SWINDLED ITALIANS.
They Lost Many Thousands of Dollars by

Confiding in a Countryman.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-Donato Toce was
arrested to-day on a warrant charging him
with obtaining money under false pretenses.
The warrant was sworn out by Pietro
Miraglia, who is acting in the matter simply
to make a test case, scores of others, it is
said, awaiting the result in order to deter
mine their own action.
The allegation is made that Toce has sue
ceeded in borrowing from poor Italians be-
tween $50, 600 and So, 900, in sums ranging
from $50 upward. In many cases the saw
ings of years, the lawyers say, have been
loaned to Toce, and u portentious feeling of
Indignation prevails in the hot-tempered
colony. Donate Toce is the father of Nichols
Toce, the banker, who disappeared a few
weeks ago, leaving a large number of credit
ors, mostly poor people.

MORE EVIDENCE FOUND.
Stafford Has Another Tale About the De-
.troit Amoslzeag Engines.

AlhOSNedS Engines.
n. f. Stafford exhibits letter from James
Battle of the Detroit Fire Department, in
which he says he is not at liberty to give
prices paid by that city for Amoskeag fire
engines, as he is bound by the
deal with the Manchester Company not
to give prices, it being n trade. Mr.
Stafford comments in an uncomplimentary
manner on the neglect of the Manchest
Company to make known the price they sold
engines for to Detroit. He insinuates that if
the dealings OF the company with PittSburg
taxpayers were on the square it would not
hesitate to come forward. He says that it
isn't business to allow n $4,000 contract to
hang fire Tor two years unless there be q
Sennegambian in the wood-pile.
Mr. Satfcrd says the Amoskeag is not new
in Detroit so the engines could not have
been given under price for the sake of in
production. He again calls on the Manches-
ter Company to come forward and testify in
the litigation pending and explains why
Pittsburg pays more for Amoskeags than
other cities pay.
