THE ORIsKANY BATTLE.
A Letter From the Hon. Horatio Seymour
The Monument.

Letter From the Hon. HoratiO Seymour
The Monument.
The Hon. HOratiO Seymour has written
the following letter to MIR. Vim. DOrs-
heimer, of New York, in reference to the
Oriskany battle monument and the his
tOrical event which it is proposed to
commemorate:
UTICA, N. Y, October 20.
MY DEAR SIR: The Oriskany mOnu-
ment is nearly done. Next spring, l sup
pose, its completion will be celebrated.
There is one view of the battle at Oris-
kany which should be kept before the
public mind. 1t was the distinctive
German conflict of the Revolution. The
fight at HOOsick, known as the battle of
Bennington, was by New England men
against the British. The battle at Sara
tOga was conflict mainly by New York
ers against the forces of BurgOyne. 1t
had HOlland-Dutch aspect, as many of
that race were engaged in it, and Gen.
Schuyler's services strengthened the inn
preston.
The cost of the Oriskany Monument
has been increased by the expense of
brass tablets to be placed on the sides of
Its base. One of them gives represen-
tatiOn of Herkimer sitting upon his sad
die under tree directing the movements
of the German soldiers, although he was
mOrtally wounded. Upon another tab
let Is placed the names of the patriots,
most of whom were Germans. The cost
of these tablets, showing Gen. Herkimer's
herOism and the names of the German
soldiers, makes deficiency in the funds.
The Germans OF the Mohawk Valley are
mostly farmers, who do not readily aid
in such cases. 1t has occurred to me
that the wealthy Germans of New York
would be willing to assist in this case
in view of the testimony it bears to the
patriotism of their cOuntTymen. If they
would send $500 it would be relief to
the committee, who have not only paid
freely, but labOred zealOusly to complete
the work. am not one of them, nor
does the matter concern me. ] write to
you, for remember the interest which
the Germans Of New York City showed
with regard to the monument to Baron
Steuben. send you photograph of
the work, which is not yet finished. 1t
shows where the tablets will be placed
OF the sides of the base. They will be
feet long by feet inches high made
of bronze. They will cost $4,000. In
your address at 0riskany you said sit
was German fight" This was truth
which should be impressed upon the
public mind. am truly yours,
HORATIO SEYMOUR.
Hon. William DOrsheimer.

A BAD BARBER.

Shaving Number of Too COnflding PeO-
pie and then ships For Parts Unknown.
An Ger true tale has Just come to light
which goes forward proving the truth of
that cynical adage that says, there's
not an honest man on earth, and very
few in heaven"
Some time during the course of the
past summer young tOnsOrial artist,
calling himself Harry DillswOrth, ar
rived in this city from Youngstown, ac-
cOmpanied by woman whom he rep
resented as his wife. In company with
partner he rented a room on East
Tuscarawas street, which he fitted up as
barber shop, and soon had quite a
thriving little business. But the fes-
tive Harry loved pool, dice, and beer
better than he did business and spent
the greater part of his time twirling
the ivory balls and squares, and sampl-
ing the various decOctiOns of hop Juice,
in all of which he was quite proficient.
AS a consequence, his business dwindl-
ed down to rather small proportions,
and through lack of cash he was forced
to borrow the needful from a friend and
acquaintances. He is the pOssessOr of
very valuable tongue, which he wagg-
ed at good advantage, borrowing indis
cTiminately from almost every one with
whom he came in contact, the sums
ranging from twenty-five cents to ten
dollars. In addition TO secret loans of
cash. he also got goods from various
stores throughout the city.
Well, on Monday morning Harry turn
ed up among the missing and was no.
where to be found by the anxious
creditors who were on the lookout for
him. He had packed his little grip,
shaken the dust of Canton from his feet,
and silently departed into the mystic
regions of the unknown, leaving a host
of mourning victims to bewail his sud-
den disappearance. Surely mans in
humanity to man makes countless thOus-
ands mourn" 1t now appears that his
name is not ellsworth, but LOwden-
slicker, as several parties have been in
town of late who knew him, and these
same parties say that the woman who
lived with him here was not his wife,
but woman who ran away with him
from Youngstown, where he left wife
and three children. If LOwdenslicker
is his name he does not belle it, as q
louder and slicker rascal has not ap-
peaTed in Canton for some time.

CANTON OHIO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER a. 1883

plaster of Paris, lead, Sc. The most in
teresting part of the story is the history
of the gang, which had begun such ex
tensiVe operations. 1t is secret society
of the blood and thunder variety, now
numbering twenty-five members. 1t
was organized, according to its records,
June 18th of the present year. Its men,
6ers are young men, 18 to 2l years old.
They styled themselves the United Birds
and Brothers. They had organized an
elaborate system of signals and secret
alphabets, to which the officers now
have the key. Their secret records were
kept by a secret system, which is trans
lated according to the key by an ar
rangement of figures. A being repre-
sented by the figure 1, b 2, &C., 10, K
10, &c. The members who have con-
fessed tell blood curdling stories about
the process of Initiation. Each appli-
can't was required to take the following
unique Oaths:
First Oath-DO you sOlemnly swear,
upon your honor, by all that is great
and small, to forever keep secret what
we are about to tell you, under the fear
of being laid below the rays of the sun,
moon and stars by the United Band av-
engers, so help you GOd?"
Second Oath-DO you sOlemnly swear
upon your honor never to tell, or cause
w hAO"h ny dly bbluS bACtpL YOUR
self and your infOrmers, the secrets we
have trusted to you, under fear of being
avenged by party of which you know
nothing at present, so help you GOd?"
Third Oath-BTOther, knowing our
secret purposes, do you sOlemnIy swear,
upon your honor, by all that is great
and small, by the devil and all imps, by
hell and all its terrOTs, this world and
all its dangers, the United Birds and
Brothers and all their avengers, never
to betray or cause to be betrayed any
one of our party, but to always defend
each and every one of us through thick
and thin to the last, upon the fear of be-
ing shot dead in yOnr tracks, OF stabbed
through the heart with a nine inch
blade, so help you GOdp"
When the last oath is administered,
says young Clark, the applicant kneels,
and cooked revolver, loaded with ball
cartridges, is held at his head. On one
occasion the revolver was placed at the
candidates head during the administra-
tiOn of the first oath. He got scared and
started to run. but was brought back,
and the ceremony was completed with
some notifications. Thus far the gang
had coined considerable bogus money.
1t is of fair workmanship. The gang
has stolen horses once or twice, but had
not got quite ready for the wholesale ca
reer of crime that was contemplated.
The leaders have fled and officers are in
pursuit. The two under arrest are held
in $1,000 bonds each for the United
States Grand Jury.

BUSINESS TROUBLES.
Failure of John N. GIiddon. at Cleveland,
For 100000.

Failure OF JOhn N. Gnddtn. at Cleveland,
For 100000.
CLEVELAND, o., Oct. 24.-Today's sem
satiOn In business circles is the failure
of John N. Glidden, secretary of the Re-
public Iron Company. Late yesterday
the company filed in court complaint
against him for upward of 100000, on
which he confessed judgment. AS SO
curity the company holds his stock,
$25O.OOO, but it is understood cOnsidera-
bic of this is pledged for other debts,
and questions of priority of claims are
likely 10 arise. Mr.. Glidden stated this
morning to an Associated Press reporter
that his failure is solely attributed to
shrinkage of values in the legitimate
iron business. His Indebtedness to the
company is for ore purchased on his
own account and sold 10 other parties
and for transportation. He says that in
a year and half he has lost over $500
600 from this cause. He will call a
meeting of his creditors and ask an ex-
tension of time. His embarrassment
will not affect the Republic Iron Co.,
whose capital stock is $2,500,000, nor
will it effect Glidden 81 Manning, who
do a strictly commission business, and
have no debts.
