Martin and HIS Methods.

New YORK, February H.-[Special. The
business career of Stuart I. Martin,
a young man we'll known in
Georgia and Alabama has probably
been cut short by an attachment suit for $S20,-
COO brought by Edward Morton and Charles
Gallagher, of this city. Martin and his assets
have not been found by the sheriff, but the
suit has exposed his methods. Martin passed
as vice president of the Pratt Steel Company
and treasurer of the European and Amerl-
can Credit and Trust Company. lie was also
vice president of the Mexican Investment
Company. The latter companies, SO far as can
be learned, are bogus.
The names of a number of prominent citi-
Zens were given as directors OF the two com"
panies without their knowledge or consent.
Since the attachment for Martins property
was issued yesterday afternoon, it has de-
yeloped that he has swindled a number Of
well-known men out of considerable sums
Among others he succeeded in getting $1,000
out of Colonel Robert Ct. Ingersoll. Five years
ago Martin was clerk in the Wilson house
in Birmingham, Ala. The Pratt Steel com
pauy was organized there with & capital OF
S3. 0OO. COO on paper and Martin was the sec
rotary and financial manager or the
COMPANY None of the capital stock
was paid in, but the company claimed
to own the patents of the steel-making pro-
cess discovered by State Chemist Pratt, or
Georgia The company proposed to build
steel plant at CartersVllle, ga, ana tllo LOW
subscribed S25, 900, part of which was paid
to Martin, who opened an Office there lie was
a handsome dashing young fellow. and was
soon engaged to q prominent yoang lady III
the town.
He spent the money given him for the steel
plant and loft the town owing board plli Oh
S167 and did not say goodby to his be-
trothed. He came to New York then and has
since been engaged in various bogus financial
schemes He is reported to have left the city.

Little Deeds OF Kindness That Have Made
People Rich.


People Rich.
From The New York Sun.
An aged and crippled stranger in Rondout
got aboard a crowded street car there; young
lady in the car rose from her seat and gave 1t

a Philadelphia doctor was walking through
a street of that city one night some time ago
when q hagGard man approached him and
begged little money; the doctor gave him
the dole, and the beggar asked the name OF
tic giver, saying he would not forget his
kindness; and week ago the doctor got a pack
age and letter from Brazil, sent by the man
whom he had aided tho package contained a
gem weighing twenty caratS, worth SS,O0O,
and the letter contained q passage running
thus: fIror your kindness to me when starv-

bearing an appropriate inscription, ana 10 the
sailor a valuable gold watch, with chain and
charm At the same time similar gilt was
sent, through our minister at Madrid, to q
Spanish seaman who had displayed bravery in

ship. These last two narratives are taken
from a Washington dispatch published in The
Sun of the 9th instant.
On Monday last a tramp living in this city
found diamond brooch in the outside base

While the sultan of Turkey was banqueting
in one Of his palaces last Tuesday heavy

forward, at some risk to himself, and saved
Abdul Tamid from danger. The grateful sui

the grand Gordon Of tho Order of Osmanliegh.
This narrative has already been printed among
our cable dispatches from Constantinople.
Narratives of the kind here given, narratives
Of courtesy, honesty and courage, are always
pleasant reading in a world that contains

The Eirinan Prepared.

PARIS, February 14.-Senor Lobo will be-
come minister of the interior in the place OF
Senior PETRA, who has resigned.
The secretary Of the British embassy in Con-
siantinople had an audience with the sultan
yesterday and it is semi-otficially announced
today that the firman of investiture Of The
present khedive of Egypt has been prepared,
and that it is worded in the exact terms OF the
frman investing the late khedive, Tewtih
Pasha.
This is regarded as a signal success for Eng
lish diplomacy, as it defeats the attempts to
induce the sultan to insert in the frman in
structions to the khedve rejecting upon Eng
lish supremacy in Egypt. The ceremony of
investiture will take place in Cairo in accord
ance with the desire of England and with the
concurrency of the khedive.

Hubbard Of TcXns for Hill.

AUSTIN, Tex, February I.-[Special.l =
Tho Hill tidal wave has rolled all over the
Lone Star State, leaving few localities I'M
touched.
Ex-Governor RichardiB. Hubbard expresses
his preference for Hill i'll tho strongest and
most positive terms. He admires the brain, the
nerve and the clean and patriotic dem
oCratic record of the New York statesman,
and pronounces him the coming man.
Governor Hubbard is a Georgian by birth,
and there is not more popular political
leader in Texas or in the southwest. In 1881
he was temporary chairman of the national
democratic convention, and during Cleve-
lands administration was minister to China,
where he made splendid record. lie
agrees with Mr.. Cleveland's friends in their
high estimate of his character and ability. but
recognizes the fact that New York's choice is
Hill, and that the democracy cannot hope to
succeed without uniting upon the man New
York presents.
About fifty Texas paper are enthusiastic
ally supporting. Hill, and others show dis
position to join his column.
Among the people it is Hill everywhere.
The banner democratic state of the union is
preparing to send a solid delegation to Chicago
for her faYoritc.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
WHAT las TRANSPIRED DURING
THE PAST WEEK.
Free Coinage Assured ut Least it VIII Pass
the Democratic House Very Soon
Elaine's Denial-Cther News.

WASHINGTON. February o. - Tho house
committee ION coinage, weights and meas
ures has reported favorably the free coinage
bill prepared by Mr.. Bland. The bill pro-
vides for the free coinage of all silver present
ed at the mint to the amount of $40 Or more.
1t provides that the holder of bullion can
take coin or certificates payable in "cOin,"
which means payable i'll either gold or silver,
and thus place gold and silver upon a parity.
The bill provides that the standard silver dol
lar shall contain 412l grains, but there is
further provisions that if there should be an
international silver conference and France and
other coun tries should be willing to enter into
an agreement for free coinage the world over,
that the number Of grains contained in the
standard silver dollar if France insists upon
it, may be reduced to 400 grains. which is the
unit now adopted by the French government.
What Would the President DO?
Mr.. Bartine, of Nevada, q republican MEM
Der Of the committee, says that if this bill
passes, and it is certain to pass sthe house, that
the president would not dare to veto it. Not
withstanding his declaration to the contrary
lie says, should Mr.. Harrison veto this bill,
the republican party would lose several west-
ern states, and no one is more cogniZant of this
fact than the president himself Whether or
not this be true it is certain that nothing on
earth can now prevent the house from passing
a Tree coinage Dill within the next tnlfty Gays.
The chances are that the senate will do like
wise, and then tile president will be placed III
position where he will have to either sign or
veto the measure.
