A MUNlFICENT GIFT.
One Million Dollars for the Education OF
Colored People.


New HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 25.-Daniel
Hand, an aged and wealthy citizen OF
Guilford, near this city, has given to
the American Missionary Associatio Of
New York City the sum of 81 ,00O,OU to
be held in trust by the association, and
the interest to be devoted to the
education of co.ored people in
the old slave states of the
South. The association is to have
unrestricted charge of the expenditure
of the interest, except that 1t must be
devoted to the education of such Colored
such as by their health, strength, vigor
of body and mind give indications of
efficiency and usefulness in after life.
Daniel Hand, the donor of this noble
Gift, was a grocer in Charleston,
5. c., before the war, and being
of Northern sentiment was forced to lily
to the North when the war broke out,
leaving all his property, worth about
sl30, 900, in charge of George w. Will
Jams, his confidential clerk and South
erner. Mr.. Williams used the property
profitably during the war, and
by investment in Southern pine lands
became very rich. Six years ago
Judge Luzon 6. Morris, of New Haven,
counsel tor Mr.. liand, ADVISED the lat
ter to seek settlement with Mr.. Will
Jams. Mr.. Williams came to New Ha-
ven and honorably paid up the original
sum and interest, amounting to S640, COO,
sending on the last installment two
years ago. This amount, with the ac-
rrued interest, forms the great bulk Of
the sum now returned to the South by
Mr.. Hand.
Under the terms of the trust not more
than 500 is to be expended for the edu-
cation of any single colored person.

Henry Albers Goes to Canada to avoi,
Arrest for Forgery.

Arrest for Forgery.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Oct. 30.-Henry +.
Albers, lumber and Goa merchant
has fed to Canada, leaving creditors to
realize on $50 ,000 worth of forged COM
mercial paper which he is said to have
negotlsted.
Aibers was started in business by his
parents with $4,000. Previously he
had been bookkeeper in the bank of
Buffalo. He WAS reckless Spectator,
and Of late has been operating without
much capital. Albers ingratiated him
self into the good graces of a
daughter of Jacob Scheu, rich malt
ster, and became engaged TO her. This
gave him credit at the German bank
and he obtained the aid of Scheu
III financial schemes. Finally he
signed his prospective father-in-
laws name to 5000 worth of paper,
which Scheu made good. Albers then
began wholesale use of SCheu's name
on papers used in the lumber and coal
business, the amount being above $50
600. Last week Albers tried to get S20,-
600 on Scheu's name at the German
Bank but the signature was detected as
forgery.
Albers lived at hotel, dressed styl-
lshly, spent money lavistly and cut
quite swell. 1t is said his brother
drove one of his coal wagons. Scheu Is
brother of Solomon SChru, the Demo-
cratic politician known as an intimate
friend of President cleveland
