THE CRIMINAL RECORD.
Arrest of One of the Supposed Northampton
Bank Burglars,

Bank Burglars.
New York, Sept. 2.-Stephen Raymond,
alias Steve" Marshall, was arrested yester-
day on charge of forgery. The forgery con-
sisting of the alteration of numbers on the
Union Pacific Railroad Company's coupons,
supposed to be a portion of the bonds and
coupons stolen Jan. 26, 1876, from the North
ampton, Mass, bank. Eighteen months ago
notice was received at the New York Office
OF the Union Pacific Railroad Company from
A. X. Hinckley, of Boston, that coupons
supposed to be part of the proceeds of the
Northampton burglary, were being regularly
paid in this city. The matter was placed in
the hands of private detectives without re-
suit. Last March twelve coupons of 81, 900
slnklng-fund bonds of the Union Pacific rail:
road were paid both i'll the New York and
Boston Offices of the company. Those pre-
sented We're found to be genuine coupons.
but with altered numbers; the coupons paid
in Boston proved to be the prop
erty of reputable merchant. A
few days ago Inspector Byrnes was notified
of the facts, and as the semi-annual
payments of coupons due became payable
yesterday, detectives were assigned to watch
for the presentation of the altered coupons.
At signal from Mr.. Litell, coupon clerk of
the Union Pacific Company, man who had
given the name of Clark was followed to the
National Bank of Commerce, where he went
to cash check for $3.50, just received. Be-
fore presenting the check he recognized De-
tective Sevin on the other side of the street.
Tearing up the check, he thrust the pieces in
his mouth and began to eat them. The de-
tective at once arrested him, but recovered
only a small portion of the check. The pris-
oner was recognized as Raymond, alias Mar
shall, forger who, in 1873, aided in placing
$3.50, 900 forged Erie and Buffalo bonds. For
this offense he was sentenced to five years in
the State prison. He is forty-six years old,
and has one glass eye. He is said to confine
himself entirely to forgery. In the police
court, to-day, he was remanded. The bonds
from which the altered coupons were de-
tached are supposed to be the property of
Hinckiey, who had a large amount of secu-
rites on deposit in the vaults of the North
ampton bank at the time of the burglary.

Bartholomew County Fair.

COLUMBUS, Sept. 2.-The county fair closed
yesterday, and tine experiment of conduct
ing it on high moral plan was not an entire
success, financially. The exhibit was very
fine, the best ever seen in the county, but the
attendance was comparatively light and the
receipts will probably not pay expenses.
The managers now see the necessity of races
properly conducted, of a series of addresses
or something to draw a crowd aside from the
industrial and agricultural display. With
the experience they have gained this year
and with like effort the society can make a
magnificent success another time.

Mrs. Jones has been confined to her
room by disease which baffled the skill
of all the physicians. Two weeks ago the
doctor gave the woman up for dead, and so
did all the relatives and husband of the I'M
fortunate lady. Day by day she weakened
and slowly drew near the shadow of the val
ley, where she bid her friends goodbye, and
prepared to go the way of her ancestors One
bright morning Sallie came into the bed

her end was nigh she thought she would in
form her she had entered into an arrange
ment whereby she was at the proper time to
become the mistress of Mr.. Jones estate, and
followed up the announcement by asking
her to bless the union. But Mrs. Jones did
nothing of the kind. She aroused herself
from the lethargy and stupor in which she
had fallen, and despite the fact that she was
almost standing on Jordan's stormy banks,
put forth her will power, and determined to
get well and knock that match into cooked

The Orth viii Contest.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Sept. 2.-The Journal reporter
to-day interviewed Harry Orth, son of the
late Godlove s. Orth, relative to the contest
of his fathers will by DR.. William NJ. Orth.
1t has been rumored that the matter would
probably be compromised, but young Mr..
Ortiz very emphatically denies the rumor.
1t is not likely that the differences between
the widow and the two sets of children will
be amicably adjusted. The property of
Congressman Orth was considerably encum-
bered, there being an Indebtedness of up
wards of $20O IF the Doctor will de-
duct from fathers property" said Harry
Ortiz, "the amount of the Indebtedness and
give to the widow her third, then figure up
what the lawyers fees and court costs would
be, he would have nothing but the fun of
having made the computation. There would
be precious little left" Elk Governor Baker
has been counsel for the Orth family for
many years, and will defend the will.

The New Law Concerning Mine Inspection
To BE Put in Operation.
| Special to the Indianapolis Jourpal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 1.-The rapid in
crease of the coal mining interests of this
State, now reaching an annual product
valued at nearly $4,000, 900, with over 1000
mines opened employing over 10000 people,
and particularly the great disasters to life
during last winter in the mines at Braid
wood and Coulterville, prompted the Legs-
lature during its last session, to enact bet
ter law for securing the inspection of mines.
Under the former law the appointment of
inspectors was left to county boards of
supervisors, and these bodies decided both
upon the qualification and the pay OF such
functionaries so that in practice the State
might nearly as we'll have been without
mine inspection. Today the first practical
step toward putting the new law into opera
ton is taken.
In the first place, board of examiners is
pontment as district inspectors of Mines
the board to consist Of two mine operators,
two practical miners, and one mining en-
gineer The following constitute this board
w. H. Emerson, of Astoria, and John Maule,
OF Belleviile, both operators; George Nelson,
of Springfield, and John Dixon, of Streator,
both miners, and W. S. Cherry, OF Streator a
mining engineer. The State pays the mem
bers of this board for not to exceed fifteen
days service in the year They are now
here for the first examination of applicants,
which will begin tomorrow. The secretary
OF the State bureau of labor statistics acts
as their secretary. 1t is agreed that the ex-
amnatons shall be both oral and written,
shall be uniform for all candidates, and en-
brace the following topics: The theory and
practice of mine ventilation, including the
character and management of gases; elemen-
tary geology and chemistry; the general
principles of engineering including the use
of instruments; the different methods of
opening and working mines in Illinois; mine
machinery and mechanical appliances;
knowledge of the mining laws.
The examinations are expected to last at
least a week probably ten days and will be
very thorough and rigid Notice is received
that from thirty to forty applicants will be
in attendance and all those reaching an es-
tablished percentage in the examination
will be certified TO the Governor as cOmpe-

Killed Under the Cars.

EVANSVILLE, Sept. This morning, Chas.
Hear, coal-cart driver, aged eighteen years
got on a switch train in the L. L. & ST. L.
yard to ride about until coal car should be
run down to the dump. Through some mis-
chance, when near the junction of the L. E.
& st. L. and e. & 7. H., he fell between the
first car and the engine tender. The engine
was backing at the time, and no one saw him
fall. He was caught by the brake-rods of the
tender and the fire-box of the engine and
fearfully mangled. His body was thrown
out from the cow-catcher just as the Mt
Vernon branch train passed on the e. & T.
H. Captain George hewitt, of the police,
saw the body come from under the cow
catcher from the branch train, and jumping
off hurried to the boy. Life was extinguished
so suddenly it is thought he never knew
what hurt him. No one on the switch train
was aware OF the accident until recalled to
the scene by Captain hewitt.
