NAPOLEON OF FINANCE.
Young Ives Appears in a More
Disgraceful Role.
His Daring Scheme to Rob the
Estate Of a Benefactor.
Seven Million Dollars Almost
Within His Grasp.
Ives, Great Conspiracy.

New YORK, Sept. 1.-The Sun
in its last edition prints a sensational story
of the attempt to rob the estate of the
late Christopher Meyers of 81, 900, 900, by
means of forgery. and charges Henry S.
Ives with the crime. The Sun headlines
are as follows: lives as a Forger. De
tails of His Bold Scheme to Rob Christie
phey Meyers Estate. 81, zoo, 900 was
the Booty. Ives Traced the Dead Mans
Initials and Stayner Touched Them Up.
Perjury but an Incident. The Master
Thief Calmly Told Woodruff the Details
He was to Swear to-"
The Sun says: Henry s. Ives, who
has been so often and so truly referred to
in these columns as a master thief, also
ranks high among the forgers. The mar
rative will show that he by forgery of the
two initials &c" aud M" was in a fair
way to obtain at least 800, 600 in cold
cash aud to open the till which contained
something like 81, 00O. 200. Ives added
to his previous crimes that of forgery in
the latter part of last December. This
fact is published to-day for the first time
and can be s1bstantiated whenever it shall
become necessary.
The story which follows tells how
Meyers was induced to leud money to
Ives and Stayner and how the discovery
of their crimes finally drove him to his
grave. The SIN then says: Within
three months after Meyers death was put
into operation, through Ives agency, a
scheme to impoverish the Meyers estate

begun in an Ohio court by Albert Meter

Stayner. the executors of the estate OF
Christopher Meyer, for the balance of the
purchase money Of his syndicate remain
ing unpaid. No sooner, however. had
the plaintiff began the case than the col
usive character of the action was revealed.
Ives and Stayner, nominally defendants,
were the principal witnesses whom the
plaintiff called to prove his claim against
themselves. Neither was solvent and
the manifest intention was to turn to the
only responsible defendant, the estate of
Christopher Meyers. to make that estate
answerable. 1t was necessary to prove
that Meyers had beer n partner of the
Ives gang and as such responsible for all
their losses. Meyers was dead and could
deny nothing. Ives and Stayner there.
fore produced a document which fully
met the case"
The Sun then gives in full the agree
ment which Ives and Stayner said made
Meyer a full partner with them in the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton deal.
This document is signed Ii. S. l.. G. NJ,
G.. ii. S. The Sun charges that Ives
forged Meyers initials to the documents
and a powerful magnifying glass shows
that the initials were traced. The Sun
then gives a detailed account of the con-
ception and execution of tho crime. A
Sun reporter this morning had an inter
view with Ives. He still insist the in
itlals are genuine.

NEW YORK, Sept. l4.-The storm is at
last blown over and the sun is shining.
The feeling of uneasiness in shipping CIR
Giles as to the safety OF many vessels at sea
during the storm remains keen as ever.
Several steamers and sailing vessels are
overdue, and as telegraph communication
between here and a number OF points is
still cut of, 1t is impossible to learn any
thing for the present. Communication
with Sandy Hook is all right again. No
less than a score CT storm delayed vessels
are reported as passed up toward quaran-
tine. All show evidence of having passed
through a storm.
FALL RIVER, Mass Sept 1.-THE
steamer Saxon arrived from Philadelphia
this morning. She had on board the
captain and seamen of the shipwrecked
schooner William .. Snow of Taunton.
She pu into Delaware breakwater during

The crew were lashed in the rigging for
forty-eight hours before being rescued.

What golden grain we trample low
Searching for flowers that never growi
Why, home is real, and love is real;

AT WASHINGTON.


An extremely stout, choleric old
gentleman sat in his office on Friday
Tuning over a lot of papers and swear
ing to himself. He was in a beastly
temper, for things had gone wrong
ever since morning, and now and then
he cast his eyes about as if in search
of something to kick as an outlet for
his tempestuous state of mind.
THAT book agent is out here, sir, "
said a clerk, thrusting his head
through the door.
SHOW him in" yelled the old gem
tleman, %greedily, land I'll kick the
everlasting stuffing out of him"
A minute later a pretty little girl
came demurely in, and, calmly draw
ing a chair up to the old gentleman's
desk, smiled sweetly.
Just excuse me a minute" said the
old fellow; there's a nasty book
agent coming"
Il am the book agent, sir" said the
girl, and she thrust a hand away
down through a hole in her dress and
brought up a volume.
Cant l sell you a copy, sir, she
said cheerfully, running through the
leaves. at is only S., and is profuse-
ly illustrated, and so needfui hat no
home is complete without one. Buy
a copy, please, and | shall forget that
you called me nasty"
Il didn't" pulled the old gentle
man, excitedly. II swear l never said
anything of the kind. Leave the book"
Then the old man yelled: 'tJohn,
give this young lady IS"
When the old gentleman picked up
his book to carry II home he discover
ed that it was a collection Of love
