ATTFMrTED SwINDLE or CHARLES +.
ADASIs.-A remarkable conspiracy to
swindle money from Charles Francis Ad-
ans has just como to light at Boston. The
first intimation Of the schem was a warn
ing received by Mr.. Adams clerk the 3lst
ult., that his account at his bank had been
overdrawn. This was considered very
surprising, as he was known TO have
$500 to his credit there. IN inyosliga
ton was at once begun and it was found
that check for Sl7 500 regularly Endorsed
and signed by Mr.. Adams, but filled in by
another hand had been deposited in tie
Merchants bank some time before and
had in due course Of business come around
to Mr. Adams bank. j. S. Morrison was
arrested on tho night train for New York
the 9th, for the crime, and says that the
check represented money lost by Mr.. Ad'
ans at gaming. 1t seems that Mr.. Adj
ans, who is in feeble health and whose
memory is impaired, was considered 81
subject by this man, who is interested in Z
bunko " game. for plucking. Meeting
Mr.. Adams ono day, Morrison assumed &c
be relative and political friend Of his
and decoyed him into place on Boylston
street where tho game was in progress
Mr.. Adams was confused and did not seen
to know what he was about, and tht
sharpers finally induced him to sign and
indorse three checks, one for Sl7 500. one
for $1,000, and one for $3.50. Morrison
frankly says that he does not believe Mr.
Adams knew what he was doing, and al
be observed Adams, after the swindle
coming from his home without any appar
ent agitation, supposed that the game ha'
succeeded and that Mr.. Adams had con
cluded to allow tho check to be paid
Another man named J. F. Norton is i'm
plicated, but not yet arrested. Mr.. Adams
clerk on discovering that this check hat
had feen deposited had the aecoun
at the merchants bank trusted ant
the matter placed in the hands of de
tectives with the above result. Mr.
Adams, who is &c years old, has beef
somewhat i'll for two years, and his min
is at times affected. He does not seem t.
realizs the extent or nature Of the trans
action. Tho largest check was the onl.
one deposited.

by the death Of Lord Wilton one Of the
most conspicuous figures in the sporting
and fashionable world has been removed
from life. The late carl succeeded to the
title tho year before tho battle of Water

years he has filed conspicuous place in
society. His popularity was great, both
among yatchmen and racing men, and
his annual Derby dinner" on the eve Of
the great race, was ono OF the events oil

CHALMERS SUCCESS
Would be Great Misfortune TO the
Countryside Says Leading Rad
iCaI Organ.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Mr.. FL. O. Carter, an educated
colored Republican, has entered
the field as a candidate for Con
gress in the Second Mississippi dis
trict. This is the district in which
General Chalmers is running as an
independent candidate with the
hope Of being elected by Republi-
can votes. Mr.. Garter has been in
Washington to see if he could be
aided by the Republican Congress
sional Committee, and is said to
have discovered that the committee
was aiding Chalmers. We are con.
fident that this must be mistake.
There is no possible ground upon
which Chalmers can be considered
a Republican candidate. Asa Bour.
bon he stole y seat in Congress
three times by devices SO open and
outrageous that even Democrats
were unable to defend him. When
he perceived that the Democrats
would no longer uphold him, he
deserted them and became an In
dependent. For such a man to re-
ceive aid from the Republicans
would Ee simply shameful.
MIR. Garter puts the case well in
an address he has issued ito the vot,
ers ofhlss district: "Concotins to
party all 1t claims to have given to
the colored race, freedom and the
ballot, it has done nothing emitting
it to bind us hand and foot and turn
US over to the leadership Of the
men whose hands have been the
deepest and reddest III the blood OF
Southern Republicans" Republi.
can support of Chalmers does pre-,
clsely that, and for that reason We
cannot believe it has been given"
1t is said that Mr.. Carter, whose al.
dress is ample evidence Of his abil-
ity to speak for himself is so popu-
lar that he ls likely to divide the
Republican vote and enable the
Democrats to elect their candidate.
1t is difficult to see how that would
be Il greater misfortune than tho
success of Chalmers.

A DeeP.Lald Plot to Entrap Manning,
OfMisSIsIiSpI.


A Washington special to the
Times. Democrat Of Sept. 4th, says:
''The ramored prospect of a duel
between Chalmers and Manning ex.
cites considerable talk here. A
prominent Mississippi republican
said tonight that Chalmers, while
here and soon after he proclaimed
his intention to run as an inGe.-
pendsut candidate, declared that
he would provoke Manning into
saying something on the stump
that would give him an opportuui-
Gy Of challenging him. He said he
thought he could spike Manning'a
heaviest guns against him in Shat
way. The duel is therefore some
thing which Chalmers determined
n2oa whsn he frst concluded to
JOlu the Republicans"
