SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL


WASHINGTON, June 5.-There is a mys-
terry attached to the case of Brockway, the
forger, who was recently indicted and
brought to Washington last night. Guild,
Brockway's lawyer, arrived in this city
yesterday, and will insist that the Govern
ment carry out its original agreement with
his client, and release him. 1t is certain
that the Government did not procure
Brockway's indictment, and it is not
known who is behind some of the indi-
viduals who have appeared against him
here. There is no longer any doubt in
the minds Of the Treasury officials who
have investigated the bond forgeries, that
the plates were made from genuine dies
obtained from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. 1t is believed that the Gov
eminent is in possession OF much valua-
BILE information concerning the forgeries,
but the utmost secresy is maintained about
it. 1t is reported that S2S, 900, 900 Of
forged bonds, made from the impressions
obtained from the genuine plates, are in
| circulation, but this statement is denied
with as much pOsitiveness as it is made,
and from sources entitled TO as much con-
fdence. Sensational reports are also
afloat Of the issue of spurious silver GER
tifcates made from impressions of genuine
plates.
Mysterious DOings About The
Treasury.
CHICAGO, June Safeguarding the Doyle
case a Washington special says: Myste-
rious things are constantly happening.
Only a week ago the custodian of the
bureau (Bel) was dismissed for careless
ness in leaving two important dies out
side the safe when closing up time came.
Now, since Bell is out, he refuses to
talk about his case, and adds to the
mystery of his dismissal by apparently
being very well satisfied with his disgrace.
Upon the heels Of this came the mys-
terious poisoning Of Brooks, chief Of the
secret service, who one day last week
was taken violently i'll, with q number Of
the members of his family. An examin-
alton showed arsenic in a beef tongue
that was eaten by the family. Why
should Brooks be poisoned at a time
when rumors are plenty at the Treasury

in reserve to dictate their own terms,
while rumor Of other counterfeit issues
from Government transfer work are heard
constantly in official circles In all this
medley Of mystery and intrigue the case
of Doyle at Chicago is made to look very
small. Whether he gets out or not is now
regarded as of much consequence if the
Government can really get at the bottom
of the affair. One thing is certain, the
Treasury people will not be able to go on
much further without attracting the at
tention Of Congress. If it were not so
near the close of the session, when so
many interests are pressing to the front, a
resolution of inquiry would have been in
troduced and pushed for consideration. 1t
is believed that this week the Treasury
people will order Brockway and Smythe
released. II this is done the interest will
be concentrated upon q Treasury invest.

ED, FREEMAN: A day in St. Ma
rvs is interesting just now. The
whisky ring is trying to make mo
license" odious. Liquors are sold
in fragrant violation Of law. These
men are making dead set to de-
feat Maxwell for Commissioner, be-
cause he has heretofore refused IL
cense. If they should elect Will
Hanson and get license, they would
still violate the law just as much.
Let the temperance men be true,
and see to it that DR.. Maxwell is
elected and license refused as the
greatest curse of the State. Let the
FREEMAN come to the help of the
brethren up here. Mayor Town
send is solid against the traffic.
Lots of good Republicans about ST..
Marys will let Williamson alone
and vote for Maxwell, on the IL
cense issue alone. The people are
awake, and a dozen whisk Y men
in St Marys will find their noise
not so formidable as the ballots of
the people. St. Marys is beauti-
full town, and when this victory
over the struggling, dying curse is
complete, it will be more beautiful
still. TEEToTALER.

ANDERSON, w. VA, Sept. 80, 1882.
ED. FREEMAN In this weeks
issu of the Independent, Mr.. John
G. LobbIn comes out in a disgrace
ful article in which he. uses in true
saloon keepers style, "liar," and
'horse whip" very freely.
At the Ravenswood Temperance
Convention we pledged ourselves
not to vote for any man unless he
was all right on temperance. Mr..
Lobban is not temperance man
nor ever has been. | am opposed
to the election of such man, and
as | understand he has abused me
for such opposition, [ give you my
reasons for being opposed to him,
and also proof of the statements
which shall make:
l. When | first knew Mr. Lob
ban he was keeping bar-room and
post-ofiice in the same building,
contrary to the laws Of the United
States.
.. Petitions signed by the best
citizens Of this section, both la
dies and gentlemen, We're sent to
the Court asking that his license
be annulled. He said nobody but
the scam of the earth signed the pc
titlons.
3. A prominent gentleman and
liquor man told me that Mr.. Lob
ban assured him that if he (the
liquor MANI would work for his
nomination he, Uobban), would, if
elected, favor his business-the liq-
uor traffic.
4 Mr. [ohban acknowledged in
t.io preoeEce of our Postmaster and
three other gentlemen that he is
opposed to Prohibition.
5. Mr.. Green Johnson, a reliable
Christian gentleman and carpen-
ter by trade, told me that as he
was working at the hotel on the
day of the Convention, he saw Mr..
Lobban take nine members at one
time, seven at another and four at
another, into the bar-room and
treat them. Another responsible
gentleman told me that after the
bar was closed that day, Mr.. Lobban
took persons to a room where he
had jug of liquor.
6. 1t is almost daily occurrence
to see Mr.. Lobban in the billiard
rom, playing pool, sometimes for
the drinks, other times "just for
the fun o. it,"
These are my reasons foropposing
the election of Mr.. Lobban, and l
give You below the names of TWEEN
ty reliable gentlemen to substan-
tiate what | have stated, and l can
give you other names if necessary.
I am working for the election of
Mr. James Mann, a model Christian
temperance gentleman. | feel it
my duty to state my objections SO
the temperance citizens of this
Eighth Senatorial District who do
MT know of these things, can vote
intclligently. Do you not think
these reasons sufficient?

Railroad Freight.

The following car load of railroad
news was shipped in the Northern
Mail, from Oscoda county, and is de-
livered to our readers in good order
and condition, as a fact, the dangers
of the road not being built excepted,
as well as risks from financial disas-
tiers and other unexpected events. In
witness whereof, we affirm to several
hundred bills of lading of like tenor
Just one year and a month ago the
Mail commented on our railroad pros
poets in so. truly prophetic a manner
that we repeat the following extract:
1t is our opinion that if the NJ. C. does
not run branch through this way to Al
pena, the Stanton and Alpena railroad will
be built. There is a wide stretch of coun-
try between the Mackinaw division and
Lake Huron which is being settled faster
than any other portion of the State, and il
is bound to have railroad.
Six months after, the +. q PEN
took active steps to secure route to
West Branch from the southwest, os-
tensibly for numbering purposes, but
the excuse seems "to thin" when we
recollect that the country through
which they will pass is cut up by lit
tie logging railways which answer the
purpose very well, and the f. & p. M.
could buy half a dozen of them if it
wanted to. Instead of this, it is TAX
ing bee line for the objective point,
and actually buying right of way.
But the M. G. will not sit idle and al
low this company to cross its line and
open up the whole eastern half of
northern Michigan, and as has been
well known, and the M. c. has its
weather eye upon Alpena, and engin-
GERS are looking over the ground.
The following can now be set down as
solid facts:
1. The M. c. means business in
this direction.
2. The road will be actually bull
into and through Oscoda county inside
OF two years.
3. 1t is certain to cross the Au Sa-
bic river somewhere in range east.
Of course nobody can tell to a nice
ty the exact route to be chosen, but
when the road is built, the best route
will be found. 1t is at least seem
ing purpose of the company to reach
as much pine timber as possible, and
if it is best thought to run the main
line within reach of the tract of tim
Der in 25-3 and a, the road will cross
the river near the east side of range
3, but on account of the rough and
broken character of the ground in
the southern portion, it is thought by
some well acquainted with the coun-
try, that a branch will be run into
this pine, and the line will be run a

Communication.

Mr.. EDIToR.-I noticed some
time since an article in the Detroit
Post and Tribune, stating that there
was a effort being made to merge the
present Life Saving Service into, and
make it a part of the Navy Depart
ment. Now, after thinking the mat
ter over, and talking with others
about it, | believe that if this effort is
successful, that the efficiency of the
service will not be improved, and that
much injustice will be done.
Look at the condition of the SER
vice in 1871, when Sumner /. Kim
ball took charge of the revenue ma
rine department. The buildings were
found neglected and delapidated, the
apparatus rusty or broken, portable
articles had been carried off, the sal
aried keepers often living at dis
lance from their ports, some of them
too old for service, others incompe-
tent, and the volunteer crews in a
quarrelsome temper with each other
and with the people.
In the face of these discourage
ments, with slender appropriations,
this one man, the chief of bureau,
pushed on by philanthropic impulses,
and guided by unerring judgments,
brought complete and orderly sys-
tenn into effect. In 1874, the service
was extended so as to include the
lakes, and in June, 1878, the institu-
ton was elevated to its proper rank
as a separate establishment, instead
of branch of the revenue marine,
and Mr.. Kimball was unanimously
confirmed as General Superintendent.
Under this arrangement the keepers
are selected for their efficiency and
capability, and each man of the crew
has the incentive of promotion to
urge him to qualify himself and to
become master of all the details OF
the service, but with this service once
merged into the Navy Department,
what chance will there be for one OF
the crew to rise? We know too well
how such matters are arranged in that
department. Take away this incen-
tive and the crews will become mere
machines, doing what they are order
ed to do and no more. There will Of
course be exceptions to this rule, but
where the reward is simply from 2S
to "a dollars month, and no hope Of
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1882-12-27

promotion, the best men will drop of
and seek other business where they
can hope for more.
When the question of the efficiency
of the Life Saving Service, one OF
the most important of all the depart
ments, is at stake, it should be care
fully considered, and any change
should bo carefully made, if made
at all. | have investigated this sub
ject carefully, have visited many sta
tions, have conversed with those who
are acquainted with the service and
its efficiency, and l have not as yet
found single person who was in ia
vor of the proposed change, and | be-
lieve that but echo the sentiment Of
ninc-tenths of the shore population
when | say that | hope no change
will be made.

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1882-12-27

The Electric Light Co. offered the
Council, last night, 20 electric lights
at 500 per light-to be used 245
nights in the year, and to be shut
down at II o'clock at night. A pri-
vate citizen pays 800 per lamp for
800 days. Council thought the Elec-
trio Co. were asking a larger price
from city than from private citizens,
and refused the offer at 800 per light.
Council then asked for price for run
hing ten lights all night and ten lights
till II o'clock at night. The cost was
given at sl35 per light for all night
lamps, and 1925 per lamp for those
shut down at II o'clock-making
$4,000 as the cost for the year. Elec-
trio company then withdrew, and the
Council, after considerable discussion,
passed resolution offering to take 20
electric lights, provided the company
will furnish them for the same price
that they are furnished to private in
dividuals. If the Council can not
make a reasonable bargain for the
twenty lights on account of many of
them being situated considerable dis
lance from the circuit, why not make
contract for less number of lights,
for the business portion of the city
say ten lamps till II o'clock at night :?
Being in the circuit, the company
ought to be able to furnish the ten
lamps for S65 days for less than 500
per light. This would about use the
1000 appropriated, and if the tax
payers were willing to be taxed still
further, more lights could be added in
the future. The Mayor and Alder
men were all in favor of the light,
but objected to the terms offered by
the company, and for this reason the
Mayor gave the casting vote against
the 500 per light plan. The vote
was: Yes-Aldermen Spratt, Hayes
and Donnelly: Nays-Aldermen Geb-
hardt, Beck, Sheahy and the Mayor
they believing that the company
desired more from the city than from
private citizens.
