A SMART YOUNG MAN.
He Suindlcs Some People in
Mexico.


GALVESTON, Tex, Dec. 3.-Geo.
L. Clark. travelling agent Of the
Missouri Pacific Railway, who has
just returned from Mexico, tells HOW
a smart young man passed himself
OF as the son OF an American states
man. There arrived in the City of
Mexico, November 24.h, a person
calling himself John q. Carlisle,
Jr., who claimed TO be a son Of
Senator Carlisle of Kentucky. He
formed the acquaintance of promi-
nent citizens, among them General
Frisbee. who endorsed n daft on
Senator Carlisle for $1,000.
"Carlisle" soon left on the train
for Monterey. General Frisbee's
suspicious were aroused by his sud-
den disappearance and he tele-
graphed Senator Carlisle, who re-
piled: "My two sons are at home. -
The telegraph was then brought
into requisition to arrest the man at
Monterey, but he hal retraced his
steps 10 san Luis Potosi, and there
he was arrested on the night of No
vember 23rd, aud put in Jail.
Prior to his arrival in the City Of
Mexico, the TITO Republics stated
that John q. Carlisle, Jr., and jas.
G. Blaine, Jr., would arrive in the
capital on the 9th. Some Ameri-
cans went to the depot to receive
the sons Of the two distinguished
American statesmen. They asked
"Carlisle" what had become of
James g. Blaine, Jr., and Gear
Isle" confijentially Whispered:
"Between you aud me, I had to
leave JIM" There was an exchange
OF courtesies and drinks in the course
of which the gentleman parading
under the name Of Carlisle ingrati-
ated himself into their affections and
deceived them with real tact He
then called on several Americans,
including n BAPTIST clergyman, who
after his departure found SIS mis-
sing from q charity box.
