NO FURTHER ARRESTS REPORTED UP TO DARK
LAST NIGHT.

Arrivss-Tha Authorities Moving
Theoretically in the
Matter.

of Financial Cooperation, yesterday,
revealed nothing new in that locality.
The Office had been put in apple-pie Or
der by the Janitress, and the gentleman
in charge temporarily was putting in
the time in an exceedingly quiet and
comfortable manner, and had no news
for the reporters, saying he was simply
awaiting developments.
At the postof1ice, Postmaster Cowden
said he had no advices of any other ar
rests, but he had been informed from
the East that the whole available force
of postoflice inspectors had been turned
loose after Lukens, Ruby, Dolner,
Hughes. Fouse, and the rest, and he
might hear of some of them being
taken into custody at any time. Some
mail had arrived in the city for the
Fraternity, among the lot being a
special delivery letter, but nothing had
been sent out of the Office, and none of
their mail would be delivered at present.
United States Marshal II. S. White
arrived in the city yesterday morning.
and held conference with Mr.. Cowden
regarding the situation. Be left for
Bolton, his homo, at $50 in the after
noon.
1t was stated yesterday that before
leaving the city, the officers OF the Fra
ternity checked out OF bank about all
the money not covered by the Eggs
ton attachment, the amount of that
being 81, 03l. An inspection OF the Fra
ternity check book yesterday showed
that the last check, the purpose OF
which appeared on the stub, was dated
July 1st, and called for
SS3. 80, for rent. The next
stub, No. 527, was marked "spoiled,"
and a torn check, to match the stub,
was lying III the book, The next fol-
lowing check was missing and the stub
was blank, and If the large balance OF
cash is gone the blank stub and vacant
check probably tells the tale OF how it
was gotten out Of bank.
A telegram from Petersburg, re-
ceived by the REGISTER lass night,
stated that Newall had given bond in
the SUM OF 81, goo, to appear at the next
term OF the United States Court, Judge
j. j. Jacob, counsel for the Fraternity,
appearing Tor hlm.
A gentleman who knew Mr.. Fouse,
of the Fraternity, quite intimately,
having made his acquaintance while he
was here in the city, tells an interesting
story OF how the fraternity was launch
cd upon such successful business ca
reer, the facts having been
obtained from FouSe himself.
When it was determined TO
60 into business, and all the preliminary
details had been arranged, and the
Philadelphia Office opened, the services
of one of the best secret society organ
izers in the country were obtained, and
ne was set to work, He sent ont depu-
ties north, south, east and west,
and divisions were organized in cities
and towns, great and small. all over
the Eastern and Central States. These
were arranged to start on certain day,
and they all got of in a bunch together,
the result being that the first day money
was received, Sl1,00 came in in one
lump. That it continued TO come there
after, is very evident from the amount
which reached this city after their re-
mOval here.
A reporter yesterday inspected some
letters received by Fraternity men in
business way, coming from one and an
other of the people who were running
the thing, and to say they are interest
ing is to put it mildly.
