a Westerner Named Hunter Is Doing n
Thriving Business.

New YORK, March 17.--A beautifully
engraved check, with all the ear marks
of value, came to the National Park
bank Yesterday for collection from one
OF its regular correspondents In Seattle,
WASH, and did not remain In the city
long before 1t was marked fraud In
very big black letters, and payment on
it was refused by the Chase National
bank, ON which 1t was drawn. IL pur-
ported 30 be check of Ford, Boghton &
Co., bankers, of Benton, o., for 81 900,
and was drawn payable to the order of
Charles Hunter. 1t had every appear
ance ofbeing all right. 1t was indorsed
by Charles Hunter and L. Cleveland, and
duly paid by the Seattle bank, at which
1t was presented.
The Park bank officers recognize an
old acquaintance in Mr.. Hunter, and
think he is doing very successful busi-
ness inthe west cashing the checks of u
mythical bank. 1t is only short time
since 4 similar one came to hand from
Texas where it had realized a similar
sum- One does not have to negotiate
thousand-dollar checks very often In
order TO realize very handsome income.
The average western banker, when he
is bitten by one of these sharpers, says
nothing and pockets his losses, as he
does not care to have his customers think
that lie has been played for a sucker" ["
But publicity Is the only weapon which
is effectual against them, for 1T Is the
easiest thing In the world for glib
tongued stranger to get hotel keeper
or business man to identify him at the
local bank There Is no such firm in
Banten, o., as Ford, Boghton & Co.,
but one of very similar name of Bough-
ton, Ford & Co., so that actual forgery
can not be charged against the swindler
who used the bogus check. 1t is neat
trick and apparently well worked, for
the fraud Is not discovered until the
worthless paper reaches the Chase Ma
tionaI bank in this city.

OUR SOUTHERN BROTHERS.
Some Interesting Figures from Brazil and
'Venezueia.

sOme interesting ElRures from bFhSh anu
Venezueia.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE bureau
of American republics has furnished
the following interesting budget of
South American news:
During December 1887 immigrants
arrived in Brazil OF these 6,Os9 were
Russians, 5,160 Portuguese, 5,055 Itali-
ans, 1,421 Spaniards, 692 Austrians and
AL, Germans. The total immigra-
tion into Brazil during 1890 was
113,O53. The new Brazilian constitution
provides that the congress of the repub-
lie shall not declare war against any ma
tion until arbitration has been attempted
witout success. The new Brazilian con-
stitution restricts the coasting trade to
vessels carrying the Brazilian flag, and
permits the several states of the republic
to tax imported merchandise to the
amount of Is per cent. ad valorem.
Statistical returns from Venezuela
show great prosperity during the last
fiscal year. The national customs rev.
enue amounted to $4,000, 900; the total
exports amounted to $ls,000,000 more
than any year in the history of the coun
try, and the imports were Sis, 900, ,0Ot
more, OF which S4,600,OO0 came from
Finland and So, 900, 900 from the United
States. The national debt was reduced
to $23, SIT, 900, and the population of the
republic in 1890 was 2,239,0 900.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, March 17.--W. A. Pink

of prosecuting Hennessy's slayers, and
says the outbreak and lynching was
what he expected. Two weeks ago Mr..
Pinkerton was In New Orleans, and he
received assurance from over 100 of the
most prominent citizens that, II the cow
ardly murder was left unayenged by the
jury, the Italians would surely meet
their fate at the hands of an angry pop
ulace. Mr.. Pinkerton was present dur
ing the impaneling of the jury, and as
serts that $50 of the talesmen summoned
we're In the power of O'Malley and men
who would not stop at anything to re-

was aware Of this at the commencement
of the trial, but was powerless. Mr..

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 17.-Jerry
Rusk has his mad up. He doesn't pre-
tend 10 be diplomatist, but he Is urging
on the state department that certain rep
resentations be made to the foreign gov
ernments discriminating against the
American hog. lie wants 1t done with
all the vigor that can be injected into
diplomatic correspondence. Uncle Jerry
says In effect to Secretary Blaine: BE
polite about lit, but let them understand
that we are tired OF their nonsense and
mean business" This relates to some
instructions said to be on their way TO
Minister Phelps at Berlin. Secretary
Rusk was asked what he thought OF the
alleged statement made by DIR. Won Boet-
ticher i'm the reichstag on behalf of the
German government to the effect that
the new sanitary measures adopted In
the United States were inadequate, and
therefore that the government did not
intend to rescind the prohibition placed
upon the importation OF American hog
products. He said:
/ can hardly believe that such a state
ment has been made, for IL imports wiilful
or pretended ignorance of the legislation
now In force In this country providing Tor
meat inspection. The last meat inspection
law pdSStu Uy COTiSFtsS PfoNtute hth khD
most thorough and complete system Of In
spection possible, and II will be more thor
ough than that now in force In any other
country I'm the world. Not only will cattle
and hogs be examined Immediately prior 10
slaughter. but 1 have the power TO cause
post mortem examination to be made, and
in the case of swine microscopic examine
tion all export hog products, and every pre-
caution that science can avail itself OF 70
detect disease will be adopted. The certif-
cate issued by this government
after such examination will guarantee
that the animal from which the
product came was free of disease. IL an
ante-mortem examination and micro
scopic examination after death will not sat-
isfy the German government OF the purity
of our hog products, then IL Is simply be-
cause II purposely proposes not to be salts
fed with any system OF inspection. This
government has long and patiently suffered
the imputatiou placed upon its meat prod
uct by foreign nations under cover cf lust
such pretexts, but the time has about ar
rived with this unjust discrimination
against our meat products and the FALSE
statements as TO their purity as the cavuSs
for prohibition must cease. Such state
ments as imputed TO DIR. Won Boettichel
will no longer be permitted to go unchal-
lenged by this government, and such redress
as the laws of this country permit to be had
should In my Judgment be enforced.

who has served in the stationery division
for, twenty-eight years. Mr.. Hall was
81 years old, and SO diminutive that he

ployment.
The little fellow was an expert at

year, out OF which he was able to save
enough to buy some property and main
tain a horse q carriage. Halls bones
were OF such peculiar composition that
they broke ON the slightest provocation.
1T is stated that he sustained twenty.
seven different fractures during his life.
Six weeks ago he broke his leg, which
rapidly knit together, but his stomach

THE THREAD MILLS.
Labor Troubles Continue at the Clark
Establishment at Newark.


Establishment at Newark.
New YORK, March 17,vThere is every
probability that the girls in all depart
ments OF the Clark Finread company S
mill at work at Kearney will strike. 1t
came out yesterday that this course was
decided upon in the secret meeting of the
girls on Saturday afternoon. At the
same time strong appeal was written
and published for united action. The
girls will not talk about the matter, but
1t is said they believe that nearly all en-
ployed In the mills will come out at the
call. The spinners will have no hand In
the matter. They say they neither en-
courage nor discourage the idea. Still
they believe that a general strike of the
girls will help their cause. On the other
hand, the belief of some who think they
know the character of the Clarks Is, that
they will Immediately close the mills and
perhaps withdraw from Newark entirely.
This Mr.. VIM. Clark, the treasurer Of
the company, has repeatedly said he
would do in case OF continued labor
troubles,

Senator German is credited with the
statement that the democratic policy In
the next congress touching the tariff
would be to offer no general bill, like the
Mills bill, for instance, but to pass sepa-
rate bills through the house OF repre-
sentatives reducing the duties on certain
articles, or putting certain other articles
on the free list, some of which reductions
and repeals of duty could be carried In
the senate. The idea is to secure such
reductions as can be passed through the
senate and not go to the country on a
tariff bill, at least until attempt shall
have been made to reduce or repeal
duties on certain articles of general con-
sumption,

Mr.. Crisp is a brave aud able man
who has done his party conspicuous
service, but he does not repre- ent so
definitely and positively as does Mr..
Mills the Democratic position on the
tariff. Mr.. Crisp comes from GeOr-
gia, where Vandalism took root and is
still in the floWer-a State where all
sorts of political heresies grow rank.
1t is not good ground in which to
look for sound Democratic timber
AppedI-AUaldnche.
There is much wailing and sadness
on the part of the mugwump tariff
cranks, the sub-treasury cranks and
disappointed Republicans. Conserv-
alive Democracy is in the saddle by
reason of the election of Crisp, and
the "wise counselors' will hardly be
able to break up the party and in
sure defeat by following the "logic-
al" phantom as in the last campaign,
and it is time for all Democratic
papers to accept the situation and
make the most of harmonizing the
party for victory in '92. Mr.. Mills,
II seems, too, came from State that
gave birth to MAGNETISM, the worst
of all political heresies.

RABBETH 6 DUNLOP.
The Big Mil and Elevator Enterprise
A Move in the Right Direction.

The mill enterprise by John T..
Rabbeth and Joe p. Dunlop, an
nounced yesterday by the LEAF
CHRONICLE, means more for Clarks-
vile and the surrounding country
than our readers have generally
thought. 1t is the first break in the
dead, stand-still feeling that has
lowered over the city since the tinan-
cial crash of one year ago, which
people thought would give the city
a ten-years set back. 1t is the first
move of any consequence to follow
up the Gracey-Woodward furnace
enterprise, and one that looks to the
speedy res toration of confidence
starting other people to doing some
thing.
1t promises much to our farming
people in the way of establishing
GAINESVILLE as the central grain mar
ket of the lower Cumberland valley.
1t also promises to make GAINESVILLE
-four market unsurpassed by any
place.
1t will give renewed life and ener-
gy to every department of business
and put property on the upward
grade. This last is already seen in
the price paid for the location-$3, 900
for a lot that sold for 81, 900 three
years ago.
They propose to build mill that
will cost not less than 1856, 600, with a
capacity of $50 barrels of flour per
day, large elevator for the storage
of grain. This will put Clarksyille
in the way of handling many thou
sands of bushels of grain annually.
They are live, enterprising young
men with the means and ability for
conducting such business, and will
be able to keep this mill going every
day in the year.
Mr. Rabbeth is one of the best mil
lers in this section, and has made the
business a success. He is now max
ing the finest grades of flour ever
manufactured IN this city, and has
never had a single barrel returned.
He will put in the new mill the
finest machinery to be had and con-
struct the whole of it on the most
modern plan.
The mill will be operated on the
safe plan for reasonable profit on
every barrel of -four turned out ;
buying wheat every day at the mar
ket price and selling flour the same
way, taking no chances on specula-
ton.
1t will succeed, and we shall re-
loice for their success. Who will be
the next to start a big enterprise
here?

The Ohio Valley.

The New Era says that the con-
tract for the construction of the Ohio
Valley from Hopkinsville to Prince
ton will be let within the next two
weeks and that work will be pushed
as speedily as practicable.
1t also says that there is little doubt
that the O. V. has leased the G. d p.
branch, and that it will be allowed
to run passenger train over the
Memphis line from the Princeton
junction to the city for the present.
1t is estimated that road can be
built from the junction to the city
for $4,000.
