A NEGRO SWINDLER.
Will Washington Again Takes in a
Country Visitor.

Last night about o'clock, a country
, boy named Albert Heck, aged about u
years, went into a shoe store near the
Bella Union theatre to purchase pair of
shoes. One moment later Will Washing
ton, tough negro, entered the store and
asked the stranger to go with him, telling
him he could show him store where he
could get shoes to a much greater ad-
vantage. Heck took the advice of his
new acquaintance and the two started for
another store
Il am in the city to secure some ranch
hands, and will give you job at S35 per
month";" said Washington.
The boy was delighted with the pros
meets and accepted the supposed situa-
ton.
Now | am going out in the morning
and you meet me al the National bank at
o'clock. But say, | have gold watch
in soak for 50. Can you let met have
that amount until morning." asked the
negro.
Certainly" waS.the reply as the poor
man "fOrked" over the money.
Washington then went and gave soma
OF the money to a negro woman. This
morning at Q o'clock the "cOuntry'' w as
at the bank ready to go to the ranch but
Washington did not appear. He waited
one hour and then realized that his new
boss was a swindler. He went to the de-
tective'S Office and informed Captain
Hughes of the occurrence. Detective
O'Meara went in search of Washington
and arrested him at the Bella UuiOn at
II o'clock, after having chased him for
some time He was taken to the city
prison where charge of swindling was
preferred against him.
1t will be remembered by the readers Of
the LIGHT that Washington has played
this same game several times and has
g rived out number of fines for being a
suspicious character

FINANCIAL FACTS,
Wall Street in the Hands of the
Professional Element.


NEW YORK, Nov. O.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will saw:
The only enlivening feature in the
weeks market was the short but rather
sharp bullish manifestation which fol-
lowed the somewhat surpr ising result
of the election. The professional ele-
ment alone seemed responsible for the
movement. Shares of the Sugar COM
pany had been depressed on the idea
that the sugar schedule would be one
OF the first items to receive the atten-
ton Of the committee on ways and
means, and that the revision was un-
likely to favor the concern.
Chicago Gas and other industrials also
showed more or less strength. while
the railroad list was sympathetically
higher.
The movement, however, seemed to
develop little or no real buying power.
Some shorts were covered, and the
room traders showed their usual dexter
ity in getting III and then getting oat
just as quickly. By Thursday the effect
was over. ana the market drifIed back
into condition of dullness. followed by
renewed activity on the part OF a few
leading bear operators.
The increase in the short interest is
notable. but it does not seem that there
is any tendency to liquidate holdings of
long stocks, the floating supply being
limited, which fact necessarily restricts
the movement of the market in either
direction. London is not inclined to

Intense Excitement Over the
Trial Of Phil Evans.
WHITE PEOPLE I'M A RAGE

Fiend's Career
IF THE LAW FAILS TO Do n

BARDsTowN, KY, Nov. 1O.-This
place tonight is in state of intense ex-
cltement and an occurrence like this
may cause race war that will result in
much bloodshed. For over weeb
the people of this and surrounding
counties have been aroused to
high pitch over the assault of Edna
Hall by negro, Phil Evans. The trial
has been in progress for two DAYS, and
not until this afternoon was any evil
dence introduced that was at all favora
bic to the accused. At the trial thi.
evening the testimony of one of the
witnesses tended to prove the innocence
of tue accused. The negroes have all
along been favorable to Evans. A crowd
OF them had cOngregated outside the
court house, when Evans was being con.
Quoted from the court house to the jaiI
by the militia, they cheered him. The
streets were packed with crowds OF
whites. The cheering of the negroes 50
eXasperated the whites that an outbreak
occurred. The deputies made a charge
upon the negroes and arrested three
of them. Leroy Wickenheff was
badly wounded and may die.
Paul Geary and another negre
named Jones were arrested. Sew,

wrought up over the affair, and threat

ever, greatly Outnumber the blacks
and an outbreak will result
in disaster for the latter,
The action of the negroes has largely
intensified the feeling of the whltes,a and
there are many rumors concerning a
mob TO take the law into its own hands
and make Evans pay the penalty for his

Alleged Son OF the Iron King
Does the TenderIoin District.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Thomas NJ.
Carnegie, who says he is a son of An
drew Carnegie, the Pittsburg iron king,
was prisoner i'll Jefferson Market po-
lice court this morning, charged with
intoXication, and with him were ar
raigned David L. Jones, a cab driver, and
Henry Small, colOred man. Carnegie
was anxious TO press charge of larceny
against the others. but he had not suffi-
cient proof. Ali three were discharged
by Justice Koch.
1t seems that Carnegie hired jones'
cab at the Imperial hotel at midnight,
and started out tovisit as many saloons
as possible in the Tenderloin district
He had visited a number of these
when Carnegie ayers the driver
stopped the cab while a strange
men entered and took away his gold
watch and chain. When he left the
cab to chase the thief, Carnegie SAYS
the cab driver held him fast. Then the
driver drove Carnegie to a few more
barrooms, and at the Imperial hotel at 4
o'clock this morning Jones had Carnegie
arrested for refusing to pay his fare.
The cab driver says that Carnegie was

the cab on West Thirty-seventh street.
Thinking he was trying to avoid paying
his fare, Jones held his passenger. On
the advice Of policeman, the coIored
man, Small, agreed to ride on the driy-
er's seat to see that Carnegie did not try
to run away again. Policeman McCor-
mick, at the Imperial hotel, decided to
arrest all three men. Carnegie is a
blonde with a refined face, ana has been
leading rather gay life in New York
for several weeks.
