Tried to Swindle Hetty Green.

Mondays papers reported daring attempt
to swinde Mrs. Hetty Green by forging title
deeds to half section of Chicago land be-
longing to her, valued at from S750,000 to
S1,0OO,0OO. The forged deeds are still in the
hands of the forgers, so far as known. 1t
was by the attempt to borrow money on
some of the property and dispose of other
tracts of it in this city through the forged
paper that the truth became known. Through
the fling of a bill in chancery to quiet title
to the property, Mrs. Green's interests have
been protected. This move was made against
the advice of Chief of Police McClaughry and
Chief Inspector Ross. As it now stands the
law is powerless to act and whoever did the
work will he forced to tell how it was done.
Criticism is made upon Mrs. Green for her
precipitate action and abstract men are wear
ing mourning for the forger. Vincent Maie
was the man who attempted to secure the
transfer of the immense property on the deed
on the name of Joseph B. Anderson of Ham
mond, Ind, which he claimed he had pur-
chased of Anderson. The latter could moi
be found, but Mailie comes to the front now
with the repetition of his declaration that
about three months ago he paid over to An
derson every dollar he had in the world
never suspecting anything wrong.

Death of Mrs. Achsa Harlow.

The Holyoke Transcript of July 26 has the
following of an old time resident of Rocking
ham: Last Sunday Mrs. Charles III. Rich
ards received dispatch from Mills, Mills, N.
Y, announcing the dangerous illness of her
mother, Mrs. Achsa Harlow. Accompanied
by her daughter, Mrs. Jennie, she left the
city that evening for Buffalo, which is but a
short distance from Mills, Mills. This morn
ing Mr.. Richards received dispatch from
his wife stating that Mrs. Harlow was dead
and asking him to meet her at Springfield
this evening en- route from the west with the
remains for interment in Forestdale ceme-
terry. 1t was only eight weeks ago that Mrs.
Harlow went from Hoyoke to Mills, Mills to
care for her Oldest sister, Mrs. Mary Hill
dreth, who was i'll with pneumonia. The
sister had nearly recovered, when brother,
Harvey Christy, living % miles away was
seized with the same disease. He died July
away from home in this midsummer
weather and the caring for her sick brother
and sister Frustrated Mrs. Harlow and she
died yesterday at the advanced age of 76
years. Mrs. Harlow was born in Grafton,
VT, and was married to Lucius Harlow 46
years ago. She was Mr.. Harlow's second
wife and not the own mother of Mrs.
Charles H. Richards. She had been little
else, though, than an own mother as she as
sumed the care of Mrs. Richards when she
was but year old. Mrs. Richards was the
wife and no children were born to Mr.. Har-
low by his second wife. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lucus Harlow came to this city in 1865, hav
ing moved here from South Hadley. They
had previously lived in Bellows Falls, VT,
~ years. Mrs. Harlow was for many years
member of the Second Congregational
church and was most estimable lady.

Police Court.

Michael Connors got some liquor from Bos-
ton last week and drank too freely. Officer
Thompson found him Thursday afternoon
in company with Jerry Scanlon and took in
the pair. They were released during the
evening on promise to appear in court Fri
day. Connors came around and paid SOL,
and went away satisfied. Scanlon also went
away, but didn't come near the court. His
brother came in and said he "was sick in
bed,'' ..gone hunting'' and s'didn't know
where he was" He promised to bring him
into court but couldn't find him. He was
last seen near Westmoreland and is sup
posed to be on his way to the old country.
He will be cordially received on his return.
| Edward B. Boyle works in the Walter A.
Wood machine shops when he is at home,
but for the next few weeks he will learn the
marble business at Rutland, and board at the
workhouse. He got drunk here Monday
night and had only So left Tuesday when
Justice George fined him So and costs, so he
was taken to Rutland.
George Moran was found dead drunk on
the steps leading to Union hall Tuesday
night and was put in the cooler for safe keep
ing. Wednesday he paid fine of $10.01 for
drunkenness and will sleep at home in the
future.
Hugh Kelley has been working under the
hill for week and with the proceeds bought
beautiful jag Tuesday night. He was found
lying beside the Rutland tracks and was
taken in charge by Officer Thompson.
Wednesday he was fined So and costs and
disclosed on friend. He goes to Rutland to
study mineraogy, under the auspices of the
state, for 90 days.
At a trial Tuesday afternoon F. c. Eddy
was brought before Justice George on a
charge of intoXication. The respondent
waived examination, plead guilty and paid a
fine of So and costs. Mr.. Eddy informs THE
| TINES that the charge was preferred against
him from purely personal and private reasons.

A Fine Company.

Al G. Fields Ministries played to well
pleased audience at the Opera House Tues
day evening. The first part showed elabo-
rate stage settings which were rendered
more effective by the use of calcium lights.
Departing somewhat from the old style of
minstrelry, there was plenty of singing and
cracking of jokes to keep green the memory
of the old time show. At the close of the
first part there was some very pretty march
ing, the colored lights again making the dis
play more pleasing. The acrobatic feats of
10 Lewes and the musical part presented by
the 'musical hostlers" were excellent, and
the trick mule, Jasper. introduced by Clay
ton and jenkins, would have made Quaker
laugh. As a grand finale, the Darktown
circus was a success. and as novel an act as
was ever introduced on minstrel stage. This
company carries good band aud in every
way iustifies the favorable criticisms ac-
corded to them wherever they go. The gen.
eral verdict is that it was the best minstrel
company ever seen here.

TO THE FRONT AGAIN!
Does e. III. Stoughton Post, G. A. r. Know
1.-The War is not over yet?''
FLORENCE. ALA, July 80, %

FLORENCE, ALA, July 80, '92.
To the Editor of THE TIMES:
AT a rally of the "Unterrifed" held in this
county a day or two ago, the old "Rag of
Treason" floated unmolested over the crowd
and among the speakers was Ex-Gov. Watts,
who was encouragement under that arch
traitor, JEFF Davis. Watts said ''We, the
Democrats of Alabama, who constitute the
white mems party of the state, will never
submit to a negro in office, no, never, even
though history repeats itself; and will go
farther and say that we will never submit to
white men placed in office by black votes"
This structure was greeted by rebel yell,
loud and hearty. There is talk of again
raising the old rag, (Which, by the way, is
one of the first ever carried by Alabama
troops and bears the inscription, 'Lades of
Florence to Lauderdale Volunteers,"l with a
view to keep it up during the presidential
campaign. Now wonder if the Comrades
of E. H. Stoughton post, G.. A. R., would
not like to join me in body and assist in
dragging it in the dust once more just by
way of keeping up our end of the war which
they insist upon showing us by such acts is
not yet over.

remarkable invention of its class. for

D;SrOaltPnt

Some men Of fair abilities have never
made their mark in the world, because
they were never content to continue in
one calling. They have undertaken
many things with promise of success,
but abandoned them before accom-
pliShing anything One cause of this
changeableness is Incidence. Nothing
worth doing can be done without effort
So soon as a lazy man discovers that
his chosen occupation is laborious, he
decides to leave it and seek an easier
berth. But all honorable callings are
alike in this. There is no easy berth
One who is not content to toll can
never be content Another reason
why some men are forever changing is
found in their self-conceit. They count
themselves prodigies. The pursuit into
which they have naturally fallen is
not good enough. In their own esti-
nation their abilities qualify them for
something higher. Neglecting what
they are able to do. and attempting
what they are not equal to, they sink
lower instead Of rising higher. Owen
Meredith says, of one of his characters
in LUCILLE
with irreso1ute finger he knocked at
each one;
Of the doorWays Of life, but abided
at none;
His course by each star that crossed
it was set,
And whatever he did he was sure
to regret

Of this year with just four cents, three
Of which he spent i'll getting across the

with the 1-cent piece and a wife or
$1,000 in cash. He must neither beg,
borrow nor steal any money during his
tramp, nor use any Of his private for
