STRAW BONDSMEN
A Most Notorious Case
Revived.
Three-Card Monte Men Charged With
Perjury in Connection With CIin-
ton K. Smiths Bond.

John Hall is a miner from Idaho and on
Saturday while lounging about the Palace
Hotel he was accosted by young rIan
who pleasantly invited him to take stroll
TO $50 Mission street to see some samples
of new kind of cloth made from grass.
The young man explained that be was get
ting suit of the material made for him.
When they reached the house on Mission
street two other men were there and one
of them in pulling out his handkerchief
dropped three playing cards on the floor.
The Idaho miner had experienced the
tricks Of three-card monte men before and
he was not to be taken in.
Officers Cleary and Allen had had the
three men under surveillance and they
walked in and placed them under arrest.
They took them to the Southern Police
Station where they gave the names of
Charles /. Grant, Thomas s. Ryan and
John Howard. Grant and Ryan are
recent arrivals from Chicago.
The three were taken to the City Prison
last evening. where Grant and Ryan were
booked for vagrancy. but Green had the
more serious charge of perjury put down
against him.
Detective Hogan is the complaining wit
ness against Green, and the perjury was
committed in connection with straw
bond accepted in April last by Clerk
Stevens of No. / police court for the re-
lease of Clinton K. Smith, who was
charged with assault with a deadly
weapon upon Claude Lee.
The bond was accepted by Stevens late
one night in king" McManus' saloon, 16
Third street. and Attorney Fred Frey was
with the two straw bondsmen at the
time of its acceptance by Stevens.
j. b. Jordan, alias l.. Morrison, sure
thing gambler. was arrested by Detective
Hogan on April % on the charge of per-
jury, as it was claimed that he was one of
the two men who went on Smiths straw
bond. His preliminary examination was
held before Judge Conlau, and on May Is
he was held 10 answer before the Superior
Court in $1,000 bopds.
Attorney Frey was indicted by the
Grand jury in connection with the same
bond on the charge of forgery, as it was
claimed that he signed the two fictitious
names 10 the bond.
Clerk Stevens yesterday identified Green
at the Southern police station as one of
the two men who swore to the bond in
McManus' saloon. Green is said ID have
signed the name of &c. A. Lewis" to it.
Green is about 81 years of age. He
claims to have kept hotel all his life;
that he sold his hotel in New York and
came to San Francisco over a year ago, in
tending to buy lodging-house here. He
formerly ran a lodgine-house On Mason
street, he says.

The West Point Le01er, Of the 18th,
complains of our misunderstanding OF
its meaning in reference to violators OF
the Sunday laws in that progressive
and usually quiet little city. 1t was II
misconstruction dcducable from the
lang guagc of the Leader. There have,
in different parts of our State been so
many violators OF all laws, it was by no
means u far fetched construction.
There is ceytain bad element of pop
ulation in most of our towns, who are
ready to oppose the best interests OF
society, and that some OF that sort had
come to front with blood and thunder
in their eyes in West Point, was at
least Il pardona6c construction OF the
Leaders language. We are truly glad
to know that it was more IA ldpsus In
quue than potent fact. and will shake
hands over this bloodless chasm, and
rock along with our usual good will
sentiment to the Leader and the good
people Of West Point, provided the
olive branch is accepted. 1t affords US
pleasure to say that the Leader is not
only generally correct in statements OF
facts, but its editorials breathe q spirit
of progress and Il devotion to West
Points pest interest. highly creditable

REV. GEO. s. INGE,
A. Grent and Good Man in Israel Has
F.llen.

Few men have died engaged in any
cause who had brighter future than
the Rev. Geo. S. Inge, who expired at
the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, on last
Tuesday morning, after u short illness,
from overwolk. He died in the prime
of his life and in the youth Of his
acme. A lawyer by profession and
choice. his talents soon developed one
of the brightest lights at the bar of
North Mississippi, but now and then
overshadowed with dissipation, which
brought to his sensitive mind all the
sufferings of remorse, which was in
creased by the tender sympathies OF
his devoted wife. 1t was at this period
of his life, six years ago, that he fell
under the withering appeals of Rev.
Sam Jones, in Corinth, his home, and
processing religion, he changed the
whole tenor of his life. His next step
was to change his business from the
bar to the pulpit, and never did a more
sincere man abandon one profession for
another as his unremitting labors in
the cause OF temperance and religion
amply prove.
Like all mon of zeal and brains, in
the outset of his preaching, he made
some mistakes, which we're soon cor
rected, when he entered upon course
of the highest and holiestambition. He
almost at once became a favorite, not
only of his own church, the Methodist,
but OF communities where he waged the
most relentless war upon whisky and
other evils, and preached the gospel OF
reform, peace and good will. His pow
ers of oratory were of the highest,
sometimes transcending the highest
expectations of his friends. Finding
the field of the Evangelist pore con-
genial to his tastes and more suitable
TO his splendid talents, he could not
conclude one engagement before anoth-
er or several were rendered. This con-
slant exercise of mind was more than
his physical constitution could stand,
and as results proved, he soon exhaust
ed it's resources, and fell at last a
martyGsto the cause OF God and human
ity. George S. 1nge was eloquent in
his telling gesturcs,-he was eloquent
in his flowing ]anguagc,-he was elo'
ouent in his great thoughts,-he was
eloquent in his ringing voice,-he was
eloquent in his fiery Indignation at
sin,-he was eloquent in the wooing
graces OF his earnest appeals for d bet
ter life. Grenada. as well as other pla-
ces in the State, and out of it, where ne
preached, will long remember his com
manding presence; his splendid ina.
gerry; his spiritual earnestncss; his c'o-
quent tongue. Around his dying couch
were his aged father and devoted wife,
besides loving friends. He was buried
at Corinth, his old hopc, amidst the
tears of the people. AS an Evangelist
he was second to the great and only
Sam Jones.

CHAPTER III.

There is sonething trying, even to
2 placid temperament, in being met
with smile and a waggish shake of the
head when you am ounce your intention
of speaking seriously. Mrs. Jack was
not of a placid temperament. She was,
besides, a good deal agitated, and was
making an effort to command her emo
tions; and, when Mr.. Lilly received
her first earnest little speech as if it
were the most amusing thing in the
world, rolling his eyes and nodding
his head sideways, she felt, if the truth
must be told, desperately provoked.
One good result Of Mr.. Lilly's church.
warden was that he could not show
his teeth while he was smoking but
this comforting reflection did not occur
to Mrs. Jack. "
y assure you am very much in
earnest" she said, with q little gasp in
her voice. She was very near crying
like a mortified child, but she gulped
down the weakness.
"Ah, to be sure! Well, go on, Bell;
say y what hat you have have to say, by all
MI: Lilly rolled bis eyes about until
they rested oa his wife. Mrs. Lilly kept
her eyes on her needleworlS,
The needlework had it's advantage
to the spectator as well as the
churchwarden, for it occupied Mrs. Lii
ly's gaze, which was apt to be too round
and staring ana beady.
Mrs. Jack made no Iause but struck
out boldly into the middle of her sub
ject. II cannot make my income do,
Mr.. Lilly" she said. II can't, really"
"Ho, no! Can't make 1t do. eh?
What can't you make it do, Bcll?'
II can't make 1t keep myself and my
child, sirss'' answered Mrs. Jack, prompt-
ly, and In raised tone. The next mo-
ment she moderated her voice again,
and went on:
II wish to speak calmly, and to go
into the matter with you reasonably,
Mr.. Lilly. am sure you will hear rea-
son."
II shall certainly listen to it if / do
hear It," he tetorted, aud was SO satis-
fed with the stroke that he TOOK his
pipe out Of his mouth to chuckle. Mrs.
Lilly raised her eyes, stirred straight be-
fore her out of the window, and shifted.
Mrs. Jack proceeded:
II have tried-I really have tried most
conscientiously all his year; but / can't
make 1t do. You see I had never in
all my life known what It wa was to want
money. qvaS At home I had eEeEything /
wished for, althe ergh, of course, we

appreciation of the thought in her faith

BTTRNED WITH ACID.

Ashland, Wis, Special-Six men were
horribly burned by acid in the steam at
the Ashland Sulrhate Fiber companys
plant here yesterday. The fatally burned
were Joseph Hcran, Charles Burdick and
T. Wesling. Joseph Reisner, Stenz Bes-
lick and George Constance were all seri-
ously buried The recovery of any of
the victims is doubtful The night crew
was at work getting out the regular mid
night cooking. The six injured men were
removing the cover from the lower part
of one of the digesters when the whole
substance of acid, steam and pulp came
down on them. The room was filled with
steam instantly, which extinguished the
lights and made escape difficult. The
men jumped for their lives from the raised
platform on which they were working,
but the ACID splashed on them at every
turn. Other employees of the mill turned
In to the rescue. Three of the fatally
burned men were found in the water tank
immersed to their necks, where they had
found temporary relief from their suffer
ings.
