INDIANA SUFFERERS.
The DestitutiOn at ShawReetown and
Raleigh-The Work OF Relief

ISpIANAPoLTs, March 1.-The relief boat
sent down the river from Evansville by the
indianapolis Board of Trade Committee
has discovered and relieved much unheard
of distress. In Sbawneetown about 600
people were found crowded into the court
house and churches with the supply OF
food all but totally exhausted. Another
round of rations gone, and starvation
would have followed. Nearly two hun
dred houses have been wrecked, and
where the streets ought to be is water
fifteen feet deep. Four car loads OF
provisions from this city and $1,000 from
the New York Herald fund is all the relief
that Shawueetown, with her 1000 destitute
people, has received. Across on the Ken
lucky shore is equal destruction found. The
village of Raleigh has only four out OF FIFTY
houses standing, and devastation extends
far back into the farming country on both
sides of the river. In view OF the great suf'
ferng that still prevails the relief work
must rather grow than diminish in magni-
tude.
The State Relief Board has apportioned
the following additional amounts: Perry
county, $1,000; Spencer, $500; Harrison,
5000; Pike, 81, 900. The board is consid
erng the advisability of sending mechanics
of Lswrenceburg and other helpless places
TO assist IN hoisting the houses back to their
former sites.

WHY THE ARABS COME.



PHILADELPHIA, March l.-Tanoos Andreah
who made his appearance in the House OF
Correction to begin three months term,
is the first Arab to taste the hospitalities
of the institution. He has cunning little
boy years old, who, with his father, has
three round trips to New York on foot,
begging subsistence each way. These jour
neys were for the purpose OF deposit
ing the cash gained from Philadel-
phia almsgivers. The third trip
was completed to day, when agent Crawford
OF the Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Children arrested the stalwart beggar
In the Police Court James Rosedale OF Jeru-
salem, who Is conyersant with fourteen
Languages, and who has traversed nearly
every road in the Orient, said there are
number of Arabs who have landed in New
York within year from FL Haddad in the
mountains of Lebanon, and are known as
MarOnite Christians. Tanoos told the in
terpreter that he had not come to this
country to work that he knew America
was the home of charity, and that he had
so far succeeded in getting all the food and
drink he Nanted, and was not going
to work when he could get everything
without exertion. Mr.. Rosedale said the
example of an Arab who came to this
country about two years ago, begged his
way to and from El Paso, and afterward
went to Palestine with Sl.750, had had the
effect of bringing other mendicants to the
United States, and more were to follow.
The magistrate made out commitment
for the Arab beggar, who was taken to the
Central station. When it was suggested
that Agent Crawford was to take charge OF
the boy, and that the father was to go to
place where he would have to work. Tanoos
made frantic attempts to knock hole "a his
head against the slabs Of his cell, and final
ly fell bleeding and exhausted on the floor.

A Married Man and a Single woman

CAMBRIDGE, D., March l.-Fourteen
mouths ago there came to the coal mines
east of town a family named Halstesd.
They formerly lived at Newark, this State.
The husband, George Halstead, obtained
work in one Of the mines and everything
seemed to 60 swimmingly in the domestic
circle until several months ago, when the
husband met young woman whose name
is Annie Price. From the first moment OF
their acquaintance there appeared to be
mutual understanding and Halstead
paid her unusual attention, to the neglect
of his family. A few days ago he
abandoned his wife and children, and as
the young woman disappeared at the same
time, it is surmised that they have gone TO.
eether 70 nastures new, His family is left
in deplorable condition, and depend en-
tirely upon the charity Of their neighbors
for the necessaries of life. Mrs. Halstesd
was In town the other day begging for as
sistance to keep her children from starving.
When asked if her husbands companion
in flight vas better looking than herself,
she drew herself up with touch OF the
pride 50 natural to her sex. and replied !:
.She is not half as good looking as am, 1t
/ Was dressed up"

SYSTEMATIC SWINDLERS.
Detection and Narrow Escape OF Conf.
dence Operators.


CHILuCoTHE. o, March IA pair OF
shrewd swindlers have been operating
among the farmers surrounding Chillicothe
for ssme time. The advance agent OF the
pair is a rather young fellow with several
aliases, but whose real name is John Hol-
land. The senior member is also possessed
of several other names for use in emer-
gencies, as B. F. Bachelor. their sys-
tenn is to have Holland go ahead and in
private way trumpet the power OF the
alleged DR.. Bachelor TO cure cancer, while
swelling, and all manner OF chronic dis
eases, In due time Batchellor himself APP
pears among the ruralists, processes to give
them medicine which will remedy their ills
and the two between them induce their
victims to sign notes for large amounts,
ostensibly payable when a cure is effected,
but in reality good negotiable paper. These
notes vary in amount from $50 to 500, but
are generally in sums of 500. As soon as
the community is worked out the notes
are sold in such installments as not TO eX-
cite too much suspicion, and the rascals
leave for new field af plunder.
Their plan has been TO operate at some
distance outside of county seats, making
the latter their headquarters. A number
of their victims decided upon their arrest
and exposure recently, and employed De.
tective Lyons and an associate, and sent
them here TO entrsp them. They were in
possession of two warrants, one charging
the fellows with swindling and the other
With changing counterfeit money. The
detectives remained here in ambush sever
al days last week and portion OF this, and
Just IS they were about to make the arrest
The prey in some way got scent oil their
, ursuers and left with great suddenness.
