Fraud Coming to Light.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S.-As the in
vestigation of the construction of the new
acqueduct tunnel progresses more fragrant
and criminal appears the fraud. A large
number of holes have been drilled
through the walls OF the brick arch in as
many sections of the tunnel and at but
few points was the work found to have
been done in any particular according to
the contract. On the contrary, there was
in most cases an entire absence of packing
and where found it consisted largely of
loose stones and dry dirt and at best a
miserable preteuse. The house conferees
in the deficiency bill have already agreed
upon a resolution authorizing a Joint con-
gressional investigation, and as soon as
action has been taken by the senate and
house, and committees can be appointed
the work will be begun

Mr.. Bliss Plain Talk.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-One of the most
sensational features of the day happened
after the close of the board when Abel H.
Bliss Of the firm of A. H. Bliss & Co.,
one of the most substantial commission
firms of this city, notified the Corn Ex-
change bank that he would at once with
draw his patronage and deposits. Chas.
L Hutchinson, the president Of the bank,
who is also president OF the board of
trade and is a son of odd Hutch" i'm
mediately sent for Mr.. Bliss and asked
him what was the matter. In reply Mr..
Bliss said.
Any man who runs a corner on the
market and saueezcs the life and blood
cut of the trade is no better than a thief.
Your father, who owns 81 per cent OF the
stock Of this bank, built Just such a cor
ner and | do not consular my money safe
in the hands of a thief. Therefore, l
withdraw my patronage"
Bliss denied that he was a loser by the
corner, Il am not the only one." added
Bliss, who has withdrawn from the bank
because of the old mans unprincipled ac-
tons. | know of at least three who have
pulled out within the past week"
Dlss uecllneu TO state what his patron
age amounted to. but a confidential friend
said the cash deposits of Bliss 4 Co.
amounted to $50, 900. No statement con-
corning the incident could be had from
President Hutchinson, save the intorma-
ton that the Corn Exchange bank
could get along comfortably without the
patronage Of Mr.. Bliss, the deposits of
the institution being a million dollars in
excess of the total a year ago.
During the day "Old Hutch drew out
Of the clearing house a check Of S675, 900
as his profits on the sales made Thursday.
Not only was.the amount OF this check
known, but the names Of ten firms were
freely talked about, each which had de.
posted in the clearing house a check for
$4,000. The reports added to the pre-
vailing excitement, and an official Investi-
CATION as to how the information got out
will probably follow.

Forger Fosters Doings.

New YORK, Sept. 2S.-The excite
ment caused on the produce exchange by
VIM. R. Foster, Jr.s' forgery, was added
to to-day by a rumor that another of the
mortgages has been discovered to be
bogus. Trustee Orr stated that another
mortgage for $4,000 is suspected to be
bugus, but there has not been time to in
vestigate it. This would increase Fosters
stealings to Sl76, 900.
1t is believed that Foster is in Canada.
The fugitive's father will make good his
amour of defalcation.
The SUN stolen is about Is per cent of
the total fund and unless returned each
member will lose about $1,000. Some
members are inclined to think that Foster
is not in his right mind. His income is
at least SO, 600 a year and at his fathers
death he is to receive 81, 900, 900.
1t was said at the produce exchange
this afternoon that it was not likely that
Foster, ST., would make good his sons
losses. Trustees of the gratuitv fund
held a meeting this afternoon to again
examine the mortgages which passed
through Fosters hands. 1t is suspected
the mortgages which in all probability
will be added to the list of bogus ones is
for $25, 900 instead of S., 900.

Another Tascotr.

DENVER, Sept. 2S.-A man answering
the description of Tascott, the Chicago
burglar who murdered Millionaire Smell,
was arrested this morning. The reward
for his arrest is $40, 900.
He has been employed here as a bar
tender for some weeks under the name
of Edward j. Carter. The arrest was
made at the instance of a detective who
followed Carter through Oregon, Wash
ington, California and Nevada.
The police this afternoon released Car
ter on the ground that the resemblance to
Tascott was not sufficiently strong to hold
the prisoner. Carter at once resumed his
position of bartender at the California
wine house.
An hour after being released Carter was
rearrested on a warrant sworn out by o.
ii. Van Vlierden, charging him with
being Tascott and a fugitive from Justice
He was placed in the county jail to await
further developments. The police claim
that while there is Sight hope of resem-
blance between Garter and the description
given of Tascott, they are positive this is
not the man wanted.
Sheriff Weber says there are no grounds
for holding Carter a prisoner. and he will
release him to morrow.

Disgraceful Proceedings.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 2S.-The con-
dition of the three men who we're wounded
in the melee at the rooms of the Republi-
can county committee last night are favor
able for recovery this afternoon with the
exception of Christensen. The cause of
the fracas is yet not fully known, differ
ent theories being given by members of
the different political parties. There
was, however, during yesterday afternoon
and last night seemingly organized efforts
by factions of the lowest classes of the city
styling themselves independent voters to
gain control of the ballot boxes and tear
up or burn the ballots that were cast at
the Republican primaries. Several most
bloody scenes were enacted, but no lives
were lost. In some districts the scenes of
violence exceeded in their rufianly char,
acter anything of the kind ever before
seen in San Francisco.

The FeVar.

JACKSONVILLE. Sept. 2S.-A marked
reduction in the number of new cases and
deaths to-day seems to Justify the hope
that the worst Of the epidemic is over.
Eighty-fve cases were reported to-day, of
which twenty. six were white and fifty
nine colored. Deaths five.
DR.. L. 7. Eddy of Louisville, who was
one Of the first Of the heroic physicians
who responded to the call for medical aid,
sank down at his post to-day.
1t is believed now hat there is no yell
low fever in Florida except at Jackson
vile, Fernandino, McClenny, Sanderson,
Gainesville, Tampa and Manattee.
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 28.-The high
tension of feeling in this community hav-
ing subsidized the city has assumed a tran
quill state. Each day increases the mum
Der of demands for food, and much desti-
tuition is reported. RatiOns will be
forwarded by orders from Washington.
The sick are reported doing well. There
are no new cases and Go DEATHS have
occurred during the past twen;y-tour
hours.

BY Wheat.

New YORK, Sept. 2S.-This afternoon
a notice was posted that the large house
Of Williams, Black & Co. had failed to
meet their mercantile obligations. 1t is
believed that they were on the short side
Of wheat at Duluth and other Western
points, and that their losses outside of
this were immaterial, although they have
represented large interests at nearly all of
the commercial exchanges.
The firm is one of the best known bust
ness houses down town and its credit has
been high. The house was founded in
1866 as a general brokerage concern By
the father of the Williams Bros. The
amount of liabilities could not be learned
to-day. One of the members was seen
and declined to even estim te the amount.
By a disinterested party it was estimated
that they wonld reach into the millions.
A member OF the firm assumed that the
superintendent of his house would settle
in full o.morrow. The failure is CON
nected, it is thought, with the Chicago
wheat squeeze.

The Riotous Italians.

SHERBRooKE, Que, Sept. 2S.-The
striking Italians on the Hereford railroad,
who have fer several days created trouble,
to-day so far have interfered with the
track laying that Col. Cope in charge of
the military ordered bayonets fixed. He
gave the rioters a brief time to reconsider
before charging them. A reconsideration
followed and the men resumed work. Ad-
vices received this evening from the
American end of the road say tina t Ital-
lans armed with gun drove off the sub
contractors and chased them into Canaan,
Vt. Owing to a variety of circumstances
the military have not yet reached the
border. The quickest route is via the
United States, but this of course is i'm
possible to men in the uniform of her
majesty.

A. Defaulter.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-Shurtly after the
board closed to-day a rumor gained cur.
rency on the streets that one of the en-
ployes of the American National bank Of
this city had left the city suddenly with a
large amount of funds. The fugitive is
alleged to have been using the money on
change IN making good his shortages of
cash on September wheat. The sudden
rise in the market, it was asserted, had
cost him not only every cent of his own
hut also a considerable amount belonging
to the bank. The officers of the bank
declined at first TO either affirm or deny
the report.
The troubles of this bank in connection
with the wheat corner of last year at
tempted b. Harper, the wrecker of the
Fidelity, wore recalled and formed the
subject of much talk. Late 10 nigh the
president of the bank authorized the state
ment that there had been a defalration.
but that it wonld not exceed $1,000. and
that the amount would he made good to-
morrow by the cu'prit's friends. The
president refused to give the nau,c OF the

A Very successru, Business.

The encouragement of home industry s
something which everybody doesn't al
ways practice. When, however, the
character of the goods and the quality of
the workmanship will compare with tie
very best obtainable elsewhere, there is
no possible excuse for anyone < away
from home to purchase good ave
in Cheyenne a cigar manutactory which
would be a credit to n town. It's pro
prietor is Frank Boehm, who has Quilt up
frcm a small beginning a thriving and
constantly extending business. He has
done this by the honesty of his goods
and the superior quality of his work man
ship. The article which he puts upon
the market is always exactly what he rep
reseurs it to be, and it is always worth
the full value that he charges for it. Mr..
Boehm has won success bv deserving it.,
and he deserves from the people of Chey-
enne the announcement which their busi
ness would give him
