land.
DENVER, Col, April 1O.-An import
ant arrest was made here yesterday by a
city detective and an officer from Provi-
dence, R. l., in the capture of Frank 81.
Cushman. Cushman is about thirty
years old, and for ten of them has been
fugitive. He is of one OF the first fam
lilies of Providence, and at one time was
paying teller of the Merchants National
bank. Ten years ago he disappeared
with S22, 600 of the banks funds. Off
GERS were put Oh his track and he led
them a long, weary chase through the
South, New Mexico, California and into
Canada. Here all trace of him was lost
for time, but finally it was discovered
he had gone to France. He was located
In Paris and placed III custody. After
the formalities of extradition, he was
returned to the United States, convicted
of embeZZlement, and sentenced to a
term of two years. After serving the
term he was employed by |. NJ. Gotf,
wholesale music dealer, of Providence,
as travelling salesman. Golf was a sort
of philanthrOphist, and had the utmost
confidence in his ability to reform young
Cushman, and gave him a position of
considerable responsibility. For several
years he apparently attended strictly to
business, and merited the faith reposed
in him. About year ago Golf noticed
a number of his oldest and best Gus
toners becoming delinquent. and spoke
to Cushmau about it. The latter,
on behalf of the customers, pleaded
hard times, and promised to stir them
up. The delinquencies continued, how
ever, and also increased in amount, un-
til Mr.. Golf determined to make per-
sonal investigation. This developed the
fact that Cushman had collected the
sums which he failed to report, and his
shortage amounted to over 5000. Upon
MIR. Goff's return home he found Cush-
man had disappeared, leaving no eX-
cuse for his departure. No trace of the
fugitive was found until about a week
ago, when he wrote to former pastor
in Providence requesting letter of
recommendation to aid him IN securing
employment. The request was dated at
Denver, and the police authorities were
telegraphed meager details of the affair
with Instructions to arrest the man.
The detective said that he had followed
Cushman over 10000 miles during the
last ten years. They left for Provi-
dence last night.

AN IOWA SCHEME.
Prohibition to Be Traded for a

Legisla tor in Scott County.

DEs MONIES. To-, April 10.-Frank
Smith, of Davenport, is a travelling
man. better known as "Two-cent
Smith, for reason that he claims to
be resposible for the plank in the Re
publican platform two years ago Squint-
ing toward two-cent passenger rates.
Smith is Grand Army man, and en-
countering gentleman in the SaXony
hotel here, to-day. who had a Grand
Army badge in his button hole, he at
once took it for granted that the stranger
was a Republican, and began to unbur-
den himself to him. According to
Smiths story there is a break in the
Democratic party of Scott county, occa-
stoned by disagreement among the
candidates of the late city election of
Davenport, resulting in three-cornered
fight, and the election of the Republican
candidate for clerk. 1t has been so
long since a Republican has been
elected in Scott county that this acci-
dent has turned the leaders wild and
led to the pretended belief that they
might carry the county for the legisla-
tive ticket this fall. There has been
talk OF precOncerted movement among
the extreme Republican element to at
tempt the enforcement of the prohibi-
tionary law in Davenport. 1t is under
stood that Gov. Larabee desired that
such an attempt be made, and it was to
head this off that Mr.. Smith came to
Des Moines. He was closeted with the
governor this afternoon and represented
to him that if no effort was made to en-
force prohibition in Davenport till after
election there was reason to believe
that the Republicans of Scott county
could elect their legislative ticket this
fall. If Mr.. Smith is to be believed the
are wanted first and prohibition ell
forcement can come afterwards. -

A SCENE IN THE SENATE.
Wisconsin Statesmen Who Are
Not Credit to the State.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
MADISON, Wis, April 10.-A dis
graceful affair, in which senator from
Oshkosh and an assemblyman from the
same place were participants, occurred
on the floor of the state senate this af-
ternoon. For some time past there has
been an estrangement between Senator
Buckstaff and ASsemblyman Pratt, re-
Sulting from certain amendments relat-
ing to the chartor of the notorious city
where people go to have some fun with
the boys. BuckStatf is a Republl-
can and Pratt a Democrat. Both
gentlemen have been casting some
pretty caustic reflections upon each
other, and recently Pratt made a state
ment before the Oshkosh common coun-
ell that there was no use trying to Sc
cure local legislation when the city was
represented in the upper house by a
man who was little better than an
idiot good share of the time. Tod "
capped the climax. This afternoon Mr.
Pratt went to his colleague in the senate
and asked him pleasantly to read aletter
which he (Pratt) had been requested to
hand to him. Buckstaff received his
visitor by telling him to go to a place
where the material for the busines end of
Oshkosh matches is supposed to exist in
its native state, refusing to receive the
letter, and turning in his seat, spit
sQuarely in Pratt's face twice. Mr..
Pratt quietly retired without resenting
the insult. Only a few persons were on
the floor when the scene occurred, and
an effort was made to keep the matter
quiet. When Pratt found it had leaked
out tonight, he claimed that he slapped
Buckstatf in the face in return for his
insult, but this is denied by eye wit
nesses. Buckstaff refuses to talk On the
Snhiert.

From 9 o'clock this morning till 6 this

densely thronged with people from all

in the case of John Flaherty for the
killing of Hattie Wilson. The prosecu-

supper time, and less than a dozen wit
nesses were examined, though MANY
others were subpenaed. For the de-
Tense some twenty witnesses are named,
but it is possible that not all will be

and the insanity defense limited at
will not be offered. Flaherty continued
quite Indifferent, and seemingly takes
little interest In the proceedings. His
manner does not suggest realization of
the terrible crime for which he is being
tried. Evidence of the most damaging
character is given by every witness
called. He gazes about the court room
and greets those with whom he is ac-
quainted with pleasant smiles. His
personal appearance is not bad. He is
probably twenty-five years old, and
comes of bad stock. OF a family of
five, only one is out of prison or with
out an Indictment hanging over him.
