ARRESTED FOR EMBEzzLEMENr



David w. and Samuel Z. Middleton were mr.
rested Saturday afternoon on warrants sworn
out by David r. Drenner, an eS-clerk Of the
treasury department, who charges them with
embcxllcmcnt, under the act Of 1873, The
warrants were served by officer Kenner. 5. X.
Middleton was found in the office of HELEN Il
Middleton, and d. W. Middleton was appro-
hcndCd ut his residence, No. 2li New Jersey
avenue They gave bail afer considerable
delay In the sum of $1,000 each.
Mr Hrenner alleges that on the 10th of May
last he gave Middleton & Co. o check on the
Citizen National bank, of this city, for 81 100
the exact amount is a fow dollars In excess of
sl,lJJ), TO be used for the purchase of forty
three shares Of Western Union stock that the
amount was never used for the purpose In
tended. that when he called on Middleton Il
Co. TO sell the stock at nm advance Of four cents
aud make over the proceeds TO him lie was
Informed that the purchase had never been
made. that the receipt given him Mt the time
the check for g, 100 was handed Middleton II
Co. shows the object for which II was given,
aud that failure to carry out the contract
entered into constitutes embczzement. The
defense is that ;hc 81, 100 was merely deposit,
aud that the bank books will show IL to be
such. Mr. Brcnner has the original check and
the receipt. He claims that the sum over
S2,l0O VIII show that 10 was the purchase money
for tortythree shares of Western Union stock,

The chief Of engineers OF the army has re-
ccived the annual reports of all the engineer
officers in charge Of coast and harbor defense.
They rcitcrate their assertions of last year that
the Atlantic coast and lake fronts are In an
almost totally deionscless condition. The ma.
iOrity of the defcuses arc said to be fallln,

utterly worthless. Gen. Newton, II Is under.

TIE Egyptian conference has ended,
leaving the situation in Egypt precisely
us IL was when the conference met.
Nothing whatever was accomplished in
the way of meeting the deficiency in the
Egyptian revenues, readjusting the debt,
or providing u stable government. France
would consent to nothing that England
wanted, and was unable to formulate a
new plan Of government that was ac'
ceptablo TO any of tho powers. The
whole burden and responsibility of gov
erning Egypt has been thrown on Eng
land, while the French creditors will get
the benefit of whatever plan for meeting
the debt British statesmen may invent
A contingency may arise in which Eng
land will feel obliged to sot up govern,
ment in Egypt that is strong enough tC
levy and collect taxes and to maintain
the peace. 1t will be essentially British
government.

A SETTLER FROM ST. JOHN.
He Nails the Lies Set Afioat by the
Republican Press.
And Administers a Singing Rebuke
to the Intolerance OF the G. o. p.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, December 12.-
Rev. John G. Hanna, of this city, has
received letter from ex-Gov. st. John,
in which he says: 1.-The whole story of
the Republican papers that /, at any
time in my life, either directly or indi-
rectly, proposed to sell out to Republi-
can, Democratic, or any other political
party or organization, is simply one of
the many infamous and malicious lies
for which the Republican press, during
the campaign just closed, had been
noted. If I had desired to have sold
my principles for money or office, l
could have done so years ago, and would
not have waited to have negotiated
with party that is morally and finan-
cially embarrassed. In the late cam
paign the National Prohibition party
betrayed my expenses. gave to the
cause my time and labor, without
money and without price. | am to-day
and have always been comparatively a
poor man, too poor to be bought. The
Republican party may burn me in effigy
and continue its threats of personal
violence. 1t may open its flood-gates
of falsehood and villification and bitter
ness upon me, but it can never swerve
me one jot or title from doing what my
conscience tells me is right.
"The campaign of 1883 has already
begun, and the warfare against the
liquor traffic will be vigorously prose-
cuted, and the political party that stands
in the way of this movement ofthe peo-
pie will get hurt. The spirit of intoier-
ance exhibited by the Republican press
to-day is doing for that party just what
the same spirit did for the pro slavery
party thirty years ago. Hanging men
In eftigy, indulging in falsehood and
villification is not argument, i.or will it
in this day and age of free schools,
Christian homes and free men scare
anybody, OF cause any one to abandon
their principles at the dictation of any
political party"

Laws of Finding.

The law of finding is this: The finder
has clear title against the whole world
except the owner. The proprietor of a
coach or railroad car or of a shop has no
right to demand the property which
may be found upon his property or pre-
mises. Such proprjetors may make
regulations in regard to lost property
which will bind theiremployes but can
not bind the public. The law of finding
was declared by the Kings Bench one
hundred years ago, in a case in which
the facts were these: A person found a
wallet containing sum of money on a
shop floor. He handed the wallet and
contents to the shop keeper to be re-
turned to the owner. After three years,
during which the owner did not call for
his property, the finder demanded the
wallet and the money from the shop
keeper. The latter refused to deliver
them upon the ground that they were
found on his premises. The former
then sued the shopkeeper, and it was
held as above set fourth, that against
all the world but the owner the title of
the finder is perfect. And the finder
has been held to stand in the place of
the owner, so that he was permitted to
prevail in any action against person
who found an article which the plaintiff
had originally found, but subsequently
lost. The police have no special rights
In regard to articles lost unless those
rights are conferred by statute.

Tiger Hunting i'm Ohio.

DAYTON. O., DEC. 10.-Between IL
and o'clock this morning William
Leshner,a a farmer living five miles from
this city, was awakened by hearing a
great noise in his hog pen. He arose
and armed with revolver, went forth
to learn what was the cause. Arriving
at the hog pen he discovered therein a
large animal, which had killed one of
his hogs, having torn its head off.
Leshner fired two shots at the animal,
which turned upon him, when he ran
for the house as rapidly as possible.
Securing shot gun he fired from his
door stoop, when the animal returned
to the hog pen and killed two more
hogs. Leshner had no more ammuni-
tion, and while moulding bullets, the
neighbors who had been aroused by the
noise made by the hogs, came to the
rescue and the animal fled to the woods.
1t has since been learned that the ami
NAL was Bengal tiger, which escaped
from S. H. Barrett's circus, now in
this city. The Circus men have sent a
cage to the vicinity with a gang of
keepers. The tiger is now confined in
an clubhouse on Leshner's premises.

Cleveland Fni,, Dealer: The Herald
wants to know what we think of Presi-
dent Cleveland's civil service reform
policy.
We do not know what President
Cleveland's policy in respect to the civil
service will be, and don't believe the
Herald or anybody else knows.
We suppose President Cleveland will
do what is right, and have every conf
dence that he will. We are content to
wait and see. Mr.. Cleveland was elect
ed as q Democratic President by Demo-
Gratis, and we undertake to say that he
will carry out the policy of his party
whatever that may be.
We only know what our own policy
with respect to the civil service is, and
presume that President Cleveland will
agree with it. 1t is comprised as we
may say in two propositions, to-wit: \,
First Turn the fascals out.
Second-Keep the rascals out.
That is our idea ofcivil service reform.
