OSTRACIZED AND BANISHED.
The Alleged Murderer OF Fora Burns q
Homeless Wanderer.
Lincoln Qlll Dispatchl

lLincoln I'LL Dispatch.l
This week will see Orrin A. Carpenter,
the once wealthy and highly respected citi-
zen Of Lincoln, homeless wanderer. He
has sold his property in this city and closed
out his business, and is going no one knows
whittier. He is the first man who was ever
banished from the State of Illinois by a
mass convention Of the people. His ostra-
cism has been complete. He goes because
he cannot live here. No one will buy any
thing of him or sell him anything.
No one will speak to him on
the street or elsewhere. His wife and his
beautiful daughters are served in the same
way. Friends and fellow church members.
who have known them all and been ASSOC
ciated with them in many good works for
years past, treat them as strangers. The
feeling is unanimous; the ostracism uni
versal.
In spite Of Carpenters acquittal Of the
murder of Fora Burns, his former house.
maid, the belief in his guilt is genenal.
The circumstantial evidence, which was
strong and in some respects damning at the
trial, has been made more SO since then by
fresh discoveries, and no one in Lincoln
doubts his guilt fora moment.

This city was never confdenced as it was
yesterday and to-day. About noon Tues
day O smooth looking man, about % or 26
years of age, entered the jewelry store Of c..
q. Berg, Mt Third and Cedar streets. and
presented card purporting to belong to the
firm of John James q Co., iron and brass
founders and machinists, Lacrosse, Wis. He
gave his name as WILDER III. Jones, and at
once bought some diamonds, amounting in
all 10 about $225. In payment
for these no presented check
on the Lacrosse firm, and was given S75 in
change. About 2 p. m. the same man went
into The jewelry establishment of Myers &
Finch, on Bridge Square, and bought bill
of goods, giving in payment another check.
Myers Il Finch lost 81 ,055. He made a
call on Glenny K Gilman later, and pur-
chased 5000 worth Of goods, rendering q
check for 800, in return for which Mr..
Gilman gave check for $500. The man
had been in correspondence with several
parties, notably Myers & Finch, for some
time, and had written his communications
on the engraved letter heads of the firm,
with his own name at the top, between
those of the members of the firm. Dyer &
Ho ward are out $3.50. The Cafe Living
ston was victimized out of 500. Ransom
4 Horton, hatters, were also downed.
Duncan q Barry lost two suits Of clothes.
Palmer, the tailor. got caught for three
suits Of clothes. Emil Gerst lost $4,000
worth Of diamonds. Ed Brown, Third
street jeweler, lost some diamonds, and
described the operator as being five feet ten
inches in height. Of dark complexion,
bristly black moustache, with q peculiar
motion OF the jaw. 1t is impossible to as
certain who have been bitten. To do so
one would have to take Wabasha street and
Third street on both sides for their entire
length. The swindlers operations almost
caused a panic.

timized out Of S., 600 by one Of tho clever

Baltimore. The rogues have escaped, and
detectives have started West after them.
thinking they have gone in that direction.
Triaca about two months ago became 40
quainted with o stout Italian who came here
from California. Two weeks ago he left
Baltimore to return to California. Last
Monday he came back said 10 was going TO
bring his family here, and got Triaca to
go with him to bank, where he
deposited 81, 800 Now comes the curious
part of the swindle. Triaca and his friend
went out 10 look for house. While on
their travels they met another italian, who
carried o well-filled satchel, which, when
opened, seemed to be full of money. The
man appeared to be demented, and became
very communicative. in crazy, disjointed
style of talking. He told them that he had
come from Colombo, where he and a
brother had been making heaps Of money
for years. The brother was dead, and
had left all his money to the
crank, who had it all. amounting to
about $4,000. in his satchel. He was
on his way to Chicago, where he
about, handling the bars of gold and pack
ages Of $40 gold pieces very carelessly.
The big Italian whispered to Triaca it
would only be friendly act to take this
crazy fellow countryman home and keep
him from losing or being robbed Of all that
wealth. The suggestion was acted upon.
The big man suggested that it would in
spire confidence in them on the crank n
part if they showed him they had plenty OF
money, and he would the more easily allow
his money to be taken care of. Acting on
this hint, Triaca went to several banks
in which he had amounts and drew out
in oil $780, the big Italian also drawing
out his 81 500 deposit. Then the crank
said he must go at once TO Chicago They
started for Charles Street Depot to see him
off, But his money was an membranes,
he said and if his new-found friends would
only take it, put the money with theirs, and
keep it for him he would be much obliged.
Upon this the big Italian handed the crank
his roll of bills, Triaca following suit, and
the crank stuffed the money in his satchel
rs carelessly as If it were old papers. He
handed the satchel, bursting with all this
money, to his friend, but in a moment
took it back and got 5000 in notes,
saying that would serve him till his return
from Chicago. Triaca hurried away to put
the satchel in place of safety. At home
he opened it, to find nothing but worthless
paper and bars of iron foot long rolled
tightly in paper, at the ends Of which the
sly cheat had put one or two $50 gold
pieces. He had by some sleight- of hand
taken every dollar Of the money out, either
when he pretended to stuff Triaea's in the
satchel or when he got out the 5000 for
travelling expenses.

THERE doesn't seem to be much
doubt left that the Florida steamship
horrer was the result of sheer careless
ness. This is the story of those who
were in position TO judge of the
causes of the accident. The night was
clear and clondless, there were sup
posed to be a lookout on duty before
the mast, boatswain, and chief officer,
and it is plain that the accident was
clearly the result of their inattention
to duty. The Florida was seen half
hour by the approaching bark before
the collision, and if the officers of the
former had been attending to their du-
ties the great loss of life would have
been spared.

CHICAGO DAILY Ne,Cs: The marriage
of Miss Ella Wheeler has given the
witlings something to write about, and
we may expect to see a good deal of
coarse humor printed about an event
which, it seems to us, should be treated
with that delicacy with which respecta-
BILE persons are in the habit of discuss
ing affairs to which lady is a party.
The fact that Miss Wheeler is the
author of considerable lurid poetry
affords no excuse for the indecent ridi-
Guile TO which she has been subjected,
and which has broken out afresh since
the announcement of her marriage with
Mr. Wilcox, a very estimable young
gentleman from New England. 1t is
quite likely that some who have basely
misconstrued the sentiment of Miss
Wheeler's verse imagine that she is de-
void of that refinement, purity, and
delicacy of feeling which constitute the
highest beauty of intellectual woman
hood; these persons are grievously at
fault. None but woman of the Sc
verest purity and delicacy of feeling
could write such poems as Miss Wheeler
has given us; none else would dare do
so. We regret the rude iests which
are emitted at this gentle lady's ex-
pense. but we feel that she is too far
above them to be pestered by their
stings or to suffer their evil odors to in
terrupt the flow of her vivid but grace
full muse.
