REID, THE HUSTLER.
Robs Reeds Hotel and Evsdes the Po-
liee--Gets Married and Goes West.

For some time past a young man
namedF. Stanley Reid has been doing
the heavy work at Reeds hotel in this
city,. He was very accommodating,
and proved avery good porter. One
night last week he borrowed about
$500 worth Of property belonging
to guests and to the hotel, with which
he skipped out without leaving his
address. In a few days a letter came
to Postmaster Poteet telling him to
send his mail to Kansas City. Renfro
Gibbs and Woodward went at once to
Kansas City to catch the thief, think
ing all the time what a fool Reid was
to write and give his address. 1T
turned out that Reid was much sharper
than thought for. He did not 90 to
Kansas City at all, and wrote the let
ter to George Poteet to throw the
police off the track. From a private
letter we learn that Reid went to
Champaign, ILL.,, where he married a
chambermaid at n of the hotels, and
then went to Chicago on a bridal trip.
LATER.-Reid was captured Sunday
morning last at Champaign, ILL.,, and
is now in Jail at this place. He has
confessed his guilt, and said he had
sold both the gun and coat. The
coat was worth $50, and the gun $3.50.
He sold the coat to an actor with the
Fred Ward combination at Hannibal,
and the gun to a man at Clapper Sta
ton, Mo. The chances are the gun
will be recovered.

BLISS BLISTERED.

The Interview That Led to the Removal
of Marshal Henry-A Caustic Estimate
of the Charac,er of Bliss.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 26.-The interview re-
ferred to in the letters of Attorney Cen
eral Brewster and District Attorney Bliss
as sufficient cause for the removal of
Marshal G. e. Henry, first appeared in the
Youngstown Ne,rs- Register, June 8, is as
follows:
''What is there in the statement made by
Bliss, that you had been subjected to the
influence of John W. Dorsey, and had
made promises not to push vigorously the
star route cases against hlm?'
Marshal Henry answered: .Not even
the substance of shadow. l understand
that Bliss says that while the jury was being
drawn in the star route cases, Dorsey
called at my Office and remained several
hours, and that while there he extracted
from me promise that would favor
him and not use active measures in assist
ing the prosecution. The only time Dor
sey was ever in my Office was one day
when he called and asked me for match
to light a cigar. The deputy in tho
room, that Dorsey entered arose, and
securing box of matches, tore off the
stamp and handed the boz to him. Dor
ssy said: Il guess I'll take three or four"
The deputy replied: you can have as
many as you want" Dorsey placed sew
eral in his pocket, and handed the box
back to the deputy. Dorsey then passed
out.
was in an adjoining room and recogniz-
ed Dorsey's voice talking 10 the deputy, but
he did not come into my room, neither
saw nor heard me, nor made any inquiry
after me. That is all there is to this SEN
sation that Bliss is trying TO make. He
don't amount to much. He is too full of
downright meanness to amount to any
thing. He is fellow whom Horace Gree
ly suggested should be branded ''Decoy
Bliss" and the appellation suits him. His
efforts to override the most commen
laws of decency have been met by storm
of rebuke by Judge Wyley, each time he
attempted to carry OH his bravado N
court. Judge Wyley is a stern old Vir-
ginian, incorruptible as justice, and hews
When Bliss minated that the defendants

A1OO LII, E,OISOli. Ouc Ol the COuuS0l arose
and pointing his finger at
Bliss, while his eyes sparkled with
suppressed passion thundered out,
That's lie and you are liar" Bliss
covered like dog, and had still further
cause to regret his insinuations when
Judge Wyley gave him most stingipg
reprimand. Any person whom Bliss dis
trusts-and have failed to find whom he
does not-he is liable to at any moment
feel the venom of his treacherous tongue
coming from some unexpected quarter.
1t is probable that he even suspects him
self at times, as when he carries his pocket
book in ms left pocket, his eyes are con-
iinually wandering toward his left hand,
through fear that it may give him the slip
and get hold of the money without his be-
ing aware of the fact. Bliss is continually
trying to hedge and throw distrust on the

those who know Bliss best, pay but little
attention to the po1npous fellow"

Rock Island on all other points, and the
Northwestern even contemplated at one
time aiding the st. Paul road by making a
cut on Davenport, and running trains to
Fulton and then to Rock Island over the
tracks of the Milwaukee & st. Paul.
1t was intimated last night that the Mil
waukee & st. Paul management had deter
mined to rest its case over Sunday, and on
Monday morning to move on the Council
Bluffs passenger business, and to cut freight
rates to local points so near to Council
Bluffs that it will virtually make cut
freight rate to that point.
The present campaign seems to have been
one of errors. The Milwaukee g. st. Paul
began by, making a cut passenger rate to
Sioux City and withdrawing it on the fol-
lowing day. It was credited with having
made fiat rate from Albert Lea to St.
Paul which allowed all its local business be-
tween Albert Lee and st. Paul to be cut.
The Rock Island cut Moline and Rock Is
land but withdrew the order the next day.
and carried the cut to Cedar Rapids, thus
brilliantly transferring all the cut rate
tnrough business to. Cedar Rapids, where
it was turned over to the Northwestern or
Milwaukee st. Paul, whereas, had the
Cedar Rapids cut not been made, this
business would have gone to Rock Island,
and from there been taken west by the
Rock Island road at local rates ,and would
not have gone into the
pool. The Rock Island yesterday
withdrew the Cedar Rapids cut, and now
it will carry the cut rate business from
Davenport, while it is thought the Milwau-
kee / st. Paul will not be able to iniure
the local business of the Rock Island to
any great extent.
Railroad men say that there is no indi-
cation Of an immediate cessation of hos
tilities. Each of the roads stand firmly
by the position it took some months ago,
and the impression prevails that on Mon
day further aggressive steps will be taken.

The Committee on Ways and Means
has agreed to a bill to amend existing
laws so as to provide that duties on i'm
ported sugars. deposited in any bonded
warehouse established By law, shall be
assessed on the quantity delivered from
the warehouse, instead of the quantity
entering into the warehouse. 1t is stated
that the proposed change in the existing
law is made necessary by the fact that
large warehouses for storing sugar have
been recently erected in Cuba, where SUI
gar is held to await the demands Of the
American market, when it is shipped on
telegraph orders, foreign holders thus
receiving the benefit of shrinksges, while
American holders are required to pay
duties on the gross quantity imported
and entered in American warehouses.
This changed condition Of affairs, it is
said, Will result disastrousiy to the ware
house business in the United States, be-
cause American holders are required to
pay duties on the quantity lost by shrink
age, while the foreign holders are ex-
empt from this loss. Petitions for the
passage of the bill have been received
from large importers and refners of
Maine. Rhode Island, Connecticut. New
York, Pennsylvania and Maryland, who
represent that, as the law now stands, it
offers a premium for patronizlng foreign
warehouses and imposes penalty for
employing home labor.
