A YOUNG SCOUNDREL.
His Father Has Spent Almost His
Entire Fortune
IN SHIELDING HIM FROM THE LAW
By Sight Drafts on His Father He Has Swindled
His Friends Out of SiOO,OOO-The Old Man,
Unable 10 Stand IT. Longer Turns Him
Over to the POlice-PrOminent
Ohio People.
SPECIAL Telegram to The Sunday Register.

COLUMBUS, o., December 19.-Late
tonight story Of wholesale and heavy
swindling by the son Of prominent
Ohio man leaked out from police circles
here.
Clinton c. Goldman Of Ravenna, presi-
dent Of the First National Bank OF that
place, and candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, On the Democratic ticket, Is
the chief character.
For nearly two year his father and
his friends have shielded him from the
laws penalties. Last August he pre-
sented a sight draft on his fathers bank
to Mr.. McKinnie, of the Neil House,
here, and secured $3.50 on 1t. The next
day he secured in the same way $3.50
from Claude Meeker, Governor Camp
BELLS private secretary. Both came
back protested, but young Goldman had
left town. Meeker and McKinnie wrote
to Coolman's father, whom they knew
well, relating the circumstances.
The reply was surprise indeed. Mr..
Goodman informed them that his son
was a victim of the gambling mania;
that he had drawn upon him for thous-
ands Of dollarS, and that in order TO
save him from disgrace he had honored
the drafts.
Nearly all his fortune had been spent
In this way. he had realized at last
that he could not avert the inevitable,
that his son would not cease until ne
faced the law and he had concluded to
let him take the laws penalty.
He advised Meeker and McKinnie TO
put the matter in the hands OF the
police. They did so, but until tonight
he has been successful in eluding de-
tectives.
He was arrested tonight in Allegheny
City, aud will no doubt go to the State
prison. He has swindled people in al |
the western States, wherever he had
friends, and the total is probably more
than hundred thousand dollars.

ELKINS FOR HARRISON.
Chairman Clarl1sOn Says He Was One OF
the Original Harrison Men and Is Cor
Him Yet.

Chairman Clar1son Says He Was One OF
the Original Harrison Men and Is Cor
Him Yet.
CHICAGO, December 19.-Chairman
James Clarkson, of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, gave what he alleged
TO be President Harrison's reasons for
the appointment of Stephen b. Elkins
as Secretary of War. The story as
given by Mr.. Clarkson negatives the
stories that have been printed about
Mr. Elklns having been Blaine man,
and that he consulted the Secretary be-
fore he accepted the place.
"Elkins has been a Harrison man
since before the nomination OF the
President" said Mr.. Clarkson. "and
had he at that time had permanent
residence, he would have been one OF
the original members of the Cabinet.
Contrary TO the popular belief, Elkins
led the Harrison forces at the coven-
tion, and he was the brains, energy and
electricity of Mr.. Harrison's supporters
and he carried with him the promises
made by Mr.. Harrison.
"This may look bit queer, but 1t Is
true nevertheless. Mr.. Elkins is one OF
my warmest personal friends and l
know what am talking about 1 don't
say that he did not consult Blaine be-
fore he accepted the nomination, but l
should like to wager good deal that he
did not. He is now a settled resident of
an influential State, and being strong
adherent of the President it was natural
that he should be named"

PHILADELPHIA, December 17.-Mrs.
Josephine Smith twenty-five years old
this afternoon shot and instantly killed
in the PoweltoD Avenne Station OF the

vet the police have been unable to dis
cover the cause that induced the woman
to kill Hobbs, but the supposition is
that they had been intimate and that
Hobbs was leaving her. After the
shooting the woman cody handed her
revolver over to an officer and without
any remark accompanied him to the
station house. She is the daughter OF
wealthy mill owner OF this city.
