Frank James In Cincinnati.

A rumor gained credence in the city that
Frank James, the brother of the notorious
outlaw, Jesse James, who was killed by Bob
Ford, at st. Joseph, Mo, last week, had
parsed through the city on his way West,
and that he had bought a caeap-rate ticket
here.
After little hunting around the reporter
cornered MIR. G. III. Gentry in his "cut-rate"
Office, No. 20 Arcade. Mr.. GeLtry was at
first 10th to talk OF The matter, but, Oh b, ing
pressed made the following brief statement
81 am a native OF Missouri, and lived
there nearly all my life. L came here in
December last and opened a ticket office at
No. 20 Arcade. l had known the james
boys and their family for great many years,
but was never intimate with them. l read
early last week an account OF the shooting
at S., Joseph of jesse james, and this drew
strongly to my mind the faces of the various
members of the family.
Goa Thursday evening last man whom
at once recognized as Frank James, the elder
OF The two brothers, came into my Office and
asked for a cut rate first class ticket to st.
Louis. l knew 4be man well, but as he did
not seem to know me I did not introduce
myself. He said he had come from the Eaet
and wanted to go West quickly as posi-
bic. / cold him ticket TO st. Louis and he
started off, saying that he would not have
more than enough of time to catch the
train"
Reporter-Are YOU satisfied that the man
was Frank James?
Mr.. Gentry-Why, of course I am. l knew
him years ago, and l am positive in my
Identification of him.
"Why, then" asked the reporter, ibid you
not give him awayf"
simply" reptile Mr.. Gentry, at was none
of my business. He me in to me to buy,
the purchase was made and the money paid.
That settled it so far as / was concerned"
Reporter-Are you satisfied that it was
really Frank James?
Mr. Geutry-I am perfectly sure OF it.
Reporter-Did you not question the man
at all?
Mr.. Gentry-No, sir; l said nothing to
him, except about the price of the ticket.
Beporter-Did you think he knew or
recognized you?
Mr.. Gentry-That can't say. ii be did,
ne did not betray it by words or by his coun-
tenance.
Reperter-How oll is Frank?
Mr.. Gentry-IIe is between twenty-eight
and thirty years, and Jesse was perhaps two
years younger. They both looked, however,
as being ten years older than they really
re.
Mr.. Gentry, on being further questioned,
Frank was in r turnipg TO his home at the
preset time, but it looked to him as if mis-
chief was brewing. He said that Frank
had even more determination than Jesse, but
was slower in carrying out his plans.

FRANK JAMES,
The Notorious Outlaw, TSrns Up in Nash.
vile Previous to His Appearance In
Memphis, and In
Cincinnati After-In the Former City
He Passes 0fTas a Detective, and Has
His Hair Dyed Red.

The Nashville American, of Friday, states
that about two weeks ago a man entered the
Maxwell House barber shop, and approach
ing A. ID. Foster, one of the proprietors, said
he wanted his hair dyed red. The barber
manifested some surprise that he should
want his hair color that is 80 generally
disliked, but the man said he was a detec-
tive, and wanted TO make himself secure
from detection After events gave ground
for the belief that the man was none
other than Frank james, a brother
of the notorious Jesse James. James talked
freely TO the barber, and when the subject of
the J ames brothers We mentioned, said tie
man who tried to take either one of them
would "get some Of this" pointing to pair
of large size, and had pearl handles. He
had about thirty loads of cartridges in his
belt, and he resented the appearance of a
walking arsenal. He said no man should
touch his pistols and live, and no m an should
even come in good distance of them.
He had his side whiskers shaved of,
leaving mis- face bare, with the
exception of a slight mustache. In paying
his bill he handed the barber bill, and re-
pretty we'll "heeled," his wallet being filled
with $500 bills. He took bath. Several
persons who saw him, among the number
bling DR.. Richard Cheathsm, health officer
of the city, say they believe the man was
undoubtedly Frank James. A photograph
of James was shown Foster last night by an
american reporter, and he said it was I'M
questionably the same man. He would
know the mans face anywhere, and it
was the image OF the face on the piece of
cardboard. Our Memphis special of to-day
states that Frank James was in that city last
Tuesday, and he was probably on his way
west when in this city. He ate two or three
meals at the Maxwell House, though it is
not known what name he used in register
ing, or whether he registered at all. He
remained in the city about a week, and it is
SAID made several visits to family en- South
Carroll street, who are said to be related TO

A GIGANTIC FRAUD.
An Extensive sWisdIe an the China
Trade UnearfSeJ al Boston.

Boston, April 10.-The Journal Gays the
outline of operations of an extensive swindle
in the China trade reached Boston this
morning, and the indications are gigantic
fraud is about to be exposed. The house
of Vogel & Co., of Hong Kong, does large
business in hemp, silk and other goods be-
tween China and America and Europe. Very
recently the English and French c)nsiguees
OF the firm received several cargoes of cheap
fourlh-rAte silks in plaoe of frst-class goods,
which had been ordered aud paid for.
Hardly had the investigation been begun
when the arrival of the ship r chard Robin
son in New York Saturday, with cargo from
the same house, exposed an extensive fraud
of the same nature. Several New York and
Boston firms received consgnments OF hemp,
as they supposed, by the vessel. The V had
sent letters OF credit and purchased through
banking houses, as is customary il the China
trade, large quantity of hemp, worth nearly
$50 per bale. On opening the cargo Satur-
day 1t was found 10 consist principally OF
Canton matter, worth less than So per bale.
Meantime steps TO apprehend the head of
the house at Hong Kong by means of cable,
and orders to arrest him resulted in the re-
ceipt Of dispatch saying he had sailed on
the last steamer probably for France
Detectives in the latter country en-
deavored to find him at the time he
was expected to arrive, but he has been
traced, it is believed, to Italy. His capture
is we'll nigh despaired of, although pursuit
is being made rapidly possible. The
silk shipped to Europe by Vogel & Co. is
worth not much more than $40 per bale. 1t
was paid for at the rate of nearly $500 per
bale The losses to the consignees of the
concern thus far reported amount 10 $780,
600. One Boston firm received 900 bales OF
so-called hemp by the Richard Robinson. 1t
was worth about oae-sixth OF the amount
paid. A thorough investigation of the affair
is being made aud a more definite statement
will soon be ready
