SEVEN DOLLARS.
HENRY MARCO is OUT JUST THAT
AMOUNT;


Because He Cashed Check for Q stran-
ger and tho Check Now Proves to be q
Forgery.
Henry Margo, the North Plum street
meat man would not cash q check for his
own grandmother this morning, not TO
say the grandmother OF sny one else.
Margo, bit once and was bitten In return,
hence this tale of woe.
Saturday evening, q sleek stranger, not
too we'll dressed, aged about thirty years,
about feet nine inches In height, and
wearing light nous stache, entered MARI
go's shop and bought meat to the value
of 30 cents The meat was wrapped up
and handed TO the stranger who rendered
in payment a check, drawn In favor of
Edward Gilbert, and signed Joseph
Weaver q Son.
The check was properly endorsed on
the back, and as the stranger stated that
he was employed at Weaver's lumber
yards, the check, which called for $3.50
was cashed by Margo, and the stranger
given 81 In change.
The check was drawn on the First Ma
tional Bank OF Canton, and Margo pre-
sented IL there Monday for payment He
wan told that the signature did not appear
to be regular, and the bank refused to pay
the check unless MIR. Weaver should say
that II was all right.
Margo took the check and went to
Weaver's lumber yard office, where he
was informed by Mr.. Weaver that the
check was not genuine, the signature was
a forgery, and that there was no such q
man as Edward Gilbert on the pay roll.
Margo is therefore out 81 besides 30 cents
worth of meat.
The matter has been placed in the hands
of Marshal Gentry, who Is investigating

New YORK, Nov. 2.-The latest convert
to Democracy Of prominence Ia Gen. Rush
G, Hawkins Of the Union League club
who commanded the famous Hawkins
zouaves, during the war. He writes a
strong letter In favor of Grover Cleveland
and honest government. or Harrison he
says:
"History will record that the present
Administration forgot the great pivotal
fact that 1t presided over nation. 1t is
only bribe sower and q vote grower,
with both eyes ever looking after a sec.
ond term, and with never o thought for
the public good.
Holding these views, IL is quite impossi-
BILE for me to understand how any patri-
otic American, possessed of the least
amount of love of country, can vote to
continue the present reign of misrule.n
He scores Mckinley very vigorously and
severely. Here is an extract from his let
ter on Mckinley:
Mr.. Chamberlain in his Philadelphia
speech hit the Harrison nail squarely on
the head. The Mckinley act, so>called,
was lobbied through Congress by paid
agents Of the interests to be protected.
The man whose name it bears was only a
tool, willing one, to be sure, because he
had personal ends of political nature to
serve.
Gen. Hawkins declares he will vote for
Grover Cleveland.
