A Counterpart of the Fraud Attempted
Upon MIR. Bailey, the Pittsburger, Tried
Upon a New Haven Man Also withou ut
Success-Cuban Conspirators
NEW HAVEN, Aug. 7.-Attorney j. P
Goodhart, of this city, has just unearthed a
swindling scheme of gigantic proportions
NJ. Paulet, retired business man of Mon
treal, received by Cuban mail about June l
a well-written letter in French. 1t bore u
Havana postmark and stated that the au-
thor, Elroy Bastamantre, had been charged
with an important financial negotiation In
London in 1881, but had been obliged to
leave his trunk, with false panel in which
was 81, 800, 900 in drafts upon the Bank of
England, in the environs of Montreal.
NJ. Paulet was requested to interest him
self in the case to secure the trunks and
drafts. He was favorably impressed and
replied, saying he would gladly hear the
Cuban's full story. Bastamantre replied
that through conspiracy he had been de-
prived temporarily of his money in Mon
treal, but had hidden it. He could give no
accurate description of the place where the
trunk was, and he asserted that after leav-
ing Montreal he had been kept prisoner
at Cuba for seven wears in default of fine
of s., 625 for political offenses. He needed
Just that sum to obtain his freedom. Ac-
companying his letter was an official docu-
ment containing the record of his crime and
sentence.
NJ Paulet, as he is 60 years old and
feeble, sent his daughter to this city to con-
suit Attorney Goodhart in relation to the
matter, and if advisable to 60 at once to
Cuba and procure the prisoners release at
almost any cost. Mr.. Goodhart has con-
terred with Inspector Byrnes and other
leading detectives in this country and Cuba
about the matter, who unite in pronouncing
the case fraud. Miss Paulet was loathe
to believe it such and abandoned further In
yestigation of the matter with great reluct-
ance.
A third letter from the Cuban confirms
Mr.. Goodhart's suspicious The epistle
states that a stay and extension of the pro-
ceedings for 30 days has been obtained by
dint of great effort. Though the fraud is
manifest, Havana authorities will be placed
in possession of the facts and asked to COM
municate further with Mr.. Goodhart.

HER DEATH A MYSTERY.
Isabella Cawthorn Is Found Dead in q
Hammock.

Isabella Cawthorn, the three-months-old
daughter of Mary and John Cawthorn. was
faund dead in q hammock at the home of
her parents, No. 3OlS Mulberry alley. at
o'clock yesterday morning. Her death is
shrouded in mystery. and after the circum-
stances had been reported to Coroner Nc
Dowell he decided co hold an investigation.
Saturday night, Cawthorn, who is q mill
worker, invited several of his friends to his
home where he had a keg of beer. Toward
midnight the crowd became boisterous and
Officer Brady Thompson had to be called in
to quell the disturbance. When the officer
went into the house the child was sleeping
in the hammock and several men were en-
gagged in scuffle about the room. The
house was cleared ont and the parents were
rebuked by the policemen 1or neglecting
their child.
Nothing more was heard from the house
until yesterday morning, when Mrs. Cav
thorn informed the officer that the child
had died sometime during the night. Mrs.
Cawthorn claims that the child died at
O'Clock, while the husband positively fixes
the time at T. Both of the parents were very
much under the influence of liquor when
they made known the death of the infant.
1nformations were lodged against both
Cawthorn and his wife by the Anti-Cruelty
Society on Saturday. charring them with
abusing and neglecting their three small
children. The parents are under bonds for
their appearance this week.
The Coroner will view the body OF: the
dead child to-day.

SIMMONS NOT EXPELLED.

Fritz Simmons Still . southside Turner
Tho Case May Come Up Again-Much
Dissatisfaction in the Order as the Matter
Now Stands.
The case of Fritz Simmons, of the South
side, who was arrested some time ago for
distributing anarchistic circulars, was con-
sidered by the Southside Turner's at their
regular meeting yesterday. The fact that
Simmons entertained such views excited
much comment among the Turner's lest
some reflection should be cast upon their
organization.
When his case was brought up there was
little discussion, and it was soon disposed
of. He was neither suspended nor expelled
and still holds full membership in the
order. The resolutions recently adopted
by the Chicago Turner's were indorsed.
These resolutions condemned anarchism
and took the sta nd that the order OF Turn
ers would not permit it's members to be-
come disciples of Herr Most. 1t was under
stood that a formal vote was taken on the
case, and that his adherents were in the
majority.
It was also learned that simmons made a
statement of his views, and retracted what
he had stated when arrested. His statement
was said to amount almost to an apology
and while he claimed to have belonged to
the Anarchists, he now disclaims them.
There seems to be much dissatisfaction at
buo ueClSlOn, anu Tile case VIII likely Do
brought up again next Sunday. d. S. Nc
Donald in speaking of the meeting said:
while did not attend it 1 have heard what
was done. You must understand that all
the proceedings are in German, and even
when am there 1 cannot understand all
that Is said. l think there has been some
rather peculiar work done with regard to
this case. Yesterday the friends of Sim
mons circulated the report that nothing
would be done at to-day's meeting. and even
limited that the Englisn-speaking members
might as well not attend. When the case
was brought up the members present who
did not speak or understand German were
lett in ignorance of the proceedings,
and hardly knew what was being
done. After the meeting an explana-
tion WAS demanded, and the simple
answer made that he was still q member.
Now there are about 400 of the 700 members
who are English-speaking and not kindly
inclined toward Simmons, Ii 1t comes to u
test. Several members have already spoken
TO me about sending in a petition to the
President for reconsideration of this case.
As the matter now stands, many threaten to
Withdraw from the order unless there is q
peter understanding among the members
than at present."
1t is claimed that Simmons case was not
fully considered yesterday because not
enough time had intervened from the time
the charge was entered. Simmons is also
being given every opportunity to retain his
mem Dersh1p, as he stands high in the order,
and personally is liked by the other men,
bers. Many OF the members said last even
ing that he had not broken any of the laws
of the constitution and could not be ex-
PEELED.

SHOT OVER A BABY CARRIAGE.
A Jealous Columbus Suitor Murders on tho
Street His Sweetheart.

A Jealous Columbus Suitor Murders on the
Street His Sweetheart.
COLUMBUS, Aug. 7.-"Look out there,
little one, cried boyish-appearing young
man to the occupant of baby carriage as
he pointed big revolver just over its head
toward a woman trundling the vehicle. His
exclamation was followed by the sharp
crack OF the gun, and the woman fell dead
just behind the babe she was accompanying.
Such was the act OF a jealous lover at North
Columbus yesterday evening. The mur-
derer was James Cameron, a French Cana
dian, 10 years old His victim was Mary
Smith, the divorced wife of Isaac Showal-
ter She was nearly ten years older than
her boy lover, but sprightly and unusually
pretty.
Eight years ago she parted from her hus-
band. She lived with her sister, Mrs. Eliza
beth Green. Cameron had been her lover
for nearly year. Last week he asked her
to marry him, and she rejected him, adding
the CALLING information that she would soon
be welded to Thomas Cliker. Cameron
warned her that if she did not marry him he
would kill her. Cameron coolly walked to
his boarding place near by, put on his coat
and started away. He was caught by
some bystanders and compelled to give
up his gun, after which, for some un-
accountable reason, they released him,
and he left the city before an officer ar
rived.

Some Kicking Developing Regarding the

NEW YORK, Aug. L-[SpeciaL 1.-The pennant
struggle is creating dissatisfaction among
tile magnates. Those whose teams have
failed to get leading position in the race
are not pleased with the results, and are
talking of the prospects of a dissolution OF
the present big League. Others claim that
there is no reason for the breaking up OF
the present circuit, and that next year it
will be stronger than ever.
II the League is divided 1t Is likely that the
Association will be recognized and that
two eight club organizations will again be
In the field. 1t is claiined by one of the
masnates that twelve clubs are too many
tail-enders. One-half of the clubs must be

they did on the last Western trip. Then
there are no open dates in which to play or

The Sad Suicide Of an Iowa Woman at an
Atlantic City Hotel.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. Mrs
Thomas Early, wife Of prominent COM
mission merchant engaged in business in
Chicago but residing at Dubuque, Ia,
committed suicide at late hour
tonight in the rear yard of a
Pennsylvania avenue boarding house.
The couple had come from the West and
arrived in this city last evening. Mrs. EARLY
was sufferer from nervous prostration and
had been brought here by her husband with
the hope of finding relief About 1890 to-
night they had retired to their room. and,
after seeing his wife safely in bed, Mr.
Early left the room for few moments. On
returning he found the window open and
his wife missing.
The alarm was given, and after half an
hours search one of the guests found her
hanging in an clubhouse. A towel which
had been torn into strips, tied together and
looped, formed the means of destruction.
Mrs. Early, according to her husband, has
been a sufferer for some time from nervous
prostration.
