Arr..stssl Tor Thief.

Schwartz Kopf, the secretary Of the
United States commission for the Belgian
exposition, who went to Brussels with let
tiers of introduction to Prince De Chemay.
minister of foreign affairs, and to M. De
Moreau, former minister of public works,
from the Belgian minister at Washington,
and who has been received and entertained
by the best society of Brussels. has been
arrested on the charge of stealing dia-
mond necklace from M. Bardt, a Partisan
ieweler, in 1886, and for numerous swind-
ling operations committed between 1881
and 1882 in France and Belgium. Schwartz
Kopf is a fine looking man of 35, and led q
very luxurious life at Brussels. He had,
subsequently to his swindling operations,
gone to America and become naturalized.
This he thought sufficient to protect him
from arrest for his former backsidings,
but his arrest proves the contrary and
causes sensation in Brussels society.

Another Enoch Arden.

Patrick Minturn, who kept a saloon on
the corner Of Tenth avenue and Forty first
street, New York, disappeared two years
ago. A month later his wife identified a
bundle of clothes at the morgue as having
belonged to her husband, and body was
disinterred from the pottersfield on which
was the clothing marked with Minturn's
initials. On the wife's evidence and that
of an alderman, Mrs. Minturn was paid
81 500. insurance. on her husbands life.
She refurnished and decorated the saloon
and ran it for some months, until her
second marriage. 10 one ever suspected
the original Patrick Mlnturn of having
Enoch Arden tendencies. But Patrick was
just that kind of man, and three weeks
ago he walked into the saloon and demand
ed its possession and also his wife.
Neither was given up at once, but it is said
that the matter will be amicably settled
without resorting to law.

A Murderous omcer.

Police Officer Joseph Barrett, of Elk
hart, Ind, Saturday afternoon shot and
instantly killed brother officer named
VIM. Burton. Barrett had been on the
force for several years, but that day Mayor
Goldthwaite reprimanded him for drunken
ness. At night in a spirit of revenge, he
waylaid the mayor and gave him severe
whipping. Next morning he was bound
over In bonds and after the trial an attempt
was made to arsest him on a new charge.
This he resisted and pulling his revolver
he began to empty it. The second shot
pierced Buttons brain and the three sue
ceeding shots slightly wounded as many
bystanders. The man then took refuge in
a saloon and the citizens at once began to
take steps which looked toward his lynch
ing, but the prompt interference of the
mayor and other policemen saved his life.
He was at once taken to Goshen for safe
keeping.

Murder and Arson.

Daniel Sellers and wife, living near
Mount Gilead, Ohio, were murdered and
their farm house fred by the perpetrators
of the CRIME. Their daughter and the
hired man were awakened about o'clock
in the morning by the smoke before the
flames had gained much Roadway. They
escaped and finally succeeded in getting
the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Sellers ont.
Both were dead. The mans head had been
burned off, but the woman's skull had
been crushed and her jaw broken. The
coroner held an inquest and decided that
both had been murdered. Sellers was
very wealthy and was in the habit of keep
ing money in the house. 1t is therefore
supposed the murder was committed by
burglars. There is great excitement in the
vicinity of Mount Gilead and parties have
been organized to search for the murder

Has a BANK Iseen swlndled?

At the United States mint at Philadel-
phia some metal purporting to be gold was
received from the west. 1t resembled in
shape the ordinary bars of that metal.
and in appearance it looked something
like; but when it was placed in the hands
of the assayer that official was not mo-
ment in deciding that it was spurious and
of little value. A closer examination de-
yeIoped the fact the bar was made Of base
metals. A bar Of gold of the same size
would be worth $35, 200. Superintendent
Fox would not disclose the name of the
party from whom the bar was received, but
has telegraphed to the senders that it was
spurious. A whisper was heard in another
direction that a western bank had been
imposed upon by swindlers, and that it had
made an advance upon the bar.

work of Texas Highwaymen.

The Mexican Central passenger train
due at Ell Paso at 7:25 in the morning, was
held up sixty-two miles below that place
at 4:3O Wednesday morning by three
masked men. They came on the engine
over the tender, and at the point of a six
shooter forced the engineer and fireman to
stop the train and get off. They divided
the train, and left the passenger cars and
ran on six miles, when they again stopped
and robbed the express car, getting over
$4,000. Express Messenger M. T. Villegas
jumped out of the car at the side door
while the robbers were breaking the end
door and ran off in the darkness with the
keys of the safe, thus preventing the
robbers from getting the valuable contents
of the safe. The robbers then came on
with the engine nearly to Juarez and then
abandoned it. They cut the telegraph
wires, and it was nearly s o'clock before a
telegram was received at Juarez telling of
the robbery. The men we're Americans
and are supposed to have come across the
river, but there is no clue to them.

The Northwestern Miller, in its last is
sue, says: The mills ground few thou
sand barrels less last week than the week
before. The total flour output for the
week ending October 20, was $50, 200 bar
rels--averaging 3O,O33 barrels daily
against 1877. 900 the week before, and 175,-
500 for the corresponding time in 1887.
There is no particular change in tine oper-
alive condition of the mills. Twenty one
of them, the full available capacity, are
being operated rs strongly as possible, as
freight rates are to be advanced cent s
per barrel on October %, and millers are
anxious to get out every barrel they can
before that time. There are occasional
break downs, however, causing the un-
fortunate mills to stop few hours a
day, and this cuts into the grand total.
The mills, too, are using new wheat
pretty largely and this helps to keep
some Of them from making big
runs. There is no special change
in the -four market, there being very little
demand from any source. The mills gem
orally report enough orders on hand to
keep them going not over two weeks more,
and the new business coming in is much
under the current production. On this
account there are some who talk of the out :
put falling off soon. Export trade contin :
ues lifeless, foreigners usually bidding SO
far below the views of local millers that
are gwen them little attention. The ac-
ceptance of a few minor orders for bakers
is reported, one being for LOGO sacks at
2Ss Cd for Glasgow. Another was for a
small lot at 29s Sd for London. Asking
prices London &. i. f., $50 pound sacks, are
Patent, ass; bakers, Dos; low grades, lbs.
The direct exports for tine week show an
increase, but 5000 barrels or more went to
Canada. The weeks exports were 29.80O
barrels, against 10000 for the preceding
week.

The Cattle Crop.

John Todd, president of the Suffolk
Land and Cattle company, of San An
tonic, Tex, says: aThere will be short
age in the cattle this year in the south
western country because SO many cows
and immature beeves were sold during the
spring, when good prices prevailed. There
will be a shortage anyway from other
causes. The big packers in Chicago know
this and thought it had come last July.
ALI of them had their buyers in the south
west bidding for cattle at prices with
which local buyers could not compete.
They were mistaken then, but the short
age is bound to come. It is not only in
range cattle, but among the feeders in the
states. The calf crop, which is the real
source of all our profit, you know, is very
short this season, owing to the dry weather

THE DIRECT ROAD TO WEALTH
OR HOW TO MAKE A
FORTUNE.

Corr, N. c., July 81, '8S.
All people wish to make money, no
matter what their profession, and it is
the duty of all to provide ample means
against all future need. Every per-
son can do so, or at least the majority.
The foundation to an ample fortune
does not consist in having a large
capital to commence with, for the
most of our solid men commenced
without a dollar; how have they &C
cumulated their large fortunes? Never
by hard work with their own hands.
A man may work hard day and night
and live in the plainest manner, as
regards food and clothing and the
comforts of life and they will scarcely
have enough when death comes to
square their debts, pay their doctors
bill and burial expenses. Why? Be-
cause they let their work push them
instead Of pushing their work. No
one man in a thousand ever accumu-
lated a fortune by his own hard labor;
it has always been by hiring others at
low wages, and thus the hard labor of
many has made him rich; but most of
those who are wealthy made the most
of their fortunes by traffic of some
kind. We do not condemn hard work;
we do not despise the hard laboring
man; we wish to make his labor more
productive. How can we do this :?
By acting as a unit" for "united we
stand; divided we fall" In union
there is strength" Remember DR..
Abernathy's advice: "Live on six
pence a day and earn it." Take a
hint from Tom Hyer; he used no to-
bacco, coffee, tea, liquors, spices or
stimulants of any kind while training
for the great fight with Yanky Sulli-
van.
No person can accumulate wealth
or retain it long unless bad habits are
abolished. "Tears and regrets never
pay debts" Resolve and act; rise up
from thy ~slothfulness, shake off this
nightmare and go forth and view
