THE ANTI-LoTTERY LAW.

1t is said that the anti-lottery bill
which the President has probably signed
by this time, is unconstitutional, as it in
terferes with the freedom Of the press. Not
so; the law does not prohibit newspapers
from printing lottery advertisements. 1t
does, however, in the administration of
the Postal Department declare that no
lottery advertisements shall be transmitted
though the mails.
Now, it is not constitutional right to
use the mails without restriction. From
the foundation of the Federal postal sys-
tenn to this hour there have been restric-
tions upon the kinds of matter that may be
passed through the mails. Lewd matter,
dunning postal cards, explosives, poisons,
fireworks, liquids except in certain pack
ages, filthy pictures, lascivious books, and
host of prohibited matter of like charac-
ter, as well as the swindling circulars of
cheats, the advertisements of makers of
spurious bank notes and of burglars tools,
cannot pass through the mails.
1t is within the power of the Federal
Government to add such other restrictive
regulations as Congress and thedepartment
deem wise, and in inhibiting the passage
of newspapers having in their columns
lottery advertising, they have done pre-
cisely the right thing. 1t would be de-
lightful shock, a moral surprise that would
receive the applause of the world, if the
Express companies would side with Con-
gress and refuse to carry any matter for the
lottery thieves. 1t is barely possible that
this may be done; that the men operating
the great Express concerns will refuse to
make earnings hereafter by doing the busi-
ness that enables the lottery gamblers TO
fleece the people.

A REMARKABLE CHEAT.

One of the most successful cheats of all
time was consummated in San Francisco
one day last week, and came to light on
Friday. We de not recall in all the an
mails of crime to be found in libraries
any trick quite so neat, bold and success
full. Such tale told upon the stage in
dramatic action would be pronounced fan
ciful, improbable and altogether out of
the question.
1t appears that six months ago finely
dressed woman began to visit the Office of
a real estate broker in San Francisco,
calling herself Miss Dick, and represent
ing that she owned fine piece of inside
city property left to her by her uncle, S.
w. Dick, well-known deceased capital
ist Of that city. The broker, Mr.. Wells,
took the agency of the property, but was
unable to find a purchaser at the high
price placed upon it. The woman called
every few weeks at the brokers' Office, and

NEW RAILWAY SCHEDULES.
The Men Declare Themselves Satisfied
With the Settlement.
San Francisco Examiner, Sept. 10Th


At short conference Wednesday after
noon at Fourth and Townsend streets the
Southern Pacific Company and its en-
pIoyes finally settled their differences by
| formally ratifying the new schedules of
wages as agreed upon on Tuesday, signed
copy of the schedules being given to the
representatives of the Order of Railway
Conductors, Brotherhood of Railway Con-
duetors and Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, one beng retained by General
Superintendent Fillmore on behalf of the
company.
After the signing of the schedules there
was little informal talk between General
Superintendent Fillmore and Assistant
General Superintendent Pratt and the men,
on the conclusion of which general hand
shaking was INDUCED in.
a great many of the men left for their
homes last night, including most of the
companys Division Superintendent, who
were all called here to attend the con-
ference.
General Superintendent Fillmore ex-
pressed himself as being pleased with the
outcome of the conference, and the spirit
and bearing of the men during the dis
cussions INDUCED in. And some of the
men were very fine takers, too" said Dir.
Fillmore.
Are you satisfied with the result of the
conference?" asked reporter of Grand
Master Wilkinson of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen.
Yes" replied the trainmen's leader;
"the company has met its employees half
way, and now there is no cause for COM
plaint on either side.''
Many of the men express the kipdest
opinion about General Superintendent Fill
mores conduct towards them during the
conference, going so far as to say that the
settlement must be credited to him entirely.
They say that Fillmore, having been a
brakeman and conductor himself at one
time, was able to thoroughly understand
the many little details about rules and
| wages that an official without the same
experience would not thoroughly appre-
ciate.
Conductor ]. Symington, of the Visslia
division, who was present at the confer
ence. in voicing this sentiment of the men
about Mr.. Fillmore, said: "Mr. Fillmore,
l think, deserves all the credit for the set
| tlement, and the concessions have made
everything satisfactory. He even went so
far as to adjust differences on the little
| branch line, the Stockton and Copperopolis
road, in his desire to remove any excuse
for reasonable complaints. Mr. Fillmore
| will be considered the most popular official
| of the company when the new schedules
| and rules go into effect on October 1st."

finally became well known there. Failing
in making sale, she at last authorized
the broker to negotiate loan, which ne
did for $4,000 from a well-known capital
ist through firm of equally well-known
lawyers.
The mortgage was made out after
search OF the title had proved satisfactory,
and the real estate agent, Wells, took his
client before Notary II. A. Cobb, and iden-
tilted her as Miss Dick; the acknowledge
ment was taken, the money paid over by
the attorneys of the capitalist, and the
woman departed. The transaction was
published among real estate records in the
daily press, whereupon the attention of
the real Miss Dick, who owns the prop
erty, was called to the matter. With her
agents she hastened to the notary, the
mortgage and the broker, and satisfied
them that they had been duped by
young, shrewd and consummately cunning
person. The fraudulent Miss Dick was
tall, lean, masculine in appearance, and
fat-chested, leading to the belief that the
imposter Is man, who assumed female
attire for the purpose of his scheme.
The boldness OF the imposture, the per-
sistency with which it was carried on, the
patience that waited so long for triumph,
really awaken admiration for the shrewd-
ness of the cheat But for the old-time
business men who have been taken in
there is no sympathy due. They are be-
ing laughed at by all San Francisco to-
day, and deservedly so. The idea that
anyone would engage in such transac-
tion without having positive evidence of
the identity of the person who wishes to
be his client is incredible. Yet the man
Wells, who is spoken of as honest and
faithful and fairly shrewd, seems to have
been blindly content with the representa-
tions the thief made and to have intro
duced him or her to the notary as the
identical person named in the mortgage
deed without any proper evidence as to
identity. So, too, the lawyers for the
capitalist appear to have parted with his
money to person they did not know,
and who had been identified to them only
by the sgent who negotiated for an in
cumbrance upon the property.
We repeat, such tale upon the stage
would be secuted as unreal. Yet we have
here the evidence that cautious and expe-
rienced business men actually aided in
mortgaging property and did lend money
upon it without scintilla of evidence
that the person claiming its ownership
was what she represented herself to be.
The boldness of the whole scheme appears
the more amazing when it is learned that
the real Miss Dick lives upon the prop
erty in question and is widely and well
known in the neighborhood. The i'm
poster was, therefore, in imminent peril of
being unmasked every time he or she
called upon the broker with reference 10
the property.
Really one ought not to wish for the
escape of criminals but so stupid were the
attorneys, money lender and broker in
this whole matter, and so admirably was
the imposture planned and carried out,
that one cannot but entertain something
of hope that the stupid members of the
transaction will have to suffer the full
loss of the $4,000 as lesson to them in
correct business methods.

BANGOR, January 18-Detectiye Nc
Namara, the Boston officer who was recently
engaged by the Maine Game Commissioners
to break up the gang of disciples of Cal
Graves, the game warden murderer, had an
other adventure yesterday morning, which
eclipses the first one when he descended up-
on the two Joys and arrested them and made
them suffer so heavily. He has continued
HIS crusade at the request of the game com
missiOners, although the poachers have sent
him word that they should shoot him.
Thursday he found another one of them in
a secluded spot, arrested him and took him
to Ellsworth, he paid the heaviest fines
the law allows.
This was too much for tie gang. and word
1avmg been sent to them that Detective Nc
Namara and one of his assistants were to
pass the night at the Franklin Road House
on their way to Milbridge, party of the law
breakers drove up to the lonely hotel about
O'Clock yesterday morning. They all carried
whips, and alighting they. banged upon the
door, uttering the most frightful oaths for
McNamara to appear. They told hostler
who was sent to meet them that they would
pay the detective for the trouble which he
had caused them by lashing him until he
would be glad to leave the country.
the noise, and with what men he could mus
ter to bis aid lie left the hotel by rear door
and walked around behind them. All of his
party were heavily armed, and the detective,
VINO has but one hand, carried a revolver
with which he covered the leader of the
crowd. The assailants did not see him until
he loudly commanded them not to make the
slightest movement or he would shoot them
down like dogs. They are all afraid of Nc
Namara on account of his past deeds, and
not one of them stirred, knowing that he
would keep his word.
He told them that he would give them
three minutes to leave the place before he
arrested and took the who.e party to Els
worth.
They thought they were bagged, although
the plucky detective understood that he did
not have sufficient force to make the arrests.
But the gang is cowardly aggregation, and
they skunk into their wagons In a sheepish
manner, and drove rapidly away, Mcnamara
shouting after them that he would arrest
every one that he found. and to keep clear Of
him.
The detectives nerve had again gotten him
out OF place WI ere he would have suffered
serious bodily harm.
