ATTORNEY GENERAL TAGGABT has al
ready introduced at least one reform in
the administration OF his Office. The
Lansing Republican pays him deserved
recognition and alludes 10 the change re-
ferred to ia the following paragraph:
after two terms OF faithful aud efficient
service as Attorney General, A. J. Van
Ripper retired 20 the walks OF private life
on Jan I. and his successor. Moses Tag
CERT, assumed the duties OF the position.
The latter Is well-knowu throughout the
State FOR bis eminent legal ability, and in
his new field of labor has already shown
that he believes that public business
should be conducted in business-like
way In local or personal actions that
may be brought 20 the Office for prosecu-
tion, which are OF a local character. and
in which tho State il not directly inter-
ested. Il has been customary for parties
desiring to prosecute. to bring suit IN the
name of the Attorney General, as is pro-
vided for under the general statute. At
torney General Tsggart proposes in future
that some person having a knowledge

statement verifying the allegations set
forth before be will authorize the use ol

FERD WARDS SCHEME.
The Suggestion Made that He Borrowed 1t Of
Mrs. Glenn.

indianapolis Special to Chicago Tribune.
The recent publication in Bradstreet's of a con
nected account of the scoundrelly operations of
Ferdinand Ward in Wall street has suggested an
ingenious theory to local newspaper man re-
specting the source whence Ward obtained the
idea or his scheme. 1t is this: The famous
Glenn murder was perpetrated here at Indianapo-
lis, in September, 1868. The trial, which made
1t cause celebre, began at once and dragged on
in other trials for years. 1t was developed that
Mrs Glenn borrowed money, beginning small,
say about the amount of membership in the
Produce Exchange, $500, with which Ward
first began. This she pretended she invested
in mysterious way that returned fabulous
profits, enabling her to pay as much as
70 per cent for the use of the money for short
time. This she would pay; would also pay back
the principal, and on the confidence thus estab-
lshed borrow still more. SO she extended her
operations to many shrewd moneyed men, and
to the amount of tens of thousands of dollars
A man named Young was her stalking horse or
hgurehead in these transactions borrowing most
of the money. Whether he, too, was her dupe
was never known. 1t was known that he accu-
muated nearly 800 900 in cash by the style Of
operations mentioned, and had it with him He
and his wife were murderedwhen out driving with
Mrs Glenn, and the money disappeared. Ward
visited here in Indianapolis for year in 1869
and 1870 Upon his credentials he was received
into good society and cut swath as a beau
During the whole of his visit this Glenn murder
trial was going on, and the revelation of Mrs
Clems methods was made Those methods
were the topic OF conversation in every house
hold not child in the community old enough
but what knew of them. Ward to certainty
must have known of them thoroughly. Soon
after he began life in New York and began the
clever system of borrowing money at enormous
profits for alleged investment in fabulously pros
porous schemes, and so built on the confidence
established. If he didn't draw his inspiration
from the Glenn system, then this is simply most
extraordinary coincidence in this very extraordi-
nary case.

effect to benefit tho few hungry Office seekers
