Charged With Forgery.

CHARLOTTE, Mich. Aug. ELMER
Macarthur, a prominent insurance agent
Of this city was arrested on his return
from Chicago this afternoon by a Pinker-
ton detective and Sheriff Perkins. He is
chaged with forgery. Macarthur is the
local farm agent of the Home Insurance
company, of New York, and in this con
n%ection, it is claimed, have his rascalities
been worked. His modus operandi was
to solicit insurance, say amounting to
5000, send in application for $500; raise
the policy 10 the former figure when the
policy was returned and pocket the diff
ference and the premiums. In addition
to this, it is claimed that he issued a
number of policies on his own RESPONSE
bility, but with the company's stationery
over the forged signature of the company's
officers, pocketing the total receipts and
making no account of the same. He has
in this scheme paid a couple of small
losses from his own pocket. Since his
arrest he has been completely broken
down, and seems to care for nothing, but
only prays that his punishment may come
as speedily as possible, and the prison
walls close around him. His operations
cover a period of two years, but the
amount of risks taken is not known. He
is young. comparatively wealthy, and has
the best of family connections. He has
been popular, and has a beautiful Young
wife, now nearly distracted with grief and
shame. They moved in the highest cir
Giles, the members of which are visibly
affected by his downfall. His Chicago
trip was to effect a settlement with the
western branch of the company, having
heard the storm was brewing, but was un-
successful. He has made a partial con-
fcssion.

Belfast.

BELFAST, Aug. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chief secretary for Ireland, has
written to the mayor of Belfast saying
that the lords justices are seriously con
cerned about the condition OF affairs in
Belfast and consider it imperative that
the most energetic measures be taken to
terminate disorders which are bringing
discord and disgrace upon the town."
The inspector general of Irish constabu-
larry has been ordered to proceed to Bel
fast as promptly as possible. A large
meeting OF the magistracy was held to-
day. 1t appointed an executive commit
tee to take charge of the town and assign
troops and police to various points. All
the taverns in the city have been ordered
to be closed at 6 o'clock this evening and
to remain closed until Monday.
To-night's conflicts we're resumed.
The fighting was the most desperate that
has taken place during the recent troubles.
The mob was infatuated and fought with
savage energy. Fifty persons we're injur-
ed. some OF them it is thought fatally.
Terrible struggles occurred on the Shank
hill road. The police quartered in Nc.
kenna's tavern on Old Lodge road were
attacked bya mo-. with stones and revolvers
and were compelled to FIRE from the windows
of the beleagured house. During this
attack eighteen persons were injured and
were subsequently taken to the hospital.
A youth named Jackson is said to be
dying from injuries. Four policemen were
badly wounded.

The hair of the camel is largely used
all over the world. The under side Of
the neck, the upper part of the legs and
the hump of the animal are covered with
an abundance of woody hair, exceeding
sleeps wool in length, and varying in
color and quality, according to the
species and the climate under which it
lives. The hair varies in quality from a
fneness equal to that of silk to a on
siderable degree of co%arseness. In
quantity it commonly amounts to about
ten pounds annually. In the spring the
animals cast their hair, which is called
down, and is little inferior in f~ineness to
that afforded by some breeds of shawl
goats, while it possesses the advantage
of being much longer and more easily
separated. In the young animal it is
fine and smooth, but with age it becomes
curly and crisp.
The animals are shorn every spring
after the second year, and the hair is
cleaned and assorted for home use, or
export in the raw state. The Arabs,
and other eastern nations, spin it and
weave it into a kind of emi-waterproof
Sio'h WI anu
into tent coverings, Sshawls and carpets.
In Persia very fine stockings are made
from it, the white Nbeing most valued,
and both in Persia aAd Tartary a most
durable, warm, soft and light cloth is
made, patterns being produced by select
ing the naturally colored hair. An
enormous trade is done in artists pencils
made from camel's hair.-Cor. BROOKLYN

LONDON, Aug. THE Sir William
Armstrong Arms Manufacturing com
pany is resortlng to extreme
measures to stop military news
paper exposures of the alleged corruption
of government officials to secure contracts
for the supply Of ordnance. Recently the
company applied to the queen bench for
an injunction to restrain Capt. Armit from
continuing to publish in the admiralty
and Horse Guards Gazette, which he has
been doing every week, fresh allegations
Of the corruption of ordnance officials by
the Armstrong;. The court of queens
bench has Just rendered its decision upon
the petition for injunction. The court
refused to grant the Injunction, and bases
the refusal upon the ground that the
alleged libels fall within the class o "priv-
ileged communications" IF these libels
are true" says the court. ''it is Of the ut
most importance that the country should
be made aware ofthe knowledge they con-
vey." Capt. Armit's object, it is believed,
is to force the government to grant a roy
al commission of inquiry into his charges.

La PORTE, Ind, Aug. 7.-Highday
Fosdick last night shot his wife and then
himself, both dying instantly The crime
was not discovered until early this morn
ing. The couple were married six years
ago, but soon separated, the wife remov-
ing to Ravenswood. Ill. Sunday she re-
turned here to visit friends named Blake
man, and to secure her husbands sigma
ture to some papers connected with d.
vorce proceedings. They met last night
after the Salvation Army meeting. and he
escorted her to her friends house, where
they were left talking at the front gate.
Pistol shots were soon heard. but nothing
was thought of the matter till this morn
ing, when the dead bodies were found by
Mr.. Brakeman on the walk in front OF his
residence, with a bullet hole through the
head Of each. Ii Is claimed Mrs Fosdick
intended to wed a Chicagoan on obtaining

less and treacherous, and had been in sew
eral assault scrapes, one time shooting a
man named Davis because OF his trying to
collect a board bill. He was subject to
fits. which he claimed were caused by a
snake in his stomach. which he asserted
he could feel come up his throat at times.
He often expressed a wish to be cut open
and examined. and oncc visited a Chicago
hospital for that purpose, declaring he
would take nothing. as he wanted to see
the operation. and examine himself.
Some thought him insane. Mrs Fos-
dicks maiden name was Martha Todd.

Monmouth Park Races.

MONMOUTH PARK, Aug. THE races
to day were a g.est disappointment owing
to the weather. The day opened wet and
drizzling. There was serious talk of post
poning the races, but toward moor there
was a prospect of clearer weather. AL
though there was no possibility that the
track would be in anything like a good
condition, it was hoped hat overhead. at
least, it would be clear. But it was driz
zling when the first race was called. and
it never let up for a momeLt, and during
the third and fourth races-the great
events of the day-it rained quite hard.
The people had been looking forward to
this as the great day, and there was a
very fair crowd present. but nothing like
what had been anticipated. In the race
for the Junior championship stakes, there
were but three starters. fremont won
with such ease as to make the contest al
most ridiculous. Until the stretch was
reached fremont remained in the rear,
hut at that point dashed forward with
such rapidity that Kingston and Juliet
Colt seemed almost to be standing still.
This netted about Sll 900 to Dryer
Brothers. The race for the champion
ship stakes was also a walk over, Dew
Drop did not start, and Volante won over
Ben Ali by five lengths.

Probably there is to-day no man in the
country who is a better judge of oysters
than Mr.. 7. w. Wilson, the sole sur
v;vor and representative of an ancient
oyster firm in Fulton market, and there
IL no one better acquainted with its char
acteristics. He is thoroughly familiar
with the subject. He can tell you what
the oyster feeds upon and how it takes
its food. He can point out to you its
gills, its liver, its stomach, its mouth
and its heart. which beats only once a
minute If the oyster has been sometime
out Of water, or if impaired or torn by
opening.
lie may say to you that if a person
noisily approaches an oyster bed
where the oysters are feeding. every
shell will be instantly closed. because
oysters can hear as quickly as a cat; that
the oyster adheres to the shell at
four different points, two on each
section; that a single oyster may
have 60, 900. 900 eggs, and that the
actual bulk or volume of one Of them
would only be about one two hundred
and fifty millionth of a cubic inch. He
may explain to you the cause of the
green color of oysters, and convince you
that they are just as wholesome and well
favored as the whitest oyster you ever
ate. Possibly he may say to you that an
oyster is never fiat, although it may be
plump. This plumpness is owing to a
deposit of matter which it has assimi-
lated and laid away under its mantle"
and it is this delicate, easily digested
substance which renders the oyster SO
wholesome and nutritious. New York

The Anarchists.

Chicago, Aug. The only testimony
Of any Importance this afternoon was that
offs L Ingram and John Burnet. The
forme witness swore that the circular
calling the haymarket meeting, which he
produced IN court, was given him on the
street the night of May 4, shortly before
the meeting took place. The circular was
one OF those from which the words:
'"Workingmen, arm yourselves and appear
IN force. had been omitted This was
the only circular of that kind that has
been presented in evidence by the defense
which has been preserved since the hay
market riot by a witness who was present
AT the meeting.
The state presented as evidence a lot of
circulars taken from the Arbeiter Zeitmq
office, from which the words mentioned
had not been expunged, as the defense
has presented a number of revised ones,
but till now not one of Them had been
traced to the hands of an eye witness of
the riot who had received it from a dis.
tributor.
John Burnet said he was standing about
thirty eight feet south of the entrance to
Cranes alley in the haymarket where the
bomb exploded,
The states attorneys picked up their
ears at once.
Did you see the bomb thrown2
| did.
How did he throw the bomb? Stand
up and show the jury how he did 1t.
Witness stood up and went through the
motion of throwing something into the
air, with his right hand toward the north
west. Witness was then given a picture
of S~chnaubelt.
Is that the mar you saw throw the
bomb?
| don't think it is.
The cross examination was devoted to a
comparison of witness present statements
with those he made to the states attorney
on Nay 7. Since that time witness had
visited the scene of the riot and taken the
measurements of the distances between
the entrance to the alley and where he
stood and where the bomb thrower stood.
He had them carefully entered in a note
book, and they were as nearly the same as
those given the states attorney as could
be expected, taking into consideration
the night was dark and the witness
memory unaided. The state has claimed
that the bomb was thrown from very neal
the entrance to the alley. Burnet's testi-
mony makes the spot further south by
nearly thirty feet. The cross examination
was concluded. after which court ad-
till Monday.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. Thomas G.
Briggs, an insurance agent, lives on a
farm adjoining that of S. s. Totman. in
Sharon township, Medina county. This
morning Totman sent for Briggs to make
out an insurance policy for him. Totman
searched for a pen, but said he could not
find one. Then Briggs offered to go to
his own house and make out the policy
and return to Totman's house so that he
could sign it. Briggs left the house, but
before he had reached the yard gate Tot
man appeared at the door and fired three
shots at him from a 80 caliber revolver.
One bullet lodged in Briggs shoulder, an
other in the abdomen, and the third in
one of his hands. Totman then shot
himself in the left breast, inficting a fatal
wound. Briggs may possibly. recover.
The men were supposed to be the best of
friends, but a letter left by Totman leads
to the belief that Totman had a grudge
against Totman's father, and deliberately
planned the crime Tor revenge. Many
believe that Tutman was insane.
