BEHIND PRISON BARS.
A New York Broker Confesses to Sevent
Forgeries.

Forgeries.
New YORK, November 16th.-Albert II.
Smith, junior partner of the brokerage firm
of Mills, Robson & Smith, is prisoner,
charged with over seventy forgeries, sggre-
eating $780, 600. Smith acknowledged his
guilt and turned over all his property for
the benefit of his creditors.
The discovery of the forgeries, which
cover period of six years, was accidentally
made Saturday morning by clerk in the
employ of the firm. In his confession,
Smith says he used the money TO reimburse
customers who had lost money on his sug-
gestions.
The loss resulting from Smiths misdo-
ings will fall upon his firm, which has
been in existence since 1872, and which has
been held in the highest repute.
Smiths plan was simple. He would buy
eight or nine shares of first.class stock, and
by adding cipher or the letter "Y" raise
the order to eighty or ninety shares. These
he deposited with the firm as private ac-
count, and thus made the partners respon-
sible.
The discovery was accidentally made by
the stock clerk, and Smith then confessed
everything to his partners.
Smith is prominent cnurchman and a
member of several clubs. He is 45 years
old and a childless widower. All the for
geries are not a total loss to the firm, as
about one-fourth can be recovered.
The firm has made an assignment to A.
Watson, to whom Smith yesterday made a
personal assignment.

UrAH's STATEHOOD.
Proposition to Disfranchise the Morms
and Admit the Territory.


aud Admit the Territory.
WASHINGTON, November 16th.-Several
Democratic newspapers have discovered
that the Republicans, fearful that the DEM
ocrats will gain control of the Senate two
years hence, have decided upon plan to
disfranchise the Mormons, admit Utah as
Republican State. and thereby gain two
United States Senators. They argue that
Utah would surely be Republican were the
Mormons deprived of their franchise. In
this opinion they are probably right, but it
would be difficult to find an excuse for
disfranchising them. 1t is true that some
doubt exists as to the good faith of Presi-
dent Woodruffs proclamation renouncing
polygemy, but popular sentiment favors
giving them fair trial before other harsh
measures are enacted against them. Be-
sides, it is doubtful if the Republicans
would be willing to consume the time in
the discussion of Utah's admission that
should be occupied in the consideration of
the apportionment bill subsidy and other
important measures, including, perhaps,
the Federal election bill. 1t is asserted
that the Utah Liberals will send lobby TO
Washington this winter, but it is doubtful
if their efforts will meet with success.

A Vulgar Practice.

Never place toothpicks on the table at
meals. Nothing could be more vulgar than
to deliberately pick the teeth before others
at meal time. 1t is true that it is an
American custom, "and pity It's it's true"
The very suggestion of toothpick is an
offense to good taste, either at table or on
the street. If ii must be used, let it be in
private. A dear old aunt of mine, who,
when a girl, attended boarding-school
kept by French lady, used to tell of the
mistress displeasure at finding some Of
the girls picking their teeth together.
"Nevare let me see you pick your teeth in

A FAMOUS NAME.
One Hundred and Thirteen Places Called
After Wayne.


1t may not be generally known, remarks
the New York World, even to the man
who thinks he hits the nail on the head
when he says "What's in a name ?" that
the name of Wayne is the title or part OF
the title of more places in the United
States than any other. Take the plain
Wayne first without any embellishments
There is Wayne county in Georgia, Hi
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and West Virginia.
In Illinois there are seventeen town.
ships that are called Wayne. There are
twenty-one in Ohio, twelve in Pennsyl-
vania, seventeen in Indiana, three in Iowa,
two in Missouri, one each in Kansas,
Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Wisconsin,
besides a station in New Jersey and a
village in the State of New York
There are two Wayne Centers, one in
New York and one in Pennsylvania.
There is post-hamlet in Illinois called
Wayne City and post-village called
Wayne Courthouse in West Virginia. In
New York State there is place called
Wayne Four Corners, and village in
Tennessee that is fond of its title OF
Wayne Furnace. There is a Wayne
Junction in Pennsylvania.
As for places called Waynesborough,
there is one in Georgia, one in Mississippi,
one in Tennessee, one in Virginia and two
in Pennsylvania. Waynesburg is the title
of two places in Ohio, two in Pennsyl-
vania, one in Indiana and one in Ken
tucky, and there is a Waynesburg juno
tion in Pennsylvania.
Besides all these titles not apparently on
the wane anywhere, Waynesfeld is the
name of two parts of Ohio and one of
Georgia. Waynesville is the name of one
place each in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri
North Carolina and Ohio. In one section
of Indiana the people scratched their
heads before they put Wayne's name into
the title of their place, so as not to get the
tall end like any other Wayne place in
the United States, and so they named il
Waynestown.

Belief That General Outbreak Will
Soon Occur.

MINNEAPOLIS (Minn.) November 16th.-
A Tribune Mandan, n. D., special SAYS
Settlers living on the border of the Sioux
reservation bring stories of the arming OF
Indians, which is Dorne out by Joseph
Buckley, who speaks their language. Buck
ley came in to-day and says that every IN
dian on the reservation will shortly 60 on
the war-path, and that they have got
Custer's rifles, which the United States
army never found. The local hardware
men have in the last few days sold their en-
tire stock of ammunition to the Indians.
The Indians say that if they are unsuc-
cessful in the raid they will get double ra-
tions, and they have nothing TO lose.
The citizens here and settlers who are
unprotected believe that General Ruger
and the Indian authorities are harboring q
feeling of false security. The Mayor OF
Mandan has called a meeting, and the War
Department will be asked TO furnish the
citizens with guns, if not with soldiers.
Many settlers between Mandan and the
reservation are abandoning their farms and
ranches because of the lack of protection
afforded them by the Government.
The most conservative look gloomy at the
outlook. The Indians are becoming more
and more crazed over the Messiah story.
Serious trouble is anticipated at the agency
over the coming ghost dance. The agent
has endeavored to induce them to forego
it, but they are defiant, and refuse to obey
his orders.
A woman was brought before the agency
at Standing Rock few days ago. whom
the Indians said was the mother of the
Messiah. The agent interrosated her, but
got no satisfaction as to who is be the
Messiah, she contenting herself with re-
peating the stories of the millennium to
come, and how the white people would be
wiped out entirely. Several of the leading
Sioux chiefs seem to be as firm believers in
the story as the young bucks.
EXCITEMENT sUBsIDING.
KANSAS CITY, November 16th.-A special
from an army officer at Fort Niobrara,
Neb., to the Times states that the excite.
ment among the Sioux Indians of that
place over the Messiah has subsidized to a
great extent. A special from Fort Leaven-
worth says no orders have been received
there to prepare for the movement of
troops, as reported.
No TROOPS ORDERED OUT.
ST. LOUIS, November 16th.-Secretary of
War Proctor, who is here on tour of in

Miles. In an interview this evening the
Secretary said no arrangements have been
made to send troops to the Indian Reser-
vation in the Northwest. The excitement
among the Indians, he said, he had reason
to believe was subsiding.

Two Members of Parliament Likely to

New YORK, November 16th.-A Quebec
special asserts that Laurier, an Opposition
leader, is in possession of proofs of double
scheme, beside which the Canadian Pacific
scandal OF 1878 is insignificant, and that he
will spring them at the next session of
Parliament. 1t is alleged that Doodle was
paid to Thomas McGrevy, N. P, by the
contractors for the Quebec and Esquimalt
docks for information from the Public
Works Department, of which his bosom
friend, Sir Hector Langevin, is Minister.
1t is said that friends Of the Government
are urging the Ministers to dissolve Par
lament before Laurier can be present and
prove his chsrges. Unless it is done, Lam
gevin and McGrevy will probably be ex-
PEELED.
