THAT EASTERN MORTGAGE MAN.

The EAGLE contained an editorial the
other day giving the details Of a mort
gage scheme which netted a fortune to a
combination that had taken advantage of
the Alliance fright of eastern money
loaners. An incident of the kind comes TO
US. through a reliable source, occurring
southwest of this city. There was s.. 500
mortgage on a farm of nearly four hun
bred acres with accrued interest of $500.
The owner who had joined the Alliance.
accepted hundred dollars for his equity,
last fall, after he had put in loo acres of
wheat. The young man who bought the
equity, wrote doleful tale about the Al
lance, etc, to the holder of the mortgage
who lives down in Connecticut. The
shrewd % Yankee wrote back that be
would throw off one-third of the principal
and all the interest, and last week that
Young man harvested over three thousand

farm for nothing and about one thousand
dollars of clear money besides. Both the

gage were thin skinned fools

sHoPI.IFrERs ARRESTED.

For the past week or more the fact has
dawned upon the merchants that goods
disappeared from the counters and other
places in the stores where goods were ex-
posed. To satisfy themselves some of the
business men concluded TO not give public
ity to their suspicious. but quietly awaited
their time to, If possible, catch the guilty
parties. Since that time certain parties
were caught al purloining some counter
goods. The proprietors OF these stores IN
formed Chief Burrows of what they knew
Yesterday afternoon, and gave him descrip-
tions of some of the shoplitters. He and
Officer Bedford Wood set out and found
the two parties they were looking for, and
promptly lodged them in jail. The thieves
are two colored men. One WAS found in a
house and the other was arrested while
