a ROgue's Escape.

a ROgue's Escape.
NEW YORK, December SWIM. A.
Bushnell, who ten years ago was book
keeper for the law firm of Butler, Still
man & Hubbard, of this city, has been
arrested in Santiago, Chilli, and will be
brought to New York for trial on the
charge of stealing and hypothecating
securities which the firm paid $50, 900 to
recover when the theft was discovered.
The arrest of Bushnell brings to light an
intricate problem upon which Inspector
Byrnes and his men have been working
for long time.
On March 10Th Inspector Byrnes re-
ceived letter from F. W. Jones, of this
city, General Manager of the West Coast
Telephone Company of South America,
enclosing a photograph OF one Gerald F.
Hanson, who, while acting as general
agent of the company in 1886 and 1887,
embezzled $4,000 1t was thought Han
son had once lived in New York, and
Mr.. Jones wanted his antecedents
looked up. Hanson had lived
for seven years in Santiago and
had become one of it's most
distinguished citizens when he vas given
a position of trost by the Telephone
Company. When his embezzlements
were discovered he was arrested, but i'm
mediately released on bail. Jones
stated that he was so popular that his
con viction was doubtful. After six
months of careful search it was finally
learned that Hanson and Bushnell were
one and the same man.
The records of the New York District
Attorney revealed the old indictment
against Bushnell. Extradition papers
were taken. On November Sd Detective
Sergeant Reilly started for South Ameri
ca. He reached Santiago December 9th
The criminal proceedings in Chill were
abandoned and to-day, after search O
week, Reilly telegraphed: "Have ar
rested" The detective will be obliget
to keep his prisoner under the English
or American flag. He will sail under thu
former to the Bay of Panama and wal
for steamer foi San Francisco.

pie of the cargo of sugar which arrived
here Oh the steamer Wesmeath from
Java for the American Sugar Refinery,
and was seized by the customs authori-
ties yesterday, was placed in the hands
Of chemist to-day for analysis. A small
quantity was also sent to the Secretary Of
the Treasury at Washington for analysis
there. An order was issued to-day allow
ing the importers to unload the cargo Of
sugar, but it will remain in the custody
OF the custom house officers until the
question of the rate Of duty to be charged
en- it is settled.
PRESIDENT WEIGHS STATEMENT,
Andrew Welch, President OF the Amer
lean Sugar Refinery, said to-day, in re-
gard to the carqo of sugar received here
from Java, and now held by the customs
authorities "We have received no off
cial communication ON the subject, why
or wherefore our sugars are held by the
Collector. All We know is that the APP
praiser thinks that this lot of Java sugar
has been mixed with some foreign matter
to lessen the grade. Upon the arrival
of the Westmeath We paid the duty on
the cargo according to the description
contained in our invoices from Java, and
executed bonds amounting to S400 600. |
This action Of the Collector will result in
our having 70 discharge our entire staff |
OF workmen on Monday morning. l am
told SIX weeks will elapse before any
definite decision will he reached on the |
matter, and by that time our men will |
have lost $4,000 in wages. 1t would |
not matter much if we had raw sugar to |
work on, but no sugar is coming in from |
the Hawaiian Islands and We shall have |
to shut our refinery. If this sugar has |
been artifcialy colored to bring it |
to the grade of Is standard, |
our company knows nothing about it. | |
have three chemists working on an
analysis of the sugar, and am satisfied |
no artificial or fraudulent matter will he |
found in the sugar. If the chemists are |
satisfied the sugar is fraudulently adul- |
terated, We will stand by the decision"

Interesting Facts About the Yields Of
the Maritime Provinces Closed to
uS by Prohibitive Duties

a Halifax letter TO the New York
Times, Jan. 10. 1888, saws The coal
famine, the eVer-rccurring troubles in
pennsylvania, anG the prominence of
free coal III tariff discussions make
the coal fields within easy reach Of the
United States of unusual interest. At
tentlOn has recently been called to the
coal deposits along the line of the
Canadian Pacific railroad, and very
likely they may yet have great import
ance to the \ northwestern States OF the
Union, but they can never compete for
the coal trade of the manufacturing
centres of the East. To the great
northern cities on the American sea-
board the only Canadian coal deposits
OF direct interest are those of the mari
time provinces, and they have an I'M
portance that is not fully realized.
The New England market is especially
concerned with Nova Scotia's coal pos
sibilities, and will be most affected by
a change in the trade relations. brt the
quality of Canadian coal and its low
cost make its availability also uues-
ton OF concern to New York manu-
facturerS and TO the railroad and steam
ship managers of all the seaboard
States, The question is. can the
provinces supply economically any
considerable part of the 1000, 900 tons
of coal burned every year in North
America. Let the facts answer.
The most important of the coal fields
IN the province of Nova Scotia is
that IN the Island of Cape Breton,
about the Bay Of Sydney. on the
Eastern Shore. The greater part of
this field is under the Atlantic, but
fortunately nearly all the seams can
be worked far out beneath the ocean,
and many Il miner tolls under the
waves The seams are very peculiar
in shape, and long puzzled the geolo-

Born "Brattan" and the Times
have laid the flattering JUNCTION to
their souls that the JOURNAL cared
who ''Brattan' was, is or will be.
Our criticism was directed to bis
slosh around matters he manifestly
knows nothing about not at all as

But they have organized a great

LOCAL HAPPENINGS


The Burton and Georges CreeIt VaI-
ley Coni -Encountering Mr..
Owen Hitchins, resident superintend-
ent and representative of the Barton
and Georges Creek Valley coal compa-
ny, Il few days ago, the Journal re-
marked that the recent organization
of the company and speedy develop
ment of its property had attracted
more than usual newspaper attention
and popular comment. He said
eyes; the organization of an enter
prise of this character is always and
naturally II topic of discussion. In
this instance and particularly in the
locality Immediately concerned, the
acquisition and development of poop
erty of acknowledged value is sub
ject in which the majority of people
feel more than ordinary interest. In
this particular regard it means per-
manent EN- mployment to Il large body of
good, thrifty workingmen, whose in
dustry and prosperity bring steady ad-
ditions to the general wealth of the
community. None understand this
better than the intelligent, thinking
portion of the people, and, as | said
before, it Is natural for them to talk
about it,"
"There are, of course, Mr.. HitchinS, :"
said the JOURNAL, "many details in
volving means, values and expectations
of your company not yet given to the
public. Would you object to affording
the JOURNAL all such information ?"
''Certainly not; but an interview of
this character, to be complete. should
comprehend all we have to say,
whether any portion has been publish
ed or not"
"Well, then, as to your equipment for
shipping coal ?"
SIN speaking Of this department of
our business, AS in all others, we do
not wish to be understood as in the
slightest degree disparaging the faclli-
ties Of our fellow-shippers in this re-
gion. When we say, therefore, that
they are equal to the best in the region
we mean that they have been laid out
and constructed upon improved plans
suggested by general experience,
and because everything is new. For
instance, take our mining cars. They
seem," you say, double the size of
those ordinarily in use in this region"
Well, in constructing them we have
simply followed the lead Of the trunk
lines of railroad in this respect. They
have found economy in doubling the
size of their cars, and what is economy
for them in transportation holds good
with us"
"What is the extent of this tract of
coal land Mr.. Hitchins ?"
at comprises four Military Lots"
averaging fifty acres each. Also the
tract known as "Carlos,' containing
ffty-two acres-all lying nearly ON the
line between the Borden Shaft prop
erty and Homecoming"
lis the entire body underlaid with
the big vein Georges Creek coal ?"
"Yes, practically s.. When l say
practically so | mean it underlies IS
per- cent. or more"
at has been said that this tract of
coal land is most favorably located for
getting out coal. Is this the case? p
"Yes, most decidedly. First-be-
cause our main line runs about paral-
lei with the synclinal axis OF the field.
Sec0nd-the mine, as you have seen, is
entered by an adit; tins renders the
mine level free and eXempts us from
expense for drainage. Ihid-the
grade thus indicated favors the easy
