ANXIOUS TO SECURE AN HEIREss
Lots of Dupes for Man Who Adver-
tised for Correspondents.
From the New York Herald

Buffalo, Sept 25.-Deputy Marshal Colt
arrived in Buffalo last night from Mag
ara Falls with George Woodward, alias
Charles Moore, who was arrested in that
city charged with using the United
States mail to defraud.
Woodward's scheme was to insert mat
rimonial notices in rural papers through
out the country from New York to San
Francisco, calling for correspondents for
q young lady, 81 years old, worth 800 900,
who lived unhappily with her guardian
and wanted TO marry.
Answers were sent to post Office box No
9, Niagara Falls, Ont, and from seventy
five to one hundred letters were received
daily for him. Woodward would reply to
them in a lady's handwriting, enclosing a
photograph of a handsome young woman,
and propose that the writer send enough
money for the mythical heiresS to come to
him, then they would be married quietly
to escape the stern guardian, and
return and get her property.
Many letters came with photographs of
anxious ones, and Woodward was receiy-
ing an income Of several hundred dollars a
week, living high and becoming quite
popular. He opened an o"4ce in a 4large
business block at the Falls in partnership
with a well-knOwn attorney, and adveruis-
ed as real estate dealer. Some one of his
dupes notified the police of his schemes
and, after some weeks spent in tracing
the mail, he was arrested in the act of
openinga batch of some 20 letters
at his hotel last night. His partner was
engaged with him in this task and strong
suspicious of his completely in the case
are held, but owing to his past life of hon
orable business career, he being once the
assistant district attorney of Niagara
county he has baar Giuupl,r lropt r1pd or
surveillance. 1t is believed that some
woman is in with Woodward in the deal
He will be taken before the commission
ers tomorrow morning for hearing.

A NEW SNAKE DISCOVERED.
A Reptile With Horn on the End OF
It's Tail, Which Feeds on Frogs.
From the Philadelphia Press.

FROM bu6 f-ullduGIpn4d ITeSS.
A new snake has been discovered by
reed bird hunters down in the Neck, and
all the small boys and many men are
searching night and day for specimen,
in order that they can secure the 800
offered by Superintendent Brown of the
Zoo, for the capture of the first reptile of
the species. The snakes at the Zoo are
fed on frogs. and last week Mr. Brown
learned from the collectors that snake
about five feet long, with a horn on the
end of it's tail had been playing havoc
with the frogs down in the Neck and had
made the frog market very tight.
The hunters say that the snake has a
way of gathering in a whole frog family
at a gulp, and it was in this way that the
new snake was discovered.
On Tuesday last James Martin, who
lives near the end of Twelfth street, was
out in the swamp with his gun and dog
He had good luck, and his pockets were
filled with fat reed birds and a brace of
plover. He started home, but his atten-
ton was arrested by a peculiar noise,
and his dog STOOD" as if there was
game in sight. Nothing appeared,
but the dog seemed to be trans
fixed. Martin investigated, and found
about a dozen frogs on a small hum
mock in the swamp, and a large snake
was grabbing them right and left. Martin
says that the snake had a very large
mouth, was fully five feet long and that
there was horn on the end of his tail
which he used to kill the frogs. After
striking the frogs, he would proceed to
eat them. Martin was so dumfounded at
the unusual spectacle that he forgot he
had his gun with him, and the snake
wriggled off.
Superintendent Brown says he has a
number of curious reptiles at the Zoo and
he will pay 800 to the person who brings
him snake that comes anywhere near
being like the one described by Martin.

the Schmidt and Carroll buildings were
both beyond saving. and attention was
turned to adjacent property. A bucket
brigade was formed. and numerous
sheds. fences. etc. were quickly pulled
down. but ii was not until after about
an hours fearfully hard, hot work that
all danger eff spreading had passed. and
the two buildings mentioned had been
totally destroyed.
The building belonging to Albert
Schmidt Of Helena was a large two.
story frame. well built several years ago
at a cost OF $1,000. and was occupied by
a number OF colored prostitutes. The
furniture. etc, was all saved, but was
considerably damaged by rough hand
ling. The building was insured for
$1,000 with William Courtenay.
The house owned by Mrs. Carroll was
a single story cottage. recently purchas-
ed by her for $3.50. and extensive repairs
upon it would have Beer completed in a
few days. 1t was insured for s4OO. in
C~ourtenay's agency and $500 with +. NJ.
Schwartz. and was unoccupied, except
by a a who slept there to protect the
premises.
The fire was undoubtedly an lncen.
diary. as one of the women in Schmidt.s
building heard someone walking by her
window. which faced the Carroll build
ing. and pulled her curtain down. while
a few minutes later she saw the small
building in flames.
