Is Macleod Guiltyg
mho l.nnw Mnelend I'D

Those who know Macleod as a sporting
man consider him thoroughly honest The
theory now accepted By Editor Wallace is
that Bob, spurred ON by Lowitz, went TO
the vault some time ago, represented him
self as Macleod, who was hardly known by
sight there, and on subsequent occasions
abstracted the stocks and bonds, taking the
last Of them ON Tuesday Of last week. In
this case there is likely TO be a lively law
suit for S35,00O, in which the Bankers Safe
Deposit company viii be defendant Young

ton with Editor Wallace. He was greatly

was arraigned at the Tombs yesterday
charged with completely with Robert n.
Wallace IN the abstraction Of bonds from
the Bankers Safe Deposit vaults at Wall
street The bonds belonged to John II.
wallace, proprietor and editor Of Wallace's

Wallace's adopted son. Mr.. Mcleod, who
was associate editor of the Monthly,
was remanded by the consent Of his

tested his innocence.
The wiper" Turned Upon Him.
Robert r. Wallace, the alleged thief, dis
appeared on Wednesday last. He was the
heir Of John H. Wallace, who is childless,
and relative He was adopted, e@l-
Gated and finally taken into businessM
his henefactor and made treasurer Of fhe
publication business, with full access to
his unc.e's papers and money. When his
uncle searched his boxes in the deposit
vaults he found that securities valued at
$4,000 had been taken, and his bank book
also showed a shortage Of about $4,000.
A Hypocrite and a Thief.
II has been learned that young Wallace
not only gambled away large sums Of
money, but that he had been in partnership
| with a notorious bookmAker IN whose favor
he Ind drawn many large checks against
Editor Wallace's bank account. Wallace
| and the bookmaker, whose real name is be-
lieved to be j. b. Lowitz, made good their
flight on the steamship Saratoga for Ha-
vana week ago, and are now safe in

The weight Of evidence now tends to show
that Bob Wallaoes fall WINS due to

and the other winter race tracks, and that
the man Lowitz was the evil genius who
first lured him TO steal and then drove him
by threats OF exposure 70 continue his
thefts The grand coup Of extracting the
bulk Of $50, 600 Of stocks and bonds from
the vault Of the Bankers Safe Deposit
company, No. 4 Wall street, a week ago
Tuesday, IS believed 10 have been 40 tho
direct instigation Of Lowitz.
He had a singularly strong influence
! over young Wallace. At times he was
almost brutal in his treatment Of his dupe
That much Of the money at first stolen by
the lad went to Lowitz is shown by the
checks drawn against Editor Wallace
They run back TO January and aggregate
over $1,000 They were taken from the
back oi Editor Wallace's check book, the
stubs being left blank.

L new BUSINESS METHOD.

8. II. Baynard has adopted new plan that
is now prevailing In western cities. whereby
the opportunity Is given to procure a good
watch for n very low price, through the
agency Of cooperative clubs. This plan Is as
follows: Clubs are composed OF forty mem-
bers, who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes TO the originator of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum of seven hundred
and sixty-fye dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
ht which time a number Is drawn, which en-
titles the owner Of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar to the old plan
OF watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of a number further payment Of
that number cease. The remaining members
1ess one each week. continue their paymente
and drawing for thirty weeks. when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
The watches SO distributed are gold-flled
case, made by James Boss, with either an Eli
gin, Waltham, Springfield or Hampden move
ment, such as are sold all over our city for
thirty-hve dollars and which are fully war
ranted TO give satisfaction. Clubs are now
forming and drawings will commence Tues

The Johnson City special 30 the
Knoxville Journal to the effect that
Hon. r. r. Butler would contest Hon.
A. A. Taylor's right TO u seat IN Con-
gress is probably all moonshine. There
is no reason why Mr. Butler should
contest, or at least none has been
given. Ii the counties OF Washington,
Carter and johnson, in which irregu-
larities are ,lleged were all thrown
OFT, Mr.. taylor would still be elected
by nearly five hundred majority. If
any mao is foolish enough to believe
that the Democrats in the next Con
uress will lend them selves rs tools to
uuseat Taylor because of his vote in
the Langston Venable contest, or on
account OF any other vote he may have
recorded while in Congr Ass, they will
be woefully mistaken. The Democrats
will do right, and will unseat 10 man
who has been dul, elected. They will
see, too, that every man who has be n
elected shall take his seat They will
not be governed by motives OF ma ice
and revenge nor Twill they prostitute
themselves for the purpose OF getting
even" with anybody, but, relying alone
upon the merits Of the cases, they will
dacide honestly and fairly. That is
