The Victim of Faro Bank Successfully

Taken In at the Muzzle of Revolver.
DAYTON, O.. Aug. 16.-A boldly-con-
ceived robbery, which had Il touch OF
the Jesse James method, occurred about
the noon hour yesterday. Sam Wag-
ner & Son keep a palatial saloon with
gambling rooms upstairs at 10 South
Main street. During the past three
DAYS a stranger, who claimed Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, as his home, had been
PLAYING faro and had lost a large sum

the stranger went broke and begged
for loan. Sam Wagner, Sr., accom-
modated him, and the stranger signed

Polling went out and lost SIS against

bought himself doubleaction revolv-
err. At noon Polling entered Wagner's
gambling rooms. Steve and Bill Le-
compile, we'll known gamblers, and S.
Wagner, ST., were the only occupants

A DENIAL FROM RAUM.
The Issue of Original Pension Certificates
Still Going On notwithstanding sser-
tiOns to the Contrary.

The Issue of Original Pension Certificates
Still Going On notwithstanding Asser-
tiOns to the Contrary.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Commissioner
Raum of the pension bureau, in an in
terview with a United Press reporter,
yesterday, emphatical1y denied the pub
Gshed statements that no original pen
sion certificates haG been issued during
the month of July and the eleven week
days of the present month, and submit
ted figures showing what the pension
office was accomplishing. The work
for the fiscal year just ended shows
that there were 144, 597 more certifi-
Gates issued than for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1883. During the past
month 1852 original certificates were
issued under old laws, while 30 494
original certificates were issued under
the act of June 81, 1890. The issue of
original certificates in July, 1883, was
3,444.
The commissioner said: "There is no
understanding or agreement between
Secretary Foster and myself that no
more certificates shall be presented for
payment until after September. Upon
the contrary, all the agents are pro-
vided with funds to make daily pay
ments of all pension certificates en-.
titled to payment during the month of
August. The work of adiudicating
pension claims will go steadily for
ward. 1t is my expectation that the
Office will issue 1870. 600 certificates from
August 1 to December 1, or 14S, 900 for
the first five months of the present fis-
cal ppar''

A DESPERATE GAME.

A Well Conceived Plan to Raise Money
Frustrated r. Dudley Prayer, a
Wealthy Citizen of Memphis, Tenn. the
Victim of Bold Game. from which He
Escaped With a Merely Nominal Loss, but
After an Undesirable Experience.
MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. 14.-R. Dud-
ley Prayer, president of the Security
and the Memphis City banks, and one
of the most prominent and wealthy
citizens of this city was chloroformed
and robbed last evening at the Gavoso
hotel, by man giving his name as Jno.
A. Morris. of New Orleans.
Early yesterday morning a gentle
man registering as "Jno. A. Morris,
New Orleans" was assigned a room at
the Gayoso
About 2:3O yesterday afternoon
DELL boy procured a bottle of camphor
for him from the house drug store.
Shortly after that he dispatched a note
to Mr.. Prayer requesting him to call
at the hotel at once on business of inn
portance. Mr.. Prayer was at
the hotel in few minutes and
was ushered into Mr.. Morris
room. The latter introduced himself
as Jno. A. Morris of the Louisiana Lot
terry Co., of New Orleans. He said the
lottery company had been antagonized
greatly of late in that state; that their
investments had been unfavorable and
lottery property generally was unsafe,
and he wished to consult him in regard
to it.
After giving him what information
he could in regard to Memphis moneyed
institutions, Mr.. Prayer turned to go,
but was startled to find two revolvers,
one in each of Morris hands, staring
him in the face. Morris said: II am
desperate man; II have no money, my
family in New Orleans are in destitute
circumstances and 1 must have money
You must indorse check for SIS, 0OO.''
After some parelying Mr.. Prayer
finally agreed to indorse a check for
$500. The check was drawn on the
Hibernian national bank of New Or
leans, and Mr.. Frayzer Endorsed it ''R.
d. Prayer" hoping the cashier at his
bank would suspect something wrong
and refuse it, as he always Endorsed his
checks ''R. Dudley Prayer"
bell boy was called and the check
sent to the Memphis bank, Mr.. Prayer
being kept a prisoner in the hotel At
ter the boy had gone, Morris walked
over to where Mr.. Frayzer was stand
ing, and clapping napkin over his face
threw him on the bed, and that is the
last of his adventure that Mr.. Frayzer
can recall.
Late last evening, Mr.. White. pro-
prietor of the hotel, was notified that
there was something wrong in Morris
room, and calling clerk, the door of
the room was broken open and Mr..
Frayzer was found unconscious, toss
ing and turning on the bed. The odor
of chloroform in the room was over
towering.
Morris was gone, and with him Mr..
Prayers watch and about $50, but the
check lay on the table unpaid. The
boy had taken 1T to the bank twice at
Morris request, payment, however. be-
ing each time refused. The police are
searching all over the city for Morris.

THREE CONTINGENCIES,

Under Which. or Either of Them, President
Harrison will Refuse to Allow His Name
to be Presented to the Republican Ma
tional Convention for denomination.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Cape May, N. j., says:
President Harrison will, before the
meeting of the republican national
convention of 1899, declare over his own
signature in the most emphatic maner
that he is not a candidate for the nom
nation to be made by that convention.
The president decided upon this course
within the last two weeks. This is
supposed to be the cause of his
calling hither Clarlson of the
national committee and Stephen b.
Ell1ins. to tell them that they might
inform those republicans who are TAX
ing sides either for or against the re-
nomination of the president that they
are doing so unnecessarily. The deci-
sion of the president not to permit his
name to go before the convention was
made with some reservations. These
reservations depend upon three condi-
tions: First, if the present bitter
opposition within the republican
party to Mr.. Harrison's renomi-
nation shall continue till next
spring he will withdraw; sec
ond, if Mr.. Blaine shall be well and
strong enough to take the nomination
and the party's demand for him contin-
ues as strong and sincere as it appears
at the present time, Mr.. Harrison will
withdraw: third, if Mr.. Blaine having
sufficient health and strength. shall be
willing to take the nomination, Mr..
Harrison will withdraw
The information that the president
has reached this decision is from a
source not to be questioned as to its
veracity. Mr.. blaine knows that the
president occupies his position. Mr..
GARRISON. Mr.. Ell1ins, Mr.. Quay and
Mr.. Plat know it. Mr.. Quay has been
advised not to force his Blaine boom in
Pennsylvania and he has called a halt.
