DOMINION BuREAU.D
Gigantic Swindle Unearthed by the Pos
Office Department.

Gigantic Swindle Unearthed by the Post
Office Department.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.--The postoffice
department has just succeeded in putting
present end to the career of one Joseph
Leger, of the Dominion bureau" with
offices at No. 451 Eighth avenue, New
York city. Frequent complaints have
been received at the department against
parties who represent themselves az
agents from Great Britain, coming tc
this country in quest of persons of En-.
glish ancestry for the purpose of taking
advantage of their credulity and cupid.
ity to delude them into the belief that
they are heirs to vast estates in England.
These alleged agents demand from the
gullible sum of money and power OF
attorney to take hold of the matter. Mr..
Leger's is the latest case investigated by
the department. A complaint comes
from resident of Gam, Tex, who
communicated to Assistant Attorney
General Tyner, enclosing a certificate
with seal OF the supreme court in
chancery sent him by Leger, purporting
to confirm his title to an estate in Eng
land and reciting that Joseph Leger,
now in America, is commanded to notify
the interested party. and after receiving
the tax ON legacies and requests to issue
possession papers and report to the court
at once. This certificate has the court
seal upon it and signed "Delongue,
Chancellor" The amount of tax money
is fixed at $50, which sum and power Of
attorney was asked by Leger.
Postmaster General Wanamaker is
sued an order stopping the payment OF
money orders at the New York post
Office addressed to Leger, or the Domin-
ion bureau, and all registered letters OF
Leger's or the bureau were ordered to
be marked fraudulent" and sent to the
dead letter office. Postmaster VanCott,
at New York, informed the department
that vast amount of mail matter for
Leger had accumulated, but Leger has
disappeared and no trace of him can be
found.

He Must Remain in Prison the Rest OF His
Natural Life.
BRISTOL, Tenn, Oct. SPIKE county,
KY, called the mother of crimes and
criminals, the Hatfelds and McCoys
being conspicuous in the latter class, has
just convicted Pleas Mccoy, one of the
notorious Mccoy tribe, for the brutal
murder of Bird Mccoy, his cousin. The
term of his sentence is for his natural
life, and he is now only seventeen.
William Dyer, half-brother of Pleas,
was under Indictment sometime ago for
various crimes. Bird Mccoy, an officer
of the law, had warrants for his arrest.
Dyer planned to get him out of the way.
Too cowardly himself, he employed
Pleas to do SO and was to pay him for it
by giving him gun and pistol.
While Bird was returning from
church one Sunday Pleas stole near him
and began firing into his back. Bird
fell with dozen bullets in his body.
He managed to drag himself to fence
corner where he lay down. While he
was gasping for breath the murderer
approached with cooked Winchester.
The dying man begged piteously for
mercy, but Pleas fired dozen or more
balls into his head
For more than twenty years the Hat
field Mccoy feud in that county has
been kept up. Bird McCoy's brother
was murdered by Captain Hatfield, who
was reported dead some weeks ago.

IN the place of President Nunez, an in.
valid, seems TO have favored the ar.
rangement.
The failure TO enter into a reciprocal
arrangement with the United States be-
fore dan. l, last, put Columbia with
Hayti and Venezuela in the list OF those
countries against which, on March 10,
retaliatory duties on sugar, molasses,
coffee, tea and hides were imposed by
proclamation of President Harrison.
The United States is one of the best
customers of Colombia and it was es-
pecially desirable that amicable arrange
ments should be made with her govern
ment. In 1880. the value of the exports
amounted to $l6,000,0O0. In 1890 it had
risen to SEC, AS, 1856. The maximum of
imports was $f4, 100000.
The foreign trade is chiefly with En-
gland, France, Germany and the United
States. The principal articles of export
are cattle, cacao, coffee, dye woods,
gold, silver, hides, ivory, nuts, silvery
rubber, tobacco and woods. The cattle
go to the isthmus, so they should not
really be classed as exports.
Nearly all the hides, and by far the
greater part of the coffee, rubber and
construction woods, go to the United
States; the gold, silver, and dye woods
to England, and the tobacco and ivory,
nuts to Germany. The United States
minister at Bogota reported that in 1888,
"a per cent. of the exports went to Great
Britain, 10 per cent. to France, 12 per
cent. to Germany, and 40 per cent. to
the United States.
The imports consist Of cloths of wool,
cotton, linen and silk, Shoes ready made
clothing, furniture, machines, haber-
dashery, watches, paper. drugs, spices,
books, liquors, pottery, iron, -four,
cigarettes, food conserves and other
domestic and industrial commodities.
In 1888 40 per cent. of the imports came
from Great Britain, 81 per cent. from
France, ID per cent. from Germany and
10 per cent from the United States.
As to the quality and character of the
tradesmen in Colombia it is said that
bankruptcy is scarcely ever known. It'll
il said that but one failure has occurred
in Medellin, a principal importing CEN
ter, in forty-nine years and then fifty
cents on the dollar was paid. Neither
fees nor licenses are required for COM
mercial travellers in Colombia.

Makes Some Startling Prophesies.
WESTMINSTER, Pa, Oct. S.--The 1000
colored people of this place are in a
Torment of excitement and fear over the
prophecies of Rev. Andrew Jones, a
negro preacher, who has been exhorting
in the Second Baptish church. Parson
Jones claims to be a prophet, and among
his prophecies he claims the foretelling
of the Johnstown flood and the Charles
ton earthquake. He says all his prophe-
cies are put in his mouth by ''the
spirit and the ignorant negroes think
he is second st. Paul
Jones came to Westchester few DAYS
ago and visited Rev. Asbury Smallwood.
There are stories of his mysteriously
curing headache and other slight all
ments, while one young man says he
drove the scrofula from his blood. His
actions and mode of living were such as
to impress the fervent colored people.
He would eat nothing while the sun
shone and wrote long into the night. On
Sunday night he aroused from an APP.
parently deep reverie while in the nome
of Smallwood and announced that "the
spirit" was moving in him. Several
persons were in the room and with eyes
starting from their heads they heard
him declare that soon Westchester
would be visited by terrible cycl one
which would bring death and destruc-
ton to the ungodly.
This spread like wildfire through the
negro settlement, and since then the
meetings held in Smallwoods church
have been crowded with frightened re-
pentant sinners. These people earnest
ly believe that Jones prophecy will
come true and are looking for the ap-
proach of the devastating winds. Small
wood says that he believed, for he had
known Jones to prophesy occurrences
before, and had never known him to
fail Jones has left town, but the eff
feet of his visit is very evident.
