The Coupon Frauds,

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Another
chapter has been added to the history
of the coupon frauds in the finance
of the city government,
by which the city was swindled out
$4,000. Inspector Byrnes has ar
rested Thomas Enos, charged with re-
ceiving stolen goods. Enos has been
regarded as a gentleman of means
and was intimate with a friend of
VIM. B. Carroll, late coupon clerk of
the finance department, through
whose death the frauds were brought
to light. Enos was the man who
sold the coupons. 1t is supposed he
received the coupons from Carroll.
and perhaps also some from others in
the comptroller's office, whose names
have not been made. The police fol-
lowed Enos for two months before he
was captured. Inspector Byrnes says
there is now a fair prospect that
all the gdilty persons will be
brought to justice. Carroll shared
the proceeds of the sale Of coupons
with Enos, others doubtless received
their share, and in the course of time
it will be found out who did. Enos
says nothing regarding the matter, is
q years old and was never connected
with the comptroller's or any other
public Office.

a train wrecking and robbery four
miles east of Gage station and thir-
teen miles west of Deming. AS the
east bound Southern Pacific passen-
ger train passed that point about 5
o'clock this afternoon it was stopped
by party of seven COW
boys who opened fire on
the train. About twenty shots
were fired, and Webster, the engineer,
was killed. The robbers removed the
plate and spread the rails, throwing
the engine, mail car, one coach and
the front end of the sleeper from
the track. A brakeman, who
escaped, brought in the first
account which was very meagre.
The robbers hung around the wreck
until night and then left, taking about
$500 from the express car. Full par
ticulars have not been learned, as the
train did not reach Deming. The
commanding officer has been tele-
graphed, and pursuit will be prompt
and vigorous.

TRIED FOR MURDER.
France and China.

PARIS, Nov. 24.-Admiral Peyron,
minister of marine, received a dis
patch from Admiral Courtset, COM
mander of the French forces at Ton
quin, stating that all available troops
had been concentrated at Hanoi, in
order to begin operations. Sufficient
garrison had been left to defend the
other citadels of Delta. The enemy
attacked Hal Dzuong on the 18th inst,
but were repulsed, at the time of
sending the dispatch. On the 17th
the sound of cannon was
heard in the direction OF
Hal Dzuong. A telegram from
Saigon says: The French began oper-
ations in Tonquin on the Goth inst.

The Distinguished StaIwart.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Ex-Senator
Geo. Spencer, formerly from Ala
bama, now engaged in mining in
Nevada, passed through the city to-
day en- route to Washington ia charge
of United States marshal. The ar
rest of the ex-senator is for contempt
of court in failing to appear at the
star route trial. Spencer was origin
ally engaged in the star route investi-
cation when James was postmaster
general, but when the cases
were called for trial he
went to Europe to avoid
testifying. In an interview to-day
when asked why he had failed to test
fly, Spencer said, he was the first man
to suggest the star route investigation
and when they were begun gave the
postmaster general and the govern
ment the benefit of what he knew
about them. He claims he did this
without recompense and claims fur
Their that he had an under
standing with President Garfield
and Postmaster General James that
he should not be known in the matter
or be made a witness for the prosecu-
ton. When he got his evidence in
shape he declares he went to his home
in Nevada, expecting it was an end to
the matter. Under what circumstances
were you arrested, he was asked. In
July the attorney general sent a capias
to Nevada for my arrest and [ was
not there. The United States marshal
to whom it was sent put the document
in the pigeon hole, and there it laid
until week or two ago, when he
wrote to Washington asking what he
should do with it, and the reply
was a hifalutin telegram signed
Brewster attorney general ordering
him to arrest me and bring me to
Washington forthwith so here I
am" Spencer said he had retained
ex-Secretary Boutwell, to defend him
and that he could prove by Postmas-
ter General James of the compact
with President Garfield.
