Concert.
CHICAGO. H., September pa heavy

Vessel masters whe arrived during the
night state that the storm was terrible
one, and that the sea was running higher
than at any previous time this summer.
Reports have been received of four sch0en-
ers wrecked at various points ON Lake
Michigan, the crews being rescued in each
case. Fears are felt for the safety of a
number Of vessels known to be outside of
port. Two unknown fishermen were
washed from the north pier and drowned
yesterday afternoon. The lookout at the
life saving station saw them walking ON
the pier, and realizing the danger they
were in. signalled them to return. They
paid no attention to his warning, and had
proceeded about fifty yards, when ire
mendous breaker was lifted high over the
pier and descended upon the timbers with
crash carrying the two men away. The
life boat started to the rescue Immediately,
as did also two sailors vino jumped from
vessel lying close by and ran along the pier
i'm hopes of saving the drowning men, but
these brave fellows wee also swept in the
lake and although the boat was Immediate
ly lowered from the vessel and sent to their
assistance they would probably have been
lost but for the Opportune arrival of the
life saving crew. The two fishermen, after
a brief battle with the waves, sank from
sight and, although the life savers made
diIigent search, their bodies were not re-
covered.

phase of the Indiana Township bond
swindle was developed here to-day. Here
tofore it has been generally understood
that these warrants were simply fraudulent,
that they had been issued in payment for

in the proceeds. To-day Edgar Stark,
Cashier of the Cincinnati National
Bank, came to the city, bringing
$500 worth of warrants purport-
ing to be issued by Ernest Kitz, trustee of
the township i'm which his city is situated.
The warrants were submitted 10 the inspec-
ton OF Mr.. kit, and that gentleman at
once pronounced them fOrgeries. The war
rants are Endorsed by r b. Pollard, and
were placed with the Cincinnati Bank as
collateral by c. E. Cook, proprietor Of the
suspended Jennings County Bank of North
Vernon. Mr.. Stark retained firm of law
yers in the interest of his bank, but what

CUSTOMS FRAUDS.

Disclosure Of Trauas In the Under valua-
ton of Goods by New York Importers.
NEW YORK, September 26.-Nmmerous
complaints of evils arising from the under
valuation and appraisement of imported
merchandise melted Secretary Manning a
short time ago to commission three United
States special agents to make an investiga-
ton. The three agents have been at work
here for several days, and whisperings of
extraordinary disclosures are already heard
among the employees Of the custom house
and the Appraisers office. The investiga-
ton is being conducted secretly, and its re-
suits, if made public at all, must first be
filtered through the Treasury Department.
II is not generally known, but three large
importing houses of this city have lately
paid tn the Government more than $3.50, 900
each on reapprasements on goods they had
been accused of undertaking. 1t is prob
able q dozen or fifteen New York firms
will be pressed to pay to the United
States Treasury moneys which tile
Governments agents believe should have
been originally paid in honest duties.
These sums will aggregate S1,000,000. A
widely signed petition is now in circulation
among New York importers asking Con-
gress to substitute specific tariff for the
existing ad valOrem rate, which is subject
to the Interpretation of the several agents.
In his reply to Secretary Manning's letter
regarding the slipping" of Government
baggage inspection by travellers, District
Attorney Dorsheimer says: Il beg to as
sure you that your instructions will be
zealously carried out, and that all the
power OF this office will be used to break
up this perncious and most disreputable
practice. The first person who shall he
found paying an officer money, and the first
officer who shall be found receiving money
i'm cOntraven:ion of the laws will be pre-
sented to the grand jury, and the indict-
ments against them will be promptly
brought to trial"
