A FAIR NAME TARNISHED
EDWARD NJ. FIELDS HORIZON CON-
TINUES TO DARKEN.
The Crooked Transactions of the Defunct
Firm Now Foot UP Nearly $4OO,ooo.
Field Indicted for Forgery-Weichers
Connected With the Fraud.

New York, Dec. 1S.-As the investi-
CATION by District Attorney Nicoll, into
the failure OF Field, Lindley, Weichers
& Co. progresses, the horizon darkens
for Edward NJ. Field. So far the dis
covered crooked transactions of the de-
funct firm foot up nearly $400, 900. This
involves many we'll known creditors of
the partnership headed by Field.
The grand jury, today, returned an
Indictment against Edward M. Field,
charging him with forgery in the second
degree. The indictment is predicated
on statement made by bankers Knauth,
Nachod & Kuhne, in relation to bill of
lading transactions.
The following statement was made by
Knauth, Nachod q kuhne, relative to
their connection with the Field-Lindley
failures: 1T seems that Herr Reuter-,
of Hamburg, an uncle OF WEIGH
ers, one of the partners of the defunct
firm, inherited $10S,000 from the
Weichers estate. This money was left
in Weichers' hands. The latter used it
for speculation, and reported to his
uncle that inside of sixty days the
money had realized profit of $4,000,
aside from the interest. The uncle,
however, pressed Weichers for meney.
The latter, on behalf of the firm, made
out one day sight draft for 100000
marks on firm in Mannheim, Ger
many, where Field, Lindley & Co. had
no balance. They counted upon cover
ing this draft by cable transfer to
obtain the latter. There being no
funds, forgery was resorted to. On
November 25th, Field, Lindley & Co.
arranged that we make a cable transfer
of 49S,0 900 marks equal to $11S,000) to
the firm in Mannheim, and at the same
time buy their thirty-days sight bill of
325 900 marks on the same
firm in Mannheim, such bill
being accompanied by shipping
documents for 740,0 900 bushels of wheat
per the steamship Triumph. Some
days previously they sold us a similar
bill OF 100, 900 marks on the same firm,
accompanied by shipping documents for
430, 900 bushels of wheat, per the steam
ship Dolcouth. All these shipping doc
uments have since turned out TO be
forgeries. There were no such steam
ships in port at the time, and no such
wheat. Fortunately we discovered the
forgeries before the drafts were pre-
sented, and were able to stop payment.
1t was for the above transaction that
Field was today indicted"

CINCINNATI, Dec. 1S.-A riot was mar
rowly avoided in the county treasurer's
Office this morning. Usually taxes can
be paid December 1st, but owing to an
unavoidable delay today was the first
day they were received. This morning
fully 1000 taxpayers gathered at the
court house, and when the doors were
opened they made rush for the treas
urer's office, all anxious to pay before
Monday next, when penalty of 5 per
cent will accrue. A number of glass
partitions were smashed in the wild
scramble and crush. Five women
and a man tainted and were passed
out over the heads Of the crowd.
The people were wedged in struggling
mass SO that they could scarcely
breathe. Men fought, swore and strug-
gled furiously to get at the receiving
clerks. While the tumult was at its
height the city money was hastily
thrown into the safe and locked up. A
call for the police was sent out, and two
patrol wagons and fourteen men re-
sponded. The county commissioner
finally quieted the crowd by telling
them the rebate time would be extended
to January 10th. The crowd gave
cheer, and business proceeded quietly.
Pickpockets reaped harvest.

A Graduate From an Insane Asy
Runs Amuck in Boarding House.
NEW York, Dec. 1S.-Michael Har
yey, aged "a, who had been in Flat Bush
insane asylum some time, was dis
charged two days ago as cured, and went
to board with Mrs. Catherine Duffy at
1873 Van Dyke street, Brooklyn. Today
while the family were at dinner, Har-
vey suddenly went insane again, ran to
his room, and snatching up revolver
returned to the dining room and began
firing. The first shot struck John Con-
norton in the head, and he died in a few
minutes. The second bullet went
through Samuel Dickerson's arm. He
made for a window and jumped out. His
sister, Mary Dickerson, was hit next,
the bullet boring hole in her arm.
She ran out in the hallway crying MUIR
der, and Mrs. Duffy, who was in the
next room, jumped out OF window,
spraining her ankle. While she lay
groaning with pain, the fourth and last
shot rang out. Harvey had put the
pistol in his mouth and blown out his
brains. The affair created the most in
tense excitement in the neighborhood.

DENOUNCED TO HIS FACE.
A DRAMATIC SCENE IN THE BLAINE
DIVORCE CASE.
Mrs. Ogden Doremus Speaks Her Mind.
She Tells Young Jim Blaine That He
Is a Scoundrel and Poltroon- Mrs.
Blaine's Admirable Self Control.

New YORK, Dec. 1S.-A very dramatic
incident enlivened the Blaine divorce
proceedings at the office of Referee Lord
yesterday. Mrs. James G. Blaine, jr,,
arrived with her friend Mrs. Ogden Do
remus. She did not know the law gave
her husband the right to be present.
When che saw him there, though she
had not met him since she bid him good
bye at Bar Harbor three years ago, she
controlled her surprise so we'll that her
companion never suspected that the
man who rose as they entered was the
person in question.
During the proceedings Mrs. Doremus
got into state of mind. She looked
around for some sympathetic person; to
the person next her she said: THE
man in this case is scoundrel and pol
troon."
'Do you know to whom you are talk
ing?" snapped the individual ad-
dressed.
NO" she replied
swell, am Mr.. Blaine"
Mrs. Doremus flushed slightly, and
then continued quickly and with in
creasing emphasis: 81 did not know you
were Mr.. Blaine when l spoke, but
repeat it now. The man who would
abandon not only his wife, but his inno-
cent child, at the dictates OF his father
and"
Don't mention my mothers name"
burst in Mr.. Blaine.
'Since you have mentioned it,"
calmly continued Mrs. Doremus, 81 will
add, or his mother, is poltroon and q
scoundrel."
Blaine had nothing handy to reply,
and the passage-at-arms came to an
end.

A MERRY RATE WAR.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-A rate war is
about to open up in Missouri river pass
enger rates, which may spread widely.
The Alton road served notice on the
Western Passenger association that un-
less the shortline rates from Kansas
City to Cincinnati via Chicago were
withdrawn within twenty-four hours,
the Alton would make a reduction OF

Rock Island and Atchison, neither OF
which has st. Louis outlet to South
ern Indiana and Ohio, are particularly
indignant, and a meeting today ended
with the absolute refusal of the Atchi-
ison to withdraw the Objectionable rate.
The Alton asserts that the manipula-
tion of these circuitous route tickets by
brokers is demoralizing rates. An Off

he would not be surprised to see the
rate drop to So from Kansas City to

Species From ExtfnctiOn.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The report of
Special Agent Williams, it is expected,
will have an important bearing on the
seal fisheries question. He found the
females had diminished from one-half to
one-third since Professor Elliott pre-
pared his figures. When Williams was at
the islands he found that the killing of
$4,000 more seals, leaving the pups and
yearlings, would practically have put an
end to seal life, as the means of propa-
CATION would have been cut off. In
general, Williams says the condition of
the seals is worse than stated in Elliott's
report, and q close season is absolutely
necessary
