The Three Fugitives Seen in Canada
Fleeced By Chicago sharper.
WASHINGTON, IND, Sept. S.-There
are some new developments in the Davies
county trustee frauds. Grimsley, Brown
and Clarke, the abscOnding trustees, have
been seen and interviewed In Hamilton,
Ont. j. C. Biltheimer, one Of the promi-
nent attorneys Of Washington, went TO
Canada shortly after they disappeared
and came across them in Hamilton. Mr..
Biltheimer saws: "When l arrived in
Hamilton. Ont, | found three of the
glOOmiest trustees | ever saw in my life
They looked sad and forsaken, but offered
no apologies or explanations concerning
their schemes. They blamed a Chicago
party for a good part OF the mischief.
don't believe the three trustees have
much left, but | think the Chicago man
beat them out Of about all they raised on
fraudulent warrants, because the paper
was made out tO his orders and he made
10 promise TO hand over the money 10
them as be disposed OF the paper. No one
OF the three could say how much paper he
had issued. The total amount, however,
is not less than $3.50, 1000"

issue OF $1,000 Of certificates by former
trustees. There is condemnation among
the people OF this section.

Cancelled silver Certificates.

WASHINGTON, sept. Sit is stated at
the Treasury Department that the only
significance OF the recent cancellation Of
silver certificates TO The amount OF about
$1,000. 900 lies In the fact. as shown by
experience, that certificates OF large de-
nominations are practically worthless as
a circulating medium. The notes de-
stroyed we're $500 and $1,000 certificates,
and il is proposed In case they shall be re-
qulred 20 replace them with $40, $50, $50

titled that Mrs. Jarrett. obtained her
daughter from her on the plea Of needing

ALLEGED INNOCENCE or THE MOTHER.
The witness secuted the idea that She
knew anything Of the character OF Mrs.
Jarrett, other than was represented by
the prisoner herself that she was woman
OF respectability, and denied In a most
emphatic manner that she had sold her
daughter for immoral purposes.
Eliza Armstrong, on crOss-examinatlon,

children, lived In one room. and admitted
that with the exception OF the indignities

once for using obscene language on th9
streets. she said that she was not drunk

ADMIRAL J0UETT'S REPLY
HE CLAIMS THAT THE $4OO WAS
A CONTINGENT EXPENSE.

The Right to Deduct the Amount from
HIS Salary Disputed-Large sums Per-
EOnRlly Spent by the Admiral and His
Ohicers-HOw the Responsibility Must
be Fixed.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S. - Second Comp
troller Maynard has received letter
from Rear Admiral Jouett in regard to
the disputed expenditure of $400 for the
entertainment OF official visitors to the
flagship Tennessee at New Orleans dur
ing the cotton exposition. He requests
that the case be re-examined, and called
attention to the following points, which
he believes to be as well founded
in law as he knows them to be
in fact A public bill was made against
the appropriation contingent of the
navy for 1885, which as the
aot specifies, is for "all emergencies and
extraordinary expenses arising at home
or abroad, but impossible TO be antic-
pated or classified exclusive, etc" This
bill was incurred in entertaining impor-
tant persOnages connected with the New
Orleans Exposition. | was ordered with
the squadron under my command to New
Orleans for the purpose of assisting in
forwarding the success OF the exhibition.
PERSONAL EXPENSES.
This is but small sum compared with
that which my social position required
me to spend. Quite large sum tor sal
aried officials, of the United States was
spent by me and the officers under my
command for entertaining and for re-
turing social courtesies. The expenditure
of this sum was strictly required because
of my official position. 1 claim that it
was of contingent character, and comes
under the head Of extraordinary expenses
arising at home. 1t has been allowed so
frequently under this head that it pre-
sumably has come within the knowledge
of Congress, and has been considered by
them an expense not easily foreseen, and
therefore one that could not be provided
for definitely.
WITHIN THE LETTER OF THE LAW.
1t was thus within the spirit as well as
the letter Of the law, since its approval
by the Honorable Secretary of the Navy,
in accordance with section 1867 OF the
revised statutes. l must also demur to
the manner of disposing of my salary,
and if the bill is incorrect, which | deny,
[ suppose | must be held responsible e
under section 2S5 of the revised statutes
as the officer by whose order the dis
bursement was made. The question now
arises In what manner am l To be held
responsible? | claim that / cannot De
fined at the dietum of the Honorable
Comptroller, but only by the sentence OF
a court martial or a United States court.

STATUS OF HIS SALARY.

There are courts devised to cover such
cases arising in naval affairs, and be-
lieVe that / nave a right TO hold my salary
until deprived of it by due course of law.
ANY other construction of the law would
lead TO an absurdity which should be
avoided If possible in Interpreting the
stBtute, for with the number Of bills which
1 am obliged to approve, and as TO which
l can only be guided by former Interpre-
tations and precedent, a few adverse de-
cisions might render me slave to the
government, forced to serve for years
without compensation. and this before

H. s. JORDAN.

A letter dated "Halawa, Kohala, Hawaii,
II. L., July 80, signed III. 5. Jordan"
appeared in the Chicago 'Tnter- Ocean, Z"
and has been reprinted in this city in
the interest of the Opposition party
The only II. :. Jordan we know Of, and
we assume thatit is the same person, is a
Young clergyman who emigrated from
Shelbyville, Illinois, to this Kingdom,
To take charge OF the foreign church at
Kohala, Hawaii. He arrived at Homo
lulu by the Alameda, May 22d and left
by the Kinau for his ministerial charge
the week following Mr. Jordan was
cordially welcomed, as all ministers Of
the Gospel in good standing should be,
and he left this city with the cordial
wishes of all for his success. 1t appears,
however, that he combines the some
what incongrueus calIings OF minister of
the gospel and newspaper correspondent,
and that in the latter capacity he has
not scrupled to lend the authority of his
name to series Of untruthful attacks
upon the King and his Ministers, and
also upon Colonel Spreckels, OF whom he
eau know nothing personally.
1t is plain from the tone and state
mcnts of the letter that this person,
whose gaberile, ike CaIiban's, covers
two distinct iniiYidualities, has been
imposed upon by persons opposed to the
present regime. Lctit lie borne in mind
that the letter in question was written
exactly two months and seven days
from the time he set foot upon Ha-
waiian soil at Honolulu, and the truth
of our statement will be self-evident
Mr.. Jordan retails the very stale libels
against Mr.. Gibson, the Premier, whose
career on the Islands he purports to
sketch. He attacks Attorney General
Neumann, and says that "Spreckels'
having failed to get him into
Congress, brought him here and
ordered him made Attorney Gen
eneral. Spreckels is really King. King
Kalakaua is only figure-head." And
that from a person in far-of Kohala
after five days residence in Honolulu
and two months and two days of wrest
ling in prayer ut Halawa and elsewhere
Thus ISLANDERS against the King anC
Government are circulated Throughout
the States by the Opposition, who do mo-
scruple to make use OF the facile per
even of a minister OF the Gospel, whose
credulity has been imposed upon tt
his own detriment and the injury of the
country in which he is domiciIed. We
say this pointedly, because it was clearly
impossible for him to know the
points whereof he wrote without prompt
ing

cowboy Fun.

81 shall never forget an experience OF

ago." SAID Brakeman Schultz, of the North
ern Pacific. There were Andrews, the
conductor; Wylie, the engineer; Colby, the
fireman, and myself running No pas
senger on the Montana division, and one
night about dark we were getting out of
engineer, and he stopped the train. Just as
it stopped about dozen cowboys, logged in

more guarded the engine. / knew trouble

The conductor did not at first sesm to real

him, and set him upon the coal box. He

Then they caught me, and tied me and q
passenger back to back, and set us over a

themselves which would pull the other
over. The stakes were put up, and
then two Of them got prongs and began
touching us up with them. The fellow l

Then resorted to a stratagem. and when
they gave the Swede prong and he jumped
about foot, pulled hard and he came fly
ing over the seat, and went so far over that
he nearly broke my back. We were loos-
ened then, and they took the Swede's boots
off and stood him on his head, and then
played the bastinado on the soles of his feet.
