STORY OF A FAMOUS FORGERY
Recalled by the Coming Release OF
Austin BidWeH in London.

Austin Bidwell in London.
CHICAGO. Sept. 20.-A cable dispatch
from London this morning announces that
the sentence Of the notorious American for
ger, Austin Bidwell. has been cut down,
and that he will be released in February.
William Pinkerton. who effected Bidwells
capture, when shown the dispatch to-day,
expressed his entire satisfaction at the re-
hitting of the sentence.
The poor fellow has been in prison
twenty years." said Mr. Pinkerton, ''and he
Is, J think, sufficiently punished for his
crime. That forgery is one of the greatest
on record. Bidwell and his brother former
ly ran candy store in this city. They went
away and finally conceived the plan of loot
ing the Bank of England. A plumber of
bills OF exchange we're counterfeited and
$l,OOO,OOO was secured on them. The forgery
was discovered that night and the police
went to work. Previously had furnished
the London police with photographs of the
gang and by these they were enabled to fix
the crime where it belonged"
Austin Bidwell made his escape to Cuba -,
where Pinkerton caught bim in company
with his bride Bidwell escaped, but was
recaptured and taken to England, where he
was tried and sentenced in 1874, A cipher
letter to Bidwell gave "a clew which led to
the recovery of $3.50, 900 of the money which
had been converted into United States
bonds. In the meantime the older Bidwell
brother had been captured in Scotland and
was sentenced for life. Becoming paralyzed
while in prison, his pardon was procured.
Since that time he and other members OF
the family have been tireless in their efforts
to secure the release of Austin who was but
25 years of age when he was sentenced.

number Of strange deaths among the men,
bers of these tribes. For a week they have

KILLED IN sRLF-DEFENsE.
Two Farmers Shoot Out a Feud
Caused by G Stove.

Two Farmers Shoot Out a Feud
Caused by e. Stove.
MACON, GA, Sept. 20.-Gray's station.
few miles above Macon. on the Macon and
Northern railroad, was the scene of a trag-
edy yesterday afternoon, the particulars Of
which were brought TO Macon last night.
Clark Smith, a planter, shot and killed
Ezekiel Crib, another planter, about 4
O'Clock In the afternoon and is now in GUS
tody.
An account of the killing az learned from
the deputy sheriff Of Jones county, MIR
bradley, is that Smith was standing in a
store at Gray's station, when he was ap-
preached by parties who told him that
Crlbo, who had an old grudge against
smith, was outside and had threatened to
kill him.
Smith was advised not to come out, but
he said he had to go to mill to attend to
some business, and, picking up Winchester
rlne, ne walked from the store and got in
IN MS wagon and drove off. He passed
Crlbo, but had nothing to say to him. When
smith seated himself in the wagon he laid
his rifle across his lap, and had hardly
started of when he was stopped by another
party, who wanted to speak to him on bust
ness.
As the wagon came to standstill, Crib
ran up and began cursiDg Smi b, saying:
- you, / heard you promised to kill
me, and now is as good a time as any for
you and to settle our differences" at the
same time drawing his pistol. At this
smith grabbed his Winchester and rose in
the wagon, just as Crib fired, missing
him. AS soon as Crib fred Smith threw
his rifle TO his shoulder, and, taking careful
aim, put ball through Cribs heart. The
ball passed through the body and came
ont at the right side and was buried In the
ground.
Crlbb managed to fire one more shot then
fell back dead, without uttering a word.
The firing caused Smiths team to run
away, aud when his horse begVn running he
threw bis rifle down and turned his atten-
tlon TO his team. Seeing, however that he
had killed Crib, as soon as he could get his
team under control, he drove back and sur
rendered TO the deputy sheriff, saying he
had killed Crib in self-defense.
Smith is about 45 years Of age and hos
wife and family. He is coneidered
splendid farmer ard good citizen.
Cribb was over 30 years of age and had
also large family. He also was good
farmer.
Deputy Sheriff Bradley SAYS the trouble
between the two men first started several
months ago, when Smith sold Cribo cook
ing stove, for which Crib never paid
Smith took the stove back, and this made
CRIB very angry, and resulted in some hot
words between the two men, Crib abusing
Smith beyond reason.

Mr.. Graham is the defendant in a suit
brought by an Illinois lawyer to recover a
note for S., 900 signed by Mr.. Graham. In
defense Mr.. Graham says that several years
ago he had in his employ a servant girl
named Mrs. Francis. She was an illiterate
woman, and Mr.. Graham, out of the kind
ness of her heart. undertook to teach her
how TO write. One day she asked to be
shown about business forms, and he wrote
as illustration the following note:
For value received l promise to pay to Mrs
Francis $1,000. ARCHIBALD GRAHAM
In spite OF his protests Mrs Francis seized
the note and demanded payment. 1t was
refused and then Mrs. Francis sold the note
to Chicago note broker named French,
who. as an innocent purchaser brings suit
to recover its face value. Sensational de-
velopments are expected.

We want TO rouse all our families TO the
duty of sacred song. We want each family
OF our congregation TO he a singing school.
Childish petulancs, ohduracy and intracta-

singing in the household, aud then our little
ones would be pre- AIRED for the great con-
gregatiou on the Sabbath day, their voices

into one river and then rolling in united
strength to the sea. So | would have all

voice of PRAYER and praise pouring it into
the great tide of public worship that rolls
on aud on to empty into the great. wide
heart Of God. Never can we have our
church sing as it ought, until our families
| sing as they ought.
There will be a great revolution on this
subject in all our churches. God will come
down by his spirit and rouse UP the old

than half awake since the time of our grand
