ONLY A SLIGHT OBSTACLE.

If the document did not exist it must be
made to exist The project was no sooner con-
ceived than executed. Facilities were not
wanting. Stayner had been an engraver in his
youth, and in that capacity had first come into
the employ of the American Bank Note Com.
pany, and Ives himself was not unskillful with
the pen. Accordingly, at the next meeting of
the reference, there was voluntarily produced
by Stayner document which met all the con-
spirator's requirements. Without the slightest
prior suggestion it had sprung into life fully
matured and ready for business. Of course it
clearly showed Meyer, partner of Ives, ,Stayner
and Meter, and responsible for all claims
against them to the full extent of his estate.
The Sun then gives in tull the agreement
which Ives and Stayner said made Meyer
full partner with them in the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton deal.
The document was signed: II. 81.

The article continues:

This extraordinary document was wholly in
Ives handwriting in lead pencil upon a sheet
of Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton letter
paper. The initials H. S. l. were Ives, the in
itial G. H. s. were Stayner's. the initials E. w.
w. as witness were Woodruff's, and the initials
c. NJ. were declared to have been written by
Christopher Meyer. OF the genuineness of the
first three there could be little doubt, but the
moment that examination was directed to the
initials &c NJ" they were declared by those
familiar with Meyers handwriting to be for
gerry. They were firm and bold, while Meyer's
handwriting at the alleged date of the agree
ment, was uncertain and trembling ENLARGED

showing how the idea of initiating the
Meyer signature was discussed by Ives,
Stayner and Woodruff in Stayner's house in
Brooklyn, and how Ives had instructed
Woodruff to swear that the forged agreement
was the one which he had witnessed in
Meyers presence. The story is a remark
able one, and shows that Ives was not to be
daunted by any obstacle. In an interview
with Ives in the Tombs this afternoon he in
sisted that the copy of the agreement pro-
duced at the reference was a genuine one
and all the signatures were genuine.
Mr.. Julius L. Dexter, President of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton road. was
seen tonight concerning the Suns story re-
garding Henry S. Ives. Mr.. Dexter said:

A CONSPIRACY ALLEGED.

Neither of them was solvent, and the mani
fest intention was to turn to the only respon-
sible defendant-the estate of Christopher
Meyer. To make that estate answerable it
was necessary to prove that Meyer had been a
partner of the Ives gang, and as such respon-
sble for all their losses.
Meyer was dead, and could deny nothing
The ready lips of Ives and Stayner swore with
affected reluctance to everything essential to
prove his partnership. They produced from
their own letter books written propositions to
Meyer, which, if accepted, would have made
him a partner. But unfortunately for this
scheme, outside of their own declarations, they
could prove no acceptance by Meyer of their
offers.
Ives appreciated the difficulties of the situa-
tion and proceeded characteristically to over
come them. 1t was necessary to produce some
writing binding Meyer. None such was in ex-
istence, and the very fact of such a thing had
been dlsclaimed by Ives and Stayner in their
deposition. But to a "NapoIeonic" mind such
obstacles are trivial

AN INTERESTING oPERATnoN.
Tumor that Formed Because Of
Pistol Shot, Removed.


An interesting surgical operation
was performed on Thomas Carroll
yesterday morning at Providence
hospital Carroll was shot through
the elbow OF the left arm several
months since. The wound healed and
1t was thought that no further trouble
would follow.
Recently an aneurism OF the braChial
artery resulted from the In jury te, the
walls at the time OF the accident. The
aneurism formed q soft pulsating
tumor as large as an orange at the ell
bow. IL was what ply sicians desig-
nate as q trufnatic aneurism. On
rare occasions the blood In such Il tu-
NOR coagulates. and in this way cures
itself. II an anecurism does not re-
ceive treatment in time il bursts and

son. An ineision was made at the
lower part Of the upper third of the
aAtHf VI u Htkttt SHbfl Ni1-
tancr below the shoulder. The
braehiai artery was soon located and
raised so that thread was passed
around ii. This was tightly drawn
and knotted. thus etfectnally shutting
of the blood from flowing into the
tumor.
Ii was formerly the custom OF sur
geons to cut the artery after it was tied
up. but in modern surgery this Is no
longer done. The incision was closed
up and the operation, which had only
lasted a short time. was over.
One would naturally think that the
tying up OF this artery, which sup
plies the blood for the arm, would re-
suit disastrousiy to that member, but
this. physicians say, is not the case.
The blood finds its way TO the lawcr
part of the arm through sub-artaries
which in time enlarge So as to accom-
modate y flow sufficient to nonrish,
sustain and keep in healthy condition

The operation above described lis of
great interest to physicians. and its
outcome will be watched closely by
them. The patient is already con-
sldered by them TO be out of danger.

In answer to the question, what
is to be done with the ~penitentiary
convicts, the suggestion of the Roam
oke News that they be put to manu-
featuring fertilizers to be sold to the
farmers of the State at a little above
cost, is worth more than a passing
thought. We have abundant raw and
natural material out of which the
finest grades of fertilizer might be
manufactured, at a profit to the State,
and, at the same time, furnished to
our farmers at figures which would
be a great saving on the prices they
are now required to pay But The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER has long believed
and has SO advocated, that they can be
best utilized on public roads, i:
We are pleased to- note that
Wake Forest College, located eighteen
miles northwest of this city, on the
line of the Raleigh and CASTOR Rail
road, is in a very prosperous con
dition. It's endowment fund now
amounts to one hundred and seventy
three Thousand dollars, which brings
an annual interest of $14,224. This
fund has been so admirably placed as
to insure the most perfect safety, ard
it is thought not a cent of it a be
lost. The PROGRESSIVE FARMER re-
joices> always in the Improvement and
advancement of the educational insti
buttons of our State, believing, as it
does, that upon these, to a very great
extent, depend the future welfare OF
the commonwealth. ~
The State Board of Agriculture
and the Board of Trustees of the Ag.
ricultural and Mechanical College,
will meet in this city on the 18th
prox. The most important work be-
fore the Board and one which will
be far-reaching in it's effects, will be
the election of the President and
other members of the faculty for our
Agricultural College. We trust that
the great central idea and purpose OF
the Board will be the selection of the
very best men for these important posi-.
tions, and that their supreme purpose
will be to make the institution an
Agricultural and Mechanical College in
the true sense of the word. It can
be made a great blessing to the poor
boys of our State.
