A Yonn4 Mans Career.

Lewis ]. Dewsnop. who was arrested
yesterday noon by Chlef Of Police
Francis, OH a charge OF obtaining
money on false pretenses, was Az
raixned before Judge Ball this morn.
Ing and ordered to furnish $500 bail
for a hearing next Tuesday. As stated
yesterday, 1t is alleged that lie forged
and negotiated several checks for
small amounts and 1t is probable that
these charges will also be brought
against him.
Dewsnop has had an unenviable ca :
reer in this city and has been char ged
with number Of oifenses, but has al.
ways managed to escape punishment
He first came into public notice when
employed by the late s. Sutterly as q
photographer. There was some trou-
BILE about money matters and Dewsnop
left the city, but after Mr.. Sutterly's
death returned and secured employ
Inent with j. Il. Cummlns, his sue
ce5sor. Again there was some trouble,
this time about some silver, and
llewsnop was obliged to leave again.
Some time afterwards he returned,
and after protesting conversion Joined
Wesley NJ. L. Church and was appar-
emily thoroughly reformed.
He seemed devoted to the church
and Its interests. becoming O Sabbath
school teacher and local preacher. He
formed a company OF the boys and
thoroughly trained them In the Zouave
drill, and also saw that they were fur
nished with uniforms. When Wesley
Church gave a bazaar to raise greatly
needed funds, no one worked harder
or more assiduously than newsnop.
| lie bought cakes and candies from
Lang * Brothers, for which he failed
to pay, and MIR. Adam Lang had u
warrant issued for his arrest. but the
matter was compromised by his Civ
Ing note Tor the amount. with a good
endorser, who was finally obliged to
pay the note.
Before the bazaar was opened he
collected quite large amount OF
money from business men and others,
toward assisting the church for which
with his accustomed absence OF mind,
he failed to make any returns. He also
used for his own benefit $50 OF the
money he had realized from the sale
OF tickets, and when called upon by
the pastor for the amount which was
greatly needed by the church, gave
him check for SS3. The paste took
the check to bank, only to lind that II
was worthless.
February 8. charges were preferred
against him for emhezzllng money he
longing to the church, and at hear
ing before committee of local preach
ers, he was, on his own confession
suspended. il was then reported that
Il warrant would he Issued for his ar
rost, and he evidently had bushes:
out oftown, as no suddenly left ant
did not return until about ten days
ago. The charges against him wer,
taken up before tho Quarterly Confer
ence, which met February 2S, and HI
was expelled from the church.
This morning his aged mother wa
present at the Municipal Court. M,
made plea to Judge Ball for her or
ring son but II is scarcely probable
that he will succeed In escaping pun
ishment this time. He is about 81

OAKLAND WATERFRONT SUIT.

a suit involving a great many millions
OF dollars was commenced in Oakland on
Saturday. The commencement of the suit
is movement on the part of the Oakland
Common Council to recover possession of
the water front The property is now in
the hands of the Oakland Waterfront
Company, but it is understood that the
southern Pacific of Kentucky is the real
defendant The series of acts of legsla-
lures and court decisions by which Oak
land has been deprived of land essential
to Its existence as a commercial city form
shameful chapter in the history of this
State. They not only show the grasping
nature of the Southern Pacific Company,
Out the willingness of Oakland officials to
Join IN the work of despoiling the city
whose interests had been intrusted to their
hands. The stake was well up in the tens
OF millions. and no expense has been
spared in perfecting the details of the
scheme. The present City Council of
Oakland have undertaken the work of
their lives. They have, however, the ad-
vantage of having the people of Oakland
at their backs. If they succeed in wrest-
Ing the water front from the tight grasp
of the Southern Pacific they will live in
history as being the first public men to
bring the rapacous corporation to obedi-
ence to law as it is enforced against others.
