ToRoNTo, Nov. pa few days ago a
man giving the name Of Henry Hunter
was arrested here charged with success
fully working the confidence trick on a
newly arrived young Scotchman. Tho
case was remandcd, the police meanwhile
making an investigation. This has re-
suited in the discovery that Hunters real
name is Horace Hovan and that he is
pretty well known to the police OF tho
United States under the name OF Little
Horace" He is one Of the most notorious
and successful bank thieves in America.
The beginning OF his criminal career APP
parcnty was in 1870, when with n
notorious Canadian criminal named Ed
Rice, now in tho penitcn,ary, he robbed
the HALIFAX Bank of $4,000 The money
was returned 10y Rice and he was released
from jail. In 1873 he robbed n Piitsburg
pa. bank Of $4,000, and was sent TO the
penitentiary for three years, soon, how
ever, escaping. In 1873 he was arrested
for robbing Charcslown, Va, bank,
but fcigning sick, was sent to the hospital
and again escaped.
Lille Horace was arrested here together
with companion named VIM. Alexander,
and the two men had devised q most
novel and clcyerschemo for robbing banks.
They had ordered couple Of ordinary
| walkng.cancs, harmless enough in appear.
ancc, but of very ingenious structure. Al
the point Of each cane is a large pair OF
lwcelcrs connected with the handle Of the
cane by spring running IT'S entire length.
The plan sio 90 to the bank, transact some
ordinary business, laying the cane on the
counter with its point toward the teller
As soon rs that official turns his back the
cane comes into contact with n roll Of bill
out oi reach OF mans arm and the
spring is as easily worked to hook few %
tho Hills. The detectives consider II onl

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Dis Sussion of the Tariff Bill to be Re-
sumed To-Day and Continue without
Interruption to a Conclusion.

Interruption to a Conclusion.
WASHINGTON, April 24.-The caucus Of
the Democratic members of the House
last night, called TO consider the limit of
time which should be given to general de-
bate on the tariff bill, brought together
about 100 members Speaker Carlisle and
Mr.. Randall were not present. Represents
tive Cox, of New York, Chairman of the
Caucus Committee, was present and pre-
sided.
Mr. Mills report from the Ways and
Means Committee, that the Republicans
desired ten day sessions, of five hours each,
on side, for general debate, was not
favorably received and led to considerable
discussion in which representatives Scott,
Hooker, Holman and others took part. No
decided sentiment in favor of definitely
limiting debate on the bill was shown; in
fact proposition advanced by Mr. Town
shend to limit the debate to five days on
each side, met with such slight support
that it was at once dropped.
Finally, upon motion of Mr.. Holman,
the following resolution was adopted unsn-
imously:
Resolved, That il is the opinion of this
caucus that discussion of the tariff bill
shall be resumed tomorrow and continued
to a conclusion to the exclusion OF other
business, except that night sessions be
held, and if not required for debate on the
tariff, be employed in current legislation,
the direction heretofore given, touching
an amicable arrangement as to. time of de-
bate on the tariff bill to continue in force.
The caucus then at 9:45 p. m. adjourned.

Queer Fi,s and starts.

The fits and starts-using these words in
their literal meaning-of the nervous peo-
pie often strike the behoider as ludicrous.
The nerves of hearing of such unfortunates
are painfully acute. and impinged by unex-
pected noises, lead them sometimes TO per-
form antics worthy of jumping jack. At
the root of nervousness, In most Instances,
Is nOnassimilatiOn of the food, and conse-
quently innutrition of the nerves as of the
other tissues of the body. This prolonged
Is of course, productive of serious nervous
disease. The remedy is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, that invigOrates the stomach
and enables it to perform its functions
properly. Soon after commencing course
of it, it will be fUund that the nerves grow
more tranquil by day, nightly repose be-
comes less interrupted, and appetite more
vigorous and satisfying. These are the in
itial indications. followed by the complete
restoration of nervous yigor The Btters
also cure fever and ague, liver complaint

AIEADING CHURCHMAN
Proves to be an Embezzling Cashier and
Wife Deserter-A Sensational Case.

Wife Deserter-A Sensational Case.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, April 24-Samuel
Whitney, who for the past two years has
been one of the most prominent men of
this city, a person of large means and one
of the leading churchmen of the place, has
been arrested here. About two years ago
Whitney came here a perfect stranger, but
supplied with 8 large amount of ready
money, which he said he was desirous of in
vesting He had remained here only few
days when he purchased an interest in the
grocery firm Of Ramsey & Co. A short
time ago, firing of the grocery business, he
sold out his interest to his partners and
bought full partnership in the real estate
and money lending firm of Catlin & Co.
While with Ramsey & Co. he Joined the
Baptist Church, and was a regular attend
ant at the services, besides giving literally
to the support of the minister. His up
right life soon caused him to be regarded a.
one Of the best citizens of this place, and
his wealth gave him such an influence in
money circles that he was considered one
of the leading men of the city. He was
bachelor when he arrived, but was soon at
tracted by the beauty of prominent soci-
ETY. young lady and few months ago lie
be came engaged TO her.
A short time ago, Marshal Barrett re-
ceived letter from the superintendent Of
police of Baltimore, saying that they were
looking for William Spurgeon, formerly a
confidential clerk in a private banking
house of that city, who had embezzled a
large sum of money and fed, leaving hia
wife and three children behind him. At
first no trace could be found of the de-
faulter, but at last the detectives ascer-
tanned that he had gone west, and by care
fully following up the clue, they had
finally located him in Springfield in the
person of Whitney Marshal Barrett
after some correspondence, satisfied himself
that Whitney was really the defaulting
Baltimore clerk and arrested him. Whit
ney refused TO talk about his case further
than to say he is confident that he will
come out all right, and was about 10 start
for Baltimore when arrested
