fail. The Westerner thereupon surrcn-
dered his arms on condition that they be
packed In the yalise with the money.
Davis consented. The bargain was com
pleted, the panel slidlopen, and the heavily
guarded Westerner went home minus his
money and his weapons. Indeed, IL IS
said, that one OF the crooks who went
down TO see him safely on board Of the
train, stole his gold watch aud chain
"Another schcmc,'i said the Official Gin
which Tom Davis cxcellcd, was the horse
cur swindle. The victim would he given
satchcl containing $4,000 TO $4,000.
after he had paid his money, and told TO
hurry out of The city. But Davis would
tell him that he would probably be ar
rested while carrying the satchel, and, rs
he knew every one In town, would
carry II for him TO the depot.
Both would then get on car and few
minutes later a stranger would board the
car with the same kind OF satchel. The
satchcls could, OF course, be easily
changed, and when the victim reached
home he would discover that his satchel
CONTAINED the CUSTOMARY BLANKS.
In order to give the victim the opinion
that the crooks had acted squarcly with
him he would discover that hole had
been cut In the cover of the satchcl, and,
II as crcdulous as such men are said TO be,
he was ready 10 believe anything, and he
would come TO the conclusion that some
train thief had robbed him" Davis was,

but this house at No. 2Gl Broadway
did not pays principally, 1t is said, be-
cause situated az IL was in the business
center OF the city. Business men around
noticed his peculiar visitors and he was
afraid TO work enough OF his games to re-
munerate his labor. lie therefore went
up on Canal street, and afterwards estab-
lishcd den on Carmnc street. There,
too, he lost money. There is story cur
rent 10 the effect that Mcguire bounded
Davis and threatened him with exposures
of various crimes, although there may be
no truth In the story, yet in the opinion
of police officials Davis left bunko steer
ing to turn reluctantly to the sawdust
business.

strange Disease Raging Among the In.
lnbitants of Clay County.
WHEELING w. Va, Sept. "A panic
prevails in that part OF Clay County lying
along Sycamore Creek, arising from the
rayages of Il strange and fatal idiseasc
among the few inhabitants of that region.
About fifty people have been attacked, of
whom score have died, and the death
rate promises to increase with great
rapidity. The Weekly Press says.
"Evcry hour brings the sad news of
another death. At first the malady wns
thought to he ilnN, but II is now believed
to be another and more fatal disorder.
A vague, horrible fear has begun to ill
the breasts OF some. 1t may not be chol.
era, but the symptoms are very much like
IT.. An instance of the fatal effects of the
disease is afforded by the family of JUS
lice Sizmorc, well known citizen,
Three of his sons are already dead, and
as they lay in their collins, three more
were writing and screaming with the
awful torture which carried off the others.
We have been unable Co learn the exact
number OF deaths, but the reports are
most alarming, 1t IL chiefly confined to
children, who are attacked and die within
an hour, seemingly paralyzed with palms,
The Sycamore Creek region is very
sparsely settled with class of hardy
mountaineers, and, as the region is one
OF pure water and healthy mountain air,
the outbreak seems unnccoumtable. The
symptoms seem TO suggest the terrible
disease that last year rayaged number
OF counties IN the extreme Southwestern
part of this state and one or two over the
line In Kentucky.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Communicated by the Pilot Chart for
December.
Interesting Account of the Use of Oil
to Diminish Violence of Break
ing Seas.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o.-The Pilot Chart fol
December, issued by the photographic Office
contains important information in regard to the
various meteorological changes and condition to
be expected on the North Atlantic, and the posi-
tions. of floating wrecks that have been reported
from time to time. The most notable wreck is
that of the schooner Twenty-one Friends, first
sighted in March, 1885, near Cape Hatteras, and
having been carried along by the Gulf Stream,
was last seen near the coast of Europe. In the
same vicinity is the Bertha, pursuing the same
general course. The value of the Cape Horn
route to Japan for vessels leaving the coast OF
the United States during the months OF August,
September, October and November is again sug-
gested.
Accounts of the use of oil to diminish the vio-
lence of breaking seas embrace eleven state
ments forwarded by the Secretary of the Marine
Board of South Australia, each being brief
narrative of the experience of its writer. The
following by w. G. Whitmore, pilot, of Adelaide,
is a fair examples
'.The first time sIw the soothing effect of oil
on the sea was in the year 184S, when serving my
time in a whaling ship in Davis Straits | nave
there seen ships lying to in a gale OF wind. cut
ting up whale alongside, and the sea for circle
of many miles was quite smooth, caused by OIL
from the whale My next experience was in 1868.
| commanded ship bound from Newcastle to
Melbourne, and when off Sydney Head encoun-
tered terrific gale followed by tremendous
sea, my ship making great deal of water, and
found it necessary to run for harbor OF safety.
After getting the ship before the wind, the heavy
sea that was running sometimes broke over the
stern to the danger of ship and crew. then
tried OF, but my manner OF using it in the first
place was wasteful and Of no effect, as tried it
with bottle and jerked it out through hole in
the cork but found it blew abont the stern of
the ship and not in the sea. / then tried an oil
bag, putting about one half gallon of oil in the
bag, tying the neck tight and towing it aStern of
the ship. After short time the effect was won
derful, for what was a very heavy running and
dangerous sea was reduced by the use of oil into
what seamen would call blind rollers and quite
harmless to the ship"

CHARGED WITH BRIBERY.
a Prominent New York Official I'm
der Arrest


NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Late this afternoon
a bench warrant was issued by Recorder
Smyth for the arrest of Major General Alex
ander Shaler. The General is charged with
bribery in connection with the purchase of
armory sites. He was arrested at this house
about $50 this evening and locked up. The
arrest was effected by Inspector Byrnes who
was accompanied by Detectives Steyin and
Reilly. The General made no protest but
promptly accompanied the officers to the
police Headquarters where he is now COM
fined. Gen. Shaler is president of the board
of health and is major general in command
of the 1st Division of National Guard. he
was also secretary of the armory board
which chose the sites of the armories recent
ly built. The other members of that board
were ex-Mayor Edison and Herbert Q.
Thompson. Gen. Shaler charged with
bribery in connection with the purchase of
armory sites, and his arrest is a result of the
investigation of this subject by a committee
of the State Senate. Gen. Shaler has through
out the course of the investigation of this
committee denied that he ever received or
was influenced in any way in the choice of
the sites for armOry properties. In his testi-
mony to-day before the Gibbs committee,
Monmouth 3. Wilson emphatically said that
by an arrangement with Shaler after effect
inc the sale Of the Schell and Fairchild prop
erty to the armory board at figures greatly
in excess of what the property could have
been bought for at private sale he had paid
owned by Gen. Shaler in New Jersey and
had handed satisfaction prices to him
(Shaler) after the Gibbs committee begun its
investigation Gen. Shaier handed the
papers back to him with a request that they
be destroyed which was done.

beginning of July, 1884, Morrow told me that he
would get me position in the Department of Ag
riculture, where should have nothing to DO but
collect the salary twice a. month and give it to
him. For doing this he promsedto increase my
salary as bookkeeper in his Office, but he never
raised it cent and kept putting me off. On July
Is. | received my appointment from Chief Clerk
Carman who was at that time acting Commission

Information Wanted.

To the Editor of tie Press:
A prominent clergyman of this city in a
recent public address which contained much
that was very valuable and accurate and
which was admirably delivered to an intelli-
gent audience made in substance the follow
ing statement:
That had John Wesley been Calvinist
rather than an Arminian, Professionalism
would have been no more He also said in
substance, that the Methodist church had
more than any other church reached the peo-
pie, and that the lower classes especially
were controlled by its influence more than
by any other church.
On the same Sabbath on which this dis
course was delivered, there were services
held in two Catholic churches in Portland,
and at these churches there were more peo-
pie in attendance during the day than in all
the other churches in Portland put together.
VIII our lecturer kindly refer to these
criticisms on some of his after evenings, that
we may see who is right in the matter.
