ST. JAMES, Jan. 2.-Nels Herlldt,
young man who has been in the employ
of w. W. Gibbs, of the ST. James hotel,
was arrested at Esterville, To-, by Sher-
iff Stemper. and will be brought here to
answer the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. Last summer he
went to A. III. Benton, of Nadelia, and
borrowed some money, giving as secur-
ity mortgage on a pair of horses he
SAID he owned. When the obligation
became due Herlidt went to Thomas
Torson, register of deeds, and borrowed
the money, giving the same horses as
security. About two weeks ago MIR.
Torson learned that Herlidt owned no
horses, and never had owned any. He
was questioned about it, and, getting
scared, left the country, going to Es-
therville, To-, where he was foolish
enough to write back to friends here.
In this way his whereabouts was
learned and the sheriff sent after him.
Herlidt has another charge to answer,
that of forging his nncle's name to
note and giving it as security for bor-
roWed money.

Elizabeth street soon after midnight
this morning, was struck on the head
and had his skull fractured by brick
thrown by some unknown member of
the Elizabeth street gang of roughs who
were skylarklhg and fighting in the
neighborhood. O'Connor is dying at a
hospital The gang scattered before the
other young man. John Sweeney, suf-
fering from bruises aud cuts sustained
in similar manner. Sweeney was
taken to hospital. Three arrests have
been made on suspicion. John Neary, a
laborer, aged twenty-five, while stand
ing before the tenement No. 81 Tenth
avenue. where he lived with his family,
was shot through the heart and killed
half an hour after midnight by some I'M
known person. A number of people in
the neighborhood were firing pistols in
the air to add to the din made by horns
and whistles. 1t is supposed that
through accident or carelessness one OF
the shooters pointed his weapon to-
ward the street, but it is not probable
that the guilty person will ever be de-
tected. Neary's elder brother, William,
has been nearly dead of consumption,
and the shock of Johns death will
probably hasten his own. The broth
ers were standing side by side when the
fatal shot was fired. John was the only
support of the family, as William was
unable to work. Half block only from

rests and attending to people who were
shot. cut or bruised. BENJAMIN Gatt-

in fight between rival gangs of toughs

James Sullivan, tramp, had his clothes
torn off and was bitten by two bulldogs
which were set upon him by some hui

ST.. LOUIS. jar. IA Chicago embez
zler, who packed himself and $4,000 in
trunk and was then sent by express
to ST. Louis, was captured in this city
tonight. His name is Thomas Vines,
and he is the clerk in the employ OF the
Adams a. Westlake Manufacturing
Co., who disappeared Saturday
night with the wages of 100
men. Vines confesses that he.
took the money, and, with the aid OF
confederate, whom he refuses to name
hired a room near the factory and made
preparations for flight. He blackened
up as negro, and secreting the money
in old stockings threw them cumbersome
old clothes in the bottom of
ono of the biggest trunks that
his accomplice cOnld purchase. Last
night when he thought the vigilance of
the police was somewhat relaxed under
belief that he was already out of the
CRY, Vines confederateS sent an eX-
presSman to their room. and Vines, in
his negro disguise, helped the express
man load the trunk on the wagon.
Five holes, to give air for breath
ing, had been bored by the embez-
zIer-in the back of the trunk near the
lid where the openings would not be
noticed. On the way to the depot
Vines told the eXpressman that ne in
tended to beat his way to st. Louis by
going in the trunk, being too poor to
pay the railroad fare. The eXpressman
thought it risky, but did not interfere
when Vines opened the trunk, jumped
in and

with spring lock. The trunk was put
into the baggage room by the express
man. The check for the trunk was in
the possession of Vines accomplice.
Vines and the trunk went on board the
train, and the embeZzler and his $4,000
were treated as very common baggage
for distance of over 100 miles. That
was as long as the embezzler could
stand it. The air was sitting and he
had Deen tumbled over and over until
he was sore in every joiut. On making
an cutlery he was released by the bag
gageman. They did not put him off the
train, but sympathizing with his plea of
poverty, allowed him to travel tie
remainder of the journey in passen-
ger car. The trunk was carelessly
closed by the trainmen, and its contents
left undisturbed., At st. Louis the
trunk could not he obtained by Vines
without the check, and his confederate
did not put in an appearances. Consid-
cradle pity was expressed by the
depot men for Vines, ard small
collection was taken up to buy him
a dinner and supper. His strange
story reached the ears of the police, and
aroused their suspicious. Vines deS-5
eruption had been received from the
Chicago authorities, and reading Oft.

heel heavily. and the blow was
accompanied with a crashing sound,
as if several heavy cannon had been
fired off simultaneously fore and aft and
above and below; the shock gave the
impression that the vessel had run into
a stone quay. The passengers in the
fore and middle part of the vessel were
thrown topsy turvy, but soon managed
to scramble to the entrances to the
deck, where they remained. peering
through the spray into the darkness.

series of about six waves seemed to be

probably originated by some local sub
