VERY BAD POLICY.
A Queer Transaction in
Insurance Causes G. w.
BloodgoOd's Arrest.

George w. Bloodgood, twenty years OF
age, and member of the we'll known
and highly respectable Bloodgood family
of Long Island, residing at No. los Con-
gress street, on the Heights, was arrested
last evening by Detective McNally on the
serious charge of receiving money under
false pretences. The complainant is
Jacob Du Bois, carpenter, whose plcae
business is on the corner Of ST. Paul's and
Oakland avenues.
The case. so far as can be learned, is
about as f0llows:-Bloodgood is employed
named Wachenstein. at No. 32 Liberty
street, New York. The next Office in the
same place is occupied by 5. A. Coyken-
dali, another insurance broker. Blood
good secured Du Bois' insurance early
last November, and asked Coykendall to
make out the necessary papers. Coyken-
dali turned IL over 10 Insurance Agent
GopsIll, of this city, VINO in turn placed
IL in the hands of Van Houten
a. Sherwood, on Washington street. MIR.
Van Houten of the firm made out the
policies aud sent them TO Du Bois. This
was on November 20 From time to time
he asked Gopsill for his money, but Cop
sill said he would pay Van Houten when
he received IL from Coykendall At all
events Van Houten, being unable 10 col
lect MS money, cancelled the policies and
SO notified Du BOis, asking for the return
of the policy.
In return, Van Houten received the fol-
lowing postal
JERSEY CRY, Jan. 10 1891.
Messrs. Van Ho3teg q ,SheTfv0od.-
DEAR SIRs Yours received and will not
turn the policy to you until you return the pre-
MUM that paid your agent.
Respectfully.
J. DU BoTs
n. B.-I paid him in full for all policies for one
year
This surprised Mr.. Van Houten and
the other interested parties, and when
the matter was looked into it was found
that Bloodgood had collected the money.
A warrant was sworn out on the charge
of jacob Du Bois, who charges that
BIoodgood, representing himself 20 be an
agent OF Van Houten, collected $1i0, with
fraudulent intent.
Bloodgood denies all intent of fraud
and says the money will be paid back TO
Du Bois when the case is brought up.
The hearing will be held Tuesday morn
ing next at The Second District Police
Court. Bloodgood was admitted TO bail
in the sum of $3.50, r. p. Graham of No.
ass Central avenue becoming his bonds
maD.
Young Bloodgood is well known on the
Heights. He is a graduate of No. s
School and member of Principal Gull
ford's reading circle.

SHERMAN IS dead
'fhe Last Great Captain of
the War Gone to Eter-
nal Peace.

General Sherman died a little after
noon today. His death was expected
early this morning. At four o'clock this
morning General Sherman was feverish,
his breathing was lsbored and rapid. He
seemed to be very uneasy. At ten min
utes past six o'clock DR.. Barrett told the
reporters that there had been a very seri-
Gus change in General Sherman's condi-
ton for the worse and that the
end was rapidly approaching. The
trouble is due to the congested
condition Of his lungs. and after violent
&c Of coughing he seemed to suffer great
pain, and had an alarming sinking turn.
The glands of the throat were very much
swollen and the accumulation of mucus
was so great that be was unable to throw
IL of by reason of his declining strength.
AT seven o'clock DR.. Barrett said to the
reporters who gathered around him,
There is nothing more to say than / told
you an hour ago. The General is very
low apparently, and his condition has not
changed for the better"
At forty-five minutes past eleven DIR,
Alexander issued the following bulleun:-
General Sherman is sinking rapidly.
The end Is expected soon"

Three OF Them Held For Trial-N1ctims
Terrorized.
That the police are hampered in their
work in ferreting crime was made eyld-
ent this morning in the Second District
Police Court, when Foster, McMahon
and Worthwine, the three ''Glass House
Angels" who were arrested for being
connected with the robberies on Fair
mount avenue last Sunday night, were
arraigned before Justice Aldridge.
Detectives Hottie, of the Fourth pre-
cinct, and O'Neil, of the Seventh, have
been investigating the case, and had Sc
cured enough evidence 10 warrant their
action in arresting the prisoners
c. H. O'Neil, whose grocery store was
robbed, testified 10 the robbery and
amount lost He did not see the robbery
committed, but he identified the prisoners
as persons he had seen hanging around
the neigh Dorhood.
Mr.. McIntyre, whose saloon was also
robbed the same night, was called to the
stand. In loud voice he said he was
robbed, but didn't know who did il. He
tried to shield the prisoners.
Mrs. Mcintyre the wife of the preced-
ing witness, WAS then called. and tssti-
fed that one of the prisoners had been in
the saloon the night OF the robbery, and
"thin he wint in ana sat down by my boy
and whin he was goin' home he bid me
good night like gIntleman" She, more
than her husband, tried to shield the
prisoners.
Detective Hottie taxed her with the
story she told him Monday morning and
which was in effect what she told TIE
NEWS relative 10 boys threatening the
place; but she tried TO wrixgle out of it.
The detectives had tobacco which they
found on the prisoners aud which O'Neil
identified as being the kind he sold. The
paper had blood stains upon il, as had
also other papers which were in O'Neil's
store Monday morning.
Justice Aldridge committed the prison
ers for The Or. nd Jury.
The publication in The JERSEY CITY
NEWS Of the carryings on of this gang
has created considerable annoyance
among the members, and the police
have taken the matter in hand, and will
do their utmost to break the con- bination
up. Since Tuesday very few have hung
around the corner - COrnelison and Fair
mount avenues. Open threats have been
made against the NeIntyres, and 1t is this
perhaps that made them anxious this
morning to shield the prisoners

Angry Cattle Men.

NASHVILLE, July 24.-The American
says: Tennessee cattle dealers and
growers are very much incensed and ex-
cited over the recent order of Secretary
Rusk of the United States bureau Of
agriculture, establishing quarantine re-
lations against Tennessee cattle except
for immediate slaughter, and declaring
to the world that's contagious and in
fictitious disease known as spleneticfever
exists in this and other Southern states.
The statement, so far as it relates to
Tennessee, is false and will have the ef-
feet o: killing the cattle industry of the
state, if not entirely 80 as to exempt this
territory from the destructive provis.
ion of the order. Tennessee cattle are
not infected with splenetic fever OF
pleuro-pneumonia, and the secretary's
order is regarded as exceedingly arbi-
trary and unjust, and intensely sectional
and purely to the interest of the Western
cattle growers and the beginning of a
commercial warfare against the South.
Cattle dealers here and growers will
make an effort with the aid Of q United
States senator who has already inter-
ested himself in the matter, to have the
secretary modify his invidious ruling. "
