WORK ED A CLEVER RAG [ET.

Officers of New York Company Swim
died 1t Out OF Thousands.
NEW YORK, Aug. element J. Chal
Ter, the treasurer, and VIM. w. Chand-
Ter, Jr., the manager Of the Elie Trans
Ter Company at the foot of Chambers
Street, this city, were arrested yester-
day charged with Systematically de-
frauding the company. They spent the
night police headquarters. 1t is esti
mated that they have succeeded in
swindling the corporation out of not less
than $4,000. VIM. II. Maginnis, the
president of the company, reported to
the police a few days ago that he be-
ieved that a conspiracy existed be-
tween some of the officials to rob the
company. Detectives were detailed on
the case, and they were not long In
making a discovery. They found that
Challer, the treasurer, and Chandler, the
manager, were on terms of the utmost
intimacy. Challer is a single man 20
years old, and lives at Passaic, n. j.,
aud Chandler resides In the Oriental
Hotel, this city. 1t was clever scheme
the pair worked together. Chandler
would make ont false bills for horses,
Challer and the latter would pay them,
knowing them to be false. Unitemized
bills for incidental expenses sometimes
amounting to 500, were also paid IN the
same way. On several occasions it was
found that outside parties had been in
duced to present false bills to the COM
pany for supplies, and to give fictitious
receipts for them.
Challer made confession to-day. He
said he acted under the direction of
Chandler, and that his salary was in
creased from $50 to Sl20 month. The
money the pair stole was deposited in
Challer's Bank, in Passaic. and 81 600
has been traced thus far. 1t was
Challer's custom to divide the
spoils with Chandler by paying
the latter by check, and all the vouch-
ers are in the hands of the police. The
specific charge on which the arrests
were made alleges that the proceeds of
a false bill for horses supposed to have
been sold the company by an outside
person went into the pockets of the de-

A Chicago dispatch of the 30th says:

All about the locality where the flames
started are vast stretches of valuable
lumber piles and manufacturing estab-

North Pier. A wilderness of slips and
wharves rendered the place almost in
accessible for fire engines, but
the fre-boats remedied the diff
Guilty in a measure. The scene
of the fire is penetrated by tracks
Of the Chicago & North Western Rail
way which crosses the river near by.
Skirting the Northwestern tracks are
the lumber yards of the Peshtigo Com

ten and fifteen acres Of lumber were
consumed, with not ia from forty

Plenty of Wives.

Charles Loring, an electrician, 80
years old, well educated, handsome and
of excellent family, is in jail at Chicago,
accused of having five living wives.
The prisoners father is a prominent
citizen of Boston. Esther Bastasco, q
beautiful English Jewess, is the com
plainant, and asserts that she is Mrs.
Loring No. /, having married the cleo
trician at Brighton in 1884. Loring,
she says, represented himself as worth
$l50,000, but after bringing her to this
country and living with her for q time
left her penniless. She patiently traced
him over the country, but has only now
caught up with him. Meantime, it is
alleged, Loring married and deserted a
girl in each of four different cities-Chi-
cage, Wheeling, Helena, Mont, and
Brighton, Eng. 1t was with her English
townswoman that Miss Bastasco joined
forces, and by means of decoy letter
representing that another of Loring's
victims was dying and wished to be-
queath him some money secured his APP
pearance in Chicago. The arrest
promptly followed. He is nncommuni-
cative, and apparently hopes that his
wives will relent and fail to carry the
prosecution to an end.
