won and married a bride
that was the obi act of her parents refined
and devoted love, and the favorite of all the
circle of her numerous friends. A beauti-
full cottage, elegantly located, and beauti-
fully furnished by her parents, was the
happy home Of this favorite pair. Several
years glided by, and the husband began to
ply the sparkling glass. Warnings from
the Bible, entreaties from his devoted part
ner, and the solemn pleadings of his friends,
could not arrest his downward course. One
fierce wintry night he came home reeling
through the snow, aud found his wife in a
miserable, cold room, an invalid, trying to
keep two babes warm. The drunken mad
man swore he would soon have it warm
enough. Midnight came; the tempest had
increased the elements were in fierce con-
flct, and the raging fend in human form
was within. How he fred his home will
never be known. Madmen care for moth
ing. The flames, famed by the winds,
drove out the wife, bearing her daIlings, to
face that awful tempest. A quarter of a
mile off stands the nearest house. Soon ex-
with her helpless babes clinging to their
mother. But a few minutes suffced to re-
duce their home 10 ashes. In the morning
the sobered author of this ruin, with the pa
rents and friends, was searching under snow.
drifts for the lost ones. At length, wrapped
in a spotless winding sheet, they were
found. White as marble, the lovely fea-
lures of the mother disclosed frozen, silent
tears on her cheeks, and cherub forms
clasped in her arms.

time lost by the drunkenness of his men
that he started TO find a remedy, and de.

liquor dealers and the probable profit from
the sale of drink, and paid them $4,000 for
one year to have them conduct their hotels

only be obtained up to certain date, and
AS no one applied no licenses can be granted
for year. The manufacturing company
expect to do business of $3,0O0,000, and
calculate they can make handsome
profit out OF the $4,000 investment. II
