ROBBING THE TENDERFEEr,
Willimantic People Put $4,000 Into
That Montana Mine.
From the New York Recorder.

From the NeW York Recorder
The western mining swindle, which has
just come to light in Wlllimantic, Conn. in
which 80 many townspeopIe suffered peouni-
airy loss, proves tc be much deeper case
OF robbing the tenderfeet than was at first
imagined.
In July, 1890. E. W. Young, formerly of
New Haven. visited the east from Butte
City, Mont, to sell the stock Of the new
State Mining Company, near that city.
He visited his uncle, the Rev George Buck
OF Wllllmantic, and was introduced by him
to some of the business men Of the place,
who were pleased with the showing of the
mine and bought moderately. In 1891 Mr.
Young was sick in Butte City for some
nine months, and appealed to his uncle to
assist him in his distress. Mr. BUCKS SYM
patty led him to ask the assistance of a
banker in the place TO sell some of the
stock, and together with him, the required
amount was sold. All this was done with
out dollars commission.
The first dividend, cents per share per
month, wash issued on Dec. "a. 1891 and
was followed by three other like monthly
dividends. During the issuing of these div
idends Mr.. Young came east again to sell
stocks, with the avowed purpose OF buying
a crusher for the mine. After he had left
~ "oS uleSON6Eeu iudt the dividends were
paid out OF the sales of stock, and that the
plant which is believed to be valuable. had
been closed for some months previous to
this last sale. This last deal has uncovered
the fraud.
The amount invested in Willimaptic ia
about $4,000 Mr. Buck hau always
known Mr.. Young to be an honorable man
and placed implicit confidence in him. The
hrst investors got back about 80 per cent.
in their four dividends
Young was Yale man and is about 30
years old. His father was a New Haven
bank cashier and now lives In Waterbury
The letters from Montana which made the
disclosure that the New State Mining Conn
pany is an absolute swinde say that the
STATE prison is waiting for the baohers OF
the scheme If they can be found.

WATER TIE TRACKS.
Citizens Want the Electric Roads t.
Lay the Dust.

Citizens Want the Electric Roads to
Lay the Dust.
People living along the lines of the cleo
tricroads where they traverse sandy streets
are complaining of the dust raised by the
cars during dry weather. 1t is claimed that
the rapid movement OF the electric cars
raises as much duat almost as the operation
OF the roads by horsepower would.
The people want to know WHY electric
roads shouldn't be compelled to water their
tracks as we'll as the horse car lines. They
are certainly not exempt under section 1904
OF the city code, which reads as follows:
Each and every company or corporation
operating any street car line within tue limits
OF the city OF Savannah, shall water their tracks
SO as to effectually keep the dust on the same
laid. Every company or corporation violating
this ordinance shall be fined on conviction
thereof in the police court In the sum of $50 for
each and every violation of the sam9.
1t will be advisable for the electric rail-
way companies to carry out the terms OF
the ordinance, aud thereby stop the COM
plant of the citizens and at the same time
save themselves any trouble with the
authorities.

TIE LAST DAY TO REGISTER.
The Books to Close at 2 O'clock This
Afternoon.

1he Books to Close at 2 O'Clock This
Afternoon.
The county registration closes to-day at 2
o'clock. There will doubtless be a grand
rush to register this morning by those who
have postponed the matter until the last
hour. There cannot be many more voters
left to register. however, as the registration
Is already large. there being between 5000
and 5000 names registered.
To-day's registration will probably
bring the number up some hun
dreds. Saturday seemed to be a
a sort Of vacation with the politicians as
the registration was much less than was
expected. There are nearly 1000 negroes
registered. The recent agitation of the
fence law question was the means OF bring
ing out about 500 voters from the
country, chiefly colored, who
were alarmed by the threat OF an election
on the fence question and hurried to put
themselves in position to vote.
While the registration is large compared
with previous years it is not by any means
what 1t ought to be if the proper number of
citizens registered. Seven thousand would
not be a large registration for Chatham
county

TO HAVE A RIFLE RANGE.
The Guards Big Advantage at Camp
Northen

| When the Guards 60 to Camp Northen
they win have an advantage which the
regiment was much disappointed in not
having. 1t will be fine rifle range, where
they can learn something more than they
already know about shooting. The range
was there when the regiment was in camp,
but it was In such a way that the United
States officer pronounced It dangerous and
unsafe for use. Quar- termaster General West
has since put big force Of hands at work
to put the range IN proper condition and it
will be ready for the Guards and other COM
panies which go up from Savannah.
The selection OF Griffin by the advisory
board for an encampment site means big
things for the thriving little city. lt has
attracted to her the attention of the United
States army officers, and may result in a
permanent eucampment ground there for
the United States troops In this section.
Capt. Fields, who is at Camp Northen 10
charge OF the regulars, states that the
United States government wants to get in
the neighborhood OF Griffin the longest
rifle range In the United States, to be 4 900
yards long and 200 to 800 yards wide. Tue
government is willing TO pay reasonable
price for it.
The idea is a recent one, but q very tangi-
BILE one. and the place most desirable is
right along the Georgia Midland railway,
passing through the Mills place; but IL this
cannot be obtained another range will be
sought.
II this is secured the troops at Fort Nc
Pherson- with which those at st. Augustine
will probably soon be consolidated, would
all go to Griffin for a summer vacation.
AS each company would practice week on
the range, the whole post would be there
from eight to twelve weeks in the summer,
occupying the camps while vacated by the
volunteers. Each company now averages
over sixty men, and would make an addi>
ton to the population during that time OF
from 500 to $50 men.
The rifles now in use in the army carry
about $500 yards with the proper ira eot-
DRY, but the French army is now using
rifles that carry 1000 yards aud these may
come into use in the United States.

THE TALK OF BLAINE.
SAVANNAH POLITICIANS SPECU-
LATING ON THE SITUATION.

Democrats Are Jubilant, But Repub-
licans Keeping Very Quiet The
Cleveland Men Ready for a Repeti-
ton of the Events OF 1994-rhe Re-
suits of the Minneapolis Convention
Anxiously Awaited.
The resignation of Secretary Blaine and
his probable candidacy against Presi-
dent Harrison for the republican nomina-
ton has overshadowed everything in the
nature of local politics in Savannah. II is
the only political situation talked about
now.
The republicans are keeping quiet and
awaiting developments, but the democrats
are talking, theorizing aud calculating.
The majority of them think the move OF the
willy secretary means his nomination by the
republicans, and they express themselves
as delighted with the prospect, because
they think Blaine can be easily beaten.
The reasons advanced are that if Blaine
secures the nomination Harrison's friends
will be 80 mad at the ex-secretary for what
looks like double dealing that they will
either vote against him at the election or
remain away from the polls altogether.
Clevelands admirers here, and they are
large majority, think that if the contest is
to be- between Cleveland and Blaine the
result will be a repetition of 1884, with the
exception that the ex-President's majority
will be very much increased. Tney believe
if Blaine is nominated all doubt as TO Cleve-
lands nomination by the democratio cons
vention will DO removed. The country will
call for it, they say, and the party will have
to hearKen to the voice Of the people.
Nothing hardly was talked OF at
the hotels, clubs and other public places
yesterday except the prospective fractional
fight between the Harrison and Blaine
forces, and the bright prospects for demo-
cratic success. All democrats of Savannah.
whether for or against Cleveland, are
pleased with the outlook.
The new phase in the situation has aroused
80 much interest that the bulletin board of
the MORNING NEWS will be as eagerly
watched during the Minneapolis convention
as during the Chicago convention.

Col. G. IL Phinizy telegraphed President
Plant from Savannah last w ednesday, ask

loss TO the city. also stating that he would
be in New York this week to see him in
person. President Plant replied that he
would be glad to meet him.
He has also replied to the protests
of Augusta citizens chat the action of the
legislature 10 forcing the company under
the commission, thereby materially reduce
ing its charges for services rendered, and
the late and proposed action Of the Augusta
city council, compel the most rigid economy
in the management.

TRAVELS OF A TRUNK.

Sent to Norwich, England, Instead of
the Little Connecticut Town.
From, the Neto York Recorder.
Miss Belle Crawford Of Norwich, Conn,
is very happy in the possession of trunk.
She made her first visit to New York three
months ago, and when about to return
packed her belongings in full in an
antique hair cloth trunk. But the trunk
went to the Cunard pier instead of the
Norwich pier, and took a trip across the
ocean.
Miss Crawford reached here almost with
out raiment in consequence Of the trunks
disappearance. Some one across the pond
followed it TO Norwich, England, and not
being claimed there it went back to Liver
pool. Finally it was traced, and after being
sent hither and thither by the Cunard COM
pany 1t recrossed the ocean and Miss Craw-
ford again has her outfit OF clothing, which
has been examined by over 200 persons dur
