A HIGH-ToNRD vAoRANT.
From tho Arlington Hotel TO the
Cbatn.Gang.

Julius Haas looked out OF place In the pris-
oners' dock at the Police Court this morning.
He 10 handsome young man OF about 80
years OF age, stands six feet In his stockings,
and exquisitely dressed, and claims to be a
consul from Germany-to whore he did not
eny. There was certainly nothing In his ap.
pearahce 70 bolie his assertion, as he was very
Intelligent and refined looking.
He was In the tolls on complaint OF the clerk
at the Arlington Hotel. He was charged under
the vagrancy law with being suspicious per-
SON.
Mr.. II. v. Bennett, the hotel clerk, sworo that
tho accused boat the hotel out OF eight days
board, and got indignant when It was sug.
\ ested TO him that 1t was customary for
at the hotel, which was found to contain moth
ing except several neat packages OF ashes.
He 10 also charged with getting money from
several gentlemen by the confidence game.
He spoke In broken German and said that
Judge Walter could testify that he was a high
toned gentleman ana highly connected in Ger.
many, whore he had q large bank account.
Judge Walter was sent for and put on the
stand. He proved to be n good witness for the
Government, and II Is said that he has also
been yictimized by the genteel swlndler.
Judge Walter stated that Haas was intro
duced to him by Hon. Simon Wolfe and no did
some business for the defendant, who repre-
sented that his father was broker In Ger
many.
Witness sent on two drafts to banks In Ger.
many and got no reply from either, and he Is
satisned that Haas had no accounts with the
banks. He also cent drafts to Amey & Co., New

<tsiesrated claims In Congress.

The Billy Mcaarrahan is not the only cole
brated claim before Congress. McGarrahan
has been here In person pushing his claim for
about twenty years. Colonel Richard Fitz-
patrick, OF Florida, It seems, laborod longer
than McGarrahen and died pushing the
claim. At the breaking out OF the Seminole
war In Florida Fitzpatrick owned large
plantation at the mouth Of the Miami River,
In that State. The Indians took possession OF
the plantation at the commencement OF hostili.
ties and destroyed his houses, crops, etc.
The military and naval forces soon Thereafter
took possession and established two military
posts on the land. These posts were occupied
by the military for several years, and large
quantities OF wood were cut from the land and
used BY the army. Fitzpatrick laid his dam
ages at $6O,32O, and bill to pay him that
amount was introduced In the Thirty-second
Congress-thirty-two years ago.
Colonel Fitzpatrick came TO Washington and
began prosecuting his claim. He received
favorable reports from the committee, but
they came 80 late In the Congress- that they
could not BIO gotten up and had to be intro
duced ngain and again. Finally be went to
the Court OF Claims. He got Judgment, hut

TROUBLE WITH TICKETS.
Complaints That a Broker Named Edgar
Has Been Dipping His Customers.
His Sudden Disappearance.

There lately came here a young man
named Edgar, who opened a ticket
brokers' office and began rather a lively
business. as he offered rates better than
were given by the regular brokers.
During the last few days several parties
have returned to this city and made
complaints about the manner in which
they were used. AS many know, the
custom of brokers is to sell rebate tickets
that is, if a man wants to go to Kansas
City, they sell him a ticket for a much
further distance, and give him an order
on a Kansas City broker for a certain
amount, so that on arriving there the Gus
toner gets the cash named in the order
for that part of the ticket not used.
Some of those who have thus bought
tickets of Edgar, complain that the orders
for rebate were not honored, and that
they had to take less than what the
orders called for. Some letters have
also been received from brokers on whom
he has drawn, inquiring about him.
Some OF the complaining parties who
feel that they had been thus duped by
these rebate orders, were here Saturday
and hunted diligently for Edgar, but
could not find him, and it was reported
that he had skipped. 1t is said that he
has occupied in times past some promi-
nent railway position, and is a bright
young fellow and we'll up ii railway
matters. but has rather a poor reputation
as to straight deal.
Those who buy tickets should patron
ize brokers who are known to have some
financial standing and responsibility, and
not take chances on those who simply
get desk room somewhere and open up
business as strangers, and who offer so
much greater bargains than those who are
in the business year after year.
The man Edgar has not been at his
office since Friday morning, and the
other occupants have heard nothing of
him. So it seems that he has gone for
good. 1t is estimated that he secured
between 5000 and $500 of money o.
promised rebates.
