AN OUTRAGEOUS sWINDLE.

Laborers Decoyed Away BY Hundreds On
aPromise of Employment,
CHICAGO, August 28.-One or more en-
ployment agencies in this city have adver-
tised of late for large numbers Of laborers to
90 10 Manitoba, to work on the Canadian
Pacific Railway. The statement is given
currency here to-day that vast numbers Of
laborers have been recently shipped into
that far-away region only to discover that it
was impossible to procure work there.
They declare that this shipping OF laborers
into that locality results only in great dis
app ,iutment and distress to the victims
of what they lock upon as an organized 8 vim
die. In a published statement, Frank
Mccarthy, Of Eau Claire, says Of the ad-
tuIss Of 100 men who we're taken out by
AZ agent: Nobody would give US work
of any kind only portion could even get
shoveling. The contractors said they knew
nothing about u.s. We had great difficulty
in getting back over the 1900 miles to
Winnipeg, but managed 10 get passes as far
as Winnipeg. There were about 300 OF US
back in Winnipeg by July ,, with no pros
pect at all of work of any kind. The pub
lie authorities fed US until August 2, when
We had to look out tor ourselves. Only
paratively few of US could get away.
Some of my companions pawned their
watches and tools to get money to get back
to Eau Claire.

To iFs Editor Of ths RsgiIisr:
CLAREsBURG, W. Va, August PSI Just
returned to town yesterday and had my at
tention called to the article in the News"
commenting upon the REGIsTEEs account
of the Osborne affair. In what manner the
reports from this place to you were wan
ton and cold blooded," cannot conceive,
know your correspondent and know he
would not write wantonly upon any subject
The truth Of the matter is all the reports
sent out were substantially correct and con-
tanned every fact Of Importance connected
with the unfortunate affair, aud the RsGIs-
TER, understand was generally sought af-
ter on account Of the full reports it con-
contsired.
While am writing wish to say that the
Democrats heresOouts are much annoyed
by reason OF the dilstoriness displayed in the
appointment Of deputy collector for this
section. Of course the Democrats Of this
county want the sPpoin.ee selected from
Harrison, but if one of our workers is not to
have it, then it is the earnest wish of many
that the Radical who now occupies the
place be removed and Democrat-no mat
ter from what sec,ion-be put in his place.
Let prompt sciion be taken. HARRISON.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
The Midnight Murder of Two Policemen
by BURGLARS.

The Midnight Murder of Two Policemen
by Burglars.
CHICAGO, August 28.-A myster GUS dou-
Ole murder was committed about II o'clock
last night at Geneva, Kane county, Ills, the
victims being two Of the three officers who
constitute the police force of the town. The
deed was committed right in the center OF
that quiet place near the Court House, and
some dozen shots were heard by the resi-
dents OF the neighborhood, given in quick
succession, at about midnight, but no one
left bed to find ont the cause of the tur-
moil, and it was reserved for party OF
merrymakers, returning from picnic at
about ! o'clock, to find the bodies of the
murdered men and raise the alarm.
Officer McNstt was found dead with q
bullet hole in the region of the heart; his
revolver, with FIVE of its chambers empty,
was lying near him. McNstt lay at the
southeast corner of the Court House, and
several rods away on the sidewalk, was
found Officer Grant, also with bullet hole
in the breast, but on the right side, still
breathing slightly but unconscious, aud the
last lite sparks fast dying out. He was
taken home, few blocks distant and died
on the way.
There is as yet no clueto the perpetrators
of the crime, but it is surmised that both
officers died in the discharge OF their duty.
There have been several attempted burgla
RES in the town of late the last one occur
ring but night or two before. 1t ia sup
posed that last night the officers discovered
The burglars either at work or leaving the
scene oftheir unlawful activity, and that in
their attempt to arrest them, the officers be-
ing separated, the fatal shots were fred by
he thieves.
Grants pistol was found near his side,
four chambers being empty. Both murdered
officers have excellent regulations. Both
the deceased leave large families.
The possibility that their death was due
TO quarrel between themselves is preclud-
ID by the fact that they we're good friends;
lat ibey we're seen late in the evening in
auic able intercourse and that their bodies
erre fund quite distance apart from each

account for advances amounting to $780,
III. Judge Williams, Third Auditor of the
Treasury, has several times requested him
to forward his accounts for examination,
but 60 far Mr.. Norris has not taken the
slightest notice OF his letter. In making
his last formal request the Auditor called
Mr.. Norris attention to sections 1922 and
5,49l of the Revised Statutes, which re-
quire that all officers who hold public funds
for disbursement shall render q monthly
account within ten days after the eXplra
ZION Of each successive month, aud provides
that officers who fail to comply with this
requirement shall be deemed guilty of em-
bezzlement and subject to fine and impris-
onment. This letter, it is said, has pro-
duced no better effect than its predecessors
and officials are in somewhat Of squandary
as to how to proceed, There are no impu-
t,uoi s g. ioIt..Norrls' official integrity.
