THE COLLEGE EMBEZZLEMENT.
How the Ex-President Of Brown University
Was Ruined by His Son.

PROVIDENCE. Oct s-The embezzlement
of Gilmer p. Robinson, tho registrar of
Brown University, created q great stir in
social circles when the news was circulated
this morning. There is much sympathy for
the venerable ex-President of the institu-
tion. the father of the erring registrar. who
has pledged himself to make good the
shortage. Already enough has been dis
covered to leave him penniless. When DR..
Robinson resigned the presidency of the
university this scandal had just come to
light. He had for years been at the head
of the university. and felt that his honor
was at stake. The opinion is that there is a
discrepancy of $4,000.
1t has come to the surface that DR.. Rob-
inson secured the appointment of his son as
the registrar for the purpose OF keeping
him where he could watch him all the
time. and that it was with considerable
misgiving that the board consented to
this. but they did assent for his sake. The
objections brought mp at the time werc
that he was inclined to be dissipated. but
this was all waived with the hopes that he
would be held in check by the father. but
he went from bad to worse until this last
offense has almost broken his fathers
heart.

NEW USE FOR CONFEDERATE MONEY.
Western Travellers Carry 1t for the Purpose Of
Pooling Railway Train Robbers.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. Oct. S-Within the past
two months there has been a brisk demand
in this section for confederate greenbacks
and bills of defunct State banks. This de-
1nand comes from the West and North, but
chiefly from Western points. Being unable
to account for it, 1 called upon a leading
broker to-day. who, in reply to my request
for information, said:
"a correspondent in New York to whom
shipped recently about $40. 900 of old State
bank bills and $500. 600 of confederate bills
wrote me that they were wanted most by
travellers. He said the practice of holding
up trains and robbing passengers had be-
come so prevalent that men having much
carry money with them, are
providing themselves with green
goods as p decoy to the railroad agent.
tie says they make up packages of confed-
outside. and carry these in their pockets.
stowlng. their money in their sachels. or
hiding it under the seats. The train robber
is generally in hurry when going through
q train, and as the passenger throws up his
hands the agent grabs the big fat pocket
book with the roll of confederate billsin it,
and hurries along to the next passenger
without stopping to examine the pocket
book. My correspondent tells me the thing
has been tried. and that it worked success
fully. In fact, he gave me the name of a
friend who had provided himself with one
of these dummy pocket-books, and who
was on train that had been held up out
West somewhere. The man had over S.,
900 packed away in his socks, and roll of
old confederate and State bank bills in his
inside vest rocket. The agent swallowed
roll.n
Assorted denominations of these old bills
readily sell for 10 cents per 1000, while
special issues bring from 81 to S1.50 per
