Make InfOrmations.
PRISONERS GET AwARM RECEPTION

The good men who represented the Granite
State Provident Association in Pittsburg
met cloud of sorrow and large crowd OF
people at Alderman McKenna's office yes
terday. The crowd was made up almost
altogether of laboring people and good
housewives. There were also among the as
semblage of several hundred people few
colored men. ALI of them had bitten at the
bright dreams of fortune held out to them
by this great loan association. Now they
wanted revenge, and there we're no looks OF
love cast at the defendants as they marched
into the Alderman's office under the care of
Detective Shore. who had worked up the
cases against them.
Inspector McAleese was in the crowd, too,
just to brush off any flies that might at
tempt to light on the Department of Public
Safety. He also had further interest
there, for when he quit talking to Alderman
McKenna the magistrate decided to post
pone the case for week.
SMALLER BAIL DEMANDED.
John NJ. Robb, the attorney for the de-
fense, objected because he did not want the
defendants to stay in Jail SO long. He sug-
gested that if they must wait SO long the bail
be fixed at about 81. 900 for each man.
Make it at least SIS, ,0OO" said Inspector Nc
Aleese over the magistrates shoulder.
You want to put the bail away out of reach"
exclaimed the attorney, growing angry. But
his anger gave away to despair when the In
Spector's answer came.

fix it. There are so people waiting to make In
formations against these men, and Just as sure
as one of them gets out on bail he will be re-
turned on new informations inside of ten min
utes.
his glasses and decided bond of S. 900 would
be required to secure the release OF each OF the
defendants.
Then the prisoners were called in from the
alderman's back Office where they had been
resting from the public gaze. The crowd parted
to let them pass. In the lead was corpulent
individual who wore neatly brushed black
broadcloth suit. and the name of Clark NJ.
Eggleston. He was philantbopic looking old
gentleman who might either be Sunday
school superintendent or the president OF a
country bank. The whiskers which decorated
his chin were snowy in their whiteness and
served to add to the length and appearance of
his well-rounded face. His head had appar-
emily bid a last farewell to hair many years ago,
but the cloud of rs charges of conspiracy. aided
by tall silk hat, served TO protect this shining
orb from the wintry blasts.
AN UNPLEASANT SURPRISE.
When the amount of the bail was named. he
exclaimed, "Whatl Three thousand dollarsr'
He did not shed any tears, but his eyes pro-
truded so far beyond his forehead that there
seemed to be danger of his shedding those USE

Behind Mr.. Eggleston came Henry Kim

covering left either, but carried bigger stock
of nerve than his aged partner. Robert Snyder
was there also, and wore the appearance of a
man of few years but many sorrows. NJ.

not there, and the trouble is that his present
whereabouts are unknown. No one appe cared to
give bond for the appearance of the defend
ants. and they were taken out to the patrol
wagon. By this time the crowd had gathered
outside, and as the trio mounted the wagon one
woman cried out: "See the old sucker sweatr'
That was the start; then almost ecah member
of the crowd hurled after the men a series of
farewells, all of which lacked the ring of SYM
pathy.
When they were gone Inspector McAleese
