People's party paper. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1891-1898, 1892-07-15

The Atlanta Constitution practical
ly admits that Cleveland is beaten in
the electoral college, but pulls up
strong on the result in the House.
The Constitution has several times
called the attention of the purblind
lenders Of It's party to the fact that no
recruits may be expected in the East,
and since it has abandoned the hope
Of favorable silver legislation puts its
dependence in a failure to elect in the
College. Alas! that the despised Peo-
pies Party should be its dependence
now. The Atlanta Constitution says:
The action of Kansas alone will
not throw the election into the house.
Butsuppose she silverrepublican states
Should elect the Peoples party
electoral tickets? In that event it is
tolerably certain that the house would
be called upon to elect a president,
and in that indirect way Grover Ceve-
land would reach the white house a
second time. The plot thickens, and
the presidential situation bristles with
points uurivaled in interest since the
historic campaign of 1860, All the
signs point to a democratic victory.
At last the Democrats have demon
strated that the force bill is the only
issue before the people. But to make
the demonstration most striking,
they lent Tom Reed ninety-four
votes, in order to add a respectable
show of strength to his following Of
sixty Republicans.

The Great Bank of England Swindle.

-Four Americans, named George and
Austin Bidwell. George Mcdonald and
Edward Hills, contrived to defraud the
Bank of England of nearly ef,0O0. 900.
They accomplished their swindle by TAX
ing advantage of custom Of the bank
which had grown up through the gen.
eral honesty of business men and meth
DDS in England. The bank was accus-
toned to receive bills OF exchange in
deposit on account, without verifying
their signatures or the acceptances.
Probably until the Bidwells began to
experiment on them the bank authori-
ties never had had such paper offered
them otherwise than in good faith.
These men contrived by pretense and
falsehood to secure the necessary intro
duction to the bank officers. and opened
an account with them under an assumed
name. They then had several hundred
bills of exchange printed on counterfeit
plates and flooded the Bank of England
with these bills from all over the world.
all signed and accepted with apparent
regularity. The bank unhesitatingly
cashed these and put the proceeds to the
credit of the swindlers, who drew out
the money in ostensible business trans
actions in such a way as to excite no
suspicion on the part OF the bank Of
ficials.
At last the rascals betrayed themselves
by neglecting to date the acceptance Of
two of the fraudulent bills. The bank.
sending these to the acceptors to have
the omission supplied, discovered the
fraud at once. After an exciting chase
by detectives all the men were arrested.
then tried and convicted, and all sen.
fenced to prison for life In 1888 George
Bidwell was pardoned and allowed to
return to the United States. The others
are still in prison. London Letter

Pictures in Japanese Temples.

The votive pictures, yema, of Japa-
nese temples are an outgrowth Of an old
custom. In ancient times departed war
riors were honored by offerings of sake
and rice placed before their tablets and
tombs. AS the idea gained ground that
their spirits hovered around their graves
besides food certain number of spot
less white horses were provided in
which these spiritual worthless might
take recreation So it became the Gus
tom in wealthy Shinto temples to keep
one of these sacred animals There were
many shrines that could not afford to
buy white horse. SO the next best
thing was to get picture of one. Hence
the name ye-lma picture horse. from ye.
picture. and una, horse
The use of the yema was first con-
fined to the Shinto religion, but the Bud
dhists took kindly to the custom The
word yema has long lost its primitive
meaning, and has become generic
name for every picture hung up in
Shinto shrines or Buddhistic temples. -

A Light Step.

Anybody can have light step who
will be at the pains to set the foot down
right. In that lies all the difference be-
twixt humping, Jumping gait and the
light tread that makes people call you
"velvet footed. The whole art and
mystery lies in a single sentence: Put
the ball of the feet down first, throwing
the weight upon it and letting the heel
come to the floor the hundredth part of
a second after. Treading flat footed
over all the sole at once--the weight
comes with jar that is about equally
destructive to quiet, to grace and to
shoe leather BY stepping first on the
ball. just back of the toes, it's cushiony
muscles act as spring and make of
walking double pleasure. - Harper's

The Adventure Last Night of Henry
Schafer.
Henry Schafer walked into the police
station at midnight last night with his
right ear dangling down on his neck and
lump on the back Of his head as big az
reform school furniture bill.
He is peddler of chickens, eggs and
general merchandise, and drove here
from his home in Hueneme, Ventura
county, arriving yesterday and putting
his wagon and mules up at Wicker
sham's corral, on the corner of Also
and Alameda streets. He went about
town bit, but returned to the corral
early, rolled up in his blankets, and
went to sleep with SIS in his inside
pocket.
The next thing he knew he knew 9TH
ing, and when he came to his sense he
wore his ear cut bias and the poLlpa-
dour lump on his head, and his $15 were
in some other fellow inside pocket. He
had put two watches under his head
when he went to sleep, and they was
not taken by the thief who had SO
brutally dubbed sleeping man.
He was cared for in the receiving hos
pital, where DR.. Murphy repaired his
ear and patched him up so that he will
be all right today.

Wounds . Third.
OuRAY, Colo, March ia terrible
explosion took place in the Revenue
tunnel, Mount Sneffels, last night. The
news was brought to the city late at
night by messenger after ply sicians.
From what was learned of him during
his brief stay. the explosion was one Of
the most terrific and terrible that ever
occurred in this district. The men were
working in the heart of the tunnel when
the explosion occurred. Rock and dirt
were hurled in all directions. Grant
Robinson of Howard, Mo-, was torn to
pieces by the shock, his head being torn
off and his body blackened and bruised.
The name OF the other man killed is un-
known. The injured mans name is
Burns. There is great excitement at
the mine. The drills are operated by
compressed air, at high rate of speed,
and as the rock through which the drills
are boring is very hard, by the time the
holes are three or four feet deep they
are very hot. Then fifty pounds OF
powder are placed in them, and it is
thought this was ignited by the heat.
Later-The name OF the second man
killed is Patrick Mahoney. 1t is thought
Pat Burns will die from his injuries.

SAN Diego, March 13.-"The Angels''
will be in the fight from the fall of the

This afternoon before 500 people they
defeated the San Diego team by score
of 20 to O..
Roach and Stafford failed to con.
meet, and gentle Willie Hassamer was
in the box for Los Angeles. He proved
good man in an emergency, and only
one San Diego man reached third.
Hulen played an outoi-sight game,
and Glenalvin is very much pleased
with the way he handles himself. and
thinks he has coming star. Hulen
made home run and two base hits,
and fielded with his usual snap.
McCauley, the Los Angeles first base
man, is regular giant. He will suit
the local cranks to perfection. "Glen''
secured jewel in McCauley. He is a
finished player, and when he hits the
sphere it goes forth as If shot from a
catapult.
Newman caught, and did splendidly
for his first game this year. He is an
other six-footer, and can play any posi-
ton.
Glenalvin was in his element and
made couple OF hits just to show that
he has not lost his cunning.
There were only five members of the
Los Angeles team on deck. They were
full Of ginger and all acted like colts. l
had good chance to get line on the
Los Angeles team in the field. 1t will
be second to none in the league, to my

plauded for every sharp play.
The San Diego players got ratified early
in the contest, and were never in the
game.
Sir Edward Jenkinson witnessed his
first game at ball. He was much taken
with the American game, and kept the
