struck Williams in the back of the neck,

SORELY FLEECED.
An Old Farmer Vicfimized by Three
Gard Monte Sharpers.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 16.
Oliver Utley, rich, 20 years old, South
wick farmer, was gulled out of $1,000 by
three card monte sharpers this afternoon.
The trick was played by voung fellow about
% years old and 80 years old ''Kentuckian." ="
The three card monte scheme was carried
out in an accepted way till the final was
reached. when the original plan was adopted.
The old man was permitted to win S2500
from the KentuckaD, and the loser, showing
$4,000 in counterfeit bills, said he didn't think
it right for Utley to take the money until he
proved that had he himself lost the bet he
could also have paid. The young man ac-
cordingly accommodated the farmer to two
mile ride to the Westford First National
Bank, where $1,000 were secured. The Ken
tuckian was met mile from Utley's house.
Utley got out and handed the $1,000 to the
young man, who counted the bills and de-
clared them correct. and handed them to the
kentuckian. The latter jumped in the car
riage with his friend and drove away.

GRANT Il WARD.
Ferdinand Ward Again on the Stand
HIS Memory as Defective as Ever.

New YORK. May Is.
The hearing in the suit of J. II. Norris VS..
Grand Ward was continued today before
referee Hamilton Cole. Ferdinand Ward
was again placed upon the stand. He ap-
peared extremely nervous and evaded as
much as possible the questions put to him.
Ills memory in regard to the transactions
was even more defective than at the previous
hearing. Among those interested in the
transactions, he said, were Z. Spicer, Col.
Fred B. Grant, U. S. Grant, Jr., E. H.
Tobey,- f G. Tobey, w. f.. Grace, j. Mel.
son Tappan, W. w. Smith, Jesse r. Grant
and James r. Smith. When he drew money
from the from OF Grant & Ward he simply
told the cashier to give it to him and charge
it to his individual account The system upon
which he worked was based on the imaginary
profits of the operations being carried on.
Ward admitted that the first person who was
associated with him in this business was
President Fish of the Marine bank. He in
duced Fish to embark with him in these
schemes bv representing that he had great
deal of influence with the government. The
others, he added, finally got in some way or
other, don't remember exactly how.
Mr.. Bangs asked Ward: When you de-
sired money how did you go to work to get
it?
Ward-I drew a check on the Marine bank
whe securities were deposited TO the credit of
the firm.
Bangs-Then the real nature of your bust
ness consisted in dscounting the fanciful
prospect of imaginary profits to be derived
from ficticious contracts founded on the
manufacture of loans and artificial contribu-
tiops of imaginary money?
Ward appeared to be staggered for mo-
ment, as a laugh went round. but after asking
to have the question repeated, reluctantly
admitted that it might be true although he
preferred no. to answer.
BaDgs-Did you conduct this sort of bus
mess alone?
Ward-Yes, had no confederates.
Bangs-How much did you put into it and
how long did it remain there before it was
lost?
Wa. done hundred thousand dollars. 1t
was not lost until the crash that know of.

ALMOST A PANIC
In DaIy's Theatre. Caused bv the Hasty
Action Of the Police.

New YoKK. May l6.
A chimney fire occurred in a building in
the rear of DAYS Theatre tonight. The last
act of the operatta "A Night in Venice, was
being performed before a moderate sized au-
dienee. Some Of the smoke entered the
theatre through the open windows at the rear
of the stage. At the same moment num-
ber of policemen rushed into the building and
ordered the audience out. There was at
once a small panic and a general rush for the
entrance. Fortunately the whole audience
escaped safely and the only accident report
ed was the fainting of two ladies in the ves-
tible. The action of the police in thus sud
deuly alarming the audience is strongly con-
demned. One of the actors spoke TO the
people as they were going telling them there
was no danger and this had an effect of allay-
ing the fears of many.

opposition have decided that in case the
franchise bill reaches the House of Lords, a
motion will be proposed on the second read
ing which, if carried, will be tantamount TO
its rejection. The progress of the motion
will show that the tories are not opposed to
the extension of the franchise but to the
peacemeal partisan manner of the govern
