Especial telegram TO The HERALD. Some
three mouths ago a man with a woman
registered at Hotel Barlow as e. f. G.
Hall and wife They were young, well
dressed, fluent takers, had plenty of money
and soon formed acquaintance and became
quite popular. Hall made large drafts on
banks in small towns In Kansas and Ne
braska, which were always paid, and this
fact being noised around, gave him tinan-
cial standing. He represented that he was
connected with the Nicaraguau Canal COM
pany, but was on leave.of absence for his
health He became infatuated with Glen
wood. and expressed desire TO own por-
ton Of it, and negotiated for some real
estate.
Business, he said, called him to California
and after long absence he recently re-
turned, after writing from San Francisco
that he was coming He came back alone,
stating his wife was sick at Manitou. He
closed his deal in tho real estate, giving a
New York draft similar to those which be
had used before, and which had been doubly
IGNORED, purchased diamond and some
ether things always paying in tdrafts anC
.eceiving balances; then he stopped. Since
hen parties in Colorado Springs have tele
graphed here Offering 500 reward for him
and his drafts have been returned marked
mo funds" He probably secured a couple
of thousand dollars here.

DENVER, Colo. Aug. 11.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. T. Just before the
Mystic Shrines made their pilgrimage to
Dallas, Tex, last spring, very dashing
young man accompanied by a handsome
woman appeared here. He was Mason !;
became acquainted with members of that
order; joined the Mystic Shrine, went to
Texas with them; spent money freely; was
introduced at the banks by Masonic
bretheren; opened an account, deposited
drafts which came back paid and fully
established himself. Then he left and was
not seen again until last week. Again he
went to his bank and deposited draft on a
kansas bank for s., 500. He went immedi
ately to the paying teller and drew out
1900 in cash and got a certified check fol-
a thousand more Of course it was al
right, but the cashier as precartion tele-
graphed the Kansas bank and next day re
ceived reply that the draft was a forgery
but Hall had fed next day. a prominent
ieweler presented draft given by Hall fol
$1,000, having sold him than amount in dia

Western Passenger Association.

OMAHA, NeD., Aug. u.-(Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. IA Bee special from
Chicago says: The ninety days in which the
Western Passenger association agreement
is pending, expires September 8, and it is
becoming more and more doubtful if the
association will outlast the agreement.
Certain it is that the Alton and St Parll
roads express the utmost dissatisfaction
with the agreement and they, together
with almost if not all the other members,
declare they will not longer continue the
farce of living up to the terms of agree
ment at the end of ninety days. In no in
stance is the fault laid at Chairman
| Goddard's door. The agreement itself and
the conditions made by many of the roads
in signing it renders it Impossible to i'm
pose penalties which will stick It is
agreed on all hands that Chairman God
dard could nave conducted matters more
satisfactorily had there been no agreement
whatever. The result of the importation of
the agreement has been that every road
has done practically as it saw fit, render
| ing the passenger situation more shaky
even than it was before break in rates n
January. Each road has cause of griev-
ance sgainst it's competitors and there is
no way under the agreement to S. tile
difficulties, Especially is there war among
the roads competing for Colorado
BUSINESS One road claims the Mis-
souri, Pacific is to blame for
the whole trouble, while other roads lay
the blame on Rock Island and approve
every act of the Missouri Pacific. From
every side comes the admitted fact that the
roads are doing exactly as they please anG
are cutting rates in way to put the man1p
ulation of interstate commerce actdays
to blush Many of the lines are willing ant
anxious to Withdraw their membership:
today, but none has mustered up courage
to take the iniative.

The Population of Utah.

Telegram to The HERALD 1T will be
nearly three months before the official
count of the census of Utah will be com
pleted. After the rough count of the states
and territories has been completed, the
work of settling the counts Of the enumera-
tors will be taken up. It will require
nearly two months to dispose of this work,
and then the third and last count of the
population will begin. The states will be
taken up alphabetically, and as Utah is
well down on the list she will be among the
last reached. ] tried to-day to secure
through Superintendent Porter an IN
official report of the population of Ogden,
Provo, Logan, and other Utah towns, but
for some reason the returns even at this

The Marquis of harrington VIII Marry the
D0wager Duchess Of Manchester.
Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Cable. |
LONDON, Aug. 10.-Lord. Hartington's
marriage to the Dowager Duchess of Man
chester is fixed to take place next April,
when her late husband, the duke, will have
been dead about year. In popular par
lance, he ought to have been her husband
long ago. He has followed her with peril
nacity for many years. When she married
the duke she did so in ''fit'' after a lovers
quarrel with Harrington. Then the Duke
of Manchester came along. laid siege to her
and with the aid of her family won her con-
sent to marry him. 1t was a marriage
against fate and against her inclination.
The inevitable result followed. She was
not happy. All her thoughts were on
| Harrington, who was carefully invited to
all the receptions. Eventually, with the
aid of the dukes influence, Harrington was
elected to parliament and as all the world
know, secured "a reputation for himself.
| Scandals innumerable were started about
the duchess and Harrington. The duke in
vestigated them and declared them base
less so far as wrong was concerned. He
only found he had secured the hand of his
wife at the altar but not her heart, and he
nursed this as one of the greatest misfor
| tunes of his life.

OMAHA, Aug. 11.-[Special telegram to
The HERALD. THE announcement of the
coming removal of Il. f. Baxter, superin-
tendent of the Wyoming division, has
caused much discussion in Union Pacific
circles, 1t appears that the general manager
wants BaXters position vacated. but has
been at loss to know how to accomplish
it without making trouble. Baxter is re.
markedly solid with the employees on the
Wyoming division, and if he was ruthlessly
| fired it would undoubtedly create nice
little muss. To avert anything of this
kind, Ressiguie wrote a letter conveying
the information that President Adams and
Vice-President Holconb were after his
scalp, and advising him to send in his
resignation to take effect September l.
Ressiguie also kindly advised him that that
was better than being discharged and
thought that it would be nice thing for
him to give out that he resigned for the pur
pose of accepting a position under Ed
Dickinson on the Baltimore & Ohio.
Baxter. however, couldn't see it that way
and wrote back to Mr. Ressiguie that he had
no intention of going into the wholesale
lying business, anu he pOSlIlVely QeCllneu
to resign and stated, moreover, that if they
wanted to discharge him they knew how to
do it.
This is the story told by one of Baxter's
intimate friends, and it is substantiated by
a letter from Baxter himself. The local
Union Pacific officials are very reticent on
the subject, and profess to know little OF
nothing ahout If although one mr. two al
nit having heard rumor to the effect
that it was coming. 1t creates more OF
less CONSERVATION among the old employees
of the company, and some wonder is mani
tested as to who will go next. Mr.. Bexte1
is one of the most popular men in the com
pany's employ, and his removal will cause
, general dissatisfaction among the mer
undr him.

Colorado,s Mineral Exhibit at Chicago.

PUEBLO, Colo, Aug. 1.-THE unique idea
given out from Milwaukee that the brew.
ers of that city would erect a beer palace
at the Worlds fair of beer kegs, bottles
and other paraphernalia Of the beer in
dustry has given additional interest to the
wish that. the Colorado universal palace
just as it is now being erected in this city
may be rebuilt at Chicago as au important
part of the Colorado exhibit. The columns
would each be built of different stone,
while upon the inside the native splendor
of mineral specimens taken from hundreds
of mines would be heightened by the rays
from $500 electric lights. The only hind
rance would be the COST which including
the value of the specimens, would be in the
neighborhood of half million dollars
THERE'S genuine working order for the
first part of the programme and it is safe
to say that no attraction at Chicago would
be more generously visited. The advance
in silver has put the miners and mine own
ers N splendid humor, and it is safe to pre-
dict that the scheme will be worked out

ALBANY, Aug. ia committee from the
knights of Labor waited upon Deputy At

quired as to the right of the Central road
to employ Pinkerton detectives to guard its
property. Whitaker told the committee
the company had a perfect right to protect
its property and hire agents for that pur-
pose. A prominent knight said at noon as
the trains came in from the west, the fire
men were dropping from the service here.
He said eighS so far had dropped off, and
the Brotherhood of Engineers refused tic
work with any but union fremen, and
would not go on to New York with green
men. Superintendent Bissell was asked
about the matter, and emphatlcally denied
the rumor. He said every train which
came either from the west or south passed
through Albany with the same crew with
which it came in. Not a passenger fireman
had left the service to- day.
