Polish Count.
CAPTAIN NGALLAGHERs BADRECORD

The Men who Came Here to Work ItaI-
ians Strike a snag-One Arrested for
Bribery Warrant Out For simone-He
Has Not Been Caught.
Last evening Detectives Witsil and
McVey arrested Apolinary Kaswowski,
the Pole who was brought here by Cap
tain Gallagher several days ago. The
charge against him was bribery The
warrant was sworn out in Magistrate
Sasses Office, and after Kaswowski was
arrested at the Grand Union hotel he
was arraigned in the Shipley street
court.
He waived a hearing for the upper
court The magistrate fixed the bail at
$1,000. Dr. f. G. Shortlidge became
Kaswowsl5i's bondsman.
The Pole is one Of two men Captain
Gallagher brought here from New York
| for the purpose OF Seeing" the Polish
and Italian citizens Of Wilmington in the
interest Of the Republican party.
The other man is an Italian, styling
himself Captain Michael Di Simone
They have been seeing" their VIII
mington men with vengeance, but
have made but little progress. The
elimination Of the affair was TO have
been held in Turner hall on Saturday
night. but It is probable that the arrest
which is to be followed by that Of Simone,
will stave the matter of for the time
being
Captain Gallagher claims the men to
be friends Of his and says that Simone is
the immigration agent Of the Italian I'm
migration Home in New York. He says
/ IuN Ia.f tDf htafl l.ttF "A utF
Gallagher Is so well known here they
will doubtless need better sponsor
Captain di Simone claims that he left
the command of ,0OU-ton vessel ply
ing between New York and Marseilles
in order TO accept position as assistant
ticket agent and platform man on the
New York elevated railroad Subse-
quently he became immigration commits
sioner for the Italian Immigrant home.
, He repudiates the idea that he is here to
bribe anyone and says his friends in
, New York will be very much surprised
, 90 hear Of his arrest
KarowslSi sees his friend and goes
him one better. He claims TO be the son
4 Of a nobleman, Count Karwowski, whose
5000 acres of land are near Slupno, a
little village about three miles from
! Warsaw, Poland.
KaswOwsld tells a pitiable tale OF how
I the Russian government robbed him Of
\ his property; how he came to this
country with $4,000 which his father
d saved by putting IL in an English bank ;
! how he was defrauded Of IL, and learned
1 TO make hats in Orange, n j. He ends
5 his recital by stating that his New York
e friends will be very indignant when
a they hear of his arrest
n Galaghers had Record.
Captain Charles H. Gallagher, the man
o who has charge Of the Italian and Polish
scheme here, and who has probably
y played a hidden hand in the plan Of
= negro colonization, has, in his day,
: played very conspicuous part in
~ the political affairs Of his party.
Every dog has his day and Gallagher
~ simply played himself out in New Castle
I. county, and went to New York, where
the field was broader and where he
\ could work in obscurity for time.
u The political firm Of Pickles and Gal
= lagher was, If anything, more desperate
!. aud unscrupulous than Bach, Mahady 4
y Co, II such thing we're possible. Harry
Pickles aud Charles H. Gallagher raI
. the town to suit themselves, but
like all INSCRIPTIONS politicians
= an indignant public relegated them tC
q the realms of semi .obscurity. At th'
n present time they figure as very smal
4 factors, and are only called upon fol
~ work or advice when the new methods
~ fail and the old methods have to be calle'
y into requisition.
!. In the first place Gallagher was mad
'u chief engineer Of the water department
and, as a matter Of fact had several hun
ie dred bogus tax receipts locked up in hi
y Office at one time He was arreste'
~ for Offering bribe to al
~ election officer in 1880 He was con
~ nected with all the political debaucher,
.ii Of the Republican party from 1870 Z
n 1850, and, in many cases, the head
centre
He is known as a general poitica
y, ~ manipulator. He brought negroes her
~ I. two years ago, worked for two week
~ among them and arranged the Who'll
" matter Of colonization.
y, He behaved so shamefuly in politica
* affairs that public sentiment compelle'
s,S him to leave the city. He is now her
