A SWINDLE EXPOSED.
n Scheme to Defraud Ex-Confederate Sol
diers Broken Up.

n Scheme to Defraud Ex-Confederate Sol
diers Broken Up.
Washington Special
a proposed gigantic swindIe, with ex-
Confederate soldiers as the prospective
victims, has been broken up for the
time being in this city, where headquar-
ters had been established The scheme
was conceived by one TolIiver, a former
claim agent, whose business brought
him in contact with every branch OF the
government. He had issued circulars
for general circulation III the South
eTn states, and had otherwise pre-
pared to work the scheme in great
shape when it was nipped in the bud by
parties who informed him that il he at
tempted to go any further he would be
exposed and prosecuted for using the
mails for fraudulent purposes. TOlliver 5
circular was headed:
To CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS
Those Who We're Cor-criptoG or Otherwise
Forced Into the Rebel Army.
1t recited that the great rebellion was
nothing more nor less than a great riot
against the United states, and that ac-
Cord!ng TO the constitution it was the
duty of the government TO protect It's
citizens in such an emergency, or else
pay for all damage to life or property
The latter part of the circular called
upon the conScripted COnfederates to
send Tolliver s. each, to be used as a
fund for placing their claims i'll the
proper channel. He also stated that
should the claims fail in the first in
stance, he would have introduced in con-
greSs and urge the passage of bill tax
ing c0guiZauca OF such eases, and which,
he said, would no doubt result in full
compensation 10 those who were fOrcibly
compelled to leave their homes and fam
lies and enter the army of the CoRfeder-
acy. The men who were wounded or
contracted chronic diseases i'll the service,
tie circular said, had clear case for
damages aud, perchance, pension.
Had TOlliver Hooded the Southern states
with these circulars carefully worded
and seductive-as he proposed to do, the
result can easily be imagined He would
have duped a good many thousand of
victims and reaped a harvest of green
and gold, but the claims would never
gone through successfully, nor would
such an act as he proposed ever have
passed either house of congress.

C.,,,,ou.seuse Letter.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I see that newspaper articles are again making their appearance calling attention to matters pertaining to health, as well as to the means whereby disease may be removed and good health preserved. ] am thereby reminded that have received from time to time pamphlet publications issued by the we'll known firm of H. H. Warner & Co.,, which dwell upon the history and growth of kidney diseases; showing how such is sne cause of consumption, heart, brain and ner- vous disorders, which can only be succesa- fully treated by removing the primary dis ease from the kidneys. At the same time care ia taken to remind the reader that War uer,s Safe Cure is the only means whereby the phvsicisu or the individual can success fully prevent and cure this class of disease. Whilst have personal cause to feel grate- ful to Warmers Safe Cure for the benefit which derived from 1t when sufering from kidney troubles last spring, cannot see, since that remedy is already so well known in every household, why the parties interest ed in it's manufacture snoulo con.inuJ st tt.a pend money in calling attention to what the public already knows so well. l am aware, Mr, Editor. that the members of the medi- cal profession are seldom disposed to give due credit to proprietary medicines, but public confidence is likely to be even more shaken in those learned gentlemen since the startling disclosures in the Robinson poison ing cases were made in Somerville, Mass
 Here it was discovered, through the efforts of an insurance company, that eight cases of death from arsenical poisoning had oc. curred-seven of them in one family and within five years, and the other that ot relative wherein the true cause of death had not been even suspected by prominent physicians who were in attendance, but who treated the case for other causes, and finally, when death occurred, issued certificates for such causes pneumonia, typhoid fever, meningitis, etc.
 After such an evidence of the utter fncom- potency of those physicians who were re- garded as experts in their profession, csn- not conceive why it will be longer necessary for further advertising to be done in behalf of Warner's Safe Cure, since I deem the Somerville disclosure to be the best possible endorsement of the good sense manifested by those who take matters of health in their own hands and use remedy which experi- ence has shown to be fully adapted for the purposes intended. instead of trusting them selves in experimental hands.

General Items That W1ll be Found Of Local Interest.
 The grand list of Fair Haven foots up to nearly million and half this year.
 It is expected that there will be definite and perhaps final decision in a few days with reference to the much mooted question as to whether Grand avenue shall be extended over the tracks of the Shore Line railroad. The question has now been under considera- tion for years.
 More street sprinklers are wanted in Fair Haven. Despite the heavy rains of the past few days the streets were very dusty yester- day.
 The entertainment and supper that the I. v. Y. club is to give at the Second church parlors this evening should be largely pat ronized. The club is an organization com posed of young ladies who live on the East side. This is the first time they have given any public entertainment. Quite number of the young people con- nected with the East Pearl street church came to the city Wednesday evening to join in the union service at the Trinity Methodist church.
 Both of the borough policemen, Officers Doody and Mack are doing regular duty at the New Haven baseball grounds. Mrs. F N. Wesley of Holyoke, who has been visiting her sister Mrs. Thompson of the East side, has returned home. James M. Gregory has gone to New York where he will probably reside.

In the loan crowd this morning St. Paul commanded pre- mium for use at one time of 64 of per cent. per diem. There was talk of @ corner in the stock slm- liar to that in Transcontinen al and the foreigners sellers of the stock sellers' options almost all day.
